First, a little about me.

I'm just an ordinary girl with an un-ordinary obsession with all things girly.  Makeup, fashion and anything beauty related grab my attention.

A little over two years ago my obsession for makeup blossomed and I started paying attention to beauty blogs and makeup gurus on Youtube.  If a product was recommended, I'd buy it and not just one of "it", I would make sure I had back ups too.

Since my initial purchase of my first MAC product I have accumulated quite a collection and have myself become and independent makeup artist and beauty consultant.  I am by no means an "expert" or a "guru" but makeup application has come natural to me and I seem to have a talent for it.

I also became a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant but have discovered I have absolutely no time to dedicate to that business in addition to my regular job, my side work as a makeup artist and raising 3 children so I have a HUGE inventory of Mary Kay products I am selling at nearly my cost just so I can recoup some of my investment.

All products featured for sale will have the most complete description possible.

I have had to take pictures from the internet rather than pictures of the actual product I have because I can not find the cables to my camera (I recently moved and have yet to find everything) nor do I have the ability to upload from the memory card.  If you absolutely need to "see" the product, I can upload a very lousy picture from my cell phone however the descriptions will be as detailed as possible.

I am not affiliated with any brands mentioned with the exception of the Mary Kay products.  As stated above, I was a Beauty Consultant at one time.  All products for sale, including the Mary Kay products were purchased by me with my own hard earned dollars.

MAC - Marine Life Multi-Coulor Pressed Powder from the "To the Beach" Collection.  Limited edition, discontinued.  Not available in stores.

Quantity Available - 2

Condition:  BRAND NEW IN BOX.  NEVER OPENED

Description:  What can I say about this?  One of THE most sought after products and I HAD to get my hands on it and when I did...I went a little crazy.  I bought 3.  Realizing how greedy I was, I am putting 2 up for sale AT THE EXACT PURCHASE PRICE OF $26.00.  (They are going on E-Bay for much more)  The product itself has been "pimped" as a high-lighter.  I guess you could use it as a highlighter but on my skin (fair to medium) it works BEAUTIFULLY as a coral/peachy blush.  The pigment and staying power is A..M..A..Z..I..N..G!  It takes very little to achieve a nice peachy glow.  Please NOTE:  The goldish glitter you see on the Sea Horse goes away and is only "decoration".

Condition:  New.  Not in original box

Description:  Okay, so the reason this is new, never used but has no box is because I bought it, opened it and decided I loved it but it has sat in it's little place from that day to this without once ounce of love :(  The lavender is a smooth pretty shade with lots of sparkle.  The silver is a bit on the "chunkier" side with bigger glitter.  Wear the colors together or on their own.  Lots of possibilities with these shades.
