Mary Kay Products
 

A friend and fellow bus driver is selling Mary Kay products now. I've always wanted to see if the more expensive brands were better so now I'll get to check it out myself. So far I've bought some eye shadows for my blue eyes and some waterproof eyebrow pencil. I haven't used it yet, but I've got on order this mineral make-up I've been wanting to try. Very anxious for this to come in so I can use it all together. Probably sounds silly to get excited for this, but I'm so ready to try something new in make-up.

Not silly at all - I love mineral makeup. I've never used Mary Kay, but I hear it is a very good line.

I love makeup, period!! I use Bare Minerals for my face, but I love to try different eye makeup. I know MaryKay has really good skin care products. Let us know how you like them!

Betsi, you aren't going to believe this but I use Bare Minerals too.

Where can you get Bare Minerals? You two are beautiful!

I have tried bare minerals and even thought I did like the results I didn't care for my break out that came with it. :(

Mary Kay does have some great stuff. It's been years since I tried their line but I so loved their hand lotions. Please post pics of your make over.

I ordered my original Bare Minerals from QVC many many years ago. You can get them at Ulta too and probably other places I don't know about.

I'll just Google and see if there is any place here close. I think I've heard of it on here before from Rebecca...remember her?

I had gotten a Bare Minerals sample kit from somewhere. It was so nice, but I don't wear makeup on my face. I gave it to Jessie, and she loves it.

I love eye makeup though. I have discovered that the dollar store eye shadows are just as good as the exensive ones for me. Mackenzie tsaught me to wet the brush, and then apply the shadow., I do fun combinations, which she also taught me to do. I like yellow shadow, with a teal thick line, and then a navy eyeliner. I also got a purple eyeliner that looks great with blues. I have so many colors! Maybelline mascasra is decent. I used to use Lancome, and I may go back to it. It's not as thick and doesn't crumble late in the day.

Mary Kay has to be good, Janet. They have been around for years!!!

We just got a Sephora and they sell Bare Minerals. I've been wanting to try it! But if it causes breakouts, it probably wouldn't work well for me :( Lots of things tend to make me break out.

As for Mary Kay, I think that's what was used when I had my makeup done for my high school grad. They used an awesome lip color for me, and she was going to order me some more, but I never heard from her again! As for the other products, I know some people really love Mary Kay anything! I hope you love it Janet!

I'm the queen of break outs. I tried that product because they told me it's great since it wont clog pores. I gave it a try and I had a really bad acne breakout that lasted for a couple of yrs. I'm still battling acne but it's under control and I don't look hideous. The mineral is oily :(

Bare Minerals is supposed to be great for people with sensitive skin, but it doesn't sound like it worked very well for you. :(

Gayle, of course you use Bare Minerals, lol!!

They make it for oily skin, now. The best thing to do is buy a starter kit, that way you get a video and the brushes, which are expensive. I have LOTS of family/friends that use Bare Minerals, and they all love it! I don't use their eye makeup because I don't think it's that much better than the less expensive kind.

You can also go to Ulta or Sephora and the makeup artists will make you up and show you how to use everything. My 89 year old mom uses Bare Minerals, as well as my 35 year old daughter and 15 year old granddaughter. It works for almost everyone. I learned to use it by watching Leslie Blodgett on QVC - when QVC has a Bare Mineral show, Leslie is usually always there and she makes up the QVC models and shows you exactly what to do.

So I take it there is a technique to using it? I'll have to check some sites and see what I come up with...maybe there is a demo on youtube.

It's really easy Janet! It's just that it's loose powder, and you just need a tiny bit of it. When you first put it on, it really doesn't look like it's enough. But in a couple of minutes, it's like "wow, THERE'S my makeup"!!!

Just checked online and it is sold at Macy's and we just happen to have one in Lafayette. Mary Kay also sells the mineral, just wonder what the difference is because MK was cheaper.

I to use Bare Minerals and I buy it at Ulta too. Ulta carries their own brand of bare mineals too. I have tried Avon products and Mary Kay and I also agree with Judy I buy inexpensive cosmetics , lipstick and eyeshadows to. I read that they are just as good as the expensive ones. I tried them all. I love the eyeshadows from Urban Decay they have a nice selection of eye shadow palette.

After using the powder, eye shadow and lipstick, I really don't think I'll be buying anymore. Like you said, it's really not any better than what I was using.

I don't use Mary Kay. It makes my eyes burn. I sell Avon and it seems to work well for me.

Linda I didn't know you sold Avon. I just ordered and rec'd two bottles of nail polish...love them and a ring. Waiting for the another ring to come in so I can order it too.

LOL Janet I have sold avon for 6 years. Right after my mom died. It sells itself.
I have customers at work that order every week. Its just another hobby. :)

Well I had no idea! Do you want me to order the ring through you or go ahead and order online like I just did? Do you get a percentage or commission? It's easier for me to pay through Paypal.

Yes, Linda gets a commisson. AND you can pay her through PayPal. All you need is her e-mail address. It's very easy!

I sold Avon years and years ago when I was first married. I live in such a small town that one woman had pretty much the whole town covered. It was a waste of time for me. It sounds like you do pretty good!!

Janet, Diana is right, I do get a certain percentage. What ever you want to do.
Makes no difference to me. I have an online store you can go to. Just put in my
name and what state and city.

That's what I'll try to do then. I'd rather you get the percentage. I keep checking, but the ring is still out of stock. Hopefully it will be in soon while their sale is going on.

Janet, we need to see a picture of your rings, please ma'am!!

Ok, I'm on my IPad, but I'll try to remember to post them in the morning.

Do you have a link?

I haven't bought anything from Avon in years. Wondering whats new with them.

Go to the Avon site about representatives put in Linda Myers, Angola Indiana and I should be there somewhere. :)

Here are the rings. The first one I rec'd, but I'm waiting for the birthstone to be restocked. Sure wish it would hurry up.
