Only Average GIVEAWAY!!!

Ok, y'all- it's time for my very FIRST giveaway!



I picked up a super cute Profusion palette on a great deal, and wanted to thank my loyal readers for sticking with me through the thick and thin, and especially when my only average life gets in the way of writing a new post!


I've never used Rafflecopter before, and I hope it works out for me today, but from what I've seen, it's the easiest way to run a fair giveaway, so here goes!



What I picked out a prize is a very nice 10 eyeshadow palette from Profusion, that includes a black eyeliner.  The palette name is Sultry & Neutrals, and is Profusion's attempt as a dupe for Urban Decay's Naked Palette.  I'm just a small blogger, and I purchased this on my own (not a sponsored giveaway), and I know it's not a HUGE prize, but I think that this pretty palette would be a great addition to anyone's makeup arsenal. 
I purchased my first Profusion palette around Christmas time, and it was the same colors that are in this one, but had a different name (different store, maybe?).  I really love all the neutral shades and how they work together.  Some are lightly pigmented, and others are very pigmented in my palette.  I'm NOT going to swatch this one because I don't want to remove the plastic and touch someone else's makeup!!  If you would like to see the review of my Profusion Neutrals palette, you can find it HERE.


I'm also including a foil pack (shudder) sample of Urban Decay's Primer Potion, so that you will have a great base the first time you use your new shadow palette!  I swear by this stuff!  If I run across any other little samples that I've not, well, sampled, I'll include them as well. 

If you would like to make this palette your very own, enter the drawing below!  Maybe one day, I'll be "big" enough to have companies give me things to give away, but until then, I hope you like this palette!


I'll ship this out in a recycled PINK Ipsy mailer, to whomever the winner is.  This giveaway is for US residents ONLY, because I am a poor blogger who can't afford international shipping.  Sorry, any non-US reader.  If this giveaway goes well, I'll talk my husband into letting me do a giveaway that is international, I promise!

So, whatcha think- did I do OK for my first giveaway?  Should I do another one soon??

  4. I really love my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil! They are super vibrant, long lasting and relatively cheap for how long they last.

  5. My favorite beauty product has to be my UDPP in Eden. It is the one that works the best for me because it is thicker than the other three. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway.

  6. My favorite product is so so simple (and underrated by most), and it's the Maybelline Coverstick concealer in light beige. It's the perfect shade for covering blemishes on my fair skin, it never breaks me out, and is waterproof (so it never smudges or fades). It's my secret weapon, since I don't look like I'm breaking out, even though I might be! Thank you so much for the giveaway!

  7. My favorite makeup items are my lipsticks and lip glosses, I love revlon lip butters, and also essence lip glosses. In the past I never wore makeup but now in my 40's I seems to be a makeup monster.

    1. One of these days, I'll post a picture of me in my early 20's- before I discovered makeup! I'm amazed at how different makeup can make anyone look! So glad I found it, and I'm glad I'm not alone in being a "latecomer". The makeup monster has me too! I love glosses, and am getting into lipstick now, also. Thanks for the suggestion :)

    1. I've tried L'Oreal's true match powder, but not their foundation. Sadly, I haven't found a "true match" for me yet :) Good luck!

  13. My favorite product is the Urban Decay primer! I love the nude Urban Decay palette so I am wondering how this one is in comparison. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    1. UDPP is the BEST out there! I recently gave Benefit's Stay Don't Stray a try, and it's good, but NOT as good as UDPP! This sample is the Original formula, so probably the same one you tried, but hey- you can never have enough UD! Good luck :)
