Mannequin + Rose Matter
Seriously, Jeffree Star needs to to STOP releasing new lippies. My pocketbook is feeling the pain…
Jeffree Star Cosmetics launched these two new colors on Wednesday, June 8th. My order shipped on Friday, June 10th and were in my mailbox by Monday, June 13th. His team is getting speedy.
I would have posted sooner, but I wanted to wear both shades for a day before writing…
“Mannequin” is a medium nude, a shade between “I’m Nude” and “Celebrity Skin”. It’s perfect for my skin tone – it looks my skin, but better.
“Rose Matter” is a rosy Flamingo coral on me. It doesn’t look quite the same as pictures I’ve seen online, but it looks like it belongs on me. It’s a bit similar to “Gemini”, but with cool undertones.
No more new colors for at least a month, Jeffree!
Veronica is a Gemini
It doesn’t matter how shitty today has been…My lips and nails match perfectly…
It turns out that Julep “Veronica” – modern mauve creme – is an almost perfect match to Jeffree Star Cosmetics “Gemini”. I had no idea…but I was looking for a “normal” polish to wear today, since I was meeting my new President and VP at work today. (Sometimes I pretend to be a regular person…shhhh, don’t tell.)
I used Julep Oxygen Bonding Base Coat. The first coat of “Veronica” was a bit streaky, but it improved with the second coat. The second coat had a few thin streaks, but nothing too horrible. It may be because this is a positively ancient polish – I got it as a freebie two years ago – and it was probably already a year old then. I finished with “HK Girl”.
I think I’m going to find polishes to match ALL of my Jeffree Star lippies…
Beauty Killer
It’s here…my precioussssss….
I didn’t get home until after 10 PM Saturday night, but the first thing I did was bust open that box and start smearing it all over my face. Beach hair, slightly sunburnt…still fabulous. I didn’t care that it was 4 AM in Scotland – I was sending Sally pics and videos. I will expect nothing less when she gets hers!
Launched on May 25th, I was lucky enough to get an order in for the first batch of Jeffree Star Cosmetics first eye shadow palette – “Beauty Killer” ($45). I was there at 12:00 sharp, with my finger on my phone.
Look at how BIG those shadow pans are. No other makeup company gives you that much shadow. And look at the color names – “Courtney”, “Black Rainbow”, “China White”…and they’re SO pigmented. I was able to apply “Rich Bitch” to my eyelids with just my fingers.
I also got one of Jeffree’s new Skin Frost Highlighters – “Ice Cold” ($29), a platinum lightning bolt across your face. I’m not exactly good at using highlighters, but I’m sure going to have fun trying.
I also couldn’t believe that “Rich Blood” was still in stock from it’s launch the week before…I snatched that sucker up! I also added “Prom Night”, because why not get free shipping? Over $100 = free shipping!
Oh…and Jeffree has two NEW lipstick shades launching on June 8th. “Mannequin” and “Rose Matter” will be mine…oh yes, they will be mine.
My First Jeffree Star
I feel like I am finally a real girl now…with real girl makeup! Jeffree Star Cosmetics is supposed to make the absolute BEST matte liquid lipstick on the market…sorry Kylie K. I had to see for myself.
Upon Sally’s highest recommendation, I set an alarm on my phone last Tuesday, so I could make it to Jeffree Star’s restock at 2PM CST. (His stuff is constantly out of stock, but he has been having weekly restocks). I ordered 2 Velour Liquid Lipsticks ($18) – “Celebrity Skin”, soft brown nude with a peachy undertone, and “Gemini”, terra-cotta warm-toned nude. They got here today…just 6 days.
As soon as I ripped open the box today…I had to gently set my lipsticks down and go to my son’s choir concert. AFTER the concert, I ran to the bathroom to apply “Celebrity Skin” while my husband cooked dinner. It went on smoothly, but I noticed an odd odor. it was…root beer! “Celebrity Skin” smells like a root beer float! It dried down almost immediately and wasn’t sticky at all. It even made it all the way through 2 avocado crab quesadillas – this is some good shit, man!
Although paying shipping costs causes me physical pain, I could find no way around it – $5.95. There’s another restock tomorrow…I’m so tempted.
Oh…and my fingernails match the bottles!
