Face Friday: Miss Jaye Gets Back Into The Swing Of Things With A Full Face Of Fenty Beauty!
Ugh, it’s been so long since I did one of these! I’m excited to be back with another Face Friday walkthrough, and I’m especially excited to give you a full face of Fenty Beauty! I recently did a video that was 12 Black Owned makeup Brands (BOMBs) that aren’t Fenty and Pat McGrath. I didn’t mean any disrespect to those brands, but they are already pretty established and don’t need that much more hype to be successful. So when a whole bunch of prominent YouTubers started doing “Full Face of BOMB...

This week’s video from Miss Jaye combines her love of Geek and Gore: a Top 10 “Fantasy Wish List” for Friday The 13th: The Game! Are you a F13 player? What kinds of new characters would you like to see added in to the game? How about new locations, new killer skins, or even new modes of game play? We’d love to hear about it, so be sure to leave a comment on the video! (PS – yes, we are aware of the lawsuit, and we are aware that Gun Media announced that they were no longer developing new content – if you...
read moreIs It Love – Or Is It Just Stupid? Haus Laboratories Stupid Love Palette Sings The Blues
As someone who grew up with all of the various incarnations of Madonna, from material girl to sex goddess to euro-trash cowgirl and beyond, it’s very interesting to watch Lady Gaga’s career grow and change. The constant comparison of Lady Gaga to Madonna is perhaps annoying to both women, but not completely unwarranted: both women tend to push the creative envelope and survive by continual reinvention; in the more capitalist sense, both have expanded their creative ventures from music/dancing into acting and product development....
read morePrelude To A Kiss (Goodbye?!) – The Final Lime Crime Venus Palette…For Now
I knew it was going to happen. I’m not much a completionist, but some things just get to me in that way, and the Lime Crime Venus palettes are like that for some reason. I picked up the Chroma palette back in May (that review is available HERE!) and I mentioned that if I had been able to get the Exposed palette on the Ulta site for half off, I would probably end up with it. Well, that’s exactly what happened, and here we are. I don’t for a second believe that Lime Crime is done with their immensely popular Venus line, not...
read moreMiss Jaye Hits It Hard With TWO New Videos This Week!
Miss Jaye has been busy on lockdown, honey! This week she’s got two new videos on her YouTube channel! First up is a sort of haul video, talking about makeup that she bought on a trip to Cork, Ireland last year. There are a ton of great Irish, UK, and European brands! The second video is the MY Beauty Community Tag, originally created by Kara C, and it’s a chance to spread some positivity and shout out favorite beauty space creators! While you’re there, don’t forget to give the videos a thumbs up, and subscribe so...
read moreMiss Jaye Launches New Series On Her YouTube Channel: Don’t Drink & Drag!
Hey there, Champagne Dreamers – are you ready for some drunken shenanigans and mediocre makeup skills? Then get ready for Miss Jaye’s newest YouTube series: Don’t Drink & Drag! The premise is simple: mix up a few cocktails, pick a makeup look from a popular YouTuber or Instagram beauty, and try to recreate it while drunk without putting out an eye with a new eyelash tool! For the first episode, Miss Jaye is playing with Lady Gaga’s own Haus Laboratories, recreating a Trans Pride flag-inspired look done by the...
read moreThe World Of Champagne Is On Lockdown – But Still A Great Time For A Vacay!
Hey there Champagne Dreamers! We hope you’re all doing well, keeping yourselves safe and sane while the world is dealing with the current pandemic. Even though it’s still important to quarantine and stay socially distant, it doesn’t mean that it’s not a great time for a vacation – well, more like a STAY-cation! There’s a lot going on around here, and we’re getting ready for another World of Champagne anniversary coming up in August, so for the month of July we’re taking a bit of a break from...
read moreGoodbye, JSC
This is going to be a rather long post, but let me give you the TL:DR up front: As of July 2020, I have decided that I will no longer be reviewing Jeffree Star Cosmetics products on my website, the World of Champagne, or my YouTube channel. I am not disposing of my products, as that kind of waste is not something I support, but I will not be featuring them on my channel. I may occasionally use a product I already own in a Face Friday post if I don’t have a viable product alternative available for the look I want to create, but my goal...
read moreMiss Jaye Is Bringing Sparkle Back (YEAH!) With New Jewelry Collection!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling the quarantine blues! I’ve been “painting my way through the apocalypse” with my Face Friday posts, which has been fun, but once I paint the face and take a few pics, I wash the makeup off. I hadn’t really made anything tangible for a while. I also hadn’t had a jewelry sale for a while – I have a virtual job, so I’ve been lucky that the whole lockdown and quarantine thing hasn’t really impacted me financially aside from losing money...
read moreRaising The Bar: Trying Out New Lip Products From BOMB The Lip Bar
Ugh, do you ever have one of those experiences where you try out a new brand, and then you kick yourself that you didn’t try them out earlier? That’s how I’m feeling about The Lip Bar right now. I’ve known about them for a while, and I’ve even seen some of their products at Target, easily accessible to my impulse-purchase-prone little fingers. I’m not sure why I’ve never tried them out, but it just never seemed to be the right time. As there has been more discussion of black-owned makeup brands...
