Top five Spring/Summer must haves from Mary Kay!

It's so nice to use the words Spring/Summer in a sentence. Would you believe me if I said last week there was still ice in my yard. Now that we're pass that- I'm excited to share some of my new favourites from Mary Kay.

Mary Kay CC Cream Complexion Corrector Cream Sunscreen SPF 15 $22.00 CAN
Colours:
  • Very Light
  • Medium-to-Deep
  • Light-to-Medium
  • Deep

Delivers 8 skin benefits in 1 simple step. Mary Kay® CC Cream acts like makeup to instantly correct complexion imperfections while formulated like skin care to help nurture skin‘s beauty tomorrow.

This is one of the first CC creams which is suitable for a dark/deep skin tone. I'm really happy with the coverage. I should add that it's oil-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested and tested for skin irritancy and allergy.

Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner With Extendable Brush - Jet Black $19.00 CAN

The foolproof gel eyeliner defines eyes to create beautiful looks with precision and is perfect for women who like to mix up their look or those who are less experienced using liquid eyeliner. 
If you want a super quick cat eye, I'd suggest a gel liner. 
This formula is very creamy and easy to work with. 

Mary Kay At Play Jelly Lip Gloss $12.00 CAN
Colours
  • Poppy Love
  • Violet Vixen
Glide on slick, shiny colour with full-on glossy goodness in a fun jelly texture.
The colours apply sheer but you can build to get your desired look.

Limited-Edition Mary Kay Springy Eye Duo $18.00 CAN
Colours:

  • Stonewashed
  • Summer Sunset

With its springy feel, this lightweight, creamy formula glides on smoothly and resists creasing for lasting colour that leaves an even, cream-to-powder finish. 
The consistency is crazy. I've never felt a product like this. 
This is a true cream-to-powder hybrid that doesn't budge. 

Limited-Edition Mary Kay Nail Lacquer $10.00 CAN 
Colours:

  • Carefree Coral
  • Lemon Parfait

These nail lacquers are part of the limited-edition Hello, Sunshine! Collection – spring’s must-have makeup featuring sun-washed hues with a beachy, vintage twist.
Mary Kay has some of the best nail polishes on the market. 
They apply smoothly and have a nice finish.

Check out the Mary Kay skinvigorate Cleansing Brush

A new skin care gadget is on the market.
It's the Mary Kay® skinvigorate™($60.00 CDN).

I'm all for new skin care innovations which make my life easier. I think I've tried almost every single skin care device on the market but this is quite unique because of it's features.

Features:
  • White & pink
  • Small (perfect for travelling)
  • Two-speed power brush
  • Two brush heads in the package
I love it's small size but I think I'm more impressed with the two-speed options. I find that most skin care devices under $100 only come with one speed. That one speed is not suitable for every user. When my skin is overly sensitive using a device with one speed is the worst thing I can do. Now I can use my skinvigorate™on the lowest setting and not worry about anything.


Out of all of the brush heads I've tried, I have to say that these are one of the softest. 
I'd recommend it for anyone with sensitive skin. 

Mary Kay recommends four steps to get great skin this holiday season:
  • Remove eye makeup
  • Wet face/brush head and apply favourite Mary Kay® cleanser to face
  • Turn on speed control to the speed you prefer
  • Use gentle motions on cheeks, nose, chin and forehead (approximately 15 seconds per area); avoid eye area

My Top Five Favourite Products for Fall


Time for me to get back on track with my monthly favourites. This month was really good for me. I kept my makeup at a minimum but have five favourites which I brought with me everywhere! Thank God I carry a large purse.


Mary Kay® Kohl Eyeliner in Golden Illusion ($18.00 CDN)
In almost every makeup look I do, I highlight my inner corners. I love using rich golds because they make my eyes pop. This kohl applies so smoothly. Which is important when you're dealing with delicate areas like your eyes! Plus it's smear-proof.




Victoria Secret Sheer Body Lotion ($24.00 CDN)
I wash my hands a lot. It's Fall and I'm trying my best NOT to get sick! I love the scent of Victoria.
Key notes are: Red berries, Victoria rose and crème brûlée. Isn't that yummy! It's a sweet and sexy scent which is not too powerful to be worn in the office.




Almay color + care liquid lip balm ($8.95 CDN)
I've been in love with these for months. I got a sneak peak  back in June at an Almay event. LOVE them! They're non-sticky, shiny, conditioning and pigmented. They also show up on pigmented lips like mine. I should add that they are gluten-free & hypoallergenic.



Clinique Superprimer Face Primers ($29.99 CDN)
It's very important to use a primer when you're going to wear foundation. Primers make your foundation last longer and usually have some additional benefits. Clinique has come out with a long list of primers. I should add that there is one that colour corrects dullness in deeper skin tones!  It's not chalky like other primers and it's very lightweight. In the formula, there are very tiny micro-crystals which I assume make your skin took more illuminated.  I would definitely add this to my list of top 5 primers for dark skin.




L'oreal Super Slim liquid liner (10.99 CDN)
I love slim liners. They give me more precision to choose the type of liner I want. This formula is quick drying and long lasting. This is really important in the winter. It's also suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
