BlogHer gave me a great opportunity to review some make-up from Mary Kay. What girl can so no to free make-up?!? Not this girl!
It came in the mail all wrapped up pretty.
The box contained Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara, Tinted Lip Balm, and Mineral Eye Color Bundle
I love the idea of bundling my eyeshadows and blush into one easy compact. I travel quite a bit for work and having everything all together would be so much easier. The colors were great for my green eyes and I was really impressed by the eyeshadow. My experience with Mary Kay eyeshadow in the past hasn't been good. They must have a new formula because the pigment of the eyeshadows was concentrated and it didn't take several applications to see the color. It also lasted throughout the day.
The blush was the best surprise! I usually wear name brand blush and this was just as good as those brands. I loved the color and the very slight shimmer.
I was a little hesitant about the tinted lip balm. It looks pretty bright in the tube, but it was much more subtle on. The best part is it contains SPF 15! That is a great thing for a fair skinned gal like me.
I'm very picky about my mascara and dreaded even putting this formula on my lashes. Boy, I was I wrong about it. The mascara doesn't clump and has a good consistency. The brush on the wand was a good shape and I was able to get a really good coat on my lashes.
You'll have to excuse the deer in headlights look. I did my make-up before work one morning and that flash was bright. :)
I think that Mary Kay has really stepped up their game. They are definitely not the same company I knew growing up and are real contenders in the beauty industry.

My mom used to be a Mary Kay consultant and she threw me a MK makeup party for my 11th birthday. I'd love to see how the product has changed over the years. Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteYour eyes look great! I've been looking for a decent mascara and have been less than thrilled by what I'm coming across. I can't afford to look any longer...

I have always wanted to try Mary Kay's products. My sister used to use them when she was younger. I would especially love to try their eyeshadows. I've been looking for an eyeshadow that will last longer than a couple of hours!
ReplyDeleteRomero.april@gmail.com
What a lovely package and great collection of make up! I would love to win this! I've tried MaryKay's skin care product but not their make up yet. Love their skin care products, very good value. This would be a good chance to try their make ups. :)

So cute, I would love to try it out.

I have sensitive skin and I’m hooked on Mary Kay's Sunset & Icy Peach lipsticks, Coral Rose lipgloss, Citrus Bloom & Strawberry Cream blushes, Sienna eyeshadows & Bronze eye pencil. I'd like to try new Lash Love mascara (for fine lashes) in Black. It's past time to replenish my organizer and purse compact. Thank you for hosting such a glamorous giveaway. not2haute@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love to try different make-up brands. It's fun to experiment with new stuff out there!

Check out my website www.marykay.com/aschorger.
ReplyDeleteThere are many products priced under $15, but the price is actually irrelevant - the quality is so high and the cost per use so low.
The comment about change in formulas - our eyeshadows (and several other products) are now mineral based. Other products have also been updated thru the years - many years ago I was allergic to their products, now they're all I use!
Pick me, pick me!
ReplyDeleteMy mother swears by MK! I use a lot of their brushes - but haven't really tried their make-up.
ReplyDeleteI love Mary Kay and the mascara is my favorite product of theirs. Nice review and thanks for the opportunity.

These colors of eyeshadow are gorgeous....I would love to try them and the mascara! What a difference in the before and after pics of you!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try MK, but it's a little out of my budget. Your eyes look great, even if you look deer-in-headlight-ish.

I used to wear Mary Kay cosmetics all the time! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to replenish my MK items because I don't know of any MK reps in the small town where I now live.
What a fun giveaway. I've heard their skincare is really awesome, too.
ReplyDeleteit's been a long time since I've used mary kay...always looking for a good mascara & eyeliner.

I have the same color combo and was nervous too, but like you, was pleasantly surprised. I love every Mary Kay product I have tried!
ReplyDeleteLove the TimeWise products. Love the mineral-based makeup products. Mary Kay has become a favorite of mine!
