Mary Kay Welcomes Autumn

By Kim Myers
The Mary Kay "look" book has arrived for fall and there are so many options to choose from within its pages. These products make great gifts for Christmas and keep you "looking good" throughout the holidays. One of my favorite Mary Kay products is the "Nourishing Body Lotion" that comes in two different fragrances. I enjoy using the "red tea & fig" on the body and then lightly spraying Bvlgari’s "Rouge T’he" (red tea) eau parfum over the lotion. The two make for a soothing combination. "Lotus and Bamboo" is a very fresh scent. This is nice just to wear alone, or I layer it with Demeter’s "Bamboo" cologne. Of course, both fragrances come in the accompanying "Body Spritzers".
There are four great Eau de Toilette’s to choose from in Exotic Passionfruit, Simply Cotton, Sparkling Honeysuckle, and my favorite Warm Amber. Warm Amber is rich and comforting in the cooler weather. Simply Cotton is a close second with a very clean, fresh scent. It is so nice to have this after a bath and just jump under clean sheets wearing a crisp scent. Probably my favorite cosmetic right now from Mary Kay is their limited edition "All Things Glamorous Color Collection". The compact and powder brush are sold separately, but otherwise the kit includes a flattering highlighter mineral shimmer powder in "Canary Diamond" (a beautiful gold shimmery powder), lip gloss in "Gold Sequins", and your choice of lipstick in either "Berry Luxe", "Couture Pink", or "Champagne". Champagne will give a paler look to your lips, while, Couture Pink is more neutral and adds more color, and Berry Luxe provides a bolder look. All can be given just a smithering of Gold Sequins lip gloss on the middle of the bottom lip to give a fuller effect to the lips. My favorite two lipsticks from her line for this time of year are "Apple Berry" and "Amber Suede". These look great accompanied by "Eyesicles Eye Color" in Vanilla and Island Bronze.
For skincare, don’t forget the "Satin Lips Lip Balm" and "Timewise Age-Fighting Lip Primer". Lips tend to become chapped during the cooler months and these two products get the job done by smoothing while also fighting lines and wrinkles.
