I am so loving the latest collection from JEMMA KIDD’s JK line and it’s so affordable. Here are the details and why I am loving these two products she just put out.

Red Carpet Lip & Cheek Tint & Gloss ($18) – this one is a stain on one side and lip/eye gloss on the other but for this one it’s all about this stain. It uses the roller ball to dispense the color so just roll some on and quickly blend it in and the nice flush lasts for hours!

I also tried it as a stain for my lips but it seemed to work better on cheeks. If you just like a slight tint of color, maybe this would work for you. Available in Dress Up (berry red) and Glam up (petal pink).

Harsh lines on eyes just don’t work all the time. Sometimes you just want a little smoke and applying liner and then smoking it out can be just too many steps. So I’m loving her I-Sculpt Shadow & Liner ($17) is a quick way to swipe on some gorgeous color. One side is the liner and the other is the side is a rubber smudgy with a complementing shadow color. Available in Mary Q (charcoal), Carnaby St. (brown) and Kings Road (plum).

Both @ Target stores nationwide.

Even though it’s September, I’m still into the bright spike of color in my clothes or on my face and it seems the magazines are also into this. Here are some that are my picks in the teal/blue category.

I go in an out of wearing what they call complexion enhancers like this next one. Some come in the form of a face primer like this one or this one and some are in the form of a powder. For the most part, most that I’ve come across are just too shimmery for someone my age to wear with the exception of the few I just  mentioned. One I will be adding to my list of keepers(color) is this JEMMA KIDD Mannequin Skin Complexion Enhancer in Canvas from the JK line. This reflective pearl beigey shimmer seems suitable for most skin tones and adds just a small kick the eyelids, as a primer, top of cheekbones, anywhere really. $24 @ target.com.

And be sure to check out the Jemma Kidd Make Up School making its debut on QVC on March 4^th @ 10pm ET. She will showcase her Long Wear Eyeliners and more!

I just cut all my hair off and am sporting a kind of short hairdo now. I was overdo and really needed a change and am loving that I did it! Since I have a round face, a short do can be kind of tough to puttl off so I’ve been looking for a blush that will really make my cheeks stand out and add some definition. (I keep thinking of this in relation to the girl who gets engaged and now has to have her nails manicure ready to really show off the ring!). This JEMMA KIDD Make Up School Blushwear Crème Cheek Color in Guava ($23 @ glow.com) is really doing the trick right now. I’ve been using a sponge and buffing the vibrant coral pink shade on the apples of my cheeks with a little dipped just under the cheekbone towards the ear. And this cream to powder formula has vitamins A, C and E. Nice one Jemma!

This product has Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate in it, which is seen by some as an ingredient of concern. Read more here.

Have you noticed that bronzer compacts seem to be huge as in the physical size of the compact and bronzer inside? These two here measure almost 4” around! Is there a reason for the size? Please let me know if you know in the comments.

Since it is the time for bronzers right now, here are two new ones that I’ve been using.

RIMMEL LONDON Sun Shimmering Maxi Bronzer for Face and Body ($7.99 @ walgreens.com) from the Sunshimmer collection

JK JEMMA KIDD Show Stopper Water-Resistant Bronzer ($23 @ target.com)

I’m pretty partial to the drawing a number 3 to apply my bronzer but that might not work for everyone, so I took to youtube (this is one from my favorite EnKore here) to find out how other people apply it. And boy, there are a lot of tutorials!
