My November Ipsy (my Glam) bag

Hello:

Today I got my Ipsy (formerly My Glam) subscription.  I have to say I am always impressed with what I get!  This month's theme was "Party Perfect" :
oooh look at all the goodies!
 
This month's bag is a chocolate brown bag with gold accents - cute!
Inside:
  • bareMinerals Marvelous Lipgloss in DareDevil
It's a very pretty plum pink color, it's a bit sticky but a perfect purse size
 
  • Starlet Cosmetics Eyeliner in "chocolate" (I have never heard of this brand before):
This pencil looked like it would be hard at first glance but it is soft and creamy and because you can sharpen it you can get a nice defined line- it is also full size Score!

  • Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire:
Lovely!  This will add gorgeous sparkle to any polish
  • the Balm Meet Matt(e) eyeshadow in Matt Batali:
It looks a bit chalky in the picture but it's much improved over primer.  And it's a dark brown with redish undertones, making it a great crease color for green eyed gals like me!

I also got an eyebrow defining gel from Chella - I didn't take up close pictures because it's clear!  I was very excited because I was just looking for a new brow gel!  Again I think this was a great bag of products for only $10  (I estimate the value to be about $40)! 
 I also got a coupon for $20 at Justfab. Have any of you tried Justfab?

Eye on the Prize!

Hello!

Once upon a time the lovely ladies at WyoSparkles one of my favorite beauty blogs, hosted a giveaway when they reached their 100 follower mark.  And I won!  YEA YEA YEA.  And oh did I win some awesome stuff:

The lovely prizes and Chocolates!

 
First up - an amazing box o' polish from Hard Candy!
This inspired me to try some nail art, I want to use the baby blue for the background for snowflakes and a red glitter accent nail. Also the "brown" is so luxe looking!

And here's the literal "Rockstar" of it all:

Ahhhhhh it the Balm-Jovi palette from the Balm!!!! 

It's got everything - shimmer shadow, matteshadow, metallic shadow, highlighter, blush and 2 lip colors! Check out the lovely shades:g -

And the NAMES!!
Needless to say I was so excited and thankful to J&K @Wyosparkles for the amazing giveaway gift.  It will be used and loved and hopefully I can get a shot of my nail art up soon!

Have you ever won a giveaway?  What are your favorite types of give-aways?
