[CLOSED!!] My 50 Follower MAC Giveaway!!!!!!!

Hey Girls! I am beyond excited to show you the prizes for my 50 follower giveaway!!! I decided that I wanted to find a few past limited edition items, from MAC that I personally have loved. So I got a Viva Glam V gift set, that comes with the makeup bag and a lipstick (Lusture) and lipglass. A Liberty of London shadow in Dames Desire (a Frost finish) and a Venemous Villans lipglass in Devilshly Stylish. 

Now, I did open the boxes so I could take pictures of the products and I didn't swatch the makeup (ew) for obvious reasons. Also in the picture of the lip products the two lipglasses look very similar! That's just the camera, the Viva Glam glass is more of a cinnamon-nude color, while the Venemous Villans glass is a champagne-pink-coral. 

okay! now the pictures!

Here are the prizes! 1 Viva Glam V makeup pouch, 1 lipstick Viva Glam V, 2 lipglasses: 1 Viva Glam V, 1 Venemous Villans Cruella DeVille, 1 eyeshadow Liberty of London Dames Disire.



The Packaging for the Viva Glam makeup! I love this!

Jergans Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Review!

If you follow me on twitter or you saw the pictures I posted, then you would know that my older brother Kellin got married three weeks ago. The dresses were absolutely gorgeous! They were my favorite color (purple) and they had beautiful pleating around the bust, I loved it, there was only one issue. The dress fell above the knee. I am naturally a very fair person, more like a brunette albino so my legs were so pasty! It was awful! I didn't want to lay out to get some color, just because of pre-mature wrinkles and skin cancer, so I turned to Jergans Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer (I used fair to medium).

The first time I used it I had to laugh, the directions said "apply until you feel a resistance" which I thought was pretty strange, turns out you really do feel a moment when it does not want to seep into your skin anymore. So after I used it for only two days, I noticed an obvious difference in my skin tone. the only problem I had with it was, the results from the mistake I was making. I'm a very impatient person and wanted full results right away, not a good thing to do! I applied a ridiculous amount meant for a few days all at one time, which caused my toes, ankles and knees orange! It was horrible, luckily it faded after a few days. 

Now I have been using Jergans for about a month now and I am very impressed. I have a summer glow, without the hours of damaging my skin and it also leaves my skin very smooth! 

Best Blog Award

I was awarded my the lovely Opal her blog is amazing and she has given me the most amazing feedback about everything that I post or something that I tweet, she is so sweet and I know that if I have a question about anything that I can ask her!

Rules:

Name your favorite color: Purple.
Name your favorite song: I am so obsessed with music, like Opal said, music is my life and I'm never not listening to it. So I don't really have just one favorite song of all time, but right now I'm loving New York is Not My Home by Jim Croce. Also Love Song For No One by John Mayer, You Never Give Me Your Money by the Beatles and Bad Things by Jace Everette (True Blood theme song).
Name your favorite desert: By far, Cheesecake I love cheesecake so much haha I could defiantly sit down and eat an entire cheesecake! Also Canoli's they are so yummy! I feel like by my desert choices I'm meant to live in New York.
Whats pissing you off? My family! Not my parents, we've always been really close but my aunts! They start family drama for no reason, it's ridiculous, they are like thirteen year olds!
When your upset you... I bother my friends and my mom talking about it until I feel better.
Your favorite pet: Cats.
Black? or White? Black.
What is your biggest fear? Spiders! I hate spiders so so much! That scene in Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets with those massive, nasty spiders with ten eyes freaks me out! I totally cried the first time I saw that movie.
What is your best feature? I'd have to say my eyes.
Everyday attitude? Happy, energetic and most likely random :) just like Opal, I too need at least 2 or 3 hours to wake up, I am not a morning person at all!
What is perfection? Perfection is what ever you think perfection is, if you think you look perfect wearing a baggy tee-shirt, some yoga pants and you hair all messed up then you do.
Guilty pleasure? Ben & Jerry's Imagine Whirled Peace ice cream (the John Lennon flavor) It's to die for!

I'm Awarding:
- Ashley
- Berniice
- Jen
- Laura

The Stylish Blogger Award!



The past couple of days has been so amazing for me, I finally reached fifty followers which just made me so ecstatic! I've been looking forward to doing a giveaway for you guys for a really long time and along the way to the fifty, I had some really amazing twitter friends that really helped me out. Including Berniice, the fabulous girl who gave me this award as well as a second Butterfly award! She's just so amazing and nice and always gives amazing feedback and comments on my posts! Now I'm going to start with linking you to the amazing Berniices page!

1. Link back to who awarded you!
Thank you again so so much Berniice! Tweeting about my follower issue and awarding me with not just one but two awards means more than you know!

2. Seven Random Things!

      1.My favorite movie of all time has to be The Field of Dreams, my dad is a huge baseball fan so I grew up loving it (and I still do) but really the Field of Dreams isn't really a baseball movie it's more about this guy and his dad, it's just amazing! Makes me cry every time I watch it! "Hey, is this Heaven?" "No, it's Iowa." I honestly don't think the trailer does it justice, it's one the Netflix on demand for the Wii and Xbox 360.

      2. When I first started using makeup I got the Bare Minerals starter kit, and now when I see the new starter kit I laugh because they come with DVD's mine came with a VHS! I still love the foundation though!

      3. I have a kitty, his name is Maxwell.

         4. My favorite color to wear is Navy Blue, I wear way to much of it!

     

      5. I love old music, Jim Croce, Fleetwood Mac, music like that!

        

         6. I have two best friends, Ginny who I go to school with and Sarah who moved to Florida two years ago.

     

Me and Ginny bee, I love her! <3
