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.

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...

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY 2

By popular demand, I present to you the concluding part of the blogbuster 'LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY. Click on this link  LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY Honestly, I wasn't hypnotized in any way neither was I under a spell of some sort, at least thats what I tell anyone that asks. But was I? A question I keep asking myself till date, I hope at the end of this,you might be able to give me an answer. Story begins..... We drove off to somewhere in Coates Str, EbuteMetta,Lagos Mainland to be precise.We got off the car and made an agreement not to expose the source of the money to the baba, we would tell him that we found the money in a land we plan to buy in Agbara, Lagos. We walked into a sawmill then to a small yard was where we stopped. As we waited for the almighty 'BABA' to come out, I quivered in fear. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, 'I better opt out now', I said to myself. Just as I was about to let my thoughts ...

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
