Seen here is gel eyeliner, mineral blush, bronzed, translucent loose powder, cream eye color, eye color brush, nourish shine lip gloss, lash love mascara and a blush brush.
Mineral Blush: I love this blush. It is their medium pink color and has this gold undertone that makes it really awesome for the summertime! Just a few dabs of the brush is all you need. I like that I can actually see that I have blush on as opposed to continuing to apply and suddenly looking like a clown.
Bronzer: Bronzer is very similar to the blush as far as consistency goes. I have to be careful applying this one though because we all know what too much bronzer looks like! Overall, though, I like the color and quality.
Translucent Powder: I don't wear a ton of foundation and what not, but this powder is very light and controls some oils. It's meant to help maintain face makeup throughout the day, but I just don't wear any so I used it more to reduce shine and it worked pretty well that way!
Mascara: This is the only product I really didn't like. I have ong eyelashes and rubber wands with short bristles just don't do it for me. It left my eyelashes clumpy, stuck together, and overall looking pretty rough. If they could just change the brush, I might be able to use this product. Maybe I'll try that with an old wand of mine!
Lip Gloss: Color is Mango Tango and it was so fun! The tube looks like a vibrant red-orange color but it goes on smooth and is translucent (so no looking like the Joker!). It stays on pretty long for a gloss, and was just enough color to make your lips pop!
Gel Eyeliner: I think the missteps I had with this were more user error than product error. I can attest to it staying on really well because my clumsy self could not get it off after mis-application very well. I need a better quality makeup remover I think! Otherwise, great depth of color (this one was black).
And that's it! I haven't had a chance to try the cream eyeshadow yet because I haven't worn that color yet. It's rather neutral - a golden cream color, but I just haven't had the chance yet
Overall, my first try with Mary Kay was a good one! Their powders all seemed to be really high quality. The brushes too. I would recommend their face products, the verdict is still out on the gels/eye products.
Thanks Influenster for my trial box! I now have a new brand to go to for blush and bronzer!
