May Updates!

Hey guys!
It’s been a while, but we have some great new items for your skin, your lips, your wardrobe and for summer! I also have two collection sets that you will love.

For acne treatment- 2 new items:



 *Help Wanted Anti-Acne Exfoliating Cleanser:
This cleanser is great! It contains very small grains to exfoliate your skin's surface, and a blemish-controlling microbead formula to keep skin clear and bright. It feels very smooth and very light on your skin, and is made with Kaolin, a natural, oil-absorbing clay, and apple and cinnamon extracts. Help Wanted also contains salicylic acid to fight acne. If you have breakouts, this face wash is excellent.





* Get Treatment Anti-Acne Overnight Fix:
This is an overnight treatment (almost a mask-like consistency) that helps fight breakouts while you sleep. This treatment contains Kaolin, a natural, oil-absorbing clay, apple and cinnamon extracts and a 0.5% salicylic acid mix. This is a great product for bad breakouts or for emergency treatments.







For skin:



*Min-A-Real Cream-To-Powder Foundation with Mineral Pigments:
This is a new foundation with a new skin brightening complex! Min-A-Real is a breakthrough cream-to-powder mineral foundation and the first with mark’s new Lumiskin complex to smooth, brighten and even out skin tone. This foundation goes on very smoothly- with a brush or a sponge, though, with the sponge, I found a lot of the foundation gets trapped in the sponge and not on my face. Also this is NOT a foundation to fall asleep with- definitely wash your face before bed when wearing to prevent breakouts.




*Change Is Gonna Come Foaming Body Exfoliator:
I love this body wash! It has the perfect amount of soft scent and exfoliating grain. It isn’t too scratchy, and it’s not soupy- it’s the perfect mix of cream to exfoliate and it foams up fantastically on your skin. It smooths rough and dry skin patches and leaves a subtle scent. Change is Gonna Come is made with Fair Trade Certified brown sugar, and vanilla. It also has walnut shell powder and vitamin E, to scruff off dry skin and moisturize at the same time. This body wash is SO worth it, I highly recommend it.




For Lips:

*Lipclick SPF 15 Color Shine Lipstick:
If you enjoy Lipclick lipstick, you’ll love the new upgraded version- SPF 15! It’s the same moisturizing formula you already love, with shine and sheer, in new colours with sun protection built in. Formulated with vitamins A, C, E and that same magnetic clicking tube that makes Lipclick so cool.







For Wardrobe:

*Stacked Up Sandals:
I bought myself a pair of these as soon as I saw them. I didn’t have a pair of dress-up sandals, and these were exactly what I was looking for. These natural wedges with black faux leather trim are very summer-party friendly. They have a 1 1/2" platform, and a 4 3/4" heel. Unfortunately they don’t have half sizes, but ordering the next size up works out pretty well.






*It's A Long Story Dress:
Not gonna lie- I haven’t ordered this- but there’s a good reason! So many people have ordered this dress, we ran out of them- twice! This maxi dress in blocky colours with detachable halter strap is 100% viscose. Looks long and carefree, perfect for a summer night or day.







LASTLY!
We have two limited edition collections, each containing a great mixture of the best those collections have to offer.

*Ibiza Sol Color & Fragrance Collection
This is a very cool set containing all the best parts of the new Ibiza Sol collection.

• Ibiza Sol Instant Vacation Fragrance Mist – This scent has a “marine floral fragrance” with notes of honeysuckle, pear, white geranium and musk. I love this scent- it doesn’t go on heavy though, so it doesn’t linger as long as I’d like.

• Ibiza Sol Marbleizied Eye Shadow Stick in Aqua Deep- The Ibiza has three limited edition colors (aqua deep, bronze chic, island nights), all inspired by the Mediterranean Sea. Each pencil combines two silky shades that swirl into one multidimensional colour. They are advertised as lasting about 8 hours- they last a little less time than that, but still give off a great color.

• Ibiza Sol Nailed It Trend Mini Lacquers- These polishes are tiny, but pack a lot of colour. They have intense pigment, so last quite a long while before flaking off or chipping. There are only two colours, but you get BOTH in one package- tangerine-colored tango and minty green mojito.


• Ibiza Sol Marbleized Lip Gloss in Chica Coral – These are slightly thicker than gloss, and not quite a lipstick. The wear is slightly sticker than other mark glosses but not unbearable. The marbleized gloss has ‘swirls of two ultra-high shine, shimmery shades’ that combine into a marbleized lip gloss. There are three colours, bonita pink, chica coral, and hola bronze.

• Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Shimmied Up- I think everyone already knows how I feel about this powder, but I’ll remind you; it’s fantastic. It smoothes on nicely, blends well, and gives a great bronzed look without looking like an obvious make-up trick. Glowdacious combines bronzer and highlighter to create a shimmery, golden glow- combine all three shades with one application and you can enhance a tan or brighten skin. It can be worn alone or over a foundation equally well. This also comes in three shades for light, medium and dark skin types.

• Got To Glow Gradual Glow Body Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15- This is my new favourite lotion from mark. This lotion (with SPF 15) has a gradual build tanner to give you a sun-kissed look without the sun burn. It has an all day moisturizer and a non-streaking formula for a streak-free tan. This lotion is a fantastic addition to your daily skin routine.


*Ultimate Summer Deal with Buff/Natural Get a Tint
This set is a mixture of some older favourites and some new goodies, in a fun beach bag!
• Beauty Beach Bag - Colourful strapped beach bag, fit for all the beach essentials: measures 18 1/2" L x 5 1/2" W x 12" H.

• Aviator Shades : New and cool. I ordered them immediately- they are classic cool shades, and I needed them! Gold-plated metal frames with gradient tinted lenses. And good news! They read 100% UVA/UVB protection.

• Got To Glow Gradual Glow Body Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15 in Light/Medium- Yes, the same tan building lotion I described from the Ibiza Sol set. I can’t tell you enough how this lotion is so, so worth it.

• Juice Gems lip in Mango Tango- An old favourite! This is a high-shine tinted gloss that contains real fruit extract (yummm) and each shade has its own juicy flavour. These are such fun glosses to wear and a smooth gloss too.

• Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow in shade Iconic – Another old favourite. This is a LONG lasting liner and shadow- it easily lasts over the projected 8 hour wear. It is no exaggeration to tell you, if you go to sleep wearing this shadow, it will be there in the morning. It is a gel-based shadow (but amazingly not goopy) so I recommend brush application. Each compact comes with two colours, for a multi-use long lasting shadow and liner AND each shade is buildable, so you can make it as subtle or intense as you’d like.

• Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15 in Buff/Natural – Another old favourite! This moisturizer is lightweight and oil-free with ‘just enough color to even out your skin tone and give the appearance of a healthy glow’. This lotion is excellent for skin-balancing and hydration while preventing shine in spots prone to excess oil.

Overall some great items for summer.
Also! For the month of JUNE if you make a 35$ purchase you’ll receive a FREE (from me!!) Got To Glow Gradual Glow Body Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15!
Happy shopping!

New Year New You

I hope you all had a great holiday and a happy new year! Mark has some great new items and kits to help you and your skin be all you can be this year! In this update you'll hear about Shimmer Down! Lip Gloss, Plan of Action Kits, Just Tweezing Hook-Up Tweezer, Brow Factor Hook Up Clear Brow Gel, Pile It On Stretchy Bracelets. And I'm going to give you a sneak peek on some new items that will be out in the next few weeks: Self-Sanctuary Peony Apple Shower Wash, and three new eye kits created to enhance your natural eye color.

First, I want to show you some prices on the competition!

I always like to check out what other places are offering as far as makeup deals and I came across this:

24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils by Urban Decay listed at Sephora, all made from the same ingredients as mark's No Place To Run longwear eyeliner pencils. They are selling one pencil for 17$!! No Place to run costs 8$. Same pencil, nine dollars cheaper. I think that's a great deal.

Then I found this at Sephora; Philosophy Brand 'Hope in a Tinted Moisturizer', it's a lightweight tinted moisturizer to smooth and enhance complexion- very much the same product as mark's Get a Tint moisturizer. Sephora is selling their tinted moisturizer for 38$, we sell ours for 10$. I think I'll stick with Mark!

+mark Shimmer Down! Lip Gloss- I've already ordered two of these glosses. If you love mark glosses, you'll love Shimmer Down; it has the same smooth texture of the rest of our glosses but with an added shimmer for major impact. This gloss is full of reflective, iridescent gold-flecks that add crazy shimmer to your lips. It doesn't look glittery, just glossy, shimmery and beautiful. It doesn't get clumpy, and doesn't have any mysterious 'bits' in it like some competing glosses. I love this gloss! It comes in three great colors, perfect for any occasion. Order your Shimmer Down Lip Gloss, here.

+mark Self Improvement Skin Brightening Kit- This kit (over a 50$ value

) includes full sizes AND travel sizes, everything you need to make your face bright and beautiful. Self Improvement contains: Mist Opportunity Multi-Tasking Refresher (made with grapefruit, lemongrass and kiwi extracts) to purify and revive skin, Calming Effect Comforting Milk Cleanser (made with banana and oat milk protein) to nourish and cleanse skin, and See Things Clearly Brightening Moisturizer (made with mulberry, molasses, licorice and antioxidant rich lotus flower) to improve skin clarity. Self Improvement Skin Brightening Kit has everything you need to brighten your skin, any time you feel like it; order your kit here.

+mark Plan of Action Oil Control Kit- This kit, like the Skin Brightening Kit, includes both full sizes AND travel sizes to nourish skin and cut down on excess oil. Plan of action contains: Matte Chance Mattifying Lotion (made with pumpkin seed, sugar cane and a silica oil absorber) to moisturize skin and cut down on excess oil, Mist Opportunity Multi-Tasking Refresher (made with grapefruit, lemongrass and kiwi extracts) to purify and revive skin, That's Deep Purifying Cleanser (made with sugar maple and black willow bark) a soap-free formula to provide a deep cleanse without drying your skin. This kit is fabulous and a steal- I already bought mine! Get your Plan of Action Oil Control Kit here.

+mark Just Tweezing Hook-Up Tweeze- mark is calling this their "Brow Wow!" hook up. This new hook-up is a portable, small vile with a precision mini pair of tweezers inside. Great for any quick fixes, and great for your purse or makeup bag. As a hook-up you'll never have to worry about losing this pair of tweezers somewhere in your bag, it will always be clicked into a hookup vile. Get your Just Tweezing Hook-Up Tweeze here.

+mark Brow Factor Hook Up Clear Brow Gel- Another part of mark's "Brow Wow!" hook-up. This is a clear gel you can use to tame your brows. Hook this up to Just Tweezing, and you have an instant eyebrow action pack! This gel runs on smooth with a mascara wand, and keeps hairs in place without flaking. Get your Brow Factor Hook Up here.

+mark Pile It On Stretchy Bracelets- These are a fun little batch of nine coordinating black and silvertone beaded bracelets. I don't have much to say about these bracelets beyond, I like them and bought myself a set immediately. They go well with everyday outfits and dress casual. You can wear them all at once, or mix and match, a fun compliment to your look. Get Pile It

On Stretchy Bracelets here.

+mark

Self-Sanctuary Peony Apple Shower Wash- A new indulgent bath and shower collection that is scented with a mix of crisp apple and fresh peonies. This new scent is wonderful and light. It makes me wish springtime would get here already!

+Eye Kits- mark made three new great color kits for your eyes! A Hazel eye kit, a Brown eye kit and a Blue eye kit, complete with Snap To It case, two imark colors, No Place to Run Eyeliner, and Make It Big mascara. These are a great deal, and coming soon!!

+mark Hazel Eye Kit- "All products in the Hazel Eye Kit were chosen by mark makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. "Because red is the direct complement to green, which is prominent in hazel eyes, I chose a pinky shadow and purple liner - softer shades that still make eyes pop." Kit includes: Snap to It custom color palette in size mini, 2 i-mark custom pick eye shadows - luvstruck and whisper, No Place To Run longwear eyeliner in ultra violet, and Make It Big lash plumping mascara in espresso."

+mark Brown Eye Kit-"All products in the Hazel Eye Kit were chosen by mark makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. "Brown, a warm shade, actually results when many colors are mixed together. So cool shades, like violet, offer a nice eye-emphasizing contrast." Kit includes: Snap to It custom color palette in size mini, 2 i-mark custom pick eye shadows - plum velvet and piccadilly, No Place To Run longwear eyeliner in jet black, and Make It Big lash plumping mascara in raven."

+mark Blue Eye Kit-"All products in the Blue Eye Kit were chosen by mark makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. "Orange is the direct complement for blue, so related shades like golds and warm browns, act as eye-poppers too." Kit includes: Snap to It custom color palette in size mini, 2 i-mark custom pick eye shadows - tiki and goia, No Place To Run longwear eyeliner in foxy brown, and Make It Big lash plumping mascara in raven.
