Hello blog lovers,
For today's post I am sharing my first impressions and an overall review of Mary Kay skincare. I have recently been introduced to this brand through a colleague at work who follows my blog and very kindly gifted me an evening pamper set of Mary Kay's skincare products, a company that she works with.
I love trying new skincare products and putting them to the test, do they work? are they worth the money? Well, if you'd like to know.. just keep reading.
First of all I wanted to say this is the first time I've tried any products from this brand and I am been pleasantly surprised. This brand is extremely girly as you can probably tell from the bag, card and pink packaging! The products I received were all package beautifully and a lovely light pink colour. I would rate the appearance very high!
Products -
Pamper Evening Set - Mary Kay
- Botanical Effects cleansing gel, Timewise Microdermabrasion refine, Timewise pore minimizer and a mask
When I know I'll be trying new products out that can result in a pamper session, I have to rummage in my collection add a bath bomb into the remix and here is one I used from Lush Cosmetics! This is a repurchase and an absolute favourite - how many people are in envy of how amazing my bath looked? Only bad thing is... It did leave a lot of glitter residue!
I started off with using the cleanser to remove my make-up, it is a gel formula and I applied a small amount of this cleanser into my hands and massaged the product into my skin taking off both my face, and eye make-up. I then rinsed the cleanser off and applied the TimeWise Microdermabrasion refine scrub across my face and then rinsed, this had mini beads inside which felt as if it thoroughly cleansed my skin and got into my pores. I must admit my skin felt squeaky clean afterwards and I like to feel a product working!
To make my skin even cleaner, and softer and to help with minimizing pores I went in with another product from the TimeWise collection which is the pore minimizer this product is very moisturizing. I lastly applied the mask to my face (with all of the products, apart from the cleansing gel I definitely can have about 2-3 uses out of them - which is great for sample products!) this mask is very refreshing, and the best thing (if you're tired that is) you can keep the mask on overnight - I loved the concept of this mask, it left my skin feeling very soft and refreshed!
Overall I have enjoyed trialing these products out for you all. They applied very nice to the skin and have left my skin feeling very refreshed, soft and smooth, and extremely clean. There are a lot of brands out there to try and test but I do rate these products highly. I have also been given a brochure of their products to learn more about the brand, as from what I have learnt so far with my research they have different products/ranges for different skin types and ages to tailor to your skin type. I will continue to try the rest of my samples out before deciding whether I'll purchase, as I feel you have to try new products out for a certain amount of time to know whether the benefits of the products work for you!
