so apparently i won a bridal pampering package for me and 5 friends. the mary kay director will come out to my house the night before the wedding and help me throw a pajama party and do nighttime facials and stuff. then she will come back in the morning of the wedding with an assiociate and do our make up for the wedding.
ALL FOR FREE!?!
so it sounds great, but i am a little apprehensive, and i dont know what to expect exactly, obviously this is a marketing deal to try to get more customers, and i dont want a sales pitch, but i like the idea of getting pampered and getting make up done for free.
Does any one know what to expect? or have you had this or done this kind of thing before?
also, i figured we would tip the Mary Kay director and her associate, but i dont know how much would be appropriate, its for 5 girls.

If you've never used the products before, I would avoid trying any of the skin care products in case you react poorly - especially if you have sensitive skin.
i would skip it. you or others in your party will be dissapointed and someone will most likely think that is a little cheap...
You will probably get some free samples & products out of it!
Also when you do need a good skincare line, you will have a contact.
Note: I would do this at least 3-4 weeks+ before your wedding.
Have fun! Its your wedding!!
She's offered her services for my wedding, and I fully plan on using it. Yes, it is a sales pitch. If your guests are aware of that ahead of time, it shouldn't be a problem. All Mary Kay parties are an attempt to get you to purchase their product, which is overpriced. I swear by their skin care ... so I think it's totally worth the investment.
The cool thing about their bridal package is that they'll do the entire wedding party, to get a cohesive look. My mom never wears make-up, so I'm nervous about her look. My future mother-in-law wears too much make-up, so I'm nervous about her look too. This way, my girls and I can go and figure it out in advance, and we'll know how to replicate it the day of. In other words ... DIY make-up application, cheaper than hiring somebody for the morning of and risking them showing up late!
My bridesmaids and I like this sort of thing, so it won't be a problem for us. But, ultimately, it's entirely up to each bride.
