Our first B-Ray giveaway has, unfortunately, come to an end. I couldn’t be happier about the results, though! The lucky gal who’ll be sent the listed prize (and a slew of other odds and ends) is very much deserving of it, if you ask me — so have fun with your loot, my dear Kate! (Well, technically, you entered with “Kate and Zena”… but if you try using any of this on Zena, I’m tracking you down using your IP and taking her away. Away!)

Kate’s favourite blue is Revlon Riviera Blue, a dark navy that’s the closest I’ve found in the drugstore to B-Ray. If I absolutely cannot find a better dupe, I’d recommend trying the Revlon in lieu of B-Ray… but it’s not quite there in terms of epicness, so I’m still on the hunt! (On that note, though I do quite like the Revlon Matte collection on the whole. It’s a lovely drugstore selection, in product, price, and packaging!)


I love it when good things happen to good people, so I’m over the moon that random.org spat out a “43,” corresponding to Kate’s name on my spreadsheet. Congratulations, dear! Don’t forget (pshh, how could you forget?!) to email me your details asap!
