My New Venture - Mary Kay

This will be my 3rd skincare review but it is a special blog. As I have already signed up to be one of the Independant Beauty Consultants for Mary Kay Incorp. Hurray..join the forces!! I am very excited into my new venture. Tried out the products about a month back and am still using. If you have been following my blogs, you already know my skin condition so I will not go into it again.

Moving on, so far I love the products alot. Besides, working wonder on my skin, it feels so nice just using them. For sharing purposes:- (DAY) 3-in-1 botanical cleanser, botanical freshen, time wise replenish, time wise Vitamin C serum, oil-free moisturizing gel, botanical hydrate (moisturizer), time wise sunblock, oil mattefying, time wise foundation. (NIGHT) 3-in-1 botanical cleanser, freshen, replenish, Vitamin C serum, oil-free moisturizing gel, time wise night solution, hydrate.

Botanical series are for younger skin or sensitive skin. Time Wise series are anti-aging. Remark:- with proper design package to cater different needs, sometimes even sensitive skin can use Time Wise range. Best example - myself.

For pampering:- Botanical series have Mask 1 - dry skin, Mask 2 - combination & Mask 3 - oily. My skin is combination with dehydrate cheeks and a few pimples breakout on chin area. So, i apply Mask 3 on pimples only by dotting them thickly then spread Mask 2 on T-zone and finally Mask 1 on cheeks. Leave it on for 15 mins. Wet fingers and rub on the mask against skin before washing off. Skin instantly hydrates and clean. After that, will apply skincare night regime but will mix pea size moisturizing cream (contains gold pigment) with oil-free moisturizing gel and slightly more hydrate than usual - soak empty sheetmask with botanical freshen 1 ( for dry skin, so the hydration level is highest than 2 & 3) - spread over face and spray 1 time of freshen 1 all over and leave it for 10- 15 mins. Intermittently, spray filter water or boil water over the sheet to keep it moist right up till the time is up.

For eyes:- Uses Time Wise roller on, with citrus smells and on top of it will dab soothing eye gel.

For lips:- Invested on Lip set. Come with lip mask and lip balm. Apply lip mask on lips and leave it for 1-2 mins. Wet fingers and rub before rinsing. Apply lip balm after. Lips stay moist throughout the day and even longer. Reduces lines and improves dry lips.

The products just absorb easily without greasiness or oiliness on the surface, at the same time really hydrates skin from inner to outer. For pimples, will not inflame or flare which mean less redness and obvious. Invested on pore serum but have not tried yet, perhaps tonight :) Was advised by my teacher to use it when I do mask. Will unclog pores with impurities coming out easily. DO NOT EVER SQUEEZE the impurities but use lip mask to rub on it after rinsing the mask away. The impurities will just come off.

Outcome of using these products:- skin is silky smooth. Pimples recovering, by using Vitamin C serum, speeds up scar recovery.

Best part of it is it is an independent career path for full or part time. Very flexi hours so is best suited for me as now I have to cater for my son's schooling needs and after school's needs. With halfday school time, I am off to office for my main job. I have time during noon when my son is napping which leaves me free for a few hours. Plus,  I can learn beauty tips for my usage and also share the beauty tips with other women. Something of my interest, that is why I give it a go. I already received my starter bag yesterday to begin my career with Mary Kay Incorp.

OMG! My baby boy is now entering Pre-school phase :)

Yup! My baby Yu Kai is now going to school. I send him to Cherie Hearts of Singapore origin management company. It is also located nearby my house. Kai is now 23 months old. He started school on 1st Nov. First 3 days were disastrous. He cried non stop and went hysterically out of control. 2nd and 3rd days were even worst because he remembered the route to his school. So, imagine my nightmare began from the ride from home all the way to school :)

Lucky for me..my son 180 degrees changed on his 4th day to school. He knew he was on his way to school. He sat very quietly on his car seat until he reached school. During the journey, I kept giving him prep talk. Soothing talk..whatever..just to prevent him erupting..haha..He only cried abit when reached but no longer hysterical. Needless to say, 5th day was a smooth sailing day. He did not fuss at all. He carried his own bag and he walked into school himself. I am so proud of my beloved baby boy. On this day, on my way to office, tears well up in my eyes. Why?! Because the memory of him so obedient, I was so touched. That was my 1st reason. 2nd, he swung away my hand when he saw his teacher approaching. He was so anxious that he ran up to the door trying to unlock. 3rd, he only waved goodbye to mummy on his teacher's instruction..haha..When he waved, he was abit going to burst into crying so I thought I quickly soothe him by saying "its ok, mummy will come fetch you very soon..see you later"..Alas, I did not even finish that sentence, he already turned and ran into his school hand in hand with his teacher name, Teacher Annie :) Teacher Annie gave him a sayang kiss on his 4th day to reward him for not crying :)

Well I hope sending school now will be at ease. Importantly, I hope Kai enjoys his school and learns more things from there and last but not least, socialize and mingle well with the children and teachers there.
