Jemma Kidd Mineral Skin Nourishing Tint Review

Today I am going to be reviewing the Jemma Kidd Tinted Moisturiser. I picked this up in a discount beauty store and although it has been discontinued you may still be able to get it online so I thought it was worth sharing my opinions on it. As you probably know I really like a light coverage base so I am always interested in trying out tinted moisturisers the problem I find is that a lot of the drugstore ones come in a limited shade range and are often too dark for my pale skin. 

Firstly let’s talk about the packaging it comes in a tube but what I really like about this is that it comes with a pump. Usually these types of products come in a tube but don’t have a pump and for me a pump is essential on any type of foundation product as it makes it less messy and you don’t waste as much product. Due to it coming in a tube it is more travel friendly as there isn’t a glass bottle which could get smashed (although this has never happened to me). I like the colours of the packaging a simple black tube with a pretty pink floral pattern. 

I use either my Real Techniques Buffing Brush or the Cheek Brush to apply it to my face. Sometimes I use a makeup sponge as well as I really like the finish it gives. I never use my fingers to blend base products as I prefer to uses brushes.

I got the shade 01 Porcelain which I believe is the lightest shade. Unlike other tinted moisturisers I have tried this one isn’t very orange. However it is very yellow toned which means sometimes it doesn’t look right on my skin as I usually choose something that has more of a pink toned. I can make the colour work for me though. Due to getting it from a discount store there weren’t any testers and they had a limited amount of shades.

I really like the formula of this it feels very light on my skin and not at all cakey. I’d say the coverage is light to medium although due to the colour I don’t tend to build the coverage. It gives a really natural finish that allows your skin to breath.

Overall I do like this and if the shade was slightly better I would wear it more often.

March Empties

Today I thought I would share with you my March empties as I have quite a few products that I used up in March.

I'll start with makeup empties. I used up 2 mascaras. I am one of those beauty bloggers who has a lot of mascaras on the go and even though they go out of date I often use them past this time because I don't like wasting a product. The first mascara I used was the MUA Extreme Curl which I wasn't a massive fan of. I don't particularly like curved wands as I find them very awkward to work with. I also found that this mascara didn't really make my lashes hold their curl any more than other mascaras so I wouldn't get this mascara again. I finished the Jemma Kidd I- Define Mascara which I quite liked although when I removed it with a micellar water it would flake off so I would end up with black bits of mascara on my face which was annoying although it stayed put during the day so I don't know what was wrong with it. I used up the clear nail polish from Rimmel I used this as a base coat and top coat and it was ok. It is a much cheaper option than some of the base coats and top coats on the market. 

I used the Soap and Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner, I buy the travel versions of these to keep in my travel bag and they are ok for the occasional use but I wouldn't want to use them all the time. They don't do anything special to your hair other than cleaning it and making it smell nice. The next haircare item I used up was the Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner. I really liked this conditioner it left my hair feeling so soft and it smelt amazing. 

I didn't actually finish the Nivea Express Hydration Primer but I had to throw it out because it dried out my skin and made it all flaky. I didn't like it a lot which is a shame as I normally like Nivea products. I used the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Wipes I mainly use wipes to remove swatches and any makeup mistakes. I do sometimes use them to remove makeup and these were ok. They weren't anything special they were soft and removed my makeup. 

I finished the Nivea lip balm which I love. I use this all the time before going to bed as it is thick and creamy and really moisturising. I always have at least one of these in my collection. My last empty is the Skin Wisdom Day Spa Vanilla and Neroli Body Butter which I got from Tesco. I loved this body butter as it smelt amazing and was really moisturising. It left a nice residue on my skin that left it feeling very smooth. I would get this again if I didn't have so many other body butters to use up.
