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.


(077: True Red and 064: Holiday Red)
 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.

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...

My Two Kobo Thoughts Thursday for Lovers

How this gist with my colleague and I at work started I don't know but It inspired me to write this. So we were watching a political rally and we noticed one of the prominent people present was busy grinning at his mobile phone while his wife, the first lady of that state was smiling cheerfully while waving the party's flag. My colleague at work concluded that he was probably sexting his bae and couldn't be bothered about the stupid rally anyways. He probably couldn't wait to jet off to meet his bae already. I was amazed at her thought and I argued that he was probably tweeting about the rally, checking updates and reading news online. She disagreed o! She said the average black man is a cheat as long as he has roots from Africa. So I allowed her continue, and she explained that she had heard so many reasons why men cheat and she can only blame the girlfriends or wives. This reminded me of a friend (Tomiwa) that became a serial cheat overnight. His reason.... h...

How Long, Is Too Long?

I got a lot of  feedback  concerning my previous post on standards ; one very interesting question in one of the mails asked how long a relationship should last before it tolls the marriage road. This question is not alien to many of us especially those in committed, marriage-bound relationships. It has been asked over and over again and I’m not sure if it will stop coming up in several discussions every now and then; this is because people are starting relationships per second while some are still growing. It’s quite surprising that this thought pattern is often times linked to the ladies, especially when they hit their late twenties or early thirties. It becomes a topic among single sisters when they get to attend weddings almost every Saturday or have to congratulate a friend who just got engaged.  Dele said “I wonder why my girlfriend expects me propose to her now because all her friends are getting married or getting engaged already.I think its when...
