Okay, so this Milani Giveaway was delayed a bit, but it was worth the wait, right?
Thanks to Milani’s amazing PR team, I was able to hand-pick every single product for this giveaway! I chose 6 killer nail polishes, 1 powder eye shadow, 1 eye-shadow pencil, 1 lip gloss, and 1 liquid eye liner. Hope that you’ll like the variety of beauty products!
All of those nail polishes are ones that I’ve never tried, but have been drooling over after seeing beautiful swatches of them online. I tried to choose a variety of bright and dark shades to keep it more interesting.

One will be from Canada or the United States. The second winner will be from anywhere else in the world. Yes, this giveaway is open to ALL of my amazing readers! (Each winner will receive all the products shown in the above photo.) 🙂

Good luck in the draw! 🙂
Hi there! I’m in Canada! One product I very recently tried was an Orly 180/100 nail file! I found it a great improvement over my drugstore file. It works well to use both sides in combination 🙂 I’m also about to do my first manicure with an Essie styenomics collection colour! Thanks for the giveaway!
Hey Kat!
Cool – I haven’t heard anything about Orly’s nail files, so I’m glad you mentioned it. I’ve just been using my glass nail file for years. It took a while to get used to it, though, because it’s a bit like nails on a chalkboard…haha!
Thanks for being the very first person to enter the giveaway! 😀 You’re fast!
I just picked up Bath & Body Works’ Dreamy Vanilla Woods triple moisture body cream and I love it! It smells so good. Curiously enough, to me it smells an awful lot like the Serendipitous perfume, for a fraction of the price. The texture and consistency is great, too. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy at all.
Hey Keira!
What country are you from? I need to know that to put your name in the correct draw since there’ll be 2 winners – one from Canada/US and one International.
I’m not a make-up wearer, the only make-up I’m into is nail polish. I recently (finally) tried out my China Glaze glow in the dark topcoat! I painted a couple coats over my existing (green) mani, then did black splatters over it, so even when it’s glowing it’s splattered. =) If I hold my hands up to the light for a bit there’s a decent glow, but I think I need to sit under the light a bit longer to get a more long-lasting effect.
All the polish colors you chose for this giveaway are gorgeous. =9
(I’m in the US.)
Hey Heather!
That’s such a cool idea you had to do glow-in-the-dark plus a splattered effect! Take photos – I bet it looks really neat!
YAY – I’m glad that you liked my polish choices! Haha, I’m going to be envious of the people who win because I don’t own anything from this giveaway. But all the stuff looks great in the reviews I’ve read online.
I tried to take a picture but my phone puts off too much light for the glow-in-the-dark to be visible! I need to remember to try my proper camera…I should do it now, while I’m thinking about it. =)
How did those photos turn out using your camera?
I don’t try many new beauty products. I tend to stick with what I know do to allergies. However, I did give Cover Girl’s Lash Blast Mascara a try last week and really liked it. I also used China Glaze “Unpredictable” from the Bohemian Collection and LOVE it. The color is beyond gorgeous.
I’m in the US.
Hey Angie!
Aww…sorry to hear about your allergies. That must make it more challenging to find beauty products. I also have an allergy to one cosmetic ingredient, so I have to always read the label when it comes to products I put on my face. Otherwise, my skin (and eyes) will get red and puffy.
A few things I have tried recently:
I obtained some new Pure Fiji body products (sugar scrub, body lotion and body oil)-they are amazing and smell delicious!
I also finally got my hands on some China Glaze NP- hauled 11 at once. I’m from New Zealand and it’s pretty hard to find around here, especially at a decent price 🙂
Hey Cherie Boult!
Wow, 11 nail polishes all at once? That must’ve felt like Christmas! 😀
US here. Love everything you picked out for this give-away!
The newest thing I’ve tried was actually sent to me by a Facebook friend and that would be Mary Kay’s mineral powder. I really like the ease of which it goes on and it covered nearly all the imperfections in my skin tone.
Good luck everyone!
Angela recently posted: Orange You Glad…It’s almost Halloween!
Hey Angela!
Glad that you liked the prizes I chose. I really wanted to offer a wide variety so it would appeal to most of my readers. 🙂
I’ve been using the Hard Candy concler that they sell at Walmart and I LOVE it!! Gives great coverage and doesn’t show fine lines or dry out my skin. I think everyone should def. try it out and I really hope I can win b/c I’m in love with everything by Milani, LOL. I live in the US btw =D
Hey Momo!
I’ve heard so many great things about that concealer…and how it covers very well with just a little product! But going to a Wal-Mart is really out of the way for me, so I hardly ever shop there. I wish that Hard Candy products were sold elsewhere.
Im in the United States. One product that I have tried recently is a Jordana top coat, sorry to say but I’m not a fan of it, this product tends to make my polish bubble a ton. The first couple times it wa fine but I continued to use it and got disappointed.:(
Hey Sophie!
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve never tried that top coat, but I think I’ll steer clear of it. Besides, Seche Vite and Nubar Diamont work well for me.
Hey Mary! This is awesome! I love the updates to your page banner too. Very neat – and I’m a huge fan of the Cheshire Cat. Not too long ago I treated myself to this gorgeous Swarovski bracelet:
http://i.imgur.com/KLowe.jpg <—- How awesome is that!?
I recently used Orly Dazzle for french tips. It's a gorgeous super shiny silver and probably my favourite silver right now. Application is really great and it only needs 1 or 2 coats for super bling action.
I'm in New Zealand by the way!
Shannon recently posted: This Is Halloween and Reddit double challenge: Gradient
Hey Shannon!
Glad you liked the additions! 🙂 One of my readers, Vivian, did that for me. I really wanted to make the polish come to life, and with her talented background in graphic design, she whipped it up for me. (If you need any images, feel free to contact her. There’s a link at the very bottom.) 😀
Wow, that Cheshire Cat bracelet is really cool!
I’m in America. I recently tried and fell in love with Benefit’s Cha Cha Tint, it combines beautifully with my naturally pigmented lips and gives a great, long lasting coral color!
Hey Mary!
I’ve heard how versatile it is, too. Wish I cold try it, but I think it has one ingredient that I’m allergic to. 🙁 I’ll enjoy it vicariously through you! 🙂
I recently bought one of Urban Decay’s primers and I’ve been happy with it so far, no creasing and the shadows are nice and bright over it.
Great collection of goodies you picked out!
I’m in Canada:)
Hey Amanda!
Yay for another Canadian! 🙂
Yeah, I absolutely love the Urban Decay primers. I can use all of them except for Sin and the original one, just because of an ingredient those contain that irritates my eyes. The others don’t seem to bother my eye, though, and they keep my shadow lasting all day and night. Love them!
I have always been a lip gloss kind of girl and just recently started to wear lipstick… I’m in love…its fall and I see the trend for dark lips, so I pick up Kate 04 by Rimmel and love the dark purple lip on me…I’m in the U.S. Virgin Islands
Hey Karimah!
Dark lips is so chic – love the look!
I’ve recently tried the nailpolish Catrice Paris from the Big City Life LE.
I like the color a lot, but it could be more opaque.
I’m in Germany.
Hey Julie!
Everyone talks about how great Catrice is, but I’ve never tried anything from them. I’ve drooled over many swatches online, though. 😉
Picked up quite a few things at a beauty expo that was held in Johannesburg, South Africa in September. Still have a few untrieds but something that I picked up besides a crap load of nail polishes, was a soy body massage candle by Indulgence Spa Products. I love it! It works great for massages as you don’t need to use tons. It can also be used as a moisturiser! Plus my room permanently smells like vanilla/lavender lately, which is awesome!
Shout out from South Africa! 😀
Hey Thea!
Having your room smell divine is such an added bonus! 🙂
Hi Mary! I recently bought a nude colored eyeliner from pixi that was supposed to make my eyes appear bigger and more “awake”. Sadly I was disappointed with the results. It didn’t make enough of a difference to be worth the price. :/
Thanks for the giveaway! Your blog entries give me something to look forward to each morning. 🙂
Oh! I’m for the US, by the way. :p
Hey Katie!
Aww, sorry to hear that it didn’t work out for you. But I hope that you found something better that did the job.
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy visiting my blog! And sorry for the delayed reply. I’m trying to catch up with a lot of the comments on this and the other post where I met Suzi of OPI. Hopefully I’ll be able to reply to everyone’s comments!
I’m from the US
I just recently used Sinful Colors nail polish Lets Meet and I was a little disappointed how sheer it was. I applied two coats of it and even then in real light its just…too sheer and too sparkly. I’m one of those people who doesn’t enjoy applying several coats of nail polish. I’m impatient when it comes to them drying XD. But now I know to find a more opaque yellow brand. Any suggestions?
Mani recently posted: Cat Scratch Fever
Hey Mani!
I know how you feel. I also dislike having to apply more than 3 coats of polish…unless the colour is truly spectacular.
That’s a good question. I actually haven’t come across a really opaque yellow polish yet! For some reason, they always seem to need 4 or more coats! 🙁
Hi! Great giveaway! I recently tried maybelline’s cat eye mascara and love it! The brush is sturdy and really angles my lashes for a cat eye look.
Hey Nikki!
How awesome! I’ve always wanted to try a cat-eye look – very dramatic!
I’m in America (Kansas) and I most recently tried to Maybelline Color Tattoos! I was lucky enough to get the limited edition fall neutral shades for nearly free at CVS a month or so back. I LOVE them and have been wearing them nearly every time I wear makeup!
I tried Revlon lipstick colour Burst 080 strawberry shortcake its so lovely , Moisturized and great for daily look .

Hi Mary, I’m from Canada but I recently took a trip to NYC an bought the Milani one coat glitter in Sliver Dazzle. It took two coats but the glitter effect was amazingly beautiful. I would look to win this giveaway and try some more of their amazing products.
Hi ! Thank you for this opportunity to win. I tried wet n wild eye shadow pallette for the first time, what was I waiting for? I am in Ca, USA. Thanks and good luck !

I recently tried this mineral veil that I had won from a giveaway from D&E Handmade Cosmetics and it’s wonderful! It’s light enough for my skin tone and it sets my BB cream well.
I am from Canada :3 And this giveaway looks fantastic! I’ve never tried anything by Milani before.
I am a nail polish addict, but i’m going to tell you about some make-up i recently tried. I’m now using Bare Mineral loose powder foundation, it is amazing! I wish i would have tried it sooner, it does not cause me any break outs at all, plus makes my face look air-brushed. Love it!! 🙂
I’m in the US.
Hi Mary! I’m from Canada (like you!), Québec (not like you 🙁 ) and here, we don’t have much Milani products. 🙁 They are only sold at Maxi (which is like the sister company of Loblaws) and they don’t even have the Liquif’Eye eyeliner!!! 🙁 Actually, they don’t have any of the new collection that I see all over the blogosphere. T-T
The latest beauty product that I’ve tried is the Maybelline felt-tip eyeliner. I think it’s called something Stiletto… I had to pratice quite some time before getting the hang on it and even then, I often mess up my “cat-eye”. Lol! I’m a little bit disappointed because I wish the liner would be blacker. It fades a bit during the day and turns kinda grey-ish/brown-ish.
Anyway, thank you so much for this giveaway and good luck to all your readers! 😀

A beauty product I tried recently was castor oil, and I think it works wonderful when u have a stressed skin.
I also tried l’oreal infallible eyeliner, i’m not that satisfied yet, i think the pencil is hard, but maybe after using it awhile it will be got smoother.
and the color pay off and how long it stays it is not what it claims
Btw I am in Curacao An island in the dutch Antilles
Hey Mary! I’m in Canada, we’re basically neighbours I think 😉
A couple of weeks ago my youngest sister went shopping and went to Bath and Body Works (without me, shame on her!) and she got the new Cashmere Glow spray and lotion. She let me try the lotion (I LOVE their lotions) and O.M.G. This is a fragrance everyone should definitely try! I couldn’t stop smelling my hands 😉 She said she would sell me a bottle of her spray, but I have enough in my stash that I told her no thanks (maybe I’ll get a bottle for Christmas!) but I would definitely buy it for myself (over and over and over again) 😀
Thanks for doing this giveaway!
P.S. – where can you buy Miliani polishes? I have been wanting to try their white, but because I’m in the “stix” I don’t have access to it, and my closest Sally’s is about an hour away.
Erica recently posted: Free Gift from Julep
Hi there, I’m in the US 🙂 . Something new I’ve tried lately (I think its beauty related) is these cans of hair color I bought at rite aid in the Halloween section of course. I bought it to use on my sons hair as he got a horrific haircut from a ditz at the salon I was going to. To make a long story short, we are spiking his hair in a Moha wk atm and blasting it with the colors to make it look better. They work really well, I was surprised. I even went back and bought all the other colors they had.

Been in love with Quo Back to Basics palette (I just posted today), and I’m from Canada lol. Thanks for the giveaway
I’m also not a makeup wearer due to my sensitive skin, so nail polish it is. I’m currently wearing Essie Going Incognito which is incredible (I love green polish). And I just bought OPI Mermaid’s Tears which has been discontinued and a bit hard to find.
I’m from North Borneo, Malaysia.
Hi Mary! This is such a great giveaway! What a wonderful opportunity to have both giveaways going on at the same time. You really are too generous!
I recently tried Maybelline Illegal length Mascara and really loved it! This past summer when I was lighting the BBQ it blew up in my face and signed half the length of my eyelashes off. So I was looking for something that would give me my old length back. This worked great and once they had grown back in, I can now have extreme lashes when I want!
I’m from Canada as well 🙂 And follow on all the various platforms!

I’m from the US. I have recently tried pure ice nail polish and I absolutely love it. Thank you for such a great giveaway 🙂
Hey Mary!
Cool giveaway, thanks for having it! Everything you picked out looks really nice 🙂
Humm other than nail polish, I haven’t tried out any new mu items. I like to stick to what I love, which is beige/taupe-y es shadows, grey/black/brown eyeliner and mascara. SOO I will tell you about my most-est favourite-est (hee hee) mu product in the whole world: MAC Fluid Line in Black Track… Have you tried it yet? I love how you have complete control of the product. I use it on my upper lashes, and water lines (upper and lower)… but not all at once. I never used to wear black liner bc I found it to be very harsh looking next to my pale skin/eyes… but with BT I can make the liner SUPER thin, and its perfect! I highly recommend it to everyone. I am not one of those girls who are perfect at applying MU, BUT I have gotten compliments on my liner when I first started using BT.
Thanks again for letting me enter your give-aways!

Hi! I’m in the U.S. I love all the product you chose. The only thing from Milani that I have tried was a lipstick that was my absolute fav, and then it got discontinued 🙁 Recently I’m loving the Orly Flash Glam FX nail polishes, especially Sashy My Way. I didn’t think I would like it, because I usually stay away from gold, but I don’t know it just looks awesome over any color I have tried.
Hey there! I’ve always been on the search for a mascara I really like and get on with, especially as I just can’t seem to get the hang of false lashes! (My eyesight in my right eye is awful so I struggle to do anything if I have to close my left eye!) I recently bought “They’re real!” mascara by Benefit and I love it! Easy to apply and my eyelashes look really long, and lifted and separated. The first night I wore it a guy friend even asked me if I was wearing false eyelashes.
I’m in the UK. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi there! I’m from Latvia. I’ve recently tried Cuccio Naturale Pomegranate & Fig daily skin polisher. I use it mostly on my hands. It’s a very gentle scrub, but the scent! It is delicate, yet absolutely awesome.
Viktorija recently posted: China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires
Cool giveaway! I’m in Australia, and I’ve bought a couple of Milani products of Cherry Culture and Beauty Joint. I’ve recently tried essence’s clear brow and lash gel and it’s pretty good, it holds my brows in place fairly well. It’s not the strongest brow gel I’ve tried, but it’s the cheapest, which is what you want for a product you use every day!
Reader from Spain here. What a great giveaway! I love Milani polishes, I’ve tried a few and they’re fantastic.
A product I’ve recently tried is the Illamasqua Cream Blush (a shade called Betray). I had tried cream blushes years ago and I found them impractical, sticky, greasy, and in general hard to use. But this is completely different: it blends easily, gives a very natural glow, and looks better on my dry skin than traditional powder blushes. Now I’m thinking of getting one or two more for Christmas…
Hi, Mary!
Sweden follows you as well. 🙂 Or at least, I know two girls here who do.
My most recent new item –
H&M nail polish remover in a pump bottle. When Tracy and I went shopping in Uppsala, we picked up the pump bottles. Wow – what a disappointing remover.
The bottles work great. Put the cotton ball or pad on top and pump a few times and the remover is ready to go – but this formula is quite weak and couldn’t do a cleaning job on 2 layers of polish plus a topcoat. So, we both ended up dumping it and filling the fabulous pump bottle with better brands.
Everything else I’ve been doing lately is all old stuff. 🙁
I need to go shopping. 🙂
Thanks for two-in-a-row giveaways that are good internationally, and congratulations on the increased readership here!
Hi Mary,
I’m from the US. I love all the iteams that you picked out, great job. :~) I have 2 new iteams that I like. The 1st is Neutrogena body lotion. I only use this for my face. It’s light, smell is not bad and it’s not too strong. I use less than a dime size and it covers my face really well and it absorbs fast and is light and not greasy feeling. The 2nd is Nivea Soft Face/body/hands. I only use this for my hands. It’s a littler heavier than the Neutrogena. I use it right before going to bed and when I get up in the morning my hands are nice and soft. My cuticles are nice and soft as well. It absorbs a little slower than the Neutrogena but works great. Great Job as always. Have a great week. :~)

Hi hi, great giveaway. One thing I tried recently is the Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencil. OMG I love it love it (or maybe it’s just the colour i love)
It goes on smooth and last basically all day.
Anyway I’m from Trinidad and Tobago
Hey Mary!
I recently tried Julep polish – i signed up to be a maven with their $0.01 first box.. and I was actually somewhat impressed. I got pedi creme which is kind of neat, kind of greasy though, so i completely understand why they say to use it before bed.. i was sliding around my tile floors :-\ the polish i got was a brown-y purple and then i got the cantaloupe colored one. the formula wasn’t too bad.. but the brush on the darker one was kind of… messy? like it looked like it had a bad hair day.
Anyway, I’m in the US and your giveaways rock!
I recently tried Revlon Colorstay foundation. (Finally- I know I am late to the party on this!) Love the coverage, and it really does last all day, even on my oily skin. The only downside is that it’s so hard to remove! I have to use an oil-based cleanser AND my Clarisonic!
I’m in the US.
Hi, thank you for this great giveaway!
I’ve recently tried the nail polish ‘Cute as Button’ (Essie) and i loved it, it’s a beautiful pink with hints of purple, it’s gorgeous.
I’m from Belgium.
Have a nice day.
Hi! I’m in the US. I recently tried Urban Decay’s Naked Skin foundation. It looked nice on, but after about 2 hours, I was getting pretty oily. Not sure if I’ll purchase a full size. GREAT giveaway, BTW!! 🙂
Hi Mary,
I’m in Belgium. I recently tried OPI “The Living Daylights” from the Skyfall Collection. It’s a beautiful polish full of gold, silver, blue and pinkish hexagon glitter. I’ve received lots of complements for it but it was horible to remove… D:

Hi Mary,
I’m from Canada, like you. Wonderful idea for a give-away! Thanks so much for doing this.
I’ve been looking for a make-up remover lately that wouldn’t bother my sensitive skin or be so oily I’d need cleanser to cleanse the make-up remover. I’ve been trying Paula’s Choice Gentle Touch Makeup Remover (www.cosmeticscop.com) and I have to say that it’s the best I’ve ever used. No oily residue and nothing to set off my sensitivities.
I’ve also been using Quo Total Perfection Face Primer under my tinted moisturizer and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a smooth look before. Love it!
Hi Mary!
I’m writing from the US. I just discovered my favorite mascara not too long ago–L’Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. It’s great for volume and length, plus a little goes a long way! I also just tried a Milani blush in Dolce Pink–such a nice pink with shimmer!
Hi Mary! I’m not big on makeup but I love body lotions/scrubs/wash. I tried Suave Candy Apple Body Wash recently….Yummy!! I love that it is so inexpensive yet works just like the high end brands.
I’m in the US!
I don’t really try new beauty products that often, I’m pretty faithful to what works. But I did have a mascara gifted to me that I recently tried, Maybelline Falsies Volume Express. Now, since I’ve used Maybelline Great Lash for years and years, I had a bit of difficulty with the Falsies brush. But it would have been an okay adjustment if the formula was not waterproof. YUCK. Hate the effort it takes to remove that, so I have relegated it to ‘occasions where I might cry’ and have gone back to Great Lash. 🙂
I’m in Canada, whoo-hoo!
Thanks for the chance to win, and the care you took in choosing the products. LOVE LOVE LOVE the products you chose! I’ve been tempted to buy “Totally Cool” for awhile, so it would be so fun if I won!
Hi! The most recent purchase for me was Biotherm’s fragrance “L’eau de paradis”. It’s refreshing and the colour of the liquid is pink! I know, I know, not a good reason to get it, but it’s pretty and the scent is really nice and on the sweeter side. Plus, I got it at a warehouse sale so it was cheap too!
Thanks for this giveaway. I’m from Canada! yay!!!

I’m in the USA, and I recently picked up Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara and I’m not exactly sure how I feel about it! I like that my lashes don’t end up so clumped together and that they do feel softer than other mascaras, but I was hoping for….more? I don’t hate it by any means and I don’t regret buying it, I’m just not in love with it as most people!
Thanks for yet another awesome giveaway!!
I’ve been using OPI Original Nail Envy for a couple of months now and finally seeing results! It’s the first basecoat I have found out of MANY that is making my nails stronger and healthier. I tried to avoid using it because of the cost, but it’s just one of those products that works!
Love the giveaway! I’m from Canada 🙂

I am a fellow Canadian who unfortunately does NOT buy a lot of makeup… honestly, the last ‘beauty product’ I bought was Lemony Flutter for my cuticles. (which I LOVE); I am so inept when it comes to makeup (this loot would be a treat for me 😀 ).
You picked some lovely prizes, thank you for this opportunity.

I recently tried Clean & Clear’s “CONTINUOUS CONTROL® Acne Cleanser” …I wasn’t a fan unfortunately. It just didn’t work for me; I used it for a few weeks and continued to have acne.
I’m in the US. 🙂
Hi Mary,
I recently tried a few Leighton Denny’s that have been waiting in my stash to be tried for a while now, my favourites were – Stormy Weather (Core Range), Starlet (Dramatic Collection), Jailbird (Criminal Collection) and Big Bang (Atmospheric Collection). Also starting to collect A England’s (amazing!) and Illamasqua’s.
I’m in the UK! Thank-you 😉
Canada, represent! 🙂
Something new I’ve tried are La Fresh nail polish remover pads… they smell great, are alcohol-free, and one tiny pad gets rid of 10 nails (finger or toe)! They’re a welcome replacement for the regular acetone removers I’ve used.
I recently tried out “Just Spotted the Lizard.” I liked it, but I was hoping for a little bit of a stronger duochrome. After a couple of days I really liked it though.
I’m in Canada.
I’ve recently tried Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey and I love it. It’s a perfect color for me and lasts for hours.
I’m in the US.
Yay! This is such an awesome giveaway. I think it’s so amazing that you have sponsors who will help with this, and that you take your time to pick out great stuff for us to win! 🙂
When I was in southern France this summer, my (girl) friend had a crazy glitter-obsession. She ended up pullong me along for the ride and we had the weirdest “Edward-jokes” – none of us are “twihards” (I believe that’s the name for Twilight fans? :p), but we had a shitload of fun with it.
I ended up buying a glittering dry oil, I think the brand is called Monoï, otherwise it’s lovea. It’s not quite clear to me – yay for French, haha.
It contains no parabens and I love putting a bit of it on my shoulder-chest-neck area if I’m going out. I think it’s a nice little detail since I don’t usually wear heavy make-up 🙂

Hi Mary! I am in Canada (Ontaro). I love your nailpolish swatches and always look forward to your latest examples. My last addition to my nailpolish fetish is Gosh Galaxy-great shade-very interesting and even better than what you see in the bottle.
oops typo! Ontario
From US 🙂 all of these prizes are great! I recently tried eye shadows pencils a set of 6 I bought from Ross and I really liked them I thought they would crease fast but they lasted most of the day 🙂
I recently tried smashbox camera ready BB cream. This “beauty balm” cream is a 5-in-1 product that is similar to a tinted moisturizer. I am not a big fan of foundation so I was drawn to this product for sheer coverage. This product is also has a SPF of 35 which helps to protect my skin. I have oily skin and although this product claims to help with controlling oily skin, I found that I needed to powder my skin within a couple of hours of using this product. I have noticed some other BB’s on the market and wonder how they compare with Smashbox? I am now using this product on a daily basis along with a bronzed to help give my face a warm and polished look. I would definitely recommend this product.
Btw, I am from Canada.
Great giveaway Mary! Great choice in products too! I don’t know if you would consider this a beauty product, but I did try using acrylic paint for nail art and I found out it’s so much easier than using nail polish because it’s more opaque. Also, I did try the One ‘n’ Only Argan Oil you reviewed earlier this week. It works amazing. Where do you buy Milani products in Canada. By the way, I live in Canada too.
I’m from the US and I love your blog!
Maybe it’s not really a “beauty” product, but I recently tried Elmer’s glue as a peel-off basecoat for glitter bomb polishes–it totally works!! I change my polish just about everyday so not sure how long it lasts, but it did last through several hand washings and some light dishwashing. I will no longer fear glitter removal 🙂
Cool idea!
Hi Mary, this is a fantastic giveaway, I have recently fallen in love with Milani cosmetics. My two favorite new things I have tried were the L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadow and the Maybelline Color Tattoo. I love them both so much that the one of each that I started with (Glistening Garnet Infallible and Tough as Taupe Color Tattoo) grew to about 6 of each within 2 weeks! Thanks for a great contest!
PS I’m in the U.S.
I am from the US and I just tried Milani Shadow eyez 12 HR pencil- and I love it! It just needs a good primer before application.
What a great giveaway! I am from Canada (Montreal represent!) and I just recently tried Illamasqua Noble because of your beautiful swatches. At first I thought it was a dupe for Zoya Robyn, but in the sun the colour really comes alive, it’s so vibrant and saturated! Gorgeous.
I’m in Canada – recently, for me, it’s been all about the eye primers. I can’t believe how much longer my eyeshadow stays and how good it looks when I use a dab of primer as opposed to without. Currently my fave is Starlooks primer.

Hi there! I’m from the US, and my new favorite beauty product is Wet N’ Wild MegaLiner Liquid Eye Liner. I use the waterproof version, and it lasted all day long! It’s jet black, and the felt tip made it easy to apply. And it’s only $2.99! Thanks for the giveaway! =)
I recently started using moroccan oil and I love what it does for my hair. I don’t use it every day since my hair isn’t very dry.

Hii! I’m from the U.S and I recently discovered L’oreal Magic Lumi foundation, and I love it. It has great coverage and a great finish! It doesn’t highlight dry spots, and evens out your skin tone. You should try it!

Hi! I live in the United States. I recently purchased NYX blush in pinched from all the rave reviews that I’ve seen. I have to say, this blush is a total win!
Hi there,
I recently tried Rouge in Love lipstick by Lancome! I was pleasantly suprised that this long wear lip pigment didn’t dry out my lips like so many other long wear lip colors do! The pigment lasts for up to 6 hours, and while it goes on shiny becomes matte rather quickly. The matte finish is easily rejuvinated by lip blam.
Love your blog!

I just bought my first bottle of Pomegranate nail polish (in Curator) and I’m in LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! The formula was fantastic. It’s making me want more!
I bought the Tarte Carried Away set. I love all of the shadow colors that came in it; the formula on most of them is pretty great, although it’s a pit thin/patchy on some and those are harder to build up consistent coverage.
Hey Mary,
Awesome giveaway! Love your new header too – super cute!!
I bought two of the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters a few months ago when they first came out. I wasn’t a fan, but I’ve given them a second shot in the last couple of weeks and now I’m in love! So weird how that happens. I think it could have been a seasonal thing.Here in Australia we were in Winter and now in Spring so I think perhaps they weren’t quite moisturising enough for winter but are good now it’s a bit warmer? Or I just changed my mind! haha
I’m in Australia!!
Hi! I’m from Argentina, i really like your blog! In fact, my last beauty products purchases were iinspired by it. I bought China Glaze nail polishes (Exotic Encounters and Man Hunt). They are lovely. Great giveaway. Thanks!
Hi Mary, thanks for this competition!
I recently tried Napoleon Perdis’ Long Black mascara. The definition and curl it gives my lashes is great, but the smudging is horrific! The hunt for the perfect mascara continues. Well okay, I’ve found my perfect mascara (YSL Faux Cils), but it’s so expensive and I get through it so fast (I’ve had 3 or 4 tubes to date) that I’m always looking for lower priced alternatives!
I’m in New Zealand 🙂
American here! I recently bought my first OPI polish, German-icure. IT IS FABULOUS. I only needed one coat and after four days, the only chipping is some tip wear (because I use my hands wayyyyy too much lawl). I am in love.
I’m in the U.S.A and I recently bought (and am using) Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter cuticle cream. So far I love it although the smell leaves a little to be desired 🙂
One product I just tried was Sinful Colors Quick Dry. I wanted something easier to use than Seche Vite. I put it over two coats of Wet n Wild 2% Milk and two coats of Bonita Bubble Gum Sparks ( a jelly sandwich! ). The texture of Quick Dry is actually more like an oil than a gloss. I found the thin, rigid brush hard to work with ( it sticks on your polish). It did cut the dry time of the top coat, but maybe because I didn’t wait at all between layers of polish at the end the manicure ended up a mess. SCQD is three free, does NOT have Seche’s chemical smell. I’d have to try it again over less coats of polish to see if I can recommend it.
I’m writing to you from the wonderful city of La Ceiba, in Honduras! i love your blog!
Woohoo! Another awesome giveaway; thanks for setting this up! You must have been a busy beaver for a while! 🙂
A beauty product I tried recently was an body scrub from BBW that I got for a good price during the Semi-Annual Sale. The scent was Into the Wild. I liked the scent, and the scrub was effective, but also rather harsh on my skin. I’ve kept it around and use it VERY occasionally–it does the job well but I don’t want to irritate my skin by using it too often. Oh, and I’m in the USA 🙂
Just tried Rimmel’s Exaggerate Waterproof Eyeliner…its still early but so far so good!
I’m from Canada! Yay!…or is it “Eh” lol 😉
Heart your blog! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m sure I’m well behind pretty much everyone who reads your blog, but I finally tried Seche Vite. I bought the top coat and base coat and they are amazing! I just recently had to start doing my own nails so I never looked into it. I would go to the spa every two weeks and sit back lol. Now I actually have fun doing them! I have no patience when it comes to letting my nails dry, but this stuff helps speed up the process big time.
I’m from the US and thanks for the chance to win!
I’m in Italy and I’ve recently got the Julep’s cuticle oil in a swap. OMG I love it much more than any other cuticle oil I’ve ever used! And the lavender scent is a plus, I prefer it to the usual lemon.

I finally broke down and got Bad Gal mascara. LOVE it! Huge kapow lashes, the wand is super fat and the color is nice and dark. I also tried Ulta’s nail polish when it was on sale. I was pleasantly surprised. The color is good and it wears like iron. I’m in the Heartland of the USA.
I’m from Greece and I tried recently YSl volume effet faux cils shocking mascara and I’m in love with it, it is definitely worth its money…
I love your polish choices!!
I recently ordered L’Occitane’s body sorbet in lemon verbena (I’m addicted to lemon verbena lately). It’s a body lotion but its unlike anything I’ve ever used! It’s not super thick like a body butter but it moisturizes wonderfully while soaking in quickly. And it smells fabulous!!
Thanks for the chance. I’m in the USA.
Thank you for this giveaway! I am in the U.S., in South Florida.
I have tried a few beauty products lately. I tried the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I like it a lot, but I am over 40, and I wish they had included more matte shadows because shimmer shadows are not as flattering at my age. I also recently tried Sally Hansen’s cuticle remover & balm, the one with the green and white swirls, and I don’t like it because it leaves a residue on my cuticles that looks like gray gunk, and I have to use an orange stick while scrubbing to get the gunk off. Also recently tried Badger Balm, and it’s good, but it’s not as good as my cuticle oil or as petroleum jelly at moisturizing. Oh, and I tried Monistat anti-chafing gel as a primer and love it!

I recently tried Clarins Gentian cleansing milk, which is absolutely amazing! I have very sensitive skin that is both oily and dehydrated, so I never quite dare to try new products, but the Clarins cleansing system is so kind to skin that it doesn’t give me break outs and it doesn’t sting. Amazing product, wish I had tried it before! Have you ever tried any Clarins products? xx
hey Im lucy and I’m from the UK.
I recently tried essie bikini so teeny. I love the colour and how it applied, was a little disappointed that the shimmer didn’t show up as well on the nails though. I also found my seche vite changed the colour of it. I wore it for a week whilst I was on holiday and it held up quite well only a few chips when I came back

Hi Mary!
I am in the USA. I recently tried Maybelline Eyestudio’s Gel Eyeliner and I LOVE IT! It is very precise and gives a great effect. Thanks for your generous giveaway!
I recently tried Kleankolor’s Bite Me nail polish and I really love the color! It’s such a fun, sparkly red. Thanks for the giveaway. I’m from the US.
Hi Mary! I live in Italy. Recently I don’t have so much time to try beauty products but: I have finally tried the golden eyeliner from Lush, Fantasy and it totally satisfied me! The little brush is easy to handle, the colour is a bright gold and it lasts a lot. It lasted all the day when I wore it last time (on sunday) and without damages. I liked also a lipgloss from Models Own which became my favourite lipgloss: Madame Rose lipgloss, which is a coral pink lipgloss, nice colour and wonderful taste 🙂 Thanks for this giveaway!!

I don’t use makeup actually, but I would love to have the chance to! I guess the latest product would be Joe Fresh nail polish. I think their formulas are a lot smoother than any other out there. Maybe not the longest lasting, but the best application.

The latest new product that I have tried is Maybelline ColorShow nail polish LE in Metal Icon. I put it on my nails three days ago, with no base coat or topcoat, and even with my housework, it still looks fresh and great! It’s a beautiful shade and perfect for this season. Thank you for the giveaway, Mary; these polishes are gorgeous!

Yeah a fellow Canadian! I just found your blog when I was searching for a review of a nail polish I just bought – finally taking the plunge and have been going for colour on my nails! One makeup product I just tried and really liked was the Loreal BB, went on beautifully and just the right amount of coverage.
Good luck to all!

Even though I haven’t used it yet I was finally able to purchase Seche Vite’s famous top coat and I’m looking forward to using it 😀 and I’m in the US

The last thing I bought were 6 Color Club polishes and their top coat. I wore Nomadic in Nude for the last week and loved it. It applied beautifully for such a pale color (only 2 coats needed) and showed only minor tipwear after 5 days. Yesterdays heavy garden work killed it, however. I just changed it for Earthy Angel and hope it holds up just as well.
BTW: I’m from Germany
I’m in Canada, and the latest beauty product I’ve tried is one I just picked up last night. I have increasingly sensitive skin on my face and have mild rosacea, so my beauty products are needing some changes. I needed a moisturizer, and so I bit the bullet and picked up Clinique’s redness solution line’s moisturizer. It felt nice when I put it on this morning and it’s got a faint green tint to it (to help with redness, I’m thinking). The stuff was expensive, so I hope it works well for me.
I just found your blog, and I’m thrilled to see another Canadian voice! I keep drooling over all the pretty things that come out in the US that never seem to make it to Canada, and it gets annoying after a while. I’m sure you understand. 😉
Hi, Mary! I’m in the US. I recently tried out some of the Layla holos. OMG, they are super gorgeous! They are really, really finicky though. It breaks my heart that I’m going to have to play with them some more to get the application right. ;-D

I’m in the US. Well, I recently bought a whole bunch of new stuff at Ulta. I just bought the NYX HD Concealer in Fair. The color is a bit light (the next shade up was too dark), I haven’t really fully tested it yet, but so far I love it. It competes with all the other expensive concealers I tested at Ulta.
I love Milani!justbrecently tried them! I’m in the us, thnk you for this opportunity and hosting the giveaway!
hi Mary – thanks so much for this great opportunity and contest. My name is Lynsey and I am from Vermont, USA.
A product that I have tried recently is Duri Rejuvacote. My nails are very fragile and I am in need of a good base coat so I always am on the lookout for something that protects my nails. Rejuvacote is a great product. I was thrown off at first by it because it has a pink tint to it but it didn’t even show up when I put it on my nails. The only down fall so far with the Rejuvacote is that it chips if i put too many coats of it on – other then that it is great. Another product that I have been recently using is the Burts Bee’s lemon balm for nails. That stuff is great and really seems to condition my nails. It smells so nice and makes my cuticles easier to deal with. Hope all is well with you. Have a great day! -Lynsey
Canadian here! Recently got Butter London’s Henley Regatta. Beautiful sparkly blue but it chipped after a few days. Not sure if it was because I layered on so many layers or what so I’m a bit disappointed. It felt kind of gloopy too. Luckily it was free because I’m not ready to spend 18$ on something that chipped so fast…
Hi Mary, I’m in the U.S. I tried the Fresh Sugar lip treatment recently (Sephora’s free birthday gift) and it is really nice! Feels light but still very moisturizing. I’m not sure if I can justify the price to buy a full size once this runs out though…it’s over $20. 🙁
I’m a follower from Sweden. I don’t use many beauty products other than polish but lately I’ve been hooked on a BB cream from Garnier, Miracle Skin Perfector. I’ve used it every single day since I discovered it in May!
Thanks for the great giveaways, I get so happy when I find one open internationally 🙂

I am soo thrilled with my new eyeshadow trios from Wet n Wild. I’ve tried out several so far and loved the formula. They apply smoothly with no fall out, the color has good pigmentation, it lasts all day on my eyes and that’s from 0500 until after 7pm when I get off work. I’ve tired 4 so far, and went back to get the rest of the available trios since I liked the formulas so much! I’ve tried Walking on Eggshells, I Got Good Jeans, Silent Treatment, and I Dream of Greenie. They all look great on me. I’m from the USA!
The product I think you need to know about is Aussie Girl Cosmetics. Being from Australia, I love supporting local products and these two lovely ladies have create some magical nail polishes! They are stunning, apply beautifully and have manyyy colours. Love love love them!
I tried maybelline mascara..the one in the hot pink tube with the bright green top. I liked it, I liked how the brush was small enough to get little lashes.

Pretty much the only products I buy are nail-related… right now I’ve been loving Badger Cuticle Care, I think I prefer it to Burt’s Bees and Lemony Flutter, as well the other cuticle products I’ve tried. It smells really nice, absorbs quickly, and seems really moisturizing!
Also, I’m in Canada.
Awesome giveaway!! On your recommendation, I tried Seche Vite top coat for the first time yesterday … I can tell it’s totally going to be a life-changer for me. 🙂 So excited!!
I live in the U.S.
I rarely wear makeup. And I can only do the basics with that I have. BUT for some reason if you want makeup to make you look dead. I’m the girl. Scars, gashes, bullet wounds…I can do it. Anyways the last make up I tried was this Special FX scar putty and generic cream makeup that I think I got from Value Village for a giant gash I did on my arm. While it looked amazing the putty made my arm feel itchy while I was wearing it. When I took it off my arm was fine. I’ll probably use up the rest of the putty I have by them but try and find something different next time. Also the putty is SUPER messy. I have to put it in the fridge before I use it and even then it’s still a pain. And you have to apply it quickly because if you don’t it becomes an unmanageable mess. Oh and I’m in Canada 🙂

Hi! I am Irina, and I live in Romania. I recently tried Moroccan Oil for the first time, and it really felt like a miracle. I have pretty wild, dry, frizzy, curly hair, but after applying just a bit of the oil, my hair was left a lot softer, shinier and frizz-free. I really love this product.

I’mlateI’mlateI’mlateI’mlate! I left this tab open for too long, because I was wondering what I could say about a recent beauty product I’ve used… 8| I almost missed the deadline!
Lately I’ve been working at a cafe, sometimes as a cook and sometimes as a barista, and it’s like 60 hours a week so I haven’t had much time for new beauty products in the recent past. One thing I did try was not exactly a *beauty* product, but it was a new product- PVC glue as a base coat for glitter manis. It saves the hassle of using the tinfoil method or scrubbing for hours to remove glitter! Instead you peel it right off. The wear isn’t as long as it would be with a regular base coat, but it does stay on for a few days if you’re careful. It didn’t last a single shift at the cafe, but I use my hands pretty hard in this job. I imagine once I get back to a desk job (and a normal number of hours!) I’ll be able to make it last a full run.

Hi
I’m from the UK here – the last beauty product I tried was the OPI DS series colour ‘reserve’.
