Hey everyone! So I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm hoping to start my little blogging adventure up again. As most know, I have been a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant now for about 2 years. Along the way, I have tried several of our products and have absolutely fallen in love!! I wanted to take a few minutes and share these great go to products. As always, if you have any questions, please leave them below! Also, if there are some products you've been wanting more information about, don't hesitate to leave that below, too. Thanks for reading, and be sure to subscribe!!
Number One: TimeWise Moisturizer and Cleanser
I absolutely LOVE these!!! The cleanser has a slight exfoliate to it, so it leaves your face feeling so smooth and clean. The moisturizer is great, too...I have really dry skin and I find that it helps keep my skin feeling soft without being too thick and heavy like with other moisturizers I've used.
Number Two: TimeWise Liquid Foundation
As with probably every woman, I have used so many foundations trying to get the right match, the right look, and the right feel. I have used high-end (MAC) as well as low end (Revlon), and have never been truly happy. Either they leave my skin feeling dry, or it looks like I'm wearing a mask, or it disappears after a short time. Finally, after trying MK, I know I won't try another brand. I get so many compliments on my skin when I wear this liquid foundation, it just seems to melt into my skin. I have tried both the luminous and the matte formulas and like both, but I usually reach for the matte more often.
Number Three: TimeWise Even Complexion Essence
This is probably my little secret to having my skin look so great. With the pink and purple reflects it even outs your skin tone and just makes your skin glow.
Number Four: Eye Primer
Like with foundation, I have tried several eye primers...most on the high end. I loved my Urban Decay for years, and didn't think anything could be better...until I tried the Mary Kay one. It's white, so it tends to create a better blank canvas for the eye shadows. And it's cheaper!!
Number Five: Cleansing Cloths
Now, I know what you are thinking...what's so great about these cleansing clothes, can't I just get them at Walmart? I totally thought the same...until I tried these! Instead of being moistened already, and therefore drying up in a couple weeks, these have cleanser on them and you wet them so they foam and cleanse your face! That means they don't dry out and you can keep wetting it to make sure you get all your makeup off!!! This comes in handy for those nights you go out and have a full face of makeup on. You can't fully know how great these are until you try them for yourself.
Number Six: Facial Highlighting Pen Shade 1
So you have some dark circles under your eyes? You want your eyes to be a bit brighter? This is your product!! The Shade 1 pen is a pinker base shade, so it will help cover your dark circles without being as heavy as a concealer if that has been a problem for you. It really helps to reflect the light and make your eyes look more open and bright.
Number Seven: Makeup Finishing Spray by
Skindinävia
I have gotten so used to using a finishing spray! Especially having such dry skin, it helps lock in moisture into my skin as well as helping my makeup look more airbrushed and smooth. It's such a great, cool treat for your skin...I love throwing it in my purse and using it throughout the day.
Number Eight: Mineral Eye Colors and Ultimate Mascara
More specifically, my favorite eye colors are Truffle, Granite, Sweet Plum...and if you combine Sparkling White with Crystalline, it creates such a gorgeous highlighting color! The colors blend really well and can create a really pretty everyday looks. And at about half the cost of those high end shadows, you can't go wrong!!
The mascara is one of my all time favorites! It gives great volume and some lengthening, too. It's a Mary Kay best seller, so obviously people know what they're talking about.
Number Nine: True Dimensions Lipstick in Pink Cherie and Clear Lip Liner
This is a beautiful bright pink color! It even has a blue undertone to it so it makes your teeth look whiter. The True Dimension lipsticks are great. They go on so smooth and have a buildable coverage to them so you can wear them more sheer if you like. They're shiny like a gloss on their own, but stay like a lipstick...perfection!
Now, with clear liner, I'm sure you're thinking I'm crazy...but the great thing about a clear liner is that it'll be the only liner you need! Since it's clear, it goes with everyone lipstick you own, but it still lines your lips and gives the perfect pout.
Number Ten: Brushes!!
Our brush set is such a wonderful value! Five really good quality brushes for such a low price. My favorite in the set is a toss up between the eye color brush, which is a great lid color brush, and the crease brush, it helps blend things so nicely! Another brush that I use daily is the Eye Smudger brush. It's not included in the brush set, but it's definitely a necessity. It works great to smudge out your liner, or to deposit color along the lower lash line.
BONUS New Favorite: Belara Mignight Perfume
This is quickly becoming my favorite scent. It has a floral tone to it, with some vanilla and woody tones mixed in as well. So light and great!
Well, I guess I've wrote enough for tonight. I hope I've sparked something in you to want to try something new from Mary Kay. If you'd like to purchase anything and don't have your own consultant, you can shop my website anytime at www.marykay.com/tarynjb
