On-line Shopping

Many people either hate it or love it, on-line shopping that is.  If you are like me, then you like to be able to try a product, or physically see it or touch it before a purchase.  Many people go blinded and just order away on different websites, because they know they can always send it back if they do not like it. 

With Mary Kay cosmetics you can get the best of both worlds.  Contact me for a free sample of a product that sparks your interest, and I will send it to you free of charge.  You can test it out, and if you love it order online on my website. 

If you just want to order without waiting another minute, then purchase something today!  If you receive the product, use it, and do not love it, then contact me and I can send it back for a different color or product of equal value.

My job is to create the ultimate beauty experience, so whether you want some fun product samples, or you are ready to purchase you new cosmetic order, I am here for you! =)

Mommy can I try your make-up?

I was inspired to write this post, from my little seven-year-old cousin.  Over easter vacation my aunt called me to babysit my little cousins.  One is seven and the other is two.  About a half hour later I saw them walking down the alley to come to my house.  I greeted them at the door and to my surprise, both girls had given theirselves a glamourous make-over.

My cousins had dipped into my aunts Mary Kay make-up while she was in the shower, and both girls had more blush, eye shadow, and lip stick on then that lady from the Drew Carey Show.  It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.  They both looked like miniature clowns. 

It just goes to show what little girls are capable of, and that make-up is an essence of beauty for all ages.  This is another lesson for the mommy's of the world, always put your make-up on the top shelf.  ;)

A Poem About Our Girlfriends

I received this poem from my Regional Mary Kay Director, and I just thought it would be great to share it with everyone.  It just shows that everyone is beautiful in their own way, and you should always follow the golden rule.  I hope everyone will get a chance to read this, and share it with their girlfriends....


~A Poem About Our Girlfriends~


Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
The most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
The richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes~ might be lonely.
So, love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,
"I am too Blessed to be Stressed, and too Anointed to be Disappointed!"
"Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen."
Be "Blessed" ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
"To the world you might be one person, to me you are special!"

We are there because we care!

Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants really are one of a kind.  We offer the most valuable customer service that money cannot buy.  When you buy your products are a store you cannot return the color if it is not working out for you, expensive name brand products are non-refundable as well.  The make-up consultant at the store will not hand deliver the product to you either.  You rarely receive free gifts with other brands, and you cannot host parties in the store with your friends.

Official Mary Kay Blog

I get a lot of my blog ideas from my own creativity, but I highly encourage all of you to follow the Official Mary Kay Blog: Reflections.  Authors Rhonda Shasteen and Anne Crews discuss the purpose and passion behind the business and the people of Mary Kay. 


My blog is mostly about my personal business, but I will also be sharing my stories about being an independent beauty consultant, and also my customer stories, of make-overs and the products.


Stay tuned for more great stories of customer makeovers!!!! =)

College Students, need some extra Cash?

There is beauty behind the MK business.  You are your own boss, you set your own work times, and you have an open window to endless possiblities.  In one week you can make $100, or you can make $1,000.  It is really up to you how you run your business, but earning extra cash is the biggest perk.

I found this video on youtube.com to show you a couple success stories of ladies who have started their own business, and how they are taking off. 

So check this link out, and see for yourself how easy it is to make some extra $$$ Mary Kay for college students

Spring into some new bright colors

I read a poll once in Cosmo magazine that over 63% of men said the first thing they notice about a girl is their eyes.  Whether or not you believe that statistic is totally bogus or true, it does not really matter because eyes are the first thing anyone will look at when they talk to you.  It is proper etiquette to look at a person in the eye when you speak to them. 


Mary Kay offers great color ideas to make any eye color and shape POP!


It is always good to pick a light color as your base color, a shimmery/darker shade to streak across the crease of your eye, and a dark color to use as the edge crease.  Next week I will be sharing some pictures of a customer make over, and give step by step instructions on application. 


Until then check out the awesome eye shades from Mary Kay.

Yes Men! Skin care is for you too...

My whole life, I always thought only women really care about their wrinkles and taking care of their skin, but believe it or not many men are self conscious of skin problems as well.


A good friend of mine, which I will not name to protect his masculinity, started to get bad acne when we were in high school. He asked me what kind of products he should use to get rid of drudgy zits and I told him that I had always used Mary Kay. 


I had some extra acne products for him to try out. He used the Blemish Control Toner and Acne Treatment Gel for two months, and after using them every night before bed everyone started to notice a huge difference. When some of his buddies asked him about what he was doing to help his acne, of course he lied and told his buddies, he was on medicine to clear it up. He did not want to admit to using skin care products.


He used the classic skin care line to clear up his acne, but Mary Kay has recently released the Mary Kay Men's Line of skin care products.  They are not something to be ashamed about either, because these products are GREAT! There are face bars for the shower, and shave foam and cooling gel, for every man that has to shave day in and day out. Mary Kay also has men's sunscreen, because everyone, no matter what gender, should be protected in the sunshine. There are also a handful of great smelling men's fragrances and body spray.


Visit the MKMen Products Website to learn more.

So why Mary Kay?

Many people think I am bias when it comes to Mary Kay cosmetics, but in all honesty I have given all beauty cosmetics a try.  I will be the first one to admit that I do not use all Mary Kay products.  I actually use some makeup products from Napoleon Perdis. I bought the makeup when I was in Australia, and I fell in love with some of their products.  My favorite from Napoleon Perdis would be the pre-foundation primer and their blush patrol.


When it comes to skin care though, I only use Mary Kay products.  Many doctors suggest that if you are going to use skin care products, you should use all of the same brand of product. 


Whenever I get an acne breakout I turn to my acne treatment gel and I cannot remove my eye makeup without my oil free eye makeup remover. 


Many people have the preconceived conception that Mary Kay makeup is very expensive.  For the quality you get it is 100% worth it, and the products last for a long time.  I have had the same mineral powder foundation for over a year and there is still plenty.

Three Steps to Softer Hands

The new fragrance-free Satin Hands pampering set is the newest body care product of Mary Kay. 


Step 1: Apply a dime size amount of the Fragrance-Free Satin Hands Hand Softener.


Step 2: Apply one pump of Fragrance-Free Satin Hands Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub, rub hands together, rinse off with warm water, and pat dry with a hand towel.


Step 3: Apply a small amount of Fragrance-Free Satin Hands Hand Cream and rub into your skin. 


**Your soft hands will last up to 24 hours and after several hand washings, it will leave your hands silky smooth**
