Wicked Winnings Wednesday: The Final Cut

half-sponsored giveaway

It's the final countdown er...giveaway! Since this one is the very last, I decided to try and make it as big as I could. I reached out to one of my new favorite indie cosmetics brands, Blackbird Cosmetics, and asked if she wanted to partner up and help sponsor this giveaway. Thank heavens, she said yes! Combining my vague and meandering suggestions with her unbelievable gift for color, we made something very unique just for you guys!


Thanks to Madame Blackbird, there are two brand new one of a kind shades in this giveaway. That's right: this giveaway is for a custom eyeshadow duo! How fabulous is that?! 

I would also like to give a HUGEMASSIVEOMGWOW thanks to Rebecca Shores for providing the amazing pictures for this giveaway. If you haven't already, you need to follow this chick. She does some stunning artistic makeup as well as really attainable looks. If not for her youtube, I would still be smearing my face with pencil eyeliner.

The best part guys: I finally fulfilled my life-long dream of being a cosmetics namer! I've been in a mythological state of mind (planning my next series) so I was definitely trying to think of a good sorta-scary duo to name these lovelies after. After a bit of back-and-forth, they were finally named and Scylla and Charybdis were born.

First up is Charybdis. It is an inky matte teal. Ultra dark and perfectly suited to take you from Halloween to New Years. It is named after the monster/whirlpool from antiquity because really...what color would a terrifying sea monster really be? 

I love you, becca

Next is Scylla. In mythology, Scylla was a monster who lived on the rocks opposite Charybdis, waiting to destroy ships who ventured to close. In this case, it is a magnificently matte shade of oxblood. I feel like this shade is quintessentially "Fall" and everyone should own it.




Your Prize
Luxury Sized (4g) jar of Scylla eyeshadow
Luxury Sized (4g) jar of Charybdis eyeshadow
assorted samples provided by Blackbird Cosmetics

Good luck!

    I love Blackbird, her mattes are amazing. This fall I am rocking dark purple mattes along with matte black but I have been moving into some lighter matte shades since my Blackbird order showed up. I love the final give away is an indie one!

    I wish I could wear oxblood yearlong especially on my lips and nails, but I can't forget my fall favorite of rich golds.

    My favorite color for fall that I've seen is in a Merle Norman palette. It's called "Gosh Garnet" and it's a beautiful coppery pink!

      generally she applies lipstick with a brush (I think). Shes got a kick-ass video on how to apply lipstick. You should check it out. Also, her winged liner video. It seriously changed my makeup for the better.

    The oxblood red, not the tomato red/coral.

    I tend toward black on the eyes year round, but variety is the spice of life, non?

    That oxblood shade is absolutely stunning! I love anything red, orange or coppery. I think it looks so lovely on most eyes and accentuates the face really well. :)

    Sorry! Was so excited about giveaway I forgot to tell my favourite fall colours! I love most nude browns, golds or coopers then usually for nighttime a bit of drama like the oxblood would be fab!

    For makeup, really into the whole pink-mauve-dusty rose-burgundy spectrum. For clothing, I've been loving olive green lately.

    My favourite fall colors have a bit of purple in them. They could be mauvey, pinkish, browny, but they need to have that purple edge.

    I love that many of Blackbird Cosmetics mattes have a hint of purple in them.
