Beauty Product Reviews

Very disappointed.

I purchased four shades of this new lipstick formula: Naked Body, Unicorn Blood, Malibu Beach House, and Honey, Suck Me.

Across the shades, the formula is peculiar. It feels like a flour and lip balm paste on your mouth. Not exactly unpleasant, but it does not feel like a normal lipstick.

There's a powdery finish that keeps things quite matte--velvet even! Unfortunately the finish contributes to the biggest issue with the formula: it does not sit smoothly on the mouth. You only get one swipe or it bunches up.

For the more normal shades Naked Body and Unicorn Blood, the coverage is acceptable. Unicorn Blood stains the lips, so do be aware. Malibu Beach House is quite patchy, as is Honey Suck Me.

What made me write this review is the shade Honey Suck Me. In daylight, the color looks completely different from the lip swatch. I expected a nice Mid Century coral (think Tongue Pop from Blood Sugar) and got Barbie pink, screaming blue undertones, which look awful on my very cool toned fair skin.

In summary, the least exciting shades were passable and the two interesting shades were unusable. Jeffree Star Cosmetics generally makes lovely products. But Velvet Trap? Hard pass.
