Meeting mark.

I finally met mark! And yes, I am thoroughly in love.

I had the chance a win a discount off my purchase, plus samples, plus more, and decided that maybe it was time to try this company I'd been eyeing.

Here's just a taste of my spoils. 

Tons of samples from our giveaway sponsor and party hostess, Ali Strasser Independent mark. representative, including skin and body care, perfume, eye shadow and lip products.

I also bought 2 purses: one, a smaller, over-the-shoulder studded black bag, and the ZipAround Bag in Stone. The coolest part about this bag is that it has zippers at the bottom that you unzip to make the purse bigger--if you buy more than you meant to, perhaps, or want it to double as an overnight bag. The bag also comes in Cerulean Blue, which I had a hard time passing up!

I decided to start carefully with the makeup (I'd be receiving samples, after all), and chose the Lip Stain in Lolli, after reading extensive reviews on the website about what other people thought of the color; how it looked on them, etc.

mark. always has a special or two going on for its customers! Besides getting the Zip Around Bag at a special prize, I also received a free necklace.

I couldn't pass up a set of 2 gorgeous thin, lacy scarves--one in black; one in dark plum. They help lengthen my large upper body, and I love knowing that the plum will match most black things I wear, and the black will match everything else.

If you love mark. products, too--or if you'd like to discover them for the first time--you're in luck!

I don't throw parties often, but when I do...they're spectacular! Join me in discovering the makeup, purses, jewelry, clothes and accessories from mark. with Ali Strasser Independent mark representative. RSVP for all the details!
