About Me

My photo
I started selling mark products in 2010. I thought it would be a good way to get my feet wet in starting my own business. I wasn't sure what the product line would be like, but I decided to just go for it; so I jumped in, ordered my start-up package and discovered I loved every item they sent me. I was ready to order a bunch more for myself to try out other items. I was hooked. I love mark make up, skin care, body wash, lotions, clothes, purses, everything. Since I started working with mark, my mind has been completely changed on how I viewed Avon/mark type brands. Not only are the products excellent, but the prices are seriously unmatched by any retail brands I've seen. I am proud to sell the things I do- you get what you pay for, and then some. I'm always excited about the new products mark is putting out and can't wait to share them with everyone. I hope you find your mark favorites too! Please feel free to email me, or leave a comment on my blog.

All new goodies!

I haven't updated in a little while, so I've got a bunch of mark products to review!

Today we're looking at; For Goodness Face, That's Deep purifying gel cleanser, mark Matte Chance mattifying lotion, mark It Kit trend color compact, Good Riddance hook up concealer, and Salon Straight Pre-style Protector

-For Goodness Face antioxidant skin moisturizing SPF 30- Well, I should get this one out of the way first. I'm not in love with this lotion. There are good and bad sides to this moisturizer. Starting with the good, this moisturizer has SPF 30 coverage for protection against UVA and UVB rays. It also works very well as a super moisturizer- I wore this moisturizer as a night time cream one night, and my face looked amazing the next morning. For Goodness Face is loaded with antioxidants from dark chocolate and blueberries, so you aren't slathering chemicals all over your face. Also it has a really creative dispensing pump; when you remove the lid, you simply press down on the top of the container and a small amount of product squeezes out the top like a tiny, low pressure fountain. The design is really nice since you don't have to actually leave the lid on if you don't want to. The negatives. First off, this moisturizer is nowhere near as light as the other mark lotions I've used so far. It is as thick as other commercial products, but I wasn't prepared for it after using See Things Clearly, and Matte Chance. The other thing I didn't like was that I couldn't really use it under the Get a Tint tinted moisturizer because Get a Tint already has SPF 15 in it, so doubling up made my face feel super greasy. (Honestly though, if I had used a bronzer instead of another moisturizer this may not have been the same outcome). Lastly, all the mark reviews claim there is no smell with this product, but I completely disagree. All I smelled while applying it was sunscreen. I think if you are looking for a deep moisturizing lotion, with SPF, this product *could* be for you, provided you don't mind how thick it will feel on your skin and the initial heavy sunscreen smell. :( Not my favourite, folks; but you can always try it for yourself and tell me how wrong I am if you love it. You can order here.

+That's Deep Purifying gel cleanser- Loved it! If you want to get a deep clean for your face after you get back from the gym, or you sat in a hot car in traffic, this cleanser is your new best friend. That's Deep is soap-free, which means it's not going to dry out your face or make your skin peel. It also has a special blend of sugar maple, and black willow bark, that helps breakdown dirt, oil and left over makeup so your pores stay clean and unclogged! Your face will feel clean and smooth without feeling dry or stripped. The only downside to this product? It's not yet available! Such a tease. If you contact your rep, she can get you a sneak peek with a sample package, but the full size product has not yet been released. You can receive an email notification when it's available by clicking here.

+mark Matte Chance mattifying lotion- This is another must have lotion! When I first tried this lotion, I really did not believe it was going to do anything for my oily skin. I thought, it was too light, it went on too smoothly, this is not going to work. I was wrong. This mattifying lotion, actually took the oily shine off my face, without turning my skin into a dried out husk. Matte Chance is oil free and super light, and has a blend of oil absorbing ingredients to make sure you stay shine free. One of those magic ingredients is sugar cane, which is a natural alpha-hydroxy; alpha hydroxy ingredients have been used for centuries because of their rejuvenating properties for the skin. Bottom line, Matte Chance is fantastic for controlling oily skin. You can order your mattifying lotion here,




OR you can get a shine fighter skincare kit, which contains That's Deep, Mist Opportunity, Matte Chance, and Berry Grand super exfoliating beads here! (This deal, is a steal)






+mark It Kit trend color compact- This compact has gracefully defeated all other compacts I will ever use. The It Kit has the same design as the Flip For It urban neutrals compact, but instead of only 7 shades, this has 10 shades for spring. 10 shades! On one side of the palette, you have 3 lip glosses and 3 triple use color creams. I love mark's lip gloss- they go on so smoothly and last a long time. The color creams are fantastic, you can use them as an eyeshadow, a cheek blush, or as a lip colour and in any of those uses, the cream goes on smoothly and clean. The triple use creams feel nothing like a gooey lip cream- they are completely silky, and cover your eyelids, skin and lips like nothing I've used before. On the other side of the palette, there are 3 eyeshadows and a bronzer that is universally flattering. I have used the It Kit trend color compact everyday since I got it. You can be blown away by this compact here.

+Good Riddance hook up concealer-This concealer does the trick. I don't get much sleep, so concealer is a necessary item in my makeup bag- and this concealer is wonderful. Good Riddance is oil free, so it's not a slimy concealer that seems to melt away from your eyes as the day goes on. Also because it's a creamy stick formula, it doesn't pull or tear at your undereye skin while you're applying it. This concealer is also really good for hiding acne and acne scars on your face, and it didn't smear or stand out when I applied my tinted moisturizer on top of it. You'll get nice, even coverage with Good Riddance, just remember because it is a Hook Up product, it is a smaller size stick than your average store-bought concealer. Pick up Good Riddance here.

+Salon Straight PreStyle Protector- I have to admit, I rarely have reason to wear my hair down- however when I do wear it down it needs to be completely straight. Salon Straight actually makes my hair straight with simple blow-drying. Also it nourishes my hair so I don't end up with split ends or scare-crow straw hair after I use a hot hair dryer or a flat iron. All I have to do is spray the prestyle protector into my hair while it's still wet- I work it through with my fingers and then use the hair dryer to blow it out. After I blow-dry my hair, it's super silky feeling and straight as can be. I like that it doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy, and it doesn't have that weird stringy/stretchy feeling once it coats the hair strand. Some of the product reviews on the site claim that Salon Straight has an overpower smell, but I really didn't get that. It does have a scent when you first apply it and while you're blowing it out, but it isn't overpowering and it does not linger in your hair. A few minutes after you've dried your hair you can smell the product if you put your hair up to your nose, but you can't smell it once you get into your car in the morning, or if you're sitting having your coffee. You can order Salon Straight here.
