"Jane Iredale - Powder-Me SPF Golden" xoxo

Hi Lovies,

As a pale-faced girl with a tendency to get a sunburn, I am always on the hunt for the perfect facial sunscreen. The problem with most sunscreens is that they get streaky and make my skin feel greasy. Not a great look if you ask me!

But have you ever heard of a mineral powder that protects your skin from sun damage? Well, after this article you will know everything you need to know about this revolutionary product.

The product I’m talking about is called the Powder-Me SPF from Jane Iredale.

Jane Iredale?

Jane Iredale is the president and founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, a company she founded in 1994 which brought the mineral makeup line Jane Iredale to the aesthetic industry.  She was the first to supply this industry with a line of makeup that had skincare benefits.

How does the Powder-Me SPF work?

The Powder-Me SPF can be used on the body, face and scalp for a UVB/UVA SPF 30 protection. It contains titanium dioxide and a natural clay dried in the sun and is completely free of contaminants and atmospheric pollutants.

A chemical-free, dry sunscreen for the face and body that provides Broad Spectrum SPF 30 and Water Resistant (40 Minutes) protection.

The powder is available in three shades: Tanned, Translucent and Golden

My experience?

I’m always telling people (and especially my own mother) to protect their skin from the sun. I can’t stand it when I see people tanning without any form of protection. It really gives me the shivers. So a product like the Powder-Me SPF from Jane Iredale is definitely something I would recommend. But first, up to the test!

To my surprise the powder feels very nourishing and soothing. Not something I would expect from a mineral powder, so this is a great plus! The label says it’s best used on moisturized skin, so I put it on about 10 minutes after applying my daily moisturizer, and it goes on smoothly and doesn’t clog my pores.

I tried out the new Golden shade and since I’m a huge fan of everything gold, this is a great addition to my stash. The golden powder makes my skin very radiant and gives it an instant boost. The fact that it protects my skin from the sun makes this product truly awesome!

All in all, I am pretty much ready to marry this product. It doesn’t feel heavy or like I’m wearing makeup at all, which on a super hot day is a pretty nice feeling.

Tips:

• Lift off the top and unscrew the applicator. Remove the safety seal. Replace the applicator
• Shake product down to release powder into the sponge. Dab on and then smooth with the sponge
• For the best results, layer the lightweight powder over moisturized skin. This will help the powder adhere to the skin more effectively
• The sponge cap is easily removed and can be washed. Replace when it's dry
• If you get too much sun, smooth on Powder-Me SPF to help soothe the inflammation

"REN Skincare" xoxo

Hi Lovies!

For the past months I have been testing a couple of Ren skin care products. 

"REN is skincare as it should be. Skincare that uses the latest hi-tech bio actives, is free from skin-unfriendly ingredients and is gorgeously pleasurable to use."

The products I received were sample size, and as you all know, forming an opinion about a skin care product is hard when you only have a sample. But I’ll try my very best!

Ren F10 Smooth and renew mask €31

The renew mask is formulated to gently exfoliate and detoxify, this gel mask will promote skin renewal and leave the complexion looking smooth, toned and radiant.

Of all the Ren products I’ve tried, this one is my favorite. It gently exfoliates and renews my complexion and my skin feels smoother and healthier. I’m in love with the scent of this renew mask. It kind of smells like melon or peach, I love it!

How to use: 

Apply a generous amount to clean skin. Leave for 10 minutes. Dampen enclosed cloth and gently wipe off mask. Rinse skin with warm water.

Ren Hydra-calm cleansing milk €27:

This is a gentle cleansing milk designed to leave more sensitive or delicate skin purified, fresh, calm and soothed. 

The cleansing milk promises to remove dirt, pollution and make up, leaving your skin purified, calm and soothed. I received a cleansing gel as well (see below) and if I had the choice between the cleansing gel and the cleansing milk, I would definitely go for the cleansing milk.

How to use: 

Gently rub between hands. Massage onto face. Rinse off with warm water or just wipe off with cotton pads or muslin cloth.

Ren Ultra moisture day cream €39.

Formerly known as Moisture Recharge Comfort-Plus Day Cream, this product now has a new name.

Specifically formulated with a moisture replenishing complex to leave dry skin soothed, comfortable, optimally hydrated and looking beautifully healthy. 

This day cream provides instant and long lasting hydration and replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier. The skin is supposed to feel smoother, plumper and more comfortable. The cream also protects the skin against free radicals to combat the signs of premature ageing.

How to use: 

Gently massage onto clean face and neck until absorbed.

Ren Hydra-calm Global Protection day cream €39

A moisturiser formulated to leave more sensitive skin optimally hydrated, calmed, soothed, protected and looking beautifully healthy. 

The day cream hydrates and replenishes your skin, leaving it calm and soothed. It’s also a good protection against free radicals to combat the signs of premature ageing. I love the fact that this day cream has no particular scent, it really only focuses on moisturizing your skin.

How to use: 

Gently massage onto clean face and neck until absorbed.

Ren Rose O12 Ultra-Moisture Facial serum €62

An ultra-moisturising serum formulated to give dry and dehydrated skin a powerful shield to lock in moisture and restore glowing softness, comfort and radiance. 

I love facial serums, I just do. And this time is no different. I love how this serum locks in moisture to plump my skin and helps restore the natural radiance, softness and elasticity. After using this serum, my skin appears renewed, glowing and healthy. Another great plus is that this serum dries very quickly, which is a must if you want to apply your makeup. If you could only pick one Ren product, I would definitely buy this one!

How to use: 

Apply under moisturiser in the morning and night cream in the evening.

Ren Hydra-calm cleansing gel €27:

This product is a gentle facial wash formulated to leave sensitive skin thoroughly cleansed, refreshed and soothed without irritation, tightness or discomfort. It’s designed for people with a preference to a gel rather than a milk cleanser. Personally I love a milk cleanser more than a gel cleanser, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. I especially loved the texture of the gel.

This gel promises to gently remove dirt and pollution without harshness and protect and maintain the skin's defence barrier by supporting the good bacteria.

I felt like it calmed my skin. My skin felt purified, calm and soothed.

How to use:

Rub one pump in the palms of slightly damp hands and gently massage over the face and neck for a couple of minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

I really recommend the REN skin careproducts, I couldn’t find anything negative to say about them, which means a lot! Maybe just one thing, the price.. but considering the fact that you get a large bottle containing a really good product, that should be totally worth it!

The products from Ren are available at the Cosmeticary and Your.

Until Next Time!
