Mary Kah - Say Cheese and Smile!!!

We were invited to a Mary Kah's event recently and was introduced a their new range of interesting products.
To be honest, like you, I wasn't too familiar with their products as I don't see it readily available at most drugstore. It was only after the event that I realised their products are exclusively distributed through their sales consultants via direct selling for customized products for each indivdual's skin type.

Some Quick Facts: Company founder, Mary Kah and her vision:
I envisioned a company in which any woman could become just as successful as she wanted to be. The doors would be wide open to opportunity for women who were willing to pay the price and had the courage to dream.”
So in 1963, with her past experience, her plan and $5,000 in savings, Mary Kay Ash enlisted the help of her 20-year-old son, Richard, and created Beauty by Mary Kay. It was a first – a company dedicated to making life more beautiful for women. It was founded not on the competitive rule but on the Golden Rule – on praising people to success – and on the principle of placing faith first, family second and career third. It was a company, as Mary Kay Ash often said, “with heart.”

I like the fact that they have a suite of customized products to fit different skin types and its' needs.

Among all I love their make up platette the best, it is unfilled and magnetic. You can fill it up with your favourite blusher and eyeshadow.

 

After the event, we were given very generous goodie bags filled with customized products depending on our skin type. Oh yesh, sad to say I belong to the Oily Skin Type -_- though I prefer the normal Skin Type Water Lily Scent. But well, I know my skin best and how to make it Smile again Shine-Free is to use Formula 3 for Oily Skin =)

I cannot wait to try their products once I am done with my cleanser and mask :)
