Two Ways to Win a Benefit Sexiest Nudes Ever Eyeshadow Kit (a $30 Value)!

December 28th, 2012 by Karen 355 Comments

WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is AmyE! Congratulations, AmyE! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    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. 🙂

    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.

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.

    AH!! I just bought one of their other kits, and I love it! I really want this one – especially bikini-tini. It looks beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity 😀

    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.”

    My first purple eyeshadow was a sample from Clinique. It’s a beautiful dark plum color and I think they discontinued it :0/

    I don’t think I’ve ever worn purple eyeshadow now that I think about it!

    No, I don’t remember the name of my first purple eyeshadow, but I know it was from a purple eyeshadow quad by Revlon, circa 2001.

    The first purple eyeshadow I ever wore was one of those shimmery Bare Minerals one in a tube, I think it might be called Twilight or something like that?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
