Jeffree Star Cosmetics X Shane Dawson Conspiracy Palette

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!

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
