JANE IREDALE is a brand that I think does not get nearly as much credit as it deserves. I have not heard that much about it but I do often see ads for it in Allure Magazine. Lately, I have been introducing all of my friends to it and they have all fallen in love with the brand as I have. All of the products that I have tried are better quality than most of the cosmetics that I have tried. Better than MAC, better than NARS, the list goes on… 

One of my favorite products that I have tried are the CREAM TO POWER EYELINERS. I have two of them and cannot wait to get more! I have the CREAM TO POWER EYELINER in BLACK PLUS and JEWEL BOX. BLACK PLUS is a trio of cream eyeliners. There is a medium brown, a soft gray and a medium black. The brown is nice because there is a slight shimmer to it so that makes it different than most of my brown cream eyeliners. The black is great for everyday use because it is not too dark so it looks great on people with light, as well as dark features. My favorite color of this trio is the gray because I do not have another gray cream eyeliner. It looks really awesome on as it opens up your eyes but without the harshness that a white eyeliner can impart. All of these are really creamy too so they can be used as bases as well. 

The other CREAM TO POWER EYELINER that I have is in JEWEL BOX. I love this quad. All of the colors are jewel tones (of course!), so they look beautiful even on their own. I love to rim my eyes with these. They really make them pop! There are four colors: a purple, teal, burgundy and green. The teal is my favorite as it brings out the blue in my eyes but all of the colors are equally amazing. Just as BLACK PLUS, all of these are creamy, without slipping off. CREAM TO POWER EYELINERS are $26.

One of the biggest makeup trends for this summer is blue eyeshadow but that is not exactly the easiest color to wear. That is why I love the PUREPRESSED EYE SHADOW TRIPLE in SEA FOAM. SEA FOAM has a brownish-blue with slight shimmer, a matte teal and a matte sky blue. The brownish-blue makes it so much easier to wear the matte teal. I love wearing this trio as it is a great alternative to the typical smoky eye. The formula of these shadows are all really smooth and rich. They apply beautifully and do not crease at all.

For a more typical smoky eye, I also turn to JANE IREDALE products. I use the PUREPRESSED EYE SHADOW TRIPLE in SILVER LINING. SILVER LINING has a light matte gray, a matte charcoal gray and slightly shimmer purplish gray. There are great for a more typical smoky eye with a slight punch of color from the purply gray. I also like to add a medium matte gray to the look to help the colors transition better and for that I just the PUREPRESSED EYE SHADOW in SMOKY GRAY. The PUREPRESSED EYE SHADOW TRIPLE is $27, while the PUREPRESSED EYE SHADOW is $17.50. The best part of these are that all of the colors are so wearable so you will get tons of use from all of these!
