Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Sugar Palette

I’ve talked about Jeffree Star on my blog a few times. I mentioned how I’m a bit of a fan girl and I know that rubbed some the wrong way. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s ok. I’ve been following him since the MySpace days. That’s a long time! He’s easily my favorite YouTuber and he’s the only one my husband will watch with me. A few weeks back we sat and watched the Shane Dawson Jeffree Star Docu-Series while we ate pizza. Good times! I highly suggest checking out the Docu-Series. It’s funny and inspiring as heck.

My husband was surprised to learn that I hadn’t reviewed any of his palettes yet. Truth is none of them really appealed to me. They’re very pretty. Especially the Thirsty Palette. But I just didn’t feel they were shades I needed in my life. Then Blood Sugar was launched and I knew that was going to be my first Jeffree Star Cosmetics palette! Of course it took me a while to actually get my hands on it. When I finally decided to make it mine it had already sold out. So I waited. And waited. After another restock I was able to scoop it up. I’m so glad that I did!

I love the cute red case that the palette is housed in. It’s a little bulky, but it’s sturdy and I feel like it really keeps my shadows safe. The palette contains 18 eyeshadows including matte, metallic and pressed glitter finishes. The bold shades are what really caught my eye. There are a few neutral shades to tie it all together, but the bold shades are what really stand out to me. To me, these shades scream Jeffree Star! They’re bold and absolutely beautiful. This is the palette I was waiting for.

The shadows were all nicely pigmented. They applied and blended like a dream! Even the deeper shades! I thought for sure Coma was going to give me a hard time. It didn’t. In fact it’s one of my favorite shades!

You could very easily create a neutral look using Blood Sugar. But I have a feeling that if you purchased this palette you’re probably going to want to reach for those bold shades. Like Root Canal and Cherry Soda. Which is exactly what I did! You can see a few of my looks below.

Overall, I’d have to say I’m impressed. Blood Sugar is such a beautiful palette. I think if you were to ask me what my favorite palette is I’d have to go with Blood Sugar. Although that could change next week. Because y’all know I can’t settle on just one. But it’s my favorite for the moment. Unfortunately it’s a little too big to fit into my most reached for drawer. So I have it sitting on top of my vanity.

Have you tried anything from Jeffree Star Cosmetics? What are your thoughts on Blood Sugar?
