A Comprehensive Review Of The Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mystery Box

Sharing my unbiased review together with my experience purchasing a Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mystery Box from his Valentine's Day 2020 collection. 



There's no denying that Jeffree Star Cosmetics has some of the most visually satisfying together with well-formulated eyeshadows on the marketplace position right now. Whether yous similar him every bit a individual or not, that's for yous to decide. For me, I've been a fan of his since his MySpace days. I don't 'stan' him, past times whatsoever means, but when his novel YouTube video comes out I volition absolutely drib whatever it is I am doing to spotter it. Or when he has a novel makeup collection release, I volition purchase at to the lowest degree 1 item from it each fourth dimension something comes out. But that's because I have got seen firsthand that the bulk of the products he has released from Jeffree Star Cosmetics have got had incredible formulas, gorgeous pigments, playful shades of color that many mainstream cosmetics companies are afraid to learn closed to, together with because I savor the aesthetics of his packaging. 

But despite the fact that nosotros were MySpace friends dorsum inward the twenty-four hr menstruum together with spell he was on Warped Tour, together with despite the fact that I savor watching his YouTube videos together with loved the serial he did amongst Shane Dawson, I am yet able to come upward to my ain determination nearly whether or non the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mystery Boxes are really worth the chance together with shelling out hundreds of dollars to buy. 

I went out together with bought my outset ever Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mystery Box--and I won't prevarication to you, I was really hesitant to exercise so. I consider myself an informed buyer together with I volition question a production thoroughly before I attempt it. But to fork over to a greater extent than coin than I pay on my telephone neb inward a calendar month to a companionship inward hopes they volition surprise me amongst makeup that non only performs good but also promises to live on something I volition like? That's really really hard for someone every bit controlling every bit I am. 

So I thought, for the sake of journalism, I catch my wallet together with exercise some investigating for anyone out at that topographic point who likes the thought of exclusive cosmetics but is fearful of surprise. 

Today, I am sharing my unbiased review (and unboxing via images) of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Valentine's Day Mystery Bundle. 

Please note, the whole betoken of his mystery boxes is that no box is the same together with the products volition vary. What I received inward my box could live on solely unlike from what someone else received who bought the same mystery box. And the same goes for futurity mystery boxes---this post isn't meant to live on the end-all guide to what to hold off from a Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mystery Box. I only wanted to accept the chance to portion my experience from start to destination of buying a product, together with portion whatsoever pros together with cons for those who are considering purchasing a mystery box inward the future. 




What Exactly is a Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mystery Box?

His mystery boxes ordinarily comprise an item that volition never live on made again. Meaning, if yous don't purchase into a Jeffree Star Cosmetics mystery box, yous volition missy out on the production he releases. Forever.


The most exciting appeal nearly his mystery boxes is the fact that he volition never release these products ever again. So whatever shades of lipstick--or fifty-fifty palettes--he makes for this Valentine's Day launch volition only live on available this 1 time. After that, the products won't ever live on made again. So the exclusivity of it all is beyond exhilarating for those who have got a deep appreciation for collecting items every bit good every bit those who have got a passion for makeup.


For this detail launch, Valentine's Day 2020, he released three levels of mystery boxes. Each box is a unlike tier together with every bit the cost goes upward the value of the items goes upward amongst it. For example, the lowest tier box is called the "Premium" mystery box together with goes for $60 (this promises 4 items together with three of which are exclusive to this collection). The side past times side tier is the "Deluxe" mystery box that costs $100 together with contains six items (3 of which are exclusive to the collection). Finally, the most expensive box that runs for $145 is known every bit the "Supreme." The "Supreme" mystery box has 12 items inward it, together with five of these items are Valentine's Day launch exclusive items. Meaning, they volition never live on available for sale ever again.


Before the Launch:

Leading upward to the launch, Jeffree Star together with his official Jeffree Star Cosmetics social media squad volition tell everyone what levels of boxes at that topographic point are every bit good every bit a full general thought of the variety of items to hold off within without ruining the surprise. He volition also tell us what twenty-four hr menstruum together with fourth dimension the official launch is, together with encourage everyone to laid a timer since his products typically sell out completely on the same twenty-four hr menstruum if non within just hours of the launch on his website.


Jeffree Star Cosmetics is notorious for having epic launches---whether it live on epically amazing or an epic fail, all eyes are on his website leading upward to the launch. Known for having major crashes, electronic mail confirmations non existence sent out, together with massive delays inward shipment, Jeffree hasn't precisely had polish sailing on his prior launches just due to his massive popularity together with his fulfillment squad non live on able to run into the excessive demand.


For this detail launch, I laid 2 alarms on the morning time of Jan 31, 2020. One just xv minutes before the launch, together with 1 five minutes before the launch. About five minutes out from the anticipated 10am PST launch, I sat downward at my estimator to learn cook to become to his site right at 10am PST when the mystery boxes were supposed to live on available for purchase.


The Launch:


Well, some other somewhat failed launch for the Jeffree Star Cosmetics company. 


Thousands of people who tried to usage the website on their phones (as opposed to on a estimator similar I was) were unable to remove the dropdown box that allowed them to selection which size mystery box they wanted. The "Supreme" mystery box, which was the 1 that I ordered, sold out inward just 8 minutes according to Jeffree's tweet


For nearly some other 20 minutes or so, the "Deluxe" tier box was yet available until that sold out before the outset hr ended together with only the "Premium" small-scale mystery boxes remained. 


It was unfortunate to reckon together with hence many people online tell they had issues on their phones together with were unable to learn the mystery box they wanted due to website issues. Jeffree's had many website issues before, together with this launch was no different. 


That said, I was 1 of the fortunate ones to learn my "Supreme" mystery box ordered together with I received my lodge confirmation within minutes of purchasing. 


Unboxing:


I never really got my tracking number to rails the location of my package, but I got an electronic mail proverb my lodge was shipped just the same. 2 days after I got that email, my box was at my doorstep. For reference, his transportation fulfillment facility is inward California together with I alive inward Arizona. 

Here's what I got inward my box:





Exclusive Jeffree Star Cosmetics Valentine's Day Tote Bag 

There's no denying this pump candy impress is cute every bit hell. But the lineament of this bag? Awful. 


I was dreadfully surprised when I touched it how inexpensive together with poor lineament it felt. I had expected to a greater extent than from a Jeffree Star Cosmetics item. Admittedly, I won't live on keeping this bag. 

Exclusive Jeffree Star Cosmetics Valentine's Day Pink PopSocket®


I have got never owned a PopSocket® because I never felt similar it was something that I needed. It's non something that I would have got especially expected to brand it my mystery box, but I don't loathe it. I may destination upward trying it out to reckon if I similar having one, but I'm unsure if it volition go amongst the telephone instance that I have got on my iPhone right now.  




Exclusive Jeffree Star Cosmetics Valentine's Day Maroon Side Bag


This is absolutely non my sense of savor or my fashion of pocketbook that I similar to wear, together with hence I was non excited to reckon this inward my mystery box. A lot of people dearest athleisure have on together with become for the streetwear fashion side bags, but it's just non my loving cup of tea. Unfortunately, I won't live on keeping this pocketbook together with volition either resell it or give it to a friend who wants it. 


This side pocketbook seems to live on made together with manufactured good together with it's a prissy color, but it's definitely non my fashion together with handbags are together with hence personal together with hence I experience similar it's non a adept thought to include inward a mystery box, but that's the chance yous accept when yous opt to purchase into a surprise.


Exclusive Jeffree Star Cosmetics Valentine's Day Hot Pink Chrome Approved Hand Mirror

This is the 1 merch item I was the most excited about, together with my Valentine's Day mystery box manus mirror is already on my vanity side past times side to my Shane Dawson Sus scrofa mirror. It's a gorgeous hot pinkish chrome color, together with it has a nostalgic shape to it that reminds me of makeup items from the 90s. 




Exclusive Jeffree Star Cosmetics "The Gloss" inward the shade "Softcore Sparkle"

You mightiness non think that majestic glittering lipgloss is your thing, but when yous swatch "Softcore Sparkle" or apply it yous respect out just how gorgeous it is. This shade is similar if a Unicorn went on a Valentine's Day appointment amongst a vampire. It's got a pretty, whimsical shade to it but inward the light, it glimmers wet, shiny, together with gives me a goth glam vibe. I absolutely dearest this gloss shade!


The Gloss inward the shade "Ice Cold"

So out of the 2 glosses I got, this is 1 of the shades that's non exclusive to the Valentine's Day launch (i.e. yous tin purchase it on his website when it is dorsum inward stock). This lip gloss is a lot sheerer than the "Softcore Sparkle" shade together with it has cool-toned pearls inward it, together with it's definitely a beautiful gloss. The formula is great, together with it's non also sticky. 




Brainfreeze Skin Frost™ Pro Palette


While I am swimming inward highlighters right now, I won't ever plough away a novel highlight to try. I recall when this came out together with I thought how cute the packaging was, but I never ended upward buying it. To me, $40 seemed similar a lot to commit to a palette that had only a few shades I really wanted to try.  Which is why I didn't destination upward buying it. But straightaway that I have got it, I am happy to attempt some of these shades. 


While I haven't worn every shade yet, I am hesitant to have on "Cocky" together with "Statuesque" because they are real warm toned together with may non expression flattering on my fair pare (and may flatter darker pare tones amend than my ain pare tone). But "Freeze Tag" volition live on my go-to wintertime highlighter when I am traveling inward Alaska afterwards this month, together with "Frozen Fruit" volition live on such a gorgeous saltation highlight that should duo beautifully amongst the pastels together with pinks. 

Blue Blood Eyeshadow Palette


I already ain the Blue Blood palette. I absolutely LOVE Blue Blood. 


But....I don't demand a 2nd palette right now.

*shrugs* 

Velour Lip Scrub inward "Rootbeer"


This is the 1 makeup item inward my box I genuinely was non happy to get. I loathe anything root beer flavored or scented.

Velour Liquid Lipsticks inward the shade "Romeo"

The shade "Romeo" is a beautiful neon pinkish together with should expression really prissy amongst my exclusive lip gloss. It's a brighter color that I think volition live on fabulous to have on afterwards inward the saltation together with summertime months, together with it's most definitely coming amongst me inward my go pocketbook when I become to United Mexican U.S. this spring. 


Velour Liquid Lipsticks inward the shade "Doll Parts"


I have got been using some of his nude liquid lipsticks for years, but I was together with hence excited to reckon some pinkish shades inward my mystery box that I have got never used before! "Doll Parts" is a gorgeous cool-toned pinkish that was 1 of his before shades he came out amongst when he started Jeffree Star Cosmetics. 

Velour Liquid Lipsticks inward the shade "Restraints"


This was variety of disappointing to see. But, at to the lowest degree the "Restraints" shade seems mildly wearable. 


One matter to proceed inward hear nearly his liquid lipsticks is that they tin live on used on the eyes, together with hence I think I volition destination upward using this shade every bit a liquid gunmetal eyeliner every bit opposed to an actual liquid lipstick. 

"Restraints," spell it's non my favorite liquid lipstick shade, is yet a fun play on the darker together with sexier side of the Valentine's Day theme. 




Cons:

#1 The launch was, together with ever seems to be, a nightmare.

Jeffree together with his squad yet have got a lot of go to exercise when it comes to figuring out how to grip the massive demand from consumers during launch day. During prior launches, I have got been 1 of the people who missed out on a production due to a website glitch together with hence I know what that feels like. But the fact that he's had numerous launches together with has yet to figure out how to learn his website/Shopify to go correctly is a flop. You cannot learn emotionally invested inward whatsoever of his products until yous really have got a confirmation email. Otherwise #TheFOMOisreal 



#2 You may learn something yous already own.

I am already a regular Jeffree Star Cosmetics consumer, together with hence for me, I received an item that I already ain together with usage inward my mystery box. Whether yous desire to reckon this every bit a pro or a con is solely upward to you--my optimistic side thinks, "awesome! When I hitting pan, I have got a back-up cook to use!" But if yous wanted an solely novel laid of items together with yous regularly store Jeffree Star Cosmetics, yous could in all likelihood hold off to have at to the lowest degree 1 item that yous already own. 


Luckily, my repeat item is my absolute favorite matter I've ever bought from Jeffree Star Cosmetics together with it made it onto my listing of 'best of beauty 2019' listing (which yous tin banking concern tally out hither if yous missed it). I am non upset or piteous I got a Blue Blood eyeshadow palette inward my mystery box, but at that topographic point was a purpose of me that hoped it was a palette I didn't already own, such every bit the Alien palette, together with hence I could explore novel eyeshadow shades. But hey, a mystery is a mystery!


#3 Or worse, yous learn something yous hate. 


I downright loathe the root beer flavor, together with hence for me, this was something I definitely exercise non desire together with volition non use. But honestly, if at that topographic point was only 1 makeup item that I knew I would non like, I think it's a pretty adept turnout. But frankly, this is the chance yous accept when yous commit to buying a mystery box. There is a adept chance yous may learn something yous exercise non want. 



Pros:

#1 You ain a few items that volition never live on made again, together with that's special!

The exclusivity of owning a few things that volition never live on made together with sold past times Jeffree Star Cosmetics ever 1 time to a greater extent than is the variety of thrill that would sway someone who's on the debate nearly buying a mystery box. 


#2 The retail value savings look worth it!

For the cost yous pay for the mystery box, yous are sure going to salvage coin amongst the box every bit opposed to buying everything for a regular cost on his website. 

#3 It's a fun way to #treatyoself

Sometimes nosotros all demand to halt together with process ourselves to something special that isn't for anyone else. For many of us, nosotros expression to store for clothing, accessories, together with makeup to invest inward our image. But what's unlike nearly buying a mystery box is you're basically acting every bit your ain Secret Santa. You have got no thought what you're going to get, but if yous know yous already similar most of Jeffree Star Cosmetics' makeup products, chances are yous are going to live on happy amongst what yous get. 

The Final Verdict?

I volition hesitate before buying some other mystery box.

Of course, at that topographic point are things inward my box I am real happy to have. But it hasn't won me over entirely. 

While I'm non super picky nearly makeup together with trying unlike shades, I was disappointed inward the other non-makeup items I got inward the mystery box. I know the hype is fun together with knowing that I have got a few items that volition never live on made again, but I don't think it was worth the coin that I spent; non because of the value, because I tin sure reckon the retail value inward this box, but shelling out every bit much coin every bit I did I was disappointed amongst almost one-half of the items I got either because I had it already, I didn't similar it, or I hated the scent/flavor. 

There were also many things I did non dearest inward my box that volition have got me second-guessing whether it volition live on worth investing inward some other 1 inward the future. 


Do yous know someone who is considering buying a Jeffree Star Cosmetics mystery box? Be sure to salvage this post for later.
