  • What’s up everybody, welcome back to my channel.

  • Today we are doing my March Holy Grails and Fails.

  • Now, February flew by, you guys.

  • I know I did not do a February Favorites or any type of video like that.

  • I don’t even know what happened to February.

  • It just vanished, it went by in a flash.

  • I just remember blinking and all of a sudden, it’s about to be April and I’m like, I can’t, I can’t breathe.

  • So, in today’s video were going to talk about some of my favorite make-up products,

  • some of my favorite fashion items,

  • and I’m also going to talk about a few products that I tried last month that didn’t really work out for me.

  • But besides that, you guys, recently some life changes have been happening with me and Nathan.

  • We hired a personal trainer. Oh my God, Mama is trying to get a little bit more fit.

  • I kind of slacked off of working out half of last year

  • and I just miss the feeling of working out and having real energy throughout the day

  • and not always needing energy drinks or that type of bullshit.

  • So, I’m back on my health kick and I just feel mentally better as a person.

  • A lot more, even just happier with life. I think that fitness is so important.

  • I think I want to make a separate video about weight issues and insecurities.

  • Let me know if you guys want that.

  • Because when I did the video where Nicole covered all of my tattoos

  • there were so many people just being like really evil and crazy about,

  • oh my God, you look too skinny, you look too this, you look too that,

  • and I’m like, really, were still, like, really going in on people that hard?

  • Now, personally, I’m really happy with myself and how I look.

  • Of course, how others view me is how others view me.

  • But I think it really brings up a different topic of self-worth, individuality, weight issues,

  • whether you are overweight or underweight, and just how society judges us.

  • So, I definitely kind of want to just sit and turn the camera on over the next few days

  • and maybe just kind of talk about stuff.

  • So, if you guys would be interested in that type of video, let me know down below.

  • So, recently, like literally a few days ago, I just got back from Necker Island

  • which is owned by Richard Branson.

  • Oh my God, I’m sure you guys saw the SnapChat was lit from so many different YouTubers and beauty influencers.

  • I went with Benefit Cosmetics and I got to take Nathan.

  • We filmed an entire vlog for my channel so that will be up hopefully in the next week or two.

  • And it was just really fun. Everyone was there.

  • Manny, Nikita, Gabriel, Patrick, Nikkie, like literally everyone was there,

  • on a tiny little island in the middle of nowhere. It was wild.

  • So, if you want to see all of my adventures that will be on my channel soon.

  • And besides that, you guys, a few days ago, me and Nathan just had our two-year anniversary.

  • Holy shit, I feel like we literally just met and I don’t know,

  • I’m kind of having like this reminiscent just moment of the first time me and Nathan ever locked eyes and we met.

  • I just felt like he was like an old friend and I literally, I don’t know,

  • like my heart and my body and my whole entire soul was just like so like comfortable

  • and he’s probably one of the only people in my entire life that has genuinely loved me entirely for just me

  • and two years has gone by in a flash.

  • It was really cool to celebrate our anniversary on the island as well.

  • Also, we are literally one week away from the Manny MUA/Jeffree Star Cosmetics collaboration.

  • It is around the corner. I am so excited for you guys to see everything

  • and just touch it and feel it and play with it.

  • If you guys haven’t seen the reveal yet and youve been busy, you can check it out on Manny’s channel.

  • Of course, I’m going t o link that down below.

  • But yeah, the first make-up item that I’m going to be talking about today

  • is no other than the Anastasia Beverly Hills Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit.

  • Now, I did a review on this almost a month ago, and you guys really loved the review.

  • It was really fun to see everyone just excited about highlighting.

  • You guys know I am the highlighting god.

  • And I just, I don’t know, I love bathing in highlight.

  • Now, this palette alone, it speaks to my soul.

  • Now, I’ve got to be really real with you guys, nothing new here.

  • Kitty Kat might be hitting pan soon because I’ve been using her a lot recently.

  • I love layering this with my Ice Cold or with any other highlighter.

  • I swear to God, it’s like amplified to the extreme.

  • And this one, though, I’ve been using Forever Lit on the brow bone and the inner corner.

  • It is one of my favorites. I think that this palette is really versatile.

  • I know that so many of you have been loving it so I definitely had to put this Number One.

  • I love this palette.

  • Now, let’s move onto something a little more glossy.

  • Now, this is on my lips right now. Bam! This is from Chanel.

  • Now, their lip-glosses have been probably one of my favorite formulas just throughout

  • the last few years because it is very lightweight. It is not sticky.

  • It’s almost like a wet type of feeling that just kind of goes away.

  • There’s really no crazy fragrance on this one.

  • Now, this is like a beautiful, golden, glittery type of clear gloss and this shade is called Melted Honey.

  • Oh, I love that name.

  • Now, I am wearing this over nothing.

  • These are just my bare lips, no liner, no lipstick.

  • But this over a lipstick though, or like a light liner, is e-very-thing.

  • I know I don’t talk about glosses a lot. I am a matte queen.

  • But this one though is just

  • .... fabulous.

  • Alright, the next item is from the brand Farsali, and this is their make-up primer serum.

  • It is amazing. I don’t know what it is.

  • This is like magic in a bottle.

  • When you put it on and rub it in all over your face, wait a second, put your foundation on, and it is so snatched.

  • Like, I’ve had this make-up on for like seven to eight hours, and my skin looks amazing.

  • Now, I love this brand, I can’t wait to see what they put out next.

  • Let me know if anyone has tried this down below.

  • Not much to say about it except it is amazing as a primer and that’s what I use it for.

  • I think I’m in love.

  • Next up is from the brand ICONIC LONDON.

  • These are the Illuminator Drops.

  • Now, they are blinding.

  • Now, the other day I literally wore moisturizer and this lip-gloss and I mixed this with the moisturizer

  • and it just gave my face this all over like hue of like metal.

  • I was feeling very Tin-man, very snatched.

  • And in case you guys have never seen these in action,

  • I talked about these in a video called, “Instagram made me buy itwhich I will put down here.

  • These are everything you guys.

  • Let me just demonstrate a little bit on my hand.

  • Hi there. Now, a little goes a long way.

  • So, I’m just going to take two fingers here and I mean, hi, do we need to say any more anyone?

  • I mean, this is just great for, by itself, in a moisturizer,

  • in your foundation, you can drop it on your cheeks and buff it out with a beauty blender.

  • It is very versatile.

  • And you know what’s crazy, is literally the day that I posted the video,

  • I talked about how I wish they made other shades and they literally put out two shades that same day.

  • Coincidence? Yes God.

  • So, there also is a few more shades and hopefully they expand.

  • The next next item isBam!

  • This is a blush called Bumpy Ride from the brand NARS.

  • Now, I’ve been wearing NARS since high school.

  • Oh my God, I just got highlighter all over that.

  • This blush is really, really gorgeous.

  • It is very soft and peachy which I know everyone has been into those colors lately, including myself,

  • and I love a denim moment with some peach blush. I mean, it is everything.

  • Now, these blushes are a little bit on the pricey side.

  • So, of course there are other dupes for, you know, this brand,

  • but I feel like if you can get the real thing, get the fucking real thing, because this formula is bomb.

  • It blends and melts into the skin, it’s not chalky.

  • Probably one of my favorite blush formulas ever.

  • And, not that any of you are shocked, a little product placement here.

  • But my Androgyny palette has to be in my favorites.

  • It has been out for almost two months now and the response has been so incredible.

  • I love seeing everyone’s looks.

  • If youre on Instagram, hashtag Jeffree Star Cosmetics so I can see all your looks.

  • I love reposting everyone.

  • But, my palette, you guys, I’m going to open her up because she is worn in.

  • I love seeing pans that are really worn in.

  • Now, this one I’ve been using for contouring my face and this for highlighter.

  • I don’t know what it is you guys, but greens,

  • I’m wearing Military right here in the crease.

  • I’ve just been loving greens lately.

  • Definitely different from what I normally do.

  • But this palette just means something so special to me as the second palette

  • that I’ve ever created and just so see you guys love it so much is just so unreal.

  • So, thank you guys so much.

  • And, I might have another eyeshadow palette launching in the Fall.

  • Well see.

  • Alright, now let’s dive into some fashion items.

  • Now, sunglasses.

  • If youve been watching my channel for a while you know that I always put sunglasses in my favorites.

  • I’m obsessed with them. Not also for any looks but for anti-aging.

  • Whenever I’m driving in the car I always have sunglasses on.

  • I’ll look over at someone and when the sun’s hitting their face

  • or it’s bright out I always see people squinting and I’m like, Hah, them crow’s feet, girl!

  • Not today.

  • So, recently, Gucci just put out some new sunglasses.

  • First of all, the case, though, that teal velvet.

  • I’m like, I love. Kind of matches my eyeshadow too.

  • Now, these glasses I’ve been wearing a lot lately.

  • Let me just put these on for y’all just for a minute please.

  • Why are they so cute?

  • If youre not into big glasses and you think these look ridiculous, you can fast forward to the next item.

  • But for someone that appreciates huge glasses, I live for these.

  • The Swarovski crystal border is kind of everything, let’s be real.

  • I just love obnoxious fashion, I think theyre so fun.

  • And maybe these might not be for everybody but definitelymaybe they were made for me.

  • No, but I just love outrageous things and theyre really fun and given me a lot of 60s vibes.

  • And I don’t know, anything pink, though you guys know, if it’s pink, I’m going to buy it.

  • So, Nathan’s here real quickly

  • because we have something that weve been using for a few months and everyone’s like, what the fuck?

  • Our iPhone 7 Plus cases weve put kind of all over the internet.

  • Yeah, theyre pretty tight.

  • And we are obsessed with them.

  • And they are from Louis Vuitton and we have three of them here today.

  • Of course, Nathan got the dude version.

  • Yeah, the black and grey

  • The Eclipse as they call it. Yeah, Monogram is solid.

  • and I got the reverse Monogram.

  • I used that for a lot of March and then I recently just got this gold crocodile and I fucking live for it.

  • It is so heavy. Yeah.

  • Explain to themyou could use this as a weapon probably.

  • I’m going to Naomi Campbell someone if you come for me.

  • This is a brick.

  • Yeah. Whenever anyone sees it theyre like, “Oh my God, can I see that?”

  • And I like throw it and theyre... and youve got to remember it’s likethis thing is like

  • It’s huge. It’s quite big. It’s like

  • Look at my face. You can’t even see it any more.

  • Exactly. It’s like… A bit heavy.

  • Yeah, it's like literally, it took our wrists a few days to get used to it.

  • Yeah, like, being able to grip it,

  • And when youre in bed laying on the pillow and youre upoh my God.

  • You have to double hand or youre like

  • If this drops on your face, Mama’s going to need some extra thick concealer for the day.

  • Alright. But yeah, I love these.

  • Of course, a lot of people ask, “Where do you buy Louis Vuitton?” Girl,

  • the only place to buy Louis Vuitton is at Louis Vuitton.

  • So, if you want these, I know that theyre floating around.

  • They sold out so quickly so I know that theyre really hard to find.

  • And theyre also really pricey for a dumb cellphone case.

  • So, I know a lot of people are like, “You don’t need that bullshit.”

  • You don’t need anything in life except food and water.

  • Right. But I'm.....

  • And maybe some love.

  • But I’m obsessed with these and hopefully they put out more soon.

  • Yeah, I’m ready.

  • Last fashion item. No shoes. Backpacks.

  • You guys know I’m a handbag whore, but backpacks have been speaking to my soul lately.

  • I don’t know why when I’m travelling I’m loving just throwing things on my back

  • instead of carrying a heavy-ass purse all the time.

  • So, recently Chanel just put out this beautiful classic backpack.

  • Now, I just love Chanel.

  • When I was a little girl I always dreamed of carrying Chanel bags.

  • I would watch Sex and the City and be like, “Oh my God, I just want one.”

  • But now that I am a handbag collector I am obsessed with these types of items.

  • They are like pieces of art to me.

  • I don’t take these for, eh, it is what it is. Like, to me, this like speaks to me.

  • Theyre just like, I don’t know, I just love collecting, I am definitely a collector.

  • But this backpack is perfect for travelling, for on the go,

  • for all those long flights that Mama been taking a lot recently. And I’m obsessed

  • Alright guys, now we are going to talk about a few items that kind of failed for me last month.

  • And every product that I mention throughout this year that is a fail,

  • I will always explain why and why it didn’t work out for me.

  • If you had a great experience with this product, congratulations,

  • you definitely saved money by not ever using it again.

  • So, the first product I am going to be talking about today is the Kylie Cosmetics Kylighters.

  • Now, you guys know, I mean look at my face, I am a blinding highlighter lover.

  • When I tested these out on my channel there was such crazy feedback and opinions.

  • A lot of you were like, “Look, the packaging is just not stunning. It looks cheap.

  • The highlighter was not blinding for $22.

  • And I totally understood all of those concerns. I had the same issues.

  • Now, this one is Strawberry Shortcake.

  • I love the pink hue to this but it just really wasn’t blinding for me.

  • And then of course the Banana Split one which was talked about a lot on my channel.

  • It was cute.

  • Theyre just not blinding and I think for $22

  • there is definitely a lot of other products out there that work a lot better.

  • But if youre someone that likes a subtle glow, these will probably work for you. But for me, it was a fail.

  • Alright, my second and last fail, oh Lord Jesus, this is the Too Faced Chocolate Chip palette.

  • I’m going to use the word palette loosely, because this thing is so tiny.

  • Now, when I saw this online I got the illusion that maybe it was like bigger, like their Chocolate Bar palette.

  • Or maybe slightly larger, I’m not sure what I expected.

  • But when I got this in the mail I was like

  • It’s like when you finally hook up with a hot guy youve been wanting for a long time

  • and you unzip his pants and it’s like... is that all?

  • That’s kind of the moment that I had with this motherfucking product.

  • So, let me open her up.

  • Now, look. When I saw this you guys, I immediately was like,

  • am I doing theFull face using only kidsmake-up challenge”?

  • Because this looks tiny!

  • Look how small those pans are. And here’s the main problem.

  • Let me get a brush and let me just tap.

  • So, let me just tap into this shade right here once or twice.

  • There is so much

  • fallout it’s unreal.

  • Every shade you guys is literally just like

  • oh my God, can you see that with my lighting?

  • Let me just click it a few more times.

  • It is intense.

  • The one good thing about it is, oh, it smells really yummy.

  • Like most of their products now, they all smell bomb as fuck.

  • But the actual formula and the product itself, I’m not really loving it.

  • It’s like, you can definitely create a full look out of here, it’s just a lot of lights.

  • It’s like these two all kind of look like the same shade to me.

  • And they threw in the classic white and the black.

  • But, nah, it fell really flat for me and that fallout, I’m like, (coughs),

  • I literally taste the like the powder in my mouth right now which, kinda yummy, but maybe dangerous.

  • Besides, that you guys, those were my only disappointments for last month.

  • There was a lot of amazing things.

  • I also tried out a lot of stuff and if I don’t use something more than once I really don’t talk about it again.

  • Unless, like, if I review it and I hate it, it’s going in the make-up archives.

  • And one day I’ll do a make-up tour, I promise.

  • Alright you guys, thank you so much for watching my March Holy Grails and Fails.

  • I am really excited to dive into April. I’m so excited for my collab with Manny to come out.

  • And were about to start off Spring strong and then Summer.

  • Wait until you see that Limited Edition Jeffree Star Cosmetics packaging.

  • There is a huge bundle coming out. And I’m excited.

  • So, thank you guys so much for watching me.

  • I will see you on the next video.

  • Mwah!

  • Ow! Bye guys

What’s up everybody, welcome back to my channel.
