This week at Walgreens (through 8/10), all Jordana eye and lip products are BOGO1/2OFF. To coincide with this sale, many Walgreens locations have rolled out the new-for-2013 Jordana products and the two that seem to be getting the most raves around here so far are the 12 HR Made To Last Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils (which apparently are very similar to Jordana's sister company Milani's version, Shadow Eyez, and even include an Almond shade like the LE Shadow Eyez !) and the Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains.

...Love your blog and have found great brands and great deals here, was introduced to Jordana through your blog.

And now its my favorite drugstore brand. I found the Jordana twist and shine moisturizing balm stains, bought Terra Crave and Cranberry Crush , OMG, it's like a match in heaven for a lip junkie like me, wonderful colors, moisturizing, and the stain lasted for an entire 9 hour work day, where I am constantly sipping and eating, and the icing on the cake, my lips feel smooth even at night!!!!

They are probably my HG lip product (Comes from someone who has at least 500 lipglosses)! Hope you like them as much as I do , they beat the everything out of Clinique, Revlon, Tarte, or any other balm stains out there!!!

A huge thanks to reader Sophia, who found the Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains at her local Walgreens (FYI: she found them randomly placed in the display, so even if your Walgreens hasn't reset the new display yet, keep an eye open for these in the old display!). Sophia was nice enough to share pics and swatches of the four shades she purchased. Take a look!I already shared some snippets from reader comments about these balm stains (and also the new jumbo shadow pencils) in this post , but today I'd like to share with you part of an email I received the other day from reader Swapna.Swapna, if you're reading this, you have me absolutely convinced that I need to try these ASAP! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us (and I'm so happy I could help introduce you to one of my favorite affordable beauty brands!).Have you spotted/purchased any of these new balm stains from Jordana yet? Thoughts? At the time of this post, these are not yet on the Jordana website , so you'll have to look for them at Walgreens.
