Jordana Extreme Length Mascara and Jordana Extreme Volume Mascara Reviews

Products in this post were provided by PR/the brand

Jordana Profile

Jordana is a popular drugstore brand that offers a broad variety of cosmetics at super budget-friendly prices. They recently released a number of new products--2 of which happen to be mascaras. If you're curious about other Jordana products you can see my past reviews for Jordana Fabuliner Felt-Tip Liquid Liner and Jordana 12 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencils and Liquid Eyeliner Pencils

Jordana Extreme Length & Extreme Volume Mascara Price

Both of these mascaras retail for $3.99

Where to Buy

Both of these mascaras can be purchased on Jordana's site HERE as well as through authorized retailers such as Walgreens, Kmart, etc.


Jordana Best Volume Extreme Volumizing Mascara Review



Product Type

Volumizing mascara (none-waterproof formula)

Application

This applied well. It did not easily smudge all over my lid during application and did not clump.

Volumizing

I achieved noticeable volume with this mascara in addition to some length.

Final Thoughts

For the price tag, this is a decent mascara! I achieved decent volume and length and found it easy to work with. Hopefully eventually they'll release this in a waterproof formula as well! I almost always use a waterproof formula because here in New England it's nice one moment and rainy/snowy the next. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with this, especially with its budget-friendly price.


Jordana Extreme Length Mascara Review



Product

Lengthening mascara (none-waterproof formula)

Application

*sigh* This mascara and I simply did not get along. No matter what I tried, I could not get this to work for me. It was almost too sticky and rather than coating my lashes it made them stick and clump together. I tried it 3 different times with all of the same results. Perhaps I got a funky tube, but regardless, this mascara did not work for me as you'll see below.

Final Thoughts

While I may have gotten a weird tube, I have to base my opinion on my experience. Given difficult this mascara was to work with, I can't recommend it. That being said, I have a friend that likes it. My recommendation is that if you're still really curious, go grab it and give it a try. For the price ($3.99) if you're willing to try it for yourself despite my experience it's not a bad idea and wouldn't be a huge loss even if you had the same experience.


Final Re-Cap

Where to Buy

Both of these mascaras can be purchased on Jordana's site HERE as well as through authorized retailers such as Walgreens, Kmart, etc.

Final Thoughts

Obviously one mascara was a win and one just wouldn't work for me. I think the price makes Jordana's mascaras worth a little trial and error to figure out which formulas work best for you. All in all, if they work for you, you may find a super budget-friendly mascara alternative.

Have you tried either of these Jordana mascaras? What did you think?

  2. I've heard from several ladies that the best length extreme was a dud for them as well. At least the first one is a winner!

    1. Interesting! So odd that some love it and for some of us it just didn't work. And yeah, the first was definitely decent!

  5. First one is lovely, the second one as you say, not so great. Extreme Volumizing sounds like the way to go!

  6. I have short little lashes and go through a lot of mascara, so I appreciate a good, cheap option! I currently use two Wet N Wild mascaras that work really well for me when paired together (a volumizing and a lengthening one), but maybe I'll try the first one you reviewed here next time! Bummer that the length one didn't turn out too well!

    1. Mascara is probably the area I'm most open to drugstore because some of my favorites have been drugstore. I used to pair lengthening and volumizing mascaras as well until I found my current faves! We gotta do what we gotta do ;)
