Ella Navarro: Review: Mary Kay® Botanicals

Here are the products:

Mary Kay® Botanical Effects™ Skin Care:

I have really sensitive skin, so it is a bit hard to find a product which can actually suites me. I experience breakouts especially if the product is to oily or to dry for my skin. So I used to stick to Oil of Olay since I have been using it for years, and it is the most inexpensive but really good product aside from Ponds w/c I cannot use (cause it's formula really irritates my skin. But! I'm not saying it is not a good product it's just that I'm not "hiyang" / compatible with their product)

Then a lady in our office introduces me this 3in1 botanical product of MaryKay. Actually I just wanted to order a concealer because that is the only concealer that fits and blends my skin type. Well, I really haven't got a chance to use MaryKay's beauty products, but the concealer is one of the best that I have used so far, I mean it has been very good to my skin. Like the results where pretty amazing, very delicate and not that heavy to my face, it also gives a dewy finish which I really like. I'm quite convince that they DO have good skin care regimens. So she ask me if I would like to try it. The product is pretty expensive that is why I was thinking twice if I would get it or not. (good thing is that I can pay it after I use it. Nice deal for me huh?) but, she reassures me that it is really worthy. SO yeah, I got it, with the concealer and the liquid foundation. (what?! foundation? impulsive buyer eh?) Okay let me explain, I got the liquid foundation because I was choosing between a bb cream worth 700+ for cash or that foundation which I can actually pay for installment. And since I am trying to be very strict when it comes to saving money I choose the one with the installment. **teehee :3
