LOVE the pattern of “When Leopard Gets a Tan!”
I really enjoy reading your blog everyday. I’m obsessed with makeup too!!
Ooooo that NYX 10 palette Velvet Rope looks lovely…..love purples!
I’m so happy to have the day off tomorrow, so I can spend more time procrastinating. Great giveaway! 🙂
NYX makes my favorite lip liner. The long pencil in Natural, looks just like MAC subculture on me.
Karen, Good Job!!!!! Your blog is fun to be on and see all the fab makeup even if one can’t afford it. 🙂
I can’t resist this one! NYX seems like such a cool brand, and I’ve been curious to try some of their products.

Seattle Seahawks are losing
I have not found a better liquid eyeliner in my life (and I have tried EVERYTHING) than the NYC liquid liner with the tiny super thin brush. I found it at Target for around $2! It beats every MAC liner I’ve tried. Loves!
Ooh – I didn’t know NYX had a face primer!
I can’t live without my Burt’s Bees lip balm.
That Beauty To Go Box would be great for night when I stay at my boyfriend’s place. It’s so hard to lug a bunch of stuff over there so I can get ready for work in the morning.
I like cheese!
Great Give-away! I have two pigments from NYX and I really love them.
Those pigments make me curious about other NYX stuff… So, I really want to try other stuff from NYX Cosmetics… 🙂

Hey Karen I have been watching football this weekend. Glad that Pittsburgh is still in it. I was watching the game today but when the football player on the Seattle Seahawks team got hurt, I stopped watching it. I love Covergirl mascara and makeup. I also entered on twitter with the name jmdaniel1
1. I thinks Tabs is pretty bada$$!
2. I cannot find “When Leopard Gets a Tan” in stores yet and I’m desperate to try it out.

I have to work tomorrow unfortunately but I do go to Yoga this morning so that’s making me feel great and accomplished!

NYX is unapologetically claiming its name, not only as an economic brand, but as heavy contender in beauty.
Please take a look at my blog and comment:

So excited that there’s no classes tomorrow!
Ha! I was so tempted to put the Beauty go Go on my Christmas list this year. 🙂 Thanks again for another giveaway–you have some of the best, Karen.
As for the weekend….it’s been mostly football. I’m so happy that the Packers and Bears will meet for the division championship next week. I was sorry to see the Ravens self-destruct during the second half of the Pittsburgh-Baltimore game last night, but the Steelers did a fantastic job during the latter half of the game.
Hope everyone that has the day off tomorrow enjoys the day, and that the rest who don’t will get some needed R+R.
1. I’m having a love affair with Essie’s Ballet Slippers.
2. How did I spend so much as the MAC counter the other day!? Help! I need MAC Anonymous.

Drugstore product I can’t live without is Burt’s Bees original lip balm. I’ve never found any chapstick better, and believe me, I’m an addict! Also, Maybelline Great Lash is fabulous <3 I'm looking for a better mascara, though, because I'm trying to purge my makeup collection of all things animal testing. Any suggestions, anyone? 😛
I don’t own any NYX products, so this giveaway sounds amazing to me.
Drugstore item I can’t live w/o – my Covergirl Lashblast mascara 🙂

Is it sad that I want that bronzer just because it has KITTY print on it?
I love NYX but my Ulta hardly ever has anything.
I can’t live without Chapstick!
My Ulta has a very limited NYX selection too. I’d like to try more.

Dont have any NYX so would love to win some!
It would be awesome to win because I need something to distract me from scratching at this Poison Oak I’ve managed to get. 🙁
who is watchin the golden globes?
Hi Tabs!
Never tried NYX before, but wouldn’t mind giving it a whirl! 🙂
Hey I love your blog! I’ve never tried any NYX products before, but I’m really excited about these colors 🙂
So pretty!! 🙂
Holy hot water batman I would love to win this. Also I would love the JETS to win this game. Thanks in advance!
Love that leopard compact!
I love the leopard compact! It’s looks like the bronzer from the Too Faced line…
I’ve always wanted to try NYX:D
I had a Whole Foods pizza slice for dinner… grilled vegetable pizza, yum!!
I’ve been wanting to write about this on my blog but haven’t had a chance! I’ve been unemployed for the first time in my life during the past three months & in a way it taught me a very important beauty lesson: use what you hav & multitask like a mo-fo. (Up until then, I’d been relatively wasteful & never used up or put a dent in my products before buying a dozen more.) I think every chica needs to stash multi-tasking products in her purse for those times when Chanel & D&G are a faint memory. Aquaphor is #1. I used it for everything from dry skin to fly aways. NYX’s lip pencils were also a great multitasker: I got one in an amazing, pearly pink that I also used at the corners of my eyes as a highlighter (loved it) aside from my lips. Rose hand salve also worked beautifully as a lipgloss & I finally used up the last of my Chanel blush on checks, eyes and even as a highlighter (it was a very subtle colour).
Love all the products in your giveaway! Searched for some makeup blogs today and came across this one! I am enjoying reading all your reviews; have been a makeup addict for quite some time now and my 18 year old daughter fueled my love for NYX, MAC, UD, and so many others!
i <3 me some NYX — i have the palettes, single eyeshadows and the jumbo eye pencils. such lovely products at even lovelier prices!
I’ve never tried NYX but I always hear good things.
tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/vtorv/status/26786107186225152
I have yet to explore any NYX products except once for a yucky glitter cleam once that was basically vaseline and creased all over. This weekend is a lazy one, chillin on the couch right now with roomie and friend watching Despicable Me. Happy Sunday everyone!
Love NYX!!
Fiance and I have been watching football all weekend as well as finding our first apartment. It has been a good weekend!! This makeup looks awesome!!!
Worked all weekend, off for a day, back to work for a day, then off 2. Have to visit my mother in the hospital on my 2 days off.
I heard the NYX primer was really good! Everything looks really nice!!
I just started getting into makeup again, and am having a lot of fun reading beauty blogs, this one included! My favorite makeup so far it L’oreal, and Too Faced. I would love to try NXY products! 🙂
I LOVE NYX!!!!! I’m a full time college student so, money is far and few between but NYX always gets the job done. My weekend has been spent taming this lion’s mane I call my hair. (Seriously I’m diana ross’s long lost hair twin :D) And having extensive girl talk with my leopard gecko Kandi lol ( she hearts that bronzer by the way!) And my “getting dressed” song is ALWAYS “don’t be jealous of my boogie” by Rupaul and “Diva” by Beyonce !!!! Yea, I’m a little cooky lol. Have a great day!!!!!!
Karen, you are hands down my fav beauty blogger and you and tabs always brighten my day. Keep doing what you do!
I wish NYX was available in more locations than just ulta and my local beauty supply store.
I’ve been up to lots of hanging out this weekend! I’m hoping to watch the Seahawks serve out a beating tonight! woohoo!
I really love the cosmetics from Wet n Wild! The quality of their eyeshadows is amazing now. Their single eyeshadow in Brulee is currently my favorite highlighter and harsh line blaster 🙂
I love NYX lipsticks and blushes. thanks for the giveaway
I would LOVE to try NYX! Im so excited about this giveaway!
So let me share with you a beauty trick. Clay!! Yes you’ve heard me girl! A clay mask is heaven for oily skin (specially if you are acne prone!).Just mix a spoon full of clay w/mineral or thermal water and voilá! Wait a until it’s fully dried and take it off w/circular motion and cold water.
Regards from Brazil!!
I’m supposed to writing a paper for Lit, but I’ve been distracting myself looking at makeup and finding new music!! On the plus side I found some fantastic music to fall asleep to (ambient techno?) (that is assuming I write this paper BEFORE morning. gah!
Not much to say…too painful to type – we washed and waxed BOTH cars this weekend, blame the beautiful weather! 😉 (Painful fingers crossed for an awesome giveaway!)
Oooh la la! That palette looks amazing!
I love love LOVE NYX products. Especially their eyeshadows and lipglosses!!
Greeting from Texas. Well, I love the healthy fresh look I get after applying some blush, and I am equipped above average with different brands of blush especially several purchased at my local drugstore. Anyways, this weekend I went grocery shopping and I cleaned out my home while jamming to my music play list especially repeating the song titled Rock U by Supernatural. I really could use a nice rest, and I hope you have one too this weekend and on.
The eyeshadow palette looks awesome
Karen, girl, I need this giveaway! I need it to feel human and girly again. Just completed my first 2 weeks of Crossfit, and my entire body is so sore it hurts to breathe!! Oh, and did I mention mama nature dumped 18″ of snow on me this week?? Arrgh! Love your blog! 🙂
Holy giveaway, batman!! =) I would loooooove to win some makeup! Thanks for the opportunity!
This weekend I trucked it on over to Sally Beauty to check out the Sally Girl eyeshadow that Sam recommended. Honestly it’s been a while since I’ve been there, but they have a ton more makeup than they used to. I got some eyeshadow, and some are great, and some are so-so. But for $.99 I’m not complaining. I also picked up some Palladio eyeshadow primer, and I really like it! Even better than UD Primer Potion!! YAY!
i would love to win this!
I Think that NYX is such a great brand!
I really love nyx eyeshadows. I still need to try the rest of their products.
Itching to try the primer. Thanks 🙂
The one drugstore beauty item I can’t live without is Bag Balm. Nothing works as well on cuticles, chapped lips, rough elbows, heels, you name it!
i’m dying to try some of nyx’s products! i’ve never ecnountered their products in person and after a few failed online orders from other brnads that led to major disappointments, i’m not taking any chances! have you ever seen them in person? where can i buy their products? i haven’t seen them in the drugstores and i don’t live anywhere near an ulta (surprisingly… given i live in philly…)
I had the best weekend!
! I pulled off a surprise 18th birthday party for my daughter, got my grub on at PF Changs, caught up with an old friend, and drank some yummy vino!
I can’t live without my covergirl Lash Blast!
i’m lovin the maybelline stiletto voluptuous mascara! (in waterproof of course)
I love NYX, but the only way I can get some is online, so Im really glad youre hosting a contest
I love eye liner, and mascara.. I am a huge clinique fan… I am about to twitter!
I love your blog. you are so down to earth, and Im glad you review lower priced brands such as NYX ( who I am a fan of)
thanks
Wow, so much color! My favorite drugstore beauty product I can’t live without is Burt Bee’s lip balm 🙂
love that cute bronzer!
I’ve been all about nyx lately for party looks- this is a great set!
I just visited ulta and they had only 1 out of all those products! Grr..
My favorite drugstore beauty product is L’Oreal HIP cream eyeliners. They stay on all day!
Going to the grocery store today was an adventure. A one store trip turned into four since I kept forgetting things.
I can’t believe the weekend is already over >.<
My boyfriend came home after a one-month trip abroad, and I surprised him with a new makeup look. 🙂
This is a great prize, thanks Karen!
i have had one crazy weekend! i was out on a date and i got asked on 2 others!
I feel hungry right now!
I would love to use that primer! I have super oily skin, I really need it!
i’m working on a paper about a development project. it’s about monitoring and evaluating water quality. it’s very important for human development to have clean drinking water!
I have never tried any NYX products. The Velvet Rope eyeshadow palette looks great, I love purple shadows.
Watching the Golden Globes – Love it.
I can’t live without Loreal’s pencil eyeliner in black.
The drugstore product I cannot live without is Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm in Fig. It has all the great nourishment of the original BB and just enough color to give my natural shade a little kick.
I’m going cray cray right now because I can’t watch the Golden Globes & I’m trying to find a live stream. AAAAHHHH!
I begin at a new college in a week and I’m REALLY EXCITED!
What a cool giveaway thanks Karen! I’ve never tried Nyx before so I would love to win ha ha 🙂
I’d love to try When Leopard Gets a Tan!
Those look amazing, how does NYX do as far as pigments?
i hope i win i love nyx and can’t wait to try the bronzer!!
I love Loreal’s Million Lashes mascara.
I really want to try that bronzer! Nyx is an amazing company , this would be a great after-Christmas gift!
Ugh i’ve been so stressed this weekend! Tomorrow is moving day and we are cramming packing the last of everything..fun! :/
I had an early birthday celebration yesterday night with a couple of good friends.
I LOVEEE NYX COSMETICS ahhhhhh what an awesome giveaway 🙂
NYX isn’t carried by my CVS, and I’ve only seen it in Urban Outfitters, which is kind of random.
i love you tabs!
I cannot live without mascara from the drugstore! I refuse to spend more than $10. My favorite is Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion!
So tired after work.
I don’t own any NYX I’d love to try it!!
Watching the golden globes
I think that it is really lovely that you do all of these give aways and make it so easy to enter them. It is much appreciated by your readers :]
My favorite drugstore product is Maybelline’s Dream Matte Mousse Concealer 🙂

I have been feeling more bad a$$ when I listen to “Do It Like A Dude” by Jesse J. I also LOVE the Bruno Mars album… the whole album is amazing!
I”m looking forward to sleeping in late for a Monday and cooking a yummy breakfast!
I just recently discovered Nyx right before Christmas, I can’t believe how good the quality is, I really like it a lot!
Oops almost forgot, I’m iowagirl301 on Twitter.

NYX has always been a cheap thrill of mine! I love their eyeshadows and lipglosses and lipliners!
Great day, Karen and Tabs!
I love your blog, Karen!
So many colors! NYX is awesome.
Glad the Jets won!
I’m glad the Jets won, but they’re NOT winning against the Steelers <3
great prizes! 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try NYX forever! I’ve heard a lot of good things about it but I haven’t been able to find it in any drugstores. Thanks for the chance to win! (:
I love NYX’s 10-color pans! They’re so great.
Wish my kitties were interested in makeup like Tabs!
I love NYX! I hope some brushes are included =]
Love your post and I really LOVE NYX eyeshadows.
Hey, I’m an international makeup addict, can I join even if I compromise to pay the shipping fees for my country? 🙂
Had a great weekend spending major quality time with close friends, one of the best in recent memory!
I am Malaysian, a place where there’s no NYX, E.L.F nor Sonia Kashuk and many other drugstore brand that u featured here.. from your blog, ur review i fell in love with those brands.. i search up and down, online and offline to purchase that product.. am really happy that my search ends with successfull!! Now i have my NYX makeup (purchase from a fb friend) and this morning i just received my E.L.F Studio Powder Brush (https://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/the-3-e-l-f-studio-powder-brush-will-look-right-at-home-in-your-makeup-kit/) and other stuff too.. can’t wait too try out!!
This weekend I enrolled in a chinese class! I’m also in french… It’s going to be an interesting semester!
Hi from Tucson. Congresswoman Giffords is breathing on her own. Upgraded from critical to serious condition–somewhat of a miracle.
Hostin the in laws this weekend, they leave tomorrow and I get to workout and take a nap!
I’m loving NYX lately! I’m kind of a makeup snob, but I’ve been loving drugstore stuff lately! I’ve been especially loving the NYX Candy Glitter liners.
I love the NYX lip colors, but I *can’t stand* the smells…so sad cuz the color payoff is awesome, esp for their lip pencils. Their other stuff is fine, but with the lipcolors being so close to my nose…. *shudder*
In other news, omg, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a right proper pair of boots…I just spent waaaay too much money online shopping in an attempt to find my perfect pair, lol.
My sis-in-law is in town, and hear this – she will be staying with us for 3 months!!! Sigh.. I could use some new makeup goodies to cheer me up and make her stay a little easier on me!
Gosh, what a great giveaway!
Yup football all weekend along with 3 parties! Want to add my favorite drugstore item is Loreal Hip duo shadows.
I just think you and Tabs are the BOMB!!! I think you have THE best beauty blog, seriously, I’m not saying this just because of this giveaway. Now as for my fave drugstore item, I am in love with L’Oreal HiP Duo Eyeshadow in Sassy. I stocked up on them because CVS marked it down to $2.25!!! **happy dance** Anyway, keep up the great work and we all appreciate your blog!!!
I hope this is going to be a great week for me – filled with love, food and makeup haha! I hope you have one too, Karen! 🙂
so much purple!
The drugstore beauty item I can’t live without is definitely my Styli-Style Liquid Liner Pen. It makes liquid liner easy. Ahh, I just love it!
I love college basketball, especially the Duke Blue Devils 😀
The one thing I absolutely can’t live without is my revlon concealer in shade medium. Even if I do not have any type of makeup on, I at least have my concealer on. It’s like peanut butter and jelly lol.
I like “Most Girls” by Pink! Oldie but goodie.
Just got home from a rehearsal for Guys and Dolls- I’m playing a Hotbox Dancer, and I can’t wait to see all the fun 50’s costumes and makeup I get to wear!
Want to wish everyone good luck! I love NYX.
Saw Green Hornet tonight… I liked Cameron Diaz’s make up!
Let’s see…the song that Iisten to when I’m feeling like a bad ass is Christina Aguilera “stronger”. I love that song and it a great song to listen to when your on that last stretch of a good run
Spoke with a psychic today!
just stumbled across your blog and i am soaking up the beauty tips! thanks so much! plus, i love me some t-money shenanigans!
This year, I’m going to find the perfect foundation. For me, it has to be natural, light-weight feeling, non-greasy, long lasting & non-oxidizing. It’s going to be hard though :p But my first foundation purchase this year is the Revlon ColorStay for Normal/Dry Skin, even though I’m Combo/Oily but I heard the Normal/Dry has the better formula. 🙂
Great giveaway! And, love your witty blog writing style, btw 😀
I’m leaving for Chicago on Tuesday to visit the bf! (tomorrow!!) I’m really excited 😀
I love how the NYX bronzer looks.
I am really grateful for my health! I had the flu for the past 4 days and was miserable. i can’t imagine being sick all the time and can’t do anything about it.
EEEEKKK! There is a beast of a spider on my celing right now and i can’t look away or i might find it in my shoe like in the aracnaphobia? movie!!!!!
love the purples!!!
Love reading your blog!
I looooove me some NYX!
love all the colors!
Another stippling brush I want to try. It’s madness I tell you.
Since I don’t have a typical job – no benefits, or paid days off – I didn’t realise there was a holiday until I read this post. I’ll still be working.
GREAT GIVEAWAY!
I love NYX products!!
Here is my tweet:http://twitter.com/#!/jokentje/status/26933566654906368

I love NYX! Pigmented shadows and colorful lipglosses~

The palette looks amazing!
Spent the weekend doing a workshop so didn´t have time off work…
I’ve been desperately in need of a purple-ish eyeshadow palette. Those shades are just gorgeous.. *_*
I’ve been cooking all sorts of authentic Italian food for the rest of the week. Up early writing on my blog and enjoying reading yours while sipping on my coffee. Oh and snuggling with my cat, Charlie.
I love the velvet!@.@
Wow, that’s a lot of NYX loot! Sadly, my Colts are out of the running but we still watch all the games. I just don’t really care who wins. I’m not excited about any of the teams this year. It’s a 5 day work week for me this week but the boys have a dentist appt today and the Hubs has a doc’s appt on Wed, so I guess it works out to be a 3.5 day work week. 🙂
I woke up at 4 this morning all by myself. So gross. So I’m at work early drinking coffee, waiting for my shift to start and thinking about what I could do with $100 worth of NYX
This week was great.it was my nephew’s 5th birthsay,but he in london with his parents so we only talked on phone. I love him sooooo much
I can’t live without my Revlon Colorstay foundation or my Falsies mascara.
Happy Monday morning 🙂 I’m back at work today, no 3 day weekend for me. I spent the weekend helping a friend move and watching some football – yay Steelers!! I hope you had a great weekend too, Karen!
Oh ps, this is a great giveaway! Thank you!
Happy Monday! Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!
I think this NYX collection would set me up for the year with makeup! Nice. =)
I loveeeeeee NYX and your blog is awesome!
I’ve been running around with my sis all week to help plan her wedding!
I love 3 day weekends and football! Go Bears!
I am so excited about this giveaway. I spent my weekend helping my sister buyt make-up. I am moving out of my parent’s place and since I am taking all of my goodies with me, my sister needed to get some of her own.
Wow Karen, with all these giveaways it really looks like you’re starting out the new year with a bang!!
This would be a great winter pick me up!!!
Exams are over and I’m finally allowing myself to read blogs again… 🙂 Great giveaway!
I’d love to try these products!

I still at home this weekend because it’s bloody cold in Canada.
I really like listening to anything by Eletrik Red when I am feeling like a maneater/ bad@ss. They are such an underrated girl group. As for drugstore make up, I love NYX lipsticks. So pigmented and creamy!
the bronzer looks amazing!
i super love NYX!
I am off work today! Whoop! Whether I am sitting behind my computer at work, or chilling with my laptop in bed, I had to get my daily dose of your blog!
lalalala loveee nyx products 🙂 and revlon 🙂
I’m going shopping this weekend… for makeup! Well, just mascara. I’m trying to replace it every 3 months.
I had off from work today & had a nice little brunch with my fiancé. French toast, bacon & orange juice. SO YUMMY!
NYX will make me beautiful!!
Today was my first day in the OR and it was pretty cool!
Iv been trying to keep my sanity, my boyfriend has left for the next 4 months. the army. sigh. But im extremely proud of him.

This long weekend with loved ones was much needed. It went by way too quickly, as usual! And what a great giveaway this is! I’ve always wanted to try NYX products. 🙂
oh i love NYX!
I can remember maybe a decade ago having one NYC lipstick (and that was pretty much it) and feeling like a beauty queen every time I put it on. No one even had to see me it; it just made me happy. That’s why I like the idea of the lower-cost, more bang for your buck products like NYX. Fun!
I love your blog Karen! You know who else has really good makeup ideas? Michelle Phan, check her out on youtube : )
Trying to pass time when I should be studying for chemistry… love your blog 🙂
I listen to lil wayne all the time and I am obsessed with makeup!!! 🙂
I hate that it’s MLK day and I DO NOT have the day off from work!
i just got into nyx after ordering a few things off cherryculture and im hoooked! their lipsticks and lipglosses are lovelyyyyy
Just recently, thanks to my sister, realized that if I use a eyeshadow primer, that wet n wild eyeshadow is fantastic!!! The color last all day and thankfully its fairly inexpensive. This way I can feed my makeup obsession and save my pocket book!! Thanks for doing these fantastic giveaways! Glad you no longer have insomnia and um…. have a great day!!!
Not really sure the Football Playoff Season is something worth celebrating…seeing as how the Seahawk’s totally choked on Sunday! I’m totally willing to celebrate the holiday and three day weekends though!!! Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I am such a huge fan of the new loreal infalliable lipglosses! Check them out, beyoce red is especially stunning.
It is so cold!
Today is my dog’s birthday. We’re celebrating with peach cobbler! (Well, cobbler for me. Snausages & belly rubs for him).
Oh, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE NYX.
Awsome giveaway!
Must be mine!
Yaayyy! I love NYX – a cruelty-free, Tabs-approved drug store gem! I was incredibly lazy this weekend and did little more than catch up on sleep! 🙂
My favorite drugstore makeup is.. mascara.. Currently loving the Jordana one… or The WnW mega lash is great too.
I love NYX, which is was more accesible. These people need to start selling this in walgreens or somethig 🙂 Great giveaway 🙂
my weekend was mainly spent getting my mommy and little sister caught up on Lost. i suppose “caught up” isnt the right phrase since its over, but yeah, you get it. two more seasons left and i finally get to theorize the ending with them, so thats exciting.
whew! i almost missed the deadline!
I would be sooooo amazing to win all of this great NYX stuff! Pleeeeeeease let me win 😉
pretty sets!! Hmmm… Ill tell you about my new fave facial products!! I’m loving cetiphil and boots sensitive skin light moisturizer 😀 im so glad i found something that agrees with my oily/acne prone skin ^.^
Thanks for offering this Karen!
Right now I’m thinking about going back to school tomorrow. I’ve had a nice relaxing month off and now it’s time to stop being a bum and hit the books. I’m not sure how I feel about this; I am very good at being very lazy!
I am thinking about how awesome this prize is.
I love NYX and I love 3-day weekends! Hope you had a good weekend, Karen! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Today, my fiancée and I went to look at a wedding venue that looked really good online and from email correspondences with the site coordinator. Unfortunately, it wasn’t how we envisioned, so it’s back to the drawing board for us! =(
Love this! Love NYX! Thanks! 🙂
I love NYX!
I love the selection of makeup in this giveaway! I’ve been experimenting lately with different colors of eyeshadow on me and this would be perfect!
I also have a cat, he’s mostly white and a few black spots. I love him so much! We found him in my boyfriend’s car, he climbed there inside the car, almost near the engine! he just wanted to be ours!
kiss
I love alllllll things animal print!!! MUST HAVE that bronzer!!!
