Lord have mercy! What's up everybody! Welcome back to my channel.
And if you're new, hi, what's up! If you've never seen me before,
pause this video, do a quick Google search and either start jacking off
or run for the hills, ho.
But anyway, we're about to dive into my January favorites but we have a little bit of a twist today.
Now listen, it's 2017, it is a brand new year,
and I always get requests to put in products that I also didn't love in my videos.
And I've kind of stayed away from that, because I feel like with me especially,
it's that fine line of everyone always wants to make a circus out of every opinion I have.
I think because maybe I have my own brand I'm not allowed to speak on certain things,
or that's what some people like to let me know.
But listen, at the end of the day, I'm a make-up lover,
I buy so much make-up each month and I try out so many products.
I'm gonna start putting in products that I don't love.
So, I think for the new year, this is gonna be the JANUARY HOLY GRAILS AND FAILS.
So, I think we should just dive in and I'm gonna basically just tell you guys
all my favorite products that I've been loving over the last month
and then a few that didn't really work for me.
But January was a crazy month for me.
You guys all know that I was in Paris for Men’s Fashion Week.
We filmed a little travel vlog.
Now, me and Nathan got really sick on our trip so we kind of had to cut it short.
But we filmed a lot of really cool stuff and we also have filmed Nathan getting a tattoo.
And we also just did IMATS which is a make-up convention so we kind of combined it all
and that video will be coming later this week, so watch out for it on my channel.
Now, besides that you guys, let's just dive right into it.
Alright, my first Holy Grail is from the brand Stila.
Now, these are the Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadows.
Whew, I'm winded, bitch. Now, I'm wearing this on my lid today.
I wore it in a few videos already in the GET READY IN MY ROLLS ROYCE featuring Nikita.
I wore the gold one. Now listen, I have been wearing these every single day.
There are a lot of colors so besides these two, which I know you guys are all going to be like,
"What is on your lid?" This shade is called Rose Gold Retro.
It is so stunning and these are really easy to play with because they're literally liquid glitter in a bottle.
Let's just swatch my hand right here.
Oh, are you kidding me? They dry really instantly, there is full coverage.
A lot of these glitter items from other brands, you kind of swipe it and it's like chunky,
it's watery, it's not amazing. Somehow Stila perfected this formula
and the good news is there are a lot of other colors.
So they have like this crazy purple, they have a black with gold glitter inside of it,
and of course, they have a pure gold which I've worn before. These are just really good for,
even you don't want to wear all this eye make-up you can literally just throw some glitter on the lid,
a little orange in the crease and a lash and you're ready to fucking slay, baby.
So, these are definitely gonna be worn down all year and hopefully they release more colors.
Let's move on to some foundation.
I know a lot of you are gonna be a little shook that I'm including an amazing drugstore brand in my favorites.
But yes, the new Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation is so unreal.
Now, last month I did a little battle of the foundations
and I put this up against a crazy luxury brand and this one really sold the show.
And I'm like, "Listen, for $5.95, if something can be beautiful,
flawless and have a great finish, I think we have a winner.
So, Wet n Wild, I feel like, I don't know if they've been stepping it up,
but to me they definitely have.
I know a lot of people are like, "Jeffree , they've always been great."
But I remember like back in the day in high school I tried it and i was like, no.
But, fast forward to 2016, I used a lot of Wet n Wild stuff,
they had some of the bombest highlighters of last year and they're affordable, which I think is amazing.
So, a lot of you got to see this put to the test.
If you missed it, I will link it down below.
But this foundation, you guys, it blends beautiful, it is just amazing.
If you like a really nice matte mannequin finish, definitely you should try this out.
This Sisley Double Tenseur Primer, I think I'm saying it wrong. T-E-N-S-E-U-R. Y'all,
I ain't French, okay, so someone help me out.
I always get read the filth for mispronouncing things but anyway,
I reviewed this again a few months ago and it was amazing.
Let me just say that first, like right off the bat, it was amazing.
But then it kind of sat on the shelf for a minute because, you know, 50 other primers came out.
So, I revisited this all of last month.
Everywhere I travelled I brought this and it is so sickening.
The price is a little high, it's a little up there.
A lot of you were like, "Girl, mm-mm, we ain't gonna try that."
But if you can just get a sample of this or just invest in an amazing primer.
For some reason, when your skin is bare and clean, you put it on everywhere,
it almost gets a little, like, tacky and it just feels amazing, and the foundation just
I'm wearing it today, of course the foundation just sits, oh, oh, oh, like so beautifully.
I don't know if I've ever experienced a primer like this.
It's also supposed to have long-term skin care benefits which is probably why the price is a little up there,
because it's not just a normal ass primer. It does have some amazing skin care benefits.
So, this one ain't going anywhere any time soon.
How many people and how many brands put out contour books last year? I think a million.
I have tried everything from Morphe to Tarte to everything
and I have this LORAC PRO Contour book sitting on my shelf
and I really hadn't given it much love.
And I've been using it the last few months and I'm really, really into it.
I really am.
Now, what tripped me out is that even though I've been using this for two months,
like I'm just going to take this Morphe brush this is really what I use it for and I'll go in,
and for some reason the pan looks like I haven't really been using it, which I love.
So that means the formula is really bomb.
So, if you see me barely pressing it like it is just,
I don't know what it is, but the powders are like, oh, they're like velvet in my hands.
I'm like, whoo. But they blend amazing and they just get your face really snatched.
Now, I think my only complaint about this is that I wish that there were more shades.
I feel like so many contour palettes have like three shades.
I'm like, girl, there are so many more skin tones than that.
So, luckily this one does work for me. If you wanna try a new contour palette
and you're not really sure, you know, I would definitley give this one a whirl.
I think LORAC has been around for a really long time. I remember in high school,
they had this hot pink blush, I will never forget it, and I wore it every single day.
I think I bought like five of them.
So, it's cool to see this brand going really strong and still slaying the game.
So the last thing I'm gonna talk about in the make-up family is this new Givenchy,
it's kind of like a primer, it's like a highlighter.
It is a Strobing Pop-up Jelly Highlighter for face and body.
Now, let me show you why I loved it.
It's pink.
It's very pink.
Now, Givenchy has a beauty brand.
Of course we all know them for their amazing fashion.
But their brand, kind of like Gucci and other high end brands are not really celebrated by make-up artists,
they're not really used a lot.
So I'm like, okay girl, let me just give this brand a little whirl.
I'm going to demonstrate this for you because this is so pretty.
Alright now, if you see this like, I'm going to try to shake it.
It really is like a jelly. And if you touch it, you see that, it's like not really moving, it's really weird.
Like the consistency is almost like, I don't know, it's like a flubber type of like weird putty type of thing.
Alright, so basically you take a little bit of this, right, I'm just going to take it like this,
and you put it on your face, so we'll pretend this is my face, or your body,
and you just kind of rub it in and it gives you this beautiful pink shimmer.
Like it's just really pretty. Let's let that dry.
So, I'm going to turn on my iPhone flashlight because the beauty lights kind of diffuse it,
but this has like this really, really fine pretty glitter into it and I'm kind of living for it.
So, if you really don't wanna wear make-up and you don't wanna wear foundation that day,
I definitely would advise on literally just throwing this on, some mascara, lip gloss, bye girl.
But it is really pretty.
Now, it doesn't really say that it's a primer but I used it for a primer the other day,
just for shits and giggles, and it was really pretty.
And then I also took it and slathered it all over my arms
because I was wearing a short-sleeved outfit and I kind of lived for it.
So, if you have an extra moment I would just suggest you try this bitch out.
It's time to dive into my favorite skin care of last month
and I'm really excited about this one because one of my favorite skin care brands ever,
GLAMGLOW, finally released their Sonic the Hedgehog Blue GRAVITYMUD Mask.
Now, I reviewed this on my channel a while ago with Manny and Nathan,
and I guess it was kind of like a PR thing where it was only for promotional use only
and then the internet blew up and it went so crazy and viral people were like,
"Hi, we wanna buy that." So, last month they finally launched this for the brand.
It is basically exactly like their Silver GRAVITYMUD
which we've all seen a million selfies of people peeling them off.
Now, this one is literally hot metallic blue. Let me just open it up.
It is so stunning.
I don't know why, it's like, for me it's really addicting to like put on masks that peel.
Look how beautiful that is, by the way, I'm like, oh my God.
This mask is amazing.
It firms, it tightens, it tones, and for some reason there's something really addicting
about peeling a mask off and just kind of seeing your skin get a little revived.
So, if you've never tried this I definitely recommend it.
It is actually something that works.
So, I do know that this product is limited edition, well, the blue one is,
so you better get it before it's gone.
Ah, I'm sitting here like, I need to buy like 12.
But if you've ever used this let me know in the comments below
and let me know your thoughts because it is one of my go-to's.
Next up for skin care is from the brand Fresh, they're one of my favorite brands in Sephora.
Now this is the Rose Floral Toner.
You can use it before your make-up, you can also use it to set your make-up
or as like a little refresher.
I mean, I don't know about you guys, but sometimes throughout the day my nose gets a little cakey,
things start shifting, it's hot out, it's cold out, my make-up's like, "What the hell is going on?"
These are really good for just kind of like throughout the day.
I mean, I know this is a little big to put in your purse,
which you all know I put this in my bag.
Now I literally can just spray a little bit of it on and it kind of just revives your make-up
and gives you a little moment.
And it literally smells like liquid rose petals.
It's very soft and dainty.
I loved it.
So if you wanna hydrate and refresh, I definitely recommend this guy.
Before we get into a few products that didn't work for Ms.Thing right here,
I'm going to dive into some fashion.
Now this is all about the brand, Christian Louboutin.
You guys already know I'm a red-bottomed whore.
Now, they recently put out a lot of stuff from their brand.
500 styles of new shoes.
I can't keep up.
But these, ah, sneakers though are so stunning.
They are basically Swarovski rainbow sneakers and, oh my God, I'm like a little bird,
when i see something shiny I'm like, hi. I don't know.
I just, like, when I see shiny things and crystals I become enamored
and I just think that these are so beautiful.
To match the shoes they came out with this tiny little nano-bag.
Look at how stunning the detail is. So, you put this over like a normal purse.
I'm just going to stand up, if my vagina shows I am so sorry. It is so cute.
So basically, if you're someone that only likes to, you know, carry their cellphone,
a lip gloss and, you know, maybe a tampon, a dildo or a plan B, you definitely should check out little bags.
Now it's time to get into my fails. This is basically, I guess I'm gonna say it once
and maybe I'm going to have to say it every month, because people love to twist
and turn everything around these days.
But what I mean by a fail is that it didn't personally work for me.
So if these products, or anything that I ever mention in the future,
that I don't like and it works for you, thank God it worked for you,
because who wants to waste money on shit that they don't fucking use.
But these items just really kind of fell flat for me and I'm going to go into detail of why.
So, every product I have a different experience with obviously.
So, let's dive into it.
Now first off, girl, I love Urban Decay so much and I really hate having to justify saying that.
You all know I'm a Urban Decay, Ride or Die fan.
But their new Vice Liquid Lipsticks, I don't know what happened with these
but I feel like it was just kind of an epic fail for me. Now I swatched these a few weeks ago.
You can see how they looked on camera. Girl, they were not that great.
For some reason, I think the metallic ones were way worse than the matte ones.
But they were so long-lasting.
A lot of people do like that so if you want a lipstick that will, you know,
outstand a nuclear blast or anything crazy, these are probably for you.
But they were so just drying and made my lips like, ugh.
And when I took it off it was like, it was not good.
And I feel like the metallics were really just not amazing.
So, I hope that they maybe reformulate and put out other shades and try to improve the formula.
Just not for me.
Now, if you guys have tried these, please let me know in the comments below what your experience was.
The next one is the new BECCA Primer that just came out last month.
Now look, I thought it was going to be sickening.
It's lavender.
Now this is called the First Light Priming Filter Instant Complexion Refresh.
Girl, that's such a long fucking name.
Fuck! So basically this is supposed to like take away all the dullness in your face once you rub it in,
it's supposed to kind of revive you.
Now, it doesn't really do what it says.
Let's just put this on my hand right oh my God, that just shot on my leg.
Okay, so I'm just gonna put this on my hand.
You see what it's supposed to look like.
Now, this isn't really like a color corrector because it's not really cancelling out anything.
It's definitely supposed to give your skin an extra little like boost of, I guess, light, energy.
You know, if your skin is a little dull this will definitely help but here's really why it's an epic fail for me.
Oh my God, okay, if anyone has cleaned their house with a Lemon Lysol wipe
or that spray you clean wooden floors with, like it's on the back of my hand and I'm like,
oh my God, like, stay back, stay back.
It just smells really like a cleaning like product.
Oh my God, I don't like it, it is very Lemon Lysol, you're about to rub down a wooden fucking chair.
And I just really don't love it. And at the end of the day,
I feel like they maybe were a little, like they were kind of reaching with this one,
I didn't, it just didn't work for me. And the smell, I still can't get over it.
The last item for this video, the last fail is by the brand BY TERRY.
Now this is allegedly an Anti-wrinkle Dark Circle Eye Bag Serum Corrector.
If that's not a mouthful. Now here's the thing, the formula was not terrible.
Now I've used way worse concealers.
But the formula was also not amazing.
But here's my one huge problem.
This is $69, I'm like, fuck bitch! For a concealer, that is really, really up there,
of course BY TERRY is a luxury skin care make-up brand, but here's the problem,
this shade is called Fair.
Let me just double check, yes, this is Number One Fresh Fair.
So basically this is the lightest shade. This was not light enough for me.
I think I am a, I mean, my skin is pale, but there's also a million girls out there
that have the same problem where they just really can't find a light enough concealer.
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with these brands putting out five shades.
I'm like, girl, there's a whole vast world out there. And for some reason,
I'm not gonna put this on my face, I'm gonna put this on my hand real quick.
Like, for some reason I had really high hopes for this concealer.
Now it blended out pretty, it's kind of like the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer,
but not as creamy. But the color, I was kind of offended.
It just wasn't light enough for me.
It was just, I don't know, I'm just like, if brands are gonna put out a concealer
you might wanna put out like 15 to 20 shades to start off and I don't know.
So when I put it on it literally like was darker than my skin tone and I'm like,
so what's the opposite of concealing because this was just not for me.
So this was definitely a fail for me and hopefully they can expand their color range,
and I might give it another whirl.
And that concludes my Holy Grails and Fails for January 2017.
Oh my God, you guys, this year, I feel like, even though this year just started
I feel like it's gonna fly by and I'm really scared about it.
But thank you guys so much for watching this video.

of course please sound off down below and let me know your thoughts.
Obviously I am filming all these videos for you guys and it was very highly requested.
But, did you like it? Let me know down below.
