mark. Look: On.TheDot.*Go-To* Look

I have a certain GO-TO look when it comes to using my mark. On The Dot[original] Color Palette!
I am completely obsessed with it and have no problem admitting it =]

Plus for $16 you get a full palette of high-pigment shadows [ you would pay ATLEAST that for one shadow @ Mac or Sephora]. The quality is great and for those women out that who want a sassy but classy look- this is the ultimate day-to-night collection!

The photos were taken with my iPhone in my car, so the quality is not the most amazing, but the colors in this palette have such a POP about them that they look good with ANY camera!

Okay, so first things first:
Everyday for the past year, immediately after the shower- I moisturize my face with with my clean & clear lotion(to keep my skin blemish free) and my mark.Get A Tint- Tinted moisturizer w/ SPF 15 in Ivory/Nude($12). Which actually reminds me I am close to the end of my tube & need to reoder!  Ladies- it is SUPER important to use SPF daily- espec. on your face!







Once I am moisturized and the lotion combo has dried, I apply my mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder- I don't use concealer or foundations because they hide my freckles and those are a big part of my face! Why hide something so cute!


So, once my GlowDacious is applied, I use a touch of my mark. Good Glowing Blush in Kitten Glow[$8] for a light pink touch to my cheek bones! You dont need much because Glowdacious is pretty much- a full service blush/bronzer!

With my mark. Go With The Pro mini brush set ($16)- Shadow brush, I apply the On.The Dot White (first on top left) to my upper brow bone/highlight and my inner lid. This provides a nice highlight to brighten up the deeper colors of this look.

The purple[3rd row, 3rd shade], blue[2nd row, 2nd shade] and turquoise [3rd row, 2nd shade]shades are applied to my outter lid, mid-lid and upper crease. Using my Angled Contour Eye Shadow Brush (Full Size $8), I smudge each color somewhat into the other to blend the shades.

I then used my mark. Flat Eye Liner Brush to apply the blue & purple shade to my inner and outter lower lash lines for extra flare!

Yummy Time: Banana-Oatmeal-Bread

This week has been absolutely insane to say the least. I have been swamped at work, donated blood[oh yeah!]and have been doubling up on gym classes in prep for my cousins wedding & our family vay-cay! [August 15th I cannot wait for your arrival!]

To ease my anxiety, I like to look for new & healthy receipes for my friends & I to enjoy.

Recently, I was sitting at home and realized I had some slighty-over-ripe bananas!
I live on a budget and refuse to toss anything that can still be used!

Turns out, those three[over-ripe] bananas are EXACTLY what my Banana-Oat Bread[Weight Watchers] Recipe called for!

Your Ingredients should include:
All Purpose Flour[ 1 and 1/4 Cup]
Brown Sugar[ 1/2 Cup]
Salt[ 1/2 Tsp -Table Salt is fine]
Baking Powder[ 1/4 tsp]
Baking Soda [1/2 tsp]
Canola Oil [ 3 tsp]
3 Lrg Eggs[ 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites]
3 RIPE Bananas
Uncooked Old Fashioned Oats[ 1 Cup]
Servings: 10
Points +: 5

Now I used a small loaf pan & this recipe resulted in two Banana- Oatmeal Bread loaves.
It cut into 18-20 pieces so this [per my opinion] is about 3 points per serving as opposed to 5 points for a larger slice.

**Additional Note: The WW recipe uses a larger pan to make a loaf that cuts into 10 equally sized servings. Their recipe calls for a 40-45 minute cooking time/ or until top of loaf is firm.

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe. I cannot take credit for it since I got it from Weight Watchers, but it definitely a good one to share with your family!

Enjoy<3

Playing Catch.Up

 Today was quite the day! Happy to say that I have been catching up on all the new mark. products, new recipes and my DVR. haha! It has taken me some time but this week was definitely productive in terms of catching up. 

I am prepping for my big summer vacation in August and cannot wait!

I celebrated my 25th birthday last week [July 5th] and it was definitely an interesting one.

The fourth of July was celebrated at Morgans Park, in Glen Cove, NY and we got to watch them right on the Long Island Sound. They were beautiful and we could actually see the fireworks from the other boroughs and upstate NY.

Thursday for my birthday was spent at Jones Beach in Wantagh. That was an interesting time...

Saturday night we went to BarNone in Manhattan... I love this place, but was very disappointed when they told me they no longer served 'Fishbowls'... I was looking forward to one of these for my big 2-5!
