Flowers are blooming, leaves are bursting from the trees, and everywhere I look I see spring (figuratively speaking). Yeah, I may be popping allergy meds like they’re straight up candy (Zyrtec! Woot!), but I’m thrilled to see the world outside coming back to life.

Since things are beginning to warm up again, that means it’s time to squirrel away my winter clothes and shoes and finally, FINALLY set out my things for spring. And that includes makeup. 🙂

Have you been thinking about updating your spring makeup wardrobe? Would you like to breathe new life into your cosmetics collection? If that’s a “yea!,” you might love today’s giveaway. It features three exclusive kits found on BeautyTicket.com with, all in all, a whopping 17 pieces for eyes, lips, cheeks and face from Pop Beauty, Pixi and Senna Cosmetics.

  3. I’ve seen the pixi line at target, and the little testers I was able to try were actually pretty nice! Also, I’m really hungry and using my rice cooker for the first time in two years. I just can’t get used to it! I grew up making rice the old fashioned way on the stove, lol

  7. My 3 year old daughter just got a new dress with stripes and flowers. She asked me to smell it and when I did and said what does it smell like?, she told me “clouds”

  8. Woohoo! All of those pieces look beautiful! I have never actually owned or worn any of the product by Pop, Pixi or Senna, but I would definitely like to try out some color for the spring. I have been keeping everything extremely neutral as of late.

    Reply

  13. I haven’t tried any of these cosmetic companies, but they sound intriguing. Oddly enough, I also never buy makeup online – I feel like it’s so hard to get a feel for the color/texture unless I’ve swatched it in store beforehand.

    Reply

  17. I’ve never tried out any of these brands’ products – they look pretty faaantastic, though! And I’m wearing some killer shoes made by Terra Plana. 4-inch heels, yo!

  22. I live in a town in Alaska with no Sephora or department stores, so I buy make up online almost exclusively.

    And often. 🙂

    I would love to try the Pop products!

  23. The last person I smiled at was the guy next to me in the quiet study floor who “ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh’d” two girls whispering. He made more noise “ssshingg” them, than they were making whispering.

  24. I love Senna’s brow kits–they’re endlessly useful. Have never tried Pixi, but have always liked the look of the products whenever I’m in the Target beauty section. 🙂 Love the Pop eye palette above, though.

    Thanks for another giveaway opportunity, Karen, and happy Wednesday, everyone!

  27. I LOVE pixi makeup! I bought their shimmer eye makeup palette and use it literally every day. There are hundreds of fun combos and the shades are not only super flattering, they last really long. I’d love to win the collection!!

  31. Hey!, I never try any of these brand before! But I almost bought one day at my local urban outfiter that pixi palette with fairies on it. I think it was blush..

    Reply

  33. I’ve never tried pixi but i have seen it in target and a couple times on hautelook. the times i did see them, a lot of their stuff i was interested in was sold out. i would like to gradually try all diff types of cosmetic companies out there! happy hump day! we’re half way done with the week!

  35. I’ve never tried any of those lines but definitely would like to! I just got my online order from Sephora. I ordered UD Show Pony Shadow Box that was on sale for $16. Since they didn’t have it in my closest Sephora store, the associate gave me a code for free shipping! Not a bad deal.

  37. I’ve always wondered about that pixie line. I keep looking at in when I’m in Target. Maybe someday I’ll try it out!

  39. iv just finished work still got my suit on,, great weather today so just hand the shirt and skirt today with the leboutin high heels,, my make up is mostly bought by my boyfriend i love the fact that he tells me what make-up looks the best and where i should go for the best deals,, the only person smiling at me right now is my boyfriend ,, bless

  47. I think I’ll answer the “what shoes are you wearing” question because my flats have these little pom pom looking things on the front with tiny metal details that jingle as I walk which probably is annoying everyone in my office but it’s making me skip a little lol.

    Reply

  50. Karen? Are you posting this from the airport??? LOL

    The last person I smiled at was my kitty, Chloe. She was all curled up, but she’s kinda chunka-butt so she looked more like a hairy Thanksgiving Turkey.

    I’m LOVING that pop beauty set!! Thanks for the giveaway!

    I’ll RT!

  51. Although my eldest is only 12, I already find myself having to share makeup with her… not because I’m letting her wear it already(!) but because she’s a ballerina, and she needs it for performances throughout the year. The big one is The Nutcracker in December. So some extra makeup would be lovely. I wouldn’t mind experimenting with it either, if I’m being honest. 😉

    Reply

  55. I’ve never heard of these brands but would love an update to my existing makeup collection which is small but growing. Love your blog and Tabs too!!

  59. I’ve only bought makeup online from Sephora and HauteLook. It’s not bad, but I definitely prefer buying makeup in a store.

  62. I’ve bought a bunch of makeup from eyeslipsface.com!
    And jeeze, I really want that yellow eyeshadow, it’s so bright! I have yet to own a yellow shadow. :C

  70. i’ve always wanted to try pixi makeup, but it’s rather pricey..i came close to buying some at urban outfitters when it was on sale, but most of the packages were opened and/or used..

  73. I’m dying to figure out why you went to Toronto, but in other makeup news, I think the changing shades as you change seasons is overrated and you should actually stagger the changing of a darker shade towards the end of summer into fall and then switch to a paler shade only in January, when your summer tan has faded.

  78. im in love with the above pop products!!!! reminds me of easter and its colours…… and the song from music and lyrics hugh grant’s band sings in the movie !

  91. SPRING! You would never know it here… it’s raining and 42 degrees. WOOF. However, when I was looking out my kitchen window this morning, I noticed the crab apple tree in my backyard had little buds! There is hope yet!

  95. I’ve only tried peach corrector from Pixi and I really like it. It cancels out my dark circles really nicely. And yesterday I finally succumbed to the Pixi sale and bought the Flawless Beauty Primer. I can’t wait to get it.

  117. I’ve never even heard of these brands, but they look rad! I’m having a totally awesome day off…. went to the gym (bodypump class, yeah!), hit the tanning bed (bad, I know, but I live in Seattle and our sunshine hasn’t kicked in yet!) and now to clean the house and hit the bars with my sister. Oh yeah!

  119. I buy make-up online all the time! Unless I wanna travel 30 minutes to Columbia mo to the Sephora in the Penneys there or two hours to Kansas City or St Louis for MAC or Lush or Ulta or a full size Sephora.

  126. I’m loving the yellow eyeshadow “trend” this spring and would love to give it a try. so the pop palette really appeals to me. you don’t want to know what shoes I’m wearing now, it’s embarrassing. I’ve recently moved and don’t have a job yet, so I haven’t really been in presentable, going out in public clothes in a while….

  128. Pixi got my attention yesterday with the week of makeup thing – I mean, I wouldn’t have to give my makeup any thought in the morning, just pick what day of the week it is and go!

  130. Omg another giveaway! How fun! Thank you so much Karen, you’re so generous! I would love it if I could win! Sadly, I don’t have Twitter so I have to settle for one entry.

    I have always been skeptical about buying makeup online… Do you have any good reliable website to recommend?

    Have a nice day!

  191. I’ve never tried any of those three brands, so this is a super exciting giveaway!

    I just blew a bundle at the BB F&F event today, LOVE getting 20% off and free shipping AND a free gel eyeliner (GEL44 was the promo code for it if anyone’s still shopping, lol).

    I like shopping online because it gives you the shopping rush twice instead of just once: when you pick it out and then again later when the box arrives. Fun! More bang for your buck, right?

  219. This giveaway looks amazing!!! :)) Totally wants it!

    And, just for kicks, here is the story of my life, fellow peeps!

    I buy WAAAY too much make up online…and at the most inopportune times. Two nights ago I was pulling an all-nighter for an exam and was soooo stressed out I ended up ordering two Shu Uemura Lipsticks out of nowhere. The next day I was checking my email and saw the email confirming my order…then I looked at my wallet and made a sad face….If this impulse-buying-when-oober-stressed-out becomes a habit, I am in BIGGGGG TROUBLE! Eeeek!

  239. I have never bought a thing from any of these brands in particular, but am an avid try-er of new things and shop constantly online. Mainly MAC and Benefit, occasionally an Urban Decay item,

  292. I don’t prefer to order makeup online because I’m too impatient to wait for it 🙂 and often the colors do not look the same on screen as they do in person.

  296. Hi! I would love to win this makeup kit, because yesterday I was out, doing some makeup shopping and I was only buying Maybelline, Covergirl, things of that sort, but I came across this makeup kit and instantly fell in love. The only problem was, I didn’t have enough money! 😐

    Ps. I am currently not wearing shoes!

  297. I went to a NARS event at Nordstrom bcz my friend was a MUA there and I didn’t get her…My MUA was horrible, I said dramatic and he did a daytime look that was more like woke up with last night’s make up remnants still there. I was sad because I really wanted to try their colors. Even my friend was surprised. Hopefully I’ll get to go back when she’s there and get my drama on!

  299. I’ve been wanting to try some Pixi stuff for awhile now but have never taken the plunge. This would be a great opportunity. I also LOVE the color of that nail polish from Pop.

  305. I live in a small town in NC, so trips to the makeup counters are few and far in between and the nearest Target in 30 minutes away which sucks big time…so 99% of the time, I order my makeup online from Sephora, MAC, and Illamasqua.

  309. I have never tried these brands, but would like to. The last person that I smiled at was my honey, and then he fell asleep! Relaxing day! Yay!

  313. Never tried any of these brands, I’m wearing tennis shoes cause I just came back from running, and I totally forget what I smiled at last (or who).
    I’m not much for super saturated blue, yellow and green haha, but the pixi stuff looks nice!

    Reply

  327. ive never heard of these brands. i havent yet and probably will never buy makeup online. maybe if it was free shipping. or a brand i trust (quality and performance) and a color i wouldnt mind being a little more or less what i thought it would look like. i guess if i had money to burn, but theres sooo much makeup i wanna try in reality i hardly even think about online shopping.

    Reply

  328. I hope I win. I never win any of these things! And that fact that i’ve never tried any of these makeup lines would be great. I love trying new cosmetic lines.
