My aunt was so so generous. She used to be a Mary Kay consultant, but stop selling and had all these products left over, so she let me and all the girls in my family go through and take what we wanted. I am in no way bragging, I am just so greatful and would like to thank her so much.
I've never really tried out Mary Kay, so this is a great opportunity to try some things out. I did get a few makeup items, but I mostly got skincare and body care items. 
There will be reviews on some of this stuff when I use them more. 
 These are probably the things that I'm most excited for! These lipsticks are absolutely gorgeous! I love every shade, but the light pink is my favorite :) I tend to go towards light pinks for everyday wear.
Colors (L-R): Strike A Pose Rose, Jazzy Plum, Sunset, Sunny Coral, Simply Pink, and Crimson.
 These lipglosses are very sheer, and only the red one has good pigmentation. I was expecting them to have more color payoff, but from what I can tell, the formula is pretty good.
Colors (L-R): Pink Lemonade, Very Cherry, (the double ended gloss didnt have a name), and Clear.
 I haven't really used these lipliners, so I dont even have a first impression yet. When I swatched them, they were pretty creamy and easy to use. The color payoff was pretty good.
Colors (L-R): Pink, Neutral, Dusty Pink, and Tawny.
 These eyeliners are such pretty colors! I don't really go towards colored eyeliners, but I thought these ones were very pretty and subtle enough to get myself in the door of colored eyeliners. Like the lip liners, they were very creamy in the swatches. I haven't gotten to use them on my eyes yet, so I'm not sure if they pull.
Colors: Indigo and Violet
 I have not tried this mascara yet. I have some other mascaras that I'm trying to use up before I open another one. I got this one for a backup when I run out. This is just in Black.
 These blushes are very pretty in the package. I've found just by the swatches that they're pretty chalky and don't have very good payoff. But I will use these a little more to get a full review on them.
Colors: Apricot Breeze and Sunny Spice.
 The cream eyeshadows are soooooo gorgeous! But, just like the blushes, the shadows in the pan are kinda chalky. The darker purple one has better color payoff than the light one, but they're both really pretty colors. You just have to really build up the lighter pink. I absolutely love the cream eyeshadows though!
Colors: Sugar Plum and Virtual Violet. Cream shadows= Silver and Peach Chill
I highly recommend these base products. The foundations are very lightweight and kind of change to match your skin tone. The liquid foundations are 2 different colors, but when they're on, they both change to match my skin tone. I don't have acne prone skin, but my skin is very dry and I have redness on my cheeks, nose, and chin. These foundations really help to hide the redness, and are kind of moisturizing for my dry skin. They don't cling to the dry areas. I love these.
I haven't really used the loose powder yet.
The bronzing beads are beautiful. They are kind of shimmery, but not glittery at all. They are not supposed to be for contouring, just a little bronzing up. I don't mind slight shimmer in bronzer, just no glitter. And it's not like big specks of shimmer, there's just a sheen of shimmer. It's not obvious at all.
Foundation Colors: Buffed Ivory and Ivory. Powder: Antique Ivory
 Lip Mask and Triple-Action Lip Enhancer. You put on the lip enhancer after moisturizer and it's supposed to make lips softer and look better before the application of lipstick. This works sooo well, I have dry, cracked lips and you can't even tell when I use this under lipstick. So glad I found this!
 This is a hand care routine that is supposed to make hands softer and moisturized. The set includes Cleansing Gel, Buffing Cream, and Hydrating cream. and then there's a regular hand cream to throw in your purse for when it's needed. I have not tried the routine yet, but the regular hand cream is very nice. It makes your hands very hydrated and soft. I'm not big on hand cream, I don't have dry hands. They're actually the opposite, I have pretty oily hands. But this cream even helps the oiliness and doesn't leave any residue. Best hand cream I've tried.
 3-in-1 Facial Cleanser. I mix this with my exfoliant powder and it does wonders for my dry skin. After I use it, my skin feels fresh and so cleansed. Again, I don't have acne on my face. I have quite sensitive skin, and I love this cleanser.
 I just had to snatch a few of the face moisturizers. I go through moisturizer so fast with my dry skin, I had to stalk up. I haven't even tested any of these products though. I'll review them later.
 Oh my gosh, the Private Spa Collection lotion smells sooo good! It's in the scent "Embrace Dreams." I'm really bad at describing scents, so I'm sorry. But it smells delicious. I haven't tried any on my skin, but I love the smell of it :)
The "Simply Glowing" shimmering body gel is really pretty. You use it kind of like a lotion, and it just gives such a pretty glow. It has very small specks of shimmer. This is more for a tan skintone though, so I'll definitely have to wait until I'm tan. Summer, hurry up!
 This perfume goes along with the with the "Embrace Dreams" body lotion. So this also smells so delicious. It has the same scent as the lotion, but just in the body spray form. So yummy
 This is just a travel set of Facial Cleanser, Body Wash, and a moisturizer. I haven't used these, because I am planning on going to Vegas in the near future, so I will need to save these for that.
 This mirror is beautiful. The mirrors are quite large, and perfect to just throw in my makeup bag or purse. And the packaging is gorgeous :)
 This is just a makeup setting spray. I am currently using the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, so I will try this a little later. Also, I don't really have a problem with my makeup melting off my face because I don't have oily skin, I pretty much just use this because of  the finish it gives my makeup. Setting spray gives my skin a dewy finish. I have not tried this one yet though.


If there are any requests for reviews of certain products over the others, please let me know so I can get those done :)
