EWP Giveaway!

Yesterday I got this GIANT box in the mail. [the sandal is in there to give you a sense of scale]

I opened it up and saw this:

It was Cover Girl's new smoky eye line!

But that wasn't all. Underneath the makeup kits was a chair from Pier 1 Imports. Seriously, an entire full-sized chair.

I looked it up on Pier 1's website, and it's $50. Y'all, Cover Girl sent me a $50 chair. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it though...

And of course there was a mirror to ensure flawless makeup application.

And handy dandy instructions.

And lots and lots of makeup. There are THREE lash blast mascaras

3 different colors of smoky shadow blast

And 3 liners.

I decided I didn't need to use all the makeup and would just use one and give two sets away to two of my faithful readers.

So I grabbed the "glamorous" smoky eye set and followed the instructions and this is what I got:

I only did one eye so you can see a comparison with just my plain eye.

In all honesty, the smudge stick did get the smoky eye effect it advertised, but I just don't like creamy eyeshadow. I like a nice powder eyeshadow, my eyelids have a lot of natural grease going on and I know a cream shadow is going to melt off within 30 mintues. So I'm not sure I'll be using the eyeshadow again only for that reason. The mascara, however, was great. And my only complaint about the liner is that it wasn't for a brown girl. It was this light brown color that just blended in with my eyelid, and didn't create the "glamorous" dramatic look Cover Girl was advertising. Black would have worked much better for me.

And now for the fun part: the giveaway! I will be choosing THREE lucky winners this week. One will receive the Cover Girl natural smoky makeup set (brown tones), one will receive the Cover Girl bold smoky eye makeup set (blue tones), and one reader will win a $20 WalMart gift card.

Each makeup set contains the CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast, LineExact Liquid Liner and LashBlast Volume-Blasting Mascara.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment and let me know which prize you want - do you want a natural look? do you want to be bold? do you want to go to WalMart? Just let me know!

This was a compensated review and giveaway. CoverGirl provided me with the CoverGirl Smoky Eye kit, information, and Walmart gift card to giveaway through MyBlogSpark.
