One part of my job that I absolutely love is getting to meet & make friends with other vendors! After a busy week, I was invited to take part in my friend Christine’s Mary Kay facial & makeup pampering session that she won in a raffle at a Bridal Expo! You may recognize Christine as a wedding coordinator I’ve worked with before (Sweetly Memorable Weddings & Events). Think of this session as an awesome time with some girl friends (old & new), & learning a tip or two about how to take care of your face, & learning about some amazing products! I got to meet not only our amazing Mary Kay beauty consultant, but I also got to meet another vendor, Trisha Chan, an amazing illustrator (view her work here!)! She also does some cool calligraphy! :)
Our Mary Kay beauty consultant, Alisa (visit her Mary Kay site here), was such a beautiful person inside and out! She was so friendly & fun! It was amazing getting to learn about Mary Kay as a business from her perspective, as well! I had heard of Mary Kay before, but it was awesome to revisit it and try out their products for cleansing my face, and their everyday products! :)
This pampering session was such a wonderful time! We started out with a hand scrub (forgive me for misnaming products) that left our hands feeling like silk–I was sold at this point! ;) As we moved on to learning about our skin & elements of skin care (I only thought of 3, but there are 5!), we got to experience having our lips and faces feel like silk too (or like a baby’s bottom, as some like to say!)! Alisa also showed us their foundations and a quick Mary Kay look for busy daily dashes out the door! ;)
My favorite makeup product by far had to be the foundation primer. I know I used the phrase of feeling like silk a lot, but this product felt like putting your face in a cloud, or rather what people usually envision clouds to feel like! I had never put anything on my face that felt that good before! It disappeared into my face but left it feeling so incredibly soft! I didn’t want to stop spreading it over my face! If I could, I’d let everyone try this product at least once and feel it’s awesome power in making your face feel wonderful!
Anyhow, after we put on the on the go makeup Alisa provided us with, it was amazing seeing how flawless and natural everyone looked with the makeup–two things that most women look for in makeup, & are usually ideal for portraits! I would definitely recommend using Mary Kay for any kind of portrait sessions! ;) I honestly didn’t have to retouch anyone’s faces while I processed these images!
Here’s a little peak of what our pampering session looked like!
I think I can speak for everyone there and say that we had a ton of fun, and I definitely felt pampered! ;) I truly hope every girl gets to experience something like this! It felt wonderful! :)
Happy Friday!
