The Season Of Love – Marykay

Some people experience love at first sight. Like falling in love with an amazing pair of shoes in a store window. While this type of instant love is intense and exciting, it does not always stand the test of time. Like when you realize that same pair of amazing shoes is only comfortable to wear for 45 minutes…max!

In most cases lasting love – for a person, a place or a brand – takes time to develop. It takes time to discover and explore all of the elements that form the foundation of an emotional connection. This type of deep connection reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from the movie “Shrek.”

Do you remember when Shrek and Donkey are getting to know each other, and Donkey thinks he has Shrek all figured out after a few interactions? Shrek reminds Donkey that he is not a simple being, but rather a complex person with many layers. It showed Donkey that he had to get to know all aspects of Shrek to truly connect and develop a friendship.

The same holds true for a brand. With that in mind, I do believe that it takes time for relationships and love to develop as one explores various layers of a brand.

The Mary Kay brand has many wonderful layers – starting with the inspiring success story of Mary Kay Ash and her legacy of changing lives. Next, you have 3 million Independent Beauty Consultants around the world who are dedicated to providing their customers with the highest level of service. Then, you go on to find hundreds of irresistible skin care, color make-up and fragrance products. You continue on to find the rewarding opportunity and then to the positive impact that the company and The Mary Kay Foundation have in local communities around the world.

These layers represent the emotional connection that people have with our brand. Not our company, but our brand. At a minimum, a company is a group of people united for a business purpose. But at a maximum and at its best, a brand is what people love about that company. And that is what is at the heart of Discover What You Love – a personal connection with our brand. Our ultimate goal is for every person who touches our brand to say, “I love MY Mary Kay.

I hope you enjoy some of the photos and videos that you see in this blog post and on our other social media sites. Search for the hashtag #MKLove and be sure to tell us what you love about Mary Kay!

Mary Kay Chief Marketing Officer, Sheryl Adkins-Green, is excited to share our new brand campaign, Discover What You Love in today’s  post. Follow Sheryl on Twitter at @SherryAG.

Party Nails using Avon

DOTTED NAILS:

Apply a metallic nail colour to all of your nails. Here I chose my all time favourite silver – Avon Nailwear Pro+ ‘Starry Sky’.

1. Taking Avon Nail Decoration Dotting Tool and a little Speedy Dry ‘Rapid Black’ pour out onto a piece of paper or card, practice dotting the numbers. Keeping the dots as even in size as you can.
2. Once you are confident in using the dotting tool start with your little finger and slowly dot on the number ‘2’. Then work away from that nail and dot on the rest of the numbers not to smudge your wet nails.
3. For your thumb nail dot on a large ‘Y’ which will look like a cocktail glass and paint the joining centre of the ‘Y’ with a little gold nail polish for the champagne!

Colourful Fan Nails

1. For your other hand you want a vibrant fan/firework effect. To start roughly brush on lines at opposite sides of each nail with the Avon Nail Decoration Tool. To do this I used Nailwear Pro+ ‘Mod Gold’
2. Clean off your brush and repeat the first step again, brushing quick lines over the gold colour.
3. Once the base of the fan design is dry you can then add as many colours as you wish to the nails. Here I used Speed Dry ‘Reddy To Go’, ‘Orange You Quick’, ‘Fast Time Teal’, Nailwear Pro+ ‘Powerful Copper’.

WINTER SWEATER NAILS:

First paint the nails with a muted shade. Here I chose to use Avon Speed Dry Smoky Plumes as it contrasts well with white design and is an ideal winter shade. Leave nails to full dry.

1. Next taking the Avon Nail Decoration Tool Brush, place small crosses down the centre of 2 or 3 nails with Avon French Manicure White. This will act as a guideline for the rest of the crosses to keep them all in line with each other.
2. Place more crosses down either side of the central column of crosses to fill the nail. To finish the design place small dots in-between the crosses using the dotting tool end of the Avon Nail Decoration Tool.
3. For the other nail design carefully paint two vertical lines down the centre of 2 or 3 nails and connect with a zig-zag line. Then fill either side with as many small dots as you desire.

To complete this winter sweater print design apply your favourite glossy top coat to ensure your manicure lasts.
