Jeffree Star - Beauty Killer

 

Hello loves!

I've owned this palette for a while but have only just started using it recently. There is always some kind of drama surrounding Jeffree Star. I don't like him as a person but I truly believe if you go digging into anyone/any brand you are bound to find out something you don't like so if I like the products chances are I'll keep purchasing them.

I didn't purchase this, I won it in an Instagram giveaway. I never win anything so I was super excited, not to mention being Canadian ordering anything of Jeffree's site is a no no. The shipping & exchange are outrageous.

Beauty Killer contains 10 shades, 3 of which are mattes. This is not a palette for neutral lovers as there are only 3 really "neutral" shades. When I first looked at it I had an extremely difficult time trying to create a natural look for work which is why I hadn't really used it. I've taken to using it for nights out or on the weekends when the color scheme is more appropriate.

A couple of the shades have a really dry texture including Star Power, Expensive and Vanity. Despite the dryness I didn't struggle when using them on the eyes. I found all the shadows applied quite pigmented but when blending some colors almost blended away which left me constantly re applying the shadow to build color. Not a quality I'm looking for in my eye shadows. The packaging is like many others on the market, it's housed in pink cardboard and contains a huge mirror inside which is always a nice touch.

Beauty Killer is an average palette with okay shades, it didn't wow me like I thought it would and I'm happy I didn't use my own money to purchase it.

The Lipstick Tag

1. How many lipsticks do you own?

I included all my lip products in this and I had 65....oops. I might have a light obsession. 

2. What was the first lipstick you owned?

My first lipstick was either Enchantress by COVERGIRL which is a shimmery barbie pink, very bright or Hot Passion, also by COVERGIRL which is a bold blue toned red. I think I might have picked these up at the same time actually but I was in about grade eleven when I purchased these. I was a little late to the makeup party.

3. What is your favourite lipstick brand?

I love to try new lip products, be it a lipstick, liquid lipstick, lip balm, lip gloss so on and so forth. I don't have a favorite brand so I will give you the brands I have the most products from for both high end and low end. MAC lipsticks are a large portion of my collection, I wouldn't say MAC is super luxurious but they aren't exactly cheap either. The Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipsticks by Rimmel are my most purchased drugstore lipsticks and for good reason. These are $6.99 CAD and are amazing! If you've never had one I would highly suggest purchasing one.

4. What is your most worn lipstick?

This is going to sound so OCD, but because I own so many lipsticks I go through a rotation to try and get use out of all of them. It irks me when people have mountains of products and 90% of them sit there unused for years. What is the point of having so much if you can't even use it? 

5. What is your favourite finish?

Matte, hands down. I'd say 95% of my lipsticks are matte or semi-matte.

6. What was the last lipstick you bought? 

font-family: inherit;">The last lipstick I purchased was a Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade Outlaw, a very bold red. If you hadn't noticed yet I really love reds. ♥

7. How many lip products do you currently have in your bag? 

Just one... wait just one? You guys this is a miracle I never have only one product in my bag and believe it or not it's not a lipstick of any sorts it's my holy grail lip balm the Blistex Lip Medex.

8. What is your favourite red lip colour?

This is not an easy one for me to answer. I'd say my favorite red that I own is MAC's Russian Red. It's stunning, it reminds me of an old classic Hollywood lip. Absolutely love this. A red I'm coveting is Jeffree Stars Velour liquid lipstick in the shade "Red Rum" *heart eyes*

9. How do you store your lipsticks?

They are stored in a three drawer bin. They actually all fit in one drawer though.  

10. Which lipsticks are you currently lusting after?

I'm lusting after various shades of the Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks, I only own one but his colors and the formula are perfect. Even though I've heard so many mixed reviews I would like to try Candy K by Kylie Cosmetics.

Let me know if you do this tag and drop it down below because I'd love to read them!

Beauty Bay - Christmas List

Hello loves!

Beauty Bay has a great contest going on for affiliates at the moment!

To enter you had to either create a post about their "All Made Up Bags" which are curated collections by Beauty Bay. The other way to enter was to create your ultimate Christmas Wish List from the Christmas Shop.

I opted to create a wish list because you know Christmas is coming, this could come in handy when your family starts asking you what you want, I really enjoy doing posts like these as well as reading others. I'm a tad snoopy and like to see what other people are coveting, just me?

Here's what I'm hoping to receive under the tree this year;

Spectrum Glam Clam - You guys, look at how cute this is! I've never owned anything from Spectrum but that packaging is too cute to resist. I love the fun & bright colors! I've not heard much about the quality but at a pricey $92.40 CAD I would hope they are of a high standard.

Coloured Raine Matte Liquid Lip Paint : I've heard nothing but good things about the Coloured Raine liquid lipsticks. Being the lip product junkie that I am of course these would be on the list. I'd love to have one in the shade "Cherry Blossom" It's almost like a pink burgundy lip.

Viseart Palette : Another cheeky one as it's more on the pricey side. Everyone and their mother raves about the Viseart palettes. This one is the one I'd pick up if I were to splurge as I love my neutrals. I'm quite drawn to the third row of shades.

Jeffree Star Beauty Killer: I'm trying to win this on an Instagram giveaway right now, keep your fingers crossed for me =) I know I just said how I love my neutrals but we could all use a little color now and again. The pigmentation I've seen from this in tutorials & swatches is gorgeous which is only making me want it more.

Nugg Face Masks: I think these would make a great stocking stuffer! I've never tried the Nugg face masks but they've been hyped up from the posts I've read. At only $20 CAD for four they won't break the bank either.

Manny MUA Palette: I seem to have a theme in this wishlist with lip products and eye shadow palettes, oops. For nine shades this is very pricey for Canadians like me but my god the color scheme is to die for. That bottom cranberry shade is gorgeous! I've been using cranberry shades a lot in my crease lately.

Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick: Last but not least another Jeffree Star product, I do already own one of these in the shade "Blow Pony" but after seeing that "Androgyny" is in stock on Beauty Bay I might just end up purchasing it for myself. I can still treat myself at Christmas right? I'm a tad choked that these sell for $23.10 CAD on Beauty Bay as I ended up paying $40 after the exchange rate & shipping through Jeffree's website.

Go check out the Beauty Bay Christmas Shop for more products!

Let me know what you guys are lusting after this Christmas
