My First Giveaway!

Before getting to the good stuff, I'd like to give a really big thank you to all of you.
Not too long ago I hit 200 followers which was a big milestone for me. I remember when I first started and for the first few weeks I stayed at 3-10 followers and feeling like it'd take forever to even get to 20 and each new one got me and still gets me so excited! It seems like time has flown by and I've loved every second of it. I've loved meeting so many different talented people and personalities, the different blogs and opinions. There hasn't been even one second where I've regretted starting a blog and I give that credit to you guys for making what I do worth it.
I love every single follow, comment, like, you name it.

Also, a huge thank you to those of you who continue to read my blog, every new post, always commenting and supporting me in every way you can. I appreciate that more than I can explain. It really means the world to me!

And now.. 

*All prizes are new and bought with my own money unless stated otherwise*
Smith Farms Marshmallow Face Cream 
I am absolutely 100% in love with this moisturizer/face cream. It's the best I've ever tried and I will continue to use it for as long as I can get my hands on it! This product is a definite favorite because not only does it leave my skin soft and moisturized, I notice a decrease in redness and blemishes by morning! It's not greasy or oily at all, it feels so light and smells wonderful. I'm so glad I am able to include this in my giveaway since that is initially how I came to love it.
(See my review here)

*This product was sent to me for the purpose of this giveaway*
Almay One Coat Dial Up Mascara (Blackest Black)
I wasn't expecting much from this mascara when I first tried it but it actually surprised me. I usually stick to the #1 setting because it gives me really natural and pretty looking lashes but still adds length and some volume. I don't like clumpy mascaras at all which is what really landed this mascara as a favorite since it doesn't smudge, clump, or "bleed".

5pc Dotting Tool Set
Whether you're into nail art or not, you really need to have a dotting tool set. Why not a cute and colorful one? I love how easy dotting tools make designs and I had to include this set in this giveaway since it provides such a nice variety of sizes.

elf Liquid Eyeliner (Black)
This was actually the first elf product I've ever tried and like the Almay mascara, I wasn't expecting much. I switched from a Maybelline eyeliner that would always transfer so I figured hey, why not? This eyeliner, for me, holds up pretty darn well. I don't have any smudges, transferring to my lid, or bleeding. With that being said, I always wear eye primer and the results I got were results wearing it over UDPP. I wanted to include this because I feel it's a really good eyeliner for the price of it and it was just an extra favorite to throw in! (Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on my current favorite eyeliner. This was my previous!)



China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy
Ever since I received this color from Traci (well, even before!) I've been obsessed with it! It's such a gorgeous neon and applies so nicely with full opacity in two coats. I really love this polish and I'm sure most of you already have it but I had to include it! Who couldn't use a back up, right?


China Glaze I'm Not Lion
This polish is another absolute favorite. It's such a gorgeous glitter! I did my best to get an accurate swatch of it on camera but it's beauty far surpasses what I ended up with. It's a gold colored glitter polish with holographic glitters, it looks incredible in sunlight and indoors!



inm Out The Door Fast Drying Top Coat
If you read here often, it goes without being said that OTD is my favorite top coat. I don't even consider trying any others because there isn't anything more I could expect from a top coat.
I can apply this shortly after a manicure without smudging/smearing happening, the dry time is almost instant, and it's not a sticky or gooey texture. This top coat gives incredible shine, no shrinkage, and keeps my manicures lasting for days. I don't even remember a time when I've had chips while wearing this. (I change my nails quite often, though.)
