**SWEEPSTAKES CLOSED**
I’m not a lipstick kind of girl.
I want to be.
I’ve tried to be.
But I always end up picking out some peachy/mauve color reminiscent of something worn by…
Well, let’s just say, worn by someone quite a bit older than I want to feel.
So I’ve always stuck with a lip stain, followed by a lip gloss…
while I wait for the perfect lipstick shade to find me.
Well it has.
And quite unexpectedly, might I add.
I recently had the opportunity to review an assortment of Mary Kay® beauty products.
They arrived packaged in this gorgeous gift box.
Included in my package:
Mary Kay® Lash Love™ Mascara
Mary Kay® Compact Mini
Mary Kay® TimeWise™ Microdermabrasion Set
Mary Kay® Creme Lipstick in fuchsia
Something about getting a package of beauty products feels like Christmas morning.
But here’s the thing.In addition to thinking that I’m not a lipstick girl,
I also had a firm belief that I was not a colored eye-shadow kinda girl.

So when I opened up this little goodie package and saw purple and silver eye shadow along with fuchsia lipstick,
I thought, Oh know, this should be interesting.
But I put on my big girl boots and decided to give color a go…

and…
I fell in love!
Disregard greasy hair and pale ghostliness…
Because now I would like to introduce you to my new best friends:
pink lips and rad eye lashes.

I’m not a big fan of mascaras that claim to give you miracle eye lashes.
I’ve tried them all, and I always just end up settling on whatever free sample they are giving out at the makeup counter.

However, I can honestly tell you that the Mary Kay® Lash Love™ Mascara is my new go-to brand–I love it! Went on smooth: no gunk, no glop, no clumps.
I was also pleasantly surprised at how subtle I was able to wear the purple and silver eye shadow. It gave that perfect pop of color without being over the top. And I can promise you, you will be seeing more of the fuchsia lipstick in future posts–because it makes me feel pretty.
BUT, the sure fire way I knew this make up is totally awesome…
when I walked down the stairs after putting it on and the hubby says,
“Woah, what’s the occasion, hubba hubba”.

If Ben notices, then it must do the trick.
