Jordana CatEye Liner Review

*Press Sample*

More awesome new products from Jordana to share with you today! These are liquid liners in an 8 shade range. There are some really fun, bright colors along with some more wearable, everyday shades. 

I really love colored eyeliner for summertime. It's such a quick and simple way to add something to your face without all the blending and layering eyeshadow can require. And when it's super hot outside, you usually don't want to be piling it on anyway!

L-R: Orchid, Suede, Twilight, Caribbean, Envy, Future, Black Brown, and Black Leather

I've worn a lot of these shades and have been pretty impressed! They apply easily and smoothly and have lasting power all day. I will warn you that the shade Twilight stained my lids even over primer and shadow which I was surprised about but I love the shade so much I don't think that it's a deal breaker. ;)

If the brighter, lighter shades intimidate you or don't define your eyes enough, my favorite trick is to do a double liner look with a black liner closest to the lash line. That way you get the definition that makes only a dark liner can give, but you get the bright color pop as well. I did this on my eyes below using Orchid.

These retail for $2.99 each. They are available at jordanacosmetics.com and Walgreens.

See any colors that appeal to you?

Jordana Modern Matte Lipsticks Swatches and Review

*Press Sample*

It's no secret Jordana has some serious gems hiding at the drugstore. I've got some new ones to show you today! 

Matte lipsticks have been a major trend this year and the Modern Matte line has got you covered! There is a huge range of shades to choose from and the formula is amazing. Matte lipsticks have really come a long way in terms of comfortable wear and these are right up there. Of course, you always want to exfoliate your lips and wear a light balm for a while before applying. If you do that, you get a pretty smooth application. 

Once on the lips, wear time for me is almost 4 hours before needing a touch up. Even then, it was just that- a touch up. Most of the color was still on my lips from my original application, even through eating and drinking! These are not extremely drying on the lips either. If I noticed my lips needed a little something during the day I would lightly apply a clear balm on top. 

Let's look at the shades! These first 12 were sent to me first, and I recently recieved 6 more shades to round out this collection to 18! I love the packaging. For a budget brand, it's not too cheap looking at all. I like that the tube perfectly matches the actual lipstick inside. 

The neutrals- Matte Bare, Matte Blush, Matte Frappuccino, Matte Tease, Matte Classy

The pinks- Matte Adorable, Matte Popular, Matte It Girl, Matte Dare

The oranges/red- Matte Pretty, Matte Caliente, Matte Style

These are the recent additions to the line:

Matte Whisper, Matte Innocent, Matte Goddess, Matte Divine, Matte Gorgeous, Matte Ambition

So many colors to choose from, definitely something for everyone! My top two are Matte Style and Matte Divine. But being the makeup addict I am, I love them all for one reason or another. ;)

Let me know which colors you are loving!

Pick these up in select Walgreens and on Jordanacosmetics.com for just $2.99!

Milani Fierce Foil Lipgloss Swatches

*Press Sample*

Milani recently came out with a limited edition collection of lip glosses called Fierce Foil that pack a punch in the glitter/shimmer department! There are 6 in this collection and I have 2 shades to show you today. 

Venice and Sardinia

Sardinia is a coral shade. It's sheer but buildable to where you can cover most of your natural lip color.  With both these shades there is a lot of obvious glitter/shimmer so the look may not be for everyone.

 Venice is a light nude pink with lots of silvery shimmer. On me, I feel like it's very sheer and could add glitter and shine over any color without changing it. This has a very metallic look with all the silvery glitter particles. Very pretty!

Here you can see more of the texture of the shimmer/glitter.

I almost forgot to mention the scent! I am so obsessed with the way these smell! It's a yummy vanilla cake batter scent reminiscent of Lip Smackers Vanilla Frosting lip gloss which I worshipped as a 12 year old. haha I want to reach for these glosses for the scent alone.

As I mentioned before, the high glitter/shimmer content may not be for everyone's taste. It's not what I typically reach for but these aren't gritty or glittery in the traditional way that makes people shy away from them, so that makes them worth a shot!

Find the Fierce Foil collection at CVS!
