I received the Color Sample Kit ("medium" shade), the LipDrink SPF 15 Lip Balm ("buff" shade), and two Just Kissed Lip Plumpers (shades "Sydney" and "Milan").First, I want to talk about the LipDrink SPF15 Lip Balm. On the Jane Iredale website, it is stated that the product "smoothes and softens, soothes, and has antioxidant benefits". As a lip balm, it definitely surpasses the performance of other balms. It feels soo so soft on your lips-not only does it feel soft, but it really does moisturize your lips at the same time. I chose buff as my shade because on the site, it does look the most neutral and wearable. As a nurse, I feel like I always "need" to carry a lip balm. It is one of those things that is nice to have on hand during a 12 hour shift. The "buff" shade is wearable for work, which I love! These balms are vegan and gluten free, if you are interested in that!
Next, I want to talk about the Just Kissed Lip Plumpers! This plumper reminds me of a lipstick balm-pretty sheer color with a bit of moisture. The plumping effect comes from ginger, mint, and special peptides. I love that the product contains mint, because once applied, it feels cooling/soothing. When it comes to actually plumping my lips, I cannot say I noticed a huge difference in fullness, but I did notice a slight amount of plumping. Overall, I feel that the product is great for creating a hint of fullness, moisture, and a sheer wash of color. These plumpers are not vegan, although they are gluten and cruelty free.

Here,
I'm wearing the Just Kissed Lip Plumper in shade "Milan". This shade
is perfect for everyday wear//I have fallen completely in love with it!
The last product I received is the Color Sample Kit
in shade "medium". This kit includes sample/travel sizes of the
PurePressed Base in shade "Golden Glow" (see my past review for the
PurePressed Base here!), PurePressed Blush in "Whisper", PurePressed
Eyeshadow in shades "Cream", "Supernova", and "Suede", Circle\Delete 2
Concealer, PureMoist Lipstick in shade "Lily", and PureGloss Lipgloss in
shade "Beach Plum". The kit also contains a Blush Brush and a Duel
Ended Eye Brush.
Just to save this post from being too long, I encourage you to check my review out from a few years ago on the PurePressed Base.
I still agree with my previous post, but I love the product even more
now! I am obsessed with the gorgeous glow the base gives, and the wear
time of the product. Since I use a primer I like, I think it really
helps with the staying power of the product. The blush gives a very
pretty glow on the cheeks and wears well throughout the day.

The
three eyeshadow shades do not have any fallout, wear well, and are more
pigmented that the Urban Decay Naked Shadows (in my opinion!) The kit
obviously is meant to be used as a one stop shop, which is why the 3
eyeshadows look so great when paired together. Side note: Usually I fill
my brows in with some sort of pencil or powder. For the purpose of this
post, I sort of filled them in with the eyeshadow "Suede". One weekend
while away at my boyfriends' house, I realized I did not bring any brow
products. Luckily, I had this kit and used "Suede" to make do.
Surprisingly the "Suede" shade is almost perfect as a brow shade, which
comes in handy when I am on the go/traveling.All 3 shades are gluten free; 2/3 of the shades are vegan-"Supernova" is not vegan.
Wearing
all the eyeshadow shades (light application). Here, you can also see me
wearing the lipstick and gloss that comes in the kit.
When
it comes to the Concealer, you will see in the picture that it really
brightens my dark under-eye area. I was pleasantly surprised when I used
this product, because most cream concealers tend to crease on me, which
this did not. For those interested, this product is gluten-free, but not vegan.
A before and after shot of the Circle\Delete 2 Concealer
I honestly did not use the two lip products very often from this kit, just because I was so smitten with the Lip Plumpers
I received. However, the times I did use the 2 lip products in the kit,
I was happy with their quality. The lipstick was moderately pigmented,
while the lipgloss paired perfectly over it. I will say that I felt the
gloss was slightly sticky, but not in an overwhelming way that would
keep me from using it. Since it is a bit sticky, I find that the gloss
tends to last a bit longer than most other glosses, which some may be
very happy with. Find a shot of me wearing both products above. Both the lipgloss and lipstick are gluten-free and vegan.

For anyone looking to try out a few of Jane Iredales products and shades, this kit
is perfect. It is also great for those who travel, because it makes
packing SO much easier. I took this with me to California when I went
last month, along with a liquid foundation, mascara, and eyeliner, and I
was all set. I can not say enough good things about this kit and the
products I am reviewing today. I highly recommend trying out Jane Iredales products (especially if you have ever been curious!) I don't think you will be disappointed!
A few products that are either new or I absolutly want to try next from Jane Iredale:
