Â The prizes are from MAC’s In the Groove collection: One winner will receive Fresh & Easy Mineralize Eye Trio and Chillin’ Cremesheen Glass; the other winner will receive Style Influencer Mineralize Eye Trio and Fashion Whim Cremesheen Glass.
Here’s how it works:
- This giveaway starts today and ends Sunday, July 11, at midnight.
- You can enter once per day. (If you enter more than once per day, only the first entry will be counted.)
- This giveaway is open to readers anywhere in the world.
- A winner will be selected at random from the valid entries.
- To enter, leave a comment on this post, and tell about one of your earliest makeup purchases (or if someone bought it for you, that counts too).

Good luck!






My skin always seemed shiny in pictures so I went out and got myself Cover Girl pressed powder~ hahaha
First lipgloss was a Bourjois one which was a gift from my aunt to my sis… which I swiped
Don’t tell her hehe.
Sad that I can’t find it here, then hit with a double whammy when I can’t find it online either. Emailed Bourjois to find out if it’s been discontinued and I never got a reply.
Does tinkerbell makeup count? lol I think my first real purchase was a smashbox loose eye shadow. I’ve still got it around here somewhere.
One of my earliest cosmetic purchases would probably have to be Dr.Pepper lipsmackers.
lipsmackers for sure!
Bonnie Bell Dr. Pepper was my fav first lip product.
My first real makeup I bought was Max Factor Invisable foundation. Anyone remember this stuff?
Another very early purchase would have been some Clinique skincare (the 3-step-system) or maybe it was Origins Checks and Balances cleanser…I’m not sure which.
my first purchase is maybelline clear n smooth powder in natural. i really glad that maybelline has such a nice product since a powder which long last usually clog the pores. but its different with this. its very lightweight, nice coverage, matte, n control my sebum nicely
One of my earliest purchases is Jordana Lipstick.. but I don’t remember when
One of the earlier purchases was a maybelline mascara!
I bought the new Maybelline Gel liner in brown and I love it
My first makeup purchase was a Bourjois pinky lipgloss! It was very special for me! Thanks!
.
when i was 8ish…someone gave me a barbie lipstick because i loooove barbie and ever since then i can’t stop buying makeup! omg when mac came out with barbie loves mac collection i almost bought EVERYTHING! it just remind me of my childhood lol THE BEGINNING OF MY OBSESSION!
The first makeup purchase I remember was a Maybelline lipstick in the shade Mocchachino, and it looked awful on me.
the standard Maybelline Mascara. lol the pink and green one.
When I was around 10 I bought an all-inclusive palette: Eyeshadow, lipstick, rouge, a mini mascara. It was market down to 2 bucks and the quality and colors were horrible. *g* Never the less, I loved experimenting with it whenever my parents were gone
I remember getting a Lipsmakers set as a stocking stuffer for Christmas years ago. It’s so funny because now that I have my own children I did the same thing for them. Thanks for the great giveaway

I first bought a lip gloss – it was an apple cinnamon scented one. I don’t know who made it and have never been able to find a replacement for it since then.
Lipsmakers!! I used to love the taste of them =\
Another one of my first purchases was a brownish- terracota like blush from a brand that does not exist anymore lol! I used to wear it with a yellow – mustard like sweater and it looked great
bonne belle lipgloss was my intro into makeup-land!
It was a Face Powder and I remember I when I applied it on my face I looked like an orange
I had no idea about makeup whatsoever
One of the first purchases was a Guerlain mascara, I don’t remember which one, but I remember it was the mesmerizing gold packaging that made me buy it..
OK, as embarrassing as this sounds… my first purchase was from the Lancome counter at Macy’s in White Plains, NY and it was BLUE eyeshadow… in my defense, it was 1982 or 1983
My earliest purchase was a lipstick by Yves Rocher.
Another of my earliest purchase is Clinique glosswear in Air Kiss. I loved it so much that i got a backup. Didn’t know what i was thinking because it’s basically almost like a clear lipgloss.
My first purchase was Covergirl lash blast =D And now I’m a makeup junkie/addict lol
(take 2) =D
My first make-up purchase was a pink cream blush – totally the wrong thing for someone who never used make-up before!
my first primer was smashbox photofinish primer (the original)
I remember using Noxzema Cleansing Cream when I would go to my grandmother’s house. I’d coat my face and “lounge” in the tub. It felt so tingly.
My first makeup purchase was Bare Minerals. My mom actually encouraged me to wear makeup in junior high because my skin was so bad.
Much better now, but I still use Bare Minerals.
The earliest cosmetic purchase would have to include one of those cheapo eyeshadow trios from some generic brand at the dollar store. The palette was in the shape of a cellphone lol. I’ve come a long way since then.
I bought a mascara with my mom when i was 13, we spoke to the clerk for like an hour, she shared tips and suggestions on what i could use
Was alot of fun!
My first makeup purchase was a Jordana tinted lip balm that I bought from the mall back in 1996 when I was in the 7th grade. It was cherry and left a GREAT red/dark pink shine on my lips… plus it wasn’t sticky. I remember having to hide it in my drawer at home and sneak it on after I went to school because my mom would not let me wear any makeup yet LOL I wish I could find that lip balm again, it was great
flavored lip balm
My mom gave my bright orange nail polish when I was in elementary school, they were scandalous haha~
A bright pink loose powder blush from O Boticário! It’s beautiful, I love it!
Just went to the nordstrom and got the lady gaga lipstick, and s mineralize blush in the color gleeful!! Love them all!!
My first make up was a revlon brown eye shadow, don’t remember what it was called, but it was really pretty..
I was so excited I got new makeup today that I answered the wrong question…
My first makeup was a black mascara and a black eyeliner from Avon…
The last early beauty/cosmetic item I remember strongly is the Clairol Nice ‘N Easy light blonde hair-color my mom got me just before I went back to school. I’d just finished my 1st summer swimming A.A.U., & by September, my naturally blonde hair had turned mint green.
The hair-color didn’t really work… but I got to go for my 1st salon treatment to fix it!, so it was worth it.
Strawberry lip smackers!
My first was those old Maybelline lipsticks, I think I was around 14 or 15.
My first product I ever bought that I used daily was a CG pressed powder that was most likely too dark for my skin
I believe one of my first make up purchases was a Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in black.
My first MAC lipglass was Pink Poodle and my first MAC lipstick was Moxie.
One of my first purchases was a blue eye quad from Maybelline — seriously thought I was hot stuff!
One of my earliest purchases was the lip smackers. ;P
everyday minerals!
