I picked up my first Jefree star lipstick from Beauty Bliss . It’s a new zealand site that I’ve made a few purchases from . I’ve watched Jefree star produce numerous collections over the years . His products get better as time goes by .
Packaging comes in a clear tube with easy to read labelling. This nude tone colour is a medium brown tone. This consistency is liquid and has no scent .
Application wise it goes on like a dream . Just like Kat Von D liquid lipstick it fades with eating and drinking. Not suitable for dry lips. I honestly think this was overhyped .
There’s cheaper brands that do the same thing , like colorpop , Rimmel , Nyx same job even better and cheaper. I reccomend trying before you buy.
I have forever been obsessed with the look of Jeffree Stars makeup. I purchased his eyeshadow palettes before I tried his lipsticks.
I had a few on my wish list but the first shades I did get were 'You. Better. Work.', 'Family Jewels', 'venus Flytrap' and 'Flamboyant'. Four shades form his 2017 summer collection. These 4 shades were so inconsistent in their formulas which lead me to the lower rating. I know that with brighter shades they can be a little streaky and a need a little work to apply but I could never apply 'Venus Flytrap' successfully without it looking dreadful, obviously streaky and patchy and this one was drying for my lips. I even prepped with his sugar scrubs before hand for maximum effort. This shade unfortunately doesn't make a great lippy but works great as a eyeliner!
Two of the other shades were similar in consistency, streaky and a little drying (You. Better. Work and Flamboyant) however Family Jewels not so much. This shade went on beautifully and I had no issues with it at all! It lasted for so long on the lip but I did find a little drying but not as much as the other shades.
This did not stop me from buying more. I thought that maybe the more normal everyday shades would be a little bit different and wouldn't require extra work to apply them.
I purchased the shades 'Androgyny', 'Posh spice', 'Leo', and 'Gemini'. These shades? I loveeeeeee. So easy to apply, lasted well on the lip, and didn't dry my lip out.
I wish the consistency of his liquid lips were all the same but I found they weren't.
