Cruelty free matters greatly to me!!

I would need a translator to figure out these specific directions 😳

@@msbondutoyou520 Tap the Jones Road, don't aggressively rub it or you will dilute the effectiveness of the SPF.

How did you verify what you’re saying that putting a product on top of your sunscreen dissolves or disrupts and moves around the filters? I’ve never seen any product instructions on any sunscreen that suggests this. Thanks.

@@nancycrabtree6312 Its really simple. Sunscreen filters are made to form a filter on the skin that either is made up of physical mineral particles, (zinc oxide, titanium oxide) which are a powder suspended in a solution, a cream or a compact that form a physical thin shield like as if you put on your face a piece of clothing but that also makes the sunscreen rays bounce off the filter instead of getting to your skin. Or it’s made up of chemical sun filters that when they blend with the skin surface also forms a filter or a type of shield that while it sits there absorbs and neutralises the sunscreen rays and reflects them. There are also mixes of these forms of filters in some sunscreens. Since the skin however in reality doesn’t want anything to sit on it it will try to break down the filter. Which it does by producing oils and fats and evaporating moisture which will destroy the filters (together with the sun that also breaks it down. Thus you have to reapply every two hours if you are out in heat or strong sunlight. But rubbing also causes the filter to move and break down. And ingredients in especially moisturising products has the capacity to dilute and break down the solution that the sun filters are embedded in and can also make the filter shield uneven on the skin. Foundations and tinted moisturisers can do the same. The more oily products you put on top and the more you rub it in the more you may break down the sunscreen too. Mineral sunscreens are of course more vulnerable since they technically are the powders that sit on your skin so the thinner the layer the lesser they will protect. If you however let the sunscreen set well before putting on primers and foundations and the lighter handed you are the less you affect the sunscreens ability. Of course some sunscreens are better at sticking to the skin than others. But none are bulletproof by any means… They don’t perform magic. But will behave just like a foundation really. The more you rub in or buff in a foundation the thinner the layer will be…

@@brabalans348 That makes sense. Thank you.

You look beautiful and so much younger than the numbers!

That cracked me up too! Along with using the brow pencil since Jesus was a baby. 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!

Agree! I found Japanese sunscreens feel just like a gel and not at all like ours in the U.S. Now all my family and friends use them

I have some Korean moisturizers my daughter told me about for my older dry skin and love them ,hoping I can still use them with the Miracle balm

What a kind comment and also fantastic point about the SPF!

I started that when they were little and I've never gone back. Life is easier that way I think.

Great point! And thank you!

Yeah sunscreen in foundation/ powder is a bit misleading becase nobody uses enough of the product to get the full benefit of the sunscreen. I know I sure as heck have never used 1/3 teaspoon of foundation! :D

Oh I'm so glad you love it!

You're so kind, Rebecca! Thank you!

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge My pleasure

Hurray! Hope it helps!

I use the Australian Gold sunscreen too! So the Miami Beach didn’t look heavy with too much color? I’m very light skinned but think porcelain is too light! Your thoughts?

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU! So happy I can keep you company while you work!

Thank you so much! Wow I’m honored you watched from Alaska!❤️

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I was all by myself on a beautiful beach grounding my feet in the sand and watching you put on makeup…it was perfect!

Yes same!! That’s how they get you

Michelle I think you'd be very happy with at least the miracle balm and honestly as long as it will last? It's a really good value for money!

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge thank you so much! I think you are right I am going to give the miracle balm a try, as I do see myself using that over my sunscreen! I do t use foundation so I appreciate what you said in your video and you helpful comment! Oh and the money I don’t spend on the foundation and stick will be used to purchasing the Chanel mascara as I love how it looks and again I appreciate your honesty about it! ❤️

Hurray!!!😂❤️❤️❤️

I like the L’Oréal Age Perfect foundation. It’s creamy and comes in a jar like the balm. I just rub it on with my fingers and it feels really moist.

Yes same here! I was kind of shocked nobody else was talking about it. So glad you liked the video!

if memory serves there is a blog entry on their site discussing the order of application. I think Bobbi talks about it on the Instagram account as well. They work fine - just make sure you're letting the SPF set in and wait and apply the JR products. Also as she said, a little goes a long way and most of the videos I see with negative reviews are people over applying these products then complaining about the texture. This was a great and helpful review.

Yeah she says in the ads that it’s not like traditional makeup and you only need to tap with your finger but so many reviewers just go ahead and use it just like a traditional makeup product, use way too much and complain. Everyone’s skin is different I know, but at least they should understand how the particular product is designed to work…

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

😂😂😂❤️

I’ve recently discovered thrive too! I like their eyeliners and eyeshadow sticks. Their mascara is my special occasion one.

Whether the foundation is powder or liquid you would have to apply way too much to get the full benefit of any SPF in it. It's good that you apply the Neutrogena SPF too.

I’ll check them out!

Thank you! 🤗

Yeah I made that mistake the first time too! And I know she says they use just essential oils in the fragrance so it’s “clean” but that smell can still be a lot!

If I put on tinted sunscreen, I would consider my foundation complete.

I have used it for three years now and it’s more reliable than some of my family members.

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 🤣

IT TOTALLY IS!

I was having a “is this thing on?” Moment THANK YOU😂

Shade 5. Sorry that took so long!

Yeah it does. It wouldn’t if you tried it on skin with nothin in but with the miracle bomb on first it’s amazing.

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Ok, good to know. I have a moisturizer line that I love but need to shake things up with coverage for the summer. Might give this a try!

Thanks for watching!

I HAVE watched her tutorials. Thanks for watching!

Good thought!

It is a balm.

Thanks for the comment!

I feel the same about Estée Lauder products. I like their products except the lipstick; it smells awful and tastes bad, too (you can’t help but taste lipsticks). Theirs make me nauseous!!

Ya I got the face pencils and 2 miracle balms and it was really expensive and the pencils are not as creamy as I thought they’d be.. and the miracle balms the bronze one they recommend for me & it’s way to dark normally a cream bronzer would be fine but this stuff is just oily and greasy and the other shade I got is lighter and if I use a brush it’ll work as a highlight.. but they’re overhyped and they don’t work as they describe them…

Fascinating I had no idea!

I lived in Norway for years. They are super strict about sunscreens etc. In fact, for a while they pulled all sunscreens off the market because they contained hormone disrupters, which many in America still contain. Until those chemicals were removed, they were kept off the market. Virtually all mainstream deodorants, body and hair products in America contain dangerous ingredients, regardless of animal testing. One example, carefully read ingredients in deodorants, and you'll make sure they're never used again.
