Wearing JK Jemma Kidd Red Carpet Lip/Cheek Tint & Gloss in 02 Dress Up
My friend, please note.
Should you ever find yourself feeling like this:
Fussy face
Or like this, completely unable to focus:
Or, should you ever just want that nagging voice in your head that causes you to doubt yourself to simply shut the f*ck up, listen to this:
Or eat a bowl of this:
Or laugh at this:
Or, if you’re so inclined, slip on a little bit of this: the new JK Jemma Kidd Red Carpet Lip/Cheek Tint & Gloss, available in Dress Up and Glam Up ($18 each).
Swatches from the left: the clear gloss, 01 Glam Up Lip/Cheek Tint, 02 Dress up Lip/Cheek Tint, and Benefit Benetint (for comparison)
Wearing JK Jemma Kidd Red Carpet Lip/Cheek Tint & Gloss in 01 Glam Up
I find that even on my worst days, a dash of cheek/lip color always perks me up.
JK Jemma Kidd Red Carpet Lip/Cheek Tint & Gloss
- A sheer liquid lip/cheek stain with a roller-ball applicator on one end, and a clear lipgloss with a doe-foot applicator on the other
- Methinks the unscented, unflavored liquid excels as a lip tint; it applies evenly all over my lips (and fades evenly, too)
- As a cheek tint, it applies patchy on me, emphasizing any dry flakes I might have, and it takes a while to blend on top of either bare skin or liquid foundation
- The clear, non-drying gloss goes on smoothly and has a non-sticky, medium-weight texture that I like; it’s also unscented and unflavored
I probably won’t be using these as cheek tints, but that’s because my lips want them all to themselves. 🙂 Mad props to JK Jemma Kidd for opening my eyes to the joy of lip products with roller-ball applicators. Dang, feels so good…
PRICE: $18 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Target stores

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Thanks for the nice thoughts earlier today, holmes. I feel much better now. Hope you’re having a nice night. I’m about to do my nails now on the floor while I finish watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (he’s in Southie). See you soon.
Swatch And Learn says
You look really elegant with your hair styled like that! 😀
Karen says
Thanks! 🙂
Amanda says
Dress up looks GREAT on you! Perrrfect for fall! :]
Karen says
Hi Amanda,
I can’t believe fall is right around the corner. Have you picked up any new colors for the season?
Amanda says
I picked up MAC Captive, and im eyeing Plum Bright from their Fall Colours collection coming out soon! ahaha to spend…. or not to spend? :p
Stacey says
You fussy face is adorable Karen! Love the way you styled your hair too.
Glam up doesn’t exactly wow me on the cheeks but it does look fab on the lips!
Karen says
Hi Stacey,
These are really fun as lip tints. Have you tried any JK Jemma Kidd products before?
Stacey says
I don’t actually own any Jemma Kidd products but seeing all your swatches has got me wondering if I need to change that. I would love a good lip tint!
Vonvon says
02 looks like a very pretty color, even redder than Benefit Benetint!
Hope you are feeling better.
I am having trouble getting my girl out of bed, into her school uniform. Lol
Karen says
Hope you managed to get your daughter off to school on time, Vonvon. Have a nice day!
Ashley says
Maybe I haven’t been reading MBB enough (impossible) but something looks different about you Karen. It’s a good different though! I think it’s the brows, is it the brows?!
Karen says
Hmm, it might be the bangs, Ashley. I did a side sweep in these pics!
peach_ says
You look gorgeous, Karen! I love your hair like that. What color are you painting your nails?
Karen says
A couple of colors from Les Jeans de Chanel! What color are your nails right now?
Jen W says
What a great idea! Shame it applies patchy on the cheeks. Looks stunning on the lips though!
Karen says
It probably won’t be a problem if your cheeks aren’t as dry as mine, Jen.
Have a great day!
beingpretty says
You look gorgeous, Karen!! The hairstyle suits you a lot!!
Karen says
Thanks, Beingpretty. 🙂
Shannon says
How does it differ from Benetint’s Pocket Pal? It’s the same price and I’d just as soon stick with a product I know works.
Karen says
Benetint works better on my cheeks both on bare skin and on top of liquid foundation. If you’re using it as a cheek tint and like it you might want to just stick with it.
Chris25 says
Why you gotta show me that soup? Now I want soup! LOL.
The lip tint looks really pretty on you. 🙂
Karen says
Soup is good food! It’s going to be in the 90s here today… I’ll still make you a bowl if you want some, LOL!
Nina says
ill take the soup please! <3
Karen says
Sho’ nuff, lady!
Nina says
why thank you! i saw the recipe and im totally making this!
Kim says
I love anything Rollerball! I might have to give Dress Up a whirl. Btw, killer brows, woman! 🙂
Karen says
Thanks! I’ve been all about my MAC 266 and Concrete Eyeshadow lately…
Speaking of rollerballs, have you tried this gloss from Tocca? I have it on my lust list.

Kim says
Oh, hello, Amalfi. Tocca is so beautiful. I’ve never tried any of their stuff, but I’m always really tempted. My Sephora list just got bigger. 🙂
Faye says
These look interesting — worth giving a try.
Hey, Karen, did you see this picture? It will not help you kick your Gosling crush :).

Karen says
The pic with him making a smoochy face with the bulldog? LE SIGH!
I swear I’m starting to reach freaky levels of obsession with the guy. But we won’t go there (for now, at least, LOL!).
Daphne says
I love your new pictures 🙂 The depth of field is amazing!!! New camera/lens, care to share?
Elle says
Glad you’re feeling better today 🙂 Ohhhhh and you know what put me over the edge with my Gosling love? This clip of him salsa dancing with Ellen on her show. Doesn’t help that he says the name Ellen, either. I’m embarassed to admit how many times I watched that…there are just too many things with that guy. LE SIGH.
Elle says
Aaaaand this should be it:

Instant Karma says
Oooh, these are pretty! Then again, between Benetint, Posietint, and ChaChatint, I probably have my tints covered.
I’ve never actually seen No Reservations even though I adore Anthony Bourdain (and I just ordered Kitchen Confidential for my new kindle, yay). His Top Chef blog is quite possibly the best reason to watch the show.

pixi and this brand are so expensive for a drugstore brand
