Mary Kay Makes Yahoo! Top Ten for 2011

Mary Kay's Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover made it on the Yahoo! Top Ten Best Selling Products of 2011!!  


Here is what they had to say:
"The gentle eye makeup remover works on waterproof mascara, and no one loses any lashes in the process. The $15 Mary Kay product also won a 2011 Allure magazine award, which certainly must have boosted sales. Reviewers say that it "removes the toughest eyeliner and mascara" with a single cotton-ball swipe, conditions lashes, and doesn't irritate sensitive eyes."*

It is no wonder that this is one of Mary Kay's top selling products.  

The dual phase, oil-free formula gently removes all types of eye makeup. The top phase removes waterproof eye makeup and the bottom phase removes non-waterproof eye makeup.

Because the two phases work together, you should shake the bottle well for the product to be effective.

All Researchers Tell Us: The skin around the eyes has fewer sebaceous glands and less collagen and elastin than skin elsewhere on the face. And, as people age, the fat pad beneath the dermis diminishes, causing the skin to appear even thinner and the hollowed-out appearance under the eyes. These unique characteristics of eye-area skin require a little extra attention.

Here’s what women said after using TimeWise Body™ Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen SPF 15. 

• After 2 weeks:
  • 80% said it softens the appearance of crepiness
• After 4 weeks:
  • 80% said skin appears firmer
  • 78% said it helped reduce the appearance of fine lines
• After 8 weeks:
• 85% said skin felt tighter
• 80% said it visibly reduced the appearance of wrinkles
• 60% said it helped reduce the appearance of dark spots

The skin on the back of the hands is relatively thin and fragile, just like the skin around the eyes. And the décolleté area, like your hands, gets a lot of sun exposure. Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen SPF 15 was formulated with several effective ingredients that combined together deliver the most dramatic benefits to these two vulnerable areas.

Dermatologists often call the hand and décolleté areas “giveaways” because they can so readily give away your age. It’s never too late to give the skin in these areas the special attention and protection it needs for a healthy, younger look.

TimeWise Body™ Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen SPF 15 combines several effective ingredients – including the superfruits acai berry and pomegranate – to deliver this impressive list of benefits:

• Minimizes the appearance of crepiness and helps skin look firmer.The formula includes ChroNOline™ caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 that has been shown to provide optimal skin support by boosting collagen and elastin.
• Hydrates and supports the skin barrier, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our proprietary, patent-pending acai berry extract plus vitamin E helps protect skin by neutralizing harmful free radicals. Pomegranate sterol helps fortify the skin barrier and acts as a humectant to pull moisture into the skin. Shea butter and glycerin provide skin conditioning benefits.
• Helps reduce the appearance of dark spots. The formula contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and ChroNOline™ caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 which have been shown to have an impact on the process that causes pigmentation to occur.
• Protects against UV damage. Sunscreen ingredients provide UVA/UVB broad spectrum defense.

• Suitable for Sensitive Skin
• Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy
• Fragrance-free
• Oil-free
• Non-comedogenic
• Dermatologist-tested

Instant Results

Fight fine lines, refine pores and achieve beautifully smooth skin – immediately – with this simple, two-step set.

Step 1: Refine is an advanced exfoliator using the same professional grade exfoliating crystals used by dermatologists, to immediately energize skin and reveal more radiant, healthy-looking skin.

Application: After cleansing, apply a quarter-sized amount of Step 1: Refine to wet face with fingertips. Using circular motions, gently massage face with fingertips for 1-2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Follow with Step 2: Replenish.

Step 2: Replenish separates the set from the competition. It's a rich serum, containing vitamins, antioxidants and anti-irritants. This serum nourishes the soft, smooth skin revealed by Step 1: Refine.

40% off TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex

Order Mary Kay TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex between Monday September 19th and Sunday September 25th and receive 40% off!  You will receive this incredible product worth $40 for only $24!  Email me or visit my website to order. Please choose Oily/Combination or Normal/Dry and quote "Restore & Recover Special" in your comments when you order.

Nighttime is the right time for the skin to awaken its age-fighting potential.  This powerhouse product is formulated to optimize skin's ability to recover at night by activating collagen production, restoring the skin barrier and helping to replenish precious antioxidant reserves.  


FACT: During the night, exposure to stress is significantly reduced, making it the right time for skin to focus on restoring itself.  


How it works:
TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex contains five key ingredients that give your skin what it needs when it needs it the most.

• It activates collagen production:  TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex is formulated with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, an ingredient known to be critical in activating collagen production and in controlling the activity of damage signals in the skin.
• It targets the skin matrix: The skin dermal matrix, whose primary component is collagen, is the mesh-ike framework that holds the skin together.  The weaker the dermal matrix, the older a person is likely to look.  Since palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 is an ingredient known to be critical in the production of collagen, it's an important ingredient in skin care products that are formulated to fight the visible signs of aging.
• It restores in the skin barrier: A healthy barrier, critical to skin health, is predominantly made up of lipids, whose function can be supported by certain ingredients.  Lipid-rich pomegranate sterol can potentially help strengthen and stabilize the skin barrier.  Cell turnover also is a critical element of skin health, since older skin cells can block fresher, younger cells from rising to the surface.  Chestnut Seed Extract has been shown to help promote cell turnover.
• It helps skin recover from daily damage.  Every day, skin is exposed to free radicals caused by UV exposure, causing lasting damage that can build momentum if left unchecked.  Cotton Seed Extract is known to boost skin recovery and reduce the effects of daily damage.  Palmitoyl terapeptide-7 is known to quiet the messaging signals so less damage gets through to cells in the first place.  And Acai Berry Extract helps replenish antioxidants lost during the day.  Unless those reserves are replenished at night, the cumulative effect adds up until signs of aging become visible.

Beauty at Any Age!

 Everything you do today - or don't do - affects how you'll look tomorrow.  No matter your age, there are skin care steps you should consider to help keep your skin looking its very best.

Environmental factors will contribute to many of the
changes you'll see in your skin as you get older.  So make
sure your skin care routine includes sun protection.

Cellular turnover slows down a bit and skin starts to dull.
Beauty tip: Exfoliation two or three times per week
can restore your skin's glow.

If you've lived a life full of laughter and love,
keep smiling.  The right moisturizer and eye cream
can help fight those expression lines.

As the skin ages, it loses moisture.  Hydrate your skin
with an intense moisturizer before bed, and you'll look
gorgeous now and forever.

Mary Kay TimeWise Firming Eye Cream

Medical researchers tell us - The skin around the eyes has fewer sebaceous glands and less collagen and elastin than skin anywhere else on the face.  And, as people age, the fat pad beneath the dermis diminishes, causing the skin to appear even thinner and the hollowed-out appearance under the eyes.  These unique characteristics of eye-area skin require a little extra attention.

• A luxuriously rich eye cream so advanced it promotes firmness, brightens, provides intense moisturization, plus minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• The combined power of a collagen-enhancing peptide duo works to build/restore the supporting structure to revitalize cells for firmer skin
• Soothing botanical extracts and brightening agents are employed to condition and prepare the skin for moisturization resulting in a more even skin tone

FACT: The skin around the eyes is the thinnest, most-delicate skin on the face

TimeWise Firming Eye Cream is listed as one of the top ten firming eye creams by FirmingEye.com
