Mary Kay for MEN - Introducing MKMen

Yes, you have read that right. Mary Kay is not just for the ladies anymore. They now have a skincare line for men: MKMen. So you can tell the Mr. that he no longer has to hide the fact that he uses your skin care products (c'mon, we all know they DO it), and that he can now proudly display proof that he takes care of his skin the way REAL men do. With men-approved packaging that they won't be ashamed to carry around on a business trip!

For summer 2013, Mary Kay introduced MKMen. A line of skin care for guys. Really, it was about time! If our skin ages, theirs do too! What is wrong with a guy who takes care of his skin? C'mon people, the sun affects everyone the same way...not just women.

Here's what Mary Kay has to offer for the guy in your life:

MKMen facial hydrator sunscreen SPF30
I can't say it enough...sunscreen is so important...every day...year round. Believe me, what you do today, your skin will thank you for tomorrow.

The line also includes a Moisturizer sunscreen SPF 25 (broad spectrum), a shave foam and a cooling after-shave gel. 

Is your man just as bad as you are when it comes to fragrances (I know mine is), then this kit might be the perfect gift, or addition to his collection:

I do love this kit. It offers a nice mix of scents (from mild to bolder) and is a fun way to try out the different scents MK has to offer.

New scent (bottle) we're obsessed with: Viva La Juicy Noir

Did you hear the news? The iconic fragrance house Juicy sent their people back in the lab to tweak their original scent in order to create something...dare I say it...even more enticing?!
If you are a fan of the original Viva La Juicy, you will want to check out this sultry take on the original!

The Inspiration

Bold, sensual and arresting, Viva La Juicy Noir is a captivating fragrance that embodies the Juicy Couture DNA: Discover the couture in the everyday.

Viva La Juicy Noir reflects the bold side of the glamorous Viva La Juicy muse.  A sultry take on the original,Viva La Juicy Noir is for the woman who is daring and leaves a lasting impression. She’s the life of the party – not afraid to show off and get noticed. She is irresistible and unforgettable.

The Fragrance

An enticing interpretation of the original best-selling Viva La Juicy fragrance, Viva La Juicy Noir highlights the succulent ripe berry notes and gourmand accents of the classic scent with a touch of honeysuckle and sandalwood.

Bold

Opening with a hint of wild berries mixed with sparkling mandarin and succulent Mara strawberry, these notes capture the vibrant spirit of the Viva La Juicy girl.

 Sensual

Mysterious and feminine, at its heart Viva La Juicy Noir boasts lush honeysuckle, beautiful gardenia petals and feminine jasmine sambac.

Arresting

Delicious notes of amber, caramel and creamy vanilla combine with sandalwood to create an addictive finish to the scent.

                                                   

And the packaging...oh my!

A striking pink metallic bottle that utilizes a complex metallization technique to create a liquid pink metal effect. Yes, PINK! It also has a faceted glass cap that tops the vintage-inspired decanter bottle, etched with the iconic Juicy Couture crest. A black satin bow finishes the bottle and captures the seductive spirit of the night. Any packaging junkie is probably staring at her computer screen (and my blog entry woo hoo) with a huge grin on her face. I'm right, am I not? I know I am...because it was my reaction upon reading the press release. Yes, I admit it. Juicy, you had me at...packaging!

Sexy scent, sultry bottle...I think you are onto something here Viva La Juicy people! I, for one, cannot wait to add this one to my collection!
