EOTM: "Your Favourite July EOTD" Giveaway!...

August is already here, and it's time again for the EOTM giveaway. I have an extra special prize this month, just arrived from the UK - the MUA LUXE Pretty Edgy Eyeshadow Palette! I put my clever hat on for a change, and bought two of these - one for me, and one for you ♥ (In fact I may be partly responsible for it now being Out of Stock!) It's even more gorgeous than I thought it would be - soft and romantic rosy hues with a couple of "gothic grunge" pans just to make the mix an interesting one. Plus I'm throwing in a toning MUA Matte Lipstick, in the shade Lilac Belle...


The case is stunning - glossy black with gold studs. There's a full sized mirror inside, a double-ended sponge applicator is included, and the lid closes shut with a very firm click ...


And here's what's on the back...


The shades are Antique, Bow, Toile, Ruffle, Flounce, Lace, Sinful, Gothic, Wrath & Envy. The top row are all pearly shimmers except for the last one (Lace) which is not quite so light reflective, and the bottom ones are all mattes. It doesn't come in a box, but there's a cellophane seal around the shadows... 


Here are some finger swatches (two swipes). The shadows are deliciously creamy, and the pigmentation is brilliant, especially the mattes - in fact, it's sensational! How about that charcoal?


And here's the lipstick - a soft sheer orchid, just perfect for the fast approaching Spring. This is my one (see how smart I'm getting?) - the prize lippy is sealed...


And here's what it looks like on my lips - I've not been impressed with MUA lip products in the past (their shadows however are awesome) but this particular formula is excellent. It isn't completely matte, but it lasts well, and doesn't dry out my pucker...


As always, you need to choose which of the July EOTD's is your favourite from the eight pictured below, and let me know in the comments section why you like it the most...


The Rafflecopter will decide the winner, so please make sure that you follow the entry instructions, and read the Terms and Conditions inside (Australian residents only). Please note that leaving a comment, providing your email address inside the Rafflecopter, AND following my blog one way or another from the many choices listed are MANDATORY for entry...

    1. It's really lovely hon - I'll just HAVE to do an eye look with it tomorrow (especially now that I've messed it all up with the swatches lol). And the pleasure was all mine today - such a treat to see your beautiful smiling face ♥ I'm so glad you called my name - when I'm grocery shopping I go into the "am I in the right aisle?" zone, and become oblivious to everyone around me ha ha...

    1. #3 is my fave too Fawn - in fact it might be my all time personal favourite. So glad you like the palette hon - I had a play with mine this morning and didn't use a base, but it still turned out great, the shadows are so creamy :-)

  4. I think I'm going to go for 8 because I love purples. The white on the waterline is also a really nice touch since it makes the purple stand out even more.

  7. Such gorgeous products. I mean seriously how cute is that palette! And that lippy shade looks wonderful on you Kats. I won't enter Kats as I've already been super lucky with winnings here on Kats Colourings but I just wanted to say I love number 5. Those pretty blues and that little flick are just too perfect. I love it!
    Best of luck to all the lovely ladies entering!

    1. Sweetheart it's so kind of you to hold back on entering to give someone else a better chance - you're such a darling, and thanks for picking #5. It's a little more dramatic than I normally wear and I'm thrilled it's your fave hon ♥

  8. Gee, whiz, such a tough choice! I'm going to surprise us both and pick #3, because it makes your eyes look SO green, and also because it's inspired me to take mine out and use it more often!

    2. As much as I love green and purple, this time I am choosing number 2 because it reminds me of winter but a beautiful winters day of Brisbane on your eyes. The colours are amazing and bewitching at the same time. It's a look that you could wear any day and any time.
      email is Mandie256@aol.com and of course I follow you through Google.

    3. Hey Girlfriend- love your choice and the reason behind it. I'm so happy to see you've joined in the fun hon ♡

  10. Not sure if my previous comment posted, so apologies if this is a repeat.
    I like Look 2. The reddish undertone in the brown makes your green eyes pop and it works well with your hair too.

    1. Hi there Faiza - agreed, #7 would look fabulous on you, but hey, I can't imagine ANY colours NOT looking fabulous on you hon ♥

  13. I'm tossing between #1 and #5 as it's both "eye catching" but decided on #5 as it's brighter! The bolder the better, they say! I just love it!:)

    I LOVE 1,4 & 8; but 2 & 3 are tied for my fave - or should I take the leap & say 3 by a bee's dick?
