Mary Kay's New Limited Edition - Fairytales & Fantasies Collection

Hey ya'll!

It's limited edition time with Mary Kay!  I love limited editions and this one is super fun!  Fairytales & Fantasies!  First off, I love the name of the collection.  Makes me think of Disney Princess's.  Yea, I love me some Disney.  Enough of the name though, let's get to the actual collection.


I'll start with the Smoke & Shimmer Eye Wands.  Although I love the smoothness of these, I'm on the fence about them.  Pretty colors, but very sheer.  But they are great for layering under eyeshadows.  Really makes that eyeshadow pop.

Colors from top to bottom:
Amethyst Smoke
Golden Illusion
Enchanted Mauve

The Amethyst Smoke is gorgeous!  This is my favorite out of the 3.  It's just like it describes.  Smoke.  It transfers with a grey undertone to it giving it that smoke look.

The Golden Illusion would be my next favorite out of the 3.  It's a little hard to see in the photo, but it's a very subtle gold color with just the right amount of shimmer.  Great for an inner corner highlight or even to bring out your eyes by lining your bottom lash line.  

The Enchanted Mauve is more of a coral color.  Not sure where mauve fits in on this one, but still a pretty color.  Perfect for a lid color layered with a pretty coral eyeshadow.



Next we'll look at the Kohl Eyeliners.  I think these are my favorite in the entire collection.  They slide on crazy smooth and do not smudge a bit.  Exactly what I like in an eyeliner.

Colors from top to bottom:
Golden Illusion
Mulberry Forest

Yes, there is a trend here.  They named some of the products the same.  Not a problem with me though.  The Golden Illusion is beautiful!  I wore this in my lower waterline.  Really made my blue eyes pop.  Just like the eye wand, this can also be lined on the lower lash line to add brightness.  The Mulberry Forest is also a beautiful color.  Especially for Fall.  Who's excited for Fall??!!  Woop Woop!!  (Sorry.  I'm clearly excited for Fall.  LOL!)  This would be a fun pop of color on the lower lash line too.  As well as upper.  

  
Moving right along with the Glossy Lip Stains.  Love these!!  With one exception though.  I'm not crazy about the wand, but I can get pass that.  These are definitely a stain.

colors from top to bottom:
Mulberry Forest
Enchanted Mauve

These colors are better described by their names, as you can see in the photo above.  I haven't yet experimented with the Mulberry Forest, but the Enchanted Mauve is fabulous.  It did stain more of a pink color, but it stayed on till I took it off.  I did loose some of the gloss, but the color stayed on.  Now, again not sure about the Mulberry Forest, but the Enchanted Mauve did bleed a little.  So to fix this, I primed my lips the TimeWise Age-Fighting Lip Primer and then lined my lips with Mary Kay Lip Liner in Clear.  Problem solved.  

colors from top to bottom:
I <3 Green
I <3 Plum

And last but certainly not least, is the Lash Love Mascaras.  LOVE these!!  So much fun!  I've been wearing these on my lower lashes lately.  Such a fun pop of color.  And if you already love Mary Kay's Lash Love mascara, you are going to really enjoy these.

So that's it.  Isn't this a beautiful collection.  I thought so.  But if I had to choose, these would be my picks:
The Amethyst Smoke and Golden Illusion Eye Wands
The Golden Illusion Kohl Eyeliner
The Enchanted Mauve Glossy Lip Stain
The I <3 Plum Lash Love Mascara

I hope ya'll enjoyed this post and it gives you a better idea of Mary Kay's New Limited Edition  line.  If you don't already have a Mary Kay consultant, you can pick up any of these items on my personal website www.marykay.com/adupepe and have them shipped directly to you.  You can also check out my video below showing you the products.  Sorry about the lighting though.  My camera is 7 yrs old :/

Aimee
