With mark. that is!! Now I’m not much of a traveller – not because I don’t WANT to travel but it’s partly due to lack of funds, lack of time and my need to make sure I’m not going to hate the place I’m visiting LOL! Nothing is worse than having a bad vacation am I right?
The new Ibiza collection by mark intrigued me and when I googled Ibiza Spain I quickly found out it was named “undisputed party capital of the world“. So…Ibiza is definitely NOT for me :P.
There are a few items I tried from the Limited Edition Ibiza set:
mark Ibiza Sol Instant Vacation Fragrance
I usually like mark Fragrances but I have to admit, this one gave me a headache 🙁 It sounded promising – “notes of honeysuckle, pear, white geranium and musk” but every time a take a whiff I feel a tinge of a headache coming on.

Swatches from different areas of the stick
I blended this stick all over my lid then used a darker shadow in my crease and in the outer corner.
This shadow stick surprisingly didn’t crease on me. Although, note that I DID use an eye primer.
mark Ibiza Sol marbleized lip gloss in chica coral
^it looks kind of peachy on my hand^
This is how it looked on my lips – weird huh?
My lips are pretty pink on their own though, so this could be the reason for the colour looking so different. Either way, I really like this gloss. I’ve actually been wearing it everyday on its own or layered over a soft pink lipstick.

Here’s the brush that it comes with.
I never use these brushes. I find they pick up too much powder and kind of “cut” the pan and they don’t distribute the colour properly onto my cheeks. I just opted for my regular blush brush for application.
Swatches of the three colours individually
All blended together – not sure if you can make it out but there is a subtle shimmery “glow”
Here’s the colour on my cheeks
I actually liked how this turned out. I’m not really a bronzer type of girl, but this one I liked. At first I was worried that it would be too shimmery for me, but I was pleasantly surprised.
And the overall look
OH I love this look on you! I have the Ibiza fragrance and <3 it. I am contemplating the shadow stick....but wondering if I am just buying it because it looks so lovely!
You look SO gorgeous! I def think the lip gloss looks beautiful on you, especially since you have already pink lips! It totally enhances your features more 😀
I just discovered your blog through A Fine Balance and am now following. I experiment more with clothes than makeup so I’m hoping to pick up some tips! And I’ve learned what modal is – one of those things I always wondered about.

You look great. I cant wait to get my Ibiza set this week…I hope it smells nice.
I have never heard of this brand before. I like the way you presented it. I’ve been to ibiza and it’s crazy there!!!

Great review. I love MARK makeup. I’ve never tried any of these products before though. I really like the colour of the lip gloss.
Ok where do I begin?
I LOVE this makeup on you. The eyeshadow — gorgeous, the gloss —- so purrrrtyyy, the bronzer — subtle, just the way I like and that necklace is sooo cute!!!
Take me to Ibiza, anytime! XOXO
The illuminating powder is nice and I love what you’ve done with your eyes!
@Elle
Thanks Elle! I love playing with makeup – experimenting is fun and fairly inexpensive compared to our clothes shopping habits LOL!
@CeeThanks Cee! I’ll be doing an outfit post featuring that necklace soon 😉
@SewPetiteGal Thanks SPG! I wish I could do makeup tutorials but it’s sooo hard to take pictures of makeup (for me anyway) and there’s NO WAY I’m doing a video 😛
@aki!Thanks so much for your comment! Ummm yeah, Ibiza totally not for me 😛
@theresa It’s really, really pretty! Let me know if you pick up and tell me what you think!
@The Little Dust Princess I think the lip colour would look really pretty on you Jessy 🙂
Haven’t tried any, but I like the lip colour 😀
I love the illuminating powder!! It looks great. Wow you make me wanna get it now.
All of these products look pretty great. That stick is a rather interesting product.
But, I’m sure I wouldn’t want to go to Ibiza either.

I LOVE that gloss on you – it is such a perfectly pink color! Also did a wonderful job with your eyes (I’m so clueless about makeup application!)!
Makeup is the bane of my existence. I don’t have to be a fan to comment on the pretty colors and pictures, right? 🙂 I think the blue eyeshadow looks gorgeous on you — especially paired with that necklace!
Thanks for the super thorough review!
I really want to try the powder now…but I guess I should hold off on buying more makeup because I so rarely wear it. I’ll be living vicariously through you. 🙂
p.s. I really like blue eye stuff on you!
