Jordana Fabuliner Liquid Eyeliner

I received the Jordana Fabuliner from a friend.  This is unfortunately only available overseas, It is made in the USA. I had to do a review as it is one of those cult products with a reasonable price tag.  A South African product equal to this would be the L.A Girl fineline liquid liner in black.

Jordana claims:

• Felt-Tip Precision
• No Skipping or Dragging
• Convenient & Easy to Use
• Dramatic Eye Definition

Available in 2 Shades.  I received 01 Black.

Ingredients:
Shade:01
Water (Aqua), Acrylates Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Lignosulfonate, Sodium Laureth-11 Carboxylate, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 80,  Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Laureth-12 Sulfate, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Edta, Black 2 (CI 77266).

Tips & Tricks:
Begin applying a thin line from the inner to the outer corner of your eyelid along your upper or lower lash line. Fro a more dramatic look, make your lines thicker and bolder.

I had fun using this liner.  I don have steady hands, so I had to practice.  I am used to using gel and pencil liner.  I always admire others who wear liquid liner and wished I could master it.  The truth is, the applicator makes a big difference for me.  Using the old style liquid liner does not work for me.  Using a liquid liner pen means that I have more control over the application. 

So I will be a pro in no time!

Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara.

Hi there

This review is on the Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara.  I received mine from a friend as Jordana cosmetics are not sold in South Africa.

This mascara has been compared to the Lancôme Hypnôse Star.

There is a full comparison with photos can be viewed at http://jolieebelle.com/2014/02/03/lancome-vs-jordana-mascara/

The Hypnose Star is supposed to give you spidery lashes if you use too many coats.  To me I feel that's exactly what happens when you use the Jordana mascara.

The formula was a bit wet in the beginning.  With any mascara, you have to wait at least two weeks before it dries out a little, then you get the true nature of the mascara.  I usually pile on the mascara.  With the Jordana Best Lash  Extreme Mascara, I can only use two coats which gives me really nice length and volume.  Any more than that, I will get spidery lashes.

Which one would you choose considering that the Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara is an inexpensive mascara which does the exact same thing as the Hypnose Star, an extremely expensive high-end mascara?
