Funky Makeup Junkie 100 Followers Thank You Giveaway - CLOSED

*I didn't post the winners, because I was very busy at the time and by the time I contacted them, it was over a month after the giveaway ended. But rest assured, the winners were contacted and their prizes went out in the mail.*

Hello My Funky Readers,

This week I hit two personal milestones, I've written 100 posts and now I've also gotten 100 followers! That means that there are 100 people that don't mind reading what I write, and that makes me extremely happy! So in order to celebrate, and to thank my wonderful readers I'm holding a 100 Followers Thank You giveaway! Because I THANK YOU my readers for sticking with me and reading my blog! :)

I think in almost every other post I go on and on about how I am in a position of living in UK but still having an access to some US brands, blah blah. Well this giveaway will be all about that, because there will be 2 winners! I picked the items that I know are much coveted on either side of the pond, but which are hard to get since these brands are not available in US/UK respectively. I also picked majority of the items that I personally use and like, so almost all of them come with Lyuba recommends label. (the only ones I haven't used are the lipsticks, but I've read good reviews on them) I tried to keep both prizes at comparable value, but because of the stupid exchange rate and difference in products, please understand that it might appear that one prize is better than other. That was not my intent at all.

  

US Brands/Prize #1:

- Wet n Wild ColorIcon eyeshadow trio in I'm Getting Sunburned and Knock on Wood - by now you all should know how much I love I'm Getting Sunburned palette, and you can check out all the looks I did with it here.
- Covergirl NatureLuxe Glossbalm in Cabernet - I love these! They feel exactly like my favorite balms, but still deliver just enough color to not look like balms!
- Covergirl LipPerfection Lipcolor in 405 Fairytale.
- Wet n Wild Megalast nail color in Blackmail. 
- Wet n Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Turquoise.

UK Brands/Prize #2:

- MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette Heaven and Earth - Do I need to say anything?
- MUA lipstick in shades 7.
- Sleek Pout Paints in Peek-a-Bloo, Pin Up and Cloud 9 - these are exactly the shades that I've bought for myself, and I'm in love with them! 

Rules:
- You must be a follower to enter. 
- Giveaway will be open until September 3, 2011.
- Open worldwide, and there will be two winners.
- To enter, please fill out the survey form below.

 
Good luck!

Sleek Caribbean Curacao Love #1

Hello my Funky Readers,

Please be kind to me! This is my first matte eyeshadow look in a long time, I think I've only used mattes maybe once or twice before? I figured for my next 7 Days Palette I need to give some love to Sleek's Caribbean Curacao palette.

 I still need LOTS of practice with blending, but I'm getting there :) Mattes are challenging LOL. So far my favorite shade is Bloody Mary, I can't stop using it!

Bloody Mary on the lid, Purple Hase and Blue Hawaiian

What do you think? Do I have a potential?

FOTD with GOSH Long Lasting Eyeliner Pen in Black

Hello Everyone,

Today I have my last eyeliner look for you because I got bored with them. I need to get me more liquid eyeliners to choose from, right now I have 6 to choose from but I think we all can agree that it's not enough! I used GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen in black and Collection 2000 Glam Metallics in Fierce as an accent.

I think this is pretty safe look, nothing like in-your-face red and blue.

I'm pretty happy with the way liner came out too. :)

 What do you think? Would you like to see more eyeliner looks once I get the inspiration back? :)

BOOK REVIEW Wednesday: Kissing Kelli by Kathy Carmichael

Hello my Funky Readers,

I've decided to make book reviews a regular feature on my blog because I read so much and often come across very good books that I just have to share!

Today I present to you Kissing Kelli by Kathy Carmichael, a Texas Legacy Romantic Comedy. And a comedy it is!

Product Description

Romantic Comedy
Sensuality Level: Sweet (G-rated)

Rodeo champion and wealthy rancher, Bobby Gray Nelson, is used to women setting out to lasso him. But when he meets feisty Kelli Palmer, she refuses him on every count. He's always up for a challenge and is determined to woo this beautiful veterinarian who he thinks could be his soul mate.

Kelli Palmer doesn't believe love is in the chute for her. She's devoted herself to the animals she cares for and the family she adores. So when her sister claims dibs on the handsome cowboy, Kelli reins in her attraction and tells him to skedaddle.

Losing is not an option for this gorgeous cowboy. He comes up with a 5-step plan to place his brand on Kelli's heart.

The problem is, he can't even make it to the first step. Never fear, though. He's got a Plan B.

Can Kelli stand her ground -- even after his toe-curling kiss?

~*~*~*~*~
This is a fairly short book and I've read it in one sitting, but let me tell you it grabbed my attention and held on until the last page. It is a very cute book, and the characters are very likable, especially Bobby Gray. He is a hilarious goofy cowboy on a mission, who loves making plans (and writing them out). He is trying to get Kelli to go out with him by finding all these "sick" and sick animals for her to treat because she is a vet and has a very big soft spot for animals. I kept giggling the whole time he brought her yet another animal. The only thing I didn't like was Kelli's sister Lori, I thought she was full of herself and needed to get some sense smacked in her. But even she comes around at the end.

Overall I loved it, and recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a giggle and feel good romance book. Meanwhile, I will be checking out the other books by this author.
