My favorite line of Color Cosmetics!!!

  I hope everyone is doing totally awesome this week!  Last week I talked about my favorite skin care line.  So…this week I am honored to introduce my favorite brand and line of color cosmetics! Which along with my favorite skin care is a TOP BRAND!!! Yes, it’s Mary Kay!!! From foundation to eye color, eyeliner and mascara, cheeks, lips, etc.  I love my Mary Kay makeup!!!  

So here are a few of my FAVORITE products that I use:

• Mary Kay Brushes: I love my Mary Kay brushes to apply my makeup.  They are so soft and now they have recently came out with their very own brush cleaner to keep these fabulous brushes in great shape.  Much cleaner also than applying the foundation with my fingers, I’m so glad I decided to start using the foundation brush.
•   After washing my face with the skin care, I use the Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover to get my eye makeup off.  A little dollop on a cotton ball and a couple swirls around the outside of the eye and all clean.  This stuff is truly fabulous!!!
•   Love my eye colors from powder to crème, I have to say I am a huge fan of the crème eye colors.  So many choices and they last a long time as well.  (btw, love my pink eye crème,  and I just got in new colors and tried our newest green).  I use them quite often also.  My favorite eyeliner would have to be the gel eyeliner they just came out with…love the way this stuff glides on.  And, the Lash Love Mascara(comes in black or brown)…who doesn’t want longer fuller lashes….another great product!
• The cheek colors are awesome as well and just add to the colors I use.
  (Sunny Spice is probably my favorite)
• Love, Love, Love our lip colors, whether it the lipstick or lip gloss. When using the lip gloss’ really make the color stand out on your lips.  Use it with the lipstick or by itself.  (I love the Berry Kiss Lipstick and the Clear lip gloss, and also the Red Passion Lip gloss).

I do love the fact that this can be a very simple and natural way to wear my makeup. The colors make it easy where you can go for a nice and natural look for during the day or a fun and dramatic look for going out at night.  The choices are endless and Mary Kay provides several looks that you can try on yourself before you even buy.  AND, what makes this even better is our NEW Virtual Makeover App and you can get on my website (you can even download the App to your PC or iPad through itunes) where you can upload a picture of yourself and try on different colors, products, and even hairstyles to find what you like.

My Favorite Skin Care line! :-)

Hope everyone is doing great! I thought this week I would chat with you all about my

favorite brand of skin care and color cosmetics.  If you don't already know, I sell Mary Kay, and use these wonderful products on a daily basis...and I love the way they make my face feel!  I never thought much about being a sales person but it can really be a blessing, even if it's disguised at times.  :-)  That’s another blog posting in itself though.
So...I wanted to share some of my favorite MK products and when/how I use them.  First, I want to dedicate this blog post to skincare, next time I will talk about the makeup part....so stay tuned to this series.  :-)
Did you know that every time you go to sleep with your makeup on your skin ages 9-17 days overnight!  Wow…crazy, right?  Well, with these couple of steps and around 3 minutes each day and night we can help this aging skin we have. Yay! 

First, I would like to introduce the Time Wise Ultimate Miracle set, which cleanses, exfoliates, tones, moisturizes and protects your skin.

I wash my face with the time wise 3-1 cleanser, this takes care of 3 of the steps (cleanses, exfoliates, freshens/tone).  Dermatologists say we need to be doing this day and night from the age of 16!  When washing our face use your last 3 fingers because your 1st 2 fingers are the strongest and can cause pulling and tugging.  Always go in an upward and outward motion.  Remember, up is young and down is old.  And, wash our faces 2 times per day, no more!
Next, I use the Time wise Microdermabrasion and replenishing serum (twice a week— Wednesdays & Weekends). This is one of my favorites, because it’s going to shrink our pores  and help with dry patches, wrinkles, blackheads, whiteheads, scarring on our faces as well as on the body, and stretch marks. Now the replenish serum is the “layer of luxury,” this is after the microderm scrub and it floods a NEW layer of healthy skin with vitamins, nutrients from it’s tri-tea complex(red, green & white teas) and most importantly anti-oxidants which are HUGE to help keep our skin healthy, even fighting off free radicals which could drastically alter the overall complexion of our skin! Plus, LOVE how it feels!  
Next is the Time wise Replenish Vitamin C Serum.  Did you know that by the age of 15 the collagen in our bodies start breaking down?  What naturally happens is that with age our elastin fibers start breaking down, causing unwanted drooping and fine lines in our faces, ugghhh…   What this does is it allows the production of collagen back in, as well as tightening, firming and lifting our skin to produce a more healthy GORGEOUS GLOW!

Then I use the Time wise day solution (and at night, the night solution), also known as “fountain of youth/miracle eraser, or Spanx in a bottle.” During the day we are going to protect our skin, and at night we are going to renew it!  Plus, the day solution has a SPF 35.  It has calming peptides that relax expression lines, contains antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, light diffusers to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it’s gluten free (not oily or sticky & great for those allergic to sunscreen.)  The Night Solution repairs your skin while you sleep by counteracting daytime damage with botanicals & peptides.  Will help restore, stimulate collagen, & restore the elasticity & firmness, helps fine lines and wrinkles fade away. The pump burst beads in the bottle, giving you a fresh dose of these vitamins daily.  (Vitamins A,C&E)
**great for acne, cuts, scrapes, mosquito/bug bites, burns, shingles…etc.
Then the Firming eye cream, which firms, tones, brightens and moisturizes around the delicate eye area.  Ending with the Time wise Moisturizer with SPF, have to love that, right? This will give you 10 hours of hydration, restoring the moisture in our skin.  It’s oil free, and there’s a special humectant blend which will draw moisture from the air, plus powerful antioxidants,  Essentially it will form a protective barrier to keep the good things in and the bad things out!

After these steps I add the final skin care step, Time wise Foundation (Matte wear).  I love the finish of the foundation and a little goes a long ways. 

The foundation not only matches with your skin tone but your undertone as well.  It work amazing with the foundation primer to last through out the day.  I also love using it with our foundation brush! 

Then I add color, eyes, cheeks, lips, but that’s in another post. 

I hope you enjoyed a look into some of my favorite skin care items.  Comment if you have any questions.  I do love to hear from my readers.  Oh, and check out my website as well.  Leave me a comment or send me a message if you are interested in knowing more about the Mary Kay products or career as well.

Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year!

Well, it’s that time again!  It’s Christmas time and time to start a brand new year!  As we say good-bye to another year gone by we said a warm wintery Hello to the new year 2011!  Wow! To think about everything that has happened in this century so far and how much we have learned in the past 10 years! 
The memories we have made with old friends and even new ones that we may have just met this year.  We’ve accomplished goals and maybe even created new ones.  We’ve started new careers and made new plans for ourselves.  I’ve had many friends who have become engaged and have been recently married and some who have had their first child.
Though being approximatly 2,000 miles away from those college and post college friends  that I left behind in Indiana, it’s great knowing that I can stay in contact with them over the phone/Facebook/email.  Even though looking at pictures of everyone sometimes brings me to tears as I think about all the good times we’ve had, and how much I miss them!
Even thinking about the new friendships I have made with the friends that I’ve been blessed with working on this new church planting ministry.  We’ve been able to reach so many different people through music and drama and just by being able to create relationships around us and spread the good news about how wonderful a relationship with Christ is!  I look forward to the many adventures we have together through what God has plan for our lives.  It’s going to be such a great adventure!
Starting new career paths is always a scary thing to do.  But starting a business with MaryKay has been a huge challenge for me!  But it as been extremely worthwhile for me every step of the day.  It’s allowing me to get out there and meet new people and try new things.  I’ve met so many new friends that I have been blessed to work with through this new business endeavor.  They have helped me overcome my fears and accomplish my goals.  I am so blessed to be about to work with these wonderful people that I can call friends! 
I could not have accomplished anything with out the love of God with me!  He is always there in my good days and my bad ones.  When I am feeling lonely, I can run to his arms and just feel comforted.  Whether I am in my quiet time or worshiping in our Sunday service.  For as Philippians 4:13 says, for I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.  And God gives me daily strength to make it through each and everyday.
Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  And as I look at this verse over and over again I am reminded that God knows what is best for me, he knows where my career path leads and he knows who that “future husband” is for me.  So as I continue to study God’s word and dig deeper into the scriptures and live out the word of God by telling people, performing dramas or maybe just by helping people.  I can be assured that I am still growing and learning more day by day.
