review: jay manuel beauty

I can’t quite explain it. The feeling I get right before I try out a new makeup brand. It’s similar to that butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling there is before testing out a new product. But bigger. More intense. There is an anticipation and joy like unlike anything else. I guess that is why I love makeup so much. It’s the thrill of the hunt. You never know when you will find a product that takes your breath away.

Knowing this….you can imagine my excitement trying out items from Jay Manuel Beauty. For the first time. Not only was this a new brand to me, but a brand from someone whose work I already admire. Not only was I giddy with excitement but I was a little nervous too. What if I didn’t like it? What if these products didn’t live up to my expectations? Were only okay? There was a part of me that desperately wanted these Jay Manuel products to be fantastic. To knock my socks off.

So, did they? Thankfully, they did. (It would be been a major disappointment if they hadn’t, to be honest!) I had already fallen in love with the sleek packaging. And I wanted desperately for the makeup to meet that standard. High expectations? Sure. But hey – nothing wrong with that. Why settle in life? Each one of these items - the eyeshadow quad, the powder foundation, the eyeliner pencil, and the lipstick - had its good points. Stunning colours, wonderful texture, and luxury.

Jay Manuel Beauty met my admittedly high expectations. It has been exciting to test out a bit of the line and see which products stand out. Want to see them in action? Find out how each one fared?
