Ever since Jeffree Star teased his all-new chrome collection for this year’s Summer we’ve been wanting to know when exactly will his brand be launching the entire trunk of metallic goodness. Then he had to continue toying with our hearts with this one beautiful rosy terracotta shade called Calabasas, which he used during a video tutorial — and since then it was impossible to stop pining for the launch date. Can you even believe all that happened just last month? As a friend very accurately pointed out, “these beauty influencers really know how to work their marketing tactics so bloody well,” — and we fully concur.
This June, Jeffree Star will be releasing his biggest collection yet — consisting of 8 Velour Liquid Lipsticks (that has the most amazing formula, hand over heart), 5 Lip Ammunition, 2 Skin Frosts and 3 new Lip Scrub flavours. They are all perfectly wearable shades, with beach-ready nudes and sunset mauves. And of course not forgetting the token over-the-top brights, ala Jeffree’s very over-the-top style.
Of course, the standout shades for us have got the be the nudes (the irony, yes). There’s Butt Naked, a peachy pink beige that’s a smidgen lighter than the existing Mannequin shade, and Hunty, a warm beige caramel hue should you prefer a colour that’s more inclined towards the brown side of things. And as mentioned earlier on, Calabasas is another favourite, coming in at a luscious burnt cranberry hue. The more adventurous might want to take their pick between Venus Flytrap, a bright lime green, and/or You Better Work, a luxurious red-based violet. There are six mattes and two metallics in the Velour Liquid Lipstick collection, and they will have a candied strawberry scent.
The Lip Ammunition set comes with five satin-finish bullet lipsticks. They do dry down matte, but have more of a creamy texture than the fully transfer-proof ones like the line’s liquid lipsticks. There are more nudes in this collection, which is always a good idea — but we’ve got our eye on Star Witness, a pinky coral with hints of orange in it.
Jeffree’s makeup lineup is also pretty darn famous for his highlighters, and the summer collection will have two new frosty glitters for popping cheekbones. Summer Snowcone is a pale yellow with gold shifts, that’ll look especially gorgeous with a beach tan. Crystal Ball, on the other hand, is close to an icy white with a pink cast — which will go very well on the paler folk.
The collection comes to a close with three new Lip Scrub flavours, namely Watermelon Gum, Blue Raspberry Sucker and Orange Soda. No one’s going to wear a matte lip without proper exfoliation, yes?
Prices start from US$12 for a Lip Scrub to US$195 for the JSC Lipstick Vault, that comes with all eight Velour Liquid Lipsticks and five Lip Ammunition. The entire collection will be available on June 24 at jeffreestarcosmetics.com, 10 a.m. PST (June 25 2 a.m. SGT).
