read moreMiss Jaye’s First Video Of 2021 Is A Celebration Of Black-Owned Makeup Brands
It’s a new year, but Miss Jaye is up to all of her usual shenanigans, bringing you more videos every “Tube Tuesday!” This past week, the first video of 2021 dropped and it was a celebration of Black-Owned Makeup Brands (as well as some discussion about the need to research the brands that you find to make sure they really are who they say they are!) with a bunch of fabulous products. Miss Jaye checks in on some brands from her first video to let you know how they turned out, discusses the politics of...
read moreAll Dolled Up: Trixie Mattel’s Colorful, Cosmetic World
So I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m generally not a huge fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the content creation juggernaut that it has become. I think the Season 13 queens are an interesting bunch, and definitely they are evidence that RuPaul is feeling the pressure of no longer being the only high profile drag competition series out there, but there is too much of it that just feels cookie cutter and samey samey; the queens that I end up becoming fans of (Bianca Del Rio, Jinx Monsoon, Ben Dela Creme) are the ones who are...
read moreGlamlite’s Latest Foodie Is A Nudie Cutie Patootie (I Know, I Hate Me Too!)
Sorry about that terrible rhyme, but I think I’m on a sugar high: Glamlite’s most recent Foodie Box collection is taking us on a trip into the Chocolate Factory? Got your golden ticket? The Foodie Boxes are something that Glamlite does from time to time to introduce or promote one of their collections. I think they may have had exclusive items in the past (though I’m not totally sure on that), but for the latest release, the Chocolate Factory, all of the products were available at a discount in the box, or also available...
read moreFace Friday: Georgia On My Mind, Feat. Black-Owned & Queer-Owned Makeup Brands!
Hello Champagne Dreamers and welcome to the first Face Friday post of 2021! I know, I know: I was supposed to have one up on the 1st, but I was on vacay and my jammies were just too comfortable, so I decided to skip a week and come back this week, just in time for Georgia to do the damn thing and flip the Senate blue! I was going to celebrate by rushing the capitol and starting a new Civil War, but the inbred cousin-fucker Trumpster Fire supporters were already doing that; never one to follow the crowd, I shifted gears and decided to do this...
read moreA Rare & Exotic Species: The Elusive Beauty Of Menagerie Cosmetics
Usually, if a brand is too hard to get ahold of, I give up. I have a lot of makeup…I mean, a LOT. I will probably survive if I don’t get that limited edition collection or the newest release. Sometimes the FOMO will hit and I’ll stalk it, but usually I just put it out of my mind. It’s the rare brand that can get me to keep checking back, watching for email updates, and keeping their products at the top of my list. Menagerie Cosmetics is one of those brands. I first fell in love with their liquid lipsticks when...
read moreThe Blush Journey Continues: Lunar Beauty & Melt Cosmetics
It’s easy to love an eyeshadow palette: silky gorgeous mattes and bright twinkling shimmers, vivid colors and rich neutrals. They have more show to them, more spectacle. As a reviewer, I think they are the most fun to play around with and review, and as a content consumer they are the most interesting to see talked about by others. Someone might only review one or two shades of a foundation range, for example, but a single palette can have a dozen different colors or more, and they can be combined in a variety of different ways. A...
read moreMiss Jaye’s Top 20 Of 2020 World Of Champagne Beauty Is Here!
Hey Champagne Dreamers! The end of a year brings with it a ton of review lists, and this is no different: Miss Jaye went back into the archives and looked at EVERY review published in 2020 to pick her top 20 of 2020 Beauty! She did a whole video about this list that is available on her YouTube channel as well (which we’ll include below) but we also wanted to put the list together here with links to the original reviews! A couple of notes on this list: She created the list from products that she reviewed in 2020, not necessarily that...
read moreFemme 4 Femme: Give Me Glow Vivid Rose Palette Gives Me Sweet & Sassy Perfection
Let me be real for a second: I order a lot of makeup during normal times, so when Black Friday weekend rolls around? I am buried in new products and more are still on the way (thanks Miss Rona!). I feel like every new product I open and try I want to say that it’s a new favorite, and I am a little impulsive so that is a very real possibility, but I feel like my love of the new Give Me Glow Cosmetics Vivid Rose palette is completely justified! First of all, this ain’t my first time at the rodeo: I did a review of the Vintage Rose...
read moreFalling Into The Trap: JSC Takes Another Pass At Traditional Lipsticks
Well, here we are again. Jeffree Star Cosmetics is giving stick lipsticks another chance with the new Velvet Trap lipstick. Three or four years ago JSC launched their first stick lipstick formula, Lip Ammunition, and it left a lot to be desired. Star himself noted in his launch video that the packaging on the Lip Ammunition wasn’t that great – I believe he said that the new packaging was “an upgrade” but the original packaging was cheap plastic garbage. #SorryNotSorry I was thinking about skipping this release, and...
