Review: Jane Iredale Smell the Roses Hydration Spray

October 5, 2015

ReJane Iredale Smell the rose hydration spray review

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jane Iredale introduces this limited edition hydration spray Jane Iredale Smell the Roses Hydration Spray. This spray was developed exclusively for Living Beyond Breast Cancer, which receives 100% of profits from sales. <–Love that!

This facial spray contains organic Rose Damascena Flower Water which is an excellent skin tonic. The spray cleanses the skin without disturbing its natural protective shield. The advertised benefits are:

  • Rose Damascena Flower Oil and Extracts penetrate into deep layers of the skin. They nourish, tighten, cleanse, detoxify, increase blood circulation, calm and support the skin’s functions.
  • Recommended for any skin type, especially dry and sensitive skin. Calms and soothes skin while reducing redness.
  • Rose fragrance is refreshing and uplifting. It de-stresses and provides an overall feeling of well-being.

I received this press sample a few weeks ago and I’ve been using it ever since. The spray has a light, not overpowering rose fragrance. For me the spray is wonderful to use in the morning, it helps to wake me up. It’s so light when applied and it dried without leaving any sticky residue. In general I used it after washing me face without needing any additional moisturizer but if you have dry skin you may want to still use a moisturizer as this is lightly hydrating. I have oily skin so I found this spray quite balancing all by itself. Sometimes I sprayed it on throughout the day as a pick me up because the scent is uplifting, especially when you’re  feeling exhausted. I can see myself traveling with this spray, especially when flying to feel more wake when I’m jetlagged.

I absolutely love that Jane Iredale is cruelty free, it make me feel better that using a product that is not tested on animals. And the fact that this company uses natural and organic ingredients in also a huge plus. Below you can see recognize every ingredient in this spray which makes me feel safer about using it.

Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Rosa Damascena Flower Water*, Raphanus Sativus (Radish) Root Extract, Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract*, Rosa Canina (Rosehips) Fruit Extract*, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil*, Glycerin**, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract*, Calendula, Officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*, Alcohol** *INGREDIENT FROM ORGANIC FARMING ** MADE USING ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

Beauty that gives back for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

September 29, 2011

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the goal is to raise awareness of this awful disease and also to raise money for research. I lost an aunt Gladys to breast cancer and two of my other aunts’ are breast cancer survivors. My aunt Gladys and I were very close throughout my childhood. Even though we both lived in New York City we would still write one another long three or four-page letters. We enjoyed a lot of the same things like writing, painting and museums. It was devastating to learn that she had cancer and I will never forget how she suffered through a double mastectomy and ultimately succumbed to this horrible disease.

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year.

Breast cancer effects thousands of women each year and early detection save so many lives. I found several beauty brands that are giving back to breast cancer research by digging deep into their pockets to help find a cure. Here are a few on my favorite Breast Cancer Awareness specials:

Shiseido Shimmering Rouge in Iron Maiden for Breast Cancer Awareness Shiseido will generously donate $5 to Cancer and Careers for every unit of Shiseido Makeup Shimmering Rouge Lipstick in Iron Maiden (RS308) sold throughout the month of October.  The Shimmering Rouge Lipstick in Iron Maiden (RS308) retails for $25 and is available for purchase at www.shiseido.com.

elf Glitter Gloss in Twinkle Pink and Glossy Gloss in Wild Watermelone.l.f Cosmetics is generously donating 100% of their profits from two best-selling glosses, Glitter Gloss in Twinkle Pink and Glossy Gloss in Wild Watermelon to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. These  glosses are pretty and affordable at $3 each, $6 set and is available for purchase at eyeslipsface.com

Boscia Rose blotting linens for breast cancer awareness

Boscia will generously donate 10% of every sale of their Rose Blotting Linens to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. Now I’ve written about my love of boscia linens before so this is a really great product for a really great cause.

Jane Iredale Christina PureMoist Lip Colour

Actress Christina Applegate is breast cancer survivor and Jane Iredale Cosmetics created the Christina PureMoist LipColour lipstick in her honor. Jane Iredale also has a lip gloss, In The Pink PureGloss for Lips, that was created for breast cancer awareness. With the purchase of  Christina and In the Pink,  Jane Iredale will donate $2 to Living Beyond Breast Cancer (with a minimum commitment of $25,000).
