The stila palette, i’ve heard great things about stila but have never had to chance to try it. So i’m wondering if Stila lives up to the hype 😀

It will perhaps seem stupid but i’m more excited about Stila Backstage Eyeshadow Palette mainly because I love the name and also because I have nothing from Stila so far.

I’m most excited about Look at Her! lipstick. I was actually going to buy it this weekend. I guess I’ll wait now. Lots of great prizes here.

The product I’m most excited for is the MAC Partial to Pink Cremesheen Glass. I’m excited about all of the products mentioned though. (:

I’m most excited for Flaunting It Kissable Lipcolour because I got one of the Kissable Lipcolors and loved it(: And I was sad I didn’t get this one! ):

I’m looking forward to the Mac Angel lipstick because that’s one of the MAC items that is on my list for the future. 🙂 I just started buying from Mac, and winning this would REALLY help out my little collection. Thanks for the giveaway Christine! Keep doing what you’re doing. <3

Both MAC lipsticks!! Fall is here and I love the richer feel of a lipstick – as opposed to the flirty youthful lip gloss vibe of summer.

I’ve never tried a MAC paint pot before, so definitely that. I just have so many other things that work as bases, but I still have always wondered if the paint pots would do a better job

I’m looking forward to the MAC Flaunting It Kissable Lipcolour & MAC Angel Lipstick. I’m excited for all of it though so it’s hard to pin it down.

I’m the most excited for Mac Antique Green pigment. I’ve been wanting to buy this to try it over my new Genuine Treasure paint pot so I am so excited to see it on the list of prizes!

I’m excited about all of them, I haven’t been able to spare the money for any new stuff since I started nursing school so anything new is exciting, but I am always looking for new lipsticks.

I know this sounds silly, but I’ve always wanted to try a MAC lipstick! For some reason, I’ve never actually tried anything from MAC. So I would love to try out MAC Angel lipstick 😀

I’m most excited to try the MAC Flaunting It Kissable Lipcolour! I’ve always wanted to try MAC’s kissable lipcolour and Flaunting It is definitely a color I’d wear.

Sara Avatar

Oh my goodness do I ever want macs Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot. I’ve drooled over this thing since it came out, it would be stunning for fall!!

Quinctia Avatar
Quinctia

I’d be excited for the lipsticks. With my pinky lips, I tend to wear a lot of pinks, but I also think I look good in coppery tones, so I’d probably like both of those.

Jennifer Avatar
Jennifer

Ah you rock Christine!! Another giveaway yay!! 🙂 The thing I would try first would be the MAC paint pot. I’ve used one before, but I always hear people talking about them. 🙂

Eva Avatar
Eva

Believe it or not, I’d probably go for the MAC #43 lashes because I’ve never tried false lashes! Mine have always been pretty thick and long. I’d definitely love to try a pair of falsies out, though.
Next on my list is probably MAC Angel lipstick, just because I’ve never tried it and have heard so much about it…though now that I’m looking at swatches Flaunting It looks more up my alley…I’ll just stop here, haha. Happy 5th, Temptalia!

Carina Avatar

im excited for all the listed products ivenever owned mac nor stila. I did look up swatches of the products and im really fond of the angel lipstick.

I’m most excited for the MAC #43 Lashes! I love absolutely Japanese false lashes and I have collected quite an assortment but I have never had the chance to try any from MAC since it is out of my budget compared to Japanese brands

OMG this list of giveaway items are amazing. I would love it if I received just one. If i had to narrow down just one item I would say……. I can’t all are great

Although MAC’s Angel lipstick is a cult favorite, I seriously want to try the Stila Backstage Palette. That’s what I’d look forward to.

Katie H Avatar

The Stila Backstage ES Palette is gorgeous! It looks fun, but still fairly wearable, which is a huge must for someone a little wary of bright colours 🙂

Charity Avatar

I’d try the creamsheen glass. Believe it or not, I’ve yet to buy a MAC lipgloss despite it being so popular. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Buxom lipglosses for the mintyness, but I’d love to try a MAC lipgloss as well.

Erin Avatar

I’d be excited to try any of the Mac products. I’ve only used one of their eyeshadows, and I like it, but I’ve never really branched out beyond that. Being able to try something new would be awesome.

of all the prizes, i feel most excited about the MAC lipsticks. i’m just a fan of their lipsticks in general. if i had the funds, i’d try them all!

There’s so much great mac stuff, it’s hard to decide what i’m excited most about, but if i had to choose, it would be the cremesheen glass 🙂

Lingping Avatar

This is difficult… I have about equal levels of excitement for the Stila palette and the pigment. I have never tried Stila eye shadows, and I have never owned a full size pigment. I think maybe the palette wins, though 🙂 It looks beautiful and has very pretty colors.

I’m most excited about the Stila palettle.. I haven’t gotten to try any Stila products but I’ve always heard such great things about them.

I would be most excited for MAC Angel lipstick. It is the perfect color and many people say it is a dupe for a lipstick I’m running low on and I wanted to try some MAC lipsticks

Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot. Feeling the slick, light silvery-grays for fall. And yet I don’t have any. Weird. And also the Antique Green pigment.

I’m most excited about the Bobbi Brown eyeshadow. I’ve heard so many good things about the quality of her products, but most of them are out of my price range! 🙁

Meghan Avatar

I’d be most excited for the bobbi brown eyeshadow, because I pretty much exclusively buy MAC eyeshadows, because I like being able to have them all in the same color/size palettes, and it would be fun to try another brand.

Jenn Avatar

I’d say I’m most excited for the dangerous cuvee paintpot. But, it all looks amazing. I haven’t tried much MAC or anything on this list. Would it be blastphemy to admit I have never tried MAC lipstick?

I’m most excited for Mac Angel lipstick. My friend has one and it looks divine on her! *hardy har*

Thank You for the generous giveaway. Although, it would have been nice to split all the products among more winners. At least it gives a better chance at those wonderful prizes! 🙂

Claire Mills Avatar

Honestly…I’d be most excited about Angel Lipstick. It’s my all time favourite light pink (plus it’s what my boyfriend calls me – that’s the reason I picked it up in the first place). I only have a tiny nub of mine left and always forget to pick up another cos I’m always more interested in the LE stuff. Althought the kissable lipcolour sounds awesome too, I only have one and I ADORE it. Rarely use it as I don’t want it to run out 🙁

Skyla Avatar
Skyla

I’m definitely the most excited about Look At Her! lipstick. One, I don’t have any of the lipsticks from that line and two, the color would look great on my skin tone! Thanks, again Christine for these wonderful giveaway’s 😀 <3

The Stila palette. I have never tried their eye shadows, but I love other Stila products. and I’m new to false eyelashes, so the MAC lashes are pretty cool also.

I love Mac’s Antique Green Pigment. I had a small sample pot that’s running out because I use it so often. Great with brown eyes. If only MAC wasn’t so pricey in Aus!

Definitely the Dangerous curve paint pot. I’ve never owned a paint pot before and I love shimmery neutrals on the eyes paired with a bright lip so this would be perfect.

I am super excited for the antique green pigment — I haven’t really had the chance to play with pigments yet and think it would be a fun color to start with…I’d like to do a wash over a black eyeliner to really make it stand out and use some gold as well….

I’m most excited for the MAC Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot. It is exactly the colour I’ve been trying to find, unfortunately I don’t have easy access to MAC products at the moment.

Allie Avatar

If I really had to pick one, it would be the Stila Backstage Eyeshadow Palette. I’m OBSESSED with paint pots, and my jaw literally dropped when I saw the lovely Dangerous Cuvee on this list, but I just think the Palette would get more use. ^_^ Plus, I don’t have anything from Stila yet, but I was just at Sephora a few hours ago and their colors are so smooth-feeling!
