So  there you go, some new, limited edition items from Mary Kay to brighten up your summer. Overall I am really impressed with everything. I really adore the liquid lipsticks formula (and am activly wishing they add them to the MK permanent line up, and with more shades), the cream lip and check blushes are blendable and very pretty. Lip balms are smooth and silky while being very hydrating. The brush and brush cleaning pads are both of excellent quality and work really well while giving money to a worthy cause. I actually cannot think of a recent launch that I liked every item of this much. So, bravo Mary Kay.
You can find the Mary Kay Summer 2023 Collection at www.marykay.ca or through your Mary Kay representative.

Adorn lips in gem-like pigment, and dial up your sparkle. Light up your lips in nongritty, glimmery color that feels as good as it looks. Ultrareflective, high-shine pearls create shimmering dimension, while moisturizing ingredients enrich the super-smooth formula. Amplify the natural beauty of your lips with the help of a little jewel-inspired glamour.

These may be some of the prettiest lipsticks I have ever seen. I have had ones that have been dipped in shimmer before, but these are actually sparkly in the inside too. Mary Kay has a fantastic lipstick formula to start with so these are extremely nice. They look so pretty I actually didn't want to touch them. The formula is smooth and feels nice and soft on the lips. I was actually really shocked because I expected a gritty texture, but nothing but smoothness. 

Achieve eye makeup euphoria! See ethereal effects in the jewel-inspired shades of this liquid eye shadow. There’s never been a better time to creatively experiment with new textures, and this lightweight, gel-based formula is the perfect way to add some prismatic shine to your everyday look. Smoothly glide on nongritty, metallic-pearl pigment for a look as dazzling as it is dimensional.

Liquid eyeshadows are always a favourite of mine, they're easy to apply, creamy, blendable and last a long time. These new ones from Mary Kay are super metallic. 

I found a little goes a long way with them. I found that if I applied a little and blended it out I was left with a gorgeous shimmery eye without too much coloured applied (more of a coloured shimmer). I was able to layer it up and apply it thicker for a more opaque look, but I honestly think a nice shadow base with it on top would be a better option.

Amethysts is pale lavender, while Graphite is a silver-grey tone. Both are amazing for staying power and just generally looking stunning.

Let your hands in on the high-shine fun with a metallic-shimmer nail polish that comes in two brilliant shades. The nongritty formula full of rich color pigments will make creating a multifaceted manicure masterpiece the highlight of your day. Wear the jewel-inspired shades alone or as a dazzling duo in a manicure that’s sure to boost your mood.

I adore Mary Kay nail polishes, it is a shame they don't have them in their permanent line and only offer them a few times a year. That being said there is always a bit of excitement knowing that you never know when one will launch or what it will contain. In this case it is two gorgeous Metallic Shimmers that do not disappoint. 

Emerald is a light minty metallic green-blue that has a sage or mint like quality to it. I cannot get over how absolutely stunning it is not just in the bottle but on my nails.

Rose Quartz reminds me of the stone it takes its name from. It is shimmery and light pink. The shimmer gives it a bit of a silver quality, really adding to the metallic finish of it. I have been wearing this on my toes and just can't stop staring at them.

Highlighter $18.00 Canary Diamond | Rose Sapphire 

Dress yourself in absolutely radiant jewel-toned splendor. Catch the light in every day with this smooth, silky, light-reflecting powder that’s all glamour and no grit. Luminescent pearl shimmer captures just the right amount of sparkle, leaving your highlights beaming in brilliance.

Highly shimmery, these highlighters are sold on their own and can be used in Mary Kay's Perfect Palette (shown in my photos) or Pro Palette (both sold separately). 
Canary Diamond is a light gold, while Rose Sapphire is a light soft pink. Both have quite the shimmer to them. The formula is super fine, which makes it smooth and blendable. I found the palettes quite soft so if you use a heavy hand when rubbing it with a brush you will see denting in the pattern quite quickly, so use a light hand if you can. 
Now I just used my fingers to create the swatches, showing how actually pigmented and smooth the highlighters are, but they easily blend out into a very sheer, but extremely shimmery highlight.
