Wow!! What an amazing giveaway. I would be most excited to win cosmetics by Mac. I only have one lipstick from Mac and it would be great to try new products!

Oh my goodness what an amazing giveaway. So many of these things were products I was interested in. I’ll say My Paradise will have to be the top.
Thank You Temptalia. You’re infinite beauty wisdom and honest reviews make beauty shopping a million times easier.

I would love to try the “Mac Sweet Thing” Lipstick. After reading your blog post & seeing the color it has just the right amount of pop to accentuate my lips! It looks very wearable and has just enough color to make a statement!

OMG!!!! what an awesome giveaway! thank ou ery much Christine!

Well I’m most excited for MAC I get no kick! I missed out and it sounds like a very nice champagny nude liner!

But MAC Nubile, Emerald Dusk, Lightscapade, Nars Constantinople and Benefit Badgal also have my interest 🙂

hello :)i love your website and you’re reviews have helped me so much, especially the mac lipstick lip swatches so thank you! Also I’m very exited for the Benefit BadGal Lash Mascara xx

I’m the most excited for STILA petal because they don’t sell it where I live and MAC lightscapade. I’ve been trying to get my hands on that one for ages but it’s impossible! It’s not permanent at MAC in my city and the releases of the LE’s that included lightscapade were always on saturday, but I work saturday’s. So it’s mainly the things that are hardly available here that make me very excited! 🙂

Della Avatar

It’s hard to pick with such a huge amount of MAC, but my eyes immediately landed on shimmermoss. It is a huge gift though, so thing that really would be the most exciting truthfully, would be sitting with everything playing with all the colors 😀

Tina Avatar
Tina

Ahhhh I am exited about everything!!! But if I have to choose only one thing, It would probably be the Benefit BadGal Lash, because I wanted to try this one for a long time now 🙂

Marie Avatar
Marie

I’d have to say anything from Mac or the Nars product. I’ve never had the money to splurge on products that high end. It’d be amazing to have some!

Elana Avatar
Elana

These are so many things! It would take me ages to go through and look at all the reviews! I wish they were all hyperlinked so I could just flip through them all! I suppose, just by the names, I’d say Hervana because it is so hyped on YouTube. But a lot of those MAC products sound promising!

Charlotte Avatar
Charlotte

I really can’t choose which one I’m most excited for! The brands are awesome and I never really tried anything from all of them, except for mijn MAC foundation… So I’m excited for everything 😉

NARS Constantinople for me! Thanks for creating Temptalia, it’s such a great beauty read. I hardly buy items without first browsing through to see if you have a review or swatches of it up yet 😛

Vanessa Avatar

There so many things I would love to have! But… MAC Lightscapade is something I’d love to have the most because I never even got to see that in person!

VickyM Avatar

All the products are amazing! but if I had to choose I would say Nars Constantinople, Mac Petrol Blue, Stila Petal, Mac Style Minx and Mac Sweet thing 😀 you are truly generous Christine!

Lorna Avatar

Was just in Sephora drooling over there new store which is now huge….but anyway I’d be most excited for Nars Constantinople 🙂 oh and happy thanksgiving!

Angie Avatar

If MAC is involved, I’m pretty much excited for anything; most especially MAC Nubile, MAC Springsteen and MAC Sweet Thing. Thank you and hope you’re having a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Chelsea Avatar

It’s so hard to choose one item that I’m most excited. I think I’ll have to say it’s the NARS Constantinople blush, since I have yet to try any makeup from NARS!

Rosemary Avatar
Rosemary

I’m super excited about MAC Young Punk, such a beautiful shade *-* and also Nars Constantinople, if their cream blush is anything as good as their powder then I’m sold

Miranda Avatar
Miranda

That is a RIDICULOUS load of stuff!!! I am so excited for this whole collection, if I HAD to pick just one I’d say the MAC Emerald Dusk pigment! Oh man, fingers crossed to win on this one!

Ashley Avatar

If I have to pick only one thing that i;m most excited for, it would be Benefit’s Hervana. I’ve been eyeing that blush since it came out, and just haven’t picked it up yet.

Most excited for mac sunbasque!
Thank you Christine for doing this giveaway 🙂
I don’t have mac in my country and it would be truly wonderful if i won this whole set.
And happy Thanksgiving 🙂

Kind of hard to pick just one. NARS constianople is a bet. This would be perfect if I won. My daughter who is 20 and I would have a merry happy holiday making each other over.

Wow, crazy giveaway and impossible to pick one…after going over and over them I am seriously drawn to Dark Diversion though…it’s like me in a pot! 😛 A million thank you’s for the opportunity to win this bounty. xxx

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I think I’d be most excited for the MAC Midnight Madness. I had one and broke it and never had a chance to use it. I did re-pot it but the colours mixed together made it muddy 🙁 TBH though, I’m pretty excited for all the bounty 🙂

Mandi Avatar
Mandi

Ahhh I am so excited for all of these products! This is an awesome bundle. MAC Style Snob and NARS Constantinople stood out for me. Style Snob would be an everyday go-to color for me, and I have never tried Constantinople before. It’s a wonderful shade that’s not too pink and not too peach. 🙂

Andi Avatar
Andi

Getting a Benefit BadGal mascara for free would be amazing since I use that daily, but ALL OF THE MAC STUFF. <3 I've never tried a single MAC product (I know, I know) and I'm sure this would be a great intro. MAC Quietly Please seems right up the neutral/frosty alley I'm in right now.

Hi, I’m looking forward to trying the dark diversion eye liner. I like colored eyeliners with neutral shadow! Thank you for the chance to enter, and Happy Thanksgiving–

Dang, what a give away! I don’t know what to choose! Nars Constantinople is definitely a contender, but MAC springsheen is also awesome… Here’s hoping I don’t have to choose!

Amanda Avatar
Amanda

how are you supposed to pick one?!?! there’s too many!! but I guess I choose nubile just cause I don’t have any paint pots, and also because I know what that one is! lol

So many goodies! I feel faint! 😀 I’m most excited about the mac eyeshadows/pots, really. I bought my first pro palette half a year ago and I’ve been eager to fill it up but no such luck [or budget, ha ;)] just yet. 3 shadows so far, though! Went through them all…Young Punk // Shimmermoss // Petrol Blue // Emerald Dusk – all the above really are spectacular! <3

Ashley Avatar
Ashley

Oh my gosh, so many awesome goodies! Definitely excited for Style Minx, it is one of my favorites! I bought a tube with Heatherette, then when it was at my local CCO I bought a back up tube, but it’s just about all used up now, so I’d LOVE another tube. Thanks so much! 🙂

Aashild Avatar

I really cannot choose which product I am most excited about. Can I say all the Mac ones? If I had to, I’d say Mac Lightscapade. I have not tried any Mineralize Skinfinishes yet, and I think this one looks gorgeous.

Shamim Avatar
Shamim

I’m definaty excited for feeling flush mineralize blush, nubile paint pot and a few more of the MAC products! Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving Christine!!

Vivian Avatar

Probably the NARS Constantinople! Just because I haven’t had that many chances to try NARS products yet – but all those MAC ones just make me droool 🙂

Jackie Avatar

MAC Lightscapade, I don’t have a highlight but I would love one! But let’s be honest, I’m excited for EVERYTHING. 🙂 Thank you so much for this opportunity, Christine!

Carolyn Avatar

Benefit Bad Gal Lash! I’ve got a mascara problem! But I’m super excited about these others too–I don’t usually splurge on eye make-up other than mascara and I’d love to be able to play with it more and learn how to make it work for me!

Kirsten Avatar
Kirsten

I’m most excited about the MAC products – all of them! I’ve never used any MAC cosmetics, mostly because I buy almost exclusively at Sephora, but I’ve heard tons of good things about them.

Julie Avatar

I am most excited for MAC Shimmermoss, Blue Storm and Style Snob! All are beautiful and I am so greatful for temptalia! I’m sort of new to your website, but it is full of valuable information! Happy Thanksgiving!

Adriana Avatar

I’m interested on the NARS Constantinople blush. However, as I’ve never had anything from MAC, I’m excited with every product you offer! 🙂

Maria Avatar

So many gorgeous items! Would be a tie between MAC Lightscapade and Benefit Hervana I think! 🙂

Thanks again for the wonderful giveaway opportunity!

Natalie Avatar

Uh…well, I can’t really pick one, but here are my *top* choices and why I like them (by the way, assuming it’s not too much trouble, it’d be awesome if you could post links to your reviews of products you give away in these contests–I google them anyway, but just a thought!):

MAC Emerald Dusk–love the color, never tried pigments
MAC Feeling Flush–given my disaster with Milani’s Rose D’Oro, I’ve wondered if maybe I’d be better off with a cooler pink rather than coral blush…and this one’s really pretty! Which brings to my next choice–
MAC Springsheen–because maybe this coral would work!!! Plus, it seems close to NARS’s Orgasm, which always gets rave reviews
MAC I get No Kick–for those mornings I only have time for eyeliner and mascara!
MAC Nubile–another way to brighten the eyes, but not just in the inner corner; seems like a great multitasker (primer/eye shadow)
MAC One of a Kind–I’m still a little shy of full-blown lip color, so I’ve loved Clinique’s Almost Lipsticks and the Revlon Lip Butters (though some of those are actually pretty damn pigmented), and the sheerness of this–and beautiful natural color–is just perfect!
MAC Style Snob–beautiful neutral/taupe
NARS Constantinople–At the moment I only own a coral, warm pink, and plum blush, but I’ve always admired the ‘rosy-colored’ blushes out there!

Sorry for the uber-long post! Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving too!

Oh my goodness, how could I possibly pick just one product to be excited about!? If I must, I’d say I’m very excited about MAC Nubile! Happy thanksgiving!

Natalie Avatar

I’d be so excited to receive Benefit’s Hervana blush/highlighter! It looks as if it would suit my fair skin perfectly. I’m also a sucker for anything MAC.

I love absolutely everything but I’m looking forward to I get no kick eye kohl. (I’m tired of using fascinating I want a different look on my waterline.)

Benefit Hervana/MAC Rapidblack/NARS Constantinople! I’ve never actually owned a NARS Blush, or a Benefit Boxed powder and I hear wonderful things about them, so I’d be delighted to win them! And I always love a brush pen eye liner!

Tamara Avatar

MAC Sunbasque. I have heard this is a great peachy bronze and since summmer is long gone, I need all the help I can get in the bronzed healthy look area. 🙂 Thank you so much for the giveaway. Even if you didn’t ever have them, I would be a devoted reader for life, because you have helped me in so many ways. Happy Thanksgiving!

Annika Avatar

Hmmm, I think Nars Constantinople would be my pick as Nars is hard (either logistically or financially^^) to get in Germany and the colour looks great!

I don’t know why it took me so long before I tried MAC’s paint pots but I got my first ones a couple weeks ago. I love them! So I’d be really excited for the paint pots in this set, especially Nubile

Ooh, the holiday palette from Guerlain. Love, love, love Guerlain. And love, love, love Temptalia! The best beauty blog there is, in my not so humble opinion.

MAC’s feeling flush has been an unattainable firm favorite for a while although everything in this prize pack is exciting. Someone’s about to get very lucky.

My favorites out of this are Lightscapade, Blackfire, My Paradise, Scatterays, RapidBlack, & Young Punk. They’re all so unique and daring, just the kind of make up I’ve been wanting lately!

Benefit Hervana by far. I love my few Benefit products, and I would love to try more. The rest of the prize wouldn’t go without love though, as I have hardly any makeup products…

I’m most excited for MAC My Paradise (out of this crazy amazing list); I’m in love with peach and corals and I’d love to try this.

Thank you, Christine, for all you do! Sweepstakes on top of your reviews and swatches?! Belated Happy Thanksgiving. : )

It’s extremely hard to pick which product I’m most excited to see. My top picks are MAC Blue Storm, Emerald Dust, and Imaginary because I LOVE the deep colors, Petrol Blue because I saw it used as an eyeshadow base for Club once and loved it, Nubile and I Get No Kick because I like brightening neutrals, Springsheen and Sunbasque because I don’t normally go for subtle glowy cheeks (I like brights) but those are really nice, and MAC My Paradise from Surf Baby because REALLY who can resist that!

If I had to narrow it down to top three, I’d say “I Get No Kick” because I have nothing quite like it, MAC Petrol Blue, and MAC My Paradise, in that order.

I am most excited for all of the MAC products because I don’t have much MAC at all! Everything except the Benefit BadGal Lash and NARS Constantinople are new to me.

I am most excited about Benefit BadGal! I have had my eye on it ever since I got into makeup but have never been able to bring myself to spend the money on it.
