I always try to enter as much giveaways on Instagram as possible because what am I going to lose in the process? I happen to come across an instagram of a beauty school called "My Beauty Mark Makeup Academy" and they have some very impressive work. The Co-Owners which are Julisa Duran and Leticia Ruiz held a giveaway for their followers. I entered as usual and ended up winning. This is actually the second time I won something in a giveaway this year. The first one was a giveaway by Bunny aka Grav3yardgirl on youtube. I won 1 pair of Velour lashes which I will review in a different blog. Anyway, I'm very thankful and bless that I won this set because I've been eyeing this set at Sephora for ages. Although it's a great value for what's inside, it was still a little too much for my budget. Thank you so much to Julisa and Leticia.
Please follow them at Instagram and see their amazing work:

I was so excited to get this set! Most of the things here are full sized. It seems very expensive because it retails for $75 exclusively at Sephora. This is basically a set of top rated products they have sold. These can be individually purchased and when you add up the products, it is worth more than twice the actual price!!! Everything in this set are very easy to use and are basically universal colors. The set I received from the mail though was defected. The Nars packaging was all scratched up, the plastic melted on the Sephora eyeshadow, and the Kat Von D perfume spilled EVERYWHERE. I took it to Sephora for an exchange and they gave me a new one. But there were some difference from the first set I got. The first set had a different eyeshadow shade which was "black light". In this one I got the shade "sunset". Also, the Buxom lip gloss in the first one is the shade "sandy" and the one I have now is "dolly". It is actually much better than the first one. I'm very happy either way. I can't thank Julisa and Leticia enough for this.
