Case in point - the Jordana Lip Shine Natural Glaze in 02 Watermelon Punch. These come in little click-pen dispensers with a brush at the end, a la the Stila lipglazes. These are also half the size of your typical Stila Lipglaze, but they're also definitely less than half the price, so I'm guessing value-wise they're still better. Jordana has two ranges of Lip Shines, Natural Glaze and Shimmer Glaze, and from what I hear, the Natural Glazes are way better than the Shimmer Glazes, which tend to be too frosty for most people's preferences.
Here's a swatch of the lipgloss:
02 Watermelon Punch happens to be a gorgeous coral colour. It's a pretty universal shade, so I do think that anyone could wear it. There isn't any shimmer or glitter in this one, which suits my preferences just fine. I also like the semi-sheer, jelly-like texture of the lipgloss - it's not as pigmented as I usually like my glosses to be, but it shows up enough for me. It probably wouldn't overwhelm girls who don't like too much pigment either, since it's semi-sheer - I guess it's a happy in-between.
Here's a swatch of Watermelon Punch on my lips:
As you can see on my lips, it also replicates that jelly-like, semi-sheer texture, producing a very glossy finish. I quite like this, really. I just wish it was a bit more pigmented, but at least it's not totally sheer. The Jordana Natural Glaze range actually reminds me a little bit of the Rimmel Vinyl Glosses.
So do you need this? If you do happen to be passing by a Walgreens and see this lying around, I think it'll be worth grabbing a couple. It's cheap, cheery, and actually pretty good.
This is very pretty! I am a big fan of jelly-like texture glosses. Have you tried Victoria Secret's glosses too? They are very glossy as well. Oh and did you mention how much this product is? I am going to check it out next time I go to walgreens - even I don't go there often.. lol :)
ReplyDeleteYou have soo pretty lips! xx
ReplyDelete@Winnie: I've never actually tried the VS glosses, although I've heard they're pretty good, and they're not actually too expensive! If you're in the US, this product is pretty cheap - I don't remember it being more than a few dollars. Probably around US$2 if I remember correctly - so it's REALLY worth getting at that price!
ReplyDeletei love this color ! *___*
ReplyDeleteJordana glosses are hard to find in Canada too but I will be keeping my eye out..this is a beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteI bought some of the little lipstick thingies from Jordana - Easyshine? Something like that - and a couple of the eyeshadows a few weeks back in a Cherry Culture sale, just to try the brand. They were all about $2US each, and then with 20% off for the sale, so I didn't really care if they turned out to be duds. I quite liked them though, the quality is not too bad for something so cheap. Not sure if you can even buy it here in Australia - I've never seen it anywhere.
