Nouveau Cheap x LORAC Cosmetics Instagram Giveaway (Five Mega PRO 2 Palettes)

Giveaway Announcements

Some of you had asked who won the Lipstick League BPAL giveaway so I wanted to be sure you saw this (from the giveaway app):

Congrats to Faery W! I hope you enjoy all of your new fragrances!

Also, I want to let you know that I will be announcing the Salon Perfect St. Patrick's Day Instagram giveaway winners on my Instagram tomorrow, so be sure to check in there to see who won!

Salon Perfect St. Patrick's Day Collection: Swatches & Instagram GIVEAWAY (Giveaway Now Closed)

Press Sample 

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed, but please feel free to look at my swatches, if you'd like!

I am so excited and honored to be able to share this with you! I've partnered with Salon Perfect to give away TWENTY SETS of a VERY special St. Patrick's Day nail color collection on my Instagram, and it could not be easier to enter (more on that in a moment).

First let me tell you what's so special about this collection. Not only does it contain four St. Patrick's Day-appropriate shades from the core Salon Perfect line, but it also contains two brand new toppers that you cannot purchase anywhere. Not online, not at Walmart--you cannot purchase these polishes, period. They are exclusive to this set!

Salon Perfect St. Patrick's Day Collection

(retail value: priceless!)

Keep reading for swatches of all of the polishes in this collection, plus instructions about how to enter the giveaway for a chance to win one of twenty sets!

Giveaway: Win 12 Perfume Oils from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

The Lipstick League is proud to present to you this very special giveaway compliments of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab!

Win it: Twelve Perfume Oils from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

(total retail value: $235)

One lucky winner will receive all twelve of the BPAL oils you see above, and what makes this giveaway even more special is that every single fragrance was hand-chosen by a member of the Lipstick League, from us to you! (My choice was of course Shoggoth, which I reviewed for you here.)

Rules and entry form, after the jump...

Jesse's Girl Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black

(retail: $6.99, 0.17 oz)

This liner comes in one shade (Black). From the Jesse's Girl website:

Our unique Japanese calligraphy-style brush allows for precise, super-fine application that lets you create lines as small as one millimeter thickness! Combined with a formula that dries super-quick (for a waterproof, smudge-proof application), our liquid eyeliner glides on smoothly without tugging or pulling.
