Whenever I make it over to see my family in Hawaii, I try to get a shave ice, one of my favorite sweet treats.
Pronounced “shave ice”, it’s a souped up snow cone with finely shaved ice flavored with syrups like Liliko’i (a variety of passion fruit), guava, mango and tangerine. People will sometimes add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and/or sweet, chewy azuki beans to the bottom of the cone (trust me — it’s good).
My favorite place to get shave ice here on Oahu is Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore. I always get the same thing: a small Liliko’i with ice cream and beans at the bottom and condensed milk on top. YUM!
Sweet Hawaii-style shave ice reminds me of MAC’s Sugarsweet collection, and today’s giveaway features two of its tasty treats!
The prize
One lucky lady will win two items from MAC’s Sugarsweet collection (a $32 value):
- MAC Tricolour Lipglass in Tasty: a sheer raspberry pink
- MAC Eyeshadow in Dear Cupcake: a shimmery pinkish coral

Hey Karen!
I’m dog tired…worked all day by myself. No day off for me!:(
I am so beat!
Hi Karen! I hope you enjoyed your trip.
Well, right now I’m wearing a buttery yellow sweater with a little gray dragonfly on the upper left side. Got it this weekend on sale for $10, originally $25 at Old Navy!
Karen! Girl, your blog has changed me – it made me realize I’ve been living under a rock. I’ve spent the past couple of months spending hundreds of dollars updating my beauty collection since following your website a couple of months ago. Can you get your ladies to blog the different excuses they tell their hubbies to justify or explain the addiction? I’m running out of excuses myself!!! Help me save my marriage!!! J/K LOL
Hey Karen!!
Hope you had a great day!!
Today I went with my mother for the Memorial Day sales at the local shopping mall.
I saw the cutest Coach bag, but found out it cost $400, and had to get out of Nordstroms before I stole it by accident.
I stopped at the MAC store, my mom looked at me and rolled her eyes so I couldn’t even look at the products.
I visited a couple stores, got a bath robe, PJ pants and a terricloth slipper from bath and body works….. beautiful baby pink! I LOVEEE IT!
Oh and this is allll after a play rehersal at 10 in the morning… I was so tired but I made myself keep walking.
Have you ever been to Zara? That store is absolutely amazing.
Hey Karen,
I am kind of wondering what good is the Hills without Lauren in the last episodes. Anyways, that dazzleglass looks awesome! hope ur trip is going great =D
Godnight! I’m going to bed now!
I just bought some really cute Cole Haan patent leather flats for half price. Score!
My deodorant? lol! Well, it’s Dove nectarine and ginger, and it smells super-yummy.
Who knew that Sam’s Club had some killer oversized handbags that I can double as my “new” cost saving diaper bag.

I think I need to go shopping for clothes but makeup’s where the fun lies for me so I always seem to bypass the clothing for the makeup displays. Next time I have to convince myself to just buy sensible jeans and t-shirts.
yoyo what’s up?! happy memorial day!
Tough day with the kids (two of them were my nephews). Now I know why some animals eat their young, lol!
Oooh, good giveaway! You rock, Karen!
We miss you – come on home soon!
Happy Birthday Sally!
Definitely have to do my jogging routine this week at least or start back again next week!
P.S. Loving the giveaway Karen!!!
Deodorant’s secret =)
Happy Memorial Day!
i LOVE Ben & Jerrys Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream.. yummy!
These giveaways are a really nice idea.
Ooh, what to share, I gimped my ankle yesterday by crashing it into a bus, and today I’m walking with a limp. Hooray for klutziness!
I’ve had the shave ice at Mastsumoto’s, but my favorite comes from some place near Waikiki… ugh. What’s the name? It begins with a “W.” It’ll come to me…
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day today!
I would love to win Mac Products! I love your blog.

Becoming. Even. More. Makeup. Obsessed.
How scary!
Today I went to Mitsuwa in San Jose and finally was able to get the Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner I’ve been wanting for ages (they had a great ad campaign for it in Japan)! Have you tried it? I believe it’s supposed to be for dry hair.
Yesterday, my boyfriend left town to go back home (to Ireland) after working in California for over a year. I already miss him. :’(
I just polished off an entire large bag of Miss Vickie’s chips. I feel gross =[
All my favorite shows have ended so Monday night is pretty blah now.
I love chocolates!!
I want some MAC! I feel like a DESERVE it. Last monday I was laid off AGAIN for the second time in 6 months and then on thursday as I was on my way to pick up my daughter this jerk hit my car. AND i’m almost out of foundation, lol. Pick me!
I got engaged yesterday night!!! I am going to marry the love of my life!!!
Happy Birthday Sally! And thanks, Karen, for being such a conscientious blogger to keep us in reading material while you’ve been on vacation.
i love matsumoto shave ice!
i always get half lychee half strawberry, vanilla ice cream on the bottom and condensed milk on the top! woot woot!
too bad i live in vegas, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
I finally found a to hide my under eye circles under concealer, and make it stay put!
Love this blog, love giveaways. :]
I think I made it in right under the wire for the giveaway!
Despite being a makeup junkie, I’ve never tried MAC makeup but would love to!
Shaved ice sounds good. I get a water ice in cherry which is my favorite. Italian water ice is the best. Fresh lemon is traditional. I also love cherry.
Please enter me for the Mac giveaway. Thank you.

I’m on a self-improvement kick this summer.
Oh how I miss shave ice! I had my very first one in Maui last year. Definitely gotta have it with the ice cream and azuki beans. Likiko’i sounds scrumptious! I’ll try that when I return to the 808 in the (hopefully near) future.
Hi, Karen. Love your blog!
I had a great Memorial Day, despite my boyfriend yet AGAIN not having things together and procrastinating and being late. I look forward to hearing back from Sephora today about the interview I had on friday. Hopefully, I will have a job!
