Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Sticks Review

I've had the Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick in Volver for quite a while. I love the formula so much that I decided to pick up the shades Shoshanna and On the Verge at the last Sephora VIB sale.

Volver is described as a "peach champagne shimmer". It's a gorgeous "one and done" eyeshadow color. It's the easiest of the three shades that I have because it's a light neutral. I use this on days when I'm running late or just feeling lazy. It brightens up the eye area and then you can add eyeliner or just put on mascara and a bright lip and go. Here's what it looks like on.

On the Verge is also gorgeous and easy to wear. It is described as an "iced grape". It's nice when you want a bit of color, but nothing too over the top.

Shoshanna packs a bit more punch in the color department. It's described as a "teal mermaid shimmer". It's also lovely, but since it is more pigmented I tried wearing it both as an all over color and also just as a liner. Here's what it looks like all over the lid.

Here's what it looks like used as liner on the upper lashline.

All three shades wear all day on me without creasing. They don't have any scent, but they do cause a cooling sensation when applied, which I don't mind. I have heard of some people having issues with getting the product in their eye and having lots of irritation. I haven't had that problem, but I've been really careful and haven't used it on my lower lash line.

The packaging is tasteful and stylish, of course, since it's Marc Jacobs. The box is black and white.

Here are the ingredients.

The eye sticks themselves are in a silver tube with a lid that looks like a pencil tip.

The product swivels up like a lipstick and has a slanted tip. (L to R:  Shoshanna, On the Verge and Volver.)

Here are swatches of all three shades that I got. The shades from top to bottom in each shot are Shoshanna, On the Verge and Volver.

I love all three shades, but I would say that Volver and On the Verge are the most wearable. I'm not in the mood for a mermaid teal every day, but sometimes you just need something bright and Shoshanna delivers a pop of color! (Does anyone else think of Shosh from "Girls" when you see the shade name "Shoshanna?)

One thing to note about these is that they are a bit soft. I have used too much pressure and ended up smashing off the angled tip. So my Volver is kind of mushed on the tip! (It's still totally useable, though, just not so angled.) So just be careful.

These are a bit expensive at 28 bucks a pop (or should I say "twinkle pop"?), but they are a dream to apply and look so pretty on. There are a handful of other shades, but I don't think I'll get any more right now. However, when the next Sephora sale rolls around, I've got my eye on Honey Bunny and Au Revoir!
