Jeffree Star Cosmetics

I am reviewing some Jeffree Star Cosmetics products I recently picked up from BeautyBay.com. For those that don’t know, Jeffree Star is a Beauty YouTuber who has his own make-up brand. I have only recently become a fan and I can’t quite remember how! I like his make-up videos because they are honest and when he does tutorials it is like he is actually teaching you. I dislike the voiceover/quick cut edited tutorials most YouTubers create. He mostly uses really expensive high end products, but he is up front about it and it isn’t because he is snobby. I think he mentioned that he had some bad experiences with drugstore products when he first started out with make-up, so the higher end brands tended to be more quality made. As we all know, the quality of make-up has dramatically changed over the years, so he is gradually trying out more drugstore brands on his channel.

I have previously tried a Skin Frost™ in Peach Goddess. It was a good product, but it was wasted on me as I’m just not into highlighter, especially something that blinding! I prefer a more demure cream based highlighter if I actually decide to wear one. I gave it to my sister, who appreciates it a whole lot more than I did.

I decided to pick up Jeffree’s new palette (his version of a neutral palette) and one of his lipsticks. I liked the look of the first palette Beauty Killer™, but I knew I wouldn’t get a lot of use out of it as I am a neutral girl, but some of the shades are really appealing. I also tried to get a shade of lipstick that looked toned down, but still a pretty colour.
ANDROGYNY PALETTE
The packaging has a rectangular shape and is made of a hot pink leatherette material with a mock croc/repitle kind of pattern. It has the brand name and palette name printed in gold on the front and it has a gold border around the edges of the palette. On the back of the palette there is social media links printed in black. It has a magnetic open/close and once opened it reveals a mirror and the eyeshadows. The mirror has a card old fashioned rustic gold mirror design around it.
You get ten 2.5g eyeshadows in two different finishes; super matte and metallic. They also have the Jeffree Star logo pressed into the powder in the pans.
FROSTING - pale metallic gold
SAFE WORD - matte cool toned light brown
CHARM - warm matte burnt orange
DÉ JȦ VU - frosted antique brown with glitter
DOMINATRIX - warm matte chocolate brown
ANDROGYNY - matte plum/mauve purple hybrid
FETISH - deep metallic rusty red
MILITARY - matte military style green
POISON - matte teal green
SWALLOW - matte dark petrol blue

The eyeshadows should be extremely pigmented and the whole palette is vegan and cruelty free.
I really love this palette. I wasn’t sure I would get much use out of it, but the looks you can create are endless. The eyeshadows are all exceptionally pigmented and buttery. You do get a little fall out when you coat your make-up brush in the powders, but I get this with every powder eyeshadow I have ever tried, you simply tap the excess off. I still recommend a primer, no matter how pigmented an eyeshadow is. They all blend really well and I like the mixture of formulas. Another bonus is that the eyeshadow pans are slightly bigger than your average full sized eyeshadow, which means your favourite shade will last longer. I lover the packaging and my favourite shades are Frosting, Déjà Vu and Fetish. Overall I definitely recommend this palette.

LIP AMMUNITION™
The packaging is made of hot pink lightweight plastic and looks like a bullet. There is a mirrored rose gold tip on the cap. It also has gold printed detailing on it. You lift the cap off and then twist the base to reveal the lipstick.
I chose the shade Celebrity Skin, which is a soft neutral brown in a satin finish. There is also a Velour Liquid Lipstick available in the same shade. I love so many of the other shades, but realistically I wouldn’t wear them as I would be too scared too and I don’t think I could pull them off. I feel like you have to have the confidence in yourself, and well, I just don’t.
This lipstick should give you full coverage after one swipe, be extremely pigmented and smell of creamsicle ice-cream. This lipstick is also vegan and cruelty free.
It is a nice product and a nice shade, although I'm not sure it really suits me. The formula is very rich in pigment and it is smooth. It does have a scent which I can’t really describe and it isn’t really a scent that appeals to me. You do get full coverage after one swipe and there are a lot of colour options to choose from. I would recommend this lipstick.

Overall I have really enjoyed my experiences with this brand so far and I am looking forward to Jeffree’s new summer chrome collection which should be released very soon. Judging by some of the sneak peek pictures I have seen, the packaging looks rose gold and I can’t wait what he has created this time.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.
