Ready to Wear Fall 2015: New from Jane Iredale

I have been a longtime fan of Jane Iredale's and have found the brand to be long-wearing and have a plethora of color options for all skin types and skin tones. 

The Fall collection is filled with rich colors that work with any mood or outfit! The new PlayOn Lip Crayons ($18 each)  are  available in seven colors and I swatched Luscious, Naughty and Saucy below. 

Charming is a creamy bubblegum pink, Naughty is a creamy brick red, Luscious is a creamy rose brown, Blessed is a shimmering sheer nude, Yummy is a creamy sheer pink, Hot is a creamy pink red and Saucy is a creamy hot coral. They are easy to blend and I find the sleek pencil design to be comfortable and precise.

The Smooth Affair for Oily Skin Facial Primer & Brightener ($48) uses revolutionary PoreAway technology to help reduce the appearance of pores. It color adjusts to your skin to create a smooth, matte finish. It has all of the benefits of their award winning Smooth Affair Facial Primer & Brightener, now formulated for oily skin! 

I liked both products and was over the moon to see the colorful lippy's for Fall! You know how I love colorful lips!

" I wanted to create a collection that was colorful but wearable, because no one should be a wallflower." - Jane Iredale
