The Jones Road Miracle Balm —- if you own it or tried it was it worth it?

[Anonymous]

Feels thick and heavy, like coating your face in Vaseline or Crisco. There is no coverage to speak of and no, it doesn't "melt into your skin". Quite pricey to walk around feeling like you've slathered heavy cream all over your face. Definite no from me.

I still have oily skin even in menopause. Based on the reviews here, I can tell it wouldn't be for me.

I never understood how you were supposed to use it. It is advertised as a substitute for foundation but comes in blush and bronzer colors. Is it a sub for blush? Bronzer? I'm confused.

It didn’t work for me.

Interesting -- I actually love it. I use the Tawny like a blushy bronzer every morning on my cheeks, and it does make me look subtley a lot better. I use a very very very small amount, but it does give me color and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it (most days I wear eyeliner, mascara and Miracle Balm.) I've worn it almost every day for a couple years now. (When I have a more important event, I'll do real blush on top.)

Absolutely horrible product. I bought a few different colors because I listened to Bobby’s pitch and the idea behind “no make up look”. In the remote world of zoom and trams calls all day long, I was excited to have a product to apply in the morning and feel like having some color and dewy appearance. I tried 3 different colors, different amounts and was perplexed with how thick, waxy and disgusting it felt on the skin on top of smelling like an old expired product. The texture, the application, the results - it all feels like a big joke. Don’t waste your money.

Don't get it. I don't really know what to do with it. It makes me look shiny, not like a no-make up situation. Also it smells weird.

Biggest SCAM ever!
Get a can of crisco,will have same effect and smell better than the miracle balm! Forget the hippie stick I cannot even describe the horrid smell a mixture of cut grass and used crisco! I have long hair uses less than a dime size dab and left hair stringy greasy stinking! Tried covering my hair as had an appt. And the scarf had grease streaks! Had to wash off!!! This was the biggest waste of $ money should be just flush $100 down the commode! I would not use these products if they were free!

It's today's version of Mary Kay.

I love it. Makes my skin look dewy.

I fell for it. After seeing their ads a million times, I pulled the trigger on a promo for about a hundred bucks. The miracle balm reminded me of Mary Kay's emollient cream that's like a vaseline-texture, which I do like to use at night, but MK smells good. This does not and is for daytime use. The eyeshadow is no different than something I could buy in any "cheap" store. The lip gloss takes awful and is worse than kid gloss. I did not mind the mascara. But I was ripped off. Not worth 100.00.

I actually like Miracle Balm. I’m 46 with fair, dry skin and it works well for me except in really humid weather. I like the bronze and peachy colors best. It provides sheer coverage and you have to use a tiny amount otherwise it gets too greasy.

There’s a sale right now where you can get a set of mini pots of Miracle Balm (you choose the colors). Could be a good way to try them.

I'm 60 and recently bought the MB and have been enjoying it. I think it makes my skin look a bit fresher. After liking the MB I bought the foundation- like that a well but it is super sheer- I need to use a concealer for under eyes and dark spots- will stick with my favorite Dior product for that.

It's actually NOT comedogenic. You are having a breakout from some other product.

I love MAC's Hyper Real skin canvas balm paired with the serum and strobe cream. I am 48, and this trio gives me the dewiest glow I've had since my early 30s. I've been using it for a little over two weeks.

I get a lot of advertisements for Jones Road on my FB feed, and I currently have some items in my cart. My only drawback from purchasing is that there are no brick-and-mortar stores to try the products. I don't like wasting my time with cosmetics, and I am too lazy to return them if they don't work out.
