Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette

Hey everyone!  I recently picked up a few things at Sephora, including this Lolita Palette from Marc Jacobs' new beauty line.  The palette comes in 4 different color combinations, but this particular one has been getting quite a bit of buzz in the beauty community, so of course I had to try it out!



Aside from the great reviews, the packaging was what really sold me!  The sleek and sophisticated design of the palette practically had me drooling right then and there in Sephora.




Lolita comes with seven eyeshadows total- 3 are matte, while the other 4 have either a glitter or iridescent finish.  I found the colors to be beautiful and very wearable, but the palette did come with a $59.00 price tag.  However, if you break it down, it factors out to be a little over $8.00 per eyeshadow (reasonable right...right??).




After swatching the palette and playing around with it, I really think this will become a staple in my makeup collection.  The colors are so pretty and whimsical, and with the darker matte brown, you can create everything from a natural eye to a dark and sultry smokey eye!  It is truly a palette that can take your look from day to night.

All of the eyeshadows are smooth, creamy, and offer nice color payout.  However, if you are very light, like myself, a few of the colors might be better used as highlighters rather than eyeshadows.  You can see in my swatch below that two of the colors blend into my skin, adding a nice glow.  This isn't a problem for me, as I am always looking for a good inner eye and brow bone highlighter.





If you are looking to try something new, put down your beloved UD Naked Palette and try Lolita- you won't disappointed!
