Have a Heart

I just wanted to do a quick post about some pretty amazing products from  m.powerment by Mark Makeup.  Here is a brief description from meetmark.com : 

"Lauren Conrad has teamed up with mark to launch the m.powerment campaign, a philanthropic initiative committed to breaking the cycle of  dating abuse and partner violence.  Women 16-24 experience the highest rates of partner violence and Mark wants to change that statistic.  Lauren will serve as the first Honorary Co-Chair of an expert panel to select and fund up to five outstanding organizations that are making strides in ending abuse in dating relationships."

Doesn't that sound like an amazing campaign?  Click here to see a video about the cause.  

Mark Makeup offers three items that you can purchase that supports this cause.  100% of the net proceeds will be donated to m.powerment!  

Check these out:

The Have a Heart Necklace $22.00:

Front design: Flower
Back design: Heart

The Have a Heart Bracelet $12.00:

 The Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss in m.powerment

Glistening shine, sheer color and minty freshness all in one. Lips stay smooth and moisturized, with a slick and sexy finish. *Hook up products: packaged in a convenient mini vial. Applicator included in cap. 0.12 oz. net wt.

Close to $250,000 has been raised and awarded to outstanding organizations that are making strides to break the cycle.  Click here to check out the 7 grant recipients.  There are some pretty amazing organizations posted there.

I thought my lovely followers would be interested in this cause.  For hardly any money we can all support this campaign to help put a stop to these terrible statistics.  Not interested in the jewelry or the lipgloss, but still want to help support this campaign?  Click here to donate.  Who knows some of you could unfortunately be a girl in need.  If so I'm here via email if you ever need to chat!  And here are some links that will offer you support as well.

I just think Lauren Conrad along with Mark makeup has realized there's a need for a change, and is stepping up to do something about it, which is fantastic.  And since girls ages 16-24 experience the highest rate, it seems smart that they would use makeup and jewelry, something that we all buy, to help support this cause.  What do you think about m.powerment?  

Anyway, I hope you girls are having a wonderful weekend!

How To Pull of the Biker Look

You want to appear tough, edgy, and cool. Guys might find this look mysterious and sexy.

Key items to consider wearing:

1. Leather jacket or metallic bomber jacket

(as seen on Audrina above)

Audrina seems to be in love with the leather jacket look! She pulls of the biker chick style quite beautifully! I think maybe she got into that whole look because when she was dating rough boy Justin Bobby....Thankfully those days of her being with him are over! Ick!

2. Black boots

The jeans/pants being tucked into the tough looking style black boots look great!

Also the pants having some tares here and there works well too!

3. gold or silver jewelry, also think about studded jewelry

These Dual Jewel Trim Rings from Forever 21 for only $5.80 would work great with this look!

4. Black eyeliner or embrace the smoky eye look

This is a great liquid eyeliner from Mark Makeup! It's only $5.50 and trust me it's an amazing product!

For your hair: THINK VOLUME!

This Kate Beckinsale hairstyle looks high in volume and sexy! Which looks great with the Biker look!

Well, I hope this helps you all! Don't be afraid to try this look! Anyone can do it, just pick the right time and place to choose to wear this! Most importantly be confident! Have a wonderful day ladies!

Have you ever noticed how Lauren Conrad's eyeliner always looks perfect? Do you know her secret? If not, here it is:

Being the spokesperson for Mark Makeup has it's perks, free makeup!! Oh, how I would love that job! Anyway, so she has said she wears on the edge hook up liquid eyeliner in cleo. I have this eyeliner, it is indeed heavenly! Before purchasing this product I had never owned liquid eyeliner before. I was inspired by Lauren's makeup on The Hills, to give it a try. I actually just had to reorder another one since I ran out of it! It's amazing! It goes on smoothly and is so easy! Even if you are makeup impaired you can do this! lol The results are fabulous!! I would suggest this product to anyone! You can't beat the price too! $5.50. When buying another one, again in the shade cleo, I decided to try Medusa, which is a shade of brown, it should be arriving any day now, so I will let you know what I think about that shade.

Below is Mark Makeup's other eyeliner called eyemarker, it isn't a liquid eyeliner, but it too is a great product. They also offer more shades in this type. I own jet, which is black, and I just purchased Lapis, which is a shade of blue! I'm excited to try this color! I haven't bought makeup in a while, so I thought I would treat myself to some new goodies!!! It is also $5.50! You can't beat these prices or the quality! If you are in the market for some new makeup, I highly recommend Mark Makeup! Check out the website!
