Eye Real Estate 101.

I have received a few emails of late asking about some of the many makeup placement terms used when describing the whereabouts and the why for of eye makeup artistry, which instantly reminded me of a Beauty Marked! post of yore that may just do the trick when it comes to explaining some of the terms often bantered about when it comes to all things eye makeup: If You’re Going To Walk The Walk. Hope this helps a bit when your talking your beautiFULL talk.

Please Don’t Make A Spectacle.


A little left of centre perhaps, but being your good grooming guru that we love to be, Beauty Marked! just wanted to give a gentle reminder to those who may not be in the know when it comes to all things etiquette apropos of sunglasses. De-spectacle oneself when inside, because even as fabulous as many sunnies of the season may be, they really should be cased when indoors as to not risk looking a tad wannabe or disrespectful. Be mindful of transition lenses as well as they can have a similar effect. Also, when attending a work meeting, even if outdoors and if the sun seems exceedingly brilliant, do go sans sunglasses. Although it wouldn’t ever be your intention, sunglasses at a meeting can come across somewhat untrustworthy, a bit posey, and disinterested. Let them see your eyes and really get to know how genuine you most certainly are. Other than the aforementioned, it is absolutely fine to make an utterly gorgeous spectacle of yourself and we most certainly hope that you do.

Pleasant Surprises!

Nothing more to this Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked! post, but to share how much pleasant surprises can mean. Pleasant surprises are welcomed and often spontaneous Random Acts of Beauty (RABs) that, absolutely, can make someone’s day. It’s amazing how one generally appreciates little thoughtful gifts and simple gracious gestures from another that weren’t anticipated. Delivery and receipt of such “out of the blue” delectable delights, like a heartfelt compliment, a token cadeau, or even that perfect cup of coffee or tea can be so precious to the unsuspecting. Pleasant surprises create the most gorgeous and far-reaching ripple effect that can end up moving and inspiring more than you ever imagined…including your lovely self! So, Go For It and, most importantly, enjoy it!

Just Too Cool.

L’Occitane has recently released 3 trés cool additions to its Verbena Harvest range and all with L’Occitane’s prized organic verbena extract. L’Occitane is proud to introduce you to: Cooling Powdered Foot Gel, Cooling Mousse For Tired Legs, and Cooling Deodorant Stick. This luxe trio is sure to keep you in great step in the warmer months and beyond.

Cooling Powdered Foot Gel With its amazingly novel and appreciated formulation aside, the organic verbena extract and invigorating, yet not-too-minty mint essential oil are able to transform a steamy, uncomfortable pedal predicament into a cool, refreshing, purified, and sensational situation for the soles. Cooling Powdered Foot Gel also contains antimicrobial sage essential oil and absorbent tapioca powder. What Beauty Marked! particularly loves about this all-star line-up of ingredients in this considerate formulation is that it not only manages to sort out your feet, but leaves them aptly treated without the greasy finish. Your feet are left revitalized and feeling silky.

Cooling Mousse For Tired Legs This lightweight mousse increases circulation and eases the tired sensation of weary legs. The mousse transforms into an icy cool liquid upon application, which delivers the perfect amount of menthol, organic verbena extract, and cyprus essential oil to perk-up your pins.

Cooling Deodorant Stick Seeing that your legs and feet are now sorted, why not go for pole position after making a pit stop with L’Occitane’s fast drying, mint and sage essential oil enriched, and alcohol, aluminum salt-free stick deodorant? Cooling Deodorant Stick is infused with the delicate and long-lasting perfume of organic verbena, which leaves us well placed to confidently glide through the day. We love that!

L’Occitane Verbena Harvest is available from all L’Occitane boutiques nationwide and is…just too cool!
