Mary Kay - products i recommend

Hello my dear girlies,here's my first post =) So i just started selling mary kay cosmetics after i started using them because i want to make sure that i am selling the right stuff. I did a youtube video aboutmy initial use of marykay which actually impressed me cuz theydo have great products! And with the encouragement of my lovely utubers JustMeAlyssa00 and DianaGrisela i decided to sell and share my obsession(makeup) to the world!!! These are the products that i am currently using and will always be using:

* Timewise Miracle Set -
if you follow me on youtube you'll know that i have been using clinique 3-step skincare for ayear now and i ran out of it so i decided to try this intriguing timewise MIRACLE set, it includes a
3 step cleanser which cleanses, exfoliates and freshens! then the day solution with spf 25, this protects skin from the harmful UVA/UVB rays (good to know =D)and it's suppose to soften appearance of lines and wrinkles and to relax expression lines, a
moisturizer which like any other moisturizers it provides hydration and this one claims to provide 10 hrs of hydration and lastly the night solution which has nutribeads which contains antioxidants... all in all i have been very pleased with this skincare because it keeps my skin soft, smooth and f resh (actually my co-workers noticed it too, they thought that i have been pampering my skin which is TRUE!) =)


* Microdermabrasion Set - i decided to try this due to peer pressure (though i think i'm quite too old for that =P) anyways my friend/coworker has been using this for ages and she claims that her skin feels like GLASS after using
this - i'm not sure if i want to have a GLASSY skin but i realized that she didn't really literally mean that... after i first
used this, i thought i ripped off my skin cuz i rubbed this with a lot of pressure but then after learning my lesson i found out that it works as great even if you don't rub this too hard, with gentle application this works wonders! My skin feels sooo smooth and sort of like that of a baby's skin and i understood what my friend meant when she said GLASS-Y skin, it's because your skin feels so smooth and shiny that if anything touches it, it will slip and slide =) that's how excited i am about this product, i'm so glad i gave in to peer pressure.


* SATIN LIPS SET - yay! this is another product i am so excited and wanna write about!!! dry and cracked lips has been my problem forever winter or summer it doesn't matter. I have tried tons of lip moisturizers u name it, even the sugar/olive oil technique but it's just time consuming and too messy for me so when i saw this on marykay i grabbed it right away, lo and behold it solved my lip problem... FINALLY!!! i am sooo happy that i bought 2 morebackups... the lip mask exfoliates and softens your lips plus the lip balm keeps it hydrated all day long - byebye cracked and dry lips, hello kissable lips =) BUT... there's a big BUT, make sure you follow the directions and don't do shortcuts cuz it won't work.



* Cooling Bronzing Stick - let me start by saying: this is one COOL product! and i mean literally... at first i thought the name is just so it sounds cool but let me tell you, it does feel cool... this product can work as a bronzer (depending on your skintone) , as a illuminizer and as a highlighter! isn't that great? i'm an nc30 macwise and i have been using this as a bronzer and as illuminizer (bec. it's buildable !). When this product touches your skin, it gives you that COOL feeling like a popsicle would - i swear! it
has a sheen to it that will give you that dewy summer glow! i have been carrying this is in my purse lately, i don't have anything like it... =)

* CHEEKGLAZE- ahhh that one product that lead me to marykay. I am a blush
kind of girl so when my friend showed these babies to me of course i had to get them =D (talk about obsession) so i did get them. They come in 2 shades, tangerine/mandarine (orangey shade) and pomegranate/grenade (yummy berry shade). I apply them with my CS buffer brush as shown in the pic when i want more color on my cheeks but i also use my fingers at times which makes it quite easy bec. ur body heat makes blending easier. Their color in the container might seem to be too much but when applied on the skin it's a little sheer and buildable and this is one blush in gel form that gives you that natural flush you want most of the time for a healthy glow
.
* LIPSTICKS - before I even saw a marykay product, i've already heard a lot of good reviews
about their lipsticks, mkay is basically known to have excellent lip products and now that i've tried them i can vouch that it's true! I have the creme lipstick in SUNNY CITRUS (leftmost - a new summer shade)
lip nectar in MANGUE/MANGO (center) and creme lipstick in INSPIRATION(right). Sunny citrus is permanent and both the lip nectar and Inspiration are LE. As you can see on the swatches, sunny citrus has an orangy-coral tint, mangue is more ofa berry/red shade and inspiration is a sheen carnation pink. Inspiration is a LE shade with the BEAUTY THAT COUNTS MARYKAY CREME LIPSTICKS edition wherein $1 from each sale goes to marykay foundation that supports to end domestic violence, there's 2 more shades in Confidence and Compassion - and 1 great thing about this is the amazing packaging! It comes in a black velvety textured tube with words written all over it! And there's nothing like the feeling that you have helped in some way by being pretty =) Conclusion - mkay lipsticks are well worth it!!! -very pigmented and last all day long.


* ACNE TREATMENT GEL
- if there's one product from my entire collection of cosmetics and skincare that works overnight - this is it. What thisdoes is it dries out your acne a few hours following application and then the
next day - you'll have an acne-free face, as simple as that! =)




* EYESICLES - this is another product which I don't have anything like it. It is a cream to powder eyeshadow that comes is a squeezable tube. It comes in 2 shades: ISLAND BRONZE which has become my daily go-to e/s and VANILLA which is an excellent highlight. These guys may seem small but u really need just a teeny weeny bit and it goes a long way and there's more, you don't need a brush to apply this, as long as you have your fingers you can sweep it on anytime, anywhere.

*NOURISHINE LIP GLOSS - i have this in coral rose, it's not stic
ky at all and if you want that yummy wet shiny looking sexy lips then this is the lipgloss for you.
