  • What's up everybody.

  • Welcome back to my channel.

  • Now, today I have something special for you guys.

  • This is highly requested.

  • Oh my God.

  • For the last few weeks ever since these launched I have heard,

  • "Jeffree, when the fuck are you gonna review

  • the Kylie Cosmetics Kylighters?"

  • And I'm over here like, "Well, I was waiting as well."

  • Okay, so I'm just gonna put it out there, as always,

  • you know me, Mrs. Honesty over here,

  • that Kylie's team always sends out a PR package

  • every time there is a new collection.

  • Whether it was the Valentines, the Liquid Lips, anything.

  • We always, and when I say 'we', I mean a lot of my fellow You Tubers,

  • like Manny and Jaclyn and Nikkie,

  • we always get the products sent to us prior to a launch.

  • Now, here's the thing, I only review things

  • that you guys want me to review.

  • So, am I dying every time to get something in the mail?

  • Absolutely not.

  • No shade.

  • But on a real level, if you guys highly request something,

  • of course I'm gonna film it.

  • So, the launch of the Kylighters was around the corner,

  • like, a week or two ago, and, crickets, there was not package.

  • So, I was like, what the fuck?

  • And I even tweeted @Kylie and I said,

  • "Hey girl, can't wait to try your highlighters."

  • And she wrote me back, "Hope you love them."

  • The PR package never came.

  • Now it wasn't just me, no-one got them, they were never sent out.

  • Of course, they launched first time, sold out in five minutes.

  • I was like,

  • "Oh, okay girl. I guess no-one's going to be able to try them before they come out."

  • So then, I was just in New York the past few days

  • and the second launch came out, and what happened?

  • They were sold out in nine minutes.

  • But, my friend and fellow You Tuber, Jkissa, happened to buy them right on the dot

  • and she got them in the mail and she graciously let me borrow them to try them out.

  • Because homegirl missed the motherfucking launch.

  • So, I have all of them here, you guys.

  • I have all six shades.

  • Jess did lightly swatch these but I've actually never tried them before.

  • So, I did my makeup today and I didn't do any highlight, obviously.

  • My face looks bare as fuck.

  • But I actually just landed from New York literally like a few hours ago.

  • Homegirl is jetlagged, but here I am.

  • And today we are going to swatch and try out all six Kylighters.

  • But before we dive into these swatches I gotta talk about the packaging

  • so we're gonna break it all down, you guys.

  • Packaging, prices, formula, smell, you guys know the drill with that.

  • So, if you wanna see these swatches and you wanna see them on my face,

  • then keep on watching.

  • So, I do have all six here today and I am going to show you guys the packaging.

  • So here is three out of six.

  • Now, they're very monochromatic.

  • So, the logo on the front is kind of hard to read,

  • you kind of have to move it around and it has like a glossy.

  • The unit carton is glossy but the text on the front is a more matte finish.

  • So, you do have to kinda move it around to see it.

  • It is kinda hard to read honestly, on a real level.

  • Now, when you flip them over it is basically a clear sticker with the information on it.

  • Alright, so when you open them up you get this little guy.

  • So, it matches the packaging.

  • Now, I will say this, from seeing them online

  • and I saw the cardboard component, I was like, oh my God,

  • I wonder if it's going to feel really light?

  • But, if feels heavy, like it feels like a mild little brick.

  • Like, it's not a flimsy type of thing, it feels heavy, which of course, I appreciate.

  • So, when you open it up, it looks like this.

  • There is a mirror which is nice.

  • And of course, you get the typical drip on the pattern

  • just like all of her previous packaging.

  • So, individually these are $22 a piece, which I think is a fair price point, maybe.

  • I mean, we're going to see if they work right, of course.

  • But I mean, obviously, she's not drugstore and she's not Chanel,

  • I think she kind of falls in the middle of that kind

  • of high end price point but not extreme.

  • Let me just look on the website, for $22 you get 0.34 ounces,

  • which is 9.50 grams for all of you people out there

  • that like to know the weight of everything.

  • Now, I always get asked like, "What do things smell like?"

  • And now I know when the peach palette came out everyone

  • was on a uproar because it kinda smelled, I guess, chemically.

  • Mine didn't personally, so a lot of people are like,

  • "Jeffree, you're lying to us, you're just saying you loved it."

  • The palette worked great for me as you guys saw on camera a month ago,

  • but it didn't really smell crazy to me.

  • But let's put this one to the test.

  • I mean, honestly, it doesn't smell crazy to me.

  • There's like a faint kind of like chemical smell,

  • but I honestly feel like it probably is like the packaging.

  • I mean, people forget that these pans are glued in.

  • I don't give a fuck what brand it is, whether it's Tom Ford or Wet n Wild,

  • everything is glued down.

  • So, sometimes there might be a fragrance that you are not used to.

  • I don't really know, I'm not sure about this brand, particularly,

  • but it doesn't smell crazy to me.

  • Now, I am gonna take my index finger and I am going to go like this.

  • Oh, okay, so there's my finger.

  • Now, I don't know what I was expecting, but it almost feels like not wet,

  • it's like a, hmm, it's not a wet feeling

  • but it is kind of like a creamy feeling, which I love.

  • I don't like chalky highlighters, I mean, who does?

  • So, this one actually feels nice so far.

  • One thing that I did notice that was a little weird was when you look at the unit cartons,

  • you see these shade names are on top.

  • This one is French Vanilla and then we have Strawberry Shortcake.

  • But then when you get to the Cotton Candy Cream it's like a sticker was placed on top.

  • So, I'm not sure if they didn't finish the packaging in time or what happened.

  • But I remember Kylie Snapchatting this in particular and she said,

  • "Oh, this is like a lab sample or one that was made for me to like take home."

  • But they're shipping them out with the label glued on the top.

  • Not that that's like a negative, it's just kind of something interesting

  • because the rest of them are screen printed on the unit carton.

  • But Cotton Candy Cream was not for whatever reason, I have no idea why.

  • I think it's only fair that we try a few colors on my face today.

  • We'll try my cheeks, maybe below the brow

  • and then I'm going to do all six swatches on my hand.

  • So, let's dive into it.

  • Alright.

  • So, I wanna try out this shade called Banana Split first.

  • It is literally like a pure gold color.

  • I think it looks really pretty in here.

  • Now, I'm gonna use two different brushes today.

  • I'm going to try one side of my face with a packer brush

  • and then the other side of my face I will do a fan brush.

  • So, I guess, let's dive in.

  • So, let's go in here.

  • Of course, it's a clean brush.

  • We're just going to put it around a few times.

  • Okay, I see you on there.

  • Now, the pigment on the brush is not insanely crazy

  • but let's see how it looks on the face.

  • And I'm just gonna use the mirror that's right here and let's give it a whirl.

  • Okay, hmm, now, the only reason why I'm pausing

  • is because you guys know I'm used to a blinding highlight.

  • Not that this was advertised as the most blinding thing on earth.

  • But, it's a lot more sheer than I think I expected.

  • Let me put on a few more layers, of course, that's only fair.

  • And let's see what they look like.

  • Okay, so, second layer it's definitely building.

  • It's not like it's falling off or the product is like coming off.

  • Okay, there we go.

  • It's looking a little more pretty.

  • So, this is the third go round with the brush.

  • Okay, that is really pretty.

  • It's not like one swipe is the most blinding thing on earth,

  • which of course, some people do not even want that.

  • But I am quickly just for fun gonna go on the website

  • and read you guys what the description of the product says.

  • Because I forgot to do that like I usually do.

  • So, this one says that this Kylighter single is your secret weapon

  • to create the perfect Kylie glow.

  • Each Kylighter single comes with one pressed illuminating powder highlighter

  • that can be used to recreate Kylie’s favorite looks or customize your own.

  • So, it really doesn't say if it's supposed to be blinding, it just says the glow.

  • Now, I know that Kylie herself is not the biggest highlighting fan,

  • she does not want to be dripping in metal.

  • Why not though, girl?

  • I personally love that effect.

  • But as you guys see in the camera it is blinding.

  • It's pretty.

  • I definitely had to add a few layers but that took like five seconds

  • so, I don't think it's really a negative thing

  • that it wasn't like metallic screaming in your face, you know what I mean?

  • So, let's try another color.

  • Alright, now I'm gonna try a little Morphe fan brush with the shade,

  • Strawberry Shortcake.

  • That is cute.

  • Now, I don't know what color this is,

  • it almost looks like a champagney like a pink color, so let's give her a whirl.

  • I'm just gonna go in with the brush over here,

  • get this nice and coated and let's try this cheek bone.

  • Ooh, okay, this does have like a faint kind of like pinkish tone to it

  • but it's very pretty, it's very champagne.

  • So, let me go in with a second layer.

  • Now the thing that I like about this, you guys,

  • is that it's not making my pores really stick out,

  • because some highlighters, oh my God, all of a sudden,

  • my pores are like screaming in your face.

  • But looking in the monitor and looking up close, it's pretty.

  • I think I already like this one a lot more than this one.

  • For some reason this one feels a little more, I wanna say like reflective.

  • So, let me put on a third layer.

  • You know me, I like to really layer it down.

  • This one is blinding, it's glowing.

  • Of course, this is now like, three layers on top.

  • So, if you really want that desired effect of like,

  • oh my God, you can see me from outer space, you definitely have to layer with these.

  • But, I really like this color.

  • I'm like, hmm okay girl.

  • Alright, let's try another one.

  • A shade that everyone was dying for me to try is the French Vanilla highlighter.

  • Now, this one looks really pretty.

  • It's almost like a yellowy white pale color.

  • So, I'm going to go in with a clean packer brush and let's just kinda hit my cupid's bow,

  • maybe the tip of my nose, like let's just get that glowy look going.

  • Now, let's hit the cupid's bow.

  • This one is definitely pretty.

  • I love how it's like, it's metallic,

  • it's almost more metallic than this one, to be really honest.

  • Now, I am gonna add a little bit on my chin as well.

  • I mean, this is a highlighting video, let's highlight our damned face.

  • Alright, so I'm going to use this little angled synthetic brush

  • and I'm just gonna go in here and go right below the brow

  • and see what kind of... Oh wow, okay, damn.

  • With the little brush, it almost made it look

  • way more opaque than when I went in with the highlighting brush.

  • I mean, that brow is lifted all of a sudden.

  • Good morning, surgery.

  • Alright you guys, I'm a little shook because for some reason,

  • the highlighting brush, I mean, they look beautiful on my cheeks,

  • I'm not gonna lie, but this made like the pigment show up a lot stronger.

  • I'm kinda like whoa.

  • But, wow, okay. Hmm.

  • So, since we've played with these for a few minutes

  • I think it's only fair that we swatch all the shades and then give you my final thoughts.

  • Alright, here is French Vanilla.

  • And here is Banana Split.

  • Here is Salted Caramel.

  • And here is Cotton Candy Cream.

  • Here is Strawberry Shortcake.

  • And then here is Chocolate Cherry.

  • Bam.

  • Alright, so swatching them on my hand, obviously,

  • you guys could see that they were a little more sheer than previous

  • highlighter review videos.

  • Like maybe the Nicole Guerriero or Anastasia palette,

  • when I swatched those on my hands they were blinding.

  • But of course, I feel like I'm gonna keep repeating myself.

  • If you do not want a crazy blinding look, then these are definitely for you.

  • But just swatched them on my hand,

  • some of them were a little sheer than others.

  • You can see that these two look a little more blinding than the rest.

  • And then these three, to me, look really similar.

  • So, I feel like there needs to be maybe more colors in the range.

  • I think this one and this one are really unique.

  • But these three are very similar.

  • Alright you guys.

  • So, I was pleasantly surprised with these.

  • I mean, you guys know I expect a really blinding highlighter.

  • I think my only thing that is a negative,

  • for $22 I expected like, the formula to be like unreal.

  • I think that when I used that synthetic brush for under the brow bone,

  • it showed up a lot more striking than on my cheeks.

  • I had to definitely go in with several layers.

  • And I think if you're gonna pay that amount of money

  • for something you really want it to work right away.

  • But, let's rewind.

  • You know there are, you know, drugstore highlighters

  • like Wet n Wild which are $4.99 that literally have maybe even more pigment

  • and are more blinding.

  • So, if you are someone that wants a little more subtlety,

  • I think that these are perfect for you.

  • Of course, you can wet the brush, you can make things more intense.

  • You saw what this did for under the brow

  • which I definitely will be using in future videos.

  • But all in all I think that they're cool.

  • They didn't like blow my mind.

  • I think the packaging's cute.

  • So, I know this may shock everyone but I'm really not gonna give

  • this a approval or a Jeffree Star disapproval.

  • This just really like, they're cute, I'm definitely gonna use them.

  • I wanna use them more, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

  • I would love to play around with them in future tutorials

  • and see if I'm really in love with them.

  • But right now, it's kinda like mediocre in the middle,

  • I did not fall in love with the Kylighters.

  • So, of course, if you guys try them, let me know

  • and sound off in the comments section down below

  • of what your favorite shade was.

  • Of course, you saw the hand swatches.

  • You saw the face swatches.

  • So, let me know what you loved best.

  • Thank you so much for watching another First Impressions video.

  • Let me know what you guys want me to review next.

  • There's so many products coming out and we're only into March.

  • I'm like, oh God help me, I'm like, if you guys saw my makeup desk

  • in front of me you would scream.

  • Whoever wants to come over and help me organize, I'll send you my address.

  • Alright you guys, thank you so much for watching.

  • I'll see you on the next one.

  • Mwah!

  • Bye, guys.

What's up everybody.
