Marc Jacobs Beauty released a Coconut themed Summer 2017 collection and once I saw images surface online, I excitedly anticipated its release which features beautiful white packaging. The collection includes a highlighter, bronzer and limited edition bronzer brush in white LE packaging along with a Coconut Mist for the face in addition to their Coconut Primer which I already love.
First up is the O! Mega Bronze Coconut Perfect Tan in Tan-Tastic $49, available at Sephora here. This is a flattering matte bronzer that I think would work best on light to medium skin tones though its described as universally flattering. It is a shade that is not to warm nor cool and provides a beautiful all over warmth for the face. It is deliciously coconut scented and in addition to loving the white LE packaging, I am in love with the fact that you get 25g worth of product! Definitely a lot of bang for your buck. The Marc Jacobs Beauty Bronzer Brush, No. !2, $78 available here, is a perfect addition to the collection. It’s soft, luxe, and has a nice weighty luxurious feel to it. I do have the original brush in the black packaging which I have come to really enjoy and love, and I waited for the Sephora Spring sale to snatch this one up.
The Marc Jacobs Beauty Under Cover Perfecting Coconut Primer, $44 is a primer that I have previously reviewed on my blog. It is great for people with normal to dry skin and is infused with five different forms of coconut to nourish and hydrate the skin. Read my full review here.
The Marc Jacobs Beauty Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter in Dew You?, $44, available here is a gorgeous golden peach highlighter that can be mixed with your favorite foundation or primer or applied directly to the face and body. It’s beautifully pigmented and once sheered out it provides the most gorgeous, natural and radiant glow. It also smells amazing with a light coconut scent that is not overpowering whatsoever. I prefer to wear it alone and apply it directly to my face on the high points of my cheekbones. I can blend it easily with my fingers and using it with a damp sponge helps to provide a more natural, subtle glowy finish.
Finally, the Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Mist, $39 is a makeup setting mist that helps to not only lock in makeup but provide a luminous dewy glow for the face. The nozzle is a little tricky at first. The first time I sprayed it, it didn’t seem spray evenly. You have to make sure to press the nozzle down completely for the fine mist. It contains 5 coconut actives that makes it very hydrating and refreshing every time I use it. It helps to keep my makeup looking fresh and I do enjoy the luminous finish it provides.
Final thoughts: I am smitten with everything from the Marc Jacobs Beauty Summer Coconut Collection. I love the white packaging, the deliciously coconut scented products as well as the performance and color payoff of the products. If you are wondering what I think is the star of the collection and the one thing that you should pick up, it’s the O! Mega Bronze Coconut Perfect Tan in Tan-Tastic! You are getting a lot of bang for your buck for this item. It was sold out numerous times when it first launched and it’s currently available at Sephora now. You can also find the find the products on Marcjacobsbeauty.com.
