I haven't said much about the new and discontinued products in Mary Kay in a while. Frankly, I just don't care a whole lot about the products themselves. But here's a peek at the products that are coming on the December 16, 2009 order form. Notice that Mary Kay is an expert at "everything old is new again." Fragrance free Satin Hands wouldn't be necesary if they had just kept the original formula. (And consultants beware: The peach satin hands is changing in summer!!! And following that, MK will be making limited edition scents of satin hands.) A mask??? I thought Timewise was supposed to eliminate the need for a mask. Eyebrow gel? Now that's a blast from the past!
