Jordana lipstick swatches and review

Hello beautiful people.
so today's post was requested by Lani from lani loves. go check out her blog she does awesome reviews and her bottle shots of polish are amazing. I'm part of a makeup group in new zealand (if you are in new Zealand definitely check it out) and posted a photo of all the new lippys i got.
it got a few questions and lovely Lani asked for a review, so here i am.. feeling all special doing my first requested blog post**

all these swatches are done on my natural lip and with no lip liner.
over all i am kinda in love with these. Jordana cosmetics is so affordable so you can get all the colours you would like and play around.

so first picture, which is not great at all is my natural lips. i thought i would post this as comparison for the rest of the picture.

i am going to start off with the only one i didn't really like.
Jordana petal pink #041
so i really like this colour it is a very very soft pink and sort off matte looking.
i must start off by saying i have very dry lips so matte lipsticks often don't work for me. i just found that because i really liked this colour i wanted to do a few layers to get it to be quite pastel but it just kept showing any dry sections of my lips. other than that i love the colour so i'm definitely going to give it another go, i might just put some lip balm on before or after. 
if you are after a soft pastel cool toned pink definitely give this a go!!

next is one i've had for a little while and it is my go to lippy
jordana nude #47
this is, in my opinion a perfect true nude lippy. it is also a cool toned colour and ,especially for my skin tone, it just coats my lips nicely. it has a very creamy formula without it being to glossy or sticky and it lasts really well. if you are after a nude lippy they i would try this one.

the next one is one of my favorites.
Jordana apricot glaze #190
this is very similar to my Rimmel one i did a look with here. this one being slightly more orange and the Rimmel one is slightly more red. this one is so so so creamy and glossy. it is so easy to apply and lasts almost all day. i found because it was so creamy it felt really comfortable on my lips, almost like wearing a stained lip balm.
in my opinion this is also more of a cool toned orange. 
if you have never tried a orange lippy definitely buy this, its so affordable and yet so pretty!!!

i am not to sold on the next one for myself.
Jordana creamy berries #188
this is a perfect name for this lippy it definitely looks like berries and it is very creamy. i'm just not a fan of the colour on my skin tone. i will wear it with certain looks but just not all the time. it it a pinky purple and its a gorgeous colour i just feel like it clashes with my skin tone, i feel like it makes me look pale. however, if you wern't as pale as i am or didn't mind that factor then i would try this one. i think it was probably the creamiest of them all however because of it being quite creamy i find it doesn't last as long but that's nothing reapplying wont solve.

i love this next one
Jordana pretty pink #099
its the perfect blue based cool toned pink. it sometimes can look a little purple but definitely way more pink. this formula is amazing as well, again so so creamy however this lasted almost all day on me. it is similar to apricot glaze in the way it feels so nourishing and not drying for your lips at all.
you can never have enough pink lippys, you should try this to!!!

first red lippy i ever bought!!
Jordana true red #077
i use this almost every time i wear red lipstick. i used it in my gatsby look.
you can pair it with a darker liner to get a deeper red or a bright red  liner for it to pop.
i found this is more of a cooler based tone as well which i prefer for my skin tone. again its very creamy and lasts almost all day.
it was the first red lippy i bought because i was really nervous to wear red lips and didn't want to spend a fortune and then never wear it.

this one is a little bit deceiving
Jordana fiesta #022
in the tube the lipstick is this gorgeous deep purple but when you apply it however, it isn't nearly as dark or even as purple. don't get me wrong i really like the colour it comes out as but it is definitely more pinky purple than dark purple. this one is also more of a cooled toned colour and is very creamy. i feel like this is a stunning lippy for those days you want to amp up your make up but don't want an extremely dark colour.

and lastly is
Jordana hot cocoa#151
this picture doesn't do it justice at all. i am obsessed with this colour. it is such a pretty brown lippy. i went out with it today and even my partner, who hardly ever mentions anything make up related said " that's a nice lip colour" i feel like other than nude its the one i will wear the most. i love brown lipsticks though. it it very creamy to apply but it does come off more matte in person than this photo shows. it lasts almost all day and leaves a slight tint to your lips so it kinda leaves you with a natural pretty ombre. its actually frustrating how little justice this photo does for this lipstick.

so over all i would definitely recommend trying to get your hands on some of these i buy most of my Jordana stuff on beautyjoint they ship worldwide.
