MaryKay Review

Last month I had a friend from High School notice my inquiry to find and try a CC Cream.  It seems to be the newest "it" beauty product and I am so in love with my BB Cream that I figured it was a product I needed to test out for myself.
Sweet Brittany is a MaryKay consultant and jumped on the opportunity to share her company's amazing products with me.
I was so surprised when this ADORABLE box showed up on my doorstep just a few short days after we spoke.

First Impressions Seriously though, how cute is this box? The pink hearts all over? Love! 

I was so happy to see a box that had actually had some thought behind it's design. It was such a breath of fresh air to feel like I was actually getting something really special instead of a product just tossed in the nearest piece of cardboard someone could find. Inside Brittney surprised me with not just a CC cream but a handful of other amazing products to try. Just look at the goodies she sent me.

The packaging of each product is so clean and easy to read.  Plus it's PINK... and we all know how I feel about Pink.

The Products CC Cream (Very Light)

I love that this product has a push top that lets out just enough product.  Previous BB/CC Creams I have used that have a squeeze container, instead of top, sometimes squeezes out too much product that I obviously can't put it back in.  I hate wasting so this is a fabulous design.

This CC Cream is one of the smoothest products I have ever used.  It honestly feels like I am rubbing silk across my face. The cream covers lightly for a natural look. The coverage is great and I love how the color matches my skin tone. It covers my imperfections and skin color changes but still allows my freckles to show through for a flawless-looking complexion. I love that it has SPF 15.  With my fair complexion and skin cancer that runs in my family, I am always looking for products that not only have great coverage but also protect my skin from sun damage.  At the end of the day my face doesn't like feel oily and after a few times of use I can verify this product doesn't cause me any breakouts. 

I Absolutely LOVE MaryKay's CC Cream.

Nothing Negative to say about this product at all.

Lash Primer/Lash Love Lengthening Mascara (Black)

 I have very short and BLONDE eye lashes so Mascara is one of the most important beauty products I use. 

The Lash Primer is a thin clear serum that applies nicely with a mascara brush.

I loved how the primer works sort of as a pre-mascara comb through. 

The primer nicely separates each eye lash and I can tell that it instantly extends my lashes.

The Lash Primer works great for helping mascara wear longer and I love how it helps the mascara not flake after a whole days wear.

The LashLove Lengthening Mascara is also a great product.

I really like how the brush allows for the mascara to go on each lash without clumping. 

I like how the mascara is soft and doesn't feel like it weighs down my lashes. 

Like I said earlier, my eyelashes are very thin and blonde so I usually purchase a mascara that goes on thick to intensify my lashes.

I did have to do several applications of the MaryKay Mascara to get my lashes to the thickness that I wanted but like I mentioned earlier, this Mascara is light-weight and doesn't weigh down my eyelashes like my usual thick mascara does.

Again, two more fabulous products.

True Dimensions Lipstick (Wild About Pink)

I JUST started wearing Lipstick in the last year and I have LOVED getting to play with so many different colors and brands as I explore and discover PROS & CONS of what I like and don't like about Lipstick.

(I was always a chap stick kinda girl)

I am so in love with this gorgeous color that MaryKay makes and think it's perfect for the upcoming summer season.

The color actually wears a lot calmer/lighter then I expected it to which makes it perfect for a day out or even as a mommy pick me up for a day I stay in my PJs all day.

Here is my Before & After (w/just these MK Products)

Thanks SO Much Brittany for sharing/introducing me to a great brand.

Lately I have been a drug store beauty snob but it was nice to be reminded that a little bit more money can sometimes make A WORLD DIFFERENCE in quality of a product. 

Honestly Readers, if you are in the market for some new products, get in touch with Brittany and have her send you some of the amazing things MaryKay has to offer.

Here is a little bit More About Brittany. Trust me... She is someone you WANT to get to know! 
Hey FordOlogy Readers. I'm Brittany.

 I started my Mary Kay business in 2009, when my husband and I were both full time students. I wasn’t looking to make a whole lot of money but early on it paid for our date nights and eating out. After I had graduated while my husband was still going to school full time my Mary Kay business supported our family, it made our rent payment and our car payment, it ran my household. My very favorite thing about Mary Kay is its flexibility, as beauty consultants we don’t have monthly minimums, we can work as little or as much as we want depending on the needs of our family.

 What I love most about Mary Kay products is that we are a prestige brand of cosmetics. The difference in using a prestige brand vs drug store brands is quality of ingredients. Even though our products may seem more expensive up front, because they are concentrated and last so long they end up being cheaper than what you would pay for a lesser quality product at a drug store.

In April my team finished our first month of qualifications to earn a Mary Kay career car. The consultant car currently is a Chevy Cruze. Career cars are awarded to team leaders who work with 14 or more beauty consultants. I’m excited about our qualification because it’s a representation of a large group of women making money for their families. Working with my team I get to see families that are less stressed financially or my college girls that are graduating with fewer loans or debt free, and that’s something I'm every proud to be a part of!
