Thanks to Beauty Bulletin, last month I was chosen as a reviewer and I was lucky enough to receive a Jane Iredale Mineral Make-up sample kit and Mascara. Not only does it have everything i could need but its packaged in a convenient little box that makes it Ideal for travelling.
Mineral Make up has been around for a while but its popularity is growing due to its health benefits and the fact that the skin is allowed to breathe.
I ,for some reason have actually never tried it up until now and wont lie but it does take some getting used to especially when you are used to wearing along lasting foundations.
The kit come with the following :
Amazing Base SPF 20 in shade Golden Glow: At first I did find this shade slightly dark for my skin especially when I consider the kit I received was for a light skin tone . The feel was very lightweight and almost as if I had nothing on, yet my skin did have a very smooth even appearance and even after a few hours I didn't feel blotchy .
Pure Pressed Base SPF 20 in shade warm Silk: A foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all in one, wow is all I can say. This definitely seemed to suit me more than the amazing base and it lasted almost all day. The nicest part was that I had a flawless finish in one step which makes it great especially for those days when you don't have time to fuss .
Pure Pressed Blush: I love my Blush, most people just add it to the cheek bone but I always try add a slightly darker shade below the the bone to give me a ''Hollowed " effect but with this it was not necessary. Not only is it subtle but it can also double as a eye shadow and there is a shade to suit everybody.
Pure Pressed Eye Shadow: The actual shade in the kit wasn't something I normally wear but it gave me a hint of colour and actually lasted very well without any creasing and again there is a a large range to choose from to cover any look.
Circle|Delete: I am not a huge concealer fan as I find most make my eyes feel tight and the fine lines more noticeable but this is not just a concealer but an eye treatment and found my eye area to feel rather hydrated after less puffy due to its antioxidant properties from green tea as well as Jojoba esters and Avocado Oil as well as the fact it contains vitamin A and C
Lip Drink: this is one Item I can say id buy over and over this product didn't leave me feeling dry after an hour like most so called lip treatments do in fact id say my lips actually felt more plump and softer then they have in a while.
Pure Moist Lip colour: I'm a gloss girl through and through so for me it was a bit heavy but the shade was nice and I would consider using it in the future.
Mini application brushes
I also received a Pure lash Mascara, It was really easy to apply with a nice applicator and I do have sensitive eyes and can say it didn't cause any irritation or itching whatsoever.
Overall I did find it a nice range and would consider it as a nice alternative for my professional make up kit and I most definitely would suggest it to client who are just starting out with make up not just from the fact it is natural and lightweight but the fact it has health benefits for the skin is an added bonus.
Thank you again BB I really Had fun with this range and look forward to sending you lots more reviews.
