Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Color

I’m trying to add more drugstore finds here at Midwest Glam. I’ve gotten quite a few requests and it seems people would like to see some budget friendly options around here. So I’m going to try and sprinkle some throughout the blog from now on.
While doing some couponing at Kmart I wandered off into the beauty section and spotted these super cute liquid lipsticks. There was a really good sale going on at the time. They were buy one get one half off. So I grabbed every shade they had available. I mean how could I pass up such a great deal?
First, I’d like to say that I’m very surprised that the shades swatched exactly how they look in the tube. I was hoping that would be the case because they all looked so pretty in the tube. The tubes appear smaller than most of the other liquid lipsticks in my collection, but they contain the same amount of product. The tubes are shorter and wider with a smaller top/wand. I did detect a scent which lingers for a good 10 minutes or so. It’s fruity and a little strong, but it fades rather quickly. The applicator was pretty easy to work with. I wouldn’t say it’s super soft or anything special, but it got the job done. Texture wise it’s thick and creamy. It applied nicely and evenly. It dried down pretty quickly, but not during application. Once set they are transfer proof. Unless you eat something greasy then things tend to get messy. So maybe don’t inhale a chicken sandwich while wearing one of these bad boys. It won’t make for a pretty look. Take it from me.
These lipsticks really took me by surprise. They’re lightweight and pretty comfortable. They’re true mattes. They are slightly drying, but I mean it is a matte. And a little prep before application will help with that. I would totally buy more of these if there were more shades to choose from. At the moment there are only 12 shades listed on their website. I think if they added more shades I’d pick them over some of the other brands. For the most part they perform the same as some of the others in my collection. In some cases maybe even better? You can see some of the shades in action below.
These really were a nice find. I ordered a few more shades and will be posting those soon. I really do hope they add more shades in the future. And a quick note… I’ll be adding a few of these to an upcoming giveaway I’m planning. I’m also planning to include one of those fancy looking Wet n Wild Gold Bar Highlighting Powders from the new Holiday Collection. It’s going to be a really nice giveaway so be on the lookout for that!
We don’t get Jordana here in Canada but only got Milani. These sound so good though, I wonder if I can score one through online.

I got a few of the Milani shades when I was at the store. I hear they are very similar.
The colors are really pretty and vibrant. I can usually find Jordana at Sally’s Beauty Supply so I may have to check out Strawberry Cheesecake :-)

Oh I didn’t even know they carried Jordana there! I’m there at least once a month too! But I never really look around. I’ll keep an eye out next time for sure. Strawberry Cheesecake is one of my faves!

I think Strawberry Cheesecake looks amazing on you!!! I’d probably go with the red or the orange. ;)

Thank you so much! Yes, you sure do wear the reds and oranges quite well! :)
OMG! Cherry Cobbler though!! Wow! I have heard that this brand has a lot of great finds within the range, but these shades are stunning!

I heard a lot of great things too. I want to check out the new Halloween shades, but I heard those aren’t as good. I might grab one anyway to see for myself. But I do have a few other items from the brand and so far I’m liking everything. I think it’s definitely worth checking out.
Omgggg they’re sooo gorgeous and they ALL look amazing on you! I can’t wait to try them!!
Thank you so much, Steph! <3
Those lip colors look gorgeous! Also, I’m currently having a Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment giveaway and will be having a new giveaway every week with products from UD, Too Faced, Fresh, Buxom, Hourglass and more. You should come check it out! :)

I love these liquid lipsticks, too! They are probably among my favorite matte lipsticks. I need to get some more of the colors, too. You can’t beat the price.

You really can’t beat the price! They’re pretty great. :)
Hooray for surprise drugstore/grocery store gems! That’s always a nice feeling to come across a budget friendly product that actually works out. Those lipsticks sound great, and I love how Cherry Cobbler looks on you.
