GIVEAWAY | Celebrating MWAH's 6-Month Anniversary (CLOSED)

So this post is late (seriously, I need to get back on track with these posts!) but I'm glad to be having my first ever giveaway! I meant to post this on Wednesday, which was exactly my blog's 6 month anniversary but I was just waaay too busy.

The items in this giveaway was inspired by the recent Spring trends seen on the runway. I have a post up on some of my favorite Spring trends here on my blog if y'all want to check it out!

I picked up some items to help the winner create their own spring looks. The products you can win are:

Eyes

• Sephora Natural Instincts Palette--> I picked this palette because it contains neutral shades for those natural eyes looks but it also contains some blue shadows as well if you're into trying out the blue eyeshadow trend!

• Benefit Stay Don't Stray Primer in Light/Medium-->To go along with the eyeshadow palette, an eyeshadow primer was a must. I like this one because it evens out discoloration and veins on your eyelids. You can also use it as a primer for your concealer if you you have troubles with creasing.

• Benefit They're Real! Mascara--> This has got to be my favorite mascara! It lengthens and volumizes my wimpy lashes. I didn't think I could have both in a mascara but I'm so glad this one works! It can have the tendency to clump but if you wiggle the brush from side to side instead of up and down, it prevents any clumpings.

Face

• Benefit Porefessional Pro Balm-->This works wonders to minimize the appearance of pores on your face. You only need a little bit. Now, I don't think this does anything in terms of oil control but it makes my foundation glide on with so much ease that I'm just awed at the smoothness of my face. You can even use this alone for those no makeup days but you want a little bit of something to even out the texture.

• Benefit Girl Meets Pearl Liquid Pearl for Face-->This product works as a luminizer to highlight key points of your face for that ethereal glow. If you want to give your skin an all over glow, mixing this in with your base makeup can achieve that "lit from within" look. It's a golden pink highlighter from the descriptions on Benefit's website. I have not tried this product yet so let me know how it performs if you win it! ;)

• Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer-->This is another really popular primer. i have not tried it myself but it is oil-free, if you were wondering. I think the clear tint would be perfect for all skin tones.

Lips

• Tarte Lipsurgence Lip Tint in Joy--> I have not tried any Tarte Lipsurgence products before but this orange-y carrot color looks perfect for Spring! I've seen swatches of it online (of course, I wouldn't swatch this one because it's going to one of y'all) and it can be worn sheerly or built up to full opacity if desired. They are moisturizing as well, which is a very nice for those of us who don't like to use multiple products on our lips. 

I don't have swatches of the eyeshadow palette or the lip tint because I didn't want to contaminate the products that belong to the winner. Maybe if they're nice, they'll update us all on these products? (pretty please?) Anyway, you can find some of that info online if you do a quick search. There are also some pictures of the ingredients lists for these products if you want to take a look to make sure there's nothing in here that you're allergic to/clog your skin. If there's an item that you do not want to receive, you can either give it to a friend or notify me beforehand so I do not include it in your package. I've also included some random samples (not perfumes/aerosols/alcohol because those cannot be shipped by air) that I received when I ordered these items. If you would rather not have them, please let me know before I ship this out to you.

Rules

1. You have to be a follower of my blog. You can follow me using Google Friend Connect and/or Google+, whichever you prefer.
2. Follow my Twitter @MakeupWithAHart (optional). I post random things about my day and stuff if y'all are interested in that. I will also announce the winner on my Twitter and update this blog post when I have picked the winner.
3. Comment down below! You do not have to do all three--one will do--but if you would like to answer all three, by all means! If you would rather comment something else, that's fine too. Just make sure that all your comment entries are on this post and not somewhere else.
• What your favorite blog posts to read are
• Things you would like me to improve on
• In the spirit of Valentine's Day, what beauty product you love the most.
4. You can enter as many times as you want but make sure you vary your comment entries. Spam comments will be disqualified.
5. This giveaway will conclude by the end of the month (February 28, 2014) so you have until then to get your comments in! I'll give the winner 48 hours to get back to me; if they do not get back to me, I will continue to keep picking winners until someone responds with their email and mailing address. 
6. You can live anywhere in the world--just make sure your country accepts incoming packages from the United States and doesn't have restrictions on the items mentioned above. If you are under 18, please make sure your parents are aware of your entry into my contest as I do not want to freak them out. I really want this prize to go to someone who will enjoy them so I don't want there to be complications from parents or shipping restrictions getting in the way. 
7. I will only have one winner for this prize but I will be hosting future giveaways, so if you don't win this time, look forward to many more upcoming ones!

So that's it for this post! I'm sorry that it's late but I've just had a busy week with school. I had a meeting that ran over by 15 minutes but I rushed home to complete this post. Even now, I'm late to meeting my friend to go to the gym and then go grocery shopping. It's been raining so much lately that I dislike going outside--even if it's to get food. Good luck to everyone that enters and have a great weekend!

XOXO,

MWAH
