Mary Kay Botanical Effects Skin Care (Review)

May 12, 2014 by Juliann

I grew up using Mary Kay and have recently been re-introduced to this amazing skin care company that I had almost forgotten about. I am so thankful to have rediscovered it because there is a lot of wonderful new products that I have been missing out on. One of these is the Botanical Effects Skin Care line.

To achieve natural, radiant skin, it is important to stay true to a skin care routine. This is made easy by using Mary Kay’s Botanical Effects™ product line. This simple, four-step skincare regimen can be personalized to every skin type with the three formulas for Dry, Normal and Oily skin. For my own skin, I have chosen the oily skin formula.

 Botanical Effects™ Cleanse: Using lukewarm water, apply cleanser with fingertips, rotating and massaging, to remove impurities and dirt.

Botanical Effects™ Mask: Apply a quarter-size of the Mask to the neck, face and décolleté and massage the face to improve circulation and muscle tone.

Botanical Effects™ Freshen: Apply to face and neck with cotton ball, avoiding eye and mouth areas.

Botanical Effects™ Hydrate: Use a nickel-size amount and smooth on a clean face, neck and décolleté using upward strokes.

My Experience: I have been using the Mary Kay Botanical Effects Skin Care line for a little over a week now and have been greatly impressed at the condition of my skin. I definitely have less shine. My skin looks more toned and my pores seemed to have disappeared. My skin is well nourished and beautifully hydrated.

To compliment my new found facial radiance, I am also using Mary Kay Lash Love Lengthening Mascara in black for long, dramatic lashes. 

I lightly dust my face with Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder to keep my shine at bay.

Finally, I apply Mary Kay NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss in Rock ‘n’ Red to create a fresh, almost summery look! ( I blot it with tissue a bit, but I still love the shade.)

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
