Jordana 05 Gla-Amour Matte Lipstick Review

Hey all!

I’m back to reviewing stuff that I’d got a few weeks ago. I bought 3 Jordana lipsticks from their ‘Matte’ collection, thinking they were really matte. Let’s see how they fared.

My Experience with Jordana 05 Gla-Amour Matte Lipstick:

Packaging: This lipstick comes in a silver bullet. I don’t like the packaging. Just looking at it, it feels so flimsy and cheap. It has a transparent cover with a sticker to tell you the shade name etc. The sticker at the bottom serves the same purpose as well. The S.A. did not allow me to swatch any of these lipsticks, so I picked them up just by seeing the shade through the dull cover. The cover shuts with a click and isn’t strong.

Color/Pigmentation: Did someone say ‘Matte’? Or, was it wrongly packaged? I’m sure there’s a huge discrepancy about it. This is a nude shade with golden shimmers running throughout. I’m sure such lipsticks are known as ‘Frosty’ ones. I just don’t understand who wears frosty lipsticks nowadays? Why do cosmetic companies still make shimmery lipsticks? I can’t wear this shade and not look like I’ve applied sand on my lips! The pigmentation is good, you need 2-3 swipes to cover your lips.

Texture: Despite being a ‘frosty’ lipstick, it has a consistency similar to a lip balm. But, mind you, these lipsticks are very drying on the lips. They don’t feel gritty on the lips though. They are soft and a bit creamy, but after 5 minutes, your lips start feeling dry. When you take off the lipstick, the shimmers are all over your lips. Major dud!

Staying Power: It doesn’t stay much on my lips. I’ve only worn it for testing purpose and kept it away since then. It stayed on for 3-4 hours with all the talking, eating and drinking. It fades with a meal, but the shimmers stay.

  1. Tags on makeup products can be really deceiving at times! I too do not like frosty shades. The “sand on my lips” part was very funny! Very honest review! xx
