E.L.F. Holiday Eyeshadow Palettes + (CLOSED)Giveaway!

Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday! Hope you all are also enjoying your weekend. Since I had a few minutes, I wanted to take the time to show you some E.L.F. Holiday palettes I had purchased a few months back when they first started surfacing at target. 


There were TONS of different eyeshadow palettes, but I chose to get these below. I know that Target just recently had a 10% off sale during black friday, so if you didn't snag these, no worries - they are still pretty inexpensive to begin with! these are also great gifts to get someone for Christmas (can you believe it's just around the corner?!) 


But here is what I purchased a few months ago!

These two are the 32 eyeshadow palettes, there's a warm palette and cool palette

even though on both said "warm" lol.. but nonetheless - really convenient to tote around! :) 

these were only $5!

 And here they are below without the box

This is the 100 eyeshadow palette!

Silly me because I didn't realize I already had one

That I purchased a year ago LOL!  so this one I'm giving away!

Like I mentioned above, I already had this palette, so these pictures are NOT from 

the one i'll be giving away - these pictures below are pictures of the 100 eyeshadow

palette I had purchased many moons ago!!

The 144 "Ultimate eyeshadow palette"

$15.00! great variety of colors, neutrals, shimmers, mattes

Without the box

With the case open, so you can see the colors (no flash)

So Like I mentioned, these are great gift ideas if you can get your hands on them, specially after the Black Friday sale - but don't forget I think E.L.F. (eyes lips face - if you're unfamiliar) has these listed on their website as well.

I also got an e-mail from them that they are extending their black friday sale! Today only

Black Friday Deal To Remember! FREE SHIPPING + SITEWIDE 50% OFF! Offer extended one more day! With any $30 order when you use code BLKFRI by 11/26/11.click here or visitwww.eyeslipsface.com.

So without further ado, on to the Giveaway!

Video :: Elf Beauty Book :: "Smoky" Eye Edition Tutorial

So here is the second part of the E.L.F. Beauty Book Series. This is the Smoky Eye Edition. I thought why not make an easy and sexy smokey eye that you can wear for an evening out on the town, or be bold and wear it at school or work. 

I hope you like the video, please do let me know what you think about my tutorials! if they don't help, they do, do you like the close up video of the eye, or far away? i haven't had any feedback, so i'm up for it :) 

Well here are the products used for this video:

FACE:

Sonia Kashuk Tinted Moisturizer in Linen

MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW25 (under eye area)

Laura Mercier Loose Setting powder in Translucent

CHEEKS:

ELF Studio Blush in Tickled Pink

EYES:

E.L.F. Beauty Book - Smoky Eye Edition 

E.L.F. Eye Brightening Eyeliner in Black (came in palette)

LIPS:

MAC Plum Lipliner

MAC Boybait Cremesheen Glass

And the Video :) (please don't forget to give it a "thumbs" UP!)

Colors Used:

Final Look:

You can do a more nude lip with this look, or if you want or be more bold and daring and do a brighter plum or deep red lip! Also - You can definitely wear falsies (false lashes) if you want to, but i just usually don't have time to whenever I go out, or get ready in the morning and it'd probably take me an hour just to try LOL but either way it was real simple and truly do hope you like this look and find the tutorial helpful!
