The compact in the picture is mark's min-a-real foundation. I swear by it! I'm very, very picky when it comes to foundation and for years I only wore Mary Kay because I couldn't find anything else that gave me the coverage I was looking for without being too overpriced. So when mark introduced min-a-real I took a chance on it, and I'm glad I did! It's all I've worn ever since! Just a little bit goes a long way, and now they have a wider shade range - so it really is perfect for anyone! (I'm currently wearing it in shade Light-Medium 5.) I despise powder, so my favorite thing about this foundation is that it's a cream-to-powder formula, so no loose powder needed!
The item right below the foundation is mark's Just Blushing powder blush in the Lovespell shade. I used it today and really liked the color and how well it blended with my skin tone.
Next, I purchased two new shadow shades for Fall. They're actually both from mark's new line of wet/dry shadows and both are matte. The brown color is called Tabac, and the gray color is called Storming. I used Storming today and loved it! A lot of shadows don't seem to have much pigment to them, but I could definitely tell a difference with this one. I used it as a dry shadow - but I am sure when used wet it's an even better pop of color!
And finally, I was in search of a nice neutral lipstick for Fall, so I went with mark's Lipclick in Sweetie Pie. My lips are naturally really red, so I try to tone them down a bit with neutral or darker shades. I'm not a big fan of bright lipsticks, so this one really fits me well. It has a pink tint but it's not over the top. A cool tidbit about these - they get their name "Lipclicks" because the tube is actually magnetic, so the lid pops right on every time. No more open lipstick tubes ruining the inside of your purse!
That's all I bought this time around - but I do have much more on my to-buy list for Fall. If you're interested in receiving a current magalog, just let me know. I have lots of them in-hand! You can also view one online at my eBoutique.
Thanks for reading!
