SMASHBOX

 A few months back, you (blog readers, Twitter followers, Facebook friends, my family) showed some MAJOR love by supporting me in the Smashbox competition on Facebook. There are no words for how awesome it was to see you guys vote and get into the competition. Thankfully, it only lasted a week because I was obsessed with winning and I couldn't have done it without you!

We were all over Facebook, Twitter, the blog and I even made this YouTube video to get people to vote! This was serious business!


After the voting closed, I wasn't really able to make much of an announcement about winning.  You see, I knew that I had won but I wasn't really sure what they would send. I did know that they would ship it when the contest officially closed at the end May/first of June. That felt like forever!

Also, the contest said the winner would get a 1 year supply of makeup.  So how much is a one year supply? Well, I'm sure they don't want to give me the amount of makeup that I go thru in a year, because that is ALOT! I was kind of disappointed when they asked me to submit my shade of BB cream and 4 other products that I was going to choose. 5 products? Is that supposed to be a 1 year supply? They said they would send the 1 year supply all at the same time, so I had to wait and see.

This week, the question was answered....finally. The box finally arrived with all except one of the products. My shade of Halo powder is on backorder so I picked another product, that I can't wait to try.  And I'm so excited! Yes, I just can't hide it.

I am so thankful for your support that I want to give you a treat! There will be more, this is the first!

I made a video to show the palette in more detail. I will do several tutorials on how I like to use the palette for the winner to use. Would you like that?

There are several ways to enter so get started. Good luck!
