Jordana Cosmetics

I own 3 colors which all look really good however the problem is these lip colors are very very drying and they flake. I noticed they flake on the middle part of my lips which makes me look funny if I don't touch up. They are also extremely drying. The only thing they have done well is create flattering shades.

Great eyeliner that is very expensive and goes on smoothly. I love the coffee bean color which looks great on anyone. I’ve used this eyeliner for the last 5 years and hope they do do not discontinue it.

Just found this at my local Walgreen’s, and I love it! I have sensitive skin, and I’ve also been dealing with some breakouts for a while (because I’ve had to take steroids), so I had to stop using setting powders on top of the tinted BB cream I use (Cetaphil redness relief day cream). Not being able to use powder means that I also needed to find a cream-based blush, and this one is perfect!

Think I paid less than $6, and the 06/Pink Nectar is the perfect shade to brighten up my cheeks. I like the natural “glow from within” look it provides, and I also appreciate that it doesn’t have a shimmer/glittery finish, like so many bronzers and blushes tend to have. I have been “blush free” for about 6 months because I couldn’t find a color that works for me (not in my price point, at least), and I like this so much I will probably buy a couple more just in case it is ever discontinued! Can’t say how well it works on lids or lips, but so far, this seems like the most perfect blush I’ve ever found!

Amazing contour stick and for such an affordable price! I apply it directly on my face and use a stippling brush to blend it out and it works perfectly. It blends very easily and doesn't look patchy. The color 01 Light is ideal for fair skin. Totally recommend this.

It was a little difficult to decide what score to give this one, because while I LOVE the deep raspberry color, I’m less than enthusiastic about the formula.

I’m not a fan of liquid lipsticks in general, and this one’s formula, while awkwardly runny when wet, is drying once it sets. The finish is absolutely matte, and it’s long-lasting. If you can get it on straight, you’re good for several hours; the color even persists through light meals. There’s a faint, slightly cloying scent/taste, but I find it easy to ignore.

I love Jordana, a brand which offers a large selection of good-quality, cruelty-free products in a wide selection of shades, and the color of this lipstick is delicious enough to make the drawbacks of the formula worth dealing with.

If Jordana would tweak the formula a bit to make it less drying, and replace the doe-foot applicator with a brush, I don’t think they’d be able to keep this one in stock!
