Giveaways I have won in November

 My prize from Lisamarie's giveaway

  • Avon Healthy Makeup Mousse Foundation in Natural Beige
  • Avon Healthy Makeup Lipstick SPF 15 in Pink Light
  • Avon Healthy Makeup Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in Nude Blush
  • Avon Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow in Iced Mocha
  • Avon Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow in Violet Dusk




Mousse Foundation in Natural Beige: At first, I thought this would be a little too dark for my light skintone, but when blended, it matches perfectly! I never wear foundation and this is the first mousse foundation I get to try, and I'm pretty happy with it. It is very light and it leaves my skin so soft!

Lipstick SPF 15 in Pink Light (top) and Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in Nude Blush (bottom) : Both of those lipsticks are a little too dark for everyday wear against my light skintone, but they can easily be toned down with a single swipe. Also, in pictures, both shades look very similar...

Eyeshadow in Violet Dusk (left) and Iced Mocha (right) : These are cream to powder eyeshadows and they glide so well on the lid, but they crease like crazy )=

Thank you Tammy!

My prize from Julie's giveaway



 
  • Mega Shine Lipgloss in La La
  • Lipstick in Tea Rose
  • Eyeshadow in Sensual
  • Rouge Cream Blush in Natural
  • Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Onyx
  • Doll Eye Mascara Long Lash in Extreme Black
  • Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries 



Mega Shine Lipgloss in La La: Wow, this shade is absolutely stunning! I also like how the applicator is slightly curvy to "hug" the lips. Oh and it smells very sweet, like candy! Yummy ^^




Lipstick in Tea Rose: I had quite a hard time deciding which shade to get as it's hard to tell how the colors will come out from the swatches on the NYX website, so I browsed the net for real swatches, and I finally decided to get this neutral pink. I still think it's a little too dark for my skintone, but then again, I'm very light, so maybe I just need to get used to it.

 Eyeshadow in Sensual: I totally have a thing for those gorgeous dark glittery shades.

Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Onyx and Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries: I searched the net for swatches of the Crystal Liners and Onyx is the only one that has a colored base, so I picked it. I've heard lots of good things about the Jumbo Eye Pencils, but this one creased on me after less than 1 hour )=

Rouge Cream Blush in Natural: This is my first cream blush, and the shade is perfect. However, I find it hard to blend on the cheeks, but maybe I just have to get used to it?

Merci Julie! 

Wow, I seriously feel like it's Christmas already! I've been spoiled! Thank you so much girlies! =D

  9. wow lala is so gorgeous but I hate shimmer .. I'm scared that if I get it I won't use it. Does it look shimmery on the lips? I love mega shine glosses. Actually I love nyx overall.

  26. Tu me donnes le goût de me faire une razzia NYX!! Les jumbos pencils me tentent depuis un bon bout.

    Pour les FAP Wet N Wild, je suis vraiment surprise! La qualité semble très bonne.

    Ça y est je dois m'acheter encore des choses ! :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Gemx: Tea Rose is growing on me a bit. I'm so not used to wearing lipstick!

    @luckiebeauty: Moi je n'avais encore jamais rien essayé de NYX avant, mais tout est extra! Et pour Wet N WIld, laisse-moi te dire que je ne m'attendais pas à cette qualité non plus! Mais tout le monde semble en parler et les adorer... et elles ont bien raison (=

  37. Wow I don't even know where to start as there are so many nice things you won Gaby :) Congratulations and the swatches turned out great.
    I've never gotten use to cream blushes. Every cream blush I own is too sticky and I give up :S
    The NYX shadow in Sensual is super nice - reminds me of clubbing!
    I have one Bare Minerals ID shadow and it's amazing - I love it - super pigmented like you pointed out.

    ReplyDelete
  38. @Karen : I really like the shade of the cream blush, but I'm still not used to it, and I'm always putting on too much and I have to remove the excess LOL. It's pretty pigmented and I guess it's pretty for winter as it won't dry out my skin. Yes, I would totally wear Sensual to go clubbing, that's why I chose this shade =D
