Aloha everyone! :) This is my first ever blog and I am much too excited to write about something I love (I honestly want to write a travel blog as my first entry but anyways I can write about it later since I have created my own new blog site, Yay!!! :D) For now, let me stick to my main agenda which is to give you an in depth lip product review of the lovely new Jordana Sweet Cream Matte liquid lip color. (Phew! Quite a long name for a lip product! lol) As I have read, this new line of products were released earlier this year after Jordana's sister cosmetic company "Milani" released their own popular line of matte lip creme which is called the "Amore matte lip creme".
Moving on here's the real deal
Price: I bought mine at an online store (https://shopee.ph/) for Php 320, Other shades were priced at Php 280. I believe this shade (Tiramisu) is one of their best sellers. At first I was reluctant to buy it online because of scams and all that, Well It isn't in the Philippine market yet, not in Iloilo City I supposed. So, I went ahead and bought it coz the seller (malcolm manor) was very accommodating and guess what, (This may be every online shopper's dream) she offered "Free shipping and COD". How can you resist that?! haha Thank God for that great offer! Jordana also sell these lippies for $4.99 each in their website, https://www.jordanacosmetics.com/Sweet-Cream-Matte-Liquid-Lip-Color.html.
Shade:Tiramisu
Net wt: 0.11 OZ / 3g -You get to have a good amount for its price
Packaging: Comes in a normal liquid lipstick type of glass tube, smaller than Colourpop's or Kylie's liquid lipstick. With a smaller than the standard doe foot applicator, which is perfect for your cupid's bow and the tip is slightly curved -works well with getting the right amount of product suitable for one application. I usually use it with my Nivea Essential care lip balm. Here they are side by side. See how handy it is?! hehe
Product claims:
- Vivid liquid lip color with a velvety matte finish
- Up to 16HR wear
- Creamy-whipped, lightweight feel
- Infused with nourishing vitamin A
- Available in 12 dessert-rich shades
- Water-resistant formula
- Made in USA
Shades available: There are a total of 12 shades to choose from this collection.
These are only 10 shades above. The 2 shades not shown here are Red Velvet Cake and Sugared Plum.
Fragrance: I'm not very particular with how it smells but it smells like dessert, perfect for its name. :) Its smells like vanilla frosting! Yummm! For all sweet tooth's like me, you will surely love smelling this. However, after applying on the lips you won't be able to notice its smell coz it seems to fade away after it has dried on the lips.
Texture, Formula, Pigmentation and Finish: I have mine in the shade of O7 Tiramisu, which is a gorgeous terracotta shade. I am into brown lipsticks nowadays but this I must say might be the closest I can get to achieving a warm rosy brownish color. The formula is indeed creamy and very pigmented. With just one swipe you are good to go. It does not feel heavy, tacky nor sticky on the lips like other cream matte lippies do. It is very light weight. Though most of the colors are bold and daring, they have a great range to choose from. The finish of course from liquidy or creamy to a matte one. It's very comfortable on the lips. Me likey!
Lip and hand swatches:
This is "07 Tiramisu" on my actual lips with different lightings applied with one coat. (Night time on top and Day time on bottom part)
Left: Newly applied, Right: After air dried
With no flash. 1) One coat of Tiramisu 2) Two coats of Tiramisu 3) MAC in Taupe for comparison
Longevity: Longevity wise, I would like to say that I did test it and It lasted for a good 6-7 hours of talking, eating and drinking after reapplying. Just stay away from oily foods, as they tend to fade esp in the middle part of your lips. I found no problems upon reapplying, It still looked and felt good. ;)
1) and 2): See how it faded out in the middle part of my lower lip?
3) After reapplying with one coat...Voila!!!
Final Verdict: By the way, these are water proof and non trasnferrable after drying to a beautiful matte finish. I love love love this matte lip cream. I must say I got a good value for my money, considering it's just for Php 280-320. The pigmentation and lightweight feel is truly awesome. I would highly reccommend these sweet babies to my sister, friends, officemates and to all of you who are reading this blog! FYI guys, this is not a paid AD (Although it would be really cool if I was paid to do this haha). I certify that all of the stuff I wrote here came from my opinion unless otherwise stated. ;)
Will repurchase or not? Will Definitely buy again. I would like to try the other shades like Creme Brulee, Mixed Berry Souffle, Red Velvet Cake and Rose Macaron. ;) But as of now, Tiramisu is my best bet!
Till next blog!!! Hope I have helped you choose your favorite shade in one way or another. Bye guys and thank you for reading my 1st ever blog!!!! XOXO and lotsa love -Shangy
