New Hair - Accessorize Time!

With the leaves changing colors, air getting crispier and pumpkin spice scent in the air, I figured it was time to change my hair.

I've been wanting to get red ombre hair, so I decided to finally go for it. I went to Artim Salon and Spa in East Hanover and Candice made my vision come to life.

Here are the results. I really like how it turned out, but the color looks better in person then in these pictures:

With new hair, I need cute accessories to go with it. Thankfully, Mark. (by Avon) has some really cute hair accessories out right now.



One of my new favorite hair clips is the Mark. Good Hair Day Clip.
The earrings are also by Mark. and they are called Smoke and Mirror Earrings

My hair also looks great with my Mark. Add Sparkle Headbands

 

By the way, my makeup was inspired by page 8 of the new magalog. (Want a magalog? Email me at  markitgirlsteph@yahoo.com and I will send one to you)

Here is the page:

For Foundation, I used Got The Goods in Very Light 2 color.
The purple eyeliner that I used along the lower lash lines is Mark.'s new liquid eyeliner Metal Works in Venus. I really like it because it gives a nice pop of color. I'm going to be using it often.

For the shadows I used i-mark wet/ dry eye shadows in jazzy and luvstruck and even used the new Light Show illuminating Face Powder on the creases of my eye.
The eyeliner I used along the upper lash line is Mark. No Place to Run in Jet Set.
For my lips, I used my new go to color Punch, which is a Make it Rich Lip Color Crayon.

Pick & Choose: Outfit of the Day

I'm really excited because my awesome boyfriend gave me the Clarisonic Mia Skin Care System. I've only used it for a couple of days, so I can't give you a proper review yet. I will do a better, more detailed, review with before and after pictures in about a month. The one thing I have realized in this short time is that my skin does feel smoother. If you want to know how it goes, come back in to visit my blog next month.


In other news, today at work we were able to wear jeans and have a more casual dress down day. This is exciting for me because I have to wear a uniform every day. This is what I chose to wear:

Black Blouse from NY& Company

Jeans are from Express and they are Eva Curvy Fit (Mid Rise) Skinny Jeans - I've tried to find this type of jeans on Express's website, but it doesn't seem like they make the Eva jeans anymore. Does anyone know for sure?

3/4 Sleeve Sweater Cardigan in Orange from Forever 21

Boots are mark. Gimme the boot

mark. Sparks Fly necklace



I was also wearing cute earrings, which you can't see from the picture, so here is a close up:

mark. Smoke and Mirrors Earrings


To keep myself warm when I leave work at night, I have a cute new hat.

3 Favorite Beauty Products at the Moment: Hair, Face & Skin

Lately, I have been frequently using 3 different products

One of these products is Julep's Elixir (Organic Moroccan Oil). 

Although it can be used for your skin & cuticles, I've mostly just used it on my hair. My hair is usually very frizzy and quite frankly, a hot mess. In my June Julep Mystery box, I received the Elixir. I was really excited to use it because I had read some good reviews.
Ever since I received it, I've been putting a bit of it on my hair after I shower. Since I started using it, my hair has become much more manageable and less frizzy.  Before the oil, I wouldn't even let my hair air dry because it would be so unruly, but now I do it all the time and it looks great. I have even received compliments from my boyfriend who has noticed a difference in my hair. 

The other product that I have been using is Mark's Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette. 

This is perfect as a bronzer for a shimmery summer glow. The mix of the bronze, golds and pinks gives my skin a healthy, brilliant glow that I love for these summer months.


I have also been using it as eye shadows because I love the colors so much.



The third product that I currently love is First Aid Beauty Smooth Shaving Cream.

I received a sample of this shaving cream with last month's glossybox.
It's one of the best shaving creams I have used. It makes my legs super smooth and doesn't irritate my skin. I liked the sample so much, that I want to go buy a regular size bottle now.
