On to Reviews!
Today I'm reviewing Glowdacious Illuminating Powder, Speedway Do Everything Makeup, Please Hold Eye Primer, Mini mark It Stick, Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner and Eyeshadow, and Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar body scents.
+Glowdacious Illuminating Powder- This powder is fantastic, especially for the sunny days we've been having lately. Glowdacious Powder is a multicolor powder that has bronzer and highlighter tones for a shimmery golden glow. This compact has three shades that you can combine into an all over illuminating powder that brightens your face and can enhance your tan. I like to wear this powder over Get a Tint Moisterizing Lotion for a nice shimmer over my moisturizer; you can also use Glowdacious on your neck and shoulders for an all over shimmer. I really like that this powder has three shades so depending on how you mix it, it can be a little lighter or darker to suit your daily look. What I love about this shimmer is that it's not over the top glittery, it's just a nice bronzer with a little shimmer, and it's also super smooth powder that makes your skin feel silky. Order here.
+Speedway Do Everything Makeup- Speedway is like a foundation stick, coverup stick and cream to powder concealer all in one. This stick is fantastic for evening skin tone and covering up trouble spots, acne, redness, and anything else your skin can come up with. Speedway is a lightweight cream-to-powder mini stick that you can carry in any bag. It's great for covering up sudden breakouts and redness, and you can keep it anywhere. It goes on smoothly and doesn't crease under your eyes, or buildup on your skin. The only problem with this stick is it's way too small, the tube is about half the size I was expecting. Aside from that, Speedway really is a do everything makeup and totally worth checking out. Order here.
+Please Hold Eye Primer- Please Hold is one of my new favorite items- it primes your eyelids for shadows and liners and it conceals dark circles. This primer helps your makeup last longer, stay fresh looking and helps prevent creasing. With this oil free cream you can cover up dark spots and smooth eye puffiness. I immediately noticed a difference in the wear life of my eye shadows once I started using this product. Please Hold is also great to wear on its own with just a simple liner or even mascara, it gives your eyes a natural even tone without looking washed out. Get yours here.
+Mini mark It Stick Hook Up Stick for Eyes- It Sticks are IT! These are fantastic little hook ups that you can bring with you anywhere. I have two in my purse in case I forget to put on makeup when I'm running late. These pencils are super soft shades that glide over your eyelids or lash lines and stay on for hours. It Sticks come in 8 shades, 4 with shimmer and 4 without. I have one of each- one without shimmer for my liner and one with shimmer for the corners of my eyes for a nice pop. Order here.
+ Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner and Shadow- Definitely does it's name justice! Keep It Going is the longest lasting eyeshadow and liner I have ever used. Inside the compact are two multi-use shades that are gel-based (instead of pressed powder) and buildable for extra intensity. If you put this shadow on in the morning, it will absolutely be there until you are washing your face before bed. Eventhough Keep It Going is gel-based you would never know, it goes on just like pressed powder and doesn't clump up the way you'd suspect. I love the way this shadow goes on, and that you can have it as subtle or intense as you want simply by reapplying. I own two out of the four compacts so far and am waiting for my third to arrive. I suggest purchasing the Flat Eyeliner Brush for flawless application. The Flat brush is perfect for drawing a precise line on the eyelid, and for smudging or blending liners and shadows on the lid. I apply Keep it Going with my Flat Brush only. Order Keep It Going here and pick up your Flat Eyeliner Brush here.
While I'm on the subject of brushes, mark is offering an excellent price for the best little brush kit; Go With the Pro Mini Brush Kit. I picked one up for myself and love it. It has everything you need in a little travel size: a powder brush, concealer brush, eyeshadow brush, lip color brush, and eye liner brush all in a 5" zip up case. This is a 30$ value for 15$. Order your Mini Brush Kit here.
+Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Shower Wash- A while back, Bath and Body works put out this body wash that smelled like lemon meringue, and then stopped selling it. This body wash smells exactly like lemon meringue pie and is half the price of what you're getting at a specialty store. This pearlized formula leaves your skin silky soft and smelling sweet and light. Self Sanctuary makes a rich creamy lather in the shower, and fills the whole room with scent for a little private taste of heaven. I bought my first bottle and loved it so much I bought four more- you may end up doing the same. To freshen your skin and scent during the day mark also makes a scent mist that you can keep at your desk or in your purse for a quick pick me up. Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent Mist has the same amazing light scent and contains provitamins A, B, and C for a quick dose of skin-healthy moisterizing. Get your shower wash here, and your scent mist here.
About Me
- Kirstin
- 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.
