Jeffree Star Cosmetics & Manny MUA collab review

18th April 2017

I apologise in advanced if you aren’t a fan of JSC, I know a lot of people aren’t a fan of his brand so this might not be a post you will like but I couldn’t resist picking up a couple of products from this collection, I do love my liquid lipsticks and highlighters!!

BeautyBay were stocking this collection luckily, and I managed to get on and order before the site went down for over 20 mins! I’m so glad as I heard it was a bit of a nightmare! I only wanted the eclipse highlighter and lipstick in Daddy!

If you watch or follow Jeffree star and Manny you know exactly who they are and what this collab is about, I know Manny and Jeffree aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I do think they are hilarious and I watch them a lot on youtube. I can never resist a limited edition collection, especially with pretty packaging.

Daddy is a cool toned brown and I do love my brown toned lipsticks

Eclipse is classed as an icy peach, I dont think its peach its more of an icy champagne shade, its gorgeous and I dont own anything like it, which is why Ibgave in and got it, Im trying to buy different highlighter shades at the moment.

Eclipse is HUGE! the size is amazing for the price of £25.5o, I’ve spent £30+ on smaller highlighters, This is actually my first JSC skin frost so I was excited to try it, as I have heard they are really nice.

Now you know I’m always brutally honest and if you have seen my instagram stories you will know how I feel about this. I absolutely love the shade, its gorgeous and so unusual, its perfect for my fair skin, but as soon as I swatched it, my first thought was how rough it felt, definitely not what I’m used to, a lot of my highlighters have a smooth buttery texture. I was really rubbing my finger around trying to pick up lots of product, I know you can’t always go by finger swatches (take the kylighters for example) so I couldn’t wait to try it on my face, here’s my next issue, none of my favourite highlighter brushes were picking up any product, it seemed to be picking up more glitter than anything else, huge disappointment, definitely not the pigmented and smooth highlighter I had heard about from people who have these skin frosts, so then I thought what if I’ve got a faulty one or something, but after sharing my thoughts on instagram I had a lot of girls messaging me saying this is actually standard of the JSC skin frosts, and that you have to use the right brush to apply it! which is a huge bummer, I have never had any issues with my other highlighters and having to use a particular brush. the ABH highlighter brush was recommend and the zoeva one. which I’ve had my eye on anyway so maybe I will pick them up.

If you have dry skin or suffer with texture you definitely wont like these at all. I dont normally have any issue with highlighters showing texture on my skin but this one did! I felt really self conscious to be honest, I have to really be gentle when applying this other wise it can look at bit glittery and full on! I hate glitter highlighters, so I am a bit gutted this isn’t more soft and metallic looking.

I also noticed the highlighter really clung to my fingers when I went to wipe it on the back of my hand to do a hand swatch, it was really bizarre it was just clumpy and stuck on my finger. I am a little bit gutted as I love the colour so much, but the formula and texture of this is just not for me. But I am definitely not going to give up on it as I do love the shade, Im going to try out lots of different brushes and see what works best with it.

Next up we have the liquid lipstick in daddy, this I love and dont actually have anything bad to say, I feel like JSC has really improved the formula of these, I only have 2 other shades of the velour liquid lipsticks and my celebrity skin had a really funky smell and it kind of put me off using it, but daddy has no smell and it’s so pigmented and also thin in consistency, so it really feels like you have nothing on the lips.

I was worried the shade would be straight up brown on me and it isn’t, its like a dark brown cool toned nude on me.

I’ve been loving this shade lately, and I’ve been wearing it with the jouer rose gold lip topper.

Overall I am glad I got the bits I did as I do really love the shade of eclipse and will get lots of wear out of the daddy lipstick, the other shade Im shook wasnt really my type of shade, it was a coral toned red so I passed on that. Maybe when I’ve played with the highlighter more I might learn to love it, I think it’s because I’m so used to a type of formula and this is nothing like any highlighter I’ve tried. I Love the limited edition packaging too, the sleek matte black with hologram logo is so much better than the standard pink packaging (sorry Jeffree).

Did you pick up any thing from the JSC & Manny collection? Let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading xo

    I love his products, just not him so I stopped looking at his stuff. I am actually surprised this collection is so muted and ‘normal’.

    Such a shame about the highlighter, especially as this looks like a perfect gold for pale cool toned skin. I hate glittery highlighters too, they make my skin look like the surface of the moon

    I’ve never been that wowed by the skin frosts, but the JSC lipsticks always look incredible! I wish he was a more likeable person, as this makes me not want to buy from his collections. A real shame really, especially since Daddy in this collection looks right up my street.

    I’m not a fan of J* which is a shame because I love the looks of some of his products and they’re supposed to be amazing! It’s a shame about the skin frost – I hope you find the right brush for it! That’s a bit frustrating! Daddy looks beautiful though and really suits you!

    I’ve never tried any products from either of their collections, they arent really my thing to be honest! The bits you’ve picked up are really nice shades though, the liquid lip especially! Shame that the highlighter isn’t buttery.. not what you want really! xx

Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂

So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay!

I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense.

Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
