Hands down my favorite lip gloss. It's slick, not goopy, satisfyingly hydrating and works like a lip balm. Plus, the combination of star anise, wintergreen and spearmint give it bright, clean flavor very similar to Aveda's Comfort Tea. Then there's the shine, it's not greasy, but gently reflects light. And it comes in five colors. You can't go wrong with any of them, they're all so sheer but Nude Rose (pictured above and below) would be a universally flattering contender.
Jane Irdeale Peach Just Kissed
The initial Jane Iredale Lip and Cheek Stain incarnation was good, but way too blue/pink to be universally flattering. But this peach hued stain, part of their Spring/Summer 2015 launch, is just right. It still swings to a very cool and bright pink as the color develops, but it's much more wearable. In fact, I used it on a recent wedding gig - bridal party and moms all rocked it, looking very fresh and romantic.
This also is one of those holy grail products that performs (read: lasts from 8am espresso through 9pm cup of chamomile tea ) like Nars or Benetint, but with a much more healthier lineup of ingredients listed on the box. Busy moms, busy employees, or just plain busy people who don't have time to reapply lipstick–much less blush–throughout the day. This is for you.
