These Easyshines are suprisingly awesome for only $2 a pop - they're like a threeway hybrid between lipstick, gloss and lip balm and as much as I love them, there are a couple of drawbacks.
The range of colours is pretty good, so there will be something for everyone, Berry Colada and Watermelon Juice are probably my picks for universally appealing colours. These apply pretty sheer but colour can be built up in several layers and the application is dreamy, smooth and slick without being waxy or overloaded in anyway. They have a great balm like texture and don't dry lips out. The deeper colours seem to last fairly well, though in my experience, the lighter, less pimented shades such as Pink Lemonade and Sugar Cookie seem to fade a bit quicker.
Each colour is also flavoured to match it's name, so artifical fruity scents abound. If that's not your thing, then feel free to skip these but I think it's fun and I appreciate them all being different, not some universal plasticky wax yuckness.
Super cheap, small but decent range of shades, lovely application, decent colour pay off (for the most part) and fairly moisturizing... what's not to love? Well, here goes...
The down side - while these are very small, which makes them great if you have very limited space, they contain less than 2g of product. Which is fine for the price they are, don't get me wrong, but most other lipsticks are usually about 3.5 - 4g minimum and glosses are usually 5mL plus so it's just something to keep in mind. Still great value considering the price but if you re-apply them often, you will go through them much faster than a regular sized lipstick or gloss tube, so be prepared to accept that.
The tubes are colour coded to match the stick colour but the lids are clear so you can see the worn down stub of product, which is never my favourite thing. But this is worse - the stick does not wind down fully into the tube so you risk nicking the top and sides if you're not super careful about removing and replacing the lid. Which kind of defeats the whole grab-and-go-glossy kind of vibe they have going on and if you're in a rush or not super precise, then you risk making a mess and/or wasting product, which is always disappointing.
If you have pigmiented lips, then shades like Fresh Melon and Cotton Candy aren't going to show up very well, if at all but they do add a nice shine and feel, so if you're happy with that, then go for it.
Overall, I have 6 or 7 of these and I enjoy them very much!

I first bought the Berry Colada which is like a toasted pink, i really loved it so i went and bought "brown sugar" to use it as a nude lip colour and Sweet Stawberry to use it as a bold red lip colour. I really like these lip balms cause theyre pretty sheer and soft. For that same reason the colour doesnt really last as long but when i want it to last i wear a really sticky lip gloss over it. The packaging isnt great though, the product doesnt go completely down the tube at first so it really easy to nick the product, the labelling also erases after a while.

This is a bright pink great for a pop of color or to brighten up your face. It's very moisturizing and fades into a nice stain. I just wish it didn't feel so slick and slightly greasy on my lips. Other than that, it's really nice

I have this in SB-03 Grape-Tini, which was a huge leap for me because I never thought I'd buy or wear a purple lipstick. Turns out that it's not overwhelming, and actually really flattering! The color is beautiful, the gloss slides on smoothly and it lasts a while (not through lunch, but you know). It smells like a grape-flavored Jolly Rancher, too! If you've ever tried NYX Black Label lipstick in Diva, it's very similar in look and texture. It's also only $1.99 on Jordana's website, so it's perfect for taking a plunge on a color you haven't tried before - like I did!

I bought the Jordana Easyshine Lipcolor in the shade Berry Colada several months ago at my local Walgreens for about $2. Initially, I was incredibly impressed with the level of pigmentation and the amount of moisture this product provided my lips. I really enjoy the smell, which is a very strong fruity scent, and the packaging is decent, but i wish the product went inside the tube all the way because the cap gets very dirty very quickly as it is practically impossible not to nick the product when taking the cap on and off. However, as I used the product a bit more, I discovered how easily the product wears off and becomes uneven on the lips. Also, when it does wear off, which happens within about twenty or thirty minutes for me, the glitter in the product still remains creating a very strange look. Now, if I wear it all I will just put a little on my lips and blend it out for a more subtle color that doesn't look as strange when it wears off. Overall, I do not really recommend this product because of the way it wears, yet the price and the moisturization of this product are both wonderful.

I have bought this product 5 times.
The watermelon one is a great color for me and is really nice.
It actually doesn't leave my lips but dries up on it and becomes somewhat of a lip stain.
Its a light color that is casual and GREAT for every day use.
I try everything else but i keep coming back to this lip gloss thingy.

EHMAGAWD! THIS IS THE BEST! I love love love this gloss here's why! First of all, the color is great. I got watermelon juice. It's reddish pinkish orange-y. It smells ah-mazing. Like watermelon! It's glossy at first, but when the gloss wears out, it's a lip stain! EH-MA-GAWDD! LOVE IT! GET IT! It's perfect! It also feels great on my lips. Also it's cheap! And for all ages! Light pinks will appeal to 10 under, mediums and reds for 11 up, and dark browns/purples for like 30 up! ALL THESE GLOSSES ARE GREAT FOR ANY AGE!!!!!!!! :)

XOXO, LipGlossAndCookies

What a great find, indeed! I've just purchased my second tube of this in Sweet Strawberry, which is a berry red. It can be applied lightly for a sheer look, or if you swipe it on repeatedly it can go quite a bit deeper in color yet still somewhat transparent, like a sheer or semi-sheer lipstick. Either way, it's very glossy and shiny, but with absolutely zero stickiness or thickness. Feels very light on the lips, and feels moisturizing while it's on.
This stuff does have quite a bit of slip to it, so it glides super smoothly on but may slide around on the lips a bit. The staying power is not the worst, but certainly not amazing - it will wear down to somewhat of a stain before disappearing, but personally I need to reapply every few hours or so.
Sweet Strawberry smells like its name, a synthetic, sugary fruit smell which doesn't bother me and doesn't taste like anything.
The packaging leaves a bit to be desired (skinny tube, use caution when replacing the lid so as not to nick the product itself), but considering the cheap price and how much I enjoy the product, I'll deal with it.
For what this product is, it's an excellent product. This would be a good choice for those wanting to venture into lipsticks but not make the full commitment of a creme or matte lipstick. Sweet Strawberry would be a great inexpensive option for somebody's "first red."
I'd like to try some of the other colors.
If any of this sounds appealing to you, give it a go because the price is right.

I love the smells for sure. I own a dark red one and a berry tones, the darker the better it shows, very sheer, and it has a very strong flavor and taste to it, it is awesome, staying power is very poor, but these are my very new favorite jordana products from Walmart. It does look natural looking definatly for sure, and it's worth the price, packaging is cool too

I do love this lip gloss! I'm pretty young, and this lip gloss is great to wear to school! The colors are sort of sheer, yet the color is noticeable. If you dry your lips before applying, it sort of acts like a lip stain. It lasts a while. The only color I have is Watermelon Juice. It ran out :( and I'm hoping to get more. Watermelon juice was perfect for me! It was light reddish pinkish. It was reasonably glossy and had a nice shine. I agree, the packaging made it a bit messy, and it makes it harder to apply when you're applying it in the bathroom and have to get to class!

I have the color Berry Colada and it's decently pigmented for something so cheap. It looks kind of trashy on me but I think that has to do with my coloring. The smell of it is too overpowering for my nose, but if you like the combo of watermelon and kiwi, it'll smell like heaven.After 10 min of wear it makes my lips burn. I don't really like it.

What a great find! I started reading some reviews on makeupalley and ran across the Jordana brand. Needing some cheap retail therapy, made my way to Duane Read and picked up the Easyshine Glossy Lip Color in Berry Colada. I love it! It is in fact very easy to apply, has a good lasting quality to it and love the color, which is a beautiful berry color with some gold shimmer to it. And, since I'm not a huge fan of super glossy lip glosses this is my perfect in-between product. I've worn it to work and out after work for drinks and it seems to work for both venues pretty well.

My only slight issues are the packaging, but for the price, no big deal and the smell is a bit strong for me. The smell itself is nice and fruity, but if they just toned it down a few notches, it would be perfect in my opinion.

Great product, amazing value. I really want to try this next in Sugar Cookie.

Love this! I was so surprised, especially when it was only 2.00. I got the watermelon, raspberry, and super red strawberry! I especially recommend the strawberry red one, because just a quick coat of it gives you a very wearable red lip for the daytime- pair it up with a darker red lipstick underneath for a bloodier red look! It smells great, tastes great, and has a great, glossy shine to it! It's very pigmented and lasts for a long time. I repeat, I love this!

I love it when I impulse-buy something and not only love it, but check reviews here and everyone else loves it too! I got this in Raspberry recently and it's great. Reminds me of my HG, the Korres Lip Butters. It's not as long lasting as those, but it's certainly a lot cheaper and looks and feels about the same on my lips. I'm going back today to buy more colors. I love everything about these.

I picked this up at the drugstore on a whim because it was only two dollars and I liked the color (I have sugar plum, which is a bright plum with no shimmer). I certainly got lucky. This stuff is incredible. This says "glossy" but it's really more just a soft shine. It has normal to short wear. The flavor and smell is very strong. It reminds me of candy flavored lipsmackers, which isn't ideal, but makes me feel sort of nostalgic. It's cheap, and yes, very easy. I adore this color. Will definitely be picking up more of these.

Although not perfect, for 2 dollars, you can't beat them. They have great pigmentation and last a fairly long time. I am a lifeguard and i like to wear them at work because they are decent at being mildly waterproof. I have found that the packaging is true to the actual color on your lips.
