Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser Review
You on a very good day...
[purchase/affiliate] I'm one of the few people who didn't like the Jones Road Miracle Balm - in fact, I hated the feel of it on my skin so really, I've kind of ignored the brand ever since. However, suddenly, I'm seeing Jones Road everywhere so I wanted to give it another whirl. In not new news, I love a tinted moisturiser so the new Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser seemed a very good place to start.
It's quite an interesting product, relying on Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin to do the heavy lifting hydration wise - really it's a simple formula. Hemisqualane gives the texture exactly the right amount of slip and glide so it feels neither too dry nor too slippy and in terms of 'glow' aka shine, the mid point has been found. If I'm being fussy, I'd like a bit more glow but I think the point of this is that is a perfected skin look, not a made up look.
The blend is a dream - it could not be simpler to apply either with a brush or fingertips. The tint aspect is a nuance and a finish so what you'll get is me-but-better skin that looks both natural and enhanced. I mean, genius is not far off the mark. Without wanting to generalise, there is a moment in mid-life when you just don't need or want the same level of coverage on your skin and if that sounds like you, Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser is a brilliant day to day coverage where you won't look 'made up' as such, but just somewhat perfected. It's £44 for 50ml (none of your 30ml nonsense going on!) and my shade in the picture is Beige.
The other purchase I made is the Jones Road Lip Tint in Valencia Orange, one of 13 shades and probably not the right one for me.
I wish I'd been less predictable in my choice and I also wish the colours were a bit more adventurous along the orange/red scale. It feels beautiful on the lips - silky and light, and it stays put longer than your average tint. However, I don't love this orange on me - it's not quite red enough. However, all of that said, I really cannot knock it for texture, staying power and hydration. It's £26 HERE. The Tinted Moisturiser is HERE.
The foundation sounds ace. Would you use it instead of Chanel water fresh tint, or is that better? Use the lippie as a blusher, that’s what I do! ( Or I’m happy to take it off your hands!)
I am looking for a simple tinted moisturizer and this sounds good BUT Jones Road has that weird hyped up mystique. I haven't bought any of the stuff and Miracle Balm admittedly has a good hype behind it and not to mention disappointments. "Breaking the seal" makes it sound like some great magical balm when in reality, a lot of products need this done.
What I want to say is, I already know I will be disappointed but I always hope that Bobbi Brown's products will tell me otherwise. This line is good at hyping up hope.
