Mary Kay is a brand that I have used for a long time, ever since my sister in law used to sell it. I happen to know a great gal who sells Mary Kay and she hooked me up with a few things to try. So you know what I picked? You guessed it. Lip color and polish! I'm trying the limited edition Hollywood Mystique Collection.
Here, I'm wearing Mary Kay Base/ Top Coat. Apply to clean, dry nails.
Now, I added two coats of Tempting Teal Nail Lacquer. I really like the thickness of it. My nails looked great after just one coat. Usually, I paint my nails with three coats of color, but there really wasn't any need to do this. Thumbs up!
Next, I tried the Mary Kay Bold Shine Lip Color in Radiant Red. I've been looking for a red type of gloss for a while and this stuff is thick and smooth. It's glides like a gloss but has the coverage of a lipstick. Who new that I could have the best of both worlds?

First, I applied the Mary Kay Lip Liner in clear to prevent bleeding. I didn't know that they made such a thing. May have to order some!
Not bad! It's a little bright, but I will probably tone it down with a darker liner or put it over a deeper, red lipstick. It's definitely going to get a lot of use during this Holiday Season!

Disclosure: I received free product to facilitate my review. Regardless, my opinions are honest and 100% my own.
The nail polish and lipstick looks great on you! I like painting my nails too. It makes me feel like I'm a lady. I love Tia and Tamera's nails. They always look so smooth and vibrant. Maybe I need to invest in a manicure kit so I can smooth out the roughness around my nails.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! :)
nice polish color and lipstick. i love pretty polish, but I only get to polish my toes because my hands are in water so much and I have one lipstick color.great review!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie. I haven't seen Tia & Tamera's nails lately. Might have to check them out. I love being inspired!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't paint my nails!
ReplyDeleteIn my teens and 20s I always kept my nails done on a regular basis, but I haven't been able to keep up with it for quite some time. The polish really doesn't last like it used to. Back then I always used Revlon. I don't think I've ever tried Mary Kay polish, but I have used their facial creams and cleansers years ago when a friend of mine was selling them. Your review was great and I like the polish on your. You're right that gloss is bright, LOL, but I'm sure you'll hook it up.
ReplyDeleteBTW: I like the blog back this way. :-)
Petula- lol! I used to wear polish almost everyday when I was young. I try to at least once a week now.
