Clean Freaks!!

Could this be the end of your searching?

Alright, I figured there is definitely a lack of Mark product reviews on my blog, so I figured I should buy some mark products and give you the scoop on their quality.

First off, for those who don’t know what “Mark” is.

Mark. is the daughter company of Avon featuring, for young woman and woman that still feel or want to feel young—in my experience more people order from Mark than anything else.

The Mark website says, “mark is a network of young women who sell first-to-market, exclusive products-a stylish mix of makeup, skin and body care, unique fragrances and a trend-setting array of accessories. mark is a unique and unprecedented earnings opportunity.“

Notice they don’t mention Avon—they never once mention Avon in any of the web copy either... yeah, i know it says“ Copyright © 2009 Avon Products, Inc.“ At the bottom of the page, but that’s not really the same thing. I find it weird... in like a secretive misleading way, But anyway...

I opened the Mark catalogue and immediately wanted everything I saw!

The catalogue is thin. There aren’t a lot of products but the little amount of products that they offer are totally awesome--I want it all. The fashion looks so much cooler than what you would expect from Avon. A friend bought a dark blue dress the other day and it’s so adorable!

I ended up buying a cleanser for my skin and some other products that I will review another time—hehe.

The cleanser I bought was the “That’s Deep – Purifying Gel Cleanser“: with sugar maple and black willow bark” from the “Super Fruits and Super Foods” line.

When I got the cleanser two-weeks ago I was very happy about the appearance—I’m a sucker for packaging and the whole packaging looks simple and clean—Very modern. It looks very girly, like something you would see in a beauty salon--I don’t have to hide it. Finally something I can leave right with my other pretty looking packages on the sink. That’s an honor! hehe. (my husband really appreciates that— hey, it looks better than his shaving cream!)

Quick product Info:

The “That’s Deep – Purifying Gel Cleanser” is a fresh, soap free cleanser that washes away pore clogging make-up, dirt and oil without stripping away moisture.

I’ll be the Judge of That!

I’ve used the cleanser for almost two weeks now and I have to say that I am satisfied with it--not blown away, but it is a pretty good product.

Its smell isn’t too intense--not as strong as most of its competition. I actually felt safe that it was not going to burn when I applied it.

Sometimes the strong smell of cleansers makes me scared—like when they smell like poison, they can sometimes burn my skin.

It made my skin soft, but after a week and a half, I broke out and I was not very happy about it. One thing that I love about my skin is that I really rarely get pimples, I think I could even count the amount of pimples I had in my life. It must be under 10. So it was kinda weird when I found this pimple right there over my lip (very attractive). It could be a coincidence, I heard that sometimes when you use a new cleanser you can like get pimples, so I’m gonna let that slide for now.

Anyway besides that I am happy with this product and I will keep using it as long as I don’t continue to break out. Because I really like the other side effects of this product--It didn’t dry my skin out and It was all soft and just seemed full of energy.
