I have been a “user” of Mary Kay for many, many years. Many.
So, when an opportunity to review my beloved Mary Kay arose, I was all, “REVIEW? MARY KAY? GIMME. LOVE.”
Surprisingly, as familiar as I am with Mary Kay… I got a little surprise. Receiving the new goods helped me realize I had fallen into a bit of a rut. I had my found awesome… my colors, my “system”… But then I got my box, and was introduced to a pinker shade of lip color than my “norm”… a more neutral color pallet for my eyes… and my ever-favorite Ultimate Mascara.
Wanna see what that Mary Kay did to me???
I’m sorry. I may have gone a little bit overboard. But I couldn’t help it!
And the reactions of my 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter… were PRICELESS! Upon first sight of their mother… both said, “WOW!” My daughter added, “You look REALLY pretty mom!”
And we know that kids are the Honest of the Honest, so. It was official – me = pretty!
Let me tell you what it is I love about Mary Kay:
• Their mineral eye shadow stays on and gives great coverage.
• Their compacts are magnetic, lovely and the product stays in!
• My blush and eye colors are in one place.
• The Ultimate Mascara doesn’t give me that “black-eye” shadow… it wears and wears and wears…
• And this!
I love me some good make-up, but I have always had a hard time knowing HOW to create a “look”. I received the Brilliant Blue Eyes mineral eye color bundle, and it showed me HOW to use the 3 neutral colors to help bring out my the blue in my eyes.
It worked, no?
