Sephora + Pantone Universe Pure Marsala Matte Lip Creme & Facets of Marsala Multi-Finish Eye Palette

January 2, 2015

The Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year is Marsala and there are some beautiful options for lips, cheeks and eyes that have been released. In this year’s color collection we have:
I have two items to share with you today (and a giveaway too!). First up is the Pure Marsala Matte Lip Creme. This is a full coverage cream lipstick. It’s labeled as a matte finish color but I didn’t find it to be a true matte. It has a creamy feel with a slight sheen making it look more plush than a pure matte. This is the first Sephora branded lipstick I’ve tried and I found the pigment and coverage phenomenal. There’s no added fragrance although it does have a slight lipstick scent. On me it’s a dark pink wine color but not so dark that it’s a vamp shade. It is darker than what I am normally used to wearing but I found the color naturally flattering. If you want a darker lip but don’t want something quite as dramatic as a vampy shade, this is a good in between transition color. Texture is very smooth and glides on the lips easily. I found lasting power to be very good.

Here it is swatched with two swipes each lip, I found that if you layer it with a few more swipes, you can get a deeper more pigmented/vampy dark lip look:

A few comparisons to other shades (previous reviews are linked):

Charlotte Tilbury Stoned Rose (review soon)

Next up is the Facets of Marsala Multi-Finish Eye Palette. This is an impressive palette with 24 pigmented shades. The focus is primarily on reddish burgundy shades, but there is a good mix of others in the palette to coordinate with the reds. The colors in this palette are very much outside of my comfort zone although during makeovers artists often like to use warmer sable shades or wine shades on my eyes layered to warm up the entire look. I’ve experimented with some (like the wine shimmers from Le Metier de Beaute Kaleidoscopes) but use the color in small doses. This palette has a wide range of finishes and textures. Most of mattes are good if used as a liner or smokey eye, some of the textures of the mattes are a bit chalky if you try to use them all over the lid. I think they are best layered for added depth or as a liner. The shimmers range from glitter to finely milled shimmer to chunky sparkle. There are a few finely milled shimmers that have a very smooth easy to blend texture. Some of the chunkier shimmers have fallout when you apply them, but I found they did adhere ok to the lids once they were on the eyes. The glitters weren’t my favorite (I’m not a fan of glitter eyeshadows in general), but I’m still experimenting with them.  I think performance and quality does varies per shade.

Colors are swatched by row:

  • Autumn Blonde is a pale matte bone colored base with silver glitters, this one was very powdery and chalky on my skin
  • Toasted Nut is a shimmering pumpkin color, it has a medium-to-high frost with a smooth texture
  • Marsala Matte is a pigmented matte red wine color
  • Marsala Satin is a pigmented semi-matte/semi-shimmer red wine
  • Shifting Sand is a chunky silver with a high frost, there was fallout when applying this shade, but once it’s on the lids it stays put
  • Cocoa Brown is a satiny cool brown with a slight sheen

  • Burro is a neutral cool satiny matte color, it has a slight sheen but on the eyes goes on matte
  • Deep Taupe is a cool-toned bark brown that looks more blue on my skin
  • Marsala Metallic is a shimmering red wine, it has a smooth texture, I found it easy to blend and layer with other eyeshadow shades
  • Marsala Glitter is a red wine with red and silver tiny glitters
  • Kelp is a warm olive gold metallic, it has finely milled shimmer
  • Dusty Olive is a darker metallic olive, it also has good pigment and finely milled shimmer

  • Desert Mist is a highly frosted buttercream gold
  • Butterum is a medium golden copper metallic sparkle
  • Macaroon is a satiny tan with a hint of camel and pink
  • Chutney is a reddish matte red
  • Nimbus Cloud is a chunky cool-toned silvery white sparkle
  • Moonlight Blue is a sheer glittering blue, you can get more pigment if you layer it with a damp brush or over a liner but alone it’s pretty sheer

The last row of colors includes my favorites in the palette:

  • Carob Brown is a satiny medium-warm brown, it’s primarily a matte but has a slightly reflective quality when layered and swatched in a large area
  • Bracken is a dark chocolate cool brown base with gold shimmer loaded into it
  • Russet is a warm matte brown, this also looks satiny because of the flash, but it performs like a matte
  • Hot Chocolate is a warm reddish brown matte
  • Castor Grey is a duo-chrome metallic similar in concept to MAC Club Eyeshadow
  • Red Mahogany is a matte plum red brown

I’m really pleased with the quality, pigment and color of the Marsala Lip Creme. It works just like a lipstick should. I think the Eyeshadow Palette is a good value set that will offer a diverse range of colors, textures and finishes. There are a lot of different looks that that you can create with the 24 shades. The quality of the shadows is mixed, but overall it’s a good palette. Color-wise, I’m almost exclusively a neutral eyeshadow wearer but I’ve played with this for a week now and found that I can use some of the reds layered with the cooler-toned shades and it’s very wearable. If you’re at a Sephora store, I definitely recommend you giving this a look.

For the other Marsala beauty items, I’ve played with the lip crayons and blush palette. There are a number of spring releases trickling in stores now so I’m waiting to see other items before purchasing, but the blush palette is seriously tempting me.

    this collection is beautiful! my most recent purchase from sephora was actually an online order that was delivered today. i recived the marsala layering lip collection, cheek palette, and mascara/brow highlighter. i'm already in love! i thought perhaps the straight marsala lippie that you reviewed may be too intense for me, but after having played with the color in the layering lip collection, i have to agree that it is magnificent! it is so flattering with my naturally copper red hair. i must have the matte lipstick and eye palette, now!

    I just made a stop at Sephora yesterday! I picked up a Glam Glow mask (in the white jar). Darn oily skin! A NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna, a Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in the color Patina, a Lancome Definicils mascara (I haven't used Lancome or this mascara in years, but I have not been happy lately with my Chanel Le Volume mascara lately), and lastly 3 of the Sephora Brand Rose Sheet Masks. During the VIB Sale, I picked up a pack that had 6 different sheets masks to try and the Rose was my favorite – I noticed a difference the next morning in brightness and clarity. I have a feeling there will be a bevy of sheet masks in the year ahead for me to try! I really like them! 🙂

I like that you can produce various different styles and looks with the colours. Ultimate palette and would love to try them. Roxanne xo

  • Dlori January 3, 2015 at 3:19 pm

    The last item I purchased from Sephora was the Dior Palette in the color Trafalger. At first glance, I couldn't figure out how the colors would work for me. But then I started playing around, putting one color over the other, layering them, like how the le metier palettes are supposed to be applied, and the final color was absolutely gorgeous. Also, by layering the colors, you'll never get the exact same color each time so you'll always have variations of color which I find interesting. Thank you for doing this giveaway and good luck to all.

    At first I wasn't thrilled with Marsala, but after looking at several ideas, I realized just how very drawn to this color I am. Marsala really plays well with my coloring, and in the summer, (even with sunblock) when I get a bit of a tan, it really looks great.

  • bdisimone January 5, 2015 at 4:47 am

    zoya nail polish remover

  • Yanisa Allison January 5, 2015 at 4:50 am

    Marsala is a very unique color, quite hard to describe! I've been looking for a color like that for the past 6 months, so glad that they made this!

    I actually just made a stop to Sephora today and bought the Bareskin foundation serum by BareMinerals 🙂

  • Shelley Polarbelle January 5, 2015 at 6:02 am

    The last thing I bought from Sephora was the Marsala lipstick. Seeing your swatch, I'm glad I did. I also bought a ten over ten nail polish that was suggested and a Make Up Forever lip pencil, also suggested for Marsala.

  • Elizabeth February January 5, 2015 at 6:18 am

    I believe that Marsala will be the color of the year 2015. and I m so in love with that color since 4 months ago. and I cant wait to play with this palette and will post my review video on youtube soon. 😉

    Hello! The last thing I bought from Sephora was the Too Faced Cat Eye palette. Love! Thank-you for this generous chance!

  • impekkable January 5, 2015 at 1:25 pm

    I find the lipstick a bit too brown, would have liked it to be more wine/burgundy or pink-red.
    Wish there were more orange, pink, brown and burgundy shades in the eye palette, was very excited about that, but, like you said, the last row was the most interesting.

  • Anonymous January 5, 2015 at 1:39 pm

    I don't usually shop at Sephora, just because it is a bit pricey for me, but a few months ago I bought a mascara from them. It works really well.

  • Toria Mason January 5, 2015 at 11:12 pm

    Unfortunately Sephora is too high-end for my budget (which is sad, because everything always look so nice). I haven't actually been gung-ho for Marsala, it's lovely, it just hasn't wow'ed me, but these products look really wonderful and gorgeous shades!
