Mary Kay is making this Nerd Mom look Good while doing laundry!

I am a longtime fan of Mary Kay products and used to swear by their Satin Hands and Lips set. Unfortunately, Motherhood hit this Nerd Mom hard and my days of splashing on some make-up to start my day went buh-bye. Until recently I would go through my day with a naked face and some chapstick but now thanks to my Mary Kay voxbox from Influenster I am rediscovering my inner diva!

 

I absolutely love the products that were in this box. The Cream Eye Shadow goes on silky smooth and can be built up one layer at a time for a more dramatic color. This allows me to apply it lightly while I run errands or even hang out at home doing laundry and then punch it up when going out with the Hubs at night with just a few more layers or even use it as a base for my regular pressed eye shadow. This product coupled with the double duty pulling eyeshadow/concealer brush are a dynamic duo I can totally get behind.

The Lash Primer and Mascara were also huge hits! I wear the Primer alone everyday to give my lashes a little more volume and definition and when I want some oomph I follow it with the lengthening mascara. I couldn't believe how great my eyelashes looked! It was almost like I had false lashes on but better cause this mascara didn't clump and didn't cause any breakage or any lashes to fall out. I have tried lots of mascara brands before but I have never gotten results like these before. Color me impressed!

Finally, I have to give it up to Mary Kay for the fantastic-ness that is their True Dimensions lip stick. I have never used a pink lipstick, EVER. I didn't think it was for me. I also generally stick to glosses and balms cause my lips are a real problem area. This lipstick was phenomenal. The color, Pink Cherie, was just the right pink. It can be applied with a heavier hand to get a poppin' pucker or used more sparingly and blotted lightly for a perfectly pink pout (i like to alliterate lol) . It has a smooth feel when it's on and didn't dry my lips out which I have found to be a problem with almost every other lipstick I have dared to try. It lasted a good while as well and didn't bleed or fade.

I put all these great products together and when I looked in the mirror could not believe how much time I had wasted by not taking the time to make myself up a little before now. I carry these things with me everywhere now. I have been shouting from the rooftops about how great these products are (well, I would if I wasn't already shouting at my kid to get his finger outta there...) I am so glad I got a chance to try these products and I am looking forward to becoming a Mary Kay customer again and buying/trying all the great products they have!
