Make Your mark. Monday: New Post Series

Got a bad case of the Mondays? Personally, I know I do. Not wanting to stay in that funk,  I thought about some way to change my mood. I came up with the idea to start a weekly themed post on mark. products! Here’s what I am thinking about doing with this new post series on the blog: Each Monday i’ll create a fresh post covering a few mark. products that are available on my Avon eStore. (That’s right, Avon and mark. products go hand in hand!) I’ll share product pictures, prices, and info. You’ll also see some customer comments that were left online as well as comments from myself on the featured product(s). My hope is that this series will be a hit and you’ll all see how trendy and versatile mark. products can be in your beauty routine!

Let’s start off with the mark. Sweet on Lemon Sugar Body Mist. This product is fun, unique, cheerful, and refreshing. You may be skeptical (I initially was) but this scent is one of the best chances I’ve taken on something. I was pretty sure that I would not like to spray a lemon scented spray on me. I worried I would smell like a cleaning solution or something. Instead what I got was a sweetened citrus splendor! The warmth and youth of this scent is a great choice with Spring just around the corner. The mark. Sweet on Lemon Sugar Body Mist is priced at $14, online at youravon.com/ssandis Also available to this collection are Hand Cream, Body Scrub, 3-in-1 Body Wash, and Body Butter. To get the best effect out of any fragrance, layering with the various scented products is recommended for staying power.

Have you tried mark. Juice Gems? If you’ve tried it in the past you may not know that the product now comes in a larger, sleeker tube. The mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss contains real fruit extract. It will leave your lips feeling moisturized and conditioned. There are 8 shades available, pictured above is shade Juicy Fig. I’m usually not a lip gloss kind of girl, but I like this because it is easy to apply — you don’t have to squeeze hard to get out enough product. I also like it because it smells and tastes amazing. The regular price is $11 each tube. PROS: Convenient Container, Even Application, Glossy Finish, Great Color Selection, Long Lasting, Moisturizing, Pleasant Tasting, True To Color. Online Customer Comments about mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss: “I have never found a better lip gloss. And believe me, I have tried. I am so bummed that the Avon stores in my city won’t carry it. The colors are amazing and it lasts longer than any lip gloss I have ever tried. I just bought 2 tubes of Juicy Fig and they are probably my 20th and 21st tubes. I absolutely love it.”

I had never tried a lip butter before but when I saw that mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat I was intrigued. This product is infused with Shea, cocoa, and mango seed butters and once again is pleasantly tasting and smelling. There are now 8 shades to choose from, pictured above are Bare All and Mauvelous. For a limited time only at youravon.com/ssandis pick any 2 of these for $16 — Regularly $11 each! Sheer-to-medium coverage: mauvelous, terra hotta, bare all, baby me. Medium-to-full coverage: razzmatazz, fired up, pop tart, coraltini. • Increases lip moisture by 124% • Infused with shea, cocoa and mango seed butters plus vitamin E • Treats dry, rough lips • Delivers color with buttery shine. PROS: Soothing, Healing, Long lasting, Smells/Taste Great, Effective.

Last for today is the mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder. I had wanted to get something to give me that glow around my cheeks and this product does just that. I also notice that when I use it, it defines my cheekbones and gives a professional makeup application look. I love it.When I first got the compact, it took a few times of using to really get in there to get the color on the brush — which is included, by the way! There are 3 different shades available, depending on your skin tone. I have fair/light skin, so my ideal shade is Prettied Up. This product is regularly priced at $13. Visit youravon.com/ssandis to place an order! More reasons that I love this product? It is oil free and fragrance free, so it isn’t harsh on my sensitive skin. It is easy to apply and blends well. There’s a silky, shimmery finish and it’s just gorgeous. It lasts all day long and removes easily with the Avon Makeup Remover Wipes.

My Makeup Mini-Haul + Product Reviews

Hey, beauties! I recently tried out a few new products and I'm excited to blog my reviews on them!! I ordered the AVON Magix Face Perfector, AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer, mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat in Mauvelous, and the mark. Juice Gems in Juicy Fig. All of these products can be purchased at youravon.com/ssandis so be sure to check that out after reading my post. 

I'm going to start right at the beginning. I have been looking for a product to help combat the oily shine that has been attacking my face as of late -- does that sound too dramatic? No, I think it's fair to say. I've heard the rave reviews on the Magix Face Perfector ($11) and was hoping I would like it as much as others seem to. What is nice about this product is that it is a colorless face primer. There is no tint to it and it is for all skin tones. I love the added SPF 20, which I can rely on to help protect my skin from the damaging rays from the Sun. 

My Notes on the Magix Face Perfector Product: 
- It has a powdery feel when applying. 
- Soaks up the shine practically instantly! 
- Delivered a matte finish.
- I do notice the scent of SPF and that's the only scent I get from the product. 
- I applied my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation over-top and it blended easily and flawlessly. 
- My pores are all but gone! 
- This product really does make a difference in how your finished makeup look will turn out.
- I am now a firm believe in face primers. This one gets my vote and I won't ever go without it again!

I already knew that I loved the mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat ($11) product, since I had tried it before and fell in love instantly with shade Bare All. I am just about all out of my tube (eek! *gasp*) and was dying to try one of the new shades that was recently added to the product line. I chose the shade Mauvelous! This lip butter smells and tastes amazing with the shea, cocoa, and mango seed butters.

My Notes on the mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat shade Mauvelous:
- Perfect mauve shade for Fall.
- My dry lips instantly felt moisturized and smooth.
- Smooth, buttery texture that is pleasant and non-sticky.
- Wears like a lipstick but feels like a lip balm (lightweight!) 
- I realized that I NEED all 8 of the mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat Shades!!

I've been wanting to try the mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss ($11) for a long time now and finally I was about to! I wanted a more neutral colored lip gloss as most of my lipstick stash is pinks and reds. I chose Juicy Fig and i'm quite glad that I did. I am so excited that this product contains real fruit extracts that amp up that yummy factor! This really does taste delish and that's refreshing from the chemical taste of other lip glosses that i've used. 

My Notes on the mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss shade Juicy Fig:
- My lips felt hydrated and conditioned after applying.
- This tube is much BIGGER than I thought it would be (yay more bang for your buck!). 
- High Shine in the name is exactly what you will get with this product. Incredible glazed look. 
- Just a hint of color, which is what I was looking for! 
- Easy to squeeze tube, making application a breeze (just be careful to not overdue it. Less is more, ladies!!). 
- Packaging is overall made well. I can trust that the cap isn't just going to fall off when in my bag and dry out my product.
-Tastes a bit like peach. Yum!!

I previously blogged my review on my new favorite mascara: Big & False Lash Volume Mascara. Since I have just started to wear mascara, i'm still learning how my eyelashes will take to it and how to treat and take care of them. I discovered the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer ($8 ON SALE NOW $4.99!) and knew I had to get it. I saw some reviews that this product had actually helped in growing eyelashes and who wouldn't want that!? This was the first go at using a lash conditioner and I wasn't sure really what to expect. 

My Notes on the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer:
- What I found was that the conditioner is a white, creamy primer that goes on just like any mascara would. 
- The wand is not too big nor too small, I found it to be the perfect size and brush to reach and prep all of my lashes.
- Went on and left the tips of my eyelashes white at first, but quickly faded and you couldn't tell it was on them. 
- My mascara went on over-top nicely, and I even noticed a difference in how the product worked. I was surprised to find that the mascara results intensified with the use of this lash primer! 
- Also, I noticed when it was time to remove my eye makeup, it came off even easier than before. Which though I thought was not possible, clearly it was. 
- I'm very pleased with this product and will continue to use it and see if I notice my eyelashes grow during continued use.
