Mark Fragrance Pencils Review
Disclaimer: The Mark Fragrance Pencils Review used in this review were sent to me For consideration. All opinions are my own.
While poking through the latest mark catalog I saw these pencils. I thought the packaging was pretty and that it was probably an eye liner or maybe a lip stain.
Wrong!
These are Mark's fragrance pencils. I've never seen anything like them(please correct me if I'm wrong.)
The pencils themselves reveal a clear gel like tip.
Mark Fragrance Pencils Review
The holiday set comes with 4 scents:
1. Very Sassy
Notes: Black currant, floral yellow jasmine, and earthy musk. It is a clean slighly tart citrus scent to me. It makes you smell nice, without being too strong.
2. Jewel
Notes: Lily,Vanilla, Caramel
This was my favorite of the 4. Is is a fruity sweet scent that reminds me of Viva La Juicy.
3. Celebrate
Notes:Citrus,Plum, Jasmine and Lily of the Valley
Celebrate is a seductive fruity floral.
4. Jewel Shine
Notes: Bergamot,Gardenia, and Marshmallow
Jewel is a soft white floral.
Application:
You'll want to "draw" on your pulse points with these. It feels a bit tacky at first but when you rub it in this disappears.
Packaging: I really like the colorful packaging. However, there are 2 things I don't like. One they are really hard to open! You'll want to turn and twist to break this vacuum seal.
Also, one of my pencils had the gel part stuck ½ way up inside. I'm not sure why, but the only option is to sharpen it to a nub. 🙁
Overall, this set is a great way to try out Mark's perfumes. I also think it'd be a great gift. You could always open it up and toss 1 in each of your bestie's gift bags.
Which scent do you think you'd like best? Have you ever tried a perfume pencil?
Desperately need to know how to get the fragrance pushed, sharpened, twisted up out of the packaging!! I have Vanilla Creme Mark hit scent, and haven't used it in about 3 months because I can't figure it out! HELP!!!
So sorry AimeeBeth these are long gone from my house. Have you tried their customer service?
Aimeebeth,
Have you figured out how to advance the fragrance? I am having the same problem.
How do you sharpen them though?
Hi Lanie,
They twist up! No sharpening needed.
How do they twist ? I've been messing with these things for over an hour and I don't get it
It's been a long time since I used these, I'm sorry I don't remember! Hope you can figure it out! 🙂
It does need to be sharpened. It feels like plastic but it isn't. It does however require a really fat sharpener, or you can do what I done, use a knife to shave it down to fit a common fat sharpener lol. If that makes sense.
I've never heard of these before. Thanks for the review -- going to put this on my list of things I have to have!
These seem like they would be great for travel. I ruined several perfume bottles when traveling because they leaked all over my suitcase resulting in a waste of good perfume and extra laundry.
I though these are colored liners only.. quite innovative pacakgingg for a fragrance!! :D:D
These things are crazy! Crazy cool. Did these fragrances stick around?
Hi Natalie,
They did okay around 4-5 hours.
These are so unique. Jewel sounds like it would smell amazing!
Those are quite unique..haven´t seen anything like it either! They´re cute though..if the scent is good, why not 🙂
yes! anthro had some, based on books i think? like locations in books? so i love the convenience of these!
What a cool idea! -book nerd-
This is so handy to carry around in a bag!
I've never even heard of anything like this before. :p
