cassieml says "to be discontinued soon!" about mark. I-Sheer Hook Up Creamy Eye Shadow

cassieml — Wed, 27 May 2009 04:38:17 GMT

It's just been announced that the mark i-sheer hook up creamy eye shadow product will be discontinued this year (2009)! Mark is clearing out products that haven't been selling well and apparently this is one of them. I think these hook ups are nice in that they are super convenient like the rest of mark's hook ups that you can easily carry with you. I also like that these creamy eye shadows are more liquid than solid, and they come with a doe foot applicator for easy application. The formula itself, however, is just so-so. I don't think it's particularly long-lasting and the color selection is limited. The lightest shade does make a great highlighter though to just easily apply below the eyebrows. They are extremely affordable as well--used to be $5.00 but I believe they are now $5.50 (mark raised the prices on all of their hookup products and many of their other products as well for that matter). At the moment the i-sheer product isn't even showing up for sale on the mark...

cassieml says "Love this scent for summer!" about mark. Instant Vacation Greek Isles Eau de Toilette Spray

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this fragrance last summer, it's great! It smells so refreshing and perfect for summer. I don't wear this in the fall/winter however, but when it warms up a little more I'm going to bring this back out! ...

cassieml says "Great for first time liquid eyeliner users!" about mark. Winkink Felt Tip Eye Liner

cassieml — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:11:10 GMT

I had avoided liquid eyeliners like the plague... I could NOT apply them correctly, I just looked like a mess! Then I ordered this product on a whim and it was so easy to apply--it's like using a thin felt tip marker so you get a smooth and precise line! I loved it! I realized liquid eyeliner was an amazing thing because it stays in place all day. Now I've moved on to mark's On The Edge Liquid Eyeliner which I think gives a darker line, but this product taught me how to wear liquid eyeliner. I definitely recommend it to anyone who currently uses pencil liner and would like to try liquid in an easy to apply product....

cassieml says "this stuff rocks! lips are super smooth!" about Mark. Kiss Xpert Lip Smoothing Treatment

cassieml — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:07:49 GMT

I ordered this lip treatment with no expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised! Kiss Xpert has very fine exfoliators so it's not harsh but still very effective. I just smooth some on with my finger before bed and rub my lips together. Then I apply mark's Kiss Therapy lip balm over top for extra moisture, and I wake up to beautifully smooth and soft lips. Definitely a winner!...

cassieml says "good fall/winter fragrance " about Avon Karmala Fragrance

cassieml — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:56:35 GMT

I received this product in a giftset of 3 mark avon roll-on fragrances, and this was probably my least favorite out of the 3 (Sassy, Bohista, Karmala). But I really think it just depends on the type of fragrance you prefer. Personally, I love light clean fresh & fruity scents... like lemony scents, so Karmala was too deep for year-round wear for me, but it was perfect for wearing last fall! Lots of ladies LOVE this scent though so I think I'm the odd one out, so i'd definitely recommend it to anyone because chances are they would love it just as much as everyone else!...

cassieml says "best eyecream I've tried!" about Avon Anew Clinical Eye Lift

cassieml — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:45:11 GMT

I got a great price on this when I ordered through amazon marketplace, just a tip! The undereye cream is soothing and moisturizing, and the uppereyelid gel is light and seems like it's actually helping firm my eyelids... I'm young so I don't have too many eye wrinkles, but I had noticed that my eyelid wasn't as firm as I'd like so this has definitely helped. I'd previously been using ROC's retinol eyecream and it was nice, but Avon's is much more moisturizing. This is great because I can apply it before makeup application and it doesn't pill at all. ...
