Mary Kay 'True Dimensions' Lipstick

I have to say, about 5 years ago you would not have seen me using Mary Kay products. Mainly because back then their products weren't so great and yet over priced! However in the last 3 years I have seen an improvement in their makeup not so much their skin care. 

This is the 'True Dimensions' Lipstick in shade 'Mystic Plum'. 

What I love:

Long Lasting (worn for 9 hours)

A little goes a long way

The packaging is pretty and can double up as a little mirror

Its so moisturising, so it wont dry up your lips

What I hate:

The buying process, its not stocked in any shops so you have to find a Mary Kay consultant in your area to purchase from. Lucky for me my aunt in my consultant but I can see it can be annoying for some.

FOTD: Indigo Bay

This was my look of the day. I wasn't sure what to do with my face then I saw this Mary Kay lipstick that I hadn't worn in a while and thought I should do something purple, I've been liking purple lately actually, I don't always wear colour, my makeup is usually one big ol palette of neutral colours.

The products I used where:

Mary Kay (bronze 5 + bronze 8)
Coastal Scents Concealer Palette
The Body Shop Super Volume Mascara
No7 Va Va Voom Eyeshadow Palette (Limited Edition)
Sleek Contour Kit (Dark)
Jouer Highlighter ( shall be reviewing this soon)
Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick (Mystic Plum)
Mary Kay Lip Liner (Plum)
Mary Kay Translucent Powder
Rimmel Blush (Pink Rose 20)
Revlon Eyebrow Pencil  (Brown)
