Give Your Lips A Pop Of Summer Color With Lime Crime

Posted by Janessa Jaye on June 8, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

I mean, I know that summer is low key cancelled thanks to Mean Miss Rona, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate the season with some fabulously tropical looks. Here to help us get a juicy pout, perfect for any socially distanced summer soiree, are the new Lip Pop Satin Lipsticks from Lime Crime. Before we get into the actual swatches, let’s talk about this packaging. I’m easily amused, and these lipsticks amuse me! They have a button on the bottom that you push to make the lipstick pop out of the tube. ...

Face Friday: The First Pride Was A Riot – Rainbow Eyes Feat. Black-Owned Makeup Brand Juvia’s Place

Posted by Janessa Jaye on June 5, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

Before we get started… Friends, there is a lot going on in the world, and my heart is heavy as I’m sure yours is too. I was very excited for June to roll around – I wanted to do a bunch of rainbow/Pride themed look and really “gay up” the makeup content for the month. I have already decided that I wanted to kick off the Face Friday posts for June with rainbow eyes using Juvia’s Place when I heard about the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. I was lost about what to do with this post, this...

Makeup A Murder: This Indie Brand Is So Colorful, It Should Be A (True) Crime!

Posted by Janessa Jaye on June 1, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

(Editor’s note: Happy Pride Month everyone! Given the state of the world and the fact that most of the typical June Pride events have been postponed or cancelled, don’t be surprised if you start seeing a lot more rainbows on this site, in this section and others. We’re making lemonade, y’all, and I hope you find some inspiration to get you through these difficult times and help you celebrate your pride in a safe, healthy, way! XOXO – Miss Jaye) What can I say: I’m a sucker for a good theme! I’ve...

You (High)Light Up My Life: Brightening My Mood With Devinah Highlighters

Posted by Janessa Jaye on June 1, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

Y’all, I’ve been in a mood today! It’s a weekend day (but these days, what even is time?!) and my time is my own, and I’m just in a mood. All of the flavors available in the world, and I’m choosing salty. I decided to turn this shit around and add a little light into my life – some highlight, to be exact! I recently picked up 9 new highlighters from Devinah, and nothing fills my blackened, withered heart with joy like playing with some gorgeous highlighters! All of the colors shown here are sold as...

Gentlemen Prefer Curated: Custom Collections For My Favorite Movie, Feat. Devinah Single Shadows!

Posted by Janessa Jaye on May 29, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

I’ve been enjoying the Palette Redesign series (if you missed my latest post reworking the Jeffree Star Cremated palette into a true gothic dream, you can find that HERE!) but sometimes I want to create something brand new! I’ve got a post coming soon about a palette that I created to celebrate one of my favorite horror movies of all time (hint: it just turned 40 this year!) but that one still needs some work before it’s ready to show off. So for this post, I decided to take my favorite movie of all time, Gentlemen Prefer...

Face Friday: Fraudulent First Date Glam Feat. Uoma Beauty & Juvia’s Place!

Posted by Janessa Jaye on May 29, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

Let’s be clear: the set up for the date might be fraudulent, but these products are legit! Oh, right. I suppose you need context. Did you know that recently I started my very own YouTube channel? If you missed the announcement, you can read all about it HERE! Anyway, I have a GRWM – a Get Ratchet With Me (my version of Get Ready With Me!) – where I painted a whole face using the Too Faced Tutti Fruitti collection. During the video, my friend Angie and I were joking about how John Cena is going to be my next ex-husband...

Prelude To Venus: You Knew She Wasn’t Really Gone…Right?!

Posted by Janessa Jaye on May 25, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

In a move that surprised literally no one, Lime Crime recently returned to their signature Venus eyeshadow palette line with two “Prelude” palettes. They had previously announced that they were retiring the Venus line with the Venus Immortalis (which I reviewed HERE). Then, during holiday 2019, they did a “just kidding!” move and released three of the Venux XS mini palettes…but swore that this time, like, for real, they were ending the Venus line. But makeup is like Hollywood: is something is successful, a...

Comes The Apocalypse! Making Quarantine A Little More Glam With The Lipstick Apocalypse

Posted by Janessa Jaye on May 25, 2020 in LifeStyle | 2 comments

Let’s get real for a second: I’ve been shopping my way through the apocalypse. I can try to dress it up as doing my part to keep stimulating the economy, but the truth is that I have been sublimating all of my feelings in food and shopping, neither of which is very good for me. But I do have to say that since the world turned upside down, I am finally starting to do some of the things that I have always said that I wanted to do, and that includes shopping from more indie brands. I have a lot of indie makeup, but I tend to stick...

Face Friday: Every Rose Has Its Thorn With This Floral Fantasy Look, Feat. Give Me Glow!

Posted by Janessa Jaye on May 22, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

Sometimes, even in the best of times, things go off the rails a bit. And these are definitely not the best of times! I had the new Give Me Glow Cosmetics Vintage Rose palettes (which I reviewed HERE) and I thought, “I should do a soft, romantic look inspired by vintage florals!” You know, something pretty, and striking but in a subtle way. Here’s where we ended up. Yeah… I think my “take it down a notch” gene is missing…or broken. But even if it’s not what I intended, this fantasy-style...

Redesign Series #7: Jeffree Star’s Cremated Palette

Posted by Janessa Jaye on May 22, 2020 in LifeStyle | 0 comments

Hello, and welcome back to my redesign series! Hi! How are ya?! It’s been a minute since I did a makeup redesign, but since Jeffree Star announced the launch of his newest palette, Cremated, along with a small collection of other products, I thought it might be a great time to do a redesign! I kind of like the palette for what it is, and even if I don’t buy it on launch day I will probably end up with it in my collection, but in the reveal video he kept talking about gothic darkness…and this palette isn’t dark. Not...
