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.

-lightweight
-10 hour protection
-multitasking : hydrates, contains age-fighting benefits and protects with its SPF 30
-contains antioxydants to fight free-radicals from the environment, which cau contribute to wrinkles and fine lines
-oil and fragrance free

SRP $27.00

MKMen Advanced eye cream

Although we do love the fine lines around their eyes caused by smiling too much (among other things... ;)), prevention is key. Even for the guys!

-Bye bye signs of stress, fatigue and sun damage

-lightweight, oil-free

-hydrates the eye contour area

-Dramatically minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

SRP $28.00

For the golfer, you can also get the MKMen products in a Golfer's gift set

The set includes the above two products, plus a MKMen anti-aging face bar and a set of custom MKMen golf balls. Because, we all know how much your golfer loves his balls! ;)

SRP $66.00

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:

Mary Kay Limited Edition Men's Fragrance Travel Collection

The set contains 5 fragrances in the black/gold 50th anniversary packaging (one for each day of the workweek?):

-True OriginalTM Cologne Spray

-ML High IntensityTM Cologne Spray

-Velocity for Him Cologne

-Domain Cologne Spray

-Tribute for Men Spray Cologne (my guys' favorite...it's already empty). 

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. 

SRP $40.00

The MKMen line and Limited Edition Men's Fragrance Gift Set are available now through your independant Mary Kay Canada Rep or online at http://www.marykay.ca

Color Show Nail Lacquer Polka Dots Collection

For summer 2013, Maybelline released two new nail lacquer collections: Polka Dots and Holographic. These babies have just landed in store. Today's post will focus on the Polka Dots collection.

I have been a fan of the Color Show nail lacquers since day 1. I have so many shades (my favorite is without a doubt Orange Fix). So, when I spotted these at the drugstore, I just had to pick them up! A line of jelly nail polishes containing a mixture of multi-sized rounded matte black and white particles floating in a bright pigment. Yes, please! The line includes 5 shades:

Here is my favorite of the bunch on my nails (Instagram picture...which reminds me...do you all follow me on Instagram too?) - this one is called Drops of Jade #55. Can't get enough of it. My second favorite is Clearly Spotted worn over an opaque white nail polish. Such an easy way to rock the Black & White trend without going overboard!

The only negative point for me...removal! What a pain it is (see pic below)...but the prettiness of these nail polishes makes it worth all the hard work believe me!

   

Overall, I am loving these new additions to the Color Show line. They are quirky and a fun way to rock the the glitter “sandwich” look in one easy step! ;)

Have you picked up any yet? Do you have other similar nail polishes? 

The Maybelline Polka Dots nail lacquers are available at drugstores and mass retailers nation wide this month and retail for $3.99 each.
