Ok look... i spend 13+hrs out of the house, 5/6 days a week. And doing my makeup in the car is all fine and dandy, but sometimes (more often than not, lately) i just wanna say "who tf cares?!" And do nothing with this mugg of mine. I do love keeping it simple aka lazy at times, and just doing foundation, blush, mascara and lipstick/lipgloss.. but then again, sometimes i don't want to wear foundation. So i started wearing a bb cream.. and that was grand... but then baseball season started and although i got the darkest color available (i know, i know, a fancy red bone like me? Darkest?) I had gotten tanned enough to look crazy in my bb cream. Welp, too bad nobody makes a bb or cc cream in my color... ooh! And with an spf, since i'm out in the sun for baseball practices and games...
Oh wait...
Mary Kay does!!!
Mary Kay CC cream with spf 15! It's pret-ty amazing. Now, just a heads up, if you're darker than me... the struggle continues, because the darkest shade (Deep) is an EXACT match on my skin.. like... the PERFECT match. Great news for me and ppl with my skintone and lighter.. not so great news for darkertoned dazzlers. But don't worry, i'm sure this is only the beginning... well, pretty sure.
Inside Tip: if you're looking for the same effect, mix your shade of MK foundation with the MK broad spectrum spf face primer.
Back to the magic. I normally don't like most spf products on my face because they feel heavy. But MK is known for their light-weight spf products, plus the color looked spot on so i had to try it. Needless to say, at this point in my rambling, that i am very happy with this product! It goes on and rubs in easily, and once it sets, (which takes like.. a minute, tops) it is WEIGHTLESS. I don't feel like i'm wearing anything at all! Not only does it even out my complexion, it protects from sun damage (the leading cause of premature aging) AND it gives my face this... glow... my skin just looks radiant. . And i love that!
Now, these photos are taken with no flash and natural sunlight. (Gotta love having a sunroof). The left is me with no makeup at all. The second is me with the Mary Kay CC cream on. Not super heavy, as you can see. My skin is just more even and, can you see the glowy-ness? The right photo is after adding a little MK Mineral Cheek Color in both Golden Copper and Cherry Blossom, some Ultimate Mascara and a light layer of MK Cream Lipstick in Merlot that's been blotted... and that's it! A good, glowy look that shows that i did put some effort into my face, without having to bust out a thousand products! WINNING!!!
Anyhoo, just wanted to share this gem of a product with you.
