Jordana Easy Shine Glossy Lip Color

Guess what guess what!!! I actually found dupes for Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Glossy Shine Sticks in the form of Jordana Easy Shine Glossy lip Color!

Let me tell you, it's been ages since I stepped foot inside an American drugstore, and what do you know, it didn't take me long to find a nice surprise along with these gems! Just look at them, from the package of the tube to the color, save for their names and fragrances, they're almost exact dupes of the VS Beauty Rush Glossy Shine Sticks I love so much! *squee*

Raspberry

Berry Colada

Sweet Strawberry 

Raspberry, Berry Colada, and Sweet Strawberry. All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

There were only 3 colors at the drugstore I visited, Raspberry, Berry Colada, and Sweet Strawberry, but all 3 are excellent so far! If anything, they're a tad more pigmented than the VS Glossy Shine Sticks even, all the while being just as glossy, translucent, and moisturizing. Wow, I really like these!!! I was loathing the thoughts of having to resupply my favorite Glossy Shine Sticks from Ebay, but these Jordana ones are a fraction of the Glossy Shine Sticks' price on Ebay! Take that, you E(vil)bay! The Jordana website lists a bunch of different colors too, and for only $1.99 a piece I'll be more than happy to try them all ^.^ well, may be not the brown color, but all the other colors look totally delectable xD

- Raspberry: I thought this would be a match for VS Glossy Shine Stick in Melon Out, but it turns out to be a cooler hot pink with a touch of fuchsia, whereas Melon Out is more of a warmer bubblegum pink. The Jordana Raspberry is a bit more opaque too.

- Berry Colada: a grapey violet that's identical to VS Glossy Shine Stick in Lemon Twist, from the pigmentation to the translucency, down to the flecks of gold shimmers that don't really show! Even the tubes' color is similar, with the VS tube being having just a bit more berry in it. VS Lemon Twist happens to be my favorite berry lip color ever, being one of the very few berries that actually compliments my skin tone, rather making me look like I had been poisoned ^.^' You bet I'm thrilled to have found an exact dupe for this color! Hooray for Jordana!

- Sweet Strawberry: a juicy strawberry red and a more pigmented version of the VS Glossy Shine Stick in Strawberry Fields! Looking at both tubes side by side makes the VS one look orangey, but nope, they're both the same blue based red!

Jordana Sweet Strawberry (lower left) versus VS Strawberry Fields (upper right). You can tell the Jordana one is more pigmented than the VS, as the Jordana gloss stick itself looks more opaque and pigmented where as the VS stick has some translucency to it.
