{2012 Holiday Gift Guide} Mary Kay Review and Party!

We are kicking off our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide with the world famous Mary Kay Cosmetics!  I have never tried any of their skincare products so when Amber Rose - Independent Beauty Consultant contacted me about trying some stuff out, I was excited!  

I was able to try the Mary Kay® Botanical Effects™ Mask.  The first thing I noticed it that it was white!  I don't know what color I expected but white wasn't it.  It is really thick and creamy.  It went on very smoothly.  Because it was so thick, I overestimated the amount I would need to cover my face.  It really only takes a small amount and feels more like lotion than a mask.  As I waited for the mask to dry, I could feel my skin tightening.  After I washed it off, I instantly noticed a difference in my skin.  It really cleared up all my excess oil but was non-drying.  I noticed that my skin felt cleaner longer after I used it.  It also helped clear up my pores.  I have really large pores so it is hard to find a product that does a good job cleaning my face.  I really like my mask and plan on buying some more Mary Kay soon!  All their products would be great stocking stuffers for women or teenagers.

Right now, we are hosting our very own online Mary Kay party!  Everyone who buys from our party will receive free shipping on orders $50+, and an extra 10% off of orders over $100!  Just go here and shop your heart out!  Just write "Blabs party" in the comment section on the order form to receive your discount!

There are a few specials going on right now.  Mary Kay has two new lip glosses out right now and $1 from the sale of each lip gloss is donated to the Mary Kay Foundation - which gives grants to organizations that help victims of domestic violence. Also you can start your own Mary Kay business in October for only $75 plus you will receive up to $150 credit on your first product order.
