Jeffree Star Princess Cut Skin Frost

In case you haven't noticed, I'm having a bit of a love affair with Jeffree Star Cosmetics. In particular, his recent Holiday Collection, of which the Skin Frost in the shade Princess Cut is a part. Jeffree claims that his Skin Frosts are the ultimate definition of 'highlight on fleek', so I've been wanting to try them for a while.
Princess Cut is a stunning icy pink shade.

The packaging is the typical JSC hot pink with rose gold stars. It's absolutely huge and feels really sturdy and substantial (that's what she said).
The highlighter itself is stunning, an icy pink with Jeffree's logo pressed into it. I used a fan brush to apply it, and at first it was more subtle than I was expecting. However, it is the most buildable highlighter formula that I've ever tried. It can be built up from a natural glow to absolutely blinding. It's also perfect for lighter skin tones, and outlasted all of my other highlighters throughout my usual workday.
I'm more than impressed with Princess Cut, and the Skin Frost formula.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics is available at Beauty Bay.

January Blues

These days I'm a neutral makeup kind of girl, I don't often use much colour. However, back in the day I loved colour, and got lots of use out of brightly coloured Urban Decay palettes. One of my favourite makeup looks was always a midnight blue smoky eye, there's something so sultry about it. So I created an updated version of it, and it rekindled my love for navy.

Jouer Snapdragon Long-Wear Lip Creme

Another day, another liquid lipstick. This time it's the cult favourite Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme in the shade Snapdragon. 





Snapdragon is a stunning cool toned plum in a metallic finish, the colour is really something special (you can see it on my lips here). The product is definitely a cream rather than a liquid, it has a much thicker consistency than Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipsticks. It has full opacity in one swipe and dries down to matte really quickly. I find it slightly more drying than some others I've tried, but certainly not too uncomfortable. The scent is quite strong, kind of like vanilla cupcakes, but it doesn't particularly bother me.  

When Jouer say this product is long wearing, they are not joking. This is by far the most waterproof lipstick formula I've ever tried. If you want a lip colour that will definitely not need to be touched up for your entire night out, look no further than Jouer. 
Jouer Lip Cremes are available at Cult Beauty
