Jane Iredale Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream SPF 25 is a recent launch from Jane Iredale, the Skin Care Makeup brand. This multi-tasking dynamo seems to have a lot going for it as it promises to smooth, brighten and protect your skin while providing total coverage with a luminous, velvet finish! I dunno about you but I’m quite eager to check it out….I’m even drawn to the luxe packaging.
Glow Time covers blemishes, minimizes pores, disguises wrinkles and smoothes and brightens skin. The mineral-based formula nourishes your complexion and helps protect skin from UV and free radical damage.
THE LOOK luminous THE FEEL velvet
Features and benefits:
– Contains a broad spectrum SPF 25 UVA PA++ that is water resistant for up to 40 minutes.
– Grapefruit extract promotes luminosity and radiance, minimizes the appearance of pores and wrinkles, and may help fade uneven pigmentation.
– Apple extract is a skin-smoothing antioxidant that exfoliates, refines and rejuvenates skin.
– Sunflower seed oil is rich in moisturizing vitamin E.
– Aloe leaf juice soothes and calms.
– The silky, fresh formula won’t block pores and is ideal for all skin types.
There are 6 shades to choose from : BB1 (Fair), BB3 (Light), BB5 (Light to Medium), BB7 (Medium), BB9 (Medium to Dark), BB11 (Very Dark)
Retailing at $48 (1.7oz), it is expensive but I’m very much tempted to splurge on this one…..seems like it might just end up in my cart soon! Anyone feel the same?
Available at Dermstore.com and Nordstrom.com
I’m really tempted too….the price is high for me. BB1 looks fair/cool toned like I need. If I find any discount codes, I’ll post here for you 🙂
Valerie C – Thanks so much! I appreciate that 🙂
Jane Iredale has a great rep for their foundations, I’m really glad they joined the BB cream bandwagon. It’s so thoughtful of them to cover a good variety of skin tones. When it comes to skin tones, BB creams are so well known for their extremely limiting choices. The ingredients look great too, except I wish it came in SPF 30 or more and can skip applying sunscreen underneath. Perhaps this is great for indoors. Love the lush gold packaging!
Sue – I agree with you. I prefer to have a higher SPF too but overall it does look like a wonderful product.
I swear by Jane Iredale’s PurePressed Base. I would have so many more of her products if it wasn’t for her (in my opinion) very high price tag. Now I’m debating whether I can afford $48 for this product. A tip I can share is that sometimes you can find resellers on eBay who will sell sample sizes or testers of JI makeup. There are a lot of counterfeit makeup products on eBay but I don’t think that trend has spread to the JI products yet. IF you can hold off on buying this product for a little while maybe you can find it cheaper on eBay. You can also find discontinued JI items for sale by the resellers. Just a thought.
Noorin – I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know….
