Mary Kay Product Review

Hey y’all!

My friends over at Mary Kay and Influenster were kind enough to send me a Mary Kay VoxBox full of some awesome new Mary Kay products to try out and review.

What is the first thing that you think of when you hear Mary Kay???

I’ve used Mary Kay products in the past, because my aunt sold Mary Kay for awhile. I mean, come on, who doesn’t know someone that has sold Mary Kay!?! I actually like a lot of their products, but I don’t think I could buy solely from Mary Kay. I’m a makeup connoisseur and way too picky to love everything one line carries…that goes for all make-up lines. I think Mary Kay has been the face of women for quite some time. They offer some really great stuff to their employees as well. I think, all and all, they just want the women that use their products to feel beautiful; and the people that work for them to be successful. Mary Kay offers a very positive and encouraging message, and I like that. My biggest gripe about Mary Kay has nothing to do with their product, it has to do with their sales people. I don’t know about you, but I hate feeling pressured, badgered, or bullied into something. I get very irritable and uncomfortable and then I’m probably going to avoid you at all costs. Not everyone that sells Mary Kay or any other independent product is like that, but the ones that are really stand out and turn people off.

Here is the great thing…you can buy Mary Kay online! You don’t even have to go into a store or talk to someone! Awesome, right? However, if someone you know and love sells Mary Kay, hook a sista up and buy from them!

Rodan + Fields Skincare Review!

Hello beautiful babes!

Rodan + Fields Logo

I’ve recently stumbled upon a really incredible skincare line called Rodan + Fields. I’m usually pretty skeptical about skincare products, because…well, frankly I think there are too many and not many of them actually do what they claim. It’s frustrating to pay big bucks for a product that is pretty much worthless or even worse, leaves your skin more funky than it was to begin with. My friend Carrie Story has been using Rodan + Fields, so I have been seeing it pop up in my social media news feeds. Knowing Carrie and her family very well, I trust her, not to mention the proof is written all over her face! Her skin looks immaculate, it doesn’t matter if she is bare faced or wearing make-up…she looks fresh faced. I was becoming more and more intrigued with this product and finally decided to check in with Carrie about it. She sent me some really great information as well as some samples of the product. I really want to be able to share the first hand truth with all of you, as I said before I’ll be the guinea pig too see if any of this stuff actually works. The results are in, this stuff is incredible. [Read more...]

How to make your makeup last longer

Hello beauty babes!

I went out on an impromptu girls day a few weeks back and it was amazing! I got some new M.A.C makeup and have been playing with it ever since. I have been dying to share my latest makeup secret with you, but wanted to make sure it was a good as I thought it was…so I have been wearing it everyday since I bought it. Drum roll please…..

MAC Fix+ Skin Refresher is seriously the answer to my makeup prayers. I had my makeup done by one of the M.A.C girls…which I don’t normally do. I’m pretty particular when it comes to, well, everything - so it’s rare that I let someone else take the reigns. I only had her do my face makeup as my eyes, and eye brows were already done. She totally shocked me and rocked my world. She was literally amazing! My skin looked so flawless, it felt nourished, and it looked natural. I noticed she kept spraying a mist spray on her face and then she did the same to me once she was finished with my makeup. I asked her what it was - and low and behold, it was MAC Fix+ Skin Refresher. She told me that her and the other makeup artists pretty much bathe in it all day and that is why their makeup looks so flawless and stays on so long. [Read more...]
