As promised on Instagram, I am reviewing Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Lust for Lacquer lip vinyl.  These glosses come in sheer and “full,” with six shades each, in reds, pinks, browns and purples.  I was nervous about the fuller shades as I really don’t like bold colours on my lips.  However, because of the glossy nature […]
