Product experience 
brush tip

You .057 oz 0.0 g of product for $2.99 I got the colors black leather 01 which is your basic black and twilight 04 which is a nice bright blue. It's available in 8 shades from basic blacks to fun bright yellow.The black sets to a matte finish while blue has some micro shimmer.The blue will stain your lids I didn't notice any staining with the black.It is an ink pot type of liquid eyeliner with a nice thin brush applicator.
I found  the texture to be nice it does take a few seconds to dry but nothing bad.
I find my self dipping a couple of times to get enough product on my lids and to get enough color.

Pros
  • Comes in a inkwell type of liner
  • Has a nice thin brush
  • Very pigmented
  • Some products dries to different finishes, the black dried to a matte finish while the blue one has some iridescence
  • Dries quickly
  • Comes in basic and non traditional shades like green and yellow

a little bit of transfer/staining 


Cons
  • the brush is a just a tad short
  • the some of the color transfers
  • The some of colors will stain your lids
  • The blue one flaked around my eye area
  • The formula feels drying upon initial application but goes away after 15 min



twilight, after 4 hours 

after 4 hour twilight, there's a bit of flaking around my eye

All in all I like this eyeliner the brush is thin and the formula works for me. It worth trying out if you happen to find this available in stores.

Eye make up review: Jordana 12 hr made to last eye shadow pencil

Hi everyone,
I hope your enjoying the weather, Today I will be reviewing the Jordana eye shadow pencils. I think just about every company from drugstore to high end is realizing their version of long wear eye shadow pencils. This forms of eye shadows are very convinient, easy to use and usually the formula is long lasting

Product experience 
The product comes in a pen style, you get 0.10 g of product for $3.99. To use just swipe this across your kids and blend with either a blending brush or fingers.
I bought the colors black, brown and almond. It comes in two finishes shimmery and matte and has 8 different colors. I bought the one that has a matte finish because those are hard to come by.


Pros:
Easy to use, very intuitive because of the pencil style packaging
Comes in two finishes matte and shimmery.
Comes with basic shades like black, brown, white and skin tone and fun shades like purple, green and pink.
Inexpensive
Available at Walgreens


Cons:
Limited color selection
Dries very quickly 
Hit and miss with the consistency of the product, I found that the brown very dry and hard to blend and the black very creamy that I had to set it with a powder to keep from creasing.





I had such high hopes for this product,  I love my Urban Decay 24/7 jumbo pencils. In the end this brand just can't compete. The almond shade is the only one that I like because of the texture, blend ability and staying power. It is just a hit and miss in its performance.
