Marc Jacobs Makeup

MARC JACOBS has capitalized on the fashion industry with gorgeous collections of clothes, bags, shoes, accessories and fragrances.  Only thing left to add to his empire is beauty (although there's no launch date).  What's for certain is the high-end brand is set to debut color cosmetics with the beauty chain, SEPHORA.  A WWD interview revealed his take on beauty. 

 "I love the opportunity, wherever there is one, to adorn, to decorate, to scent, to dress.  That's what fashion is all about.  It's not necessary, it's something you want -- it's a fancy and a whim."

The designer plans to take his time with this one and I'm sure this range of cosmetics will be worth the wait.

What products would you like to see in this launch?  I'm wondering what the packaging will look like?  And who will be the face of the collection?

SEPHORA Ultimate Dual Exfoliating Face Brush

Healthy, luminous skin.  It's the look we all want.  Cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing maps the road to a beautiful complexion.

In an effort to keep my skin glowing, I use a face brush.  Lots on the market but I like to use the SEPHORA Ultimate Dual Exfoliating Face Brush/$18 with a gentle face wash.  What I LOVE about this brush is the double-sided head.  One side is a cushiony pink silicone pad with bristles that cleanse and polish skin while the other is a soft brush to gently exfoliate dead skin cells. 

I recommend it for our male counterparts as well. Ideally, it lifts hairs and exfoliates the skin prior to shaving to manage trapped hairs. Clean the face in a circular motion to dislodge the tips of ingrowns and clear follicles to allow hairs to surface.
