On your Mark. Get. Set. Go!

Long time coming, but I've been meaning to want to review Mark. products and really get a feel for whether Mark works for me and here we go!


1. Get in line hook up waterproof eyeliner: Cocao coquette


How can you go wrong with a name like that? 
I must admit I've been biased towards black eyeliners so I took my time about deciding I wanted to try this color, especially because my hands are shaky with liquid eyeliners and I create more waves than I do, straight lines, but.
I really truly like this eyeliner. 
It was smooth and applied very neatly on my eyelid and the best part was that I was able to do a winged look for my work day and it looked professional and stood out. Hook up eyeliner, indeed!
Buy or pass me by: A definite buy!


2. Mark. powder buff natural skin foundation:
I received the powder buff in a variety of colors, deep 13, 14, medium 7 and 8, light 3 and 4 and the mediums worked perfectly on my Indian skin tone. I rarely put foundation but it was a good exception to the rule, blended right into my skin without appearing caked (which I loathe!) and allowed for a fresh pleasant look on a Tuesday morning.
Buy or pass me by: I'm not sure this is the best there is out there, since I haven't tried too many foundations, but as a stand alone, looks pretty good to me!

3. Mark. Whipped Up body butter
This luxurious cream is one decadent treat for the skin. Rich in vitamins and skin conditioners, the formula works within skin layers to hold in moisture all day. Skin is left soft and lightly scented.
I was excited to try this after my shower today and my skin drank it up. I cannot stand creams that appear greasy or leaves a heavy feel on the skin, but this soaked right in and the scent of lemon sugar lingered much after my shower. If I had one wish in the world, I'd wish that they made a lotion of this exact same product. 
Buy or Pass me by: A definite try and let it speak for itself!

4. Mark. Three's a Charm body cleanser


This multitasking foaming cleanser can be used as a body wash, bubble bath and gentle daily use shampoo too! No matter how it’s used, a light scent is left behind.
I tried it with numerous applications, it worked well as a body wash and a shampoo and the scent did linger. The bubbles didn't work so well but hey, the scent compensates for it!
Buy or Pass me by: No complaints on this one! Definitely awesome for its scent which no one will stop talking about. A most excellent summer scent.

5. Eye shadows, Mark.


I did receive sample sizes of eye shadows to use, the really nice thing about Mark. is that the eye shadows are mostly wearable colors (isn't that a relative term?) and there are some bright colors. Did a swatch and discovered that most of the colors were ones I'd use again, so thank you Mark. for yet another product done well!
