Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette Photos

One LUCKY girl will win this fabulous eye shadow palette ~ Too Faced Smokey Eye Collection. I was sooo....tempted to keep it for myself, but I decided to not be selfish ;p. Here, I'm posting more photos of it, so you'll know what you're competing for ;)

It comes with a sample of Too Faced Shadow Insurance, my favorite eyeshadow primer! I did a comparison between TFSI & Urban Decay Primer Potion here. Also included, are 3 How-To-Cards with step-by-step application instructions for creating smokey eyes in minutes.

GIVEAWAY ~ Win A Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette!

I wanted to do this for a while now, and I couldn't wait any longer! I planned to include more prizes and have more than 1 winner but, due to some reasons, I decided to move the other prizes to another giveaway.
