Review: Jane Aqua Ceuticals Sheer Tinited Moisturizer SPF 30



Quality: 5 out of 5
Performance: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Size: 1.5 oz
Price: $6.99
Where To Buy: Walgreens, Rite Aid
Will I Buy Again: Yes!

I saw it at Walgreens and just had to try it. I don't usually do inpulse buys but I figured since I've never use a TM before I could try this out and wear it to the gym at the very least.

This is the first tinted moisturizer I've ever tried, so perhaps I don't know what I'm missing but I love this product! I know I'm going to use it tons in the summer when my family has swim/birthday partys (which is very often May-August).

This product comes in 4 shades: Fair (very fair, pink or porcelain undertones), Light Warm Tones (beige or yellow undertones), Medium Warm Tones (mediterranean, tanned complexion) and Dark Tones (deep, warm complexion). I use the lightest which is suppose to be for fair/pink toned skin but its great on my light neutral/warm skin.



PROS:
-SPF 30, protects your skin
-paraben free
-has green tea and white tea extracts
-gives good light to almost medium coverage, I have huge pores, uneven skin, and breakouts but I feel ok going out in just this (i.e the gym, quick errands, or beach/pool)
-makes my skin a little glowy
-gives light oil control, not as much as my normal foundation but I can just rinse my face mid-day and re apply which is good because you need to touch up sunscreen anyways
-makes a nice base for regular foundation, my foundation goes on really nice over it
-you get a very good quantity for the prize, 1.5 oz for $7

CONS:
-strong sunscreen smell when you put it on and take it off, but I kind of like the smell of sunscreen

Review: Jane Blushing Cheeks Blushes



Quality: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Size: .12 oz
Price: $4
Where To Buy: Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal Mart. Almost every week at least one of those places has it BOGO too.

Lord I LOVE these blushes! For a super cheap drug store brand, Jane has sure impressed me (and many others) with these little pots of heaven! I think there are 8 shades in all, they are just $4 and incredible quality.

Blushing Earth Sheer is a hot pot of gorgeous peachy coraly goodness! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this blush it. There is a very fine shimmer, but its not very noticable when you're wearing it. This goes on semi sheer but is buildable. I just get a lovely glow when wearing this. This is my favorite blush out of all the ones I own.

Blushing Blossom is a great soft cool pink blush. It has no shimmer. You only need a little bit to get good color. This is my 2nd favorite blush.

Blushing Petal is a great muted pink blush with a little bit of peach. There is no shimmer. Great color payoff.
