Brand Exploration

A friend of mine who I adore recently started selling Mary Kay ... so being the friend I am and because it takes all of about two ounces of pressure for me to buy makeup I bought a compact with some colours and a lipgloss. First of all ... I had a bit of sticker shock ... $68 for three shadows, a highlight powder, the compact and the gloss ... not sure why it surprised me that MK was so much but it did.

Anyways ... I digress. This is the look I can do with the compact. I LOVE the lipgloss colour ... and texture ... and smell ... LOVE LOVE LOVE the lipgloss. I love the shadow texture too ... just wish I had picked out a darker blue ... but that is not he makeup's fault.

Enjoy!
