marc jacobs beauty lovemarc lip gel, amarte natural finish bb cream, organix moroccan argan oil, review

Marc Jacobs Beauty Lovemarc Lip Gel in 110 Role Play : I picked this up during the last Sephora VIB event and have been wearing it nonstop ever since. The "gellified lipstick" formulation is smooth, hydrating and longwearing. This highly pigmented shade which is described as dusty rose wears as a lustrous nude pink which is like the "perfect lips but better" color for me. The packaging is just as modern and luxurious as the lipstick. The sleek black case features a magnetic dot closure which prevents it from ever accidentally opening inside your bag.

Amarte Natural Finish BB Cream : I discovered BB cream years before they became popular in the US thanks to my love of Korean dramas because that's what everyone in them used to create their flawless complexions. I tend to stick with the Asian ones because they just work better on my skin. This one is my current favorite. It provides long lasting moisturizing and buildable coverage with a natural glowy looking finish and SPF 36 protection. Key ingredients include argan oil, shea butter and caviar extracts. Amarte even claims that you can sleep in it because their natural pigments in a state of the art moisturizing base won't block pores. I don't plan on doing that but it's good to know I can if I had to.

Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Light Penetrating Oil : A few drops of this lightweight oil really softens and silkens my hair before I dry it. I also like how it eliminates frizz and provides shine. I had been using Moroccanoil Treatment previously and I find the results from this product to be quite comparable. What's more, it has a fresh scent which smells better than Moroccanoil and is a fraction of the price.

Have you tried any of these products? What are your recent loves?

Woah that Marc Jacobs packaging is insaneeee. I want! I love my-lips-but-better shades, and this looks like a perfect match. Maybe I will have to persuade myself...

I am curious about all of them. Shame I wouldn't be able to use the serum, but I'll remember about the lipstick next time I go shopping. :)

Natalia | Look-A-Porter said...

P.S. Meant to say, the cream, no idea why I called it "serum"...

Lilli said...

Hi Rowena! I didnt know, nether tried any of these products but for sure would be very curious, especially the BB cream and the Moroccan Argan Oil. I know Asian products are the best for BB creams and this one sounds awesome! Plus it got the SPF which isnt common on BB creams. Happy Monday my dear, hope u have a great week! Kisses! xo

Jackie Harrison said...

I use the argan oil and love it as much as you doll. Happy Monday.

I like the color of the lipstick a lot! I used to use argan oil on my hair but my hairdresser yelled at me a year ago and told me my hair wasn't dry enough for it. It was really great for frizz though. :)

I haven't finished Creating Destiny yet. I actually don't think I've watched anything in over a week, sadly. I think wearing a shirt from a team with more 'character' would be really good for you. Not just one who wins all the time. Don't you get bored of winning? I find it really cuts down on the suspense. ;)

Diva In Me said...

I've heard good stuff about Marc Jacob's makeup and lipstick and gloss are to name a few. Now that I read your review, I really need to try one =)
My recent love and has been loving it since it was launched is Chanel's CC Cream. It's a great sunblock and foundation in one.

My Garden Diaries said...

Let me just say that all of these look so luxurious! I am thinking I am all over that cream! Who couldn't use something like that!!! Now if you find any good hand creams let me know...my hands are so beat from the garden and I need something that is really going to moisturize intensely!! A wonderful week to you friend!!! Nicole xoxo

Leslie said...

Ooooh good picks. I haven't used any of them but I'm obsessed with oils/natural hair care products so I'm going to have to try out that renewing hair smoother!

Vanessa N said...

HAHAHA the things you learn in kdramas, eh? I haven't tried any of these products, but dying to try one of Marc's blushes. The formula for that lippie sounds LUSH, as I do love 'gel' textures for lippies.

Love and Ace said...

Great picks! I've always wanted to try that oil for my hair... I think you've convinced me.. xx Kat

Your picks are always great. I have been into nude shade lipstick as of late too Rowena. I have yet to try darker nude shade but it looks tempting. The other two products seem like good ones too.

Jane said...

i've been using a different oil for my hair but interested in trying the one you mentioned! i definitely need oils for my hair!

ALLIE NYC said...

I've really been wanting to try the Marc Jacobs Lip Gel - I got the impression that it wasn't very creamy when I swatched it at Sephora but you may have changed my mind! It sounds great.

Hi Rowena! I haven't tried any of the products yet, I really should! I really like the Marc Jacobs lip gel looks promising! I just bought Maroccan oil from a different brand, I wonder if it's as good as the Organix one..

I use the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil almost every day. So amazing! I really need to try a Marc Jacob's lipstick. The packaging alone has me sold, and Role Play looks like the perfect neutral shade.

Madaline said...

Ooo I live in Italy and haven't gotten to try the Marc Jacob's lipstick yet! Going to pop down to Sephora and see if they have it...
Found you via SITS Saturday Sharefest!

The Real Mom said...

I'll have to try that Argan oil when my current hair oil runs out. Thanks for the recommendation. Over from SITS Saturday.

Leslie said...

I love that shampoo, I use it too. I got the keratin treatment a few months ago & it has really helped keep it fresh. I'm stopping by from SITS. I hope your having a great Saturday!
