Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain



 A little late to the game, but I was able to purchase 6 shades to Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains. According to Jordana's website there are only 10 shades, therefore I almost have all the collection! While doing my review, what I was looking forward was to prove if the claims made in the official website were true or not.




Without further delay, I am going to describe the shades
  • Sweet Pink:        Bright pink, but unlike most lipsticks of the same shade it actually is flattering on me. 
  • Candied Coral:    A blue based barbie pink, almost neon.
  • Honey Love:       A brownish pink, the picture may not show it but in my case is a MLBB.
  • Cranberry Crush:Purple toned lipstick
  • Rock n Rouge     This shade is a pinkish red,of all the balms this is the one I find has the most shimmer in it.
  • Fresh Fig:            Mauve color, my favorite of them all.




 The balm stain do moisturize the lips, and their texture is very buttery. They color may fade, but the stain left behind is pretty.

 I am quite obsessed with them, and I wear them often to work or to run errands as a little color does brighten the face.

Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain: Review & Swatches

 As winter arrived, I knew that I had to embark on a quest to find the formula for perfect moisturized lips. For reference, during winter my lips get extremely chapped, to the point that my lips bleed and as you may imagine, it gets really painful and it not the prettiest image.
Another point that I always have in mind is the fact that I have a full-time job and sometimes is very hard for me to take a break to the bathroom and reapply my makeup nonetheless, I still want to look good for work!

 I came across a little shop where I found Jordana Twist &Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains. Being the impulsive person I am and resting assure on the quality of good ol' Jordana products, I decided to buy all the shades they carried in that moment (plus, I got a little discount which is nice!).
 
  Judging by the package -which you can check below-, I imagined I got a quite big range of tones albeit a tad dark.
(Lto R: Fresh Fig, Rock n Rouge, Cranberry Crush, Honey Love, Candied Coral, Sweet Pink).

 But they are kind of similar one to another. They are not exactly the same, but as you can see in the swatches, at least on my lips (my natural lip color is a brownish pink shade) and against my skin color (somewhat between the ranges of NC20-NC25), there are subtle diferences.

(Top L to R: Sweet Pink, Candied Coral, Honey Love.
Bottom Lto R: Cranberry Crush, Rock n Rouge, Fresh Fig)

 Sweet Pink is a very cool pink shade, what I consider Barbie Pink. Candied Coral is a warmer shade of pink, it does not looks orange on me. Honey Love is a brownish pink color, it is a little lighter than my natural lip color and I feel it wears me out. Cranberry Crush is a mauvish tone, my favorite of the bunch. Rock n Rouge is a bright, fun reddish pink. Fresh Fig is also gorgeous, it is a tone down Cranberry Crush. 

 Formula wise I found that they are all the same, the color is a little bit sheer, very glossy, it is very buildable. As the name states, they are very moisturizing and they provide shine. Also, they leave a very beautiful stain, which is a huge pro! They have a noticeable smell, very fruity, it almost make me want to chew them.

 Regardless of what it may sound, I actually am really pleased with the purchase, the only color I don't really like is Sweet Pink as it is such a cool and light shade so it clashes with my complexion.

 I recommend them if you want humectation and a glossy finish.

 Have you tried them? How would you compare them against the many similar products from other brands that are currently on the market?

Jordana Matte and Jordana Lipstick Swatches & Review

 Hello to everyone!

 This is my first post, and I am going to talk about one of my favourite brands out there, Jordana.

Their products have great quality, awesome prices, they have never make me break out, and in the most part they are easily avaiable for me.

 So, today I am going to be reviewing 2 different kind of lipsticks: Jordana Matte Lipstick (the golden one) and Jordana Lipstick (the silver one).


From L to R: True Red, Pink Passion, Blazing Mango, Natural, Blushed



 To start I must say that the Matte Lipstick is a tad more drying than the regular one, which I feel a bit mosturizing. All of them are scented, which means no problem for me but I do know some dislike any kind of scent in their make up.

 They have good staying power, they are not long lasting so if you eat or drink heavily you must reapply. I do notice most of them leave a beautiful stain.

 The most common complaint about these lipsticks must be the packaging, which I admit is kind of cheap, but in my experience it has never opened on my purse (unlike other lipsticks such as Nyx).


 Here are the swatches: 


From L to R: True Red, Pink Passion, Blazing Mango, Natural, Blushed

After pouring water twice over the swatches:

From L to R: True Red, Pink Passion, Blazing Mango, Natural, Blushed


 Their color range is huuuge, you can check them out in the Jordana website.

Now, for individual reviews.

True Red

The color is definitely not "True Red", I would call it more of a magenta red, a really beautiful color but not what I expected at all. I had to swipe it 2 or 3 times to get full opacity. This must be the most lasting lip color in this post, could it be that Jordana regular lipsticks are more long lasting or just this color? I must try more to know.


Pink Passion


I wanted to love this color, I really did, but this looks just off. I have been looking for the perfect light pink (which I think I found on Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart), I looked for reviews online but it is not that easy to find (therefore I decided to open this blog) and when I found, this color looked beautiful but on my lips not so much. It is really blue based and it is opaque, but it just washes me out, for reference I am NC25 on MAC.  If you like baby pink lipsticks, you should try this. As for the formula, is not mosturizing maybe a little bit drying, but my lips are in a bad condition due weather (you can clearly see some flakes on the picture).


Blazing Mango

 Blazing Mango is a beautiful coral color, it is really bright and I just could not capture it on pictures. It is really a fun color, I think is most suited for summer or sunny climates. This was the most drying lipstick of all, though. 


Natural

Natural is a browish-pinkish (?) color, it is not really brown it has some pink tint on it. I think it is a beautiful nude, everyday color. 


Blushed


 This has to be the most beautiful color I have ever had of Jordana lipsticks. It is a beautiful blue based pink, kind of magenta. It is bright, but not a "in your face" shade. I can not say how much I love Blushed, this is perfect to add a pop of color to you outfit, but it is still wearable for the office.


 
 Overall, I must say that I love Jordanas lipsticks, they are cheap usually ranging from $1 to $3 which is an excellent price due their quality. I highly recommend them.
