I won a basket raffle prize last night/basket filled with Mary Kay products...no makeup, just cleansers, moisturizers, makeup remover, night serum, shower gel, hand lotion..like that. what are your fav Mary Kay products, I have a feeling I'm gonna like this line! beanie

Congratulations on your win. Personally, I used their products in the past and they did not agree with my skin. Since that time, they have started to allow testing on animals, so there's no way that I would consider any of their products.

I haven't used Mary Kay in years, but I remember liking the TimeWise moisturizer, the Satin Lips set (scrub, lip balm) and the Satin Hands Pampering Set (Scrub, softener balm to use with scrub, and a hand cream).

Whoo who! Good for you!

I love the satin hands set. Satin lips is good too.

I had a bad reaction to MK about 2yrs ago. My neighbor is a director and we swapped some Mary Kay for my Thirty-One products and it was BAD... I felt like my face was on fire... I got some bad breakouts too.

I hope it works for you, it has a cult following.

HisElk, Mary Kay does not test on animals. I have been a Mary Kay Consultant for 25 years and I love the products and I love the business. I love the business because I will always have an income no matter what happens in my life and you can work when you want.

beanie, you may want to call the consultant that did the basket and get together with her. She will help you with products based on your needs and skin tone.

The products are o.k. I just can't use them because they come loaded with pressure to join their pink cult.

I had a couple of eyeliner pencils in various shades that I really loved, but sadly they discontinued them. Every so often I order their eyebrow gel which I also like. I tried their eyelash product (their version of Latisse) and it did nothing for my lashes, but I'm using it up on my brows.

While Mary Kay is technically correct in its assertion that it does not conduct animal testing, what it really means is that it does not conduct the tests itself. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) reports that Mary Kay instead contracts out to the Chinese government to do the tests that are legally required in China.

Thank you, wowee. I should have noted that in my original post. It's a shame that this is happening and I won't support it.

About 30 years ago I purchased the 5 piece skin care collection and it was ok. I can't wear Mary Kay make up because it makes me break out.
