So for my first blog I'm reviewing some Mary Kay products I received for free from Influenster for testing purposes. I was excited to open the box and get to test out all the new items.
I received a Mary Kay Bronzing powder, Translucent Loose Powder, Mineral Cheek Color, Cream Eye Color in Apricot Twist, Lash Love Mascara, Gel Eyeliner with Expandable Brush Applicator in Jet Black, and NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss in Mango Tango.

The first thing I tried was the lip gloss.  I absolutely loved the color!  I wear minimal makeup and try to keep my look natural, this really worked for getting a sun kissed look. The bronzing powder and blush looked natural and blended well.  The translucent powder kept the sheen at a minimum for the entire day.  The mascara and eyeliner were long lasting and stayed put the entire day.  The only problem I had with the eyeliner was that I had a hard time drawing a very thin line with the brush provided.  The cream eyeshadow was probably my favorite item in the box.  The color is a gorgeous orangey gold, has a fair amount of shimmer to it and was easy to apply.  It lasted all day and stayed put, it was awesome.  I've worn the eyeshadow and the lip gloss everyday since I got them.  I have a hard time finding colors that work with my pale skin and freckles but these are great colors for my coloring.  Here's a quick look that I put together before work, as you can see it's still on my face at the end of the day. The second picture is a better shot of the lip gloss color and shine.
