Besides, who doesn’t like free stuff?
Why? I finally upgraded Wordpress to 2.6.1! I never did it before because I didn’t want Post Levels to break … and it didn’t! It doesn’t work in 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 but I guess 2.6.1 somehow fixed it (yes I was still using 2.3.1)! Yay. But anyway, I also really wanted to use the Register Plus plugin and I was sick of making newly registered members fill out a questionnaire before I approve their account. Most importantly, I was losing track of users on here and forgot who half of them are.

Obviously I don’t use eyeshadow but congrats on upgrading.
I wish I could use eyeshadows, but they just look odd on me, my eyelids are a bit weird.

Hi,
I’ll do a review of the two brushes after I get them. But unfortunately I don’t have the specific MAC brushes that they’re comparable to.
I just went off of the reviews that were left on the site by people that do have those specific MAC brushes. Haha. 
But I guess I’ll just do a review on how well I think they work, not so much a comparison since I don’t have anything to compare it to. LOL.

Hehe well I hope they turn out good! I have to start looking for cheaper alternatives to make up from now on if I’m gonna save any money! Looking forward to your review.

*testing. It worked. Thank you!
[...] is having a contest, and one lucky person who follows the directions in this entry will win a MAC eyeshadow, and one lucky person who posts about it on their own blog will win a NYX [...]
I swear I upgraded my wordpress quite recently too and when I came back from holiday… I had to upgrade again! I think they should have automatic system or something where they upgrade themselves
Everyone loves MAC eyeshadows, woo~

There is a wordpress plugin that automatically updates WP for you… BUT I’ve heard of many horror stories with it. I’d love an automated system (WP 2.7?!?!) … but I think I’d feel safer doing it manually for now.
Cool idea… I logged into my cpanel to design a subdoman so i click the automatically upgrade link for 2.6.1 since I was so lazy to do it by hand.

I use to have that too in Fantastico in my cPanel but for some reason it doesn’t appear there anymore!
Love this idea, Katy!
I need to upgrade, too! (but i have no idea where to start!)
I registered for your site…just waiting for approval. I’ll fill in the remainder of my profile when I am.
@Risse
Thanks for the tip… I just pulled out a bunch of my lashes because of my fake eyelashes so I want them to grow back ASAP! I heard Vaseline works too.
Heh, I love free stuff, even though me entering would be pointless since I don’t use eyeshadow. Now’s just as good a time to start though
Hey doll! Thanks for the comment. And yeah, I felt that way too but it just took me a long time of searching out the mascara that would elongate my eyelashes AND kinda volumize them. Even till now my lashes still look short to me, lol. But I’ve been trying to make them grow a little by coating my eyelashes with Vitamin E oil and it’s actually kind of worked! My eyelashes grew about half a centimeter this past month.
this place is complex! lol
hey sweetie. I have a new domain now. see you soon.
I love MAC eyeshadow! There’s so many awesome colors. I’m gonna go work on my profile now. =]
Hi Katy! The NYX products don’t really stay on me, the eyeshadows can last if you use a base like UDPP or Too Faced Shadow Insurance, but of course their lipglosses and lippies don’t really have any staying power. The eyeshadows itself are pretty soft but pigmented, I think some are just TOO soft so they come off fairly easily…
oooh a contest ill definatly join! found your page off of mallvibes
I adore your new theme
lol i’ll enter again if you’re giving out boooks yayyy

Ahhh!! I love MAC items so this contest is super awesome~
Urgh, I really hate how WP has upgrades all the time. I just finished updating some stuff and then they come out with another 2.something.something D: So annoying!
Nice contest! I’ve just started experimenting with eyeshadows so this is right up my alley!
Congrats on upgrading although I have no idea what it means, hehehe
Cool contest! I love contests… but rarely do I ever win them, lol.
I hate how WP is constantly coming out with new versions so that I have to keep upgrading…
yay for upgrading! It’s so easy but takes so much effort to start doing it :/
I must say, this is an interesting contest.
Everything is better when it’s free!! And everyone loves a contest!!
