Ciao Amici!
Over the past few months I have been slowly becoming passionate about makeup, skincare and beauty products in general. I have come across beauty bloggers, youtubers and vloggers that I didn't even think existed! I feel that I focused on university so much that I completely forgot about other things that I'm now having time to do and enjoy a lot! Before, I used to wear lipstick and not bother about the brand, the name etc. To be honest, I didn't even notice lipsticks had names hahaha...I went by the colors I liked. I don't know what world I was living in, but it surely wasn't a "makeup loving world" if that makes any sense to you? ;). Enough background now let's get to the makeup....Below, are some products I received while looking for freebies online (that's a completely different topic that I will probably address in another post).
I have been enjoying what I got quite a lot! These Mary Kay products in particular, I find to be of good quality. So far, what I like the most about them is their long lasting formulation. Even though when I first tried the jelly lip gloss I found it to be sticky, I later noticed that it lasts for a long time and it is moisturizing enough so I can forget about the fact that it feels sticky on the lips. I know that if I want something that will last for most of the day, I can wear the products shown above. The same applies to the cream eye shadow. I love the texture of it, how it feels when I apply it and even though the color looks a bit scary and nasty on the container, it comes out really nicely once applied to the lids. When it comes to the lip gloss, I prefer to use it over another lipstick just to add a little bit of shimmer and glossiness to the lips. I don't think I would wear this color by itself. In the case of the lipstick, for me it is darker than what I'm used to but is definitely a good choice for winter months and not something I would wear on spring or summer. I found nothing exciting about the lip primer...
I will leave my opinion on the mascara and lash primer for another post in which I plan to do a more detailed review along with other mascaras that I'm currently using.
Here is a list of the products in case you want to look them up online at the Mary Kay website and swatches of some of them starting with the cream eyeshadow, the lip gloss, jelly lip gloss and finally the lipstick.
