Mary Kay Hollywood Mystique Collection & Sweepstakes

Mary Kay’s Fall 2012 trend is all about Hollywood Mystique- iconic glamour meets femme fatale fashion! The trend is focused around a few overall themes; menswear with a feminine touch, flawless skin, bold red lips and polished, perfected brows.

With four looks, I’m sure you’ll find a lookthat works for you.  Be sure to keep reading to see how you can enter the Mary Kay Hollywood Dreams MakeoverContest, which includes a trip to Los Angeles, a professional makeover, personal stylist consultation and wardrobe.

…now that really is a dream!

Mary Kay® Creme Lipsticks

Starting off with the Mary Kay® Creme Lipsticks ($15 ARV), the three shades featured are Red (a cherry red), Really Red (a bright orange red) and Black Cherry (a deep purple red).  The formula is creamy, pigmented and has a satin finish for a hint of sheen.

Mary Kay® Nourishine Plus® Lipglosses

Two shades of the Mary Kay® Nourishine Plus® Lipglosses ($15 ARV ) are featured in this collection; Red Passion (a deep red with gold flecks of shimmer) and Rock ‘n Red (a bright cherry red cream).  These glosses are super pigmented and smell like vanilla frosting, yum!

Mary Kay® Compact Mini

Mary Kay® Compact

The customizable palettes are seriously the coolest- who doesn’t love being able to choose the exact shades they want in a compact!?  I have one Mary Kay® Compact Mini ($16 ARV, fits two blushes or six eyeshadows or a combination) and one Mary Kay® Compact ($18 ARV, which holds the same amount of product plus a lipgloss, but in a more sleek design with the applicators on the side).  There is also a Mary Kay® Compact Pro® ($35 ARV), which holds three times the amount of the regular ones!

The individual pans are held by magnets inside the compact so you can change them around whenever you want.  My Mini compact contains the Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color ($10 ARV) in Cherry Blossom and the Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Colors ($6.50 ARV) in Hazelnut, Lavender Fog and Espresso.  My regular compact contains the Mary Kay® Nourishine Plus® Lip Gloss ($15 ARV) in Pink Luster, Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color in Sky Blush and Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Colors in Honey Spice, Spun Silk and Chocolate Kiss.  I also received the Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color in Sparkling Cider to swap out in one of my palettes!

Two mascaras are featured in the collection (both in Black), the Mary Kay® Ultimate Mascara™ ($15 ARV), a fluffy bristle mascara that volumizes and lengthens, and the Mary Kay® Lash Love Mascara ($15 ARV), a plastic-bristled wand that really defines lashes.  There is also a twist-up Mary Kay® Eyeliner ($12 ARV) in Black- a waterproof, long-wearing creamy pencil liner.

Mary Kay® Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

To apply it all, the Mary Kay® Brush Collection ($48 ARV) includes five key brushes for full-face application, and the carrying pouch has tons of room for more brushes, makeup and tools.  To take it all off at night, the Mary Kay® Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover ($15 ARV) is a dual-phase cleanser that removes stubborn eye makeup with ease!

I created a Hollywood glam look focusing on bold red lips paired with simple, defined eye makeup using some of the products from this collection!  Check out the tutorial below to see how I did it!
