Jeffree Star has plans to release new beauty products in 2020 – but first, he’s discontinuing some fan-favourite items.
On Tuesday, the makeup mogul announced on Twitter that his namesake brand, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, would be discontinuing the Thirsty and Alien eye-shadow palettes. The first eye-shadow palette launched during summer 2018, and the latter product was released alongside the brand’s 2018holidaycollection.
“Good morning everyone… Yes the rumours are true,” Star wrote. “#JeffreeStarCosmetics is discontinuing the Thirsty & Alien eyeshadow palettes! Time to make room for all the new s— dropping in 2020!”

You can still purchase the Alien and Thirsty eye-shadow palettes, but for a high price
The Alien eye-shadow palette previously retailed for $US52, and the Thirsty palette cost $US48. At the time of writing, however, both products are not available on the Jeffree Star Cosmetics website. Similarly, the palettes are sold out on the websites of Morphe and Beauty Bay – two retailers that stock Star’s products.
It’s currently unclear if any brick-and-mortar Morphe stores in the US have leftover stock of either palette. Representatives for Morphe did not immediately respond when Insider reached out for clarification.
One place where customers can currently purchase both palettes, however, is eBay. Sellers on the online marketplace have both palettes listed for prices between $US38 and $US150 at the time of writing. Still, it should be noted that eBay is not a licensed retailer of Jeffree Star Cosmetics, so be aware that makeup from unlicensed retailers could potentially be used, or even counterfeit.

On Twitter, many people expressed frustration that they hadn’t purchased the palettes yet, and likely never will.

I'm sad to say that not only is the Thirsty Palette officially discontinued, but the Alien Palette as well. I was planning on purchasing it but I think I'll wait to get the Conspiracy Palette. My 2020 is off to a bad start y'all. Why @JeffreeStar https://t.co/GBHbOfe9uJ pic.twitter.com/IJzwozVR3U
