Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost Review

Peach Goddess & Ice Cold

Well, I'm not gonna lie.. I completely forgot to review these bad boys!

I purchased these two JSC Skin Frost highlighters a couple of months ago, around the time I was doing A LOT of online shopping for new makeup products, and when I got these I tried them out, swatched them, fell in love at first sight & then poof! Gone in the depths of my makeup organiser..

Well I was playing around with makeup the other day & the look just called for that Peach Goddess glow so I pulled that out again & realised I haven't really talked to you guys about them!

♥

At the time, Jeffree released 4 Skin Frosts - Ice Cold, Peach Goddess, King Tut & Mint Condition Four unique shades for different skin tones & personalities ;)
But keep an eye out for Jeffree, he's working on some bomb sh*t & will soon add more shades to the Skin Frost collection including a Lavender, deeper Gold & I heard a rumour of a Black one for Halloween?! I can't wait to see how that goes down & what looks people come up with!

There's a few reasons why I adore Jeffrees products - he knows quality & tests his products a million times over before selling them to us, everything is cruelty free & vegan, he knows what it's like when you can't afford something so made his highlighters massive & totally worth every cent, his killer style & flare for presentation because like every makeup junkie - he loves good packaging! And there's more but lets talk about these babies & how they'll have you glowing for the gaaawwds hunnay!

Packaging -  as I mentioned above, JS has his own unique style & these barbie pink compacts scream Jeffree Star, they're a thick solid plastic & have a good high-quality mirror inside. Not only that but these are fricken HUGE! A generous amount of 15g/0.53oz for $29 USD, about 5g more than a MAC skinfinsish & more affordable being $4 cheaper! These are also super pigmented so you only need a light hand (depending on how you like your glow) & one of these compacts will last you YEARS! But because there's so much product, these also work great as eyeshadow & all over body shimmer for the summer. Try using them wet for a super intense glow! Remember these are completely Vegan, Cruelty Free, Talc, Paraben & Gluten Free

♥SWATCHES♥

PEACH GODDESS
A stunning bellini shade that has a Peachy/Pink base with an intense champagne shimmer! It looks a lot deeper in the pan, but once on the face it's so reflective that it just bounces off light creating a delicious peach champagne glow! It works fantastic as a Blush topper

ICE COLD
An intense pure white, it's actually hard to describe this shade because it's not just white, it has pearly shimmer, very very pale champagne but also cool silver tones. This is a perfect highlight for fair skinned beauties or on the highest points of your cheekbones on top of a less intense highlight, this adds the right amount for that eye-blinding glow!

I have just a couple of little things I wanted to mention.. Ice Cold is SO intense & so pale in colour that it can almost be too much.. I love a good glow as much as the next beauty babe but this one can make your skin look more textured than it is & sometimes there's the odd chunk of glitter sitting on my cheek... But Peach Goddess is the perfect texture & effect, not glittery just a smooth shimmer, but is a little too dark for some.. I'd Love to see Jeffree come out with a pale golden shade, like a mix of Ice Cold & King Tut? I know it's probably a little too plain for him but I would die for a champagne gold in one of his massive compacts & I'd probably use it on my eyes everyday as well so please Jeffree! Hear my calls for more pale girl glows! Haha



P.S. Please no comments about your opinion on Jeffree Star as a person, I LOVE makeup & his makeup just happens to be bomb! I don't care about the drama, I just want to continue loving & trying products brands create & talking about them to you guys! Spread Positivity & Love for Makeup!

HOW TO: Look Healthy When You're Feeling Sick

Makeup Tips for a Healthy complexion!

Finally, I'm back in to blogging after a couple of weeks with the flu, &  I picked up a few tricks while trying to present myself for work, or just leaving the house in general at this time.
I think it's important to keep your skin moisturised, especially in Winter, 
and to give some life & radiance back to the skin.

♥

(Products I used & why, listed below)

♥ BASE PRODUCTS ♥

After moisturising my face, I mixed a full-coverage luminous foundation with a illuminating face primer/base to give the ultimate glowy base!

I used NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation mixed with

L'oreal LUMI Magique Base Primer or MAC Strobe Cream

I then go for a highly pigmented & brightening concealer to cover those 

dark, sleepy circles around my eyes! Ensuring it is lightweight to prevent creasing.

Using Urban Decays Naked Complete Coverage Concealer (my current fave concealer!)

Also Benefits Fake Up concealer (surrounded in Vit C & Apple Seed Extract) 

keeps skin around the nose hydrated!

Typically, I would then start using powder products to set, contour, bronze etc, but I found working with more cream products would keep my face looking dewy & prevent enhancement of any dry skin

I Love Soleil Tan De Chanel as a universal cream bronzer to contour & add sunkissed colour!

Benefit Watts Up is a stunning champagne, cream highlighter for the cheekbones.

Cream Blushes! Tarte, Stila, Colourpop, MAC are just a few brands

 with amazing colours & formulas! 

I actually went for a powder blush most days, Benefit Dandelion Blush.

This is a pale peachy pink, Face Brightening powder. This powder has a slight sheen on the skin giving a natural radiance with very subtle shimmer. Love!

Using the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, I set the oilier parts of my face with "Dim Light" & used "Radiant Light" over the cream bronzer! It gives a beautiful, brightening finish to your complexion when you're sick!

♥EYE PRODUCTS ♥

When you're sick, you feel weak & your appearance can be the last thing you care about! So I like to leave a few unnecessary makeup steps out...

Eyeshadow! I will quickly pop a dot of shimmery white shadow in the inner corner to 

open the eyes & look wide awake! I won't bother doing a crease/lid shade..

Mascara is a MUST to open up the eyes, Benefit Rollerlash is a great option.

Eyeliner is not necessary if you don't feel up to it, I personally don't feel myself without it! 

I go for Maybelline Master Precise Liner, it's a felt-tip like pen & I find it super easy to use!

Kat Von D Tattoo Pen Liner is another easy alternative. 

♥ LIPS ♥

I prefer to go for a simple lip colour, something undetectable that fades off & is easy to reapply throughout the day. Creamy & Moisturising to hydrate your lips if they get dry.

I love my nude shades! Gerard Cosmetics "1995" I'm wearing in the photo above^ It's a rosey brown nude, deeper then my natural lip colour, super easy to wear!

Chichi Cosmetics "O.M Nude" a mauve brown Nude that's creamy & moisturising!
