This review was written by my daughter for Mary Kay on the Go! Nancy Motz, Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant.

I am one of those girls that absolutely will NOT go out of the house without some kind of makeup on. It’s not that I feel unsure of myself; it’s just that it makes me feel more confident. When my mom asked if me if I would like to get some Mary Kay, I was like, OF COURSE! When searching through the catalog I realized that there were a lot of great products to choose from. I was also surprised to find that they offered products not only for women, but for men too!

This is great, because most cosmetic companies don’t. Here are the products that my dad and I chose for review…

Au Natural Nourashine Lip Gloss
Silver Satin Mineral Eye Color
Emerald Mineral Eye Color
Satin Lips Lip Balm
MK Men Cooling After Shave Gel

My dad got the Mary Kay Cooling After-Shave Gel. He said that it was “indeed cooling and did not burn like most other after shaves that contain alcohol do. It went on smooth and did not leave any evidence of razor burn.”

They had many things to choose from. Some of the things included lip gloss, eye shadow, foot care, and many, many more things to choose from. I personally love lip gloss, so I knew that that would be one of the first things I chose. The first lip gloss I chose was in their “Nourishine Plus” line. I have to say that I am really impressed! I usually only wear clear lip gloss but, this one is not. They call it Au Naturel. It is kind of a light pinkish color. It’s really pretty and goes great with the natural color of my lips!

The next lip gloss I picked was clear (of course), but part of their special line called “Satinlips”. When I tried this on, I was amazed! Within seconds my lips were already starting to feel renewed and silky smooth!

After this, I decided to explore their eye shadow. This was a good decision because I found many, many great shades of beautiful colors. The first one that caught my eye was “emerald”. I loved it, and when I tried it on, I loved it even more! My eyes are green, and this eye shadow really makes them standout.

Another one that caught my eye was “Silver Satin”. It’s not unusual that I would pick silver, because I usually wear shades close to silver, on a daily basis. Both shadows are amazing and gorgeous! They both seem like they contain many, tiny sparkles to add a little to it.

Overall, I am really impressed and happy with my decision in picking out these wonderful products. I hope that many of you will read this and go out and buy your own Mary Kay products, and love them just as much as I do!

I am wearing Silver Satin Mineral Eye Color and Nourashine Lip Gloss!

    I have one of the Mary Kay glosses and love it. I need to save and buy a few more, when I can. Thank you for the honest review.

    You look really nice in the Mary Kay products! I too must wear make-up when I am going out! Makes me feel so much better! I love Mary Kay lip gloss! I have had Mary Kay products in the past and have always found them to be an excellent product! Thanks for sharing!

  7. Amy Orvin says

    I have never tried Mary Kay products but want to try. I am not one of those woman who can’t leave the house without make-up but I don’t like to leave without perfume. So, if I win, I’d try some perfume. They all look wonderful!!

    I haven’t used very many Mary Kay products before, but I’m really liking some of those eye shadow colors.

    • Nancy Motz says

      Marti,

  10. kelly goss says

    Love Mary Kay products, and your daughter is just adorable! She did a great job with the review!

  11. Vesper says

    I haven’t come across these products before but then I rarely wear make-up unless I am going out for the evening

    • Nancy Motz says

      Vesper,

      The skin care line is amazing. Mary Kay is not all about make-up. http://www.marykayfoundation.org/Pages/Home.aspx

      The Mary Kay Foundation
      a legacy of love
      About Us

      Throughout her life, Mary Kay Ash showed others how to live. And how to give. She gave hope to women who lacked opportunity and self-esteem and financial support to the causes she believed in. Although she died on Thanksgiving Day 2001, her legacy of love continues through the The Mary Kay Foundation, which she began in 1996.

      The mission of the TMKF is two-fold:
      • We are committed to eliminating cancers affecting women by supporting top medical scientists who are searching for a cure for breast, uterine, cervical and ovarian cancers.
      • We are committed to ending the epidemic of domestic violence by providing grants to women’s shelters and supporting community outreach programs.

      Since the Foundation began in 1996, it has granted $25 million dollars to organizations fighting cancer and violence against women.

    I’ve been asking my hubby to try the “For Men” line of Mary Kay, but he says…”NO WAY, Mary Kay is for women!” I truly think Mary Kay would be beneficial for my hub’s. I’m not gonna give up on him. Wish me luck, please!

      My husband really loved it! He was surprised they had stuff for men, too, but was more than willing to try it out!

      • Nancy Motz says

        In all honesty, men probably need more of the skin care products. There are a lot of men that work and/or play in the sun more than women.

        I hope you entered the contest! Good Luck!

  14. Heather carter says

    Aww you look great! I would probably try that same shade in eye shadow. My eyes are my best feature and I would want to make them POP! I <3 mary kay!

  15. Kathleen Quinlan says

    I HAVE USED MARY KAY PRODUCTS BEFORE AND LOVE THEM!!! I THINK THEIR FULL LINE(AND NOW THE MEN) ARE ALL 100% GOOD 🙂 SOME PRODUCT LINE COMPANIES HAVE A COUPLE WELL KNOW PRODUCTS, BUT MARY KAY HAS ALL HER STUFF IN THE POPULARITY + CATEGORY. I CAN NOT SAY I HAVE TRIED THE MEN’S LINE, BUT I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BUY FOR A MAN AS A GIFT.

    That Lip Gloss Really Has Good Packaging (container and art on it) Thank you. Jerri Davis

  22. Deborah Michelle says

    I have used and liked numerous Mary Kay products! I really like the lip masks.

  25. Jenny says

    thanks for the review of the products, I love Mary Kay and have used their eyeshadows and lipglosses, and now that they have some men’s products it is a great company for both women and men.

  27. Janell says

    I dont wear alot of makeup. I just dont have the time but I may just try a little harder especially if I win some Mary Kay

  28. sheila musselman askins says

    i have never bought a mary kay product that i didnt love! love the lip gloss..i must try it next!

  29. mark c says

    thanks for the mens aftershave review, i’ve always heard mary kay has really good stuff, i would like to try some of their mens stuff.

  30. Jeannette Laframboise says

    I used to use Mary Kay make-up a few years back but the lady I bought from moved away and I never did get another consultant. I have always loved their make-up and have missed having it. I also didn’t realize they now carry men’s products too. Perhaps both my husband and I might find our way back to Mary Kay. Thanks so much for the review and the info!

  33. Lanie K. says

    Thanks for the review. The lip gloss sounds awesome. I would love to try that sometime. Also, the aftershave sounds pretty awesome for men.

    • Dawn says

      I think my daughter’s lips are just poofy like that, lol! However, Mary Kay may sell a lip plumper or enhancer. I will try to remember to ask Nancy later today for you. 🙂

  39. Alyshia F. says

    Thanks for the review was considering buying the cooling after shave for my husband but wasn’t sure now I am Thanks!

  42. Joyce Mlinek says

    My husband would like the after-shave that does not contain alcohol and I would like the lip gloss.

    • Dawn says

      I will tell my daughter that you think so. 🙂 Thank you so much! I helped make that. 😉

    Nice review
    Just a suggestion…
    To get men to try Mary Kay’s products for men, don’t use the word Mary Kay as men using Mary Kay’s products just sound unmanly, use the term MKmen instead, just like it says on the Cooling After-Shave Gel

  45. Azslyn Cole says

    i am definitely interested in buying some of their great products thanks for the great review =}
