Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation Review & Swatches

Hey guys! I tried a new foundation. It's Marc Jacob's Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation (Golden Deep #46) I actually purchased it the end of last year, but just started using it a couple of weeks ago. This has to be the fastest drying foundation, I have ever tried! Pump it out and apply quickly! HaHaHa I have dry skin, so I didn't know how this would work with my skin. I used a moisturizer, applied Smashbox's primer and then applied this foundation. It's very lightweight (perfect for Spring and Summer), so I'm astonished at the coverage I received. It covered nearly every mark on my face and dark circles (click on pictures below to make larger)! Keep in mind, I didn't use a concealer or finishing powder with this foundation (so can you imagine if I did)! It's a peculiar formula, but not gel like at all. The description for this foundation states, "Erase the past, perfect the present, and protect the future." For me that happened, but WARNING... the reviews on Sephora were mixed. Either folks loved it or hated it. I can only go by what it did for me and let you know my thoughts. I love the bottle! It fits comfortably in your hand and has a pump to dispense the product. It feels like a perfume bottle. Very elegant! So far I've tried 3 foundations! MAC (great coverage but heavy), Urban Decay (great coverage, medium weight) and Marc Jacobs (light coverage, lightweight). I'll still keep testing foundations. HaHaHa Each has it's pros and cons. I want to try Hourglass and Dior next, but I need to finish up these first. HaHaHa You can view all my foundation reviews HERE.

 Marc Jacobs Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl in Satisfaction #214

When I purchased the foundation, I also purchased this lip vinyl. This lip vinyl is SO MOISTURIZING! I love it! PLUS, it gives off great color and doesn't show up lip lines. It's like lip gloss meets lipstick, but with out any stickiness or dryness. The only thing is it TINGLES (tingle usually means lip plumper) when you apply it. Doesn't hurt or sting, but the tingle lasts for a couple of minutes and then goes away. THE BAD NEWS! I just checked Marc Jacobs site & Sephora (to order more colors) and these are no longer listed. THE GOOD NEWS! There's one color (reddish shade) of this in a set of other makeup on MJ site and these ARE listed on Amazon (probably eBay too). Somebody else asked about this dilemma HERE. Hopefully MJ is just taking the tingle out and going to put these back on his site and Sephora! Fingers crossed. Kind of disturbing as to why he took these off shelves. Did I not get the memo? What's in the tingle Marc? Are my lips gonna fall off? LMFAOOOOO
