I won’t pretend that I didn’t try to fit Tabs into the case that comes with the new Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Oh La Luxe holiday kit ($79, available now at Sephora and also online), but you know…husky.
Here are those swatches I mentioned I’d do. Not really up to a whole lot today. So far I went for a run, cleaned up a little, started reading a new book (All These Things I’ve Done, by Gabrielle Zevin), and now I’m craving pumpkin gelato and trying to think of a way to sweet talk El Hub into getting me some.
Yup, action packed day. 🙂
How about you? What are you up to this afternoon?

Antonia at Swedish Love Affair says
Wow, Cable car and Kir Royale are really really nice<3
Karen says
So pretty, right?
Ann says
Ooh, I love all of it. I do have a birthday this month….
I channeled my inner domestic diva today. No time for make up fun.
Karen says
Happy birthday, Ann! 🙂
Phyrra says
Gossip is pretty!
Karen says
Yeah it is!
Heidi says
Wow, quite a swatching frenzy you were on there! Just got back from hitting up a 20% off sale at Big Lots and taking advantage of some Extra Bucks at CVS. All stocked up on necessities now.
Karen says
Nice! What did you get?
Heidi says
At Big Lots I mostly got stuff for the house (cleaning stuff, paper goods), but I also picked up a box of Christmas cards. Yes, I know it’s way early but they have a nice selection now and with the discount I had to go for it.
At CVS I picked up a couple of new items from Salma Hayek’s Nuance line. They are these three in one eye wands, with a cream shadow, a highlighting stick and a automatic pencil liner all in one wand. So handy! I’m trying out the pewter/silver one today. We’ll see how well it wears throughout the day.
Chris25 says
Kir Royale and Exotic Victoria are stunning!
Karen says
Super cute, yeah? Happy Monday!
Sonya says
Gah, Cable Car and Celestine are SO pretty!
Today I took advantage of the beautiful weather by playing a bit of tennis. Otherwise, not a very exciting Sunday (catching up on work..).
Karen says
Props, Sonya! I can’t play sports with fast moving projectiles to save my life. How long have you been playing?
Rachael says
They’re pretty but loose powders and me don’t work too well together.
I started to plan my wedding! We’re getting married in a little over a year from today!
Karen says
Rachael! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. 🙂
Christy says
Very nice! I love Holiday Collections 😀
Karen says
Me too! It’s an exciting time.
lindsey says
ooo! The liner is pretty, but bare escentuals is just not good makeup for traveling! I have so many eye shadows and extra foundations that sit in a box in my closet now because I travel so much for work. I may buy some of their new duos and quads though!
Karen says
Hi Lindsey,
Lucky you that you get to travel for work. What do you do?
KSlone says
That song is in my head now!
Karen says
LOL… we should all dance in a barn now with Kevin Bacon (because I’m all about the original movie).
Vonvon says
Exotic Victoria is so pretty!
I really want that bag only so much! 😉
Karen says
It’s super cute!
Kim says
I love the Killers’ song “All These Things That I’ve Done”. 🙂 And, btw, what do you think of Footloose being remade? Of course I liked it back in the day, but I didn’t think it was screaming for a 2nd go. Then again, I guess I felt that way about the Karate Kid, too.
Karen says
Hi, hi!
I’m really grumpy about it getting remade, to tell you the truth. It didn’t need to be re-done! Did you hear they are now also remaking Scarface? I’ve also heard rumors about Back to the Future getting remade. Sacrilege!
Nina says
i am not sure i want to commit to a bunch of loose eyeshadows but those swatches are tempting! i only have 3 BE/BM eyeshadows and while i love them, they dont get much use!
speaking of pumpkin gelato, i had some yesterday at a quaint little coffee shop while waiting for the hubs. yum!
Karen says
How was your gelato? Mine was really delish… I went a little crazy and got an extra scoop of caramel pecan too. Whoops! Now I need to run it off. 🙂
Did you end up working this weekend?
Nina says
so good! i actually mixed pumpkin spice and dulce de leche – yusss! (ps — great minds think alike!)
i did. both friday night and saturday very early morning. it wasnt that bad. 🙂 im just glad i was done by the time we were ready to leave the house (finally, we stayed in saturday because it was raining a lot!)….
Sophia says
Celestine and Exotic Victoria look amazing! xo
