Spiced Beauty 300+ Mac Giveaway winner + New giveaway
I'm so sorry it took so long. It took forever to go through all the entries. With that said they're were a lot of people who entered :) .. anyways with no further ado here is how the winner was selected.
I started by going through the entries. Then I put all the names in an excel sheet. For some odd reason I couldn't start the names at 1. So I started at 2 and there was 268 entries in total.

Eshakti.com clothing review + $250.00 and 25 other prizes giveaway!!!!!
I was contacted by Eshakti.com to do a clothing review. I've never heard of the company so I made sure I did my research before I accepted their offer.
Quick E shakti.com facts:
The Fit:
I ordered the dress when I was 8 pounds heavier (go me..lol), so the elastic band is a livesaver. I can also add a belt to the dress to dress it up :) I plan on pairing it with some bronze heels & leather jacket.
Quality:
This is not cheap filmsy cotton! It's quite sturdy.
Prices:
The prices are reasonable if you take in account the tailing to make each item specific.
Overall:
This dress is super cute & I am satsified!
To Enter:

Quick E
- It's an online clothing store that makes "custom clothes to your size, your style. YES, YOU GET TO TWEAK THE STYLE - the length, the neckline, the sleeve -to your taste."
- Sizing 0 to 26W
- They ship in 3 business days. Yes, even custom clothes ship in 3 days. And the transit time from us to the customer is typically 4 days. So in 7 business days or less.
After looking at the website I decided to get a super cute ruffle dress.

Cover FX Blogger event (PIC HEAVY)
I had the chance to attend the first ever Cover fx blogger event!
I don't think I have ever told this story but the first brand I ever used in school was COVER FX!
First some background on CoverFX:
As a MUA I know that a flawless canvas is the best to work with. Since everyone skin has different needs Cover FX has 6 formula options!
At the end of the event each girl walked out with "The Big Cover Starter Kit" + BritePrep FX, Mint Glaze lip primer &ClearPrep FX.
The kit includes:
I'm sooo happy I had the opportunity to attend this event. As a woman of color I know it's super hard to find a foundation to suit my skin tone. I'd recommend CoverFX because it ranges from lighter to deep dark. No one is left out :)
