Summer is here!

Summer is here, get ready for hot days and hot deals!

Today I'm reviewing: Shimmer Glossblossom Ripening Lip Tint, Winkstick Hook Up for Eyes, Shine Fighter Oil-Control Mask, Calm Yourself Hydrating Mask, A Spray We Go, Citrus Bloom Body Lotion, Break Out Plan Anti-Acne Gel Lotion, Back Me Up Anti-Acne Back Treatment Liquid Spray, Blemish Banisher Anti-Acne Treatment Pads some sneak peeks, and a deal!

+Shimmer Glossblossom Ripening Lip Tint- This is a nice, sneaky gloss. It's a tinted lip gloss that slowly develops into a high-shine colour with a little pink and gold shimmer. I say sneaky, becasue the colour seems to creep up on you. I like this gloss because once the shimmer wears off the color stays on a whlie longer. You can layer this gloss on during the day to intensifiy the the color without looking overly made-up. There is a light berry frangrance but it's very faint and doesn't linger. Glossblossom is great if you want a subtle shimmery color and don't like wearing a lipstick. The only downside is that this gloss comes in a tube, rather than a hook-up, so it's not as purse-friendly as some of the other glosses. Aside from that one downer, I think Glossblossom is a fantastic gloss that gives you a nice natural pink, healthy lip colour. Order yours here.

+Winkstick Hook Up for Eyes- Winksticks are an ultra creamy eye shadow that comes in a stick hook-up. These hook-ups are a little different from the Mini mark It Sticks (super soft colour pencil). Winksticks are a much creamier shadow that glides on smoothly and provides a lasting shimmer without being so creamy that it gets clumpy or mushy. These sticks are great because the cream colour lasts a long time without creasing or fading to nothing; and if you've applied too much you can easily spread it across your eyelid without it pulling your eyelid skin. They come in 8 great colours and are perfect to throw in your purse or travel bag. Grab your Winksticks here.

+mark Shine Fighter Oil-Control Mask- This mask is awesome! I'd never really had any luck with masks before, either they dry out my face, or make me breakout, or burn; this shine fighter mask is easily one of the best masks I've ever tried. The Shine Fighter Mask is an "intense" purifying mask that contains kaolin, an oil absorbing clay, and apricot which is rich in vitamins A and C. Both of these natural ingredients protect the skin from environmental damage and help fight shine all day. If you have oily skin, Shine Fighter will really change your face. Immediately after using this I noticed a difference in my skin- I'm hooked. Definitely a must-have for those of us with oily skin. Get yours here.

+mark Calm Yourself Hydrating Mask- Another great mask! Calm yourself is a gel mask meant to increase moisture and smooth and even skin tone (mark says this gel mask immediately increases skin's moisture by 168%). As soon as you put this mask on your face, you feel a soothing, cooling sensation all over your skin. It contains five different "super-smoothers" sea moss, wheat germ, cucumber extract, aloe vera and green tea, as well as antioxidant rich lemon extract and orange extract to imporve your skin tone in as little as one use. Calm yourself works in under five minutes and leaves your face feeling so smooth and gorgeous you won't believe it. I was worried that it would burn or sting my skin while it was on (especially being a gel), but it was so cooling and refreshing. If you're not sure which mask to try, Shine Fighter, or Calm Yourself, go for Calm yourself- you won't be disappointed. Order here.

+A Spray We Go Hook Up Frangrance- Best hook up ever! With this hook up you can take your favourite mark frangrance, or frangrances, with you. You can hook this to any of your other hook ups, lip sticks, eyeshadows, etc and through it in your purse for a quick scent pick-me-up. I love it. These are a great idea and a great item to have with you. I just wish they sold Rio Bikini in a hook up spray. Order your A Spray We Go Hook Up here.

+mark Citrus Bloom Body Lotion- If you like the Citrus Bloom frangrance, the body lotion is a must have. This is a lightweight moisturizer with a hint of Citrus Bloom. This lotion absorbs quickly and is really smooth and light, so you don't feel sticky or greasy when you wear it. You can wear it under Citrus Bloom frangrance mist to extend the life of your scent. The Citrus Bloom scent is such a fantastic summery smell with a mixture of green mango, mandarin, lemon, orange flower, honeysuckle and jasmine. There are also subtle hints of sun-bleached teak, patchouli and sandalwood. I love this scent and lotion. Pick up your Citrus Bloom Body Lotion here.

+mark Break Out Plan Anti-Acne Gel Lotion- A brand new anti-acne lotion that is fantastic! Break Out Plan is different from your average anti-acne lotion because it contains apple and cinnamin extracts to reduce the appearance of redness casued by acne. These ingredients, combined with 1.5% Salicyclic acid keeps your pores clear and also treats existing blemishes and blackheads while preventing new ones. Because Break Out Plan contains salicyclic acid, it may dry out your skin a bit, but I've found you can put your usual nighttime moisturizer on over your anti-acne cream and that seems to solve the problem. If you have acne-prone skin, Break Out Plan is a must have. Order here.

+mark Back Me Up Anti-Acne Back Treatment Liquid Spray- I haven't tried this one yet, sorry folks. I have sold a few though, so as soon as I get some feedback I can let you know what people think. This spray, just like the anti-acne gel, has apple and cinnamon extracts as well as 2% salicylic acid. This is a quick-absorbing spray that targets "bacne" to keep pores clean and clear. It treats existing back blemishes and prevents new from forming. The gel works really well, so I have high hopes or this spray. Be the first to reveiw this product, and purchase here.

+mark Blemish Banisher Anti-Acne Treatment Pads- Great buy! I've used other pads in the past (stridex, oxy), and none of them can compare. These pads literally work overnight to stop breakouts and keep skin clear. Blemish Banisher pads, like the other two anti acne treatments have apple and cinnamon extracts to soothe skin, and have a 1% salicyclic acid. Treatment pads even work if you haven't washed your face before using. I use these pads every night with my nighttime routine. Love them! Buy yours here.

COMING SOON!

+mark Save The Day Anti-Acne Concealer Stick- Save the Day sticks are a medium-weight, buildable-coverage concealer that works to clear blemishes as it covers them. This oil-free concealer blends easily under or even over any foundation for the appearance of smooth skin while the 2% salicylic acid in the concealer actually fights the blemish. You will love this concealer, watch for it!

I love this lotion. I'm super pale, so I always use SPF lotion when I go outside, but SPF

creams are usually greasy and smelly. Do The Right Thing is awesome! Not only does it not smell like sunscreen, but it's super light on your skin and absorbs right away. There's no standing around waiting for your lotion to dry, it goes on smooth and smells great. Also it keeps your skin silky feeling for hours.

• immediately moisturizes chapped, dry elbows, knees and heels
• smoothes unruly brows; softens rough cuticles

I also found that if you are having a frizzy hair day (from the ridiculous humidity and heat we've been having) you can rub this balm all over your palms then smooth your hands over your hair. It works like a charm to keep frizzies to a minimum. It also adds a great subtle vanilla scent to your hair. I have a feeling this product will go fast once it's up on the website.

Sneak Peaks, Codes, and Updates!

Hey everyone! I have some great new products to show you, and a bunch to review. Also have a coupon code, good till June 13th.

Today we're checking out KissInk Lip Tintmarker, Lots of Lacquer Hook Up Super Color Lip Gloss, Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine, Pro Glimmer Hook Up Lip Powder, Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara, Snap To It Mini Custom color Palette, i mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow, Make It Go Away Makeup Removing Wipes, a great for summer Garden Party Dress, a LAST CHANCE item, and some sneak peaks at new products.

+KissInk Lip Tintmarker Smooch-proof lip stain- This lip stain is so cool! Kissink looks like a big magic marker, but works like the most expensive lip stain out there. The magic marker-style tint has water-based liquid pigments that dry super fast and give an all day smudge-proof finish. I really love this product, mostly because I'm so terrible at lipstick. Kissink is great to wear as your all day lip color, or under your regular lipgloss. I bought this in "Red Siren" and when I first applied it, it was very red; I then put a neutral tone gloss over it and it looked amazing all day. Kissink comes in two long lasting colors that are flattering for all skin tones. Definitely a great item to keep in your makeup bag. Order here.

+Lots of Lacquer Hook Up Super Color Lip Gloss- Lots of Lacquer is a rich gloss, one step away from lipstick. This opaque gloss gives a high-shine wet look, while conditioning your lips. I like that this gloss isn't sticky and is thicker than the other glosses, but I felt like I had to reapply more than usual. The color didn't really smear off or run, but it seemed to just blot away to nothing during my daily activities. Lots of Lacquer comes in five great colors and of course, is a hook up, so you can carry this with you anywhere. If you're looking for a thick, high shine gloss, this is definitely the gloss for you. Get yours here.


+Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine- Another great hook up lip gloss in six great shiny colors. Pro Gloss Plumping Shine uses mark's 3D complex to help hydrate lips and plump them up to give a full, lucious, lip. This gloss feels a little tingly when you first apply it (nothing scary!), and gives you a nice subtle fullness in your lips. You aren't going to end up with super huge lips, but you will end up with a nice pouty look. Order your Plumping Lip Shine here.

+Pro Glimmer Hook Up Lip Powder- At first, I thought this was the strangest product; now it's one of my favorites. Pro Glimmer Lip Powder is a shimmery loose powder hook up that you can pair with any lip gloss/balm/stick to add to it's staying power. This comes in three colors (Punk is a very vibrant pink and Peek is a nice neutral color) that you can wear with or without your lipstick. I love that you can use this to intensify your lip color, or play it down, depending on which powder you use; and that Pro Glimmer adds to the staying power of any lip gloss. Pick up your Lip Powder here.

+Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara- Make It Big is a smudge-proof formula that builds and lengthens lashes while staying lightweight on your lashes. This mascara comes with a super, over-sized brush made to seperate lashes without flaking. Most of the product reveiws rave about this product, but it wasn't my favourite. I found the giant brush to be a pain- I couldn't manuver it around my eye properly since it was such a huge applicator, and I didn't see much of a difference between this mascara and my normal mascara. Also, Make It Big only comes in two colors, brown or black. I think I'll stick to Scanda-Lash. Order Make It Big here.

+i-mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow- These are great for mixing and matching shadows to create your own personal style. There are now 27 different shades to choose from in matte or shimmer, and some limited edition colors! These shadows are long lasting and come in a pretty big size for what you're paying; for affordable shadows, you really get your money's worth. The pigment lasts a long time on your eyelid and doesn't rub off the moment you touch your lid. I love also that these shadows are magnetized so you can pop them in and out of the mark custom cases. These being magnetized allow you to mix and match colors for any occasion and bring a bunch of looks with you in one small case. Order here.

+Snap To It Mini Custom Color Palette- This is the most awesome makeup container ever! I love this case; it comes in three sizes to accomodate different amounts of shadows, or blushes. The Mini color palette is a small magnetized, mirrored compact that can hold two i-mark eye shadows and a Good Glowing brush. This is the most portable, customizable case that you'll ever find. I love this case because it is so compact, and easy to carry, and I can add whatever colors I want to it and switch them out as often as I want. This is a great compact for keeping in your gym bag or purse or anywhere else for sneaky makeup touchups. You can order the Mini Custom color Pallette here; the Mezzo Pallete which can hold 4 colors here; or the Mega custom Pallette which can hold 8 colors here.

+Make It Go Away Makeup Removing Wipes- This is one of my new must haves! Make It Go Away is a small packet (a little larger than travel tissues) that holds 30 towelettes that are saturated with a gentle cleanser. These wipes are perfect when you need to present a fresh face but are unable to wash your face- like a spontaneous meeting at the end of your day or social invite after the gym. Make It Go Away is also great for removing eye makeup at the end of the day. This cleanser is gentle enough to remove eye shadows, liners, or mascara without drying your eyes or stinging the delicate skin around your eyes. I love this product and carry one in my gym bag and in my purse for a quick cleanup. Once you use these towels, you'll be hooked! Order here.

+Garden Party Dress Natural Attraction- This little white dress is great for summer. This is a classic sundress with a flirty twist of spaghetti straps that tie at the shoulders and eyelet frock features. The Garden Party Dress is 100% cotton and adds a little flirt to your easy-going summer dress. Great for any summer day, order yours here.
