The Package
The Blush comes in a small round container that is a little under 2" in diameter and only .75" tall. This little black container has a clear lid so you can easily see the color. There is no mirror, but I think that's fine because I usually only apply this when I'm still at home.
You will need your own blush brush, I have one I bought from Avon that works well. The container has a twist on cap. Take that off and I am easily able to hold both the cap and the blush in my left hand, while I apply with my right hand.
The benefit of having a twist off cap is that it won't open by accident. It stays closed even if you shake your purse/makeup bag around a lot. I can't say the same for other makeup products I've owned that only have the snap closure.
The Color
I've used blushing wine for a long time, but as this container nears its end I'm thinking of trying another color. This shade is a little orangy which was fine when I used to tan more often, but now I don't tan at all and am looking for a pinker/purple shade.
Here you can see all their shades: http://www.janecosmetics.com/productDetail.asp?productId=38. You can see how the wine color is more orangy than the rest. I'm thinking Blossom or Petal might be a good shade for me to try next! I'll let you know what I end up buying :)
The Look
The blush looks really natural in my experience. People have even told me they were jealous of how my cheeks were naturally colored...and I didn't always tell them that they weren't :) I do find myself putting on a few layers of it in order for it to show up, but that's because of my skin tone and possibly the way I apply it.
It doesn't look cakey at all, and most people won't even be able to tell it's makeup. It's a subtle effect that gives you just the right amount of color when you need it. If I'm having a particularly pale day I will gently brush it on the rest of my face as well.
The Feel
If I touch my cheeks after application, they usually feel soft as if there's a soft blanket on them. I don't feel anything unless I specifically touch my face, so it wears light without it feeling like you are wearing anything. What more can I say!
The Length
These .12oz containers may seem tiny but they last a long time. I don't wear blush every day but I do at least 1/3 of the year but they still last at least 6 months or longer. With the price being 4-5$ a pop, I was surprised it lasted so long. Like I said above, I use multiple layers and it still lasted this long. I recently tried another blush and within days it was all falling apart in chunks! That never happens with Jane.
The End!
I would recommend this blush to anyone looking for a nice subtle easy to use color. I would also say it's great for those of you who don't know a lot about makeup. There's no mixing/matching of colors with this! You just buy the one little round container and you are good to go. I use this along with my powder, a little lip color and sometimes a little eye shadow and that's my entire makeup plan! Check out Jane if you haven't already.
