Congrats to Our Shu Uemura ME Silver 945 Eyeshadow Winner!

 This discontinued gem now belongs to one lucky winner!

Hi everyone!  Thank you everyone who participated in this giveaway!  I am so thankful for you guys and want to let you know you know that you make every day brighter for me.

For me, this was something that was really personal and from my collection that I wanted to share with my fellow makeup addict readers.  I knew that you guys would know what a little treasure this tiny little shadow is.  I know they say one woman's old discontinued eyeshadow is another woman's precious backup she will never let go of.... so I know you know.  Thanks for participating and I wish I had more to give out.   But of course, there can only be one winner......

I know it says Julie but the winner is Alexandra S.  Check your email boo!  You are the winner of Shu Uemura ME Silver 945 Eyeshadow!  Enjoy this icon!

Don't worry if you didn't win this one!  There is another giveaway coming soon!

Don't Forget to Enter Our Shu Uemura ME SILVER 945 Eyeshadow Giveaway! Win A Long Gone Cult Favorite!

 One eyeshadow... so many different shades.  Swatched from my collection.

 Is it silver?  Is it brown?  Is it taupe?  It's ME SILVER 945 and this is probably one of the hardest to find eyeshadows.  It has been discontinued ages ago, and even long gone from Evilbay.  But I want you guys, my beautiful readers, to have a chance to win one I've been hoarding forever and share in its beauty!  Check the photo above for how gorgeous it looks in different lights.  Play with different bases and colors to steer ME SILVER 945 to be more silver, taupe, or brown.  I love it every which way!


Joeybunny and Pink Sith did a great series titled, "Taupes You Can't Have," and here is a link to their post about Shu Uemura's ME Silver 945. 

 All it's beauty waiting for you!
 My EOTD with this elusive taupe.
Happy Friday!
