Remember the post about tips on having actress Lupita's flawless skin by using Mary Kay’s Botanical Effects™ Skin Care Four Piece Set?
Well I gotten a chance to use them and also able to try out some cool makeup products from Mary Kay.
Mary Kay has 3 different skin care sets Formula base on your skin type- Dry, Normal, and Oily. I chose to use their oily skincare set (Formula 3) because in the Spring and Summer months my skin is very oily that I find myself patting with blotting tissues all over my face throughout the day. I need to make sure I don't look all greasy after an hour of wearing my foundation.
Botanical Effects® Skin Care – a simple regimen infused with the goodness of botanicals that are personalized to your skin type to bring out skin’s healthy radiance.
This set includes:
- Botanical Effects® Cleanse Formula 3 (Oily Skin)
- Botanical Effects® Mask Formula 3 (Oily Skin)
- Botanical Effects® Freshen Formula 3 (Oily Skin)
- Botanical Effects® Hydrate Formula 3 (Oily Skin)
It is suitable for sensitive skin and is free of alcohol, fragrance, and synthetic dyes. Non-comedogenic.
My Review
- Botanical Effects® Cleanse Formula 3 (Oily Skin)- I love the fact that this cleansing liquid is not harsh on my skin and also cleans off my makeup very well without leaving any residue. My skin did not feel all dried out like some soaps makes my face feel.
- Botanical Effects® Mask Formula 3 (Oily Skin)- OMG this mask is beyond wonderful! After cleansing my skin, I added the clay mask to my face and neck and waited for it to dry. The drying time is 10 minutes but I left it on much longer because it was so relaxing and I felt like I was relaxing at a spa since I was lying in bed while the mask dried. I washed it off after 20 minutes and my face was lighter and so touch-ably smooth! This mask can be used 2 to 3 times a week.
- Botanical Effects® Freshen Formula 3 (Oily Skin)- This is like a toner spray to help freshen up your face. It also helped wipe away the rest of the clay mask I had left behind on my face after washing it. My face was even smoother after using this freshening spray and felt rejuvenated.
- Botanical Effects® Hydrate Formula 3 (Oily Skin)- This is a moisturizer to hydrate my skin. It didn't leave my skin greasy at all like some moisturizers and it works prefect under my primer and makeup. I just can't stop touching my face, it's so soft- seriously!
- Mary Kay's Translucent Loose Powder- The powder I normally use has a tint color to it but not this translucent powder, it goes on clear after applying your foundation. It helps control excess oil and gives your skin a flawless tone without giving off a ashy cakey look. It gives your makeup the perfect finish. You can also use this powder by itself too to help control oil. A little goes a long way. Price is $16.
- Mary Kay's Rock N' Red/Rock N' Rouge Lip Gloss- This lip gloss is a bold color red in which I like. I'm not much of a lip stick wearer but I love me some lip gloss because it has my lips popping of color without over-drying my lips like matte lipsticks does. Plus I love the shine that lip gloss gives. This lip gloss is long lasting, even after eating food I didn't have to reapply. I received so many compliments! Price is $16.
- Mary Kay's Lash Love Lengthening Mascara- This mascara really elongate my lashes without making it clumpy. My lashes looked fuller and I love the fact my lashes didn't feel like a hard crunch. Price is $15.

Your skin looks flawless. I think my skin is oily or normal depending on my hormonal state. I still have not jumped into the beauty habits, but when I do, I'll have to decide what kind of skin I "mostly" have he he
ReplyDeleteYes Elayna, determining what type of skin you have will work best to know what skincare products are right for you.
DeleteLove it! I just LOVE Mary Kay Products!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Jenna!
DeleteMy wife is always looking for things like this.. i will pass it on to her
ReplyDeleteI use Mary Kay foundation every day! Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Krystal!
DeleteI am IN LOVE with the Mary Kay brushes! Have started to use the blush and am pleasantly surpried. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI need to check out their brushes and blushes. Thanks Dionne!
DeleteI think I have used their lotion.. Sadly.. I don't wear much and am pretty ignorant on what kind of make up to buy.. With three little girls... I am hoping my girls don't hold this against me.
ReplyDeleteThey shouldn't hold that against you Aimee.
DeleteYour "after" pic is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is the second Mary Kay product you've reviewed recently, no? I have never tried Mary Kay, but I must say, based on your reviews, it doesn't seem to be what I thought and looks to be worth a try.
Thanks for "breaking it down"!
No Courtney this is the first time reviewing Mary Kay. Their products are way better than I expected but price is a bit high. The facial mask is the bomb and I will continue to keep buying that.
DeleteOh, okay. My bad...I could have sworn you mentioned/review another Mary Kay product not too long ago.
Delete(But, 'eh, it's wholeheartedly possible that sleep deprivation is doing a number on my memory! :-(
No worries girl. I love skincare products and I review them a lot here on the blog, so that's why you may have thought I did a review with Mary Kay before.
DeleteI've heard great things about Mary Kay, but only ever tried their lip gloss.
ReplyDeleteI love their lip gloss!
DeleteI love Mary Kay products - I really want to try that gloss!
ReplyDeleteThe gloss is great! I love the fact that it last all day, even after eating!
DeleteI love Mary Kay! I use their Timewise collection mostly. I am almost out though and have been thinking of trying something new.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Timewise collection but never have tried it before.
DeleteReally great review. I have dry skin as it is, so a cleanser that doesn't leave your face feeling dried out is really important to me.
ReplyDeleteMy skin is oily so I have to have a cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin but will nourish it and make it feel soft.
DeleteMary Kay offers the abosute best products! Thanks for sharing your review! You look stunning in the photographs, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lauren!
DeleteI was gifted a whole bunch of Mary Kay products from an ex-rep. I love their products. The botanicals are amazing.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I wish to be gifted with Mark Kay products all the time!
DeleteI have always wanted to try mary kay but I would need help since im a no makeup kind of girl since i never really learned proper application
ReplyDeleteYou'll need to find a Mark Kay Rep to help you Alvina.
DeleteI love Mary Kay's Rockin' Red! It's orange on me, but it's one of my faves. I'm almost out and need to restock.
ReplyDeleteThat Rockin' Red really does rocks! It's on my faves list too!
DeleteYou are so beautiful :) Love MK here too. I have that lengthening mascara and I love it.
ReplyDeleteAww thanks so much Mel!
DeleteI have heard good things about MK products. I will definitely have to try out this set since it made your skin soft. #ProductReviewParty
ReplyDeleteYes, try it out girl, you'll love it! The best from the set is the facial mask.
DeleteYour skin is beautiful...I used to use some MK skin care products they really work great.
DeleteI was sent the set for dry skin. My review is coming soon but let me tell you, I love that stuff. I can't use the Timewise cleanser but I can use the Botanicals cleanser. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is great! I never tried the Timewise cleanser before.
DeleteYeah it's great Susie!

Can I spray toner on my face and wipe it instead of spraying it on a cotton? Stupid question.. I know.. but was wondering if it will be better that way because I feel like if u spare it on a cotton it will absorb all d goods instead..
ReplyDeleteYes you can spray the toner on your face. I also do this with my makeup setting spray.
