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.

The following shades are Pressed Pigments and are not intended for use around the immediate eye area; Bubble Gum, Licorice, Fuck, Gum Drop, Snack, And What?, Orange Juice, Suck, Cotton Candy, Bite Me and Cherry Wet. Pressed pigments can cause temporary staining to the area of skin they are applied to. It also states that a shade called Dark Red is also not recommended for use around the immediate eye area, but there is no such shade with that name in the palette!

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.

This palette is amazing! The packaging is not too oversized and is more compact than other JSC palettes. You also have all the colours you need for a beautiful summer look. The eyeshadows are immensely pigmented and incredibly soft. The mattes are easy to blend and all the shades apply like a dream. You obviously get a little kick-back in the pans and you only get fallout from the extreme metallic shades. You can use the metallic shades wet for more intensity and it may help with the fallout issue as they will be less loose. I always recommend eye primer and glitter glue. The metallics are best applied with your finger, but you can use a stiff flat synthetic brush if you’d rather. My only issues with the palette are that the colour story is lovely, but also kind of random. You definitely have to be quite creative to make use of all of the shades. I am also slightly put off wearing some of the metallic shades as I did get extreme fallout throughout the day from Cotton Candy. When I cleaned up the fallout, it happened again later on in the day! I’m not sure if I used glitter glue with that shade, so that would be a must to apply when I next wear that shade. My favourite shades are Snack, Orange Juice and Lemon Drop. Overall I do really love this palette and it is great for experimenting with.

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #2 - June 2020

I decided to re-subscribe to the LookFantastic Beauty Box and I pre-ordered my June box on 22 nd May. It arrived yesterday (3 rd June) and I couldn’t wait to unbox it. My first and last LF Beauty Box was September 2014; I can’t believe it has nearly been six years! I initially un-subscribed due to the price (£15.00) and I mostly received skin care items and at the time, I was only really interested in make-up. I already saw a sneak peek for the June box (Staycation Edition), which is why I re-subscribed (the May box was sold out anyway). It was to supposed to be worth over £61.00 and the items would arrive in a travel bag. I knew I would receive a shower gel and possibly a hair brush as they were pictured. The postage for Look Fantastic is usually £2.95, but I believe it is free for Beauty Box subscriptions only. Here is what I received:- LookFantastic Beauty Bag | £12.00 | This is a cute aqua blue zipped travel bag, which contains the rest of the beauty products. ...

Serial Sampler #34

I’ve had this sample for a while now and I’ve only just decided to test it. I also have another sample of a spin-off scent from the same fragrance line, which I will post soon. It is Candy by PRADA and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ Prada Candy combines exceptionally high-quality ingredients in excessive proportions. Magnified by musks, noble benzoin comes together with a modern caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature ” Launched: 2011 Type: Oriental Vanilla Notes Top: Caramel. Middle: Musk and Powder. Base: Benzoin and Vanilla. I wasn’t expecting to like this fragrance when I looked at the notes and I was right! It smells kind of woody (burnt wood) and like celery. It is most definitely a spicy oriental scent and it is not me at all. It is quite strong, but it isn’t overpowering. I would say it is a unisex scent as it isn’t sweet. With a name like Candy, I was expecting some sweetness. There is the Caramel note whi...

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...
