Everyday Boho Beauty with Mary Kay® + a Giveaway

I had the opportunity recently to try some of Mary Kay® beauty products. I don't know if I have been living under a rock but I had no idea that Mary Kay® did more than just skincare. I was really excited to get my hands on some product and try one of the three country music-inspired looks put together by celebrity makeup artist, Moani Lee, in celebration of Mary Kay® as the Official Beauty Sponsor of the 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. I chose to go with the Boho Beauty look because I felt it lent itself the most to my everyday style. I love a good bronzed-out, gold look, and that is exactly what this theme offered. Here is what Moani had to say about the inspiration of this boho look: "This look was inspired by the flower child style of the 70s with a modern twist in the form of a glossy berry lip and an allover bronzy glow. It’s the perfect look for a day of music and memories with a group of girlfriends at a festival."
I took the beautiful gold cream eye color in "Apricot Twist" and decided to outline my whole eye with it. I love how it turned out and it really upped the bronzed factor of the overall look. I also love how Lee suggested the berry lip with this look. It is something I would have not typically paired with the bronzed-out feel but it really did make it more of a modern day nod to the 70's instead of being super literal. I loved it together! I think the standout product in the bunch was by far the Mary Kay® Lash Love Mascara in I ♥ Black. It is pretty hard to impress me with a mascara and this one was a big win for me! I love the formula because it is thick enough to give you volume, while the wand is super pointy and separated, which lengthens the lashes. It is so hard to find a mascara that does both and this one just might have found a permanent spot in my makeup drawer.

You can get a step-by-step guide to create this look yourself here, and you can also check out the other two looks - Queen of Country and All-American Girl - featuring Mary Kay® beauty products! The products I used for this Boho Beauty look provided by Mary Kay® included: Jet Black Eyeliner
