Jordana Cosmetics

Nice mascara, no crumps, but also no spectacular reviews.

I'm not sure if I am correctly reviewing this product, my tube of lipstick says "Modern Matte" and looks nothing like the photo. I purchased shade 03 Matte Frappuccino for $3. I'm a moisturizing lipstick user, so matte is usually not my forte. But, honestly I love the chic look of matte, so I try them anyway. This one for as affordable as it is, is surprisingly good. The color applies evenly and true to the color you see in the tube. The lid clicks into place very well. The packaging isn't embarrassing but is modern and discreet. It feels very creamy, but looks matte. It also stays very well (coffee drinker, smoker) stays where you put it, and fades evenly. The fragrance is that subtle fruit/lipstick smell you remember from childhood makeup, but not in a bad way. No chemical smell or flavor. It's actually nostalgic for me. Sadly, the color selection from Jordana in this particular formula is very limited, like four shades, most I have in other brands already. I wish there were more honestly. The Frapp color is beautiful for fall but a staple nude too in my opinion. Definitely worth the price and checking out if you love matte finish but don't like the dehydration that usually goes with it.

This product is very hit or miss depending on which shade you chose. I'll start with the hits, the good lipsticks take two or three swipes to become opaque, they have a slight vanilla scent to them but the scent does not last, lastly they are very affordable. Now for the misses, again the formula is not consistent so depending on the color you may get a bad shade that flakes, is streaky, fades within an hour or two, I remember the bright red one had a really obnoxious smell that lasted all throughout wear time. I can't remember all the good and bad ones, but Tiramisu was a really good formula and shade from what I can remember.
