Danestress Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We have threads on selling, but I am wondering if anyone has favorite Mary Kay products they use. I am letting a friend do a makeover next week. She's not pushy and is clear she's trying to meet a "makeover" goal but isn't trying to sell product. But the truth is, I use makeup anyway, and I am not super committed to anything I use (except my mineral foundation) so I would be happy to buy some product from her if I have reason to think it will be a good product. But I sort of want to know what I might like before I go in so that I don't make too much of an impulse buy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 :lurk5: I am also allowing a friend to give me a Mary Kay makeover soon. I have used their eye shadow and lipstick in the past & really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I use two products and I would love to find someone to sell me some more. They make (used to make???) a mascara that is waterproof, yet washes off with soap and water called "Signature Endless Performance" And I have a VERY old lipstick that is AMAZING. I is called lipstick intensity controller. Basically if you buy a lipstick that is "too much"--too bright ot too dark--whatever, this will tone it down. Love this stuff since I cannot ever buy the right color of lipstick, whenever I get it home it looks completely different on my lips :confused:. That is all I know of Mary Kay, two products and I really like both of them. Ask your friend if they still sell them and when I can get more.

Peaceful Isle Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I use their mineral foundation as well. Love it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatashainDFW Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I really love their intense moisturizing cream....I use it on my heels and elbows lol My mother sells so I tend to use discontinued items I get for free lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgrubbs Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I love the mineral foundation powders, the skin care line (day solution, moisturizer, oil control toner) and my DH LOVES the men's shaving cream. It's his absolute favorite - plus it lasts much longer than other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingmydream Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Their hand cream is very nice and I have always loved their astringent. It really helped with acne without being too strong and drying. Their lip gloss is really nice too. I always thought the eyeshadow never lasted long though. I haven't tried their mineral lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerPoppy Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I love that super thick ointment-looking stuff--intense moisture creme? It really does wonders on feet, cuticles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I use all MK products (from facial cleansing to make-up), and I love them! I used MK products for years. Then about a year ago, I went off MK to try to save money by buying over-the-counter products with coupons, and my face was not happy. Neither was I. I couldn't seem to get my skin balanced. I needed to apply more make-up to get good coverage or so it would last all day. I found I was spending more on the over-the-counter stuff than I would have if I kept using MK. Therefore, two weeks ago, I went back to MK, and within 2 days, DH told me my skin looked better already! If he's going to notice, then it is working!!! So, with that experience, I went ahead and signed up to be a consultant! I'm pretty excited!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 For more than 12 years.... I have tried other products but I always come back. I was a consultant at one time but that was years ago. I use the makeup mostly. I use their red lip colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I still got it half off, it's amazing. The things I love: ~Their liquid foundation. So light, it doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation. It's also transfer resistant, so it doesn't smear all over your husband's shirt when you give him a hug. ~Mineral powder foundation. ~Ultimate Mascara. You can swipe the brush on the side of the tube to remove as much product as possible. Using thin layers, you can dramatically lengthen your lashes as it's buildable. I tried Cover Girl Lash Blast. Yeah, so not as good. ~Satin Hands ~Eye Primer ~Bella Belara perfume (I am so not a perfume type of girl, but this stuff is heavenly. ~Even Complexion Essence. I have really terrible acne. While I was using the ECE, it really made a difference with all my scarring. ~Travel Roll Up Bag ~Eyeliner That's all I can think of now.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awisha. Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 A really good website for reviews of cosmetic and skincare lines is: beautypedia.com The Mary Kay products here might be different from the US, but I use their new mineral eyeshadows, lippie and I love the makeup remover.

Shellers Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm 42 and have been using Mary Kay since I was 20 or so. I love Mary Kay skincare. I use Timewise 3-in-1 cleanser and Age Fighting moisturizer. I also occasionally use the Day/Night solutions when I want my face to be extra soft. I used to use their foundation but stopped using it many years ago when they switched formula. I haven't had a Mary Kay lady for over 10 years and buy my skin care stuff on ebay. A few weekends ago we were out of state and I ran out of my MK moisturizer so I went to Walmart and bought this Oil of Olay product. At first I really liked the product, but by day three, my face was completely broke out. I had 50+ tiny blisters all over my forehead, which then spread to the rest of my face. It was horrible! My whole face was red, it looked like I had a sunburn. My skin is just now getting back to normal. I'll be sticking with Mary Kay! The stuff is wonderful!

Pippen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm not a make-up person at all--just a bit of eyeliner and mascara for me. My young teen daughter loves make-up and beauty stuff and last month she had a makeover or consultation or whatever they call it with a MK consultant. She did a great job with her and really worked with her to find good colors and suitable skincare products. I was surprised by the cost as years ago it seemed terribly expensive when compared to drugstore brands. I didn't think this was too pricey this time around, especially when I think of all the money I've tossed out trying to find foundation to match her very, very pale skintone. She was already using Velocity moisturizer and cleanser for breakout prone skin. What I bought her: Mineral powder concealer cream eye shadow eyeliner pencil Satin lips mask and balm She's been very happy with everything. I also bought Satin Hands for me. It works well but I'm scent sensitive and the fragrance-free is scented and it does bother me. (I think due to an ingredient, not an added fragrance.)
