Pretty Powerful Bobbi Brown Giveaway

Here's my story:

Two people that have made me feel pretty powerful this year are my sister-in-law and my grand mother.  Both have been affected by breast cancer at different times in their lives.  My sister-in-law found out at 23 and has been so strong through the entire process and maintained her beauty with wigs and recently rocking her new short hair.  My grand mother was affected with breast cancer for the second time and has decided to dye her hair and add a few pieces for fullness in her hair.  Both women are still rocking their beauty through the hardest times and inspire me to make those little steps to showcase my beauty regardless of what is happening in my life.

What you can win: 

The Pretty Face Palette which includes an array of beautiful pink hues perfect for light and medium complexions.  It does exactly what I love to achieve, which is a natural, healthy look.
