REVIEW: Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick in Leila

Marc Jacobs Beauty Twinkle Pop Eye Stick in Leila 416, natural light

Leila 416 swatched, natural light.

So I was super excited a few months ago when Marc Jacobs Beauty came out with the Twinkle Pop eye stick line. I love the MJB Genius Gel Foundation, so I was eager to try another item from that brand. Sadly, I was disappointed.

This is a cream shadow stick, much like those from Bobbi Brown or Laura Mercier, and this color, Leila, is described as a "rose copper shimmer," which is really not accurate. When applied, this shadow stick is slippery and gel-like in texture, and almost feels cool to the touch. The color comes off not as the rose copper shimmer I was hoping for, but a rust color with chunky glitter and spotty pigmentation. It cannot be blended without becoming more patchy, and will transfer to the browbone if you blink a little too much before it is completely set. Unfortunately, I will be returning this to Sephora. DO NOT TRY AND USE THIS AS A WATERLINER OR EYE PENCIL. I did this, and the pain that ensued instantaneously was so extreme, I had to flush my eyes with water for a good five minutes, until I could regain my vision.

This product is also expensive. At 28 dollars a pop, this twinkle isn't worth the eye infection.
