As a BlogHerAds blogger, I was sent a few Mary Kay products to try. I got the large box pictured above, which contained a mascara and two lipglosses, plus some catalogs and a lot of packing peanuts.
I had a friend who sold Mary Kay in the early '90s, and I have to say the product line and packaging is much more sophisticated than back then, when it was pink, pink, and more pink. At its 50th anniversary, the company seems to be marketing to a wider audience, with more than 20 shades in some of its foundations and skin-care lines targeted to men and younger women in addition to the products I remember. The looks pictured in the promotional materials are more on-trend, too.
I tried the Passion Red lipgloss (second from left, above) right away. I was impressed that it was not sticky at all. Like all lipglosses, it takes a lot of product to get the intense color pictured on the model, and it requires a lot of reapplication to maintain that look.
I decided to give away the other two products to one lucky reader: A Lash Love mascara in I ♥ Black (retail value $15) and a NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss in Café au Lait.(retail value $14). For the sake of my wallet, I will send the product in a small padded mailer and keep the box and packing peanuts.

I very rarely wear makeup but I do love this one face cream/moisturizer thingie that you apply before applying makeup. I can't remember the name of it but it's made by Philosophy. If I do wear makeup I only wear mascara and lip gloss so this would be just perfect! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI love Naked by Urban Decay's eye shadow. It stays on and looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil, Dark Blonde (weird thing to love maybe but it just matches so well!).

oh so many favorite beauty products! my new fave is actually a MK product--their black gel eyeliner in a jar with a separate brush. (my OA sponsor is a MK director, and she gave it to me for Christmas.) I have used Stila liquid eyeliner pen for over a year and didn't think I'd ever find a better one. MK is better. It's easier to control and stays on longer & doesn't flake.
ReplyDeleteDHC's tubing mascara--LOVE THAT!
ReplyDeleteI love Maybelline Great Lash mascara - I have tried others but always go back!
