Have you Met My Friend, Mary Kay?
It has been documented here on my bloggity blog before that my love for Mary Kay® products is deep and true. Deep and true, friends. Which is odd because I’m not much of a makeup person. I wear very little make up on a daily basis, but that just means that what I do wear needs to be quality and affordable, and that is why Mary Kay® works for me.
Recently, Mary Kay sent me a box full of goodies to try. Naturally, when the box arrived, I had to fight Gracie fight-club style to keep it out of her grubby little girly paws. I won that fight and then locked myself in the bathroom for an hour while I played.
Here is what I love about Mary Kay® make-up products: Everything is customizable! They sent me something called the Compact Mini, and it is just about the most brilliant beauty product concept I think I’ve seen. The compact is MAGNETIC.
Just let that sink in for a minute. It’s magnetic. So, you can pop in different colors and products when you want a change. New season? No biggie. Change out those fall colors for some richer winter ones. Not feeling the blush this time of year? No biggie. Pop out the blush and add in two more eye shadow colors instead. Want to try some fancy-pants contouring make up styles that I am not anywhere near qualified enough to try on my own? No biggie. Take out the eye shadows and put in two different shades of blush. The possibilities are endless!
Another product they sent me was something called Gel Eyeliner. It came in this little pot and it looked so INTENSE. Like, I should probably have a degree in cosmetology before playing with something like this. This ain’t yo’ momma’s eye liner, ladies.
It came with this tiny paintbrush thing, and you literally PAINTED on your eyeliner! I felt like an art product! And it was AWESOME! It went on so much smoother than my normal eyeliner (that must be the gel part) and it was super easy to apply.
By the time I put on blush, eyeshadow, and eye liner, I felt like I should go ahead and put on the lipstick and gloss just to finish off the look–even though it was only 5:30 on a Monday night, and I should have been preparing dinner for my family. Why not just swish on some lipstick and call it a day? So, I did.
And that’s when I was like, “Well, HELLO, PLAYFUL PARTY GIRL LOOK!” I used their Creme Lipstick in Berry Kiss and it was berry, berry pwetty. They sent me a tube of their NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss in Pink Wink (how cute is that name?!), too, so I topped it all off with some shiny glass to just make my mouth POP.
Well, by the time my whole face was done up all nice and pretty, who wants to cook a chicken? Thankfully, my hubby agreed that those berry shinny lips should be taken out to dinner, so the chicken waited and we hit the town for a crazy date night. Just kidding. We took the kids to Chili’s. Because that’s how you roll when you’re playing suburban dress-up on a Monday night. Thanks Mary Kay® for introducing me once again to new products that have the same standard of excellence as your tried and true products. I’m glad we’re friends.

Painted eyeliner!

I would love to try the eyeliner! I’m not a huge makeup gal but when I don’t want to look like a tired zombie mother of two, I throw on eyeliner and mascara and call it a day!
Nicole
The pink wink for sure based on name alone
Jamie Grunsky
Ah! I have met your friend Mary Kay. 🙂 I am a beauty consultant in Charlotte! (click my name to get to my website!) I also have that exact same look that’s in your compact. LOVE those eye shadow colors. I sold all of them twice yesterday just from wearing it myself!
Lauren
Gel Eyeliner!
Jaclyn
Ohhh goodness those eyeshadow/blush magnetic palates sound AMAZING – and I’m trying to learn shading etc (ha!) so those would be wonderful to own. My mom bought MaryKay for YEARS, I love playing with their stuff.

The gel eyeliner is intriguing to me – would love to try it!

I like the lip gloss, and pink wink is a pretty fun name 🙂 I also like some of the other lip gloss colors from the website, Sun Blossoms and Shock Tart- those would be good colors on me.

Ooh! Gel eyeliner! I could also use some eyebrow color to fill in my bald spot. I can’t get on site now though. Scheduled for web maintenance. 🙁
Melissa
I want to try that Berry Kiss lipstick. You and I have similar coloring and it looks great on you, so I’m hoping it’d work well on me, too 🙂
It’s adorable that Chris took you and the kids out for dinner because you looked so pretty and had nowhere to go. Aren’t husbands the best sometimes??

Magnetic compact!! Awesome!

I sell Mary Kay, but am not much of a make-up person myself. I love their skin care products, so that’s primarily what I use (and why I started selling). I might have to try out the gel eyeliner the next time I order. Though I’d love the $100 gift card, I don’t think I’d be eligible for the prize package. Thanks for such great reviews on our products.

I think they made the gel eyeliner just for me. I can NEVER get my eyeliner to go on smooth! I get all close to the mirror, my hand starts shaking, the whole bit. I definitely need to try the gel!

I would like to try the pink wink lip gloss all the way! It looks so pretty. I would say I would try the gel eye liner too, but I would be too scared of making a huge mess!

I love that lipstick, especially for the holidays!

I want to try the gel eyeliner. That lipstick is so pretty too, though! So, maybe the lipstick. How about all of it!

Love the lipstick! Can’t wait to try!
jodi scott
Wow – the gel eyeliner looks like fun!
VDRAGON
I’m curious about the eyeliner, does it stay on all day? Does it smear? Does it come off easily with makeup remover? Does it feel stiff once it’s dried? I’m so particular about eye liner and I hate buying a new one with out knowing whether I’ll even like it. That said, I do like Mary Kay’s regular eye liners.
Nicole D
I would love to try the NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss in Pink Wink. Such a pretty color.
