Quickie Review: Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color-Watermelon Juice

 Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color is a lipstick-balm hyrbid with a dewy feel and glossy finish. Watermelon Juice is a sheer watermelon shade that applies smoothly and shows up like a tinted balm. Wears for about thirty minutes :/. Not too bad for 2 bucks I guess...

OOTD: Trench Girl + Perfect Red Lips!

             Yo girls! I am back with a supershort little post about my outfit today! Sorry I have been so slow posting lol...gotta work on that. Btw, I'm going to Sephora for my FIRST TIME EVER (!!!) next Monday and I am SOOOO excited! 


As you can see, my outfit was kind of an army-trench girl theme with a touch of sparkle in the shoes. I am the tough/girly type in between so this is perfect! 
DRESS: From She's Cool (Girls), at TJ-Maxx (belt was attached)
SANDALS: From Xhilaration, at Payless

Perfect red lips! I love how well it goes with my hair and fair/medium skintone!

Created using Jordana Cabernet lipliner as lip color and Bonne Dr. Pepper lip gloss as top coat.

Jordana FabuLiner Liquid Eye Liner + Cute Swatch!

               Hey! I have decided that I will from now on do fun swatches with anything in the form of a pencil or pen, which I hope you will like! I am excited to be able to draw with cosmetics on my arm like a real makeup artist! 

Here it is! I think it is very pretty and it comes in a sorta-sleek tube with gold embellishments...a classic design to love! However, the product has nice staying power, but when you're trying to get it off it requires fierce rubbing that makes your eyes feel like a firey rash is taking over. It glides on alright, but the pen flops around so it isn't very precise. The tip wiggles and you end up with a thick, bumpy line. Ugh...perhaps a C plus would be an appropriate grade?

how much cuter hearts are than plain old lines!

Best Balms of FOREVER

                Hey guys! I just got up and spent 20 minutes looking for my Yes to Carrots lip balm before I could do this post...it turned out to be under the pile of pillows on my bed. :D Haha!  Well, anyway, I thought you might enjoy hearing about a few lip balms I think TOTALLY outdo the rest. Here they are...

From left to right: my (very battered, much used) Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color in Raspberry, my Yes to Carrots C Me Smile Lip Butter, my True Shimmer Botanical Berry Chapstick, and my Nivea Kiss of Flavor Passion Fruit Tinted Lip Care. 
The Jordana balm: Shiny, sweet-scented, and a blissful pink color. Smears easily in the tube, though.
The Yes to Carrots balm: Although it doesn't seem much like a lip butter, it still has a slight scent I love, and it is probably the ultimate softening, smoothing lip balm ever.
The True Shimmer balm: Again another lovely aroma, this time packaged with gorgeous shimmer in one moisturizing stick.
The Nivea balm: Expensive and chunky, but contains a pretty tint and some nice moisture.

P.S. Swatched below are the Jordana Balm and the Nivea one, since only those would show up on my skin.

Lip Jelly, Lip Gloss, and That Other Stuff

                       


                      Hey again! Here I am with yet another lip post, this one debating the differences between those items filed beneath that category. I have selected three cosmetics; a lip jelly, a lip gloss, and something else I don't know what to call; to post about. Here they are...
                                                                                                                                               

 From left to right in both pix are...InColor by Jordana Lip Jelly Juicy Tints in an unamed red shade, Unforgettable Moments Lip Gloss in Luscious, and Wet 'n Wild MegaSlicks Lip Gloss in Cherry Glaze. 




Now for the reviews. Lip jellies are balmier than regular gloss, and are most often flavored with just a hint of tint. Lip gloss like the Unforgettable Moments one are more pigmented and a tad creamier than others, while the Wet 'n Wild lip gloss is thinner and so lesser-pigmented that it barely shows up. More reviews later!

P.S. The lighting makes the MegaSlick look pure orange, although it is really a red-orange!

Lip Glosses that Rock My World

           
                 Hey there! Tonight I've been testing some of my favorite lip glosses and swatching them for this blog. I decided on my top five, so here they are...
                                                                             

 *The Mark Juice Gems Squeeze On Lip Gloss is smooth and not too sticky, with a slight sparkle. It has the tiniest bit of tint and a yummy scent.


*The Jordana Squeeze n Shine Super Shiny Tasty Lip Gloss smells fantastic, but it is a tad gooey, which I dislike. The hint of peachy-pink color is barely iridescent, but otherwise simply shimmery. 


*The Cupcakes Liplicious Tasty Lip Color is pretty shimmery, and although it shows up light orange on my skin, it is actually a red velvet-y (hence the name!) pink. Very sheer scent, but the product makes up for it.


*The Jane Liquid Lip Color is a bright, bold red with absolutely no glitters. It is very shiny and thick, and looks very similar on lips to how it looks on my skin.

*The Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss is smooth and easy to apply, yet the colors are a little sheer for my liking.
