I took (another trip) down Jones Road
Because another Miracle Balm was in order.
It’s hard not to love
and anything she does. Her start-up story is one for the ages and her post-Lauder-acquisition creative explosion (new makeup, wellness, a HOTEL) has been an inspiring joy to watch.Of course I tried Jones Road the second it launched. I will admit that I wasn't wowed with my first few purchases, but with time I’ve discovered products that now I couldn’t imagine doing my makeup without.
Clearly, Miracle Balm is at the top of my list because I’m obsessed with how ALIVE it makes my skin look. I’ve had “Sunkissed” since the summer, but it’s too dark for the winter (especially since I’m avoiding the sun to protect my post-laser skin). I walked out with “Pinky Bronze” which is just right for right now and later.
Note: I also went in with the intention of buying the full-size “Tawny” after using the pan in the limited-edition palette to the last drop. Since I use this shade to create a sunburn-ish look, I decided to hold off until spring—but I will be adding that one to my collection, too.
On my last trip I bought The Lippie Stick in “Tulip”—and lost it. I really enjoyed the moisturizing formula but found although it was supposed to be a “raspberry pink,” it skewed a little too brown in real life. (My lovely associate told me that’s because of my lips’ pH).
This time I got “Flushed.” This shade looks really bright in tube but remember it’s a lip balm (so you’re not getting a lot of pigment to being with). I couldn’t resist the Cool Gloss in “Rosy” (which is that pinkish-berry I always go back to). With major shine, no stickiness and an amazing mint flavor—it’s a winner!
Although it’s not time to replenish just yet, The Bronzer is another Jones Road staple for me. The “Dusty Rose” shade almost looks more like blush than bronzer, but the result is nothing short of astonishing, especially if your skin has pink undertones like mine.
