jane iredale LipDrink Lip Balm | Hydrating Lip Balm with SPF 15 | Smoothes, Moisturizes & Protects Lips | Lemon Flavor | Vegan & Cruelty-Free Makeup

I’m more of a Chapstick than a lipstick girl, but now all I use is this. My lips don’t get dry or flaky. I think it lasts longer than Chapstick or Blistex with the added benefit of a hint of color.

I started using Jane Iredale Lip Drink (balm) several years ago because it’s the only lip protection with color that I could find at my local beauty supply that came with sun protection (SPF15).Since I generally don't wear a dark lip color, I purchased the “blush” and I’ve stuck with it bcuz it’s a light, natural color. I’m very fair skinned, so I especially like having a little sun protection on my lips.It goes on very smooth and keeps my lips nice, with no chapping.

i originally received a sample size in the color Sheer (Translucent) from Ulta and ended up loving it so i ordered the color Buff from them and loved it even more. so i ordered the color Flirt from here since it was sold out on Ulta's website and i love it just as much as the buff color. for reference i'm italian and have a light-medium complexion with an olive/yellow undertone and dark brown eyes/hair. i was worried the color Flirt would show to pinkish on me but it's real subtle and looks like your lips but better. same with the buff color it's just a darker nude color and just adds a little color on the lips. all complexions can use the colors Buff & Flirt and it look subtle but nice. its nice and hydrating and i love that it has the spf in it. this will be a repurchase for me from now on, will definitely not go without it.

it's very nice, almost a stain and hydrating, but expensive for what it is and the crush color is a little 80's purple-y, at least on me. it's also hard to open the cap. I might try another color cause it's really hard to find a *good* spf tinted balm that doesn't test on animals. i like Neutrogena, but they test on animals, so trying to find a replacement. this is the best option ive found so far. I definitely like the smell!update: tried the buff color and it is super neutral, not much color to it, but it goes with anything and everything so that's a plus. still expensive fir what it is.

I bought the clear and use it as a base coat for my lip stick/gloss. It leaves a bit of a wax protective layer, but it isn't super dry or wet which is just what I wanted. The color is fine, but I prefer lighter colored lips. I saw a lot of reviews saying that the lemon smell isn't strong or noticeable, this isn't true. The lemon smell is very strong and as someone who loves lemon actually makes me really want lemon pie. If you do not like the smell of lemon I wouldn't recommend this product.

Update: confirmed it is not a changed formula. The company is sending out replacements directly. This is a seller issue. Be wary of this issue and consider buying directly from the manufacturer. 5 starts to jane irredale for customer service, but 1 star to this listing for the poor quality.Clearly this is a changed formula for crush, my favorite color and lip prroduct. In this updated formula, it appears that pigment was left out. What a disappointment. I noticed a lot of reviews on the brand website about fan favorite products getting formula changes and customers are not pleased. Seems like a surefire way to go out of business. Certainly won't be purchasing this again which is sad because I adored this product. However, I can spend way less on CVS lip balm if I wanted it to have no pigment. Kinda pissed.Tease isn't as bad, but it is absolutely lighter in pigment. Just not quite as noticeable because of how dark it is to begin with.

Overall, this is one of the better SPF chapsticks I’ve used because it doesn’t make your lips dryer and force you to reapply it to restore moisture. It also has a nice light lemony smell.That said I do have some notes- it does pill up (at least on me) which can look like dead skin on your lips, it also has bit of a white cast on me so I imagine on folks with any more pigment than I have it would be more prominent, and being only 15 SPF means you do have to reapply it more often to maintain protection.

Love the light feel and soft color. Keeps my lips soft and I feel a little more pulled together when I pop this on. Great alternative to lipstick on more casual days. Will buy again.
