Mary Kay Vox Box

I was chosen to sample some Mary Kay makeup gratis via Influenster.  I have to say, I really havent used Mary Kay since late middle school/early high school...I usually avoid those little make up parties like the plague.
BUT, I figured, what the heck, I should give it a whirl.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised!

In the box
Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Shy Blush
Mary Kay Bronzing Powder in Light-Medium/Clair-Medium
Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder
Mary Kay Gel Liner in Jet Black
Mary Kay Cream Eyeshadow in Apricot Twist
Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara
Mary Kay NouriShine Lip Gloss in Mango Tango
Make up brushes for the powder, gel liner, and cream eyeshadow

EYES
Cream shadow-I loved.  It had just the right amount of shimmer and glam.  I found if I layered this with regular eyeshadow, it really made it pop.  4/5
Gel liner-I liked that it came with an expandable brush.  Glides right on and smooth application makes it easy to create any look.  The only thing that I found was that it takes a minute or two to set after application.  4/5
Mascara-I was not a fan of the mascara.  I found it to not be layerable.  I love layering and layering mascara to create long, thick lashes.  With this one, it just ended up clumping on me.  It might be ok for everyday, light wear.  3/5

FACE
Mineral Cheek-I LOVED this color!  Reminds me of Nars Orgasm with just a tint of shimmer and orange in it.  Great Spring/Summer blush 4/5
Bronzing Powder-I loved this as well.  Not too dark, easily able to create a lightly bronzed look with a little shimmer.  4/5
Loose Powder-I liked this as a setting powder at the end.  Great finishing product! 4/5

LIPS
I loved the Mango Tango color and texture.  Its slightly shimmery, however not sticky.  It gives a great little orange-y glow that is so in this season!
