Enter to Win: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Contour and Bronzing Powder Instagram Giveaway

I can't believe that it's already fall. Yes, it is my favorite season - the cooler weather; the darker makeup; the thoughts of being able to layer my clothes and throw on some booties - the possibilities are endless. So I figured now was a good time to give away one of my favorite bronzing compacts the Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Contour and Bronzing Powder in color 05 Moyen - Brunettes.

The Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Contour and Bronzing Powder has four matte shades that you can use for bronzing and contouring. Normally, I would use a compact that was fully one shade but I have a hard time as a woman of color finding a good bronzer that doesn't run red on my skin tone and the Guerlain bronzers are a god send. With that said, we all know their bronzers can be a bit pricey to purchase especially when I change shade throughout the winter/summer. So I found the 4 seasons Terracotta bronzer which is a great deal for me because it was only $76 on Sephora, I was able to use a coupon and it gives me 4 shades to choose from throughout the year. 

Knowing how hard it was for me to find a high end bronzer, I wanted to hook two of you up with your very own in color 05 Moyen - Brunettes (I ordered three when I purchased - yes, I stick by my statement of my favorites become your favorites). Now onto the Instagram giveaway!

Juvia's Place The Nubian 2 Eyeshadow Palette Flash Giveaway

Um, can we talk about an impromptu giveaway please? There has been so much going on in the world that it has made my head spin over the past few days. I've already touched on the subject on my Instagram page which you can view here until I formally work up the blog post. But tonight...I want to see something that makes me smile.

So I've decided to gift one of my Instagram followers a brand new Juvia's Place The Nubian 2 Eyeshadow Palette. It's so funny because I just opened this palette an hour ago to work on it for a blog feature and each swatch of the Egyptian themed colors screamed "yes, give me away!"

Here's how to enter:

1. You must follow @candycoatedclosets on Instagram.

2. In the comments on this Instagram photo, tag a friend and tell them something uplifting; something positive. Tell them why you love them!

3. You can enter as many times as you want - just make sure that you comment and tag a new friend with a new message that will make them smile.

That's it! I will have swatches up of the colors on my social channels along with a detailed blog post on the palette but I wanted something to go up tonight so that the week could end on a brighter note.

Contest runs from Friday, July 8, 2016 and ends Sunday, July 10, 2016 at 11:59pm est. One winner will be randomly chosen from those who commented (not those tagged within the comments) and announced within 24 hours of the contest ending.

No giveaway/spam profiles & profile must be set to public by the end of the contest so we can ensure that you are following @candycoatedclosets. Open to US residents only (sorry my international babes); 18+, to enter. Odds of winning depend on number of entries received.

Coloured Raine Liquid Lipstick Swatches and Review - Tootsie, Roulette, Cherry Blossom and 2AM

My love for Coloured Raine Cosmetics knows no bounds. I fell into their cosmetic cult when I began my beauty journey in 2013 - which is probably why I feel so attached to them. The line is cruelty free, paraben free and vegan (no bunnies were harmed in the making of these products). It's also edgy, bold and full of color which is why I have so many of their liquid lipsticks. Here are swatches of 4 colors from the liquid lipstick collection:

These liquid lipsticks costs $17.00 USD for 4 grams of product. Because the color is so intense, I recommend applying one coat to your lips (after exfoliating) for all day wear. Always remember that with any liquid lipstick, the color may look different on you due to skin tone and undertone (of your skin and the liquid lipstick itself).

Roulette - Dark rouge with purple undertones based liquid lip paint that dries matte.

Tootsie - Dark chocolate with subtle cherry tones liquid lip paint that dries matte.

Cherry Blossom - Blue based red liquid lip paint that dries matte. By far, my favorite red shade on the market to date.

2AM - True jet black liquid lip paint that dries matte.
