My Review

My Review of Jane Iredale Skintuition Liquid Foundation SPF 30
My Review of Jane Iredale Skintuition Liquid Foundation SPF 30

I have to be honest, Jane Iredale has never really been a brand I’ve gravitated towards. It’s not one I ever come across when I’m browsing online, and it definitely hasn’t had much airtime in the UK beauty scene. But when I heard about the new Jane Iredale Skintuition Liquid Foundation SPF 30, I was intrigued. It’s marketed as a skincare-foundation hybrid, and it offers SPF 30.

So I gave it a go and I have to say, from the very first swipe, I was surprisingly impressed.

First Impressions: Application & Texture

From the first application, I was really into it. The texture is silky and blendable and it’s not too runny and not too thick. I found that it glides on beautifully with my REESON No. 1 brush which I use for pretty much all my complexion tasks. It delivers a solid medium coverage, and what stood out to me straight away was how incredibly blurring it is. It softened the look of my pores and texture almost instantly.

I haven’t quite found my perfect shade match just yet (I tried shade 24, which is slightly too light for me), but I’ve been making it work beautifully by warming it up with my REESON Beauty Bronzing Balm over the top. Once everything’s blended in, it looks seamless.

Finish: Luminous, Radiant & Skin-Like

One of my favourite things about this foundation is the finish. It’s radiant, but not shiny. Think healthy, fresh, dewy-but-not-greasy skin. It gives that “lit-from-within” glow that I absolutely love and it requires little or no skin prep to get that glowy look.

I find that it doesn’t cling to dry patches, doesn’t sit in fine lines, and doesn’t look cakey or mask-like. Just a super flattering, natural skin finish.

Longevity & Wear Test

What really surprised me was the staying power. On the first day I tried it, I applied it in the morning, ran around all day, and when I looked in the mirror at bedtime, I was pretty impressed. Everything was in place, and my skin looked fresh and smooth.

For something with such a radiant finish, it has amazing longevity. I didn’t need to touch up at all throughout the day. And for reference, I have combination skin, and this held up beautifully with no patchiness, oiliness, or separating.

Who is it Best For?

I think the Jane Iredale Skintuition Foundation is perfect for:

  • Dry skin types – because of its hydrating, radiant finish.
  • Mature skin – it doesn’t settle into lines and blurs texture beautifully
  • Combination skin – like mine, especially if you love a glow

Oily skin types might need a bit of powder in the T-zone, but the formula itself isn’t overly greasy or slippery.

Final Thoughts: Do I Recommend It?

Even though Jane Iredale isn’t a brand I’d typically reach for, this foundation has really impressed me. The Jane Iredale Skintuition Liquid Foundation gives you radiant, healthy-looking skin, blurs imperfections, and lasts all day. The only downside for me is not finding my ideal shade match (yet!), but I’ll definitely be exploring more of the range.

If you’re after a skincare-foundation hybrid that looks and feels like real skin and holds up beautifully throughout the day, this is absolutely worth checking out.

98 Beauty Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque by Lorna Luxe Review

Influencer and fashion and beauty content creator Lorna Luxe recently launched her own beauty line, 98 Beauty, with a focus on targeted, ingredient-led haircare. I’ve been testing the Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque, and while the aesthetic is very on-brand, I was curious to see how it actually performs in terms of hydration, formulation and results.

This is an all-in-one treatment hair mask:

  • Formulated with an exclusive Hydra Bond Complex
  • Designed to restore elasticity and manageability
  • Provides protection against UV and friction damage
  • Delivers lightweight shine

Key Ingredients

Brazil Nut Oil – for shine and softness

Hydrolyzed Elastin & Wheat Protein – to reduce breakage and improve flexibility

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein – to strengthen hair from within

Colour Protection Complex – helps to prevent colour from fading

Olive Oil – to smooth, soften and protect against breakage

Avocado Oil – provides moisture and elasticity

Castor Oil – to support growth and lock in hydration

The Fragrance

The fragrance is minimal but intentional. It is a milder version of the fragrance created by Azzi Glasser for the L.A – SPACE No 98 Ghost Candle; it’s fresh, clean and slightly musky, with a soft floral undertone. It’s not overly perfumed and doesn’t clash with other scented products. If you’re sensitive to strong fragrances, this will likely sit well with you. The scent lingers faintly after rinsing, but not in an overwhelming way.

Hydration & Performance: How Well Does It Work?

The 98 Beauty Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque literally just launched so I haven’t been using it that long, however, I did get a small lab sample pre-launch and have been able to try it.

After one use, hair did feel noticeably more hydrated and smoother, particularly on mid-lengths and ends. The hydration lasts around 2-3 days, on unwashed hair. It’s too soon to judge the long term benefits, but the masque adds softness and manageability without residue or heaviness.

Packaging: Minimal, Luxe-Inspired Design

Lorna Luxe wanted a minimal design that reflected her signature aesthetic. It is clean, pared-back and neutral. The jar is a matte white with minimal branding and is stylish but understated. It looks premium but not flashy.

Final Thoughts

The Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque is a thoughtfully formulated product that suits a wide range of hair types and routines. It delivers reliable hydration, softness, and a salon-fresh feel without relying on silicones or fillers. I have been impressed with how smooth-feeling it left my hair (which is naturally coarse) even after a few days of using it.

If you’re building a more minimal, ingredient-conscious haircare routine, this will be a strong addition, especially for dry, frizz-prone, or colour-treated hair.

Where to buy it

The 98 Beauty Hydra Bond Hydrating Masque is £35 for 175ml and it is available now via the link below. There’s also a matching shampoo and conditioner.
