And not just any box of makeup – it was filled with hand-selected makeup to create three different country-inspired looks: All American Girl, Queen of Country and Boho Chic. Basically, this mama was like a kid in a candy store!
When it comes down to it, I have been rocking the same boring makeup routine since high school. Having a makeup artist pick out new makeup for me was SUCH a treat. I have always been terrible at picking out makeup for myself. It’s true. While I can get lost picking out fabrics and paints all day long, picking out makeup has not been my strong suit. And then once I actually do pick it out, I’m all, “How do I put this on without looking like a clown?!?!”
Recently, I shared that one of the biggest adjustments of being a stay at home mom was the whole feeling put together issue. You see, I had the work wardrobe down and it was easy for me to get dressed every morning, put make up on… and you know, not feel like a slug. The struggle is real y’all!
As a new stay at home mom, I am determined to keep myself up – wear that closet full of clothes, style my hair, and wear makeup.
Today I am back with another post on my “stay-at-home-but-try-to-do-something-with-yourself” style inspiration. Last week I got some happy mail: a box chock-full-of new Mary Kay® makeup.

Staying home has changed everything. Everything for the better, except all of those work clothes hanging in my closet. Getting dressed to take care of little ones is a challenge. Putting on makeup? Definitely not high on the priority list. After all, I don’t think my threenager cares if I have mascara on.
As a new stay at home mom, I am determined to keep myself up – wear that closet full of clothes, style my hair, and wear makeup.
So it was fun to put together an outfit and makeup look using the All-American Girl makeup they sent. Honestly, I let myself off easy though because this really is the closest to my every day look. I am looking forward to trying out the Queen of Country and Boho Beauty looks too!
For my outfit, I decided to rock the camo pants that I have been threatening about. Paired with a striped sweater and polka dot denim shirt and pink jewelry to make it feel feminine. All-American for sure!

You look great. I used to wear Mary Kay years ago, but now I seldom wear any makeup at all. I need someone to direct me! I like the descriptions of how to get each look. I think my favorite is the Boho look. Thanks for the chance to win.
I like the Boho Beauty look

Yay so excited about this hope I win!!
I like the sun-kissed Boho look. I will have to check into the Mary Kay make up. I love that lipstick on the model. I'm all about the natural look. The Bohemian layers of jewelry and layers of ruffles, fringes and different fabrics is right up my alley. I'm really a gypsy at heart!
Boho beauty. Btw… Your wavy hair is gorgeous!!
I love the American Girl look. My coloring is similar to yours. And that look features some of my favorite colors. Mary Kay rocks!!!!

I always put on makeup–well, almost always–but that's just to avoid scaring the world!! I love Mary Kay–thanks for the giveaway!
I like the natural All-American girl look. The Boho is nice but my skin never looks sun-kissed.

I would pick the Queen of Country because I like a deeper eyeshadow and a more "darker" look!
thanks!

I the like all the looks but especially like the Queen of Country. Also, could you please tell me the shade of blush shown in the above picture with the mascara & lip gloss? I really like that one.
I agree that the Queen of Country is just gorgeous!
