That's what they said!



A rich, fast-absorbing cream that instantly relieves dryness and replenishes skin’s moisture. Contains a super antioxidant-rich blend of açaí, goji, noni and pomegranate, plus skin-nourishing shea butter and murumuru seed butter. 3.4 fl. oz.

"I just got this in an order today. I actually didn't think I'd use it much, but bought it to demo at my upcoming party. I tried it out so that I had an idea of how it works so I could tell the ladies at the party. HOLY MOLY!!! It's AMAZING! (I know, I know, everyone says everything from mark. is amazing), but SERIOUSLY this stuff ROCKS!"

"I agree! Talk to the Hand cream is most certainly my favorite hand lotion ever! It's especially perfect in the winter for dry, chapped hands."
- "It got rid of my eczema, as well as my nieces" ~ "I bought this because i was running low on my regular hand lotion. It is a great size so i can just put it in my bag with my lip gloss. I am an artist and also work at a restaurant, so i use my hands a lot. This has helped keep my knuckles from cracking. There is a scent but isn't too obtrusive, it is kinda citrus."

"My gramma just had her birthday and she always has dry hands. So my sister bought this for my gramma, from me. The lotion being fragrance free was a huge part of the decision to buy it. It is a major plus because my gramma is very sensitive to smells. It is so wonderful. Very moisturizing and nearly fragrance free. Buy some!"


"Although I am happy to have a job-everyone in my department works hard, most of us leave with our hands torn-up! Everyone uses something-we all are open to trying anything new! When I brought this product in-it is so well liked even by the men! I keep a stash in my locker! It is very thick but doesn't leave your hands greasy-we have to be very precise and this product allows you to continue working without a slippery feeling! It definitely rules in our plant! We all think it smells like a very mild exotic kind of fruity smell!"

Shades of you

Everyone is different in every way. Take a look in the mirror & find your eye shape. You can learn more about how to brighten & bring out your eyes if you do little research. Mark wants to help you find your shape & help you make the best of what you have.


Almond Shaped: To create the illusion of larger, more open eyes, 1st apply a medium shade, like MAGIC, on the lids & into the creases. Blend a highlighting shade like CRUSH on the brow bones to brighten up the eyes. Sweep a dark shade, like JAVA along the upper lash lines as well as along lower lash lines. Brush mascara on upper & lower lashes, with a little extra on the top outer lashes.

Prominent: to make eyes appear more recessed, 1st apply a medium-to-dark shade, like Gioia, across the lids & blend a medium shade, like LATTE, in the creases, add a highlight shade, like NOMADIC, to brighten up the eyes. Run a dark eyeliner along the top lashes, extending the line slightly beyond the outer corner of the eyes, as well as along the bottom lashes. Apply mascara to only the top lashes.

Deep Set: To make recessed eyes pop, 1st apply a light-to-medium shade, like CAKE, on lids & blend a darker shade, like PLUM VELVET, in the creases. Add a highlighting shade, like BISCOTTI, to brighten the eyes. Run eyeliner along the upper lash lines only, very close to lashes, then brush mascara only on upper lashes.

Wide Set: To create the illusion of closer-set eyes, 1st apply a medium shade, like MINX, over the lids & blend a darker shade, like CORSET at the inner corners of the lids. Add a highlighting shade, like WHISPER, to brighten up the eye. Rim lids with liner, then brush mascara on the upper & lower lashes, concentrating a little extra on inner lashes.

Head out in high style with this brushstroke-patterned dress that zips straight up the front and features functional side slit pockets. (Hint: Its elasticized waist just begs for a belt!) 100% viscose. Imported.

Looking chic is a cinch with this elastic and faux leather belt! Cut at the sides for an edgy slashed effect, it also eschews a typical buckle for a cool, interlocking burnished brass closure. 40% polyurethane/40% PVC/20% polyester. Imported.
small/medium (27-9/16" L), large/x-large (32-5/16" L)

A chain that is sure to command attention, because it’s just so cool. Try wearing two for extra impact. 6 3/4" L (with 11/4" extender)
burnished brass, burnished silvertone

Don’t let this bag’s über-relaxed shape fool you. In tones of black and bronze, it looks just as amazing when you’re dressed up as when you’re wearing jeans and a tee. Faux leather. 30" L x 8 3/4" W x 15 3/8" H (10" handle drop).

Your final look:



This weeks samples include:
Matte Chance
If you want it all—skin that’s moisturized but totally shine-free then try this light, oil-free moisturizer that says bye-bye to shine with a super blend of oil absorbers to help create an up-close-and-perfect finish. Plus, a dose of sugar cane—a natural alpha-hydroxy—keeps skin fresh and glowing.

mark Break Out Plan Anti-Acne Gel Lotion
