My personal review of your video is that you are accustom in using to much product. Less is more in this incident. When you applied "the blush", why so much?, why are you going that high? It wasn't blended at all. Looked clowness. I have 1 color balm as a try. Not to keen on the smell, but that's me.

Also in Oregon, originally from Florida, and holy moly my skin misses humidity. I think that this would be fantastic in the winter and the bone dry hot summers. I'm 53 and I will try this very sparingly because I don't want to feel sticky. Thanks for your review.

Also an Oregonian… I wish they had this product in local stores. I could try one product - see if I like it and buy more if so. But… am nervous to buy after watching video. (Though I thought she looks radiant with the products she used. But if sticky feeling, I do t want that.)

@@T.R.27 Hi TR, I will see how the foundation works in summer also! If I don't use this foundation my other makeup looks very matted! And! have you tried Jones Road Oil facial cleanser? Also a fav of mine. So different, never thought of an oil as being a cleanser???? I have yet to see how long one tube of it lasts. Otherwise a great product.

Using a a light dusting of powder would be the way to go. Why don’t stores sell this makeup) for would like to see how it goes and n first.

It never dries down!

Yeah! I really loved the final look. She looks glowy. I forwarded the video several times to compare. Also, it doesn’t look like make up, but natural skin! Have you tried the products already? I’m thinking on buying the foundation and a miracle balm.

It’s great , try it, they hve a 30 day money back.

@Vickiboe592 - same here! I’m 53 yo and using Laura Geller. I don’t HATE it, but looking for something that won’t set into my wrinkles without having to secondarily “rub it out”! Maybe THAT is BOTOX! I’m using everything from PREP-H 😂 to various Ordinary products, and PIXI, to no avail! 😬

I have to disagree with this review. I have been using Jones Road products for a year now. I am 70. This product is wonderful, from the Miracle Balm to many other, WTF foundation, I have bought two colors, face sticks, mascara, eye liner pencils, 2 colors, cheeks and lips, 2 cream eye shadows, face powders. Everyday I am using some form of combination and I love the results. I will say the way Bobbi Brown conveys her vision for makeup, especially for well seasoned individuals like you and me, was the attraction. I wanted something that would even out my complexion and just let me look like a better version of me. I am not interested in looking all made up to do the grocery shopping. But, look better?… This “young lady” that did this video seems to have used too much balm. I will agree that the initial feeling after applying the MB is a little tacky, but if applied right the balm does absorb and it provides that improved look while not looking like makeup has been applied. When I apply Flushed MB to my cheeks it subdues and looks like nothing is there but look in the mirror and you will see a lovely glow… For what it’s worth, I have a long term review as a woman with no agenda except to have the best quality products on my skin while getting the results I am looking for. Do I use other brands? Of course. But, I have not been disappointed with JRB and will continue to buy their products.

@@dianecastagna281 I am currently using Laura Geller as well. I just ordered Jones Road , two balms and foundation. I am anxious to try them. I just watched another influencer and she loved the products and she looked fantastic. 🤞

@@dianecastagna281 I like using Au Natural miracle balm, but find I still have to use my Mally primer so my foundation doesn't settle into the wrinkles. The balm does make my foundation last longer.

me too. I think that she looks very pretty. As a matter of fact, I watched this review WITHOUT the sound, and I was thinking she loved it until I started reading these comments. I LOVE the Jones Road line. I am 60 now and my skin is not the skin I had even 5 years ago. This line is Just Right for me ❤🌹

People forget every one's skin is different and some need more coverage than others, but personally I hate anything that feels tacky on my face, I prefer it to dry as soon as it's blended, so it doesn't sound like the product for me, but if it works for you, that's great.... I like Kimberleys opinions though, I think my skin is more like hers. 👍

I love it as well

@@colleendavis8934 Me too!!!! LOVE Miracle Balm!!!!

I love it too. I have dry skin and it is wonderful for me

Thank you for your opinion expressing your own experience. It’s nice to have more than one review. I agree with your comment… We are all different.P

Very curious about using the face pencils over the miracle balm. Does the oil in the miracle balm prevent the concealer for staying in place? Do you use any powder over the miracle balm? @klondike32258

Well I thought the same I have a few items lip liner etc but no big deal I really wanted to try that foundation balm but even the founder on a infomercial while putting it on asks the team does my face look too greasy ? That was a huge red flag 🚩

A grease 💣 Love her ❤

It’s doesn’t get on clothes. I have it.

I am not a makeup person. I live on farm and work outside and I love this product as I don’t want a bunch of makeup , but I want a little something to even out my skin, but look natural. It doesn’t stay sticky for me and it makes my skin feel great! My skin is normal. Maybe it makes a difference? I am 53.

Yes, I agree it looks greasy

Just watching you put on the product, I was thinking to myself, you’re using was too many products for what you’d actually need. Like, WHY put the oil on an already moisturizing product????

@@catherinerahn4800 I thought the same thing! First, I felt the coral "blush" was too dark a color for someone with such fair, almost alabaster skin. Secondly, I felt too much of that product was applied; using a lighter hand when applying it, and using it mostly on the "apples" of the cheeks, as suggested by Jones Road, may have resulted in a far softer look. It took me some time, as well as trial and error, to learn that a very little of each product goes a very long way. At first, both the moisturizer, that I use at bedtime, as well as the Miracle Balm and WTF seemed greasy and heavy; they sort of sat on top of my skin. I contacted Jones Road and was told to use much less of each product. Cutting the amounts I used of each by at least half has provided me with a complexion that feels comfortable - moisturized, but not oily or heavy, as well as a look that glows just a bit. I have to wonder at Jones Road's business model, because I suspect that each of the products I've bought will last a very long time, so I won't have to reorder anytime soon. Further, the use of two pencils seemed excessive; one could certainly have provided coverage of blemishes and darkness under the eyes. Also, one of the pencils, plus two very similar shades of eye shadow on the eyes and lids, again, seemed excessive. One of the things I like best about the Jones Road products I've bought is that they're versatile. The pencil I use easily doubles as a first coat on my eyelids, as does a very, very light touch of Dusty Rose Miracle Balm. Granted, I'm nowhere near an expert in using makeup; however, with a bit of patience and coaching from people at Jones Road, I've found the level of coverage I feel looks natural and what I want with WTF foundation and color with a bit of Miracle Balm or my old standby Clinique cheek stick. For those of you who've ordered products from Jones Road and have a first impression of WTF!!! - and I don't mean the name of the foundation - give it more than a couple of tries, and try using a lot less, and blend each product in very well! I hope you'll be as satisfied with Jones Road products as I've become. I just feel prettier when I have her WTF foundation and Miracle Balm on. I feel more confident wearing my 73-year-old face, which has had numerous sunburns and has lived in Colorado's very dry air most of my life, out into the world, or just futzing around the house, without feeling "made up."

I agree; the “scent” is like rancid oil.

Me too. I replaced my usual Chanel with the WTF foundation

I love the Flushed colour as well. I havnt tried it under nake up so will give it a go

I see most reviews say the say thing, "a greasy mess".

I'm sure you can return all of the products and get a refund.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@nancyzuckerman9384 she just said she liked it. Why would she return it? 😊

I love the foundation, I haven’t tried anything else but the foundation gives me a lovely natural complexion, without the horrible makeup feeling. I have redness, scarring from an accident and it works beautifully. I do feel less is more with this product but I prefer it over some high end foundations.

I love the products. I have very dry skin and I love the moisture it provides I found less is more with the Jones Road. I don’t like to look like I have makeup on so this is a great product for me.

I have been trying to cancel.my order and can't reach anyone. I dont trust a return on this. They make it hard to be able to reach someone to talk to.I dont trust companies like thia.They make it were you almost have to keep this product that does not work for you.

Don't forget that youtubers can deduct products they buy as business expenses on their taxes.

Same age as you & love Jones Road. I think she used to much product.

@@Joy80JJ It is easy to use too much. I made that mistake. When I first tried Seint, I over applied. It’s a totally different technique than regular foundation. I didn’t see Kimberly use powder , a product I don’t wear. Kimberly usually applies setting powder. Personally I thought it looked great, very natural and glowy. That’s what I want in a foundation.

I need the moisture but hate the sticky. I use it under a powder foundation and it’s perfect! I’m 62 with dry skin. I use Au Naturel over sunscreen as a primer, then powder foundation. I get a perfect finish with just a hint of moisture and the powder doesn’t shift into the lines. It has improved my skin condition with regular wear.

These are products that are advertised and seem to be formulated for "mature" skin, which tends to be drier. I'm 73, live in Denver, which generally has very low humidity, so I seem to be very much a part of Jones Road's target audience. I love how I look wearing the products I use. Granted it took me a few times of applying too much Miracle Balm and/or WTF before I got it right. Now, I go out into the world, or just putter around the house looking younger, but not at all made up.

Bobbi brown cosmetics I love so much so chic so elegance

Kathy Shoucair: In the future, don't landfill perfectly usable product. I would have gladly given it an appreciated home. *When Decluttering:* Please consider the following to reduce one-time use/waste: I donate new and gently used skincare and cosmetic items to a women's victim's shelter and LGBTQ organizations who are thrilled to receive such things as you are decluttering many can be sanitized. Every shelter has different policies, just call to inquire. I feel there are not enough beauty influencers passing products along to those in need or talking about this concept of helping those in your community or donating them to organizations that will. Thousands of people subscribe to Ipsy, BoxyCharm, FabFitFun and end up with unwanted/unused, swatched once products. Organizations like *Project Beauty Share* will gladly sterilize and donate used cosmetics and skin care to women and families who need help to have been displaced, have escaped violent situations, are experiencing poverty, or other barriers in life that have a direct impact on their well-being, hope, and dignity. Give them away to friends, family, in order to re-home them to give perfectly usable product a fighting chance before ending up in a landfill. You can give them away via Nextdoor, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Depop, Glou Beauty, OfferUp, etc, all are perfectly acceptable. People like me would happily come pick them up! Mascara Wands: *Wands for Wildlife* is in need of used mascara wands help save wild animals. The organization collects, cleans, and distributes the wands to wildlife services in need. The wands are then used for animal care. They remove debris, bugs, and eggs from fur. Please consider inquiring with your local women's shelters and look up the above, use your voice to spread awareness. At the very least, they can be used as pigments because that's what makeup is: for artists, kids, etc. It's a medium of color to be used, not to end up in a landfill. You could even compost it when removed from the packaging. Example: Powdered formulas last indefinitely. So long as it doesn't smell and the product is performing, it's good to use. Those dates sometimes relate to break down but more often they relate to getting rid of perfectly usable product so you feel like you need to purchase again. It's how the industry ensures profit. It depends on the product. Use common sense. There is also a container icon with an M and a number, which means once you open it, the guide is to use the product within for example 12M (12 months). Add a sticker to when you open it. Pencils can be sharpened to unused, clean product, etc. Pump bottles can be re-used for other things. Stickers can be removed from glass bottles and these containers can be re-used. If the product is new enough or untouched enough, you can even make money on selling it via Poshmark, Glambot, Ebay, Mercari, Reddit MakeupExchange, YouFromMe, etc. (Content creators are often obligated to not resell however.) Plenty of people are always looking for discontinued and current products. Nordstrom's project "BEAUTYCYCLE" accepts the following: HAIR CARE: Empty bottles, tubes and caps from shampoo, conditioner and styling products SKIN CARE: Empty bottles, tubes and dispensers from cleansers, toners and moisturizers MAKEUP: Empty tubes, tubs, pans, palettes and twist-up containers from all cosmetics SAMPLES: Trial-size tubes and vials, excluding perfume It would be wonderful to see a trend of every content creator each making a dedicated video and short to educate the public on these options. Lastly there is the “Pact Collective”. Visit their website to find drop-off bin locations like *ULTA, Caliray, Saie, Westman Atelier, Fenty, rms beauty, Sephora, and so many more*. Many cosmetic companies are part of this group to help you find a collection bin to discard Pact-accepted empties. Don’t have access to a bin? Send your empties back through their mail-back program. Please spread the word!

@@violetviolet888 Thank you so much for all the valuable information on how to sustainably dispose of unwanted beauty products. You listed so many great resources. My city has two homeless shelters and one women's shelter for dosmetic violence victims. Unfortunately they will not accept products that have been used, only new items. I will keep all of your ideas in mind when next I am decluttering my products. Appreciated!

@@violetviolet888 PS I was just reading some of the comments and I did try the Jones Road products using just a bit to see if I could avoid the stickiness, but it was sticky no matter how much or how little I applied. I think it may work for women with very dry skin, but ugh don't know how they could tolerate the feel of it on their faces.

Thank you for telling us the truth about this very pricey makeup. I have heard others say how greasy and sticky it is too.

Thank you for your review. I would like to try the foundation and wish they had small sample sizes to purchase.

Have you tried Retin A? Generic is Tretinoin . Best decision I ever made for my skin care, about 4 years ago at 56…game changer for me 🥰

@@franlynch9428 I did try Tretinoin last year, and after trying lower strengths, I was still having reactions from it. Retinol fries my skin. What brand of Tretinoin do you use?

@@arlenelovelace18 the tube say Northstar ….if that helps. I started with a pea size amount mixed with a little of my moisturizer, about twice a week. Then worked up to every other night…the weakest strength. I am now the next higher strength . But still about every other night.

The first month or so there is shedding of your skin, peeling which is a challenge, but if you stick with it that will stop. Ps my skin is extremely sensitive

i use curology and love it. @@arlenelovelace18

LOL

I saw someone else complain of stickiness and BB commented saying try “dabbing” on your skin, as opposed to rubbing it on. I don’t remember the reason behind it but maybe you could try that? Expensive lipgloss if not 😮. I’ve been getting bombarded lately w ads for this brand and I’m so glad I ran across this review and all the comments !!

Can you tell me how you used it .I just purchased the natural as well as roses balms .My intent is that Fall / Winter I am so dry and flakey from Chgo weather that this will help hydrate my skin . Any info would really help 🤔 Thanks , Barbara

She does say to put spf on under the foundation & or balm and recommends supergoop.

@@Misskitty15…Why Super Goop?!?!

@@donohoe0 I guess cuz it's chemical & not drying like many zinc based SPF's but that's just my guess, not my preference.🤔

Gayle Angell: Use less product and it won't be sticky.

Get a refund

Miss Kitty. I love the products. I think those who use powder, should try applying powder. I get many compliments when u wear WTF. I wear very little, and stamp in with sponge it looks great. The ingredients in the WTF are skin care products. I don’t use a lot of skincare before applying. Some days I just wear Miracle balm, instead of skincare for a natural glow look. I have long wavy hair it isn’t that sticky. I use very little. You are I are in the minority , LOL. I think Kimberly looks very pretty and I like her glow!

@@goldie4245 agree! It's a very natural look. I think she looks real pretty too! Yeah if she put powder on top she might like it better plus there are no chemicals in these products. Very healthy for the skin. 🙂

I have to agree with you! I love all of her products that I’ve gotten so far. I threw out all my other foundations & now only use hers.

@@cindyhuber3303 I think her WTF is great with less skincare , and for those who powder, it would help stickiness. Kimberly normally powders, I don’t, it truly looked great imo on her.

Thank you for your reply. I’m going to try the foundation on my mature skin. Especially knowing that it does soak in and doesn’t stay oily on your skin… I believe that not overdoing it is probably the key.

J'adore this line of cosmetics! #JonesRoad rocks!

She gave it several tries. “Applied correctly”.. she used it exactly how she wants to use it. It doesn’t work for her. Period. She didn’t use it “wrong”. To each their own. You like it, she hates it.. each are valid opinions

I have no idea why she used face oil over the foundation. That said, this is the third review from someone over the age of 50 who didn't like the foundation. All said it was too moisturizing. It is probably great if you have really dry skin.

This sounds like the perfect product for me since there isn’t a moisturizer that is too much for me.

I live in Denver. Today, it was 98 degrees, with 14% humidity, so my skin loves the little bit of extra moisture that Jones Road products give me.

I am sure she stumps Jones Road for free.

Thank you for adding that. I could see where it would be helpful for dry skin. I sure wish they would sell samples… Try before you invest.

Thank you for your review. I’ve been checking out this line for my 73 year old skin. Other make up foundation is not looking good on me. I just wish they had small sample sizes to purchase.

Make up revolution has a cheaper dupe for the miracle balms. I got one, kinda like on my cheeks for my very dry skin. It is tacky but don’t mind on my cheeks. If your curious maybe try 1 of theirs.

@@carebear8146 Thank you for the recommendation. I actually have 2 of their colors and I really like the formula. Thanks for sharing and be well.

@TB: I thank Kimberly as well, particularly when prices are more than likely in American dollars so would be even more so depending upon currency exchange rates. i.e.: Between American and Canadian for example.

Debra, I love the BOOM products as well, so quick and easy to apply and the color stays all day. Got some for my daughter at Xmas time, she doesn't have time for makeup and only wears it on occassion. Thought this would be something she could swipe on and she loves it.

Kimberly stated that she did use her fingers - she used a brush to get it out of the packaging but used her fingers to spread it around.

Helpful, thanks
