What’s up everybody, welcome back to my channel.
Today we are doing my March Holy Grails and Fails.
Now, February flew by, you guys.
I know I did not do a February Favorites or any type of video like that.
I don’t even know what happened to February.
It just vanished, it went by in a flash.
I just remember blinking and all of a sudden, it’s about to be April and I’m like, I can’t, I can’t breathe.
So, in today’s video we’re going to talk about some of my favorite make-up products,
some of my favorite fashion items,
and I’m also going to talk about a few products that I tried last month that didn’t really work out for me.
But besides that, you guys, recently some life changes have been happening with me and Nathan.
We hired a personal trainer. Oh my God, Mama is trying to get a little bit more fit.
I kind of slacked off of working out half of last year
and I just miss the feeling of working out and having real energy throughout the day
and not always needing energy drinks or that type of bullshit.
So, I’m back on my health kick and I just feel mentally better as a person.
A lot more, even just happier with life. I think that fitness is so important.
I think I want to make a separate video about weight issues and insecurities.
Let me know if you guys want that.
Because when I did the video where Nicole covered all of my tattoos
there were so many people just being like really evil and crazy about,
oh my God, you look too skinny, you look too this, you look too that,
and I’m like, really, we’re still, like, really going in on people that hard?
Now, personally, I’m really happy with myself and how I look.
Of course, how others view me is how others view me.
But I think it really brings up a different topic of self-worth, individuality, weight issues,
whether you are overweight or underweight, and just how society judges us.
So, I definitely kind of want to just sit and turn the camera on over the next few days
and maybe just kind of talk about stuff.
So, if you guys would be interested in that type of video, let me know down below.
So, recently, like literally a few days ago, I just got back from Necker Island
which is owned by Richard Branson.
Oh my God, I’m sure you guys saw the SnapChat was lit from so many different YouTubers and beauty influencers.
I went with Benefit Cosmetics and I got to take Nathan.
We filmed an entire vlog for my channel so that will be up hopefully in the next week or two.
And it was just really fun. Everyone was there.
Manny, Nikita, Gabriel, Patrick, Nikkie, like literally everyone was there,
on a tiny little island in the middle of nowhere. It was wild.
So, if you want to see all of my adventures that will be on my channel soon.
And besides that, you guys, a few days ago, me and Nathan just had our two-year anniversary.
Holy shit, I feel like we literally just met and I don’t know,
I’m kind of having like this reminiscent just moment of the first time me and Nathan ever locked eyes and we met.
I just felt like he was like an old friend and I literally, I don’t know,
like my heart and my body and my whole entire soul was just like so like comfortable
and he’s probably one of the only people in my entire life that has genuinely loved me entirely for just me
and two years has gone by in a flash.
It was really cool to celebrate our anniversary on the island as well.
Also, we are literally one week away from the Manny MUA/Jeffree Star Cosmetics collaboration.
It is around the corner. I am so excited for you guys to see everything
and just touch it and feel it and play with it.
If you guys haven’t seen the reveal yet and you’ve been busy, you can check it out on Manny’s channel.
Of course, I’m going t o link that down below.
But yeah, the first make-up item that I’m going to be talking about today
is no other than the Anastasia Beverly Hills Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit.
Now, I did a review on this almost a month ago, and you guys really loved the review.
It was really fun to see everyone just excited about highlighting.
You guys know I am the highlighting god.
And I just, I don’t know, I love bathing in highlight.
Now, this palette alone, it speaks to my soul.
Now, I’ve got to be really real with you guys, nothing new here.
Kitty Kat might be hitting pan soon because I’ve been using her a lot recently.
I love layering this with my Ice Cold or with any other highlighter.
I swear to God, it’s like amplified to the extreme.
And this one, though, I’ve been using Forever Lit on the brow bone and the inner corner.
It is one of my favorites. I think that this palette is really versatile.
I know that so many of you have been loving it so I definitely had to put this Number One.
I love this palette.
Now, let’s move onto something a little more glossy.
Now, this is on my lips right now. Bam! This is from Chanel.
Now, their lip-glosses have been probably one of my favorite formulas just throughout
the last few years because it is very lightweight. It is not sticky.
It’s almost like a wet type of feeling that just kind of goes away.
There’s really no crazy fragrance on this one.
Now, this is like a beautiful, golden, glittery type of clear gloss and this shade is called Melted Honey.
Oh, I love that name.
Now, I am wearing this over nothing.
These are just my bare lips, no liner, no lipstick.
But this over a lipstick though, or like a light liner, is e-very-thing.
I know I don’t talk about glosses a lot. I am a matte queen.
But this one though is just…
.... fabulous.
Alright, the next item is from the brand Farsali, and this is their make-up primer serum.
It is amazing. I don’t know what it is.
This is like magic in a bottle.
When you put it on and rub it in all over your face, wait a second, put your foundation on, and it is so snatched.
Like, I’ve had this make-up on for like seven to eight hours, and my skin looks amazing.
Now, I love this brand, I can’t wait to see what they put out next.
Let me know if anyone has tried this down below.
Not much to say about it except it is amazing as a primer and that’s what I use it for.
I think I’m in love.
Next up is from the brand ICONIC LONDON.
These are the Illuminator Drops.
Now, they are blinding.
Now, the other day I literally wore moisturizer and this lip-gloss and I mixed this with the moisturizer
and it just gave my face this all over like hue of like metal.
I was feeling very Tin-man, very snatched.
And in case you guys have never seen these in action,
I talked about these in a video called, “Instagram made me buy it” which I will put down here.
These are everything you guys.
Let me just demonstrate a little bit on my hand.
Hi there. Now, a little goes a long way.
So, I’m just going to take two fingers here and I mean, hi, do we need to say any more anyone?
I mean, this is just great for, by itself, in a moisturizer,
in your foundation, you can drop it on your cheeks and buff it out with a beauty blender.
It is very versatile.
And you know what’s crazy, is literally the day that I posted the video,
I talked about how I wish they made other shades and they literally put out two shades that same day.
Coincidence? Yes God.
So, there also is a few more shades and hopefully they expand.
The next next item is…Bam!
This is a blush called Bumpy Ride from the brand NARS.
Now, I’ve been wearing NARS since high school.
Oh my God, I just got highlighter all over that.
This blush is really, really gorgeous.
It is very soft and peachy which I know everyone has been into those colors lately, including myself,
and I love a denim moment with some peach blush. I mean, it is everything.
Now, these blushes are a little bit on the pricey side.
So, of course there are other dupes for, you know, this brand,
but I feel like if you can get the real thing, get the fucking real thing, because this formula is bomb.
It blends and melts into the skin, it’s not chalky.
Probably one of my favorite blush formulas ever.
And, not that any of you are shocked, a little product placement here.
But my Androgyny palette has to be in my favorites.
It has been out for almost two months now and the response has been so incredible.
I love seeing everyone’s looks.
If you’re on Instagram, hashtag Jeffree Star Cosmetics so I can see all your looks.
I love reposting everyone.
But, my palette, you guys, I’m going to open her up because she is worn in.
I love seeing pans that are really worn in.
Now, this one I’ve been using for contouring my face and this for highlighter.
I don’t know what it is you guys, but greens,
I’m wearing Military right here in the crease.
I’ve just been loving greens lately.
Definitely different from what I normally do.
But this palette just means something so special to me as the second palette
that I’ve ever created and just so see you guys love it so much is just so unreal.
So, thank you guys so much.
And, I might have another eyeshadow palette launching in the Fall.
We’ll see.
Alright, now let’s dive into some fashion items.
Now, sunglasses.
If you’ve been watching my channel for a while you know that I always put sunglasses in my favorites.
I’m obsessed with them. Not also for any looks but for anti-aging.
Whenever I’m driving in the car I always have sunglasses on.
I’ll look over at someone and when the sun’s hitting their face
or it’s bright out I always see people squinting and I’m like, Hah, them crow’s feet, girl!
Not today.
So, recently, Gucci just put out some new sunglasses.
First of all, the case, though, that teal velvet.
I’m like, I love. Kind of matches my eyeshadow too.
Now, these glasses I’ve been wearing a lot lately.
Let me just put these on for y’all just for a minute please.
Why are they so cute?
If you’re not into big glasses and you think these look ridiculous, you can fast forward to the next item.
But for someone that appreciates huge glasses, I live for these.
The Swarovski crystal border is kind of everything, let’s be real.
I just love obnoxious fashion, I think they’re so fun.
And maybe these might not be for everybody but definitely… maybe they were made for me.
No, but I just love outrageous things and they’re really fun and given me a lot of 60s vibes.
And I don’t know, anything pink, though you guys know, if it’s pink, I’m going to buy it.
So, Nathan’s here real quickly
because we have something that we’ve been using for a few months and everyone’s like, what the fuck?
Our iPhone 7 Plus cases we’ve put kind of all over the internet.
Yeah, they’re pretty tight.
And we are obsessed with them.
And they are from Louis Vuitton and we have three of them here today.
Of course, Nathan got the dude version.
Yeah, the black and grey
The Eclipse as they call it. Yeah, Monogram is solid.
and I got the reverse Monogram.
I used that for a lot of March and then I recently just got this gold crocodile and I fucking live for it.
It is so heavy. Yeah.
Explain to them…you could use this as a weapon probably.
I’m going to Naomi Campbell someone if you come for me.
This is a brick.
Yeah. Whenever anyone sees it they’re like, “Oh my God, can I see that?”
And I like throw it and they’re... and you’ve got to remember it’s like… this thing is like…
It’s huge. It’s quite big. It’s like…
Look at my face. You can’t even see it any more.
Exactly. It’s like… A bit heavy.
Yeah, it's like literally, it took our wrists a few days to get used to it.
Yeah, like, being able to grip it,
And when you’re in bed laying on the pillow and you’re up… oh my God.
You have to double hand or you’re like…
If this drops on your face, Mama’s going to need some extra thick concealer for the day.
Alright. But yeah, I love these.
Of course, a lot of people ask, “Where do you buy Louis Vuitton?” Girl,
the only place to buy Louis Vuitton is at Louis Vuitton.
So, if you want these, I know that they’re floating around.
They sold out so quickly so I know that they’re really hard to find.
And they’re also really pricey for a dumb cellphone case.
So, I know a lot of people are like, “You don’t need that bullshit.”
You don’t need anything in life except food and water.
Right. But I'm.....
And maybe some love.
But I’m obsessed with these and hopefully they put out more soon.
Yeah, I’m ready.
Last fashion item. No shoes. Backpacks.
You guys know I’m a handbag whore, but backpacks have been speaking to my soul lately.
I don’t know why when I’m travelling I’m loving just throwing things on my back
instead of carrying a heavy-ass purse all the time.
So, recently Chanel just put out this beautiful classic backpack.
Now, I just love Chanel.
When I was a little girl I always dreamed of carrying Chanel bags.
I would watch Sex and the City and be like, “Oh my God, I just want one.”
But now that I am a handbag collector I am obsessed with these types of items.
They are like pieces of art to me.
I don’t take these for, eh, it is what it is. Like, to me, this like speaks to me.
They’re just like, I don’t know, I just love collecting, I am definitely a collector.
But this backpack is perfect for travelling, for on the go,
for all those long flights that Mama been taking a lot recently. And I’m obsessed
Alright guys, now we are going to talk about a few items that kind of failed for me last month.
And every product that I mention throughout this year that is a fail,
I will always explain why and why it didn’t work out for me.
If you had a great experience with this product, congratulations,
you definitely saved money by not ever using it again.
So, the first product I am going to be talking about today is the Kylie Cosmetics Kylighters.
Now, you guys know, I mean look at my face, I am a blinding highlighter lover.
When I tested these out on my channel there was such crazy feedback and opinions.
A lot of you were like, “Look, the packaging is just not stunning. It looks cheap.
The highlighter was not blinding for $22.
And I totally understood all of those concerns. I had the same issues.
Now, this one is Strawberry Shortcake.
I love the pink hue to this but it just really wasn’t blinding for me.
And then of course the Banana Split one which was talked about a lot on my channel.
It was cute.
They’re just not blinding and I think for $22
there is definitely a lot of other products out there that work a lot better.
But if you’re someone that likes a subtle glow, these will probably work for you. But for me, it was a fail.
Alright, my second and last fail, oh Lord Jesus, this is the Too Faced Chocolate Chip palette.
I’m going to use the word palette loosely, because this thing is so tiny.
Now, when I saw this online I got the illusion that maybe it was like bigger, like their Chocolate Bar palette.
Or maybe slightly larger, I’m not sure what I expected.
But when I got this in the mail I was like…
It’s like when you finally hook up with a hot guy you’ve been wanting for a long time
and you unzip his pants and it’s like... is that all?
That’s kind of the moment that I had with this motherfucking product.
So, let me open her up.
Now, look. When I saw this you guys, I immediately was like,
am I doing the “Full face using only kids’ make-up challenge”?
Because this looks tiny!
Look how small those pans are. And here’s the main problem.
Let me get a brush and let me just tap.
So, let me just tap into this shade right here once or twice.
There is so much
fallout it’s unreal.
Every shade you guys is literally just like…
oh my God, can you see that with my lighting?
Let me just click it a few more times.
It is intense.
The one good thing about it is, oh, it smells really yummy.
Like most of their products now, they all smell bomb as fuck.
But the actual formula and the product itself, I’m not really loving it.
It’s like, you can definitely create a full look out of here, it’s just a lot of lights.
It’s like these two all kind of look like the same shade to me.
And they threw in the classic white and the black.
But, nah, it fell really flat for me and that fallout, I’m like, (coughs),
I literally taste the like the powder in my mouth right now which, kinda yummy, but maybe dangerous.
Besides, that you guys, those were my only disappointments for last month.
There was a lot of amazing things.
I also tried out a lot of stuff and if I don’t use something more than once I really don’t talk about it again.
Unless, like, if I review it and I hate it, it’s going in the make-up archives.
And one day I’ll do a make-up tour, I promise.
Alright you guys, thank you so much for watching my March Holy Grails and Fails.
I am really excited to dive into April. I’m so excited for my collab with Manny to come out.
And we’re about to start off Spring strong and then Summer.
Wait until you see that Limited Edition Jeffree Star Cosmetics packaging.
There is a huge bundle coming out. And I’m excited.
So, thank you guys so much for watching me.
I will see you on the next video.
Mwah!
Ow! Bye guys
