The eyes have it - Eyeshadow gifts!

Hello all, I got some more exciting mail to share with you!  This package arrived compliments of the ladies, Lisamarie and Christelle, over at Beautycrazed.ca.  If you aren't familiar with their blog you have to check it out.  Not only do they write some of the funniest beauty posts I've ever read (Excerpt from a recent post "So when The Body Shop asked me what I would think about making it a quickie? I was game, and then I realized they were talking about a shower") But they also offer previews of product launches & truly informative reviews along with some great giveaways.  And that's where this little beauty comes in; 

Oh hello large package overflowing with beauty products!  I happened to win one of their
recent giveaways & this little baby was chock full of the prizes.  What was in it you ask? (Or perhaps you're saying just get on with it already)

So what is in the box?  That's right, eyeshadows baby...just take a look at this prize.  

Wow, right?  As the ladies said in the giveaway post which you can read here, only $150 of shadowy goodness! From their blog this is a description of what I won: 


L'Oréal Studio Secrets Color Smokes Eye Shadow in Forest Smokes for green eyes, Cobalt Smokes for blue eyes, Lavender Smokes for brown eyes and Blackened Smokes for all eyes.
Maybelline EyeStudio Quad in Pink Persuasion and Duo in Khaki Craze
Marcelle Graphic Eyeshadow Quad in Dimensional Blues
Annabelle Eyeshadow Trio in Grafix
mark. Celestial Eyes Shimmery Cream Shadow in Grey Storm
Avon 12-in-1 Eye Palette
Barry M Trio Eyeshadow 040 Greys
Sephora  Eyeshadow Single in Preppy Look No 41
Hard Candy Duo in Blind Date
Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mono Eye Shadow in 120 Urban Green


So here's the deal.  This post isn't just about look what I won, as fun as that can be, this is also about you.  


Once I saw the prize I thought there is no way with my current stash, that I'll be able to fully use all of these.  There are a number of you that are loyal friends to me and my blog, and I'd love to share my prize with you.  So this is what I thought.  

Everyone who comments on this post by Tuesday April 26th at midnight MST gets an entry, perhaps telling me which shadows you would most like to try.  

Also anyone who has left a comment on any blog post since my last giveaway was announced & leaves a comment here, gets an automatic additional entry.  

I'll then use random.org again to pick a winner & I'll send you some of these shadows along with one of my very favourite eye shadow brushes from ELF.   

Hopefully this little impromptu giveaway works out the way I intend.  So good luck to everyone, thanks for all your continued support and here's to free eyeshadow courtesy of the great & funny ladies at Beautycrazed.ca!

Friday's Fabulous Find - Giveaway update!

What a day I had last week Wednesday, you have no idea how much I needed some good news.  So I turned to something that usually brightens my day, reading beauty blogs.  I clicked on one of my regular blogs Productrater.blogspot.com, written by the lovely Justine and saw that I had won her contest for a $20 Sigma gift card!  If you're not familiar with Justine's blog, you must check it out.  She is a Canadian blogger who does everything, product reviews both high end and drugstore, hauls, monthly favourites and she takes some of the best swatch photos you'll ever see.  


That turned my day around!  Some of you will remember that I received some Sigma brushes for Christmas from the generous Mr. J.  I have been loving my Sigma Sigmax brushes & my Naughty in Black travel kit (which I need to review soon), but since getting them I've been eyeing up a few others that I convinced myself I needed. 


Anyway, I was hoping that I get could some input on what to buy. Is this obnoxious?  I hope it isn't taken that way as it's truly not my intention.  I have a few picked out & will likely get two of them, just paying for the difference.  Here are the ones I'm deciding between; 


1. Hollywood Glamour retractable kabuki - Red

I thought this would be great for mineral makeup when travelling.  This is regular $25 but is on sale for $18.75 right now.


2. Small contour - F05

This is supposed to be ideal for applying, blending or contouring powder products.  I thought it would be awesome to use for highlighting powders.  $14


3.  Tapered Highlighter - F25

Large domed brush with tapered tip, ideal for applying powder products, blush and highlighters.  Michelle1218 (for those familiar with youtube beauty channels) just had this brush in her February favourites, she uses it for contouring and loves it.  $19


4. Buffer - F45

Ideal for loose or pressed powders, also great for buffing in colours.  I use a face kabuki from ELF almost everyday, so I was kind of curious to try another brand.  $19


I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions before I place my order!  


Also, just a quick giveaway update.  I am excited to have gotten such a great response to my giveaway, if you haven't already entered you can do so here.  Having said that I'm not going to have a lot of access to a computer this weekend.  So you may not see your entry comment published right away but I promise I'll get to it as soon as I can.  Thanks for your patience and have a great weekend!
