The notorious innovators that brought us the Unicorn drops, Farsali, is now releasing another super exciting NEW innovation – check out their Jelly Beam highlighter launching on Wednesday, 11.01! This new highlighter is special because it’s NOT a liquid, cream or powder… it’s JELLY! What?! Let us explain.
You already know Farsali loves coming hitting us with something we’ve never see – or felt – before. They totally took over social media with the Unicorn Essence drops, remember those?! I think this new release might be giving the unicorn tears a run for their money! The super unique jelly formula of the Jelly Beam highlighter is the result of Farsali’s newest skincare concoction. It’s created to keep your skin moisturized AND protected while providing the POPPIN’ glow! The shade, called Glazed, applies as a light, iridescent gold in a wet-satin shimmery finish. But guys, it’s more than just a highlighter – this can be used as that, though, on the cheekbones OR mixed into foundation OR as an eyeshadow OR as a lip topper OR on the body, like shoulder and collarbones for that real gleam! Though the formula goes on like jelly, it sets down to a powder finish (which is super trip and we REALLY need to get our hands on this so we can play with it!) Doesn’t this product just sound fun?! What it also sounds like is, yesssssssss you guessed it, EXPENSIVE! We haven’t heard what it will retail for, but if the Unicorn Essence at $54 (a similarish type of skincare product) is any indication, we can all prepare to drop a pretty penny on this pretty jelly.
Hi Shannon. I just wanted to let you know that I think you’ve created an amazing institution with Makeup FOMO. I only found you a few months ago (weeks?), and I think you do a sterling job with your reviews, news, videos. I now follow you on YT too and I just wanted to give you some encouragement as you’re always so upbeat and smiley.
I’m a British supporter so unfortunately, I rarely get an opportunity to buy many of the products you mention. Although Beauty Bay tries hard and did get into Farsali, Juvia’s Place & Coloured Raine (thank God!). Buying from the States often costs over $20 shipping and if the products cost over $25 I get customs duty here – Royal Mail charges me $12 just for RECEIVING IT!! Then the government whacks on 20% VAT. So my Concrete Minerals order for $20 ended up costing me over $45 recently.
Now there’s an Indie brand I recommend you check out.
Anyway, Shannon. I’m Alison, a 47 year old fan, and I hope you keep this up and go from strength to strength. Big hurrays from the UK xxx
Oh my goodness, you must be the sweetest thing. thank you so so much for the kind words, that is seriously so heartwarming! It makes me feel so great to know there are ladies out there enjoying our content! It means so much to us that you took the time to stop by & comment! Readers like you make this even more fun for us! And also thank you so so much for subscribing on YouTube! I’m obviously super new to it but I’m having so much fun with it and I love that you’ve gotten a chance to check out the videos! Britain, wow! that is just so so cool… I actually do a pretty decent British accent if I do say so myself 🙂 isn’t it just awful how expensive it can be to get the newest products over there?! I have never heard of Concrete Minerals but you knowwwww we are totally going to check it out! Thank you so much for the recommendation! And again, thank you so much for the support, it goes so so far. Cheers from the US! xxx
I’m so pleased you were heartened by my comment. I was told by a new YouTuber that all the work going in to uploading a video and then to have no comments or “Likes” could be soul-destroying and so I promised Sammie from thereonin, I’d look for new content makers and always support them. So long gone are my days of being a subbie to Tati et al. And besides, I find her, in particular, very fake. New YouTubers need all the dynamic content and support they can get. I know I’d be disillusioned by lack of support. So from now on, I’m your no. 1 UK fan 😊😘
In your reviews, alongside US brand Concrete Minerals, also check out tiny Russian company Sigil (pronounced sidjill). Website Sigil.me. Your heart will beat faster and faster as you view the incredible duochromes! A 350 rouble purchase for their standard 2g loose pigment is $6.5. However, I’ll warn you to communicate via Google Translate, as they don’t reply in English!
One of your blog posts is always of keen interest to me – your Calendar Launches. That was a really great, and unique idea. Kudos to you and Kenn for that idea. We’re far behind in the UK, but it does give me a heads up to what *may* come on Beauty Bay or Cult Beauty 🤞🏼.
I really hope you check out Concrete and Sigil. They’re fab. And buy the new Juvia’s Place Saharan II. It’s STUNNING! Far nicer than Zulu. They’re a brand whose price point is so cheap, I don’t pay Customs – just international delivery of…gulp…$21!!! That is a big gasper – especially when Concrete charge $6 international and it takes the same amount of time!
May I please be cheeky and ask that, if you do purchase Concrete (and I HIGHLY recommend the Black Magic and Mermaid collections), you PLEASE do a video on using them. As being a 47 year old Beauty Junkie of only two years, and formerly used to swiping a bit of mascara and eyeliner on my face, over tinted moisturiser, I’m simply planning on pressing them, once my pans arrive via eBay. So please open up to the wonderful colours available – I’m a staunch Bright Colours, sod the Boring Browns Activist!
I think you’re both super. And Shannon, if you ever think, “Oh, what’s the point?”, remember there’s a UK subbie who’d miss you 😘!
As a final heads up, check out YouTuber, Angelica Nyqvist. I do NOT watch her for her makeup tutorials…and nor do I wear colour on my lids like her 😳. But she only seeks out Indie brands, and also speaks the truth about palettes and how we’re often misled. Especially with Morphe, ABH and Natasha.
Keep up with the great work! Don’t forget that all your smiling and sweet nature will lead to wrinkles. All my gales of laughter and happy nature have left me covered in “Laughter Lines”…AKA…WRINKLES 😂😂😂. So be a miserable bugger like my older brother. He’s 55, but looks in his 40s – hahaha!
Much love, support and appreciation being sent across the Atlantic to you 😘❤️. Thank you xxx
Ahhh, you are too sweet! I totally agree, some of the big YouTubers do seem kinda fake now, right?! I love watching smaller YouTubers because they put so much heart into their content. That is so sweet of you to be so supportive!
WOW, how do you stumble upon these small foreign indie brands?! They sound so interesting! I just checked out their site and OMG! I can’t understand a word but I know a beautiful product when I see one! Thanks for the recommendation 🙂 And I’m so glad you love the calendar! That was actually all Kenn’s idea (he’s kind of brilliant and very creative). I do think that’s what makes our site a bit unique and we love to be able to help you guys out! And yes, it also gives people overseas something to look forward too! But you guys actually have some amazing brands over in Europe that I am so jealous of – Sleek is now FINALLY in Ulta here but you guys have Zoeva and Borjuos (did I spell that right?) and all of those lovely brands we cant get our hands on! And yes, I already have the Saharan II! I am so excited to use it! I definitely plan on spending more time on Concrete’s website ! I’ve peeked at it and everything looks sooooo cool! I would absolutely do a video on it, for sure!
OMGGGGG I LOVE ANGELICA! I actually found her very recently and have only seen a few videos but she is ADORABLE and I just love her accent! You have such good recommendations, keep them coming! We appreciate you so much! 🙂
Sorry, I meant to ask, what does FOMO mean?! Don’t forget, I’m old enough to be your mum 😜
