Hey guys!!!
You see all the products I got??!! Ain't it exciting??!! My friend Brittany was just as excited as me because she just recently became a Mary Kay Consultant!!!! Well anyways on to the products I received!
Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara
I hear great things about Mary Kay mascaras, BUT since this one isn't waterproof I didn't even try this mascara. I need waterproof because if not the curl will fall back down and I don't want that. I will give this away in a future giveaway on this blog.
Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Shy Blush
This blush is really gorgeous!! It is a peachy pink with a golden sheen to it. I honestly don't think one needs to highlight their cheekbones when you wear this because it gives you such a beautiful glow and I love it! I feel like this is a dupe to a high end blush, but I can't think of it! (I know I suck haha.)
Mary Kay Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush
I use this powder brush to bronze up my skin instead of powder since I already have my favorite powder brush. I am loving this brush, BUT the only thing I hate is that everytime I clean it a lot of the hairs go down the sink. I hate that since now I don't know how long this brush will last me.
Mary Kay Translucent Powder
I'm not a big lip gloss fan because in the past a lot of them have really dried up my lips. I was still excited to try it out regardless. I am in loovveee!!! It is a pretty orange red color with some shimmer, but it doesn't really show up when you put it on your lips. It is really pigmented and most importantly for me it doesn't dry my lips even after it fades. This lasts about 2 hours till it starts fading, but that's expected since it is a lip gloss. Maybe if I put it on top of a lipstick it will last longer. I honestly don't mind re-applying whenever it is necessary it's just too pretty haha.
Mary Kay Cream Eye Color in Apricot Twist
I am a big fan of cream eye shadows so when I saw this in the box I was excited to try out a new one!! I love to use cream eye shadows as a base for powder shadows so my eye make-up can pop even more and last even longer. I also used it on its own and it lasted on my lid all day even after going outside with the kids at work. The swatch on the picture doesn't do it justice it's really gorgeous in person. Whenever you use a cream shadow make sure you let it set before you add shadows on top of it. That will ensure that it won't crease throughout the day.
Mary Kay Bronzing Powder in Light-Medium
I am not a huge fan of this bronzer at all and I was really sad I really wanted to love it. The reason I don't love it is because of the shimmer. I am into a matte bronzer, but the only way I will use this is if I use a matte blush otherwise that will be waayyyy too much shimmer going on with this and shimmery blush.
Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner in Jet Black
I have never used gel eyeliner so I thought "this is going to be interesting." It came with a little brush, but it wasn't a good one for me to use for gel eyeliner. It was so bad that I lost it haha oops!! It was kinda hard to do at first, but after a second time it was easier. Once this sets on your eyelid it doesn't budge at all and it stayed on all day. Only thing I didn't like was that it is not as black as I would like so I had to put on a second layer to get it as intense as I like it.
Overall I really enjoyed trying out all these products and I hope to one day in the future to try out a couple more products. Here is a look I created with a couple of these products:
I recently received these Mary Kay products complimentary for testing purposes by Influenster and I was so excited!! I wanted to try some out especially I always see my mom always using their skin care and lipsticks!!

Mary Kay Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush
This brush is amazing to blend out a cream eyeshadow. I used to use my fingers in the pot and then I found out that you could be putting bacteria in there by using your fingers!! Now with this brush I don't have to use my fingers at all and I'm happy about that haha. It also blends out concealer well. I am very happy to have this brush in my collection.
Mary Kay Powder Brush

Mary Kay Translucent Powder
I am going to start with the packaging. I love the fact that this is actually very travel friendly. Last time I traveled I had to take my other loose powder that I own and its such a mess now I have to be careful when I open it now. This one it actually has a closing top so it won't be messy. Great job Mary Kay on the packaging. Now on to the actual product inside. My make-up lasts all day and I haven't noticed a white cast on my face with this.
Mary Kay Nourishine Plus Lip Gloss in Mango Tango
