Jordana Powder Blushes - Review

What it claims: Color-true tints for cheeks. Face looks youthful & refreshed. Accentuates, sculpts & contours. Velvety-smooth formula blends easily.

Price: Rs. 149/- for 2.2 Gms (If you get these from New Beauty Centre, you will get additional 20% off)

Shades available: 

Sandalwood (Matt peach pink) - my favourite of the lot. Medium in pigmentation, it is a very natural looking color and because you need a few swipes for it to show - even a newbie can use this without going overboard. Does not need a lot of buffing. Will suit most skin tones

Bronze (Coppery Bronze with a pearlcent reflective look)

Cocca (Plum Brown Matt): Planning to get this once my Colorbar Plum Brown finishes.

Redwood: (Cool Pink Red with Pearl reflective color): basically a cool toned red with very diffused shimmer in red - highly pigmented. Needs to be buffed and blended well. This is a very one of a kind color and I haven't seen this in other ranges.

Stardust (Golden Peach) - didn't get this coz it won't go with my skin tone but would look lovely as a bronzer on someone warmer

Tawny Beige (Bronzy Rose): Another one of my favourites. Looks very natural. Pigmented.

Terracotta (Warm Apricot shade matt): a matt light brown shade that I use for when I doing a strong eye or lip look.

Sienna (Light Matt Neutral Brown): again great for just a neutral look.

Sunlit Bronze: (Warm Natural Peach with Shimmer): A nice bronzer for those with warm undertones

Toast (Brown Beige Matt)

I have 5 of these: sandalwood, redwood, terracotta, tawny beige & sienna


Pros: 
1. Very wide range of shades to choose from. They have over 8 shades to choose from. (Internationally, they have launched about 17 colors). The shades are all lovely variations of pinks, peaches and bronze. And a lot of them are matt, but not flat (I don't like sparkly blushes, those with shimmer- just a personal preference)


2. The texture is very smooth and the blush is fine milled. Even the blushes that do have shimmer (like Redwood) - the shimmer is so fine and diffused that you don't see particles of it stuck to the skin, it is a very very diffused glow.

3. Highly pigmented (except for Sandalwood - this requires a some amount of layering), they have long staying powder.

4. The price! after the discount they cost me like Rs. 120 for one. I just love such bargain hunts!

5. They didn't break me out or react badly to my skin.

Cons:

1.Ok, here's one for the numerically inclined. This costs 120 for 2.2 gms, so effectively Rs. 55 per gm. Colorbar costs Rs. 250 for 6 gms so effectively Rs. 40 per gm. Colorbar is cheaper, but I would rather get two different blushes in the same price even if they are lesser in quantity.

2. No ingredient list.

3. Not everyone may like the packaging: round silver pot, with see through screw on lid. Also there is no brush or mirror with this. (I couldn't care less, I am not so much into packaging)

Will I re-purchase: Do I need to answer this?

If you are looking for a good quality, no frills blush, in loads of colors, at a budget price this is a good bet ladies. I really like these blushes, sold in a silver pot with a screw on lid, they may not have the best looking packaging around, but if you are willing to compromise on that then these are really, really nice.
