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.

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

‎Inspirational Bites with Seun Sanni: BLESSED IS THE HAND THAT GIVES

"Responsibility is the only solution to the war that is ongoing around the world. We all have to be responsible for one another most especially with our giving. When you give, you're automatically saying no to poverty and if poverty is eradicated from the land no one will think of going to blow him or herself up for a cup of rice. I plead with you leaders of churches, I want you to please teach the true doctrine of love not how to benefit church only, but also outer world. How will you preach Jesus Christ, the prince of peace when the environment of the church you reside is without peace?

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.
