Pampered and Glammed by Influenster and Mary Kay

One of the most exciting campaigns that I've gotten to participate in lately has been from Influenster.com, a fabulously fun program that is a word of mouth/social network base which sends boxes of happiness, also known as VoxBoxes, full of goodies that are themed items/products that members get to try (for free) and submit (via social networks) their honest opinions/reviews and associated media (such as photos/videos) based on their experience with the items. The latest campaign that I've done with Influenster was with Mary Kay products, the MKGlam VoxBox. This was my first Influenster campaign, so I nearly fell out when I opened up this package and found all of these (full-sized) luxurious items tucked away inside:




As you can see in the photo above, this was an amazing opportunity to try a wonderful, wide variety of Mary Kay cosmetics...

 It's not listed on the card above, but I had also received a luxuriously lush powder brush. Other than that, everything else sent in this most decadent box is listed on the above Mary Kay card...

 Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color, "Shy Blush" gives my cheeks a natural, soft yet finely pigmented color, and blends so well into my skin tone...

 
 Mary Kay Bronzing Powder works wonderfully for even my fair skin, my face looks gently sun kissed, never orange or fake. I never knew a bronzer could look so natural!

 
 Mary Kay Powder Brush and Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush are my new favorite brushes, so butter-soft!

 
 Mary Kay Cream Eye Color, "Apricot Twist" was my first experience with cream shadow, the color is so pretty and I love the way it glides on and stays on!

 
 Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner with expandable brush applicator, "Jet Black" has a lovely, rich pigment and draws as thin or thick a line as I want along my lash line, lasts like a dream!

 
 Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder, oh, the luxury! I use this daily, it is finely milled and not only sets my makeup beautifully, but gives me a subtle, soft sheen that gives me a finished, flawless look and leaves me feeling pampered...

  
 Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara, "I Love Black" is deeply pigmented and rich. The color glides on my lashes and has never clumped or caked, fabulous!

 
 Mary Kay Nourishine Plus Lip Gloss, "Mango Tango" is amazing! I've tried LOTS of different lip glosses, but none have ever worked for me as well as this one. The gloss makes my lips feel incredibly smooth and supple, and so very pampered. It stays on without feeling gloppy, gooey or sticky, and I'm able to control just how much of this pretty color as I wish by applying only a little, or a couple of coats. I've put several of the colors on my wish list, I want them all!

I was BLOWN AWAY by the MKGLAM VoxBox that I received, each and every product has been and continues to be an absolute pleasure to use. I now have a better understanding why some people love Mary Kay so much. I've learned that Mary Kay's products are of excellent quality, finely milled and highly pigmented, therefore they last much longer and thus are a better value than many cosmetics available at the local drugstore. I indeed feel "glam" and pampered applying and wearing these Mary Kay products, they have really given me such a lift in my daily makeup routine. I have a running list of items to order from Mary Kay now, I've gone from MKGlam to MKFan!

~~I received all of the above products complimentary (free, of no charge) in exchange for trying/testing and using these items and sharing my experiences and honest impressions opinions of these products. A special thank you to Influenster.com and Mary Kay for allowing me to participate in this program, this was such a treat for me and I have thoroughly been enjoying these products since the day I received them, what a treat!~~
