For The Love of Jordana (True Red and Holiday Red)

I'm writing on something a bit different today, and like my blog description says "This, that and so much more". So every now and then I'll be dropping some beauty product reviews, food recipes and and travelogue. 
This is my first, so after you've read, tell me what you think.


I've been itching to review this product a long time ago but I wasn't convinced....yet. Until I purchased two new shades which I really love. This product is not as popular as MAC, Wet n Wild etc but it is very affordable, I got mine 500Naira in one of Lagos most popular markets, Balogun in Nigeria.


It comes with very classic package ,  It has just two types. The normal with a simple lipstick tube with black and silver case and transparent cap while the matte has a black and gold colored case.

 
(Top - Bottom: Matte, Normal)

The lipstick is not attached to the tube so if you don’t put the cap back carefully, it will scratch the lipstick. The packaging does look very cheap but you’ll stop complaining about the packaging right after you give it on your lip. It’s very impressive!  It suits my skin tone so well, leaves my lips very soft for a very long time unlike a popular, unnecessarily expensive lipstick I know and the fragrance is UH-LA-LA, chewing gum-like smell which is quite mild!!!

       
Those who know me well, know how much I love red shade lippies. From MAC's Ruby Woo, Wet n Wild's Hot Red and everything in between but none has really done it for me until  I got these beauties. The lipstick is bright red with pinkish undertones. Its not creamy but it feels thick and leaves a burst of colour on your lip. I personally love this about Jordana's True Red and Holiday Red. Its a very hot red but you can still pull it off on that date with your man or on your ladies night out.

 The most surprising about these lippies is that its neither frost, matte or shimmer. Just a regular sheen finish which if you blot a little makes it a matte. Its great for this season and its perfect for my caramel skin tone. Both reds have a pink and blue undertone.



(L - R: True Red, Holiday Red Jordana Lipstick)
Here's a word of caution, they've got tendencies to really look bright especially if the rest of the face is dull. What you can do to reduce it from standing out on you is to use it as a lip stain.

True Red Lippy on my Lips
You can try it, its a great red if you wear it with a lip brush or as a lip stain, good for beginners and less adventurous.Best for that long awaited date or night out with your girlfriends.  Its not a blue-based red but a soft pinkish red. It might feel a little stiff and more like a stain than a lipstick. That's my beauty review for this week, I will review more of my favorite Jordana Lipstick shades next time.

Have a fantastic weekend guys and i'm expecting your comments.

Venting Tuesday : Convo With A Scammer

When will these scammers learn? Yes, scammers!!! Ever got a text message from a weird number telling you you have just won a large sum of money courtesy a popular brand? Or, perhaps, a strange phone-call from 'a long lost relative, friend, old school mate' and everything in between telling you how much he/she has missed you and would love to see you again after so many years ...blah-blah-blah Apparently, those examples I gave fall under the electronic type of duping (scam), other types of the electronic duping include email advanced fees, plishing . The face to face duping is another type of scam. Here, the fraudsters come to their victim in person, inviting them to participate in a too good to be true deal. They tell the victim he need not worry about money anymore because the deal they are offering will save him from being financially handicap for life. They even engage their victim in a discussion depending on the type of deal involved. The term 'scammer' is a

Random Musings: Clearly I Am Not Just A Fat Ass

Lately I find myself listening to different genres of music. From rock, pop, country, jazz and and and. So I have just being a music whore trying to find the one I'm most comfortable with.  Of all the genres of music I have been experimenting lately, Soul tops my list. Now Soul is believed to be music for only mature minds, whatever that means! I have even been told that you need to be of a certain age group to understand the message that lies in soul music. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more.

So What If I've Had 20 Exes?

This might be another very controversial article that I get to post on my blog weekly. This is because every now and then I get to meet very interesting people and I am constantly reminded that we view life differently. Before I continue, I'll advise only 25s and above to read this. I believe this age range can relate with this topic appropriately. However,  I'm open to contrary views.
