“Because it’s Tuesday.”
That’s my father-in-law’s answer to almost every question.
“It’s so hot outside,” I’ll tell him. “Why don’t you put on some shorts?”
“Because it’s Tuesday,” he’ll reply, an amused look on his face.
So, taking a page from his book, the reason for today’s giveaway is…”because it’s Tuesday.” 🙂
And just like the clear sky overhead, today’s prize is all about blue.
The Prize
One lucky lady will win MAC’s Dare to Wear Eyeshadow in Zingy ($14 value), a highly pigmented matte sky blue.

What superpower would I like to have? That’s easy: flight! Why? (No, not because it’s Tuesday) I’d love to be able to soar up above the clouds so high, like a diamond in the sky. 🙂 Seriously, I’m not afraid of heights, and I like to go f a s t !

Speaking of flights and sky… zingy is a beautiful blue! I love heights too, and to be able to fly … would be amazing.
Oh I’d love to be able to fly! Or telekinesis, so I could get the tv remote with my mind without having to leave the couch 😛
I have so many teals, but no true blues! I must have zingy…..
I also saw scott pilgrim versus the world today. LOVED IT! it brought me back to my street fighter days…
This website is bad for my bank balance, i’m dying for the MAC venomous villain collection to come out in Australia.
I’d love to be able to read minds!
I would be invisible so I could go anywhere I want! Lol!
My migraine finally went away, yay!
I would be able to morph into other creatures or people… I think I watch too much True Blood. 😛
I’d love to be able to be read people’s minds 🙂 I can be super insensitive at times, and it’s totally something I’d like to improve!
Love this colour 🙂
I’d love to be immortal, or to be able to teleport 😀
I’d love to be able to to fly! More realistically, I’d love to sleep in tomorrow morning! Think we can get Superman to turn back time a few hours so I can get some extra shut-eye? 😉
I would love to teleport so that I wouldn’t have to be stuck in traffic and so that I wouldn’t need
to pay exorbitant plane fares to get to the places i want to be at.
Awesome!
the super power i would like to have the most is definitely TELEPORTATION.
can you imagine? i can breakfast in paris, have lunch in tokyo, enjoy the afternoon in fiji, off to rome for dinner, then enjoy the stars under the grecian sky… *sigh*
callitbeautyblog@gmail.com
Ooh this is pretty too!!!
With great power, comes great responsibility 😀 (I know lame spiderman quote :D) LOL!!! I just can’t choose one, but for sure any super power would be pretty cool to have 😀 hmmm…. wonder what awesome super hero inspired eyes you could do with Mac’s Dare to Wear colletion 😀

I am starting my second semester at college in 5 days! I wish I could teleport so I could spend that extra 5 minutes in bed every morning before 9 am classes.
flying is the superpower i would want most too! flying through the sky with such freedom would be exhilarating
I would want to breathe underwater!
I think invisibility would be an awesome super power to have 😀
I’d like to win every giveaway!
I would love to be an airbender.
(from the cartoon “avatar the last airbender”)
LOVE THAT SHOW
I wanna like teleport or something. So I can be like “Hey, I wonder what Paris is like right nao *snap* Oh hey, look, the Eiffel Tower!”
Oooo! So pretty. I am housesitting all week to save up some money to purchase some the the mac villian collection that’s coming out soon. I think this would be a lovley addition to it!! 🙂
I would like to read minds!
I’d love to be able to read minds!
I’m currently studying photojournalism in college :).
Also, I don’t think reading minds would be the best ability to have, because there’ll be some thoughts you don’t want to hear
I’d like to win every giveaway!!!!
I would love to have the power of flight! If I could fly, I would fly back and forth to Vietnam from California to see my grandparents. I haven’t seen them in over 10 years and I would love having the ability to see them all the time.
I m currently studying Environmental sciences in university
I’m studying Medicine!
i so don’t wanna start school on thursday!!
I love this eyeshadow. Pick me, Please!!
karenar22 at yahoo dot com
I love bright eye shadows. They’re perfect to use with a tiny liner brush to give u that subtle pop of colour on ur lower lashes! 🙂
I’d like to have eidetic (photographic) memory. That would be so cool, I hate forgetting stuff 🙂
Recently, I decided I have to get some matte eyeshadows. I’m so I’m on the hunt for them 😀
Gosh, I’m really craving a good midnight snack right about now
I can’t wait for school to start next month!
If I could have a superpower, it would be invisibility. I’d go to all the live concerts and movies I’d want 🙂
haha i love your “Because it is tuesday!” saying 🙂 Anyways, im so super excited because the bf and i (plus some friends) will be heading on a cruise to mexico in 4 dayss!!!! i’ve never been on one but heard great thingss.. 🙂 cant wait!
I love bright eyeshadow colors! I also love neutral eyeshadow colors. I just love eyeshadow!
*is singing* Oh I wish I was Gerard Butlers pilloooow! 😀
Super power: teleportation. I’d
still probably be late everywhere though!
Its a rainy day today and I so hate it to be at work 🙁 and these colors really brighten my mood 🙂 . I would love to read people minds it would be great power!
I’m liking the bright blue color.
I love bright eyeshadow colors. I believe the first makeup I ever bought with my hard earned money, besides mascara, was MAC’s Painterly Paint Pot in Delft. <3
This color looks like it was meant for me.lol. But seriously I would love to win this, such a nice color
I finally got the MAC 195 after it being out of stock for soooo long! I’m sooo happy!!
i would love to be able to fly!
I don’t have any colour like this. And I usually do not go for bright and matte (like that’s true – I have Red Brick), but anyways…
I sudy on the university to be a teacher in kindergarden and for the youngest in school:)
I wish I could stop time just so I could get enough sleep. 🙂
i love bright colors like this one. it would be so awesome to win it.
I want summer to last longer!
I am studying child development at school! So much fun!
I tottaly hate that we don’t have MAC in our country and I wish I would bought more MAC products when I was in NYC.
Getting a new phone and I can’t pick which one I want. Too many choices! 🙁
I say I’m on the fence about bright colored eyeshadows but I secretly hoard them! I’ve started using teal and purples as an eyeliner above a cat flick!
wow such a pretty color! I’d love to win this 🙂
I’m gonna go cross my fingers and paint them with chanel orange fizz ;D
awesome blue! and can’t wait for winter to be over.
This would be a great color to have! I don’t think I have any bright blues like that but plenty of dark ones!
Today I am feeling like my super power would be the ability to talk to animals. Would very much like to tell Cicero kitty how cute he is and reassure Oberon that if he just lets us know he’s heading out the door after us when we get the mail he won’t get stuck out on the front stoop.
Never won a geveaway… let’s hope this is the first!
I love bright eyeshadows, but not for work though. :p
I would love to be like Samantha on Bewitched for my superpower. Lunch in Dubai? A night stroll in Paris? Shopping in NYC? All in one day! Yes please!
I’d like to be able to fly.
time travel, please. id love to go back in time to see how life was back then. 🙂
This week is the beginning of my first year in Fashion Marketing at school !!!
I have a job interview today!
The super power I always wanted was the ability to snap my fingers and be anywhere I wanted to be. Mostly because when I was young my mom was really strict, so wouldn’t it be so much easier to just snap my fingers and go out, then snap and you’re back in your bedroom leaving mom none the wiser?
My ideal super power would be the ability to read minds!
Not really a super power but I’d like to be able to stay calm in all situations. I like to build things up and get worked up about them which does no one any good. 🙂
It’s getting a little chily at night now, I’m so sad summer won’t be around for long
This full moon is making everyone crazy – including my cat.
Hhmm what kind of super powe would i like to have… i guess any would be fine! I would like to be a super girl 😉 i think it would be something like kitty girl (not cat woman she is to catty ;)) so would have night vision, cat-like reflecses and woudl be as supple and lean as my cat. A great plus is that i would be very soft and furry, would have nice black lined cart eyes (eat that all woman who try to do that with make-up!!) and i would be able to sleep anywere hihi. My cat is such a lazy thing but whatever she does (eating my dinner of scratching my sofa) she always looks cute (damn her!!) so ppl would like to cuddle and stroke me and rub my belly, sounds nice right? I bet you agree beeing such a fellow cat lady 😛
Greetz Alieke
(p.s. i love your blog, it’s heaven send for a cat and make-up lover)
I’d love to be invisible!
after being at work for an hour now…….i’m still trying to wake up >.<
Gosh, the sky is gray over here in DC, so I’ll take the blue anywhere I can get it!
I used to always say I wanted the power of invisibility, so I can play mean tricks on people (LOL), but I’ve settled on Controling Time! I would just like to be able to pause, fast forward, and occasionally rewind 🙂
My superpower of choice – ability to read minds, no one could lie to me ever!
I’m studying Medicine. It’s fantastic. Enter me please!!
Spain
I just bought these lovely grey cowboy/biker boots with chains on the back the heels. Can’t wait to wear them on Monay, because that is my first day of college 😀
Oh, I think flight is definitely the winner for me too. Though I have to say that invisibility is also high on the list, but the novelty of that would probably wear off quickly. 🙂
Please, please make the day end…I have no motivation to go to work!
I just want to know why people like to keep the office temp set on Antartica? This isn’t necessary! lol…Can you tell I’m cold?
What a pretty blue color!
I would like to be able to read people’s minds or teleport myself if I had to choose a superpower. Just think – if one could teleport themselves, she wouldn’t need a car, which would free up a lot of money to buy makeup!
Hey I just wanted to say I love how on most posts you comment back to almost everyone. I just think it so sweet and just something extra that you do which really shows your readers you care! I’ve already won one of your contests once so I’m not looking to win again but would like to say I’ve been reading your blog religiously since May of this year and you’ve actually inspired me to start my own so WOOO!~ 😀 Just thank you for the wonderful job you are doing and the (off the beaten track but completely and totally necessary) service you provide. I hope you have a wonderful day! and as much success as you can bear in all your future prospects!
umm i have flu and to be honest only thing i have to say is ” aachoo” , i am nothing but sneezing all day 🙂 retweeted as @glossicious 🙂
I always seem to find out about these prizes a day later, maybe because I’m online only during the daytime. I love bright colors and have been saving up for a couple of the new lipglasses from this line. Blue eyeshadow is my latest obsession.
I wanna be able to mind read. Then I could know what people are really thinking.
Hi Karen. I actually have a super power: I never get lost. Or almost never. I’ve been lost once in my adult life and even then I eventually figured out where I was and how to get where I wanted to be. I’m like a human GPS. 😀
I really would like to read people thoughts!
My super power? Invisibility. Sometimes I just want to be left alone. 😉
I’m currently a jazz voice major and loving it.
OH, that blue would be amazing combined with gold or bright green (AKA Sassy Grass). And orange too!
Lurrve bright eyeshadows, but they end up in my collection rather than on my eyes! If only I had the nerve to wear em.. Superpower I wish I had? Making nasty or mean people tumble and trip with my thoughts alone .. nothing too extreme, just enough to cause them some shock & embarrassment.
imagine you had eyes in that color… wow.
I think that bright colors are fun to wear and anyone can wear (:
I’m studying accounting and love it!! 🙂
Teleportation all the way! I like going places, but I hate the actual driving/flying!
Tomorrow is my 20th birthday!
Started “school” last week. My schedule consists of Pilates and a class for fun but this Bay Area heat makes it such a drag to be indoors!! :-/
Hmm… I’m starting to like bright eyeshadows. I’ve gone from browns and golds to dark plums and lavenders… I’m needing to get something new.. Suggestions?
I’m studying psychology in school. I hope to become a psychotherapist for adolescents.
Iv been afraid to wear blues but I’m deff going to try to wear them way more my skin was made for color but still
If I could pick one superpower, I’d want teleportation. Traffic sucks. 😀
such a pretty blue!!
Wow, what a blue! I tend to be afraid of bright colors (I’m more of a neutrals girl) but would love to give them a chance 🙂
what a nice bright blue!
the weather is crap, its raining and cloudy, depressing!!
I met really great people last weekend! i cant wait for the weekend again so i can go out !
I would pick teleportation!
I’m studying cellular biology and genetics 🙂
the ability to teleport!
Zingy reminds me of Chingy reminds me of cool music.. oh I gotta dance now!
i’d love to have the ability to read peoples minds. Sure would help with tricky situations like job and college interviews!
being able to teleport. Imagine the possibilities!
I love my husband and two girls 🙂
Ooh what a bright blue….I have never tried any bright colors on my eye. Need to get on it.
my superpower would be the ability to make pots of money appear at the blink of eye! If you have enough money you wouldn’t need to teleport cause you’d be able to travel anywhere you want. Of course it would be slower than teleportation but I have time. ;0) Also, I wouldn’t need to be invisible cause with that much money I’d want everyone to see me and all my beautiful makeup looks… ;0)
Love this color, I have lots of teals but no real blues so I would love to play with this color and see what I could come up with!
I’m going to go see Piranha 3D tonight and it looks SO bad that it’ll be good! 🙂
superpower: being able to travel anywhere with just a snapping of your fingers
The Epic Discovery of A Wonderous Condiment Called Mayo
I loved food. when i was little, i would eat anything you put in front of me-
sushi, tomatoes, steak – heck, i would even eat callamari. that all changed at
around the age of 8. i went through a long period when i only ate mac&cheese and
dino nuggets. my mom was noy estatic about that. up next was my vegiatarian
phase at age 10. i wouldnt eat any meat, nor soy or tofu. i basically lived off
of cheese and lettuce. my mother wasnt happy about that, either. however, now i
am in what i like to call a “selectively refined” era of eggs,soups and salads.
lunchtime was hard though- i didnt really eat any meat, and there was no way i
could live off of grilled cheese everyday- so i needed to find the perfect
sandwhich.
my hunt began with 2 slices of whole wheat 5-grain bread. peanut butter and
banana? nope. pb&j? yuck. cheese? boooring. so far my expedition to sandwhich
land wasnt going well- so i did what any good food explorer would do. i went to
the treasure chest: the refridgerator.
more kooky concoctions followed. bananana& BBQ sauce, pb&ketchup,
lettuce&mustard, the kitchen was disastorous- i had gone through a loaf of bread
already and taken apart the fridge, except for the lower shelf.
let’s see, i thought and glanced at the colorful array of jars and bottles.
bud light (not 21)
hot sauce (sensitive toungue=nono)
tomato sauce
(just..no)
mayonaise, ranch dressing,-wait-
mayo…
isnt mayo supposed to go on sandwhiches? i wondered. well theres nothing to
lose…
i grabbed the blue and yellow jar to the black counter and screwed off the
plastic top.
next i laid out more bread, added cheese and lettuce, and with a bit of
hesistation- the mayo.
i held the experiment up to my skeptical face and sniffed it. not bad. i
cautiously took a bitty chomp and winced- and hey… wait…- i relaxed. this
was freaking amazing. i gobbled up the last of my wonderful creation and made
another.
it was love at first bite. and ever since then- mayo has taken a big place in my
heart (and stomach)
ever since that my epic discovery of a beautiful sandwhich companion, i knew
that from that amazing day on, my sandwhiches would never be boring again.
the end.
I wanna win! I havent done anything exciting to tell you about, I work at an elementary school and it’s been mad crazy here!!! I cant wait for kids (and parents) to get used to the routine! have a great day!!
Also re-tweeted!
im so exited to go back to school! yay high school!
I’m not feeling this NY weather! Too rainy, gloomy and chilly.
I’d love to be able to breathe underwater!
I’m studying health care management…while working full time in the same field. Thus, I must dress fairly conservatively. This ES would really give me a great pop of color and make me feel human again 🙂
I’m currently a student at UC Berkeley and studying Economics! Thanks for this giveaway!
Bright blue shadow? AWESOME 😀
i would really love to move things around with my mind. its just an extent to me being lazy 🙂
If i could have any super power, I would want the power to freeze time, that way when i have a good make up day i can enjoy it for that much longer!
(p.s. i’m a new blogger. any tips?)
I would love to read minds !
I love bright eyeshadows!! Its great to use on the lash line or outer corner to add a pop of color to my everyday neutral looks!!
Being able to fly would be cool!
Oooh, I would definitely want to be able to fly… or maybe powers of invisibility, that would be pretty amazing.
I would love to be able to freeze time and enjoy special moments for a little while longer or slip away from the most awkward times =)
I would want to be able to stop time.
I love bright eye shadows! i wear them almost every day.
For the first time, I am watching Sex & The City today, season 1. 🙂
I would love to be able to teleport. It would be nice to be able to go anywhere in the world that I would want to be. I have friends all over and I would love it if I could see them at the drop of a hat.
Reading a James Patterson book.
I’m studying Psychology in school- I’m a grad student working on my PhD. I started 19th grade on Monday! Haha!
I would like to control the weather like Storm from X-Men.
What super power…. hmmmm what super power do I want? The ability to manipulate time. I could speed up a slow work day, slow down a devine night out , rewind it so I don’t ask my team lead if he is brain dead….. Yep I want to control time.
I follow you on Twitter as @katygmorris and just Tweeted here: http://twitter.com/katygmorris/status/22111929993
Thanks!!! 🙂
Honest to goodness! Until I saw this shadow I thought I was done with blue eyelids for good. I’m swooning over this, though. Loving the super-pigmented makeup this season! Fun!
I like bright eyeshadow but don’t wear it often.
It would be a tie between invisibility and walking through walls. There are no limits to the mischief I’d get into!!!
i’m excited football season is back!
I want to be able to freeze things…so at work, i can take a break from all the people complaining to me
flight or aquawoman! i love me some sea
I’m so bored right now, don’t really know what to do… Probably I should go to bed.
My super power of the day (and it can change tomorrow) – the power to heal
I’m sneezing up a storm over here with my allergies and it’s over 100 today!!
I would love to fly! I have always dreamt about sleeping on a cloud 🙂
Having an okay day at work BUT I burned my tongue on some soup at lunch today and it is really annoying….HATE it when that happens! 🙂
I would love to be invisible so i would be able to do anything i want 😉 😀
My school starts tomorrow! Ah! I can’t believe summer is almost over! I did some last minute school shopping with some friends today and now I have to decide what to wear and most importantly how to do my makeup 🙂
superpower: being invisible!
I feel sooo lazy. Bed with the ceiling fan on is so much more appealing than cleaning the kitchen.
I’m studying Nursing, feels like it’s taking forever but it will be worth it in the end!
I would like to be able to read people’s minds. Another interesting power would be to be able to take the appearance of someone else.
The superpower I’d most like to have would be to enable all women (including myself!) to lose weight whenever they wanted to, without having to slog away at the gym or exercise or eat bland fruits and veggies forevermore 🙂 thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to be able to read minds :_)
I would love to be able to fly also. I once had a dream I was flying. It was the most amazing feeling, so free ! I could soar up and down and feel the wind around me. And flying over the hills and valleys, so beautiful.
My day kind of went by fast today!
I love your blog, it´s absolutely funny!!
Im sooooo sleepy and just started work.
I’m not scared of bright eyeshadows! 🙂 whew. I badly need a pick-me-upper nowadays…things have been very slow for me 🙁
katch05 at gmail dot com
First day of high school today! it went well, it was so hot though. Model in a bottle makeup sealing spray = AMAZING!!!! My makeup did not budge even though i was sweating like a pig. Worth every scent, i only used 2 or 3 sprays for my whole face.
i just bought the cutest red dress at bloomingdales for 100!
it’s the best!
I’d want the ability to teleport…. i would never be late again 🙂
My superpower would be to be able to hear people’s thoughts…
I live in Brazil, where MAC would cost me a kidney, so I’ve never tried any of their products. I’ll be dreaming about this eyeshadow until I win it! =)
Telekinesis would be awesome! It would also be nice to eat as much Nutella as I wanted without gaining any weight…
I’d love to be able to alter time. Change, stop, slow, everything ^^
Aaah, pressed submit without finishing.
Next time I land myself in the perfect spot to crack jokes, I wouldn’t have to spend minutes thinking of a good one 😀
Today I had Sweet and Sour chicken from Springrolls with Vegetable Fried Rice and Coke and Lime. I was so stuffed by the end that I didn’t even have room for some fried banana or Coconut rice with mango.
This leads me to my supernatural power (s) of choice.
1) Flying because I could travel the world FOR FREE!
2) Cooking (it is a superpower, I can’t cook so well yet) so I could whip up these crazy dishes and impress people with my spoon skills. boo yeah!
I’m studying to be a pharmacist.
I would love to be able to time travel 🙂
I am going to be studying MUSIC!! woohoo! I’ve been out of college for two loooong years. Excited to go back!!
For some odd reason, crease colors just dont look good on me. I’m better off with just one shade all over the lid
I would love to have control over molecular structures, including my own. Imagine changing the colors of your nail at a whim, or your hair, or healing yourself 😛
my superpower would definitely be the ability to teleport from one place to another!
I am just happy for the giveaways especially from the Dare to Wear collection. Enter me please!
Time travel! Does that count as a superpower? I guess it does if I use my crazy knowledge of the future to thwart evil.
So, I’m studying dental hygiene in school, so the superpower that I would have is to be like the tooth fairy, I think. It would be so cool to be able to do that for little kids
my friends and I are hanging out, but everyone’s playing starcraft but me
My CSA is killing me with the 50,000 varieties of eggplant.
My super power would be mind reading skills 🙂
I am studying English and I’m not sure about SOME bright colors but I’d LOVE to experiment with the blues!!! and green!
hey Karen,
If I could choose to have a superpower, I’d chose reading people’s mind!!!
I’m a really curious person!!!!

Hi! Thanks for the great giveaway! I’m actually studying to become a nurse, Eventually, I want to be a nurse anesthetist, so yeah, not much money left for makeup, haha! Yeah, makes it that much harder to have a beauty blog:( That’s why I love your giveaways so much, so thanks again!
I’m loving Benefit!! Really look forward to this year’s X’mas sets!!
i went to school for interior design, and now i am taking business. hoping that when i am done me and my friend can start a bridal make-up business!
I looove bright eyeshadows and I would love being able to fly!
Please enter me in your giveaway. This is such a gorgeous, bright blue. I don’t have anything this shade of blue in my makeup collection. I might wear this first as a liner. Then next would be in my crease. Thank you.
makeupgirl21@comcast.net
Ah, I’d love to have the power of shape shifting. I think it would be cool, and very handy.
changing my hair color at will
