Marc Jacobs Beauty Products

Marc Jacobs, a brand in the fashion industry that we all know and love, was created by famous fashion designer Marc Jacobs. The company is known for many things- bags, wallets, scarfs, etc. However, more recently the company launched their own makeup brand. The products range from eyes to lips with numerous palates and colors. Just how we fell in love with our Marc Jacobs bags and wallets, we fell in love with the makeup.

The Lovemarc Lip Gels and Lacquer Lips are two of our favorite products from the Marc Jacob's makeup line. The texture is creamy and velvety, leaving a soft feeling when put on your lips. Additionally, the wide range of colors is a plus. From deep purples to light pinks and oranges, the colors give a pop to any lip. The formula is generally long lasting but I would still throw the lipstick in your bag when you leave the house in order to reapply throughout the day. Although the lipsticks are pricey, they are worth it considering the enjoyable texture and variety in color.

Perfection Powder - Featherweight Finish in 100 Finish Line

The Marc Jacobs Perfection Powder is an amazing powder for setting makeup. All you need is a swirl in the powder with your brush and dust it all over your face and you will be ready to take on the day without your make up smudging. However, you don't need to use a lot of this powder otherwise it will leave a white cast over your face- something no one using make up wants. So while it is a good powder- don't over use it. Concerning the packaging, it is not our favorite. The entire powder fell out of the packaging after packing it away for a trip. Luckily, the powder was still intact and usable yet I would have preferred to avoid the mess altogether.

The Marc Jacobs O!Mega Lash Volumizing Mascara is probably one of the best mascaras I have ever used. It not only separates your lashes but gives them volume creating a perfect everyday laid back look.  Both the wand and formula make this a holy grail product! The Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon is incredibly pigmented and glides right on, the formula is also super creamy. A plus to the liner is that it is a twist up which means no sharpening!

Dinner Date Anyone? | Momoya Review

Yesterday, the two of us went to a Japanese restaurant by the name of Momoya on the upper west side. Although it's not the fanciest of places we decided to throw together a dressier ensemble because who doesn't like to dress up every once and a while. 

When going out to dinner with friends, whatever your dress up in you want to feel comfy and confident, with that a perfect pair of wedges gives you the perfect combination of comfy and confident. We all have that one bottom that we never get to wear a lot because it's too dressy for school or work, so why not wear it out to dinner with a simple top to caus' down the outfit. 

Francesca is wearing a black butterfly back top with capped sleeves from Aritzia and a white skort also from Artitzia. To tie back into the black top, she wore black suede wedges from Charles David. The wedges give Francesca the height and comfort a pair of thin heeled sandals would.

Momoya was definitely one of the better Japanese restaurants we have been to. The service was good and the waiters were very attentive. We were placed in a circular booth, which meant we were on the same side of the table, but it was comfortable, however the tables were a bit close together so we could easily hear the table next to us conversation. But, that wasn't really an issue and we had a very enjoyable time. There were booths that were a bit more secluded which we would've preferred. The food was set up beautifully and considering it was a higher end Japanese restaurant- the prices were reasonably priced. Overall, we would- and plan- on going back to Momoya.
