Er, no. I’m pretty sure the name of the prize in today’s giveaway, Benefit’s Sexiest Nudes Ever, was NOT inspired by Magic Mike, the groundbreaking film starring Academy Award shoe-in Channing Tatum… 🙂
But snaps to you, girl, for making the connection, LOL!
I was really surprised by this eyeshadow kit (a Sephora exclusive) and its cool-toned smokey shades.
In all, it comes with six products — four Longwearing Powder Shadows in Milk It (a pearly off-white), Raincheck (a demi-matte mauve), Pause for Applause (a matte purplish pink) and Blingo (a metallic silver); and two Creaseless Creams in Bikini-Tini (a shimmery golden peach) and Holy Smokes (a shimmery bluish gray).
I hope you’ll love these colors as much as I do, and because I think you will, I’m giving one of the kits away today!

My hair right now is wet and the only coffee I seem to enjoy is if I pay at least $4 for it. 🙂

smatik says
I already love birthday suit!
Jaa Maurer says
I like to put flavored coffee creamer in my coffee =D
Tennyoceres says
I remember someone giving me an eyeshadow duo from Clinique for my birthday when I was in high school. I thought at the time the plum in the set was too dark and goth. I really wished I kept it. I use dark a lot for my night looks.
Kirsten H. says
I believe the first purple eye shadow I ever wore was Ecstasy from Urban Decay. I also love Coffee Mate French Vanilla creamer in my coffee. Mmmm.
Or Starbucks Peppermint Mocha.

Icequeen81 says
my hair looks bouncy and curly
Debbie says
Would love to try this palette!

Cyn Uehara says
Loving these giveaways. Thanks.
Zoë says
My first makeup product ever was an under-eye circle cover-up from a health food store in sixth grade. Those have been bothering me for as long as I can remember! Thank god for makeup :)))
jane says
Flash by urban decay or angel by bare minerals
Sherice says
Gahhh I want to win this so bad!! I think Channing Tatum is amazing just because he loves his wife sooo much. Every woman in the world wants him but he talks about her all the time. I find it precious!
Jennifer L says
I threw a couple cups of spinach in with my breakfast smoothie, and I call that a salad. So, this morning was the last time I had a salad.
sweeks1980 says

Cecille says
Just made chiliquiles for brunch
Lorraine says
I was eyeing these kits at Sephora yesterday- from the online swatches, I had thought I could easily pass this one up, but once I swatched it in person, I fell for it and now Sexiest nudes and the Most Glamorous Nudes are tops on my wishlist. The Raincheck shadow reminds me of my Nars Charade Duo(my fave purple ever). and I love the Creaseless creams. I wish Benefit would offer larger sizes of these 2 shadows, I think I’d scoop them up in a new york minute!
Renate says
My first purple eyeshadow? I don’t know the brand anymore but I wore it every day, it was at that time the only color in my collection. It was a beautiful dark deep purple. Have never found an other one 🙁

I hate cleaning the bathroom!

Joy says
My first purple was a Jane cosmetic, I can’t remember the exact name but it had Grape in it. A beautiful deep purple color.

I named my pets after soccer players. Smithy the cat and Landy the poodle. 🙂
Sherry B. says
The first purple eyeshadow that I can ever remember wearing was a shade called “Mystic Mauve” that came in a set of two shadows and a small cake eyeliner palette by Avon many, many years ago. It was a gorgeous medium greyed-purple shade and I wish I could find a shade exactly like it! Thank you for the giveaway, Karen!
Ashley says
My favourite Christmas gifts this year: a Crazy Cat Lady action figure and a I Can Haz Cheezburger Cat calendar!
Kristina says
I redeemed my Starbucks free drink coupon today for a nice holiday treat.

I can’t wait to dye my hair green!

I prefer tea in my coffee cup
Mai says
These palettes have totally caught my eye! They look so lovely and cute 🙂

I have not even come close to perfecting a smoky eye. I need some kind of eye shadow class.

I usually love to eat salad and it’s often my dinner in summer, but right now it’s so cold that i want something warmer in my tummy!
Kristin says
Yay
Mrsshukra says
Fabulous eyeshadow!
Lisa K. says
Karen, I’m sad! Your blog has become all about giveaways! What happened to product reviews?
Vanessa says
I eat salads almost everyday because I’m too lazy to make interesting vegetable dishes 🙁
Andrea says
I think it was some nameless medium purple shadow by Nabi. I am not big on coffee but when I do drink it I use sweetener (Splenda) and some Walmart brand creamer. Shocking. Smokey eyes are kind of my go to look so I wear them quite frequently. Um…. about a month ago or so. At a restaurant I believe. I hate cleaning out the cat litter (though the cats gravitate towards me more than anyone, making me their mother). It really depends on where I’m going. If I am just running errands than I will pop on whatever is comfy like some sweats and a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt if it’s chilly. If I am going out to dinner or a movie then It takes me a good half hour to an hour to find something suitable to wear.
Ellen says
My hair is a mess when I get out of bed – and not a cute, bedhead mess, but a flat and frizzy ball of blah.
M says
I’ve been craving pho for weeks, and finally pho for dinner tonight. All these giveaways are amazing, thank you!

I love cream with my coffee, your blog, purple eyeshadow and THIS KIT 🙂
Edith says
Karen, I like hearing your share your updates on living healthy. I’ve let that part of my life go downhill and now I have 8 lbs of “emotional weight” to get rid of. Plus, I don’t think I’ve eaten any form of greens in AWHILE. 🙁 Oh well!
rosy78 says
Could go for a nap right about now. Too bad I’m still working.
Preetha says
Cream and sugar……definitely.
Jenn says
Always have to have a lil bit of cream and sugar in my coffee 🙂

I have 3 words to describe my hair when I wake up – in a bun. Hahaha I don’t like sleeping with it down.

Melissa says
Have you seen the show Once Upon a Time? I have. Stayed up all night watching it. Thanks Netflix.

Lisa says
I can’t wait to get married in February!!!
Tatyana G says
I am actually planning to make a salad right now, after I read your blog 🙂
Maria J. Cardoza says
The First Purple Eyeshadow I wore was called Amethyst by Maybelline and it came as a Single Eyeshadow and I still love it to this day because it’s so nice and if added with a little bit of water it gives the most beautiful Foil effect.
Stefanie Gladden ( Ann Lyfe ) says
I love cream & splenda in my coffee!! 🙂

KPrice says
I just started wearing purple eyeshadow. While all my friends wore it I always wore green. MAC Satin Taupe was the first eyeshadow that made me think I should wear purple, and now my collection is growing. I’d love to add this palette – thanks for a chance at a giveaway!
Kiara says
My hair looks crazy most of the time, especially when I first wake up!
Mandy F says
I love the purple eyeshadow from Laura Mercier called African Violet…it was one of my fist favorite purple eyeshadows I wore.
Sandy says
I take my coffee with cream only, finally weaned myself off sugar but I still like sugar with my tea. Love purple shadows, these are so pretty.
Jamie C. says
I Normally Like wearing Smokey Eye Looks for a Night Out or for Special Occasions. I think it’s a look that can be pulled off in the day as well, but with less bold colors to get a more subtle and wearable smokey eye.
Steph says
My hair is generally a tangled mess when I wake up in the morning, lol.
Alyza H says
This palette is so cute for spring!
Laura Case says
Im obsesed with the mascara Fairy Drops from Sephora. Its a must try!
Christine says
My first purple eyeshadow was from the Kat Von D True Romance eyeshadow pallette in Sinner. The pallette itself seemed too mature and hardcore for me, especially since I prefer natural and nude eyeshadow topped with some winged out liner as my statement. Now, I’m glad I have it since its has a lot of pretty grays for smokey eye looks and some versatile shimmery lid colors. Each shadow is quite pigmented (much more so than stila) and intense enough to easily use as an opaque eyeliner as well. In addition to the purple, there was also a dark plum as well. But for girly girls (like me), Stila’s in the moment pallette is better! Purples, neutrals, and shimmer!
eRiN says
I just had a big salad for lunch! Not of the Seinfeld variety, just a very large salad, my favorite: lettuce mixed with spinach, one Cara Cara navel orange cut into small bits, half an avocado diced into bits, sunflower seed kernels, feta cheese, and lemon juice vinaigrette. Nom. Very nutrient-rich and also the strong flavors overpower the taste of spinach xD
Cat B says
I’ve never owned purple eyeshadow before but i have used it this halloween from my friend’s stila palette to do bruising for my zombie makeup. I’m pretty much a noob at makeup XD
sophiemum says
I have never worn purple eyeshadow!
Bridget says
ooooooh! so pretty!!!
Connie Lechado says
I Have never used a cream eyeshadow before and the only thing I know is that cream eyeshadows can be worn alone or as a base to make the other eyeshdow colors that get place over it to pop.
Colleen says
Great giveaway! Thank you! & it was ceasar salad for dinner tonight.
BooBooNinja says
We’re still painting the bathroom. How could the previous tenants ever think split pea green would look good with the greeny-turquoise bathtub and sink?
shusheshe says
All the colours look beautiful!

These kits are all so gorgeous, but wearable!

My usual instant coffee I drink black, but any other coffee I add a ton of hazelnut cream and a few teaspoons of sugar.
melissa says
I like coffeemate cinnamon vanilla or French vanilla in my coffee 😉 I don’t remember the name of my first purple eyeshadow but purple and grey were the only colors I wore back in high school.

My first purple eyeshadow (and first eyeshadow EVER) was MAC’s Satellite Dreams! My friend bought it for me for my birthday when I was in middle school. I think that first trip to MAC kick-started my fascination with makeup!
Tricia says
I ate a salad today for lunch! Thanks for the giveaway!
Melissa says
I had a caramel pecan coffee this morning that was so yummy!
Haley says
Leftover mashed potatoes 🙂
Alison says
I love cream and sugar in my coffee (especially cream).
Trish says
I still haven’t figured out how to wear purple eyeshadow! They say purple goes great with brown eyes but I must just not be choosing the right purple. Haha anyways maybe this kit will help me!
Audrey C. says
I can’t remember my first purple eyeshadow because purple is my weakness! I’m immediately drawn to every and any purple. Sometimes I have to tell myself I don’t need ANOTHER one…
Donna says
I think the first purple eyeshadow I actually remember having was Fairy Nights by Nars.. at least I think that was the name! 🙂 I actually remember thinking Nars was a crappy brand because the eyeshadow was so hard and powdery.
Katie Spangler says
Merry Christmas to Karen, Tabs, and Hubby! So far this Christmas has been full of family and fun, I hope it has been the same for you and yours 🙂 Happy New Year, and thanks for all the blog-love over the years!
Mel Layesen says
I usually put in more cream than sugar in my coffee. However, on the days when I want more caffeine in my system, I take my coffee black. Plus it looks cooler that way.
Katherine G says
Wow, I haven’t commented in ages. I have been working a lot and feeling under the weather. This Benefit kit looks amazing. Everyone needs good neutrals that are fun, too. When I wake up in the morning, I usually look pale, and because I have some shorter layers I have to do something with my hair to make it look presentable (otherwise it can get very “There’s Something About Mary”). I hope you have a great weekend and you are awesome for not only posting every day but doing these giveaways.
Ash Johnson says
I love my coffee dark and black with nothing added.
Calli says
smokey eye is my go-to look!

Mina says
LURV! Hope I win! 😀
Gussie Halloran says
I think the first ever purple eyeshadow I wore was for Show Choir. I hit pan on that so easily because no matter how much we wore, the director demanded we put more on!
Romona says
I would love to try those colors out! Very nice! And I love eyeshadow!
Moon Kruska says
Glad that I am back to warmer weather! I am sure people are jealous about my white Christmas but it was brutal!

My question for the moment – to have a cup of coffee or not…?
Kate & Zena says
I got my TPT shots and this would be great to cheer me up!
Ale says
Love holiday coffes, yum
Rosalyn francisco says
I love neutrals!
Kylie says
Thankfully because I have so much hair (thickness), my hair falls down straight due to its weight. I was born with slightly wavy hair but it’s very unnoticeable unless I point it out or when I wash my hair. So when I wake up in the morning, unless I was sleeping on it in a weird angle, it more or less just comes out straight looking. 🙂
Brandy d says
OMG I WOULD SO SO LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!
Renee says
Love this palette!
Sandra Maria Barbosa says
What wonder, I’m from Brazil and now I can enter a sweepstakes for your blog, which I love!

I am having a love affair with my new Keurig coffeemaker – especially with soy milk and Splenda!
Lisa says
I can’t decide on my NYE mani: gunmetal or evergreen?
Jae says
There was a girl in my class in high school who wore a purple shadow, more lavender than purple really, that flashed a subtle gold in the sunlight. It looked like it was made for her. And her eyelashes were about a mile long. Naturally, I hated her.
Not really. 🙂
But I’d never seen a more perfect, more made for someone makeup ensemble.
Krystle(Baking Beauty) says
I hate doing the dishes most, we don’t have a dishwasher! 🙁

I love purple clothes but I’ve always been scared of purple eyeshadows, but I’ve recently had a breakthrough – ‘cut the cake’ from Too Faced’s Romantic Eye palette. And now I want to experiment more!
Yaritza says

I love my coffee with cream and sugar but I can drink it black if necessary.

Every time I try to do a smokey eye it just looks like I bruised myself. I’m working on it.

The colors in this eyesahdow are soooo me!
Adriana says
Not technically one word about my hair in the morning, but:
LION’S MANE.
I have fine, thin hair, but it thinks it’s thick and curly. It can be great at times, but in the mornings it’s a nightmare!!! It’s big at the top and it forms into a square shape, and frizzy at the bottom. It can be so hard to control if I don’t follow my hair routine down to the T.
Archana says
I am dreaming 🙂
Solangel says
Dying to try those cream shadows!

I was so excited to eat soup earlier that I burned my tongue. Twice. 🙁

Kat says
Once upon a time, I went to Starbucks with my friends and decided to try out their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Well, I took a large piping hot sip— and had to force myself to choke it down. I hated it! It was like… I can’t even compare it to any other revolting substances, it was that bad! But in the end, using the magical combined powers of Splenda and 2% milk, I got my money’s worth and was able to finish it, and even enjoy it. Very slightly. But still.
TVo says

Some mornings I wake up and my hair is perfectly tousled with the right amount of volume and texture… And then at some point it realizes “Oh wait, what are we doing? We’re supposed to be flat and lifeless because for Caitlin to have good hair for more than 15 minutes would just be wrong.”
