For the last few months I've been using the TimeWise Repair set as I was beginning to notice more and more signs of aging around my mouth and eyes. I wondered if the volu-firm set (which has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval) would make a difference, and I was curious about the foaming cleanser that I'd heard so much about. Well, if I could choose only one word to describe the change in my skin it would be "astounding". After regular use morning and night of the cleanser and lifting serum, and daily application of the day cream (with SPF 30) and the eye renewal cream and night cream that includes retinol, the miracle happened. One day as I was applying foundation I realized those lines on my upper lip and around my mouth were not noticeable anymore. The transformation happened gradually, and then like magic, I was looking at my younger looking skin. This is one product that allows women to put their happy on with confidence every day! And the foaming cleanser - it's simply amazing. -

So here's the deal ... I would focus on the beautifully made up faces of the models in the magazines, and then try to duplicate the results using my handy dandy selection of q-tips, cotton balls, blotters and fingers. The results: less than picture perfect, and a frustrating experience. It's kind of like trying to finger paint a masterpiece. An artist needs the right tools. Having the Mary Kay Brush Collection has transformed the experience of applying colour and contouring; this brush collection includes the six essential brushes you need to apply lip colour, blush, eye colour and more. Packaged in a practical organizer bag, these brushes are a perfect gift for the artist who, like me, needs to stop using just any tool. No turning back ... these high quality brushes are truly a great value! -

In my lifetime I have witnessed the evolution of mascara and tried many different brands. The choices and promises are many, so knowing what you want is really important. No smudge racoon looking eyes at 5:00, healthy lashes, no clumping, and no more using a pin to separate lashes! MK Love Lash Lengthening mascara delivers: no clumping or smudging, it wears well all day long, making my lashes longer, defining my eyes with finely separated lashes. The wand is sculpted and the application makes beautiful eyes in an instant. This is one product I would have difficulty living without. I found my keeper! -

For someone who used to quickly use my hands to wash off a days worth of dust and makeup, this product has transformed my evening routine to a time of spa-like deep cleaning and bliss. The soft bristle brush circles over my skin and removes layers of grime - there is no way my hands removed what this brush takes away in seconds. As a result, my skin feels alive, clean, and refreshed, ready to receive the hydrating moisturizer I apply each night. The brush is easy to clean with warm water, air dry, and it's ready for the next day. Two brushes (one white, one pink) come with the product - which means there is one for him and one for me. (Yes - he loves it too!) -

What a lovely selection of colour choices - it was hard to decide which duo I liked best. But at this price, it won't break the bank to choose a couple for wardrobe flexibility, and contouring fun. So just how do you use more than one colour when applying blush? This is where the magic began. The lighter colour was applied under my eye area and truly helped to define my cheekbones. Using a touch of the darker spiced poppy colour on the apple of my cheek offered a sun kissed look; and alternately, using a brush to define the cheek bone from three fingers width off your nose, and on an angle to the temple, for a radiant healthy glow. I loved watching my face pop with colour that endures for the day. -

What I did not know until recently is that applying foundation is a critical part of your skin care morning routine. And until recently, this was a step I would skip if I was in a rush to get out the door ... why would it matter? Mascara, lipstick, a pinch to the cheeks and I was good to go. I didn't realize that I was leaving my skin exposed to the harmful elements of our environment, including the sun. What I've discovered about Mary Kay's CC Cream is that it not only protects skin from the elements with its SPF 15, but it is amazingly light and oil free. One pump of this creamy foundation distributed on the tips of my fingers ... dab, dab, dab all over my face, smoothing to the hairline and down to my chin. My skin tone appears even, blush and eyeliner glide on easily; there is no transfer of foundation to clothing, and it holds up extremely well in the summer heat - this foundation is my new best friend. -
