I managed to get my hands on the new
JSC x Shane Dawson palette on launch day! It took a few hours to complete the
purchase online, but I didn’t give up. I have been following the journey of the
creation of the whole collection on YouTube and everything is eye catching. I
decided to only pick up the main palette this time; I usually buy at least one
liquid lipstick from every JSC collection launch.
Also available from the collection was
the Mini Controversy Palette. I really love the shades Controversy and My
Apology from the palette, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of the other
shades, which is why I decided against purchasing it. There are also six velour
liquid lipsticks (none of the shades appealed to me), pig mirrors, make-up
bags/cases, clear version of the gloss and a lip balm. I believe the lip balm
is only available in the USA. You can buy the products in bundles or buy the
items separately.
The packaging of the Conspiracy Palette
slightly resembles the case designs of the Blood Sugar and Blue Blood Palettes.
It has a rectangular shape and it is made out of black cardboard. The lid has a
sort of domed effect where there is a plastic triangle disc in the centre with
Shane Dawson’s logo. The name of the palette is printed in bold white lettering
across the palette. There are two black metal clips down one side of the
palette that you flip up to be able to lift up the lid of the palette. Inside
there is a mirror on the reverse side of the lid and there are eighteen
eyeshadow pans spread across a black base with the shade names in a clear white
font. You can purchase this palette for £48.00 from BeautyBay.com and
JeffreeStarCosmetics.com.
You get eighteen 1.50g eyeshadows in
Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Foil (F) finishes.

The eyeshadows should be buttery soft,
immensely pigmented and extremely easy to blend. This palette is also vegan and
cruelty-free, as is Jeffree Star Cosmetics as a whole brand. The following
shades are not recommended for use around the immediate eye area: Cheese
Dust, Sleep Paralysis, Food Videos, My Pills, Trisha, Not A Fact, Flaming Hot
and Pig-Ment.
This palette is great, but I am not as
excited over it as I thought I would be! The quality is perfection, the
eyeshadows are buttery soft, blend like a dream and the pigmentation is most
definitely there. You get a little kick back in the pans as they are powder
eyeshadows/pigments, the only shade that really gave me noticeable fall out on
my face was Trisha. The imprints in the pans are cute and the overall packaging is unique. You can also use some of the shades as bronzer/contour, blush and highlight. The colour story
just doesn’t make sense to me and it doesn’t feel cohesive. I struggled for
inspiration on what looks to do with it and I quickly realised that after
testing it, I most likely wouldn’t use it again! The shades are lovely, but
they don’t really all go together, a lot of the shades feel dark/grungy (which
isn’t really my aesthetic at the moment). Overall, I liked this palette, but it
doesn’t have the same sort of magic that the other JSC palettes have. I would
recommend it if you are very creative with your looks, if you are a beginner or
amateur like me, I would steer clear. You will notice soon that I decided to
declutter this palette from my collection!
