Jordana Fairy Dust

This is Jordana Fairy Dust and I think I'm in love.  As with all glitter polishes, my picture does not do this polish justice.  It is sparkly and has holographic glitter interspersed in the polish that does not show in my picture.  When you pick up the bottle, this polish looks like a 3 year old girl's dream:  pink and glittery.  However, this is adult enough when it is on the nail.  :)  I'm not a pink person or a glitter person and I love it.  I didn't feel at all like a 3 year old. 

One nail chipped on day 3, but was easily repaired by dabbing on more polish.  I figured the chip was a fluke, and it was.  The other nails made it 6 days with only one additional teeny tiny chip before I remove the polish.  I believe this was 3 coats Fairy Dust and 1 coat of top coat to smooth out the top.  If you wanted it perfectly smooth, it would require 2 coats of top coat, but 1 coat was pretty darned smooth.  Best part?  Jordana polish is in the 2-3$ range.  I got mine at K-mart.  Go get one!

Cheap Thrills: Jordana Blush

Coral Sandy beach, Touch of Pink, Redwood
Jordana makes great blushes.  They are very pigmented and last through out the day.  The best part is you can get these for about $2.50 at K-mart.  They need a bit of blending, but I don't think that's a big issue.

Jordana calls Coral Sandy beach a gold toned peachy pink.  They describe it as a duo toned luster and having pearl reflective color.  I'd call it coral with a satin finish, with some subtle shimmer.  I hate shimmery blush in outdoor summer light.  However I can wear this one in summer without fear of sparkling in the sunlight.
Jordana calls Touch of Pink a coral pink with a matte finish.  I always find matte finishes to be chalky.  This blush isn't chalky at all.  This is a subtle soft pink color that does lean slightly coral.

Jordana calls Redwood a pink red with pearl reflective color.  I don't find this one to be shimmery on the skin.  This is one of my favorite blushes in winter.  In summer it can sometimes read sunburned.  I like to pair this with red lipstick and subtle eye shadow.  In the video, the only pink make-up I am wearing is the Redwood blush. However, because of the lovely red/pink color of this blush, the whole make-up look reads pink.
