I opened the box and the first thing I saw was a super-cool recycled card (Boris Karloff, what's up!?) with a sweet handwritten note from my amazing gifter.

Following that... So much awesome makeup I don't even know where to begin!!! My gifter, duhkeeks, went all out and picked makeup that she specifically thought would look nice on me- like a makeover in a box, yay!!!

The first makeup I saw were two bottles of Essie polish; "Stroke of Brilliance" and "Good as Gold." Next, a lipstick in the absolute perfect shade of pink- aptly named "Just Pink" ;]- and a shimmery light pink lipgloss (the shade is "Revealed," ooh la la!).

Duhkeeks also sent "Plum Satin" creme blush, which is gorgeous, and "Mink" mascara, which is a nice brown shade that I'm excited to use because apparently brown looks good with blue eyes?? Right? I read that somewhere sometime once.

Oh oh oh and finally an eyeshadow called "Prism" which is a kind of a glittery mauve-ish color and is so much more daring than I would buy for myself but it's so pretty and I'm going to wear it tomorrow because it's Friday and what the heck! (Update as I write this: I just tried it on my wrist and it's much more subtle and even better than I thought!)

Everything except the two nail polishes is a Youngblood product, which I haven't tried before but I have heard good things about. Very excited to finally give these a whirl! Duhkeeks, you not only made my day, but you brought my makeup collection out of a rut and gave me inspiration to start looking more fly! YOU ARE MY MAKEUP SUPERHERO!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
