When it comes to blogging, there are no rules!

You often hear bloggers say, “I turn down 99% of collaborations/gifts/etc that I’m offered” and it’s like, “cool, tell us who… tell us why!”

I understand not everyone wants to talk about it, but it’s almost taboo!!

So, I know I certainly would’ve liked a a blog post or two to read about the BTS so that I didn’t feel so clueless or alone in some situations.

Last week I shared the BTS of my gifted products from Subi.

This week I want to share with you about Maarks Lip.

You definitely know this brand. They are sooooooo “Instagrammable”!!

They are a Melbourne based company who create five shades of lip products designed to suit everyone and they offer monogramming on their products. Cute!!!

I really wanted to get my hands on a lippie, so I messaged Maarks on IG and asked if they had any discount codes. The intention was to get a discount code and share it with you, my lovely followers!

The Maarks team got back to me super fast and said they didn’t have a discount code but that they would offer me a free lipstick if I placed an order.

I was excited!

So I bought the shades “Blush” and “Bare”, and asked for “Rouge” to be gifted to me.

Th products arrived in the gorgeous, chic Maarks packaging and in perfect condition, except one.

The shade “Blush” wasn’t quite right, the actual bullet seemed to have been dislodged and so I couldn’t twist it up or down to be used.

I message Maarks about this, and sent them a video demonstrating the issue.

No questions asked, they promised to send me out a replacement.

And sure enough, a few days later it arrived!

Their customer service was incredible. And I was so grateful to them for both the gift and how they dealt with my complaint.

I felt bad having to tell them about the issue, but I was a paying customer and ultimately deserved a product that wasn’t faulty.

The Maarks team were absolutely incredible. I truly am so grateful to have experienced such a fantastic shopping experience with them.

I tell you this, not to boast, but to share my experience.

I refuse to put a disclaimer on these posts because it’s my experience, and I am writing honestly to share with you, and demystify the secrecy of blogging.

Please do share any questions in the comments below!

I am hoping to create a series out of this post- which blogger would you like to know about their blogging BTS?
