What you could buy with your winnings...
I have been using liquid eyeliner for most of my makeup wearing days.
Tokidoki ($16) is by far my favorite eyeliner.  It is a liquid eyeliner with a firm applicator. 
I have tried Sephora's ($12) version of this product several times, always wanting to save a buck or two, but every time it has dried up within a week.  Spend the few extra bucks and save yourself a return!

Benefit has a very popular under eye concealer called Erase Paste ($26), it is creamy and provides good coverage for those who have dark circles to hide.  But, try Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer by Cover FX ($26) in my opinion it trumps Benefit's product.  This product is easier to blend, lightweight and transparent.  The coverage is more even and I'm never afraid to apply too much.   
I have an acne problem and so I am always looking for quick solutions to solve my breakouts.  Unfortunately there is no such thing as a quick fix when it coms to acne or damage free looking skin.  For me, my diet is the main deciding factor of whether or not I'm going to wake up looking like ANNE or NICOLE KIDMAN.  Not saying that either are a good example of my facial features, but I do have red, fiery hair and ANNE'S freckles could be mistaken for chicken pox.  So if I could provide a bit of advise... do not purchase products like Clinique's Acne Solution Clearing Moisturinzer ($19), these will dry out your skin providing a bit of temporary acne prevention but will hurt you in the long run.  Ultra Repair Cream ($12-$39) is a FANTASTIC moisturizer that repairs those zits you've been popping and doesn't leave your face feeling greasy.

A few more products that get me a little giddy when walking past those BLACK and WHITE STRIPES.

UPDATE: GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!

  1. Thanks for the advice. It is always great getting an unbiased opinion when advice can seem to be tied to some ulterior motive!

    I would use my giveaway to finally get some Nars 'The Multiple,' but I might be tempted to try the repair cream. Or maybe some ChaChaTint. Oh, the possibilities...

    1. Moisturize, moisturize! Under eye makeup has this common problem because there are so many little crevices under our eyes for the makeup to creep into. Pick up a drug store primer if you can and it will help and of coarse moisturize to prevent creasing. Cover Fx will crease if I'm doing a quick job and don't work it in enough.
      Thanks for entering.
