Smells like Cotten candy I wanted to eat my own face! Light weight. Decent amount of product. Fun and pretty packaging. Would buy again and again as well as other variations!
Moon, Prism, Power!!!!
First time customer review!!
Okay, brace for it cause this is going to be a short novel. I have to start with my back story as to why I waited this long to make this purchase. I have large pores, oily skin and breakouts on the regular. Make up is an important part of my daily routine. I live in a small town and that means the best stores for makeup products don’t exist here, whatever’s sold at Walmart is my closest option but sometimes I would drive all the way to the big city and go to M.A.C. and Sephora.
Well Sephora is where I decided to try celebrity makeup, Kat Von D to be exact and my first time wearing her products was a horrific experience that I’m going to share with you now...
I got all the things I love for a full face and was so excited cause her make up and style was always inspiring, until her products did me dirty. So I put it all on and bake it and set it. Then take my daughter to her baseball game, where my ex and his new wife met up with us, well before the game ended I decided to go to the local donut shop and get a bunch of mini treats for the team. After ordering I had time to take a glance at my self on my rear view mirror while waiting in the drive thru line up and I was so mortified at what I saw all over my face. Every where on my face where I would dimple, crack or wrinkle had a build up of cakey make up clumping together in places I didn’t even know could wrinkle. It’s was mortifing So I get my donut and ask for extra towelettes, on my way driving back to the ball park I took those towelettes and wiped but of her product off my face because showing my large pores, and red pimples was less embarrassing. I get back to the ball park and apologize to my ex and his wife with the gut wrenching need to apologize and explain myself. Needless to say I didn’t trust celebrity makeup after that experience and returned the products to Sephora the next day and gave my honest review.
So why all of a sudden did I change my ways after years of happiness with my basic drugstore brands that were budget friendly and decide to give one more celebrity a shot? Two words... Magic Star 💫 OMG! The design of this product pulled at my sailormoon heart strings and instantly wanted to have my it in my hand and say “Moon, Prism, Power!!!!” As I started my transformation! I couldn’t just get that though. I had to get The Gloss as well! Along with your Translucent setting powder and peach lip scrub and a flamboyant liquid lip stick!
I was so excited to finally be buying some Jeffree Star Cosmetics and I was even more excited that it only took 4 days to get to me by mail during quarantine too boot! Best thing about ordering online was the fact that your beautiful packaged products came wrapped in the most badass paper featuring your glamorous tattoos! I had my sister on my iPad watching through FaceTime and my daughter next to me and when we opened the box to see that totally cool wrapping packed away with a sticker sealing it we all gasped with delight and we haven’t even seen what I paid for yet!
So obviously I have to delicately lift the sticker with the slightest precision to keep both the sticker and the paper it was stuck on intact! The packaging of the products is the kind of pink Aerosmith wrote a song about! Something about “pink on the lips of your lover”. So which one do I open up first and unveil to my daughter and sister? Magic Star of course! I couldn’t have been happier it’s as beautiful as it looked in the picture maybe even more because this one was mine! Instantly my daughter was a fan and asks me “So when you used it all and it’s empty can I keep the container?” Because this product and what contains it is anything but garbage and It’ll never be thrown away! Next I open up The Gloss, I picked crystal climax because well that basically explains how I was feeling trying it for the first time also Sailormoon inspired! It instantly made me awe over the rose gold shimmering it has in its pigments, then the smell wowed me next with hues of chocolate that melts on your lips, it is so easy to apply and smooth. Taste like the creamest hot chocolate I’ve ever had, most importantly though it was very moisturizing and it didn’t give me that sticky feeling most glosses tend to have. Next I opened the Peach Popsicle lip scrub and Mmmmmm smells like the taste of fuzzy peaches candies! I instantly wished I had waited to put the gloss on so I could use this scrub right then. So I had to open up the next blessing in the box, the flamboyant liquid lipstick, it’s a beautiful coral tone that’s perfect for any occasion my daughter secretly wished I picked the wrong shade so that she’d get this one to add to the other failed lipstick attempts she’s gained from me. But not this time! I’m sure I can share it with her on special occasions.
Last but definitely not least the translucent setting powder, I was pleasantly surprised that it smells like my favourite ice cream flavour Cotten candy! I honestly wanted to eat my face and makeup brush as I was applying it!
But you can’t judge a book by its cover, right! Cause that’s what I did at Sephora and we know how dirty that did me. So time to see if it’s too good to be true. Well I wouldn’t be writing you this if it wasn’t. It passed the going out in the rain test, the sweat in the sun test and the no clump in the creases test, all with flying colours! Thank you for not doing me dirty! I’m so happy to continue to buy more products by you from now on! My next purchases will be jawbreaker pallet when it’s back in stock and Cremated pallet once it’s released!!! Thank you again, I just had to share my awesome experience with you. Your products are awesome and I needed to give you the recognition you deserve! Much respect to you! Stay safe and stay true!
