I am so flipping excited! Mary Kay is launching a new makeup line called Mary Kay At Play! It's all fun, funky, bright, shimmery colors. And the best part is it is amazingly priced! Every piece in the line is only $10! I just love it! Here is me and 3 beautiful face models who tired the Baked Eye Trios

I get the rest of the new product next week and I cannot wait to try it all! So this is what I look like when I am "at play". How about you divas? 
Check it out here to get the whole scoop of this great new line :)

Pinterest look of the week! June 24th, 2013

Another great look I found on Pinterest. It lead me to this site
http://weheartit.com/entry/21480107/via/withloveaudra
which was just the picture so I'm not sure what they used to get the look
But here is the comparison!
Left- Pinterest
Right- me!

How I got this look:
Eyeshadows: Sweet cream as my highlighter, Azure is the teal, Cinnabar is the brown and Coal is the accent black on the corners. I'm way too in love with last years limited edition black gel eyeliner. For mascara, Lash Love black was great to define the lashes. I could have used Coal a bit more but not too bad for just looking at a picture!

Do you dare to use a little color, like teal, in your everyday makeup divas???

Lets talk lips!

I normally focus mainly on my eyes when it comes to my makeup. I love my eyes and I always want them to be the focus of attention. But lately I have been having crazy eye allergies so I had to take the contacts out and put the glasses on. And since I have to get really close to the mirror to do my makeup when I don't have my contacts in I figured its time to show off another great asset! LIPS!

So first to prepare my lips, we have to get them kissable soft!

This is one of my absolutely favorite products of all time! I don't leave home without my lip balm it is just that good. But what makes it better is the lip mask. I keep my lip mask just outside of my shower that way when I see it I can put it on. I alway think about my lip mask at the wrong time! Like in the car and you can feel that skin on your lips right? Anyway! I scrub the mask on before and then once I am in the shower I can rinse it off. So when I get out then I can put on my lip balm. Pretty simple. 

Now what color to pick???

I love this little statistic that Mary Kay gave us about 4 months ago. MEN ARE DRAWN TO OUR LIPS! LETS MAKE THEM WANT THEM EVEN MORE! Lol I swear this is true because once I put my lipstick/lip gloss on my fiancĂ© wants to kiss me. So here are a few of my favorite lip mixtures. 
Top right- Soft Blush lip liner and True Dimensions Wild About Pink lipstick
Bottom right- True Dimensions Mystic Plum lipstick and Fancy Nancy lip gloss
Bottom left- (my favorite!) Plum lip liner and True Dimensions Firecracker lipstick

So Divas, what do you prefer? Pink or red lips???

Pinterest look of the week June 15th

Again I absolutely love when my company makes my life easy. So if you read my bio, I am a bride to be! I haven't thought much about my hair and makeup but the other day Mary kay posted this picture...

I just thought that this was so perfect! I had to try it! So I did...

I love this look! It's soft enough but at the same time it makes my blue eyes POP! I did use a different lipstick color (One Woman Can) because it was close enough and I just love it. And I also used Lash Love Lengthening instead of Waterproof because, honestly, I really don't like the waterproof. 
So this entire look is $111.50. Some people pay that much just to have their makeup done for their wedding! And of course since I am a consultant I only pay $55.75 so even better! Get your makeup done and keep it to use later for the same price? I'm in!
Here is the link to see how to apply it
Enjoy fellow Divas!

When is a lipstick more than a lipstick?

I absolutely love my job! I get to teach people how to take great care of their skin and get all dolled up by knowing how to do their own makeup too. But Tuesday night I realized I am even more than that. I have a few senior customers that love their Mary Kay and even love me. I have this one customer, Kimi. She lives in senior residence and she is always so happy to see me. One day I asked the front desk if her family comes by and they told me not that often. No wonder she loves when I come by to check on her.
On Monday she called me to let me know she was running low on something. First, she is always so excited that I know who she is just by hearing her voice. And since she is such a great customer of mine I even knew off the top of my head what she was low of and she got so excited. Tuesday night I took her product to her and when she saw me all she said was "I am so happy to see your beautiful face" and she gave me a big hug. Her smile was from ear to ear. she was just so happy to see me and talk. I am so much more than her beauty consultant. I am family!
As a Mary Kay beauty consultant I don't just make an impact on someone's skin, but on their heart too! I love my life! How about you???

Pinterest look July 5th 2013

Okay so this one was actually something that Mary away corporate put together. I didn't think that it would look all that good. I thought that eyeshadows Silver Satin, Gold Rush and Truffle where just an interesting mix of colors. So I figured I would try it to actually see. And of course, they know what they are doing so it looked beautiful! Very pretty, yet shimmery natural eye with a bold red lip! I think the lip is my favorite with our True Dimension Firecracker and Norishine Lip gloss Rock n Red! What do you guys think?

Primer, powder and finishing spray.... Oh my!!!

I don't know about all of you but I feel a little crazy when new cosmetic trends are coming out. First it was primer and I wasn't very happy but I love it now. Then we got finishing spray. Again confused about what it was meant for but after working all day and going to the gym afterwards and my makeup still looking fabulous enough to grab a bite to eat, I was good with it. Now we have translucent powder. First I was again confused, we have mineral foundations that work right? But now you don't have to match the color, you just use translucent. So I wanted to de-mystify all these cosmetic tools for you. Just an FYI all this info comes from our Mary Kay website and my own personal experience. :)

First, we have foundation primer!

"fill in imperfections and dries quickly to a matte finish to create the perfect canvas for a flawless foundation application that enhances foundation benefits and extends wear."
You honestly can feel a difference putting your foundation on with it and without it. It just goes on so smooth when I have primer on. I am someone with oily skin and I love that I don't feel like I am sweating my foundation off, especially in this lovely Southern Cali heat we are getting right now. If you can only pick one of these 3 products to use, it would be this one for me!

Second, we have translucent powder!

"Feels weightless, natural and velvety soft on skin. Controls unwanted shine all day. Provides a sheer, invisible finish on every skin tone to set foundation. All-new formula contains light-scattering properties designed to help soften the appearance of imperfections for a skin-perfecting finish."
When I put this on after my foundation every morning it feels like nothing. And for someone with oily skin again I don't have to touch up my makeup all throughout the day. The one thing I like best bout this over a colors finishing powder is that if I have a break out, sometimes the color powder will like attract it more so I will get a dark spot sometimes. With this it's all translucent so even if that spot attracts it I don't have a problem. :)

Last but not least we have our brand new Finishing Spray!

"When makeup meltdown is not an option, give it the staying power to last up to 16 hours. As a final step, helps makeup look freshly applied for hours. Also works as a refresher any time of the day. Dries quickly and washes off easily. For any skin type, even oily."
Now this one was a real mystery for me. My makeup was already staying on great! The real test for this one was my Zumba class. Sometimes I take Zumba in the evening but then of course someone will want to do something after. Well no worries here. When I know I am going to Zumba that evening, in the morning I will wear my finishing spray. After Zumba I am still good to go out! Here is even a picture after Zumba one evening and then I went out to dinner with my family. If you have many activities to do and you fear makeup meltdown, don't worry! Finishing spray will do the trick!

Hopefully that has help a few of you with the confusion that is primer, translucent powder and finishing spray! Have a fabulous day divas!
