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. 


Watch this funny video I found on the Mary Kay youtube channel.

The fear of buying the products before knowing

A lot of people fear buying products before they get to try it out first.  The beauty of this business is that I can provide you with samples of any product or color to try out before you spend the money on the whole thing. 


Contact me anytime, and I will gladly send you samples.  Any independent beauty consultant will do so, in the Mary Kay business, and I believe that is what distingushes us from other brands.  We will personally deliever them if we can also.


From the make-up to the skin care products, we have many samples to give away.  If you are looking for a new fun set of eye shadows, I can hook you up.  Maybe you want to try a new lip liner and lip stick.  I can give you the color you desire.  Maybe you would like to see how your hands feel after using our new fragrance free satin hands set.


Whatever the case may be, I can get you what you need.  I am a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant, and I am here for you!
