Quo Cosmetics. Have you heard of them? They are a Canadian makeup brand sold only at the Shoppers Drug Mart stores there.

Hello!

As you know, October is breast cancer awareness month. I have joined up with Team Pink Eye to help raise awareness.

Team Pink Eye is raising money for Susan G. Komen throughout the month of October with looks and giveaways. There are a lot of bloggers involved and giveaways as well, and it’s all for a good cause!

Giveaway Information:

What: One person will win a $25.00 gift card to Silk Naturals. Additionally they are donating a portion of proceeds from this special collection to Susan G. Komen. (This giveaway is sponsored by Team Pink Eye, not Susan G. Komen).

How: To be eligible for this and other TPE giveaways this week, be sure to donate at least $5.00 to Susan G. Komen through Team Pink Eye. You must comment on this post with the name that you donated under (donations can be made using an alias but TPE needs to be able to match the donation to the commenter for the entry to count).

Timing: The giveaway will remain open until 10:00 pm CST on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011.

Winner details: TPE will tally up the entries and winners will be chosen via Random.org. Winners will be announced on Monday, October 24th, 2011. Check out other giveaways happening now!

Well folks, we did it again. We made it through another week!

I am headed down to Santa Monica today for the Beauty Social being hosted by Beautylish. Hopefully I will learn some great stuff and meet some cool people! And that leads me to my question…

Oh boy Wet n Wild fans, I think you might want to hold onto your hats for this!

There is a new Coloricon palette out exclusive to Walgreens called I Heart Matte (with an actual heart not spelled out) and she’s kinda awesome!

I Heart Matte features eight new matte eyeshadows including bright colorful colors and more natural shades.
