Now, I remember back in the day (or what i would consider back in the day) My mom selling mary kay products. I was maybe 8 or 9. I dont remember it being amazing. But the point as its always been was to empower women. I am really glad I was picked to recieve this box and try out there products. I havent really rushed to buy mary kay, as now I am old enough and wear makeup rather often.
They sent me many products to try out.
1. The first thing I am going to talk about is the translucent loose powder. Im not normally a fan of loose powder, mostly because it makes such a mess. SO lets start there with this one. The packaging oon this is super smart. Its in a really nice heavy container. and where the sifter is they have added a pice that turns so you can close and open the sifter. Now dont get me wrong there is still a little of a mess possabillity, however this drastically cuts down on it.
Now to the product itself. It claims it will keep you matte all day. I only notice some oily spots in my T-Zone. So this is were I place the product. my cheeks are dry and to cut back on the cakey appearance I dont put this there. I have noticed a huge diffrence in my t-zone since using this. I do not get oily during the day. This is so finly milled I have also been placing it under my eyes for a setting powder and I love it. It does not look cakey, or settle in my fine lines. Its a nice all around powder and I would purchase it in the future.

2. keeping on the powder/face products, they sent me a bronzer. Now I dont buy bronzer on my own. I have a few because they were given to me. But I have such a light skin tone that I have a heck of a time not looking dirty when I put it on, no matter how light of hand. I have watched many a youtube videos, as well as reading up. I Know how bronzer works. This bronzer is very beautiful. It has a slight sheen to it that doesnt really come off on your face. It just makes you look naturally glowey. I used this on the outer portion of my face and love the look. I did slight contour up to a blush on my cheeks. I really love the over all look of this bronzer. It is buildable.

3. They of course sent me a blush, that I will begin by saying I am down right in love with. :) It is an amazing pinky color with a gold sheen. It is beautiful. It is called shy blush. I want to by several more of these blushes. I put this on the apple of my cheek and pulled it up toward my temple. It dose not look glittery, It just adds to that glow from with-in. Its very soft and a perfect blush.

4. Now own to the Eye products. I recived a Cream eye color in apricot twist. It is a very pretty gold color with a slight (I mean slight) peachyness to it. the cream has a nice feel to it. and is a pretty color. I have not noticed creasing with it. But to achieve the color pay off i want it seems like i have to put quite a bit on. I wish it was a slight bit more pigmented. But it will be nice for days by the pool when I want a barly there makeup look. I have put a powder shadow on top to build the color and like that look a bit better. Basically if you are looking for a more natural look go for this color.

5. Eye liner is a very big hit or miss for me. I want something easy to work with, that is dark and really makes my eyes look amazing. So far I have not found anything I am in love with. That is to say until I tried this Gel Eye liner in Jet black. It is so creamy and smooth and deep dark black. Those are both winning qualities in my book. But beyond that it is easy to work with. And after it sets its not moving, this could be a good thing or a bad thing. It comes off with a little make up remover, but if you dont like using makeup remover this is not the wyw liner for you. The brush is nice, i can get a thin or thick line. Its easy to take with you. Overall Im very happy with this combo.

6. Now heres a big one. Mascara. Every girls best friend. However I have naturally amazing, dark, thick and long lashes. So mascara may not be as much of a necessaty for me. However I really want that fake lash look without fake lashes. My big thing is adding loads of volumn without clumping. This mascara is nice and dark. More matte than shiny. And it defines nicly. I put on 2 coats and had no clumping. But it does not give me the volumn I am looking for. If you dont have long dark lashes you may love this. It does not seem to give me super crunchy lashes wither. I probably wont buy this one again.

7. LIP GLOSS! need I say more? actually I probably do. I got the Nourishine Plus Lip gloss in Mango Tango. I have previously Bout one of these lip glosses in Fansy Nancy. A more wearable nuteral color. Mango tango is an intense orange. but is very buildable. If you put it on light you can tell there is something on your lips and you can build it all the way to "HOLY Orange" These glosses smell like carmel. They feel amazing. They say they are long wearing which in my open for a gloss they are.

7. And Lastly the sent me 2 brushes. And to make this portion Better I actually have a brush from when my mom sold mary kay to compare it too.
Lets start with the brushes I got in this box. Firs was a Cream eyeshadow / concealer brush, Second was a Powder brush. Both of these brushes are amazingly soft and well made. I have not had any hairs fall out. The handles are nice. The farrels are nice. The whole brush feels expensive. The Old brush that I have does Not feel as nice and is constantly shedding. (granted this could be due to age, But I dont think so).
