My Pleasant Nightmare: Mary Kay Review and Giveaway

I am super excited! I was given the chance to work with an Independent Mary Kay Consultant. Her name is Kristina Reed. She is one of my fabulous blog sponsors and she was kind enough to send me the oh so popular Satin Hands Set. The set includes a hand softener, a hand scrub, and the satin hands lotion. I was sent the set that was scented with a wonderful peach aroma. It even came in a super cute Mary Kay travel bad. The whole set (pictured below) retails at $34. In my honest opinion, $34 is a STEAL!!! This stuff has been my bff during my travels this summer!

Kristina is so kind and friendly. She has been super easy to work with and she is very knowledgeable about the products she sells. I didn't have to ask her any questions about this product because, along with sending me the product, she also sent me a detailed description of how to use it in a way to get the maximum benefits out of this amazing set. So I got down to business and followed the instructions.

Here is my Before Hand

You can see the dried skin, and the icky lines.

First, I put a little hand softener on my hands.

Then, after it was rubbed in really well I moved on to Step 2. I used the hand scrub. This helped to massage in the hand softener and remove the greasy film it leaves on the surface.

I dried my hands off, but not TOO much because the next step is to apply the Satin Hands Lotion. Having a little moisture on your hands will help the lotion absorb better, leaving your hands more hydrated and soft.

And when all was said and done, my hands felt like someone had poured a bucket of youth over them!!

TADAAAAA!!!

I also have one last awesome thing to share with you! When I went to color my hair there were no gloves in the box. So, I just used my hands with a small sandwich baggy on each hand to kind of keep them clean, because, well, because I NEEDED THE GRAY GONE ASAP!! There was no time to spare. I was sending out bat signals with the gray lights glistening from my head. Oh and when I say bat signals, I actually mean OLD bat signals. teehee Has anyone ever used their bare hands to put red in their hair?? Stupid, stupid plan! My hands came out like this:::

I started to FREAK! Red stained hands are NOT the look I was going for! So I pondered what to do and I remembered I had received the hand scrub. I tried a little bit on my very red hands. OH EM GEEEEEE!!
It made my hands almost like knew in just a couple of minutes scrubbing!!

You can only see a tiny bit of the red. It was hardly noticeable.

I can't rave enough about this product! Kristina and I know you will love it too! SOOOOO, let's do a giveaway!! This is your chance to win the same set I did the review on. How? Just enter in the rafflecopter below!
