Birthday Beauty Bash!

2011-09-20T11:45:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is staying beautiful out there!! Well, my birthday is coming up THIS Saturday!! WOOHOO! So in honor of that, I'm passing some more deals on to you!! This will include Beauty Bucks!!!! But first, how does everyone like the Beauty Bucks ??! Most of the ones awarded are from games or giveaways, so just wondering if i should revamp it to make it better on purchases? Maybe just extending the time frame to use them?! I have it set to 1 magalog to use them so that I'm not keeping track for months on end with no one using them. Let me know what you would like to see different about them and ill see what I can do!

But for now, on to your deals!!!!! Here's a quick rundown of how you earn them with your purchases :

Spend $10 get 1 Beauty Buck

Spend $20 get 2 Beauty Bucks

Spend $30 get 4 Beauty Bucks

Spend $40 get 5 Beauty Bucks

Spend $50 get 6 Beauty Bucks

Spend $60 get 9 Beauty Bucks

Spend $70 get 10 Beauty Bucks

Spend $80 get 11 Beauty Bucks

Spend $90 get 12 Beauty Bucks

Spend $100 get 15 Beauty Bucks!

Starting today , 9/20 and going until Sunday 9/25 you will have TWO options to pick from!

Option 1 - Make your purchases and automatically take your earned Beauty Bucks off!

No waiting till your next order to use them!

So if you ordered $70 you would get to take $10 off right away!

Option 2 - Make your purchase and earn DOUBLE Beauty Bucks to use on a later date!

So if you spent $100 you would get $30 to spend on another order!!

Or spend $30 now and get $8!!

These Beauty Bucks will be good till November too!

So what do you say?! Does this sound good to you?! These deals can be used on any current magalog items Pre-orders for Mag 11, or even items from my current stock!

So what are you waiting for?! Go shop now at My Eboutique and let me know what

you would like to order as well as option 1 or option 2!

But wait!!! As if that isn't enough, all those who purchase during this time frame will be entered to win a FREE GIFT! Maybe it will be makeup, jewelry or some Beauty Bucks to choose your own gift ;)

* Current Beauty Buck holders may use their Bucks on purchases but your earned Bucks would be less. If you use 2 BB you would have to spend more then the amount you would to earn those. So to use 2 BB you would have to spend more then $20 to earn doubles or to take off your newly earned bucks. Then take your total and subtract 20 and that's your new total for earning Beauty Bucks!

Example - I have 4 Beauty Bucks

I want to purchase $50 in products

4 BB would be at $30

So 50-30=20 and i have now earned additional 2 BB

These can be taken off right away making my total $44+ taxes no Shipping!

Or with option 2, My total would be $46 but I bank 4 BB for a later date!

I hope this makes sense. Of course you do not need to use your Beauty Bucks!

Make a purchase, take option 2 and earn back DOUBLE BB then next time you want to order

Combine and use them together!

If you are confused by this and unsure which way you should go, Let me know your shopping list,

and I will work out the math for you to get you the best deal! I will also try my best to please EVERYONE!

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! My wish this year is to make everyone else Beautiful and Fabulous!

Mark. Lips

LIPS

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT SHADE?

Start by choosing a shade which complements your skin tone, what you are wearing or simply a shade that you just love!

Your cheek color should be in harmony with your lip color, so keep them both in either a warm or cool tone. When it comes to your eye look, you can choose warm or cool. Just be sure that all of the colors within your eye look are in harmony with one another.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC TECHNIQUES OF LIP APPLICATION?

• To help keep lips soft, apply kiss dry goodbye under lip color
• Apply lip color starting in the center of bottom lip. Smooth and blend color outwards towards the corners. Repeat this step on top lip
• Layering will help lip color last longer. Apply a lipstick and follow up with a complementary gloss • To highlight or emphasize lip shape, focus on the center of the lower lip

Rep FAQ

2011-09-02T21:25:00.000-07:00

Have you being toying with the idea of becoming your own Mark. Rep? If you are anything like I was, i bounced the idea around for 2-3 months before I jumped in! But since then, I have had no regrets! I mean, how can you, you have NOTHING to lose when you sign up with mark.!!! Here is a list of FAQs i found very helpful!

1. After I get my started kit, are there additional fees?
           No!! You never even have to place a single order!! You can enjoy the 30% discount for yourself , friends and family, or even your customers. There is never a fee for your Eboutique.
Mark. offers samples that you can purchase but not needed. Also you can purchase 5 magalogs for only $1.10 BUT you get 5 FREE with ever order delivered to you! So if you have steady orders coming in you may never have to buy them! I personally place 1 order for the next mag coming out just in case so I have it in stock. Mark will also never push you to buy stock!

2. Is there a monthly minimim selling goal?
           No!! As I stated above, there is never a need to place an order! You will truely keep the discount for life! The only was to loose your rep status is buy selling the mark. products on ebay or other sites with a seperate checkout/chart than your eboutique. Some mentors will suggest you set a goal for yourself and may even offer incentives for reaching those goals but these are optional.


3. What percentage are the earnings?
           You will earn at least 30% on all sales. If you offer a product at a discount to customers, it would make your 30% lower. So if a product is normally $10 and you offer it for $8 you would only make $1 off that sale.
           Trend Insider - These are products that will come out in the next magalog. During the previous magalog, reps are allowed to purchase these at bigger discounts. Sometimes as much as 50%!!
           On top of your 30%-50% you can use shopping websites to earn up to another 6% cash back!! So if you play your cards right you could be saving up to 56% but a typical earning will be 36%-41% if you use the shopping websites!

4. How much money can you make?
           Honestly, you will make however much you want to make! If you try your hardest and never give up it will pay off. You get what you put into it. So dont expect to just open your Eboutique and customers will flood in. There will be work that needs to be done to get them there. Spread the word about mark as much as you can!

5. How old do you have to be to be a mark. Rep?
           You must be 18 :)

6. Do I get Discounts as a mark. Rep?
          You get 30% discount on anything in current or past magalogs, basicly anything in the Eboutqiue. You will even earn 30% on Last Chance items! Trend Insiders, or sneak peaks, will get you a 35% -40% discount and a few times you may see a 50% discount!

7. How can i get my earnings?
           Your earnings will be direct deposite into your bank.

8. Can mark. be sold internationally?
           At this time, you cant be a rep outside the USA. But you can purchase!! Some reps will ship to you at cost. It can be a little more costly though.

9. Is there pressure to sell?
           You can put in as little or as much effort as you want in to your mark business! Never pressure to sell a day in your life, and still keep your rep status! You set your hours, you set your pay!

10.Is there a fee for your Eboutique?
          No!! Its FREE! You will get your own URL to have customers shop through with never a cost to you!

So what are you waiting for?!! You have nothing to lose with mark. Even your starter kit, that cost only $20, will get you products worth $70! And right now there is a bonus gift of $20 just for signing up!! As if that isnt enough, you can earn another $30+ in bonus gifts from your mentor just by placing your first $30 order in your first active magalog!! Free Eboutique, No Quota's , No dealines for orders, Discount for life!!!

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask! If you sign up with me, I will always be here to help you with anything you need! Im not going to abandon you plus you will have the support of your mentor and be added to the TOP selling team across the nation!

Mark Eyes / Mascara

2011-08-14T18:49:00.000-07:00

Are you like me? When I first came across mark. there was so many things to look at on the Eboutique! I would have multiply windows open to compare the products , sizes , colors and prices! So I got the idea of breaking down the products to make it a little easier to compare. I have already covered Foundations and Concealers , Powders , Cheeks and Eyeliners! And today I will be doing Mascaras!

MASCARA

Make It Big

LASH PLUMPING MASCARA

MASCARA TIPS!

MOST IMPORTANTLY REMEMBER: Your mascara should be switched out every 3 months! With each use, the wand picks up germs and makes a bacteria breeding ground! Be safe and switch yours!

#2: Don't pump your wand in and out. This allows air into the tube and will dry your mascara out! Try turning the wand inside the tube before pulling it out!

#3: Don't add water to your mascara! This will also make it more acceptable for bacteria to grow. If you want to try to make it less clumpy, try running it under some hot water for a minute, or add it to water at a low boil to make it as good as new!

Stop by my Eboutique to pick up these great mascaras! My favorite, hands down, is the Lash All You Want!

BLUSH CAN BE SWEET, SULTRY OR DOWNRIGHT DARING. FROM PRETTY PINKS TO BRONZY BEIGES, THE COLOR YOU SWEEP ON SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOU. WHILE YOUR LOOK MAY CHANGE WITH YOUR MOOD, THERE ARE ALWAYS A FEW RULES TO FOLLOW. SO GET READY TO BRUSH UP ON YOUR BLUSHES AND BRONZERS—IT’S TIME TO GET CHEEKY.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE BEST SHADES?

First, choose a matte, shimmer, cream or gel formula. Each one creates a different effect. Depending on your look and lifestyle, your preference may change. Next, select your colors. For skin tones that are very pink or red, choose warmer-toned shades. Layer to desired intensity to reach a natural, healthy flush. Brighter shades may act as highlighters and deeper ones as contour shades. Remember, the key to good makeup is making certain that your lip and cheek colors are in harmony. Both should be in either warm or cool tones.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC TECHNIQUES OF CHEEK APPLICATION?

Blush should be applied to the apples of the cheeks and brushed back for a modern glow. To find the apples of your cheeks, smile and apply color to the most prominent part of your cheek. The mark. brushes designed to apply blush are the blush + bronzer brush and the angled contour face brush. For a controlled dusting of color across the cheeks or face, use the blush + bronzer brush.
