Makeup & Skin Care Bliss

Last year at Blissdom, Emily and I were proud to wear Mary Kay makeup on our bright little faces, and this year we wanted to have the same great makeup to carry us through the conference (especially since this time we took a little tiny baby with us and our faces were likely to look a little more tired than usual).  Happily, the wonderful folks who rep Mary Kay at Coyne PR came through for us again, and this time, even helped with an extra project.

You see, despite the fact that I’ve been harping on the benefits of skin care for over three years now, Emily wasn’t LISTENING to me (shocker) and didn’t really have a skin care routine.  Then, a couple weeks before BlissDom she told me that she wasn’t feeling too great about the way her skin looked, and she really wanted it to look better before we hit the road.  So, our Mary Kay team came through for us again and hooked Emily up with my skin care recommendations. These included the TimeWise Miracle Set and Microdermabrasion Set.

These are some amazing products that will help your skin look AMAZING!  The Miracle Set has your cleanser, moisturizer, day and night solutions o use every day and the Microdermabrasion Set has the fabulous, addictive, fine-line-erasing Microderm step 1 and restoring step 2.  I used these about three times a week, in the shower.  Easy as can be, and it helps keep my skin looking fresh!

So, don’t you think Emily looks great in the picture?  She told me she thought her skin was looking better after just three or four days, and was really pleased with how it was looking by the time Blissdom rolled around. (You’re WELCOME, and I TOLD YOU SO.)

So, now that we had skin care covered, we needed some great color on our faces to go with our fab Lands’ End clothes!  We started with great basics, Mary Kay Mineral Powder foundation.  I have been using this for two years and I adore the coverage and how easy and fast it is to apply!  We also tried out some great new products that I am really excited about. The first was this Liquid Illuminator.

This is a really light, sheer liquid that adds a glow to your skin.  I wore it under my foundation but you can wear it alone, mix it with foundation, or even mix it with your moisturizer for a really subtle glow.  It gave me some  extra sparkle and I loved it!

Our other favorite new product was Mary Kay’s new cream eye shadow:

This stuff makes eye shadow so quick and easy to apply!  You can use the brush with it or swipe it on with your fingertips.  It stays on forever and it helps the rest of your eye shadow stay on, too.  I loved it!

Emily and I felt great in our Mary Kay at BlissDom.  And it is still the only thing that touches my face! If you want to try any of these great skin care or makeup products, contact your Mary Kay lady.  If you don’t have one, try mine, she rocks!

Thanks, Mary Kay for hooking us up with such great makeup looks for BlissDom!
