Out of This World- Nails & Makeup

Last night Refinery29 posted a picture up of a super cute manicure, so of course I wanted to try it out.

This was the original photo that they posted:

Here is my manicure that I did this morning. (Sorry it's a bit fuzzy)




Even my doggie, Mia, can't believe how bad my picture is. hehehehe


Anyway, back to the nails. For the blue, I used Essie's Aruba Blue. For the silver, I used Illamasqua's Glory .





When my mother saw the mani, she told me that it looked like I had on a NASA manicure. 
I think she is completely right. This is now my new NASA Manicure and it is out of this world. 
Yes, that is my actual NASA shirt by the way. I was just like any other kid when I was little. I wanted to work as an astronomer for NASA. Isn't that what every little kid wants to do?

 



For my Out Of This World makeup, I took inspiration from Mark. 's new magalog.



After playing with makeup, this is what I came up with:







For My Face I used:
Mark. Got The Goods Foundation lotion with spf 15 in LIGHT 3
Mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette for a nice bronze glow
On the cheeks, I used Mark. Light Show Illuminating Face Powder

For my Eyes:
I used Mark.  Star Status Eyeshadow Palette in Meteor Showers

From the Palette, I used the white, silverish color in my inner eyes and lids.
I used the green on outer lids and corners
The black , charcoal color I used as a liner for my lower and upper lash line.

The green color on this palette actually shows up on my skin as more of a Moss Color then a green, so I layered the color with I-mark Wet/Dry Eye Shadow in Empress 

For the Lips, I used Mark. Make It Rich Lip Color Crayon in Naturally.  

I love this new Star Status Palette, especially the white color. It's gorgeous! What do you guys think?

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.

Hitting the Mark- Make It Rich Lip Crayon

My post today is about some new products that Mark has come out with that are amazing.

In case you don't know, Mark is a division of Avon, and they have really great cosmetics, skin care, clothing, accessories, etc.

One of their newer products that I really like is Mark's Make It Rich Lip Color Crayon .  ($11 each)



These lip crayons are creamy, beautiful and they last for a long time. They can definietly be used on their own. I usually put a lipgloss on top to add more shine.

Me with the Make It Rich Naturally Lip Crayon:

Make it Rich- Naturally Color

This is a nude color, but it does have a bit of shimmer.

  

Make it Rich- Punch Color

This color is a light pink. I like to put it on when my eye makeup is heavy and I want a light lip color to balance it out.  I also like to add lip gloss on top of this color to make it pop a bit more. 


Make it Rich Punch Lip Crayon with Mark's Juice Gem Raspberry Gloss on top:



My Complete Look:


This look was done with Mark's new Wet/ Dry Eyeshadows
I used them dry and the colors are Ice Age, Biscotti, Empress and Tiki
Mark's Touch and Glow on my face, which is my favorite Mark product at the moment. 
The Eyeliner is Mark's No Place to Run Eyeliner in Jet Set and the lips are Naturally Lip Crayon.
