Er, no. I’m pretty sure the name of the prize in today’s giveaway, Benefit’s Sexiest Nudes Ever, was NOT inspired by Magic Mike, the groundbreaking film starring Academy Award shoe-in Channing Tatum… 🙂
But snaps to you, girl, for making the connection, LOL!
I was really surprised by this eyeshadow kit (a Sephora exclusive) and its cool-toned smokey shades.
In all, it comes with six products — four Longwearing Powder Shadows in Milk It (a pearly off-white), Raincheck (a demi-matte mauve), Pause for Applause (a matte purplish pink) and Blingo (a metallic silver); and two Creaseless Creams in Bikini-Tini (a shimmery golden peach) and Holy Smokes (a shimmery bluish gray).
I hope you’ll love these colors as much as I do, and because I think you will, I’m giving one of the kits away today!

Ooooh, I had a sparkly purple from Clinique that I adored in high school. Don’t remember the name though!
I had a salad last night. I’m trying to be more healthy.
I think the first purple eyeshadow I ever wore was a CoverGirl single eyeshadow. CoverGirl was my jam when I started wearing makeup.
Woo hoo, love Benefit products.
So hoping & praying I find a job soon! My concert life is suffering! Happy New Year all!
My first purple e/s was the Clinique Ash Violets duo!!!
My hair right now is wet and the only coffee I seem to enjoy is if I pay at least $4 for it. 🙂
I love coffee with cream and sugar, but I just get it with milk. I figured it was a slightly healthier, though less satisfying, habit to get into.
I already love birthday suit!
I like to put flavored coffee creamer in my coffee =D
I remember someone giving me an eyeshadow duo from Clinique for my birthday when I was in high school. I thought at the time the plum in the set was too dark and goth. I really wished I kept it. I use dark a lot for my night looks.
I believe the first purple eye shadow I ever wore was Ecstasy from Urban Decay. I also love Coffee Mate French Vanilla creamer in my coffee. Mmmm.
Or Starbucks Peppermint Mocha.
I hate coffee!
My first purple eyeshadows were by Estee Lauder …a light one and darker one , just a dream to combine both.
My first purple eyeshadow was UD`s Asphyxia. I still have it and love it.
I put EVERYTHING in my coffee–the super-synthetic, super-sugary, super-fatty super-bad-for-you nondairy ones that come in all the exciting flavors are my favorites. (chocolate bailey’s coffee at work?! yes please!)
my hair looks bouncy and curly
Would love to try this palette!
Just took the foundation plunge yesterday and invested in the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. So far I am loving it. It is super lightweight and doesn’t make me break out but I think I am going to have to invest in a primer as well
Lately I’ve been wearing smokey eyes all the time!
this looks so stunning!
if I play my cards right, I look like a dark haired einstein in the morning!
this palette looks amazing!
love love love Benefit!!!!! those colors look great 🙂
Trying to stay away from coffee this year, becoming more of a tea peron (starbuck-passion fruit tea) 🙂
Pretty! I have never worn a purple eyeshadow unless you count MAC Embark. More brown.
Would love to win this, can never have enough of a sexy nude eye
I hate cleaning the shower… such a pain!
No idea which one I’m most excited about!
I wish I could just wake up and have hair I can comb and be done with it! …but no, it really sticks up in all the wrong places, and so I always have to do a lot of fixin’!
the first eyeshadow i wore was from a makeup palette my mum had. you know one of those palettes with different, eyeshadow, blushes, listick etc. i still remember how amazing it smells and what it looked like 🙂
I like a little coffee WITH my cream and sugar!
I still have my tree up
I like to pick my outfit the night before…and sometimes I even pick out my makeup, too! 🙂
I have bed head today!
Right now I’m having my 5th coffee of the day…this one with vanilla caramel creamer, no sugar 😀
What a gorgeous set!
Love the colours!
yay! purple!
When I wake up in the morning, I kind of look like a distant relative of the heatmeiser. Even though my hair is short, it sticks up horribly in the morning 🙂
Silver is special!
I really want to loose weight and it’s so difficult
I feel like my world revolves around coffee…it dictates how the day goes!!
I like my coffee BLACK. num!
My hair is a mess when I wake up. I braid it at night because it’s gotten pretty long but only like 3/4s of it is still in the braid by the time I get up in the mornings.
Loving these giveaways. Thanks.
My first makeup product ever was an under-eye circle cover-up from a health food store in sixth grade. Those have been bothering me for as long as I can remember! Thank god for makeup :)))
Flash by urban decay or angel by bare minerals
Gahhh I want to win this so bad!! I think Channing Tatum is amazing just because he loves his wife sooo much. Every woman in the world wants him but he talks about her all the time. I find it precious!
I threw a couple cups of spinach in with my breakfast smoothie, and I call that a salad. So, this morning was the last time I had a salad.
I don’t remember the name of the first purple eyeshadow I used, but I know it was from Lancombe. It was a total game changer for me.
I have tons of revision to do but it’s so hard to stop looking at makeup ahaha
wootwoot! Another giveaway!!!
First purple eyeshadow…probably a NARS. Can’t remember the name. Love, love, love coffee with cream and sweetener. And I love this giveaway. Thanks!
Yay! I want to say my first purple was from Jane Cosmetics.
My hair is a disaster first thing in the morning – not even a ‘hot mess’ – simply a mess 🙂
I need to win this Benefit kit. Hope my boss doesn’t find out I’m checking in from work.
Im just starting to use and love eyeshadows. I used to think they were unnecessary and pointless, but Im obsessed now!!!
Just made chiliquiles for brunch
I was eyeing these kits at Sephora yesterday- from the online swatches, I had thought I could easily pass this one up, but once I swatched it in person, I fell for it and now Sexiest nudes and the Most Glamorous Nudes are tops on my wishlist. The Raincheck shadow reminds me of my Nars Charade Duo(my fave purple ever). and I love the Creaseless creams. I wish Benefit would offer larger sizes of these 2 shadows, I think I’d scoop them up in a new york minute!
My first purple eyeshadow? I don’t know the brand anymore but I wore it every day, it was at that time the only color in my collection. It was a beautiful dark deep purple. Have never found an other one 🙁
I hate cleaning the bathroom!
I like Hazelnut creamer in my coffee.
I only have a couple of cool toned eyeshadows, and both are cream formulas. I love experimenting with them for nighttime looks but would love to figure out some daytime ones as well!
I love lots of cream in my coffee! Lately, I’ve been putting eggnog in instead:)
Lately I’ve been drinking my coffee black, but I usually like a little creamer and/or sugar
Have a great new year, Karen!
I love that purple color! I have been having an obsession lately with purple eyeshadow…
Hair- Sca-ary.
I don’t drink coffee, and tend to avoid caffeine in general!
i hate dusting!
I have been checking the Benefit website and Sephora to see if they have this yet! I would LOVE this!
Thanks Karen!
Least favorite household chore? Cleaning the shower! Such a hassle and I always end up getting myself, the floor, the walls all wet!
Happy New Year!
I absolutely hate washing the dishes and sink. yurk!
Surprisingly, there were so many patients waiting for the doctor today, ditto at the pharmacy.
Hi Karen! I don’t really remember by first purple shadow but lately I have been enjoying (perhaps too much, :D) “Cut the Cake” from Too Faced Bon Bon palette.
My first purple was Clinique breathless
I can’t wear purple eyeshadows!
I never ever put sugar in my coffee. Occasionally I get a latte with fancy syrup but that’s about it 😉
I think my first purple eyeshadow was Estée Lauder Amethyst. So beautiful…
TGIF!! Now if only I could watch Boy Meets World when I get home… 🙂
I remember it was by L’Oreal! It was part of those one-sweep eyeshadow trios.
One word to describe my hair in the morning is frizzy!
I’m a sugar in my coffee kind of gal! And I do enjoy my “foofoo coffee” as my husband refers to Starbucks-like drinks – lattes, etc.
My first purple was a Jane cosmetic, I can’t remember the exact name but it had Grape in it. A beautiful deep purple color.
I named my pets after soccer players. Smithy the cat and Landy the poodle. 🙂
The first purple eyeshadow that I can ever remember wearing was a shade called “Mystic Mauve” that came in a set of two shadows and a small cake eyeliner palette by Avon many, many years ago. It was a gorgeous medium greyed-purple shade and I wish I could find a shade exactly like it! Thank you for the giveaway, Karen!
My favourite Christmas gifts this year: a Crazy Cat Lady action figure and a I Can Haz Cheezburger Cat calendar!
I redeemed my Starbucks free drink coupon today for a nice holiday treat.
I think that I am going to have salad for dinner!!! Yummy!!
Hope you’re having a great holiday season, Karen! 🙂
Would love this set!!
I tweeted @crystesmom23.
Hoovering is THE worst household chore – it’s just vile!
i make my own daily latte with espresso and Lactaid every morning. It’s my favorite part of the day!
I like milk and sugar in my coffee, but not cream or half and half. This palette looks great! Thanks for all of the giveaways, Karen. I really enjoy your blog!
I love Benefit, they never disappoint! “Raincheck?” looks so beautiful
I am a cream and sugar queen with the coffee. Must have.
My least favorite household chore is washing dishes then dusting then vacuuming…
I really enjoy your blog! 6 months pregnant with my 3rd child and could use a makeup update! Happy New Year!
Double double baby!
I like coffee in my milk, sugar, and caramel flavor. 😉
Mine please!
Pretty!
I’m very pale, but I could see myself using at least 5 of the products in this palette. That’s really saying something for me 😉
I like my coffee with sugar
I can’t wait to dye my hair green!
The last time I had a salad was in September and it was actually the first time I ever had a salad, lol. I’m more of a meat lover 🙂
I prefer tea in my coffee cup
These palettes have totally caught my eye! They look so lovely and cute 🙂
I have not even come close to perfecting a smoky eye. I need some kind of eye shadow class.
I usually love to eat salad and it’s often my dinner in summer, but right now it’s so cold that i want something warmer in my tummy!
Yay
Fabulous eyeshadow!
Karen, I’m sad! Your blog has become all about giveaways! What happened to product reviews?
I eat salads almost everyday because I’m too lazy to make interesting vegetable dishes 🙁
I think it was some nameless medium purple shadow by Nabi. I am not big on coffee but when I do drink it I use sweetener (Splenda) and some Walmart brand creamer. Shocking. Smokey eyes are kind of my go to look so I wear them quite frequently. Um…. about a month ago or so. At a restaurant I believe. I hate cleaning out the cat litter (though the cats gravitate towards me more than anyone, making me their mother). It really depends on where I’m going. If I am just running errands than I will pop on whatever is comfy like some sweats and a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt if it’s chilly. If I am going out to dinner or a movie then It takes me a good half hour to an hour to find something suitable to wear.
My hair is a mess when I get out of bed – and not a cute, bedhead mess, but a flat and frizzy ball of blah.
I’ve been craving pho for weeks, and finally pho for dinner tonight. All these giveaways are amazing, thank you!
Love me some nudes!
oh really want theese 😀
Tomorrow I’m seeing my family after 4 months and I couldn’t be more excited! Holidays are the best 🙂
two milk in my coffee please!
I love cream with my coffee, your blog, purple eyeshadow and THIS KIT 🙂
Karen, I like hearing your share your updates on living healthy. I’ve let that part of my life go downhill and now I have 8 lbs of “emotional weight” to get rid of. Plus, I don’t think I’ve eaten any form of greens in AWHILE. 🙁 Oh well!
Could go for a nap right about now. Too bad I’m still working.
Cream and sugar……definitely.
Always have to have a lil bit of cream and sugar in my coffee 🙂
I never wear eyeshadow but this seems like a great place to start!
I just got this really cool ring today from James Avery and I’m wearing it on my middle left finger 🙂
That pink shadow is adorable
Oooh now THIS is the only that I REALLY wanted!! I LOVE the purple and mauve tones in this–really obsessed with using those types of shades on my eyes!!
I have 3 words to describe my hair when I wake up – in a bun. Hahaha I don’t like sleeping with it down.
I always take cream and sugar in my coffee. Two spoons of sugar…or 4 of those tiny packs of sugar if I get it from a coffee shop.
Have you seen the show Once Upon a Time? I have. Stayed up all night watching it. Thanks Netflix.
I don’t drink coffee!
There was arugula on my sandwich at lunch today. That’s kinda like a salad, right?
I can’t wait to get married in February!!!
I am actually planning to make a salad right now, after I read your blog 🙂
The First Purple Eyeshadow I wore was called Amethyst by Maybelline and it came as a Single Eyeshadow and I still love it to this day because it’s so nice and if added with a little bit of water it gives the most beautiful Foil effect.
I love cream & splenda in my coffee!! 🙂

I just started wearing purple eyeshadow. While all my friends wore it I always wore green. MAC Satin Taupe was the first eyeshadow that made me think I should wear purple, and now my collection is growing. I’d love to add this palette – thanks for a chance at a giveaway!
My hair looks crazy most of the time, especially when I first wake up!
I love the purple eyeshadow from Laura Mercier called African Violet…it was one of my fist favorite purple eyeshadows I wore.
I take my coffee with cream only, finally weaned myself off sugar but I still like sugar with my tea. Love purple shadows, these are so pretty.
I Normally Like wearing Smokey Eye Looks for a Night Out or for Special Occasions. I think it’s a look that can be pulled off in the day as well, but with less bold colors to get a more subtle and wearable smokey eye.
My hair is generally a tangled mess when I wake up in the morning, lol.
This palette is so cute for spring!
Im obsesed with the mascara Fairy Drops from Sephora. Its a must try!
My first purple eyeshadow was from the Kat Von D True Romance eyeshadow pallette in Sinner. The pallette itself seemed too mature and hardcore for me, especially since I prefer natural and nude eyeshadow topped with some winged out liner as my statement. Now, I’m glad I have it since its has a lot of pretty grays for smokey eye looks and some versatile shimmery lid colors. Each shadow is quite pigmented (much more so than stila) and intense enough to easily use as an opaque eyeliner as well. In addition to the purple, there was also a dark plum as well. But for girly girls (like me), Stila’s in the moment pallette is better! Purples, neutrals, and shimmer!
I just had a big salad for lunch! Not of the Seinfeld variety, just a very large salad, my favorite: lettuce mixed with spinach, one Cara Cara navel orange cut into small bits, half an avocado diced into bits, sunflower seed kernels, feta cheese, and lemon juice vinaigrette. Nom. Very nutrient-rich and also the strong flavors overpower the taste of spinach xD
I’ve never owned purple eyeshadow before but i have used it this halloween from my friend’s stila palette to do bruising for my zombie makeup. I’m pretty much a noob at makeup XD
I have never worn purple eyeshadow!
ooooooh! so pretty!!!
I Have never used a cream eyeshadow before and the only thing I know is that cream eyeshadows can be worn alone or as a base to make the other eyeshdow colors that get place over it to pop.
Great giveaway! Thank you! & it was ceasar salad for dinner tonight.
We’re still painting the bathroom. How could the previous tenants ever think split pea green would look good with the greeny-turquoise bathtub and sink?
All the colours look beautiful!
I am starting the New Year off early! Yoga and tredmill here I come!!!! Along with my friends fruits and veggies. 🙂 can’t wait to kick off my new year with a new me! Happy new year everyone!!!!!!!
I want this kit soo badly!! I love purples and silvers on my eyes!
Gorgeous palette!
These colors are gorgeous!!
Wheeeeeeeeeee!
I take creamer and brown sugar in my coffee.
Which I take at least twice or thrice a day!
These kits are all so gorgeous, but wearable!
My usual instant coffee I drink black, but any other coffee I add a ton of hazelnut cream and a few teaspoons of sugar.
I like coffeemate cinnamon vanilla or French vanilla in my coffee 😉 I don’t remember the name of my first purple eyeshadow but purple and grey were the only colors I wore back in high school.
I love those shades!!! I think purple might be the only cooler color that looks good with my coloring.
Love this palette!! Unfortunately, I spent all my Christmas money in Sephora before seeing this on the way out! 🙁
I don’t think I’ve ever worn purple eyeshadow!
Yay for Creaseless Cream shadows – soooo fabulous!
I don’t drink coffee at all!
Love purple eyeshadows!!!!! So feminine, so sweet, so romantic. 🙂
My first purple eyeshadow (and first eyeshadow EVER) was MAC’s Satellite Dreams! My friend bought it for me for my birthday when I was in middle school. I think that first trip to MAC kick-started my fascination with makeup!
I ate a salad today for lunch! Thanks for the giveaway!
I had a caramel pecan coffee this morning that was so yummy!
Leftover mashed potatoes 🙂
I love cream and sugar in my coffee (especially cream).
I still haven’t figured out how to wear purple eyeshadow! They say purple goes great with brown eyes but I must just not be choosing the right purple. Haha anyways maybe this kit will help me!
I can’t remember my first purple eyeshadow because purple is my weakness! I’m immediately drawn to every and any purple. Sometimes I have to tell myself I don’t need ANOTHER one…
I think the first purple eyeshadow I actually remember having was Fairy Nights by Nars.. at least I think that was the name! 🙂 I actually remember thinking Nars was a crappy brand because the eyeshadow was so hard and powdery.
Merry Christmas to Karen, Tabs, and Hubby! So far this Christmas has been full of family and fun, I hope it has been the same for you and yours 🙂 Happy New Year, and thanks for all the blog-love over the years!
I usually put in more cream than sugar in my coffee. However, on the days when I want more caffeine in my system, I take my coffee black. Plus it looks cooler that way.
Wow, I haven’t commented in ages. I have been working a lot and feeling under the weather. This Benefit kit looks amazing. Everyone needs good neutrals that are fun, too. When I wake up in the morning, I usually look pale, and because I have some shorter layers I have to do something with my hair to make it look presentable (otherwise it can get very “There’s Something About Mary”). I hope you have a great weekend and you are awesome for not only posting every day but doing these giveaways.
I love my coffee dark and black with nothing added.
smokey eye is my go-to look!
I’m getting excited about New Year’s Eve – the first sleepover by my 20 month old grandson. My husband and I can’t stop talking about it.
LURV! Hope I win! 😀
I think the first ever purple eyeshadow I wore was for Show Choir. I hit pan on that so easily because no matter how much we wore, the director demanded we put more on!
I would love to try those colors out! Very nice! And I love eyeshadow!
Glad that I am back to warmer weather! I am sure people are jealous about my white Christmas but it was brutal!
My question for the moment – to have a cup of coffee or not…?
I got my TPT shots and this would be great to cheer me up!
Love holiday coffes, yum
I love neutrals!
Thankfully because I have so much hair (thickness), my hair falls down straight due to its weight. I was born with slightly wavy hair but it’s very unnoticeable unless I point it out or when I wash my hair. So when I wake up in the morning, unless I was sleeping on it in a weird angle, it more or less just comes out straight looking. 🙂
OMG I WOULD SO SO LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!
Love this palette!
What wonder, I’m from Brazil and now I can enter a sweepstakes for your blog, which I love!
So, so pretty!!!
And I love Coffeemate Italian Sweet Cream creamer. It’s addictive, once you try it you’re hooked!
No sugar for me usually, though I do enjoy flavored creamer in my coffee!
I am having a love affair with my new Keurig coffeemaker – especially with soy milk and Splenda!
I can’t decide on my NYE mani: gunmetal or evergreen?
There was a girl in my class in high school who wore a purple shadow, more lavender than purple really, that flashed a subtle gold in the sunlight. It looked like it was made for her. And her eyelashes were about a mile long. Naturally, I hated her.
Not really. 🙂
But I’d never seen a more perfect, more made for someone makeup ensemble.
I hate doing the dishes most, we don’t have a dishwasher! 🙁
I love purple clothes but I’ve always been scared of purple eyeshadows, but I’ve recently had a breakthrough – ‘cut the cake’ from Too Faced’s Romantic Eye palette. And now I want to experiment more!
my forehead is breaking out like its nobodies business 🙁
I love giveaways! Lately I love baking too! Happy New Year!
I’m sorry to hear your skin’s acting up. 🙁
*hug*
I think I’m addicted to Korean instant noodles.
May I please have a little coffee with my cream and sugar;)
These are lovely, I love creaseless creams.
I love my coffee with half & half, 1 packet of raw sugar, and a sprinkle of vanilla powder. 🙂
I love my coffee with cream and sugar but I can drink it black if necessary.
I wear smokey eyes at least a couple times a week. Would probably do it every day if I didn’t love winged liner so much!
Every time I try to do a smokey eye it just looks like I bruised myself. I’m working on it.
i love cream eyeshadows!
I really want to win this!!!!
i can’t wait! my brother’s mailing me the Sleek Sparkle 2 palette from London!!
The amount of purses I own is nothing compared to the amount of purses I don’t own.
The first purple to start my purple eyeshadow obsession was MAC Parfait Amour!
Just had an awesome time with my two best friends! We rarely have a chance to all get together wah!
Purple is my favorite color of eye shadow!
the beastie boys said it best: “i like my sugar with coffee and cream!” 🙂
Waiting to be called to board on my flight…
my boyfriend tells me i look like spongebob when i wake up lol
Hazelnut creamer all the way!
My first purple eyeshadow was Bare Minerals loose “Lucky”…kind of a sparkly dusty eggplant. Still love wearing it!
Sugar and heavy whipping cream in my coffee!
I prefer my coffee with fancy creamers, but I do cream and sugar when none are to be found.
cute names are always a plus in makeup!
I ate yogurt this morning =) I wan’t coffee but I’m trying to break the habbit of drinking coffee every morning =)
I had a salad yesterday!
Happy Holidays 🙂
I had a salad today with homemade balsamic dressing 🙂
The colors in this eyesahdow are soooo me!
Not technically one word about my hair in the morning, but:
LION’S MANE.
I have fine, thin hair, but it thinks it’s thick and curly. It can be great at times, but in the mornings it’s a nightmare!!! It’s big at the top and it forms into a square shape, and frizzy at the bottom. It can be so hard to control if I don’t follow my hair routine down to the T.
I am dreaming 🙂
Dying to try those cream shadows!
I was so excited to eat soup earlier that I burned my tongue. Twice. 🙁
fun! purple shadow is on my “must find the perfect…” list
First eyeshadow was an urban decay brownish gold.
Have never worn a purple eyeshadow, but would love to try!
Not sure about purple but I wore my first eye shadow for a ballet recital and it was a brown Maybelline one
It’s the holiday season…..no salads in a loooooong while! 😉
I take my coffee with half and half if possible, otherwise, with the most concentrated type of milk. No sugar/honey/sweetener needed!
Black coffee, please. I usually just go with espresso, though (Blue Bottle and other roasters, nom)
love the shades! such a fresh approach from the usual brown neutrals.
First purple…by estee lauder, a beautiful firey-warm purple. Still love is!
I really hate doing dishes!
I have a terrible cold 🙁 and i’m busy preparing for newyears eve. Today going to do some grocery shopping 🙂
Wow, I love purple eyeshadows! The weird part is that I own lots of Benefit, but no eye products. Definitely need to get my hands on this! 😀
I love purple eyeshadows. If I am not wearing bronzes/neutrals, you will def see me wearing purples.
I just saw these on Sephora and can’t wait to get my hands on one!
Did you know if you get shiny during the day and don’t have blotting paper, Starbucks napkins make great substitutes!!! So take extra and stash one in your purse, ladies!!!
I use sweetened almond milk in my coffee. Kind of like cream and sugar! Thanks for the giveaway. It looks gorgeous.
My first purple eyeshadow is hepcat 🙂 by mac
Love this one too!!!
I can not drink my coffee without cream and sugar. I also have to use flavored creamer! Mmmm 😀
My motto: new year, new eyeshadows! 🙂
Purple is my favorite color. so, my mom bought me this set that had the most amazing purple I have ever seen. Never found one like it again.
I love purples! Thanks for all the great giveaways!
Just woke up and I’m still lying in bed at 10:05am yet the first thought that came to me was to look at makeup on my tablet. So I can safely say today is going to be a relaxing (lazy) day ^_^
I have to have half and half and sugar in my coffee.
I defiantly think benefit products are the best. Benefit is the only product I consistently use. They also don’t try to jip you out of any product, they can be used right till the end.
I think I have a makeup-buying addiction! Lol
I had the most amazing weekend with my family visiting from South Africa!!!
I think I’ve given up coffee all together, even with cream and sugar…just makes me feel stressed! And the last thing I want is unjustified feelings of stress, you know?
time for lunch!
Somewhere either inside my house, or out in the backyard, my cat is growling. I can’t tell where it’s coming from. Guess I should get off MBB, and go find out!
black coffee only. and that kit looks great.
I love
Can’t have my coffee w/o 1/2 & 1/2. Nice shadow set!
I <3 benefit!
I wish I could wear purple eyeshadow, but they either make me look like I’ve been crying or I have a black eye. Boo:(
helloooo
I really want to try the creams in this set!
The first purple eyeshadow I wore was probably Maybelline’s Colour Tattoo eyeshadow in purple, I’ve only recently started delving into purples 🙂
Love purple eyeshadows.
I start the day with coffee to wake up, and end it with a cup of decaf green tea to relax.
Raincheck looks like the prettiest smokey purple!
Love it!
I’m very excited about these Benefit kits. 🙂
yowza! i love it!
I love cream and sugar in my coffee, and it’s gotta be from Dunkin’ Donuts with French Vanilla and Cinnamon flavoring. The only time I’ve ever had black coffee was after we were rescued after a boat crash in Hawaii.
Blueafro.
My first purple eyeshadow from MAC was Trax.
cats the musical has turned me to cat worship!
I love benefit’s Creaseless Creams! They add the perfect punch of color in almost no time – perfect for my very early mornings!
I had a crazy HIP purple and yellow eyeshadow I used to wear in highschool. I belonged in a Mardis Gras parade…
Once upon a time, I went to Starbucks with my friends and decided to try out their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Well, I took a large piping hot sip— and had to force myself to choke it down. I hated it! It was like… I can’t even compare it to any other revolting substances, it was that bad! But in the end, using the magical combined powers of Splenda and 2% milk, I got my money’s worth and was able to finish it, and even enjoy it. Very slightly. But still.
I think it’s safe to say that even if I don’t win this giveaway, I will probably pick one up for myself! It looks amazing!
Thanks for the giveaway (:
I can’t remember the first purple eyeshadow I wore but I definitely remember the latest addition to my purple/plum collection – it’s MAC Shale and I bought it the day after I had found the review in the MAC Unsung Heroes series 🙂
I hate almost all household chores
I just stopped by Trader Joe’s yesterday and spent more than I should’ve. Then I followed that up with a trip to Target and yet again, spent more than I should’ve. Why is it so hard to resist the Ts 🙁
I wish I could do a good smoky eye. Always ends up looking like a hot mess!
I wear smokey eye looks a lot!
I love a purple eye! smokey, or even just eye-liner.
This is a nice new year’s look.
Nice set of eyeshadow, I want to create my Mac eyeshadow collection and your unsung heroes series is helping me alot <3
Hey I was in Vegas for a few days, and I found a slot machine called “Kitty Glitter”… it made me think of you and Tabs!! I posted a picture of it on twitter 🙂

I love purple eyeshadows! I have brown eyes. Chanel’s Amethyst is such a complex color and my favorite purple.
These look great! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I definitely need a small but quality palette that I can use repeatedly since I’m going abroad next semester!

The packaging for these are adorable. i really like how it comes with the creams.
Pretty!
Wow, another contest!
I love coffee, drink it everyday and its what I really look forward to when I wake up…and when I get into the office. I drink it with cream and sugar.
I haven’t really tried a smokey look before as I haven’t really tried any non nude shadows. However, I’m going to try soon — having recently seen your awesome bond tutorial!
Only sugar in my coffee! And I do so love Benefit.
I only put sugar in my coffee! I like my coffee nice and sweet.
oh my……must.have.
so many purple eyeshadows..so little time
must own them all!
I can’t wait for these to come out. They look versatile and lovely.
I wear smokey eyes every day! My features are big all around so it actually doesn’t look dramatic on my face at all; it just makes my eyes look more open and defined and therefore make me look more awake 😀
San Francisco has some of the best makeup companies.
I absolutely hate washing the bathroom especially the shower it takes the longest!!
I AM OBSESED WITH SMOKEY EYES! And I just bought a purple dress for new years, I plannimg on doing a purple-ish smokey eye for the ocasion, would love to try this out!
I like cheese~
I had a salad last night for dinner.
Love these colors!
went to panda inn tonight and it was CROWDED, but so worth it!
It takes me forever to pick my outfit for the day!
The creams and Raincheck look especially pretty.
I love their cream shadows!
The one word that describes my hair when I wake up in the morning? Yeti. Haha!
my first eyeshadow was one from avon-i don’t remeber its name;)
Love the colors!
I wear a smokey eyeshadow look every time I go out. Its my go to look whenever i’m in a hurry, which is every single time.. lol.. i just love it. so easy to do and it looks amazing with little effort! I do a brown smokey look.
I hope 2013 will be a good year for me 🙂
I love makeup and I do love sexy smokey eyes and I’ve never had anything from Benefit yet.

I tried some gel liners from a Korean beauty brand and totally in love with them! Reasonably priced too 🙂
I really hate to iron clothes!!!
The new Revlon Nearly Nude foundation is so awesome!
Since the tree only went up a week before Christmas, we’ve decided to leave it up until Easter.
Least favorite household chore: cleaning the bathroom
Hot coffee I drink with half and half, no sweetener. Iced coffee needs some vanilla syrup added to that!
Love the look of Blingo!
PURPLE is my all time favortie color!!! :))))
I only wear purple as eyeliner.
I named my first dog “kiko” after the bare escentuals eye glimpse. It was from the “puppy love” collection! About 5-6 years ago. Came to find out later on that Leslie Blogette’s dog is name Kiko. I message her personal fb about it and she replied!
Happy New Year!!!
I love using purple on my eyes, it creates a lovely contrast against brown eyes

AH!! I just bought one of their other kits, and I love it! I really want this one – especially bikini-tini. It looks beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity 😀
Least favorite chore is folding socks.
Some mornings I wake up and my hair is perfectly tousled with the right amount of volume and texture… And then at some point it realizes “Oh wait, what are we doing? We’re supposed to be flat and lifeless because for Caitlin to have good hair for more than 15 minutes would just be wrong.”
My first purple eyeshadow was a sample from Clinique. It’s a beautiful dark plum color and I think they discontinued it :0/
I wear smokey eyes all the time!
Holy HOT diggity, those are some dayum fine cool shades! *fingers crossed*
I don’t think I’ve ever worn purple eyeshadow now that I think about it!
Just tried the Urban Decay lip primer for the first time! Really liked it!
One word for my hair right now: bedhead! Hahaha if that’s even one word!
No, I don’t remember the name of my first purple eyeshadow, but I know it was from a purple eyeshadow quad by Revlon, circa 2001.
I love these colors. I’ve been using eyeshadows so much recently, so lovely!
The first purple eyeshadow I ever wore was one of those shimmery Bare Minerals one in a tube, I think it might be called Twilight or something like that?
My first purple was Urban Decay’s Asphyxia
