Introduction- Jouer Cosmetics

screenshot001.jpg

I was recently introduced to the cosmetics line Jouer and wanted to share some of my favorite products with you. One thing I noticed right off was Jouer’s packaging is awesome! I love how the products can be stuck together kind of like Lego for the beauty obsessed. Depending on your needs you can leave them separated to fit in your makeup bag or snap them together and you have a customized makeup palette. Genius!

A few of my favorites! (I listed the colors I use on each product)

A great bronzer even on my fair skin the color blended  perfectly leaving a sun kissed look that avoided the overdone look I get with most bronzers.

NEW from Marc Jacobs: LOLA

mj-lola-line-up-3_r60lr.jpg

Two years ago, Marc Jacobs launched the wildly successful Daisy.  I love Daisy, it’s such a great scent.  I never actually splurged on buying it – but everytime I go to a Sephora – or Macy’s I definitely spray it on.

I was recently sent a sample of Marc Jacobs LOLA (in quite possibly the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen) and immediately I want to claim this scent as my own.   It is so ME! I wonder if everyone will feel this way. It’s just the best scent ever, probably one of – if not the one favorite perfume I’ve ever smelled.

Those that follow this site probably know that I never really review many fragrances, because I’m so darn picky.  But this scent is amazing. It’s so unbelievably intoxicating – that’s a great way to put it.  When it’s released – you need to go check it out.  See for yourself.  You won’t be sorry!

LOLA is a warm floral bouquet – irresistibly alluring, vividly tempting. The fragrance is an intoxicating swirl of rich layers, wrapping the skin in sensuous florals blooming with a signature of the fuschia peony.

LOLA sparkles with fruity topnotes of delectable bright pink peppercorn, seductive pear d’anjou and succulent ruby red grapefruit. The ultra-feminine heart is highlighted by the lavish dischia peony with soft touches of rose and geranium.

The base lingers on skin exuding a warm and seductive aura with enveloping notes of smooth vanilla, tonka bean and creamy musk.

“Where Daisy is more innocent and sweet, Lola is more sensual — the name conjures up a flirtatious, warm spirit,” Jacobs told WWD.

This week marks the 47th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death. Celebrate the life of Hollywood’s golden girl with these timeless tips!

Flawless Skin: Marilyn always had a flawless, radiant complexion. Get ready for a close up with Per-fekt Skin Perfection Gel. This three-in-one primer, foundation and color corrector gives skin a matte, air-brushed look ($57.50; Sephora.com).

Blushing Bombshell: Never afraid to act the innocent, Marilyn knew the power of a subtle blush. To get a “just-pinched” look try Too Faced Brightening Blush in Pinch My Petals. The pink-mauves brighten the cheeks, forehead and chin for a perfectly pretty glow! ($19.50; Toofaced.com)

Bedroom Eyes: Master Marilyn’s “Come-Hither” look with Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil in Pointe-Noire. The rich, velvety formula creates an instant and dramatic finish in a dramatic shade of black. ($22; Barneys.com). Complete the look with Laura Geller’s Full Figure Lashes Mascara. The short and long nylon fibers combine to lengthen and thicken the look of lashes while the carbon black shade finishes off the seductive look. ($23.50; QVC.com).

Perfect Pout: Marilyn Monroe was rarely seen without her signature red pout. To get the look try lining lips with Michael Marcus’s Lipstick in Debbie, a bold red. The classic shade stays put while the silky formula keeps lips kissable. ($24; MichaelMarcus.com).
