Mary Kay Review

Recently I received a wonderful little box* in the mail. Inside was tons of Mary Kay products for me to try out. Thankfully for me I was needing some new makeup for my daughter's upcoming dance recital. She had pictures the weekend it came in so she was the perfect person to test along with me. I thought I would give you all a little review of what I tried and what I thought the products.

Included in this cute box was the following Mary Kay products: Lash Love Mascara in I <3 Black, cream eye color in Apricot Twist, mineral cheek color in Shy Blush, translucent loose powder, gel eyeliner with expandable brush applicator in Jet Black, bronzing powder, NouriShine Plus lip gloss in Mango Tango, cream eye color brush and concealer brush.

First I will start with what I loved, then what I didn't love and what was just okay. First up, the eyeliner...I loved it! Probably the best I have ever used. It goes on so smooth, it doesn't smudge during the day and it made mine and my daughter's eyes pop! This product has me definitely wanting to keep buying. The concealer and eye color brushes were great. They rate right up there with some of the best and I have went through a lot of brushes in my day. I really liked the bronzing powder. I would rank it right up there with my go to which is made by Clinique. It was a beautiful color and added just the right amount of pop needed to give that sunny glow.

I didn't care for the mineral cheek color. I am not much on blush because of my skin coloring so it wasn't their fault. I also didn't like the cream eye color. To me creamy eye colors don't last that long and tend to smudge. The mascara was pretty, but like the eye color it smudged way too much for my liking. A single tear made the entire thing run down your face. I had to redo my daughter's make up three times because of this. It was really frustrating.

The translucent loose powder was nice, but not something I would use very often. I like a glowing look, but it does the job on days you want to take the extra shine out. The lip gloss was nice, but the color just wasn't my taste. I don't care to wear orange colored make up. I feel like it is more a fall color.

Overall I would say Mary Kay made an impression on me. I would definitely check out their lip glosses in other colors, buy their brush applicators and pick up some more mascara. I would say this box deserve a grade of B-.

Any questions or comments on my review? Leave me a comment below.

As always until next time....
