Heya, ladies. Guess which blog just turned three years old. 🙂 Yup, that’s ancient in internet years! MBB’s officially a senior citizen.
Sorry about the hiatus from video, but I’m gonna do them more often now. Here’s a quick tip I learned from makeup artist Billy B, who explained that moisturizers are good for more than just moisturizing.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Summer Staff says
Love it!!! Most videos give me tips, but I have never heard some of those. You look AMAZING! Your skin looks flawless and I love the pearls 🙂
Funny thing is, on Facebook I kept coming out super pale and my face looked chalky, and I didn’t know why and neither did my friends! I use Clinique’s Tinted Moistuirizer with SPF 15 and I didn’t even know 🙂 thanks so much!! I want more MBBTV
Kate & Zena says
Ha ha ha, Tabs has more roles than poor Karen.
Yay for more videos. We <3 MBB.
Oh yes, Zena wanted me to send you this particular photo:

NC says
Nice tips !! and you should be doing more of this 🙂
kristen says
Congrats on reaching 3 years! That video was awesome, you should definitely do more of them. How’d you do the cool background?

Karen says
Hi, kristen! Yup, 3 great years.Tabs actually the videos for me in exchange for gravy. 🙂 He used Adobe After Effects, a little bit of Photoshop, a great animation program called Anime Studio and something called Final Cut. That cat loves software, haha!
ShonoiF says
I like you so much more now Karen. I didn’t even know it was possible. Thank you for the video and I’ll be sure to use these tips>
Karen says
🙂 You are too cute, ShonoiF.
Have a fantastic week!

Heya, Deconstruction! I’ll be doing more, so check back. 🙂
Happy Sunday…
Devs says
Love this video, and great tip! Can’t wait for more of these!
Karen says
🙂 Hey, Devs! Hope you had a fab weekend.
Instant Karma (formerly L) says
Aw, you look so cute! I want your skin, grr. I appreciate that Tabs produces your videos XXXXXXS
…and I think that means “hello” in cat. Tigger clearly appreciates a production by a fellow brown tabby.
Rae says
Hurrah!!! Happy blogiversary my dear 🙂

Thanks, Rae! 🙂
Kypris says
Yay, congrats on 3 years! Love the video, and I’m looking forward to more. Also, I love bloopers (sometimes they’re my favourite part of watching a show…).
Karen says
Me too! 🙂 I especially love watching the scenes where people are trying NOT to laugh… those crack me up!
Kypris says
I agree, those are totally the best! It’s especially awesome for those where they laugh and you see their true personalities and interactions with others, which are often completely different from their characters (usually mean, dour, or sulky characters :P).
jess says
Karen, you look fantastic! I love your videos. Where did you get that green dress? I heart it! =))
Karen says
Hi Jess,
I bought that dress from Marshall’s a couple weeks ago. It’s a Calvin Klein that I basically got for half off… I love that store!
Amber says
That was cute! Happy 3 years!

Hi Amber,
How’s your weekend been? I can’t believe it’s already Sunday… am fully NOT prepared to face the week.
heyhey says
Oh heyyyyyyy, look who’s compositing! This is quite the upgrade from your previous vids. Fancy! And love the outtakes.
Now how about some Tabs vids and give Rich + Winston a run for their money (where is Rudy, btw?).
And thank you for the SPF reminder. Got a summer wedding coming up!
Karen says
Poor Rudy! Winston seems to always snatch the spotlight away from him!
Wait… are you getting married or are you gonna be in a wedding?
shivotra says
your skin looks fab. happy anniversary.

Hey Paris!
Thanks very much. I hope you weekend was great! 🙂
Anna says
Haha yay it’s cool to see you talking and moving as opposed to just reading your blog (does that sound creepy? Maybe slightly). You’re so cute!
Sarah says
I love the intro!
And the tip of course, but mostly the intro and pink background! I love all your other videos, but this one definitely sets a more professional tone and image!
gn. says
Happy blogiversary!
This may seem weird but I’m really hypnotized (for lack of a better term) by your voice. O.o This video is so fun to watch. It feels like I’m watching one of those fashion week videos. Heehee.

Sonja says
Yeey for the video, you were super adorable!!
I’m on the hunt for a new moisturizer (is that the hardest word to spell or what?!) because my oily skin developed some dry patches on my cheeks, probably due to the cold weather. Not even my Clinique Dramatically different moisturizer is helping anymore…
NINA says
Awesome vid! And congratulations on 3 years, Karen!
Doreen says
Congrats on reaching 3 years! I always love to read your blog, Karen, and here’s to many more years to come! I LOVED this video—please give Tabs my kind regards on a great directing job, too. Great tips, and I never thought about using a brush to apply moisturizer before. Right now I’m just using fingertips for both moisturizer and foundation, but when I do convince myself to use a kabuki for foundation, I’ll definitely try it out. Thanks so much! P.S.: Your skin looks fantastic in the video!
Marina says
Congrats, Karen, that’s so great! My blog is just a bit more than 1 year so far 🙂

CB says
Hey Karen,
Your video made me smile 🙂 Congratulations on the blog becoming 3 years old! I will try out that tip of using a foundation brush to apply moisturiser. Props to u and Tabs!
Eileen says
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. Your warm and sunny disposition come shining through. I enjoy your humorous approach (i.e. the Rouge Coco series) and can see why you’ve been going strong for three years. Congratulations!
Barbara says
Love the video! It’s so much fun to see you “live”. You should be on E, interviewing people about their makeup and skincare routines -You have a great prescence. And as usual, Tabs did a great job with his multiple responsibilities. I hope your craft services table includes lots of Fancy Feast and gravy 🙂
qudz104 says

Marian says
Congratulations! I’ve recently discovered your blog and I just love it! I look forward to each and every entry from you and base lots of my purchases on your advice. Keep up the great work!
Scentsy woman says
Great tip with the makeup brush! I just shared with my bestie and I’m now following your updates! Thanks =)
Daria says
Happy anniversary! Great video – you’re completely adorable! Can’t wait for more 😀
Christine says
Congratulations on the three year anniversary! Lovely video – I couldn’t figure out why my face kept on going so white in photos when in normal lighting, I look normal. Now, I know it’s because of the SPF in my moisturizer. I can now avoid people screaming, “OMG!!! IT’S MICHAEL JACKSON!” when they see me in photos.

Using a Moisturizer Before Applying Makeup
alexa says
is it true that people with oily skin need not wear moisturizers under their makeup?
chic mik says
Lots of moisturizing products make me break out or itch. Thank GOD I found the Citrus Clear Control Moisturizer because I can use it liberally and my face feels instantly fresh! There is no waiting necessary. You can instantly apply your makeup after and it is 0% oily.
I typically can not sleep in other moisturizers without waking up with little white heads (gross) and I can apply Citrus Clear morning and night after i wash my face. Even my toddler uses it in the winter on his little cheeks.
