Two Ways to Win $110 in Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Shadows

by 533 Comments

  • The giveaway is now closed. Congrats, Sunday! Before you go, check the home page for ongoing giveaways.

Remember that Sex and the City episode when Carrie takes a dive on the runway at the fashion show? She had on jeweled underwear and a pair of sky high stilettos. Well, I had a nightmare where I did the same thing, except that I was wearing a beaded tie-dye bikini and really ugly clogs (?). Midair, as I fell ungracefully toward the folks sitting in the front row, I distinctly remember thinking, “Aww, hell… at least my eye makeup looks cute.”

I’ll just leave the swimsuit modeling to the professionals, like the ones strutting the runways at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week: Swim in Miami right now.

Have you been following any of the shows? The festivities, which focus on beach garb and swimwear, kicked off on Thursday and run through this weekend.

For the second year in a row, Make Up For Ever is sponsoring the makeup for the shows and making sure the models look fly on the catwalk. There’s been no shortage of Aqua Cream shadows this year, which, by the way, I love (here’s my review).

Aqua Creams made an appearance at last night’s Delores Cortes show, where the makeup artists banged out this smoldering greenish gold eye…

If you feel like giving it a try with your very own Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Shadows (bikini and high heels are totally optional, LOL!), keep reading, boo!

  5. Anything at all?

    Hmmm, My dogs just got shaved today. they look like little princesses! I feel like i should go out and buy them a studded collar. They were fuzzy beasts before and now they are so elegant and ‘upper class.’ I feel they’re too fancy for me haha. They even have a blunt cut on the ears. How chic? They’re so much cooler now its been like 100 degrees here. Sorry im ranting :/ They’re a mix between a lhaso apso and a bichon frise.. so la-chons 🙂

    Thanks for the opprotunity :))

  22. Wow, I LOVE that green eye look!
    My fave swimsuit is the one I had when I was six- blue with pink palm trees on it, and I felt so pretty and confident in it!

  24. I have a fascination with all things “Aqua.” Former Aquafitness instructor; bathing suit hoarder. Make Up Forever addict.

    Favourite swimsuit? Let’s see, I have over a dozen… My blue Land’s End bikini that looks boring on the rack but hugs and perks in all the right places and looks (vintage pin-up) hot. Or my mix and match white top and pirate tattoo bottoms (YAR!) Or that khaki halter-top bikini that flatters my olive complexion and makes me look like a lean, mean sunbathing machine.

    I can’t pick a fave. It’s like Make Up For Ever’s Aqua creams: I love them all.

  28. My favorite swimsuit I bought this year has a balconette style underwire top which I absolutely LOVE and my husband does too. But! I was asked by a guy at the beach if I was wearing a bra… I know he’s just a guy but now when I wear it I always wonder if other guys think that too…. stupid boys!

    My favorite bikini is a blue with white polka-dot guess. Somehow it makes me look better than I look fully clothed. Which is not the case for most bikinis…

  83. Oh, this is like my dream palette! All silvery & smoky grays with a bit of color for the lips & cheeks. <3 However, if it is a good dream (and with those colors, I think it must be) then I would *not* be wearing a bathing suit–especially not a bikini! As much as I love swimming, I much prefer to appear in public fully clothed.

  84. my favorite swimsuit is white with gold lines. looks perfect with white cadet hat from sexy costume :p
    Love makeup forever – the main reason – i can buy it in my country
    Aqua cream is amazing. i got the blue one . beautifull!

  87. My favourite swimsuit is a Seafolly Australia one! It’s quite plain, just black with a cool wrap band-y thingy at the top of the swimsuit bottom. I usually pair it with my Roxy mod polka dot halter top, it’s black with white, teal, and lime green graphic circles.

  89. I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a few of these! I’ve never tried anything from MUFE because I’m not really a fan of the prices, but the Aqua Creams look BEAUTIFUL!

  91. I love the cream eye shadows because they give different reflections of the powder shadows. In addition also often use alone if I go in a hurry. A quick look!

    Thanks:)

  92. i LOVE cream shadows. you can use them alone for a sheer, subtle look, or as a base for powder eyeshadows when you want your look to be more intense…the colors in the giveaway are great…but enough about makeup, something random…well tonight i went to a wedding of a friend of mine, and managed to get socked in the eye…let’s cross our fingers for no black eye tomorrow! 🙂

I can’t live without them anymore, use them even for school and such, I LOVE being dramatic by batting my lashes up and down, hahaha.

    However, ROXY makies the coolest swimwear, sure because it’s a surf brand and I so envy you for surfing. Here in Germany it’s like… impossible, but I swear I’ll learn it one day!

  136. I have about 5 swimsuits, but 4 of them are bikinis and even though they are really cute, I can’t wear them when I go to family gatherings. Even though I’m in my mid-20s, my mom thinks bikinis aren’t appropriate! So I keep a tankini as well, and it’s pretty cute – blue and yellow with a sunset motif. It’s not as cute as my pink and white bikini, though…

I’ve been particularly interested in these since reading your review, I love the idea of waterproof, long-lasting creams, and I went to Sephora to play with all the pretty colors recently. But sadly, went home empty handed because I just have too many expenses coming my way. I’d be freaking psyched if I won!

  196. my favorite bathing suit was a white bikini picked up in Rio in 1984 (when i had the bod to wear it). It had no ties or clasps, just pulled on. so cute, comfortable, and not too teeny surprisingly. The downside? Oh yeah it got wet and became totally see thru!!!!!! I remember my friend gave me her track shorts to wear. that was a look to forget. But that bikini sure looked good on dry land!!!

As always, after the appetizer I am soo full! But, once the waitress placed before me the baked stuffed shells, my mouth watered. I took my first bite-a delish shell stuffed with 5 cheeses, spinach, Italiano spices-ahhh. Then I took another bite, and another, and another!! Before I knew it, I devoured 3 shells, but was only half way done. I gulped down the icy cold water, and wiped my mouth clean. And of course I took the leftovers home, and will be finishing them today for lunch! (:

The PERFECT product for a gorgeous smoky eye that will not flake or fade even during the steamiest days and nights! These colors would rock out the new Carmen Marc Valvo bikini that I just bought! I have not worn a bikini in 4 years and just lost 20 pounds to do it. Now my goal is to go to Cyprus next month with my friends and no matter what some Makeup Forever is coming with me whether I go there or to the neighborhood pool! We only come around once so we might as well look good while we are here 🙂 :). Have a beautiful day all!!!

  241. Red your post on sunburns. Made me think about last year when I was at a vacation on the island of Mljet in Croatia. I swam all day and foregot to put sunscreen. So when my fair skin met Mr. Sun, well al I can say is that the rest of the vacation I spent in the hotel room not being able to sleep on my back for a solid week and getting wattery bubbles on my back. Lets just say I put sunscreen on every time.

  243. I love cream shadows – they’re really quick to apply and you can just put them on, smudge them a bit and you’re ready. No need for perfect application! And most of them are waterproof, which is definitely a good thing during summer.

    I am learning how to do parallel parking right now. Just had some practice runs, and it WASN’T pretty at all! My car was either hitting the curb or too far from the curb. I hate driving – yet I am so depended on it! On a positive note, I got a really cute bikini and curling iron the other day. At least, I will look pretty when I fail my G driver’s test (No, I will not wear bikini to the test, or should I? Brownie Points?).

  259. My favorite bathing suit is a new teal colored two piece I bought last year. I have always had a problem finding one where the top and bottom both fit. Last year I lost some weight and then went shopping and found this fabulous 2 piece bathing suit and the bottoms actually fit properly and cover nicely, not too skimpy! Love it so much and wear it mostly in the yard during the summer. Will not wear it to the pool-the chlorine will damage it!

I have so many bikinis that when I go to the beach I always bring more than one. Even for halloween I wore a swimsuit. I wore an adorable one piece, sky high heels, did my make-up all kinds of hard, put on a tiara and sash that said Argentina, carried a bouquet of fake flowers around and said I was Miss Argentina!

  300. Two days ago, I had a horrible allergic reaction to something I’m not sure what, but I looked like a blow fish on steroids. Being swollen, red and itchy I knew it wasn’t the most logical idea to wear makeup. Not even mascara which I rarely leave home without. I put on my favorite summer dress, some fun jewelry, and went out to the mall. I must say, I sure did work my whoopee cushion face! I walked through stores like they were my own personal runway. I knew I didn’t look as I beautiful as I normally did, but I still felt like it. Because it is all about confidence. That is what makes you beautiful.(Of course DiorShow Mascara and Woodwinked eyeshadow help 🙂 ) but at the end of the day its having self confidence and loving yourself for who you are which sets you apart from the rest. Ladies…we are all beautiful so never stop believing. We are not going to always look our best everyday but we can feel our best about ourselves!

  321. I love cream shadows! I’m just beginning to explore makeup, especially eye shadows. I just started using cream shadows a few weeks ago and I love them. So far, I’ve been using Revlon and E.L.F cream shadows because I can’t really afford the high brand ones. I’ve been looking at MakeUp ForEver cream shadows for a while now, because the colors are just gorgeous, but they are just way too expensive for me. To win this contest would be the highlight of my life. Lol, that’s how much I’ve been loving makeup. 😀 I feel that for me, cream shadows are easier to use, since I have mono-lids. They are more easier to blend.

  414. Great giveaway! My make routine in the summer differs quite a bit from my routine for other seasons. For one thing, I wear much less makeup, and I also wear different types of products. During other times of the year, I wear mineral-powder foundation; in summer, I rarely wear it doing the day. I’m also less partial to eyeliner and mascara doing summer. Simplify, simplify.

    I’m more likely, ‘though, to wear tinted moisturizer during the summer, and summer’s when I bring out the bronzing powder. After moisturizing, I apply bronzer lightly around the permiter of my face, as well as a bit on the places where the sun is most likely to hit — forehead, nose, chin. Then I layer a bit of blusher on the apple of my cheeks where I’ve already applied bronzer. A bit of eye shadow, a touch of lipstick, and I’m out the door.

  491. My friends and I wanted to do Olive Garden tonight before we watched Inception and let me tell you, I was disappointed. But, earlier this week I had been craving a particular chicken alfredo and I suppose it’s my mistake for thinking the one at Carrabba’s is the same at Olive Garden. On a side note, Inception was amazing.

  498. Hi Karen!

    Im currently fighting a bit of flab so swimsuits aren’t really my thing right now.. I’m probably gonna have to look for cover-ups or a 1 piece =((((!

  503. I have disappearing and super oily Asian eyelids, so you only see a smidgen of color if ever I had eyeshadow/ liner on. If I do win this, I’m hoping to get to try on these bad boys and see how they old up!!

    How oliy are my eyelids? Bobbi Brown gel liner, Benefit cream shadows, Mac paint pots, MUFE and UD eyeliners won’t even stay for more than 5 hours with primer. By the way, thanks for the giveaway Karen!

  505. I bought the Nars powder foundation in Mont Blanc from Nordstrom last night. Very smooth and porcelain look. And you know what would look great with it? Some MUFE Aqua Creams. Fingers crossed!

  506. I just wanted to put my love here for Japanese cream shadows, not sure if you’ve tried many, but what I find they do (especially my favorite Beaute de Kose) is give you a brilliant wash of microglitter that:

    1. Does not crease (curse you Bobbi Brown metallic cream shadows!)
    2. Is suuuuper sparkly! (megawatt shine, without screaming I’m 13!)
    3. Does not have major fallout (unlike the UD Stardust shadows)

    I’d love to give these guys at MUFE a try!

  507. I love cream eyeshadows as a base for powder eyeshadows. I find them less drying but just as effective as traditional primer. I also like the waterproof varieties for those rare occasions when I go kayaking!

  509. I think these are great for summer. My favorite bathing suit was any one that I wore ten years ago when I looked great.

  511. I love cream shadows! Perfect for summer… a beautiful but simple wash of color on the lid. Some mascara & a bright lip and you’re good to go.

    Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!

  518. Not sure what the time is over there… Sorry if it’s already closed!
    MUFE isn’t available here, so I’d love to win – these shades look amazing and I’ve heard only positive reviews so far!

  519. Great giveaway Karen! Aqua cream shadows are great for summer. I do not like wearing powder shadows for summer, it feels too much sometimes. A quick wipe of cream shadows with smudged eyeliner and mascara has been my office makeup for summer.

  527. Cool give-a-way! My favorite swimsuit was when I was in 3rd grade. It was by Body Glove(remember that company? yay 80’s) and it was black with fluorescent splatter paint all over it…consequently that was probably that last time I looked good in a bathing suit too! JK. LOL! Thanks Karen!
