Where to start? It's been a little while, hasn't it?! Well, since last month, I've had the opportunity to try out a few more mark. products, including For Goodness Face antioxidant moisturizer, which I was dying to try last time I blogged!!!

Pop-in Colors
Overall, I was satisfied. I got one of everything (eye shadow, eyeliner, lip gloss). Don't be fooled by the tiny size! You honestly don't need much to achieve the look you want! My only complaint had to do with the eyeliner. It doesn't work well at all with the upper lid. Bottom lid is okay. For the upper lid, I'd go ahead and stick with mark.'s On the Edge liquid liner...or the pencil eyeliner I review below.



Good Glowing Mosaic Blush
Happy camper! I purchased Love Rush, which works great with my mixed Asian/white skin tone (not olive ;-)). It gave my cheeks a healthy pink glow that lasted all day!








Eyemarker Color On Line
Totally rivals Revlon's Color Stay eyeliner!!! I'm speechless. Highly recommend!!!








Face X-pert Flawless Touch Makeup
Oh my gosh! SO fun!!! Opening this little container was such a pleasant surprise! Instead of a normal foundation bottle, a round a little round sponge tip applicator popped out as I pulled the top off! Again, don't be fooled by the small size. A little will go a long way!!! Very light feel to the skin, yet covers more than C-Thru-U. *Notable: Winner of CosmoGirl's 2006 Kiss of Approval Award of "Easiest-to-use-Foundation."



Foundation Brush

I'm still trying to get used to it because I'm used to using a blush brush to spread my foundation (it's all in order to get that "airbrushed" look). However, I won't deny the product. It does the job and spreads the foundation out nice and evenly! And the brush hairs are soft to the skin; very professional!!! Absolutely worth buying over expensive brushes from the makeup stores!



For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30
Oh my gosh ~ love it, love it, love it!!! Based on my experience with the previous lotions (where it was eh, pretty good...), I didn't know how I would take this moisturizer. I had very high hopes since I'm a huge fan of antioxidants (not to mention, blueberries and dark chocolate, which this moisturizer is infused with!), and my high hopes were absolutely met and possibly exceeded! My skin feels SO GOOD anytime I put it on, it smells lovely (as soon as it's applied), and yes! the SPF definitely holds up!!! My first test for it was a trip to Disneyland in 80+ degree weather, including a water ride at California Adventure (water = sun attraction). By the end of the day, I was farmer-tan-FREE, no sunburn on along my nose or top of my head/along the bangs area (yes, I was sure to add a bit there, too!); I was highly impressed! LOVE IT!!!


Instant Vacation Greek Isles Fragrance Mist
mmm...love it a lot (though obviously not as much as that moisturizer above ;-)). mark.'s description: "Warm honey, fresh gardenia, white freesia and creamy cocnut combine for a blissful island fragrance that captures the carefree Mediterranean mood of the Greek Isles." mmm yummy. I do love it a lot! It's a very light scent; not overpowering. Be forewarned that you will have to reapply every few hours to keep the scent going all day... *mmm I'm already on my instant vacation just thinking about the scent...hmm...*





Flower Ring
tee hee! Fun ring!!! and adjustable! And mark. is currently offering this for $5 with any $10 purchase on select items (many which I just reviewed!). Go shop! Be happy! ;-)
