My friend Eva told me about this cool site that she was on where you take surveys and they send you free products to try and review all over social media sites. The first one I got was a coupon for free frozen meal by Annie's homegrown organic. This time I qualified for a whole box of goodies.Mary Kay brand makeup.
I got the box last Friday and decided Saturday before I went to the movies with my friend to try it out. Complete with pics! I always like seeing pics or transformations.
I started out clean faced
I applied my own foundation and concealer first.
Then I applied the mary kay mineral cheek color in shy blush and bronzing powder. Followed with translucent loose powder. (I like the colors and it goes on easy. The brush they sent was a little rough for my sensitive skin.) My friend commented on how nice it looked and had a shimmer glow to it. I put on the nourishine plus lip gloss in mango tango. Not a fan of the color but loved the texture. Not sticky and not too glossy. Once it wears off there is still a little stain left. Which I need cause I have really pale lips. I will probably buy this in a more flattering color.
Next I put on the creme eye color in apricot twist and gel eyeliner in jet black. I Love these two products the most! They were so easy to apply they sent a cream eye brush and expandable liner brush. I had fun doing a retro look. I usually don't do cream eye shadow. In the past it tended to cake in the creases and wear off fast. This stuff dries like a powder. It doesn't go anywhere!
Last I tried the lash love mascara in I ♥ black. Not a huge fan. I've been a loyal loreal voluminous mascara girl for years! The brush did not compare it was thin and stiff. My lashes stuck together and looked like a spider.
Overall I was impressed with this makeup. I've thought of Mary Kay as being smelly and outdated but its really good quality. I could see myself buying the eye shadow n gloss in the future.
