Mary Kay Party Part 2: Hosting

So Part Two is finally here. Friday evening the girls and I had a little spa party to get ready for our big day. Now, prom isn't a new thing for me but I still love dressing up and looking all special. I was so incredibly excited to do this party. Now this one was a little different since we had a new consultant come out (incredibly sweet and kind lady). To find a Mary Kay consultant, you can use this tool on their website and message one near you. We tried some fun and new products, as well as some of the same ones we tried last time. I will link my last post here so you can check out any of the products I reviewed before. Ready to get started?
So like last time, we started with the Satin Hands $34 for the full set $10 for just the hand cream. I again used the peach and loved it. We also at one point took a break from our faces and put this on our feet to prep for pedicures :). I would have tried their newest scent (Limited Edition Honeydew $35) but she accidentally forgot it, but I did smell it later and it smell SO YUMMY!
Next, we used the same eye makeup remover ($15), and satin lips set ($18) as last time but we tried a different cleanser and moisturizer. This time we used both the TimeWise 3-in-1 cleanser ($20) and the TimeWise Age-Fighting Moisturizer ($24). We also used the Day Solution Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 ($32) and I feel the same as last time about the items I had used before.
After that, we used the same foundation primer (Mary Kay Foundation Primer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 $16). We then used the Time Wise Matte-Wear Liquid foundation ($20). This time we used the dot technique to evenly distribute the product with our fingers. I still prefer to use a brush, but this did apply really well and, unlike the luminous-wear we used last time, all of the grease didn't pile up on my face and make me oily, so I do like this one more. We then used the same bronzer as last time (Mary Kay bronzing Powder -$18).
Are we on to eyes already? Instead of using primer, we put the foundation on our lids for a base, I'm not going to lie, I still love my Urban Decay Primer Potion. But our shadows did stay on pretty well. For the eyes this time we got to choose between coastal blue, violet storm, and (I believe) glacier gray Cream Eye Color ($14) Though I don't think anyone actually chose the gray color. I used Coastal Blue. For the most part, these are pretty pigmented colors and buildable to a point, at one point I felt like I was taking off more than I was putting on though. I did buy Beach Blonde last time and I still wear it almost every day, they remind me a bit of the Benefit cream shadows which I love.
Next for our eyes, we took a black eyeshadow called Brilliant Black from the Mineral Eye Color Line ($7) and blended it up into our crease and outer corner so create a smokey eye. That particular eyeshadow has a lot of fallout, but I haven't noticed that with any other shadows from the line.We then took another goldish-cream colored shadow, from the same shadow line and used it as a highlight for out inner corner and our brow bone.
Next some of us used eyeliner, (Gel Eyeliner with Expandable Brush applicator $18). Pretty basic, it went on nicely and stayed in place pretty well, I didn't notice too much fading throughout the rest of the night either.
Lastly, we used the Lash Love Mascara ($15) in I ❤ Black. I didn't really notice any clumping or it adding too much volume or length, but I have naturally long lashes. It's also water resistant AND comes in I ❤ Brown. So the brown one is on my wishlist, since it's so hard to find a brown that is water resistant; seriously go check the drugstores, chances are you won't find one. 
So after that, we talked a bit and asked questions for tickets for a drawing of a Mini Mary Kay Satin Hands set, and then another person was drawn (me) for a chocolate candle, that I'm pretty sure I got John for Valentine's Day this year. Keep in mind that all consultants have different things they do, some give credits you can use to buy things, some do more games than others, some won't work on you unless you are 18. It really just depends on who you chose. So all in all I think the party is a success and I definitely think that it went better the last one and I am so glad I met this consultant, she is an incredible woman and she made the party so much fun. That's it for the Mary Kay Parties for now but I will be reviewing some of their products later!!
