Friday Finds: Mardi Gras Masks and Jewelry

Considering all the green glitz and gold glamor of Mardi Gras, it's strange that I haven't ever dressed up to celebrate the carnival season. Sure, I've went dancing at bars and been hit in the head by a rainbow of Mardi Gras beads from the band, but half-heartedly wearing those free necklaces doesn't count. This year I'll at least take advantage of the excuse to wear even more purple glitter to work on Fat Tuesday.

And perhaps next year I'll be prepared to party in true New Orleans fashion! The handmade shops on Etsy offer quite a parade of shiny options. I had a ball browsing through masquerade costume accessories and miniature mask jewelry.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
