Marc Jacobs Highliner Review

January 12, 2018January 11, 2018by LauraWhittleMUALeave a Comment

I was lucky enough to qualify for the Marc Jacobs Beauty VoxBox from Influenster and John Lewis and I was not disappointed.

This was the first Voxbox I qualified for and I felt like a child when the box arrived.

I received 2 shades, (Pop)ular & Over(night).

(Pop)ular is a dark pink shade which matches my current hair very well! The packaging is sleek and luxurious and the pencils are slim, with a twist design so no need to hunt for the sharpener! (Hallelujah). The formula is really creamy, easy to apply and doesn’t smear or run, I rubbed my eyes, sweated at the gym and it survived it all!

My ultimate favourite eyeliner has now changed to the Over(night) shade. A deep blue with the same creamy texture and is also gym proof. I now prefer this to black liner and it feels so nice!

With 12 shades to choose from, easy application, luxury formula and packaging they are definitely worth £20 each!

They are a new kit staple cannot wait to use them more and collect more shades 💋

Saturday 17th June 2017 – returning to the dark side.

A few weeks ago I woke up and thought I need to dye my hair – I do have these impulsive moments and I usually end up on some spontaneous trip somewhere last time it was for a piercing.

I decided I wanted to return to the dark side after a very long hiatus from the hair dye. I had spent the past 3 years maybe a bit longer letting my hair be healthy and dye free and grow without as much damage. A couple of months before this thought I had another spontaneous moment and got the right side of my hair shaved into an undercut! (Britney Spears moment – pre-break up).

So on this thought of going brunette I messaged my hair dresser, Michelle, of about 20 years and asked whether it was a good plan and she encouraged me to go buy the dark brown casting creme gloss by L’oreal as it’s semi-permanent and it keeps your hair in good condition. Whilst in Newcastle I popped into Asda and it was on offer £5 per box I needed two.

I returned to Leeds after the weekend away and ensured I completed a patch test ready for the next weekend when I was heading back home to Grimsby/Cleethorpes. Saturday 17th I rocked up at 4pm to my hairdressers; boiling in the heatwave, boxes in hand and she applied it for me (if i did it myself it would be patchy -i’m not good). 1 hour later the transformation was complete!

The colour had taken better than either of us imagined it would have done and it was pretty much black – being-semi permanent it is now a super dark brown after a few washes. But I love the change. My blue eyes stand out more with dark hair. I couldn’t recommend the L’oreal Casting Creme Gloss more, my hair is still in amazing condition and although the colour went black at first it is now a dark brown as stated on the box!

When your friend creates a glitter company and advertises for models and your blog is Glitter Makes It Better was there ever going to be a more perfect collaboration?

Well Sunday 25th June 2017, was the day myself and five other girls got to prance around in swimwear and festival fashion coated in fabulous glitter creations and white henna tattoos whilst sipping on prosecco and snacking on pizza.

The best thing about Glitter Gods is that they apply glitter using a natural gel with no harmful chemicals so its perfect even for the most sensitive skin (like mine).
