This summer I tried several Mary Kay skin care products.
To be honest, I was skeptical and had more confidence in decorative cosmetics stamps. However, the tools from the Timewise series managed to pleasantly surprise me.
Today I will tell you about four products from the "Miracle Kit" for normal to dry skin, which includes a cleanser (3 in 1 Cleanser), an age-fighting moisturizer, light cream"Day solution" (Day Solution), gel "Night solution" (Night Solution).
I'll start with the first in the order of use and the most unsuccessful kit tool - a 3 in 1 cleaning agent. On the site they write that the product is foaming. This is not true. 3 in 1 Cleanser is like a cleansing cream / milk with the inclusion of soluble granules (show in the photo). The triple action is cleansing, exfoliation, refreshing. Well, that is, the action is one)) I have not tried to remove this product, as recommended, using a wet cloth napkin- I just washed it off with water (this is also possible according to the instructions) and I did not feel any special cleansing, let alone refreshing and exfoliation. On the contrary, the product leaves a film of mineral oil on the skin. Not intended for make-up removal and use in the area around the eyes. In general, a few uses were enough for me))
The further is the better. Day moisturizer Age-Fighting Moisturizer. Good (in terms of hydration), pleasant (after application), no fragrance. The product has an important plus - it is a volume of 80 ml. True, the texture is quite liquid (probably a lot of water in the composition). I use it all over my face, neck, and I don’t mind my hands.
An interesting thing is the gel with multi-colored Night Solution microspheres. Contains peptides and plant extracts and is designed to provide additional hydration to the skin. Leaves no stickiness after application. I like to use it not only under the cream at night, but also as a base for makeup. In the July heat, I generally managed only with this moisturizer - very light without even minimal fat content.
But, of course, one love is Day Solution - a day fluid with SPF 30 (UVA + UVB). An excellent tool! Lightweight, non-streaking, non-whitening, non-sticky and greasy and with a high protection factor. And it takes care of the skin, it feels like a good moisturizer, it is also good under makeup. I really recommend it. From what I had this summer (Clarins, Pola) - the best. It is worth noting that the filters in this product are chemical.

texts Party of one
by Brandi carlile
Waiter send this to the table, the party of one
The only other lonely soul in this place
And so you "re finishing up your coffee
But then where you "re gonna run?
Where "d you get that look on your face?
You should always let the sun go down on your anger
Let it burn you to sleep
Bring it closer to danger
To surrender and retreat
Sing your sad soul to sleep
And you know I love you still
But I am tired
And I am yours
Don "t even think about your freedom
Or taking that flight
Or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right
Because your eggshells and your "I" statements and your weaponized words
Are paper tigers now
Oh your constant overthinking and your secretive drinking
Are making you more and more alone
And girl, you can slam the door behind you
It ain "t ever gonna close
Because when you "re home, you" re already home
I am tired
I am tired
I don "t wanna go home anymore
I don "t wanna throw stones anymore
I don "t wanna take part in the war
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I don "t wanna be right anymore
Lord, I don "t wanna fight anymore
I "m not taking your side anymore
I am tired
I am not my own
And I am leaving
Oh, I am tired
And I "m coming home
"Cause I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours
