So today I tried out two somewhat new products. -Jeffree Stars Blood Sugar Palette https://www.morphebrushes.com/products/blood-sugar-palette?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googleshopping&variant=3881911386125&gclid=CjwKCAjw5pPnBRBJEiwAULZKvvSiXtzfchRnAbdlwBGS9gTaeymRAcOoIypysExKYkCJMkZrrwX3QxoCOyoQAvD_BwE -Lilly Lashes in Miami https://lillylashes.com/collections/3d-mink/products/miami?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brand+|+Exact+|+Search&gclid=CjwKCAjw5pPnBRBJEiwAULZKvrF6cxQKnPoylGGyK5h7X085IkFs0IvLSa07RXqKMdUixA1EF7SzVhoCRQ4QAvD_BwE Lets start by talking about the Jeffree Starr Blood Sugar Palette. I must admit, I AM IN LOVE. The amount of product you get in each pan of eyeshadow, and the amount of shadows (18) for the price is ridiculously reasonable! This palette retails for $52, which ends up coming out to $2.89 each eyeshadow if you can even find it, because its constantly sold out and I'm honestly not surprised! The shadows are pressed powder and very creamy and pigmented. The best way to describe these shadows is by saying simply a little goes along way. Each color definitely packs a big punch. By having 5 different shades of red scaling from lighter to darker you can create nothing but dimension. The shades range from White -to- Plum Purple with some shades of Brown, Pink, Gold, and as I mentioned before 5 shades of Red. Unlike most palettes Jeffree's palette comes with enough shades and shade ranges that you can create an entire look using just his palette. The Browns contained are the perfect transition shades for all skin tones. The look I created in the photo was made using a primer on one and no primer on the other. I did that in order to see 1.How long do they last on their own. 2.If a primer made a difference in the texture or pigment. 3. To see the blendability in each shade. The fact that every shade I used blended like butter both with and without the primer made life just seem so perfect at that moment. Unlike most people I'm a fan of doing my foundation before my eyeshadow so fall out for me would for sure be an issue. However once again, this palette seems to be perfect in every way because fall out? As Jeffree Starr would say "We don't know her." All together the Blood Sugar palette is amazing in all ways to me. Pigmented, buildable, blendable, and once again PERFECT. Although I'm not surprised because duh it's Jeffree Starr. Now on to the lashes. I personally don't like big dramatic lashes. Although I do agree that they can either make or break a look. I do however like these particular lashes. I paired them with the already known iconic DUO lash glue and had little issues. The only complaint I had pertaining to the lashes were that the band on the lash was a little thick for my liking but once again I'm not a big dramatic lash type of person and I'm assuming that the band had to be a bit bigger because of the dramticness of them. Other then that I had an overall good experience with them. They added to the look nicely and really brought everything together. The link to buy both products are above. Give them a try and reply to this post with your experience. I'd love to hear and looking forward to reading your responses. Thanks for the read
