Unique and so good. The price is a steal
First things first, my skintone is light and has green/yellow/neutral undertones.
I love the bronzer a lot. This texture has 0 sparkle but a nice gold sheen. The colour of the bronzer is amazing - I use it as a bronzer/blush moment. It is rather cool and leans red, so it makes it more purple toned :) I used to love Nars Laguna, but now I go for this 100% of the time. It really has the perfect tone for me to look 'sun-kissed' and not just bronzed in general. BTW! It looks AMAZING on the eyes. I never really enjoyed a bronzer on the eyes, but this? Stunning. Yes, it has a gold sheen, and if you don't apply a lot on the cheeks - I don't really see much of texture emphasizing. I was so impressed I have recently picked up Grande Dame (just light highighter) as a single.
Blush is rather stiff - it is easier to use with the finger. Again, a unique colour I love a lot on me.
The lipstick is rather light, so I would not recommend layering it - the lips start looking pale. But if you don't, it just makes a subtly difference - lips look just a bit more neutral yet peachy to help the whole tan and rested come together.
All in all, from a 'sun-kissed' something kit some (like me) would expect corals and yellow bronzers, just something to help people with tan look better. But this whole package is genius in how these colours don't just immitate sun and tan - they make you really look like you had time to be in the sun instead of working all summer from home.
Coming from a person that has allergic reactions all the time - I never felt anything from these, even from the bronzer on the eyes.
I wish more people would get to try this collection - it is amazing.
Greatest discomfort my eyes ever felt
I want to warn people as I haven't seen a review regarding this bad discomfort with using Blood Sugar before.
First of all, I should say, I love and respect Jeffree as much as you can a youtuber. I look up to him as my greatest inspiration. I was so excited to open this treasure box and my jaw was down for hours after. It is beautiful and no picture can do it justice. I was so happy.
But it only made my heartache worse.
I have playing with this palette for five days straight since I got it, and each and every time when a tiny bit of eyeshadow is placed close to the eye it causes discomfort and after 10 minutes it is so bad I have to remove it all with great caution. It dries my eyes down and I feel it for hours. To resolve this issue, I bought expensive eye drops as cheap one made it so much worse, but even pricy ones don't help. I rinse my eyes thoroughly, but it doesn't help either.
My eyelids are swelled right now and have been for days. My eyes never felt this bad.
If I apply eyeshadows anywhere but on the crease, it ends up in pain. If even bits of eyeshadow reach anywhere near inner and outer corners of the eye - I should remove makeup immediately and beg heavens for pain to pass quickly.
I feel heart broken and lost. Right now I can't even make myself to watch Jeffree's videos as I feel a bit betrayed. I have been waiting months to save up money and three weeks for package to come, and it only brought me grief. I am afraid for my sight, I want to visit doctor.
This is just sad. I shouldn't be so invested in an eyeshadow palette, but aren't we all here.
