Giordani Gold, the luxurious yet affordable range

These days shopping for makeup in a drugstore can be quite the jungle. The selection of affordable makeup products has become bigger, the amount of good and high quality products has increased. I can honestly say, you truly can find a whole face of amazing products in the drugstore, but for that special something, a more luxurious feel, you might still need to take a look at the high-end counter. Well, maybe not necessarily…

Giordani Gold is a luxurious range from a rather affordable brand, Oriflame. The products in the range are truly elegant, sophisticated, they give you that luxurious feel, but on the other side still stay affordable. The first Giordani Gold product I’ve came across, was the Giordani Gold Eau de Parfum, which still is my favourite affordable perfume (probably the only one I truly love wearing, especially with the complementary Giordani Gold Deodorising Body Spray). It’s younger sister, Miss Giordani is lovely as well, a bit more playful and youthful. When it comes to makeup, Giordani Gold doesn’t disappoint as either. Their Invisible Touch Foundation (in Light Ivory, my summer shade) is a winner – it’s ultra light, natural, moisturizing and slightly dewy, perfect for anyone with normal to dry skin type. Giordani Gold Bronzing Pearls (in Natural Bronze) are super pigmented, they give you that sun-kissed look with a hint of glow. These are no longer in my possession; were seized by my mom saying “I need these, you already own to many bronzers.” While taking them, she grabbed a Giordani Gold Incredible Length Mascara as well. She needed a new one, and I (winning the kindest daughter ever award) let her have it. She aims for lengthening mascaras that give a lot of definition, separation and no clumps; the GG has obviously passed the test in the mascara category. Two of the products I am not willing to hand over to anyone are the Giordani Gold lipsticks. Speaking of luxurious packaging, Giordani Gold Jewel Lipstick is probably unbeatable. It’s exquisite golden designer-looking case is a true jewel in my handbag, while the shade Dusky Nude is appropriate for everyday use, looking natural. Giordani Gold totally rocks with it’s rich and creamy textures, not only at Jewel range, but also at the Iconic. Giordani Gold Iconic Lipstick in Creamy Nude is probably one of my favourite drugstore lipsticks of all times (that’s a big statement, I know). It contains SPF 15 and has a creamy, luxurious satin-finish. Feeling nourishing, it still has a lovely pigmentation and (expected) average, but solid staying power. The shade is rosy-nude perfection.
