And then we attempted to recreate a look similar to a peacock feather...



 





We almost got it...

How girls are made up for billboards, adds and magazines

This is a dove add, and part of their campaign for real beauty.



This is one of the reasons I love youtube. You get to see real women putting their makeup on, and the real results they get in their real living rooms.
They aren't polished, perfect, glamorized, touched up. They are real.

Catch you all in the comments.

Introducing MelissaNSD

I found another brilliant Mary Kay consultant/youtuber.
Her name is MelissaNSD and so far she has gone through a few looks you can create using the color cards.

She is a beautiful girl and a real treat to watch.
Check her out.

Satin Lips review/tutorial by 16ystiifyed

Hey, remember that girl who made a video for me as her first ever video.
Well, she made another video and it's fantastic.
She did a little review/tutorial on the satin lips set, and I must admit that the satin lips set is one of my favorite things ever.
She did a brilliant job too.  Very well done for a second ever video.



Hope you like it as much as I did.
Talk to you all later.
Rosemary.

Kat's Miracle Set Review.

It seems to me every now and then that I put more of Kats videos up here than I do my own.
I unfortunately suffer from large amounts of convincing myself I am too busy to make a video.  This probably isn't really true.

Anyhow, Kat has made another wonderful video.
It's a review of the Miracle Set, the basic skin care set offered by Mary Kay,



She did a wonderful job making this video.
It's a brilliant review. 

I will check in with you all soon.
Rosemary.

Where is Beth?

Me and Kat recently realized that Elizabeth, or MKBeth has disappeared off youtube and neither of us had any contact information beyond her youtube channel. 
I know that she once followed my blog, I am wondering if she reads this if she could email me stardustandunicorns@gmail.com and tell us where she went. 
Not that we want to go all stalkery on her, but we want to know that she is ok. 

KTHXBAI

My friend Kats Twilight series.

I am loving this series by Kat sooo darn much.

I am totally a closet twilight fan.
(don't tell anybody though)
(and yes that is why I first tried the Bella scent)

I am going to update this as she uploads the videos, so check back to this post regularly to see the different looks

Also I am totally looking forward to Alice.  I loved Alice. 

 





And for the next few series she had an eye pallet that wasn't Mary Kay.
The attraction being the brighter, bolder, less natural eye colors.









I LOVE THIS ALICE!


I got another entry!

I got another entry to my my compition!

I am soo excited about how many people have taken part in this. 
This is one from another Mary Kay consultant in Canada, and it is actually her first ever video. 



She did super well. 
I am really pleased.
It's Awesome.

How to order Mary Kay

Mary Kay Cosmetics are sold on a direct sales basis.
That means you need an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay (such as myself) to place your order with her.

You can find a Independent Beauty Consultant near you by inquiring at the Mary Kay Website, or my calling or emailing me and I will find someone for you.

You can buy in person, by having a one on one facial, or beauty appointment or by hosting a party. 
A one on one appointment will allow you to get really personalised service, or a party or skin care class is a fun way to earn bonus's that can get you the products you want for a reduced price or maybe even free and a wonderful way to share a pamper session with your friends. 
See my what to expect at a skin care class blog by clicking here



The other way you can order your Mary Kay products is to become a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant yourself, and ordering your products at wholesale prices from Mary Kay.


Email me for more information.
I love recieving your emails

What to expect from your skin care class.

I have been intending to do a video for a while, on what to expect from your skin care class, but unfortunately I have been unable to complete the video. 
So, in the interim, a text based explanation on how your skin care class will go down.


The purpose of the skin care class is to teach and educate people about their skin and how and why to look after it.

There is some stuff that will happen before your skin care class even begins.
First of all, if you are the host, there is the chance for you to get pre-orders from workmates, friends and family who can't make it to the night.  I will provide you with a look book and a pre-orders form and these pre-orders will help maximize your hostess rewards of discounted or free products.
I can also provide you with advice on what to say when inviting people to your skin care class, because some people can find this a bit awquard, or even advice on who to invite.

A few days before the skin care class I would call gather your guest list and phone numbers from the guests, so be sure to tell them to expect my call.  I do this so I can ask them questions about their skin and what their concerns are and make sure that I bring all the right products. 

People will arrive, get to sample the satin hands set try the satin hand set, then we will all settle in for the presentation.  The presentation will include discussion on the way skin grows, what it is made up of, and what you can do to help it maintain it's natural health.
Then everybody gets to sample the products they need based on the phone call we had a few days prior.
After that everybody can get matched up with their perfect match foundation and the formal part of the class is over.

The next part is the individual consultation.  This is where I talk to all of the guests individually by sitting aside and discussing orders and future bookings.
If anybody purchases skin care products then I will phone to see how it's going two days after ordering, and then in two weeks we will arrange to meet, to see if anything needs changing while she is still eligible for the money back or exchange guarantee.  This can also be a fantastic time to book for a color lesson, or to book a skin care class of her own. 
If you are the hostess you can help by making a little coffee to give people something to do while I talk to the others.


 And that's pretty much it.  Your skin care class in a nutshell.

I will see to you guys in the comments.
And as always,
Don't forget to be Awesome.

Rosemary.
