Haul: Milani Prize!!!!

     A couple weeks ago (right around Thanksgiving) Milani was having a giveaway to celebrate their 10th anniversary. You could enter on Facebook, which I did everyday with no luck, or on Twitter. I only figured out you could enter on Twitter the second to last day, so I did, and I WON!! 

My prize came today, and of course I dug right in! I was super duper excited about this, as there were a lot of products in it I've really been wanting to try out.

Let's take a closer look at what Milani sent me! Keep reading!

Nail Swatch: Milani 'HD'

   If you read my post a few days ago about the CVS Beauty Clearance Sale, you will know that I picked up a beautiful Milani polish for only $1.37!! This is in the Milani 3D Holographic line. I only picked up the silver polish, because none of the other colors interested me much.

       These pictures were taken pretty late night, and I had to rely on artificial light, but I edited them as close to true color as I could. The first picture is in full focus, and the other 3 are just fun, so you can see the holo goodness ;-) Also, being a holographic polish, it's really hard to capture anyway. You really need bright bright sunshine to get the true effect. This is seriously an awesome polish, and I highly recommend it!

Blush Collection Pt. 3 - Drugstore & High End

Here is the oh so shocking conclusion of my blush collection. I'm jamming them all into this last post, because I'd rather not have 4 separate posts on my blush. Makes me feel bad about myself LOL. In this post I have some NYX, Milani and my MAC so.... keep reading! :-)
