Mary Kay TimeWise+ Volu-Fill Wrinkle Corrector

Mary Kay TimeWise+ Volu-Fill Wrinkle Corrector $88.00 available from www.marykay.com.au

Have you ever used a beauty product and thought that the description didn't match what was in the tube?

I had that exact experience with the new Mary Kay Wrinkle Corrector (I am shortening the name because plah-leese, I am not typing it 7 times in this post)The first time I applied the very thick cream to my eye area as part of my nightly skincare routine it felt very strange and not nourishing to the area at all. The next morning I applied it to the same area around my eyes whilst looking in a mirror and it was amazing. This is what I wanted the much hyped Indeed Labs Nanoblur to do, act as a primer, fill in and blur fine lines and sit perfectly under my make up! Mary Kay claims it to be a fine line and wrinkle corrector with skin care benefits, but I am not too sure it works that way and I didn't see any improvement in my fine lines over the 2 weeks of use. But I did become obsessed with it as a primer for eye make up, it is perfect at mattifying and blurring imperfections and have been using it daily.

There has been a huge amount of these blurring and priming products hitting the shelves lately and none have seemed to really work out for me until now, so if you are like me and haven't found a product to hit your priming spot then this gem is worth a try.

Beauté Gazette LOVES Mary Kay's new True Dimension Lipsticks

Mary Kay True Dimension Lipsticks $29.00 each available from www.marykay.com.au

The new True Dimension Lipsticks from Mary Kay have totally blown me away and for a lipstick to wow a beauty blogger it must be really something special because as you can imagine I am swimming in all kinds of shades, colours and formula's of lipstick!

Firstly the packaging is extremely satisfying, you push the top in and pull the lipstick out from the bottom so there is no way that this can go rouge at the bottom of your handbag and cause any damage.

The formula is sheer, buildable and very moisturising and gives a sheen to the lips without being glossy - LOVE THAT. 

The two orange based colours 'Citrus Flirt' and 'Tangerine Pop' are similar but different enough that I love both. 'Citrus Flirt' is a day time totally neutral office appropriate orange where as 'Tangerine Pop' is a bright pop of colour and looks great with a smokey when on a night out.

'Sassy Fuchia' is a bright blue based pink which is totally up my street, it is a pink lipstick lovers must have! 'Berry a la Mode' is a true plum which has been filling my need for a 90's dark purple lip this winter.

Mary Kay is no longer the direct selling brand of yesteryear, you can totally click to buy on their sassy website! These lipsticks are totally bomb and I am crushing out pretty hard on every colour, and I hope that the colours are expanded so I can add more to my collection.

NAIL WEEK! Day 2 : Half-Moon Nail Art with Mary-Kay Nail Lacquers

Nail Week : Day 2 is all about wearable nail art trends, a favourite staple in the nail art trends over the past few seasons is the Half-Moon design. It is classic and very versatile, by switching the colours you can create different seasonal combos and tonal variations. Ok let's do this!

Mary-Kay Nail Lacquers in Mulberry Forest and Enchanted Mauve $15.00 each available from www.marykay.com.au

If you follow me on instagram @beautegazette you would have seen my rave reviews of the Mary Kay Nail Lacquers, they are phenomenal colours and super fast drying. Combining the soft ballet nude of Enchanted Mauve with the rich Mulberry Forest gives a very polished yet edgy look to the nails and the colour combination is perfect for the cooler winter months. Both of the colours are from Mary Kay's new Fairy Tales and Fantasy collection, which is now available online from their website - gone are the days of waiting for a consultant it is now only a few clicks away.

STEP 1:
Paint your nude base coat 'Enchanted Mauve' is a great base as it has a very quick dry time, which is what you want when you are layering colours for nail art designs.
STEP 2:
Pour out a small pea size amount of 'Mulberry Forrest' on a disposable piece of paper, this is the polish you will use for the half moons.
STEP 3:
Using a small fine tipped craft brush map out the Half-Moon shape in 'Mulberry Forest', outlining the semi circle. Take your time to be neat and precise.
STEP 4:
Fill in the Half- Moon semi circles with polish, this will take 2 coats. Leave the first coat to dry before starting the second coat otherwise it will all gloop together on your nail.
STEP 5:
Once your nails have completely dried, clean up your cuticles with a cotton tip soaked in nail polish remover. Then apply your favourite Topcoat to make your amazing new nails last a little longer and add some mega shine!
