Neutrals Are A Girls Best Friend.

It should be no surprise to you by now that I obviously am a Neutral fiend (and not just with Taupes...though they are my favorite!). I am also kinda crazy about Mark eyeshadows, I've been collecting these for quite a while and didn't realize that I had so many neutral shades! So I'm here to share with you some photos and swatches :) I have been nothing but pleased when it comes to Marks color selection (I can't really seem to find other colors like these from other brands), quality and price ($4!!!).


First Row: Tough Luxe, Wings, Gioia, Biscotti
Second Row: Tiki, Magic, Bambi, Nomadic

Java, Wink Wink, Minx, Whisper


Swatches: Java, Wink Wink, Minx, Whisper

For some reason these photographed a bit on the warm side. The set of shadows in the 4 pan is what I've been using lately for work. Java, I think, is my absolute favorite. It's a deep shimmery chocolate brown shade with just a hint of plum, I like to use it wet as a liner, or for more drama, use it in the outter crease. Wink Wink is one of the newest matte finish shades. It's the perfect crease shade for the office. Minx is a wonderful taupe, and of course I'm absolutely crazy about it. The last shade, Whisper, is also one of the newest shades. It's supposed to be a matte shade, but it has a tiny bit of shimmer, so it's not at all harsh for the office.

I have a BIG post coming up highlighting all the new awesome goodies that have recently hit the drugstores :) Stay tuned!

Ooiie! Minx had my heart stopping a beat! Thank you for all the swatches! (Dang, they really are that pigmented?)

Looking forward to the new post!
