giveaway haul | Lipstick on the Lake

Hi guys! I was super bummed that I didn’t attend Generation Beauty in Toronto last month but when I saw Bratty B was doing a giveaway on her blog I knew I had to enter! I’d never won a giveaway before so I entered and then forgot about it. That was until she emailed me to let me know that I won one of the prizes! I thought it would be fun to go over what was included in this super generous prize as if it was a haul!

Essence | How to Make Nude Eyes

This is a beautiful nude palette from Essence, which is a super inexpensive brand that I have been loving lately. The shades all swatched really nicely so I’m excited to play with it more and create some looks with it!

L to R: Eye Light Beige, Go for Gold, An Eye on Apricot, All About Nude, Nude Night Out and Team Nude

Essence | How to Make Bright Eyes

Another stunning palette from Essence! This one features pink-toned shades and again, swatched beautifully. The only one that swatched a little strangely was “Natural Beauty”… it was super soft and almost looked like it balled up or like fluff. I blended it out with my finger and it worked just fine! Both of these palettes come with little cards with ideas on how to use the shadows together which is a nice touch!
