Jeffree Star Skin Frosts Review

I have a few Jeffree products. I love them, they're gorgeous. But the price point always makes me squirm. The skin frosts certainly have the pay off, but I think there are other brands out there that have a similar pay off for a more affordable price.

I can't fault this highlighter AT ALL. I tend to get oily with a full face of makeup, but this stuff sticks like glue! It's easily blended, doesn't look like I've painted glitter glue directly on my face, and doesn't feel itchy or uncomfortable! I love love this range, I've got lavender snow in the post as we speak

They're not kidding when they say "let yourself shine". I bought Peach Goddess (a pink shift rose gold) and King Tut (golden bronze) from the Jeffree Star Cosmetics website for approximately $35 at the time of the exchange rate. It was relatively quick delivery and they arrived securely packaged.

The barbie doll pink compact is huge (but smaller than the Marc Jacobs Instamarc compacts) holding 15 grams of product which is double the size of a standard highlighter. Personally, highlighters don’t need to be this big especially if they’re pigmented.

The compact has a good quality mirror where I can see my entire face so I find that it’s perfect for travel despite being quite weighted and big. When comparing the 2 compacts I find that King Tut is difficult to open; it’s more rigid whereas Peach Goddess almost pops open. The King Tut pan is also not centred (i.e. the star point is not pointing at the mirror) whereas Peach Goddess is in perfect alignment.

The product has a buttery smooth consistency with very fine shimmers. I was worried it would look glittery but under the light both shades give a very strong sheen almost shiny (and unfortunately almost greasy for oily skinned beauties).

I really wanted to love these highlighters but unfortunately they’re not my favourite. When using a light hand, Peach Goddess is a buildable highlighter that is not overly pigmented. I can see a lovely pink shift on my cheekbones but over the next few hours the pigment is gone and I’m left with a sheen which by the end of the day it just looks like too much shine.

King Tut is beautifully pigmented and you can easily look like the gold lady on Guardians of the Galaxy 2. If not blended properly it can emphasise the texture of your skin but also look quite stark under lights. I find this performs better than Peach Goddess but it’s still quite shiny on my skin by the end of the day.

I think these would be fantastic for a night out where you want that shiny wet look but I won’t be repurchasing anymore from that range. I prefer a highlighter that stays in place and gives me a glow as opposed to shine.

I am a die hard Jeffree Star Makeup fan. It was really hard to put that aside to give this highlighters an honest review and not just say 'They are amazing because they are Jeffree Star Cosmetics'. Infact there is a couple of things I don't love about this product.

First thing that I'm not a huge fan about is the size. Huge! Whooping 15g of product. And unless you bathe in highlight everyday, it's totally unnecessary to have this much product in one pan! I know I'll never get through mine in the time it expires.

Inconsistent! OK so between the 2 shades I have they are inconsistent. I have 'King Tut' a bronzey glow, subtle and easily blended and 'Mint condition' Green and we'll down right hard to blend! I don't know of its because it's green that the product formula is different? But I find when it's on the skin it's really hard to blend out onto the cheek bone, where as King Tut is a beautiful Glowy shade easy to apply and easy to blend.

Now Mint condition is still blinding but really really really obvious on the skin. No matter where you blink it, it stands out like no bodies business. I love a good glow bit I feel with this shade on people from out of space can see me!

I haven't tried any other shades but mint condition hasn't ruined it for me yet! I think I need to try another 'coloured' one and another more 'normal' shade and compare the consistency again.

I really love my King Tut shade, a go to highlight for me and easily worn with an every day makeup look too.

I love these highlighters! Get such good pay off with the products. The pan size is also really good. With how fast I go through it, I think the price is good.
