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.

Perfume Power! - Vera Wang 'Rock Princess'

I received this perfume as a gift a couple of years ago, but I had heard about it before. The bottle design is the same as the previous Princess fragrances, but it has a rock twist. It has a darker theme, a black heart with silver patterns on the front. I actually really like the bottle design, that is what appealed to me the most, plus around the neck of the bottle you can remove the band and wear it as a ring. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Peach, Raspberry & Bergamot Middle Notes: Heliotrope, Rose, Jasmine & Lily Base Notes: Cashmere Wood, Musk, Iris & Coconut To me it doesn’t really smell of anything and what I can smell is very weak and watered down. It kind of smells a bit like sweet alcohol. Although it has quite a few fruits in it, I can’t really smell any of them; I can smell the floral scents and a hint of musk, but it is not overpowering and it doesn’t last long on the skin, unless you spray tons, but the fragrance is nothing special....
