Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. I hope the sun shined on you today. I’ve had a very emotional Tuesday so far, and I’m kind of a mess right now, to be honest. I went to a funeral this morning for my friend Jen’s mom. She passed away a few days ago after a long illness, and so today we all said our goodbyes…
It was a nice ceremony but, you know…
Lilly says
I am so sorry Karen! Hugs!
Karen says
Thank you, Lilly.
Katherine G says
I am sorry for your loss 🙁 Hugs and thinking of you! The new Bobbi Brown sets look really nice but I’m not sure I could drop over 100 bucks on just one item (even if it comes with a lot of stuff).
Karen says
Hi Katherine,
Thank you, friend. I appreciate this note.
Tracy@Beauty Reflections says
So sorry about your loss. 🙁 I hope your friend Jen is ok. Losing your mom is so hard. I remember when I lost min-I felt really lost for a few months. Hugs to you both.
I saw this collection really quickly today, but didn’t have time to play. Can hardly wait to hear your thoughts on it!
Karen says
Hi Tracy,
Thank you for this comment — I’ll take those hugs. I think she’s doing the best she can considering the circumstances. Her mom had been sick for a really long time so they knew this was coming. Luckily she has a lot of friends and family around to help her and her brother out.
I’m sorry about your mom. I hope that you’ve been able to find ways to cope with the loss and to heal.

I think I’ll watch the Cosmetics Company Store for the belini palette. Because it looks awesome but I can’t spend that!
Karen says
If you see it there in a few months let me know!
Chelsea says
Love and hugs to you and Jen <3 My guy's mom passed four and a half years ago, and I miss her like crazy, it sucks.
Karen says
Hi Chelsea,
Thank you for this. I really appreciate it.

Oh i need this! I love collcting BB palettes!
Karen says
Do you have any favorite Bobbi palettes?
Nina says
Ahh Bobbi Brown – so soft and pretty these bits and bobs are!
Karen says
Yes! I hope work is going better for you this week and that you’re feeling better. 🙂
Elle says
I am truly sorry for your loss, sending waves of violet flames to you (and your friend). Hubby just lost his Grampy and gee it is certainly hard to be human sometimes as loss can feel so permanent. I am sure your friend was bolstered by your love and friendship, feel good about that if you can. Love the pictures and look forward to your reviews. Hug Tabs and give him extra gravy today. Thanks for all you are, and all you share. A ray of light you are.
Karen says
Hi Elle,
Thanks for this note. I feel so terrible for her and her brother; they lost their dad a few years ago very suddenly, too.
We’ve been friends since high school, and I can still remember hanging out at her house and feeling like I was part of their family.
Tabs will definitely get extra gravy and hugs (if he’ll let me).
Allyson says
Wow, that Bellini palette is wicked expensive. I don’t think I could ever drop $75 on that, especially because I really dislike glosses that come in palettes like that! Maybe it’s just me, but I hardly ever use them. AND they get all sticky with shadow fallout eventually anyways. The Black Caviar palette seems more reasonable, and I do love the packaging on everything.
I’m so sorry for your loss, and your friend’s loss as well, Karen! Really great of you to be there for your friend. I’m sure she really needed the support today. Hugs to you both <3
Allyson says
And by Black Caviar, I mean Rich Caviar, obviously… ugh. Haven’t had coffee yet.
Karen says
Thanks, Allyson. I’ll gladly take those hugs!
Vicki says
Sorry to hear about your friend Jen’s mum. It is hard as you feel sad yourself, but also you want to stay strong for Jen.
I love these Bobbi Brown goodies, they all look gorgeous. I don’t have much of her stuff, but the things I do have I’m pleased with.
Jennifer says
I’m so sorry about your friend’s mom. 🙁
Bobbi always does nice work…
Jennifer L says
I have such a thing for holiday palettes….
I’m late to this post, but I hope your week has gotten better 🙂
Liz says
I bought the Rich Caviar palette. It’s beautiful. I got a gift card and I used that.
I’m sorry for your loss, Karen.
Elle says
Karen, Oh, the fact that you were kindred with the family makes it somehow even more stunning of a loss. I hope you are feeling better, and so very loved and appreciated; if not yet then soon. Thank you as always. I was thinking maybe some people will come into your friends lives and fill the void on some level. I wish this for them. Take good care.
blkrox says
Oh Karen =( I’m sorry to hear about your loss. *big hugs*
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
I’m sorry for your loss Karen–and please pass on my condolences to your friend Jen as well. I can’t imagine what she must be going through…
