Sneak Peak Saturday

Happy Saturday Beauties!

I know it's been awhile ~ I am working on getting myself on a schedule ;-)

So to make up for that and because its Saturday here's a little sneak peek of what's coming your way next week from mark.

1. I'm Hooked Bracelet (hematite or brass)

Reason #1 why I LOVE these: they come in TWO sizes!!!! Yes, so that they will fit a better range of wrists, woo hoo! I have the small size and still had to pinch it a little to get it to fit right, but it's still way better than the general one size fits all route. These are great to mix metals - gone are the days of only silver or only gold. You can wear these together and trust me you are going to want to layer these!

2. Chain Reaction Earrings (hematite or brass)

These.are.awesome. For seriously. They are a funky twist on classic studs and they go with EVERYTHING. From jeans and a hoodie to out on the town, these will be your new go-to earrings. The hematite ones are a little darker in person than the picture above shows, but they are gorgeous!

3. Double Skull Ring

Alright, I know. Skulls are not for everyone. However, I personally can't get enough of this! It's very chic, and so rockstar! I bought one and won another one so I wear two at a time and it's so H-O-T. And I love that you can squeeze the two skulls together a little to make it a tighter fit. Available in sizes 7, or 8.

4. Some Like it Haute Bag (purple or gray)

This is so stinkin' adorable! My mom ordered it in the purple shade, and it's so beautiful - GREAT color for Spring! I love the size too, it's not enormous but it's still big. There's a zipper compartment and a snap closure compartment. Also, two sleeves and a zippered pocket at the back.

5. Boho Blend Scarf

On Friday, wake up, get coffee, go to your computer, and order this. Make a note, don't forget. Apparently mark. had a scarf similar to this a couple years ago and it sold out. I ordered this and I can see why. It's a designer inspired, multi-colored, light-weight scarf. And I love it. I have worn it several times with a few different outfits. The colors are great, and it's so versatile. You will kick yourself in the a$$ if you don't get it. I promise.

6. On the Bright Track Jeans

Bright colored jeans are all the rage right now. And I have to tell you that I kinda felt like a girl with this much booty has no business wearing something that bright across my largest asset. BUT. these are soooooo fantastic. They are stretchy, and they have a real zipper and pockets just like real jeans. They are tight, like jeggings, but with a longer top or long cardi they are ADORABLE. And the bright cobalt blue is gorgeous - and surprisingly neutral. If you're looking for a way to brighten up your spring wardrobe I highly recommend these. (Also they are not as bright as this pic - I think the flash makes them brighter...)

7. All the Highlights Illuminator

How cute is this?!? Seriously, right! At first I didn't even want to use this because it's just so pretty, but it's even prettier on your face! Be careful not to get too much on your brush because a little goes a long way. It's great on your cheeks AND your eyes! What a fun treat for Spring!

8. Hand It Over Hand Lotion (lemon sugar or pear blossom)

Purse friendly, and delicious! These are great to have in your bag, back pack or at your desk! Lemon Sugar is mark's signature scent and Pear Blossom was new for winter. Both are limited edition hand lotions, so grab a few while you can! (Pear Blossom is my fave!)

9. A Little Bit of Edge Jacket

Good Lord. Sweet Jesus. OMG. Moto-jackets are H-U-G-E right now, and will be through Spring (and into Fall). The best part of this jacket? The back. It's chiffon. It's the perfect mix of hard-core and feminine. It runs a little small so order one size up. The jacket is faux leather and it is a little pricey, BUT I swear to you that it's worth it. I had this hanging next to a Wilson's Leather jacket I have and they look like they both came from there. This is such amazing quality, and soft like buttah. Ugh, can I say anything more?!? It's an investment in your wardrobe, and your clothes will thank you for it.

Okay beauties - there's a couple of other items headed your way, but I can't tell you everything *wink*wink*.

Lip Service Update and Underdogs

Hello gorgeous beauties! I'm a little under the weather today, so I thought I would take a minute while I'm resting to do a little update on a couple of products.

1. Revlon Lip Butter Red Velvet:

I am still loving this product! I have worn it almost everyday. Its so moisturizing and it's such a great color. It's drama without being over the top. I wear this to work a lot too so it is work appropriate as well as weekend and nighttime appropriate as well. As you can see from the photo it swatches a little sheer, which is what I think I love about it so much, you can build up how much color and intensity you want. I really want to try other colors - if you have a fave let me know!

The other two products I wanted to mention were mark. products that I don't talk about too much anymore but they are still really great and I want them to get a little credit ;-)

1. mark. What a Line Felt Tip Eyeliner in Wee Hours

This product comes in several shades but my fave is Wee Hours. It's a great intro to liquid eyeliner. The applicator looks like a sharpie marker and allows you to draw liner on your lids with more control than a lot of liquid liners out there. I have personally been wearing liquid liner since the late 90's and I love the look you get from it - I use it everyday (if you see me with liner on 99.999% of the time its a liquid). But if you are afraid of liquid liner or are a beginner this is a great product to start with. Just be sure to shake it up a bit before applying - and let it dry all the way BEFORE you put mascara on!

2. mark. ScandaLash in Blacklash

This was the first mascara that I tried from mark. and it still is awesome! It's a volumizing mascara and don't let the tiny packaging fool you - it's a full size product just using less packaging (thank you mark. for being eco-friendly). This also comes in a brown shade, but I love black better! Ever since Lash All You Want came out I've been using that, but ScandaLash is a great mascara to use too. Plus it's a hook up so I like to hook it up to my Get In Line liquid liner and then I'm all set.

Hope you all enjoyed this little update, and please leave your comments below, I love reading them!

Lazy Sunday Make - Up Routine

Weekends are my dual personality make-up time, ha! I either wear none, some or a ton. It depends on where we are going.. 

Sundays are usually errand day around here and I have a few basic things I use to look a little more pulled together but not totally done up. 

1. Get A Tint = Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. I LOVE this stuff! I have blogged about it before - but it's really great for a tinted moisturizer. It's not greasy and it gives pretty decent coverage yet lightweight at the same time. 

2. Glowdacious in Prettied Up. I love that this bronzer/highlighter comes in 3 shades to compliment all skin tones. I am so pale and pasty that most bronzers make me look "dirty" so it's great that this one gives you options. It's great for an all over splash of color.

3. Lash All You Want in Black. Amazing Amazing Amazing. Length, Volume, no clumps. Love.

4. Gloss Gorgeous in Bare. My fave lip product from mark. It's a gloss and stain in one. I love the shade bare because it's the same color as my lips only better and it stays forever. It does have a minty flavor but it's not over powering. 

So those are my go to products for lazy make up days. I feel like they make me look like a more pulled together version of my natural self :-) 

You can find all of these amazing items at www.mymarkstore.com/mtrost

Review Day: Mag 1 2012

Happy Saturday Beauties! Can you believe we are one full week into 2012 already?!? Holy moly time flies!

Today I have a little review of the newbies from Mag 1. I am so totally excited for 2012 mark. items!!! There are so many fab-tastic things coming your way - you have no idea :-)

So to kick off this stylish year I offer the following items:

The Keep It Casual Sweatshirt. It's a light grey-sage color and has a boat neck - so it's gonna show your bra straps (I recommend a tank underneath or a great strapless bra OR wear a pretty bra in a complimenting shade that makes it okay if the straps show). Its made from french terry and it's so snuggly and soft. I really like that it has a pocket! A great piece to wear with jeans or casual with yoga pants. Depending on how you accessorize and what your work dress code is you could make this a work piece too!

Okay the bags from mark. in 2012....OMG is all I can say. OMG. The Studly Bag. This is a cross body bag, BUT it does have a belt like strap so you can make the strap a little shorter to wear on one shoulder. I love that it's cross body. I wore this for the day after Christmas shopping and it was great. I didn't have to worry about my bag falling off my shoulder and it zips shut so I didn't have to worry about losing anything either. The bag itself is black and has gold and silver studs on it (hence the name). It has two slip pockets in the front and one zipper one in the back. It's not a huge bag but it's a manageable size and you can still get your daily essentials in it.

Make It A Double Necklace. Comes in bronze or silver. And I want to tell you the honest to goodness truth about this necklace - I saw it in the trend insider (that's what us reps get to preview the new stuff) and I was like "huh. meh. don't want it." THEN my awesome mentor brought these necklaces to a meet-up and I was done for. I wear this necklace every week at least once. It's such a cool funky yet basic and neutral piece. If you are looking for a necklace to spunk up your wardrobe I highly recommend this,

In the Loop Earrings. These also come in gold or silver and match the previous necklace perfectly. They have little plastic backs to keep them in your ears, and here's the cool part - THEY WEIGH NOTHING. Seriously nothing. These are so light weight and such a fantastic twist on your basic hoop earrings. The only thing that bugs me about them is right now they have gotten a little tangled with my scarves and zippers on my winter coat - but that said I still wear them a lot (I have both colors) and I really really like these!

Walk the Line Ring. Chic! Sleek! So totally cool! I love this ring! Have you seen anything like this? It's just so cool and different. People definitely notice this and want to know where I got it. It's not bulky and I like the edgy look it gives off. Very cool.

Mag one is a great preview of the things to come in 2012. I hope you are as excited as I am because this year is going to be pretty amazing in terms of what mark. is becoming!
