My favorite game right now is Feed the Fat Cat that my husband made. It’s available on Google Store, if anyone wants to try 🙂
ginny says
The last time I went to Sephora I bought from their nail polish collection I just love the formula. I love how creamy and long lasting they are.
Brittany Carpenter says
I haven’t had the chance to shop at Sephora yet, but I’m dying to check it out!
Heather USA (Rafflecopter: Rosie Areola) says
🙁 Where did Summer go!!

Avery says
Just got back from vacation to see my favorite kitty!

My alarm clock in the morning sounds like a annoying beeping noise that drives me insane. And sometimes I wear a watch.
ashley says
Just got into bronzer this week.. Lovin’ it!
camille says
karen! all those adventures are fun, but it sure does feel good to be home long enough to re-organize your dwelling 🙂
i usually do my cleaning on monday. i don’t think i’ve really vacuumed the apt. while The Man is home. (he hates the sound.) feels so good to have a clean apt. and all the laundry put away 🙂
i picked up some red gloss-like lipsticks, courtesy of the featured bloggers. i tried the Stila, but felt it was too orange for me. i went to ulta, but sephora is on my to-do list, along with MAC. it has been too long. maybe when i go home, i’ll finally be able to visit these lovely places.
have a lovely weekend and thanks for the giveaway opportunity! 😀
Elle says
Thanks for the giveaway.

I love those blushes! Thanks for the giveaway!
Alison says
I visited Sephora on Tuesday and got so excited about unexpectedly getting a new foundation that I forgot the purpose of the trip, which was the new Urban Decay lipsticks!
Irene says
Yay!! I can’t choose only one game, so my favourite ones so far are Bioshock and Call of Duty. Having only a mac to play with is frustrating, I can’t wait to buy a console 😀 And my alarm clock sounds like hell’s bells. Literally, not AC/DC’s song.
Fingers crossed! 🙂
Alice says
Drive time is audio book time. Currently doing “The Medieval World” from The Great Courses. Interestingly, the next subject to be covered is Dress & Fashion.
Robin says
The last time I went to Sephora was about a month ago!
Alix says
I haven’t been to Sephora in a couple of weeks, but I’ve got a shopping list ready to go!
Aditi says
I hate generic alarm clock sounds, so I always set my alarm with a favorite song. Right now it’s set to Lindsey Stirling’s Game of Thrones. I feel quite royal waking up to it!
Aditi says
Also, I have to say: Tabs looks SO CUTE!
Stephanie says
I went to Sephora about two weeks ago. I think I visit Sephora at least once a month.

Ann N. says
The last time I went to Sephora was about a week ago! Got some Oscar Blandi dry shampoo 🙂
Janea says
I’ve got my alarm set to this awful song. It’s effective because as soon as I hear the first few lines I’m already reaching to turn it off.
Heidi says
I have my alarm set to wake me up to my favorite radio station. No buzzing or beeping for me first thing in the morning!
Tina says
Got to sleep in today, but I only slept about 6ish hours 🙁 so sad.
Colleen Boudreau says
My favorite game is Apple to Apples!
Roslyn Lutaaya says
For the last eight months I have been unemployed and reading this blog has been my main inspiration as I updated my makeup wish list. I now have a new job and now read the blog even more, as I pack Nutella sandwiches for my lunch and learn to do my makeup in my office before work starts! Love your blog Karen!
Laurinha says
Hi Karen, hv a great weekend!
Becky says
aloha
Katrina says
I wear an all-black glittery Swatch which I love… except that it ticks SO loudly! Always a mistake when I fall asleep wearing it, it sounds like I’m sleeping next to a gong.
Caitlin G-H says
Still working on that paper I commented about a few weeks ago. I hope it’s sunny and bright where everyone is 🙂
sienna says
i love audiobooks, esp when i’m doing mindless computer work!
Molly says
Sephora gift card is like Christmas any day! Love your blog. So fun and I love the kitty!
Anastacia says
my new obsession right now is the Conceal RX Concealer from Physicians Formula. It is a def full coverage so it may not be suitable for under the eyes but for blemishes or pesky pimples it is amazing! I would say it is better than my Hard Candy Glamoflage and that stuff is hard to beat for full coverage.
Aarthi says
Last time I went to Sephora was over a month ago!
Gina G says
The town I live in only has a tiny tiny JCpenny Sephora. *sad face* I always make sure to go to a Sephora while on vacation, I can spend hours there!
Jennifer Rivera says
Bday is coming up, I need this! Lol
Crystal says
Last time I was at a Sephora was a few weeks ago at Downtown Disney. I picked up OCC’s new stained gloss lip tar in Meta. But because of my excitement as I hardly ever get to go to one, I did something very stupid that I shall not explain! Haha!
Noga says
Karen, your latest post on the new Mac Sheen Supreme lipsticks is making my wallet tingle… I really shouldn’t get anywhere near a Mac after my last haul.
chari perez says
thanks Karen, every week the same dream, win!
Ivy says
My phone’s vibrations as my alarm clock is quite pleasant, but I still have a super loud alarm clock in my room. I haven’t used it for two years because it would give me a VERY scary start to my morning.
Bethany says
I’m gonna go for a double whammy here: I have NEVER
Bethany says
I’m gonna go for a double whammy here: I have NEVER been to a sephora before since we don’t have one where I live, but I do order online! And the one shortcut I have to make my eye makeup quicker is to work with a neutral base(Soft Ochre Paint pot:D ) and use bronzer to deepen my crease- makes for a softly defined eye!
Sophie a. says
I went to south beach today, and i made a stop at sephora to exchange something , ended up buying so much ! As i walked back i passed by MAC , got a fix+and a lipstick AND on my way back home i had to stop at ulta, last day for the 20%off. Today was a good day !
April Phillips says
I am currently jonesing bad for the Smashbox cream. I’m hoping it doesnt break out my face! I’m a Psych. Major so I have a full load on my hands with course work and kids so sometimes I get breakouts bc of stress. I think the CC cream will come in handy for after treating blemishes.
April Phillips says
Sorry I fixed my email address it was wrong in my last comment!
Bhevarri says
Going shoe shopping today.. wish me luck!
Margie says
I wear either my chocolate Fossil watch or black D&G every day!

Its a pleasant way to wake up.
Katrina says
In love with my UD revolution lipstick!!!
Lisa P. says
I wake up to NPR every morning. Well and my other alarm sound are the meows of our cat, who usually wakes us up a good half hour before our alarms go off.
Adriana says
Last time I was at sephora I picked up the Stila Smudge Stick in cobalt. Holy pigmentation!
Those liners are amazing and they really are waterproof.
Plus cobalt is a super trendy color for fall!
Toby says
Thanks for the giveaway!
Carolina says

LANEY says
I wear a Nixon watch every day!
Mary H says
I have thin lips, and the best and quickest way I’ve found to make them look fuller is to highlight my cupid’s bow with an ivory eye liner – Works like a charm every time without making it too obvious!
hira says
Have you seen the Channel watches!!? ultimate beauty!! i dont own one but i do have Guess and MK

Last time I went to Sephora was almost 2 months ago…Needed to save for my new place.
Jenny says
Last time I was at Sephora was in Portland, OR. I was buying yellow and black eye makeup so I could do a Hufflepuff themed look for Leakycon, the Harry Potter convention I was at.
Helena says
For quick eye make up, I dip my finger in a base shade complementary to the main shade I want to use (taupe, nude, pale pink, cream or champagne) and quickly swipe it over my lids and slightly out towards the outer end of my eyebrow, then I take my main colour and blend it into the outer corner. With a slick of suitable eyeliner and a couple of coats of a decent mascara, I can have a nice done eye in just over a minute or so.
Katie says
Last time I was in Sephora I wanted to max out all my credit cards…. But walked out sad and empty handed.
Sarah W says
I really need to find acute, fashionable watch…I just don’t like how they look!
Rachel says
I just went to Sephora today–hurrah mascara!
Camille says
Last time I was at Sephora I got Nars Schiap lipstick 🙂

I never listen to audiobooks because I don’t like people reading to me. My mom thinks this is why I taught myself to read at the age of 4. 🙂
Joanna says
Wishing you a fabulous weekend!
Ashley says
I’ve always been so curious about what you do with all of your makeup! Especially the ones you feel meh about. Do you just toss em? Give to friends? Use them all? Or just hoard in case of zombies? I hope you have a great weekend Karen! Thank you for doing these giveaways every week 🙂
Elizabeth says
I went to Sephora last week and bought the “Medium Shopping Bag Makeup Palette”.. BEST THING EVER!!!! Seriously, everyone should have this in their makeup collection !

I finally worked on my tan today & got in some much needed pool time 🙂 ahhh relaxation
Caroline says
i love sephora
Ivonne L says
Karen I absolutely adore your blog! I’ve been secretly reading for a while now and I enjoy reading your reviews and antics. Your whimsical style of writing is very different from most beauty bloggers, along with your co-bloggers! (Not sure if that’s the name..)
I wish I had a cat! But I adore my little Yorkie too 🙂 Perhaps someday I can have my own Tabs who’s willing to model for me.
Deborah says
The Harp sound on my iPhone is usually my wakeup sound. 🙂
Emme says
I’ve been drooling over Buxom Full-Bodied lipstick! Aaaah!!
Chloe N says
I don’t actually wear a watch but I just bought a cute one in VeryJane so I might start!

So ready for the fall/winter brunette look I have ahead of me. I have been a blonde for so long, I am ready to change the makeup style also!!! Life as a lady!!
Stephanie says
Thanks for the giveaway
Melissa says
Marc Jacobs Cosmetics-I’m coming for you if I win this giveaway!

Vicki says
You and your blog are fabulous! I’m currently obsessed with collecting the 24/7 Urban Decay pencils, just ordered three more😊

The last time I was at Sephora was in May when I was on vacation in Florida. I don’t have any stores near me so I really only get to go once a year, but I’m great at online ordering:)
Grace D. says
I am in love with the jouer bronzer in suntan, and the clinique gloss balm pencil in apricot 🙂

I haven’t stepped into a Sephora in FOREVER. That needs to change! 🙂

Hmmm, let’s see… About a week ago was my latest trip to Sephora and I picked up the Nars pro prime eyelid primer and a 1oz bottle of Urban Decay All Nighter, just to give it a shot.
Kathleen C. says
I made an online order at Sephora and got two HG products for me: Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray and a Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color in Amethyst! I can’t live without those two!
Gisele says
I love Sephora. But brazilian taxes suck, marking every single item so expensive…. 🙁
mini says
Just purchased Elizabeth Arden mango cream lippie!
Megan says
I listen to audiobooks in the wintertime!
Gayathri says
I’ve really been into tinted lip conditioners/lip balms lately (Maybelline Color Whisperers, MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks) ! They add a nice hint of color, but are also moisturizing, perfect for summer! I think I might actually carry this into the fall too!
Justene says
I have my alarm clock set to my Ipod.
Nurrakhma E. A. says
I like sephora, my last purchase was a month ago, I bought philosophy lip gloss. I love that it contains mint and it feels smooth on my lips 🙂
liz b says
yay I love your give a ways! have a wonderful weekend 🙂
joyce says
tabs looks so dashing in that suit
Hollie H says
I love audiobooks! They are the perfect accompaniment when I am working on the computer. Have fun organizing your blush…I imagine that is quite the job. Scratch Tabs behind the ears for me.
Nikita says
I was just at Sephora a few days ago…Thursday, actually. I’m there so often 🙂
Irene says
Preparing to do some cleaning as well! 🙁
maura says
I live in the netherlands and recently they closed ALL sephora’s here because apparently we don’t deserve their heavenly goodies. There used to be one about an hour away from me so one day I went to that city and I saved up a lot and I was about to treat myself but apparently it closed and I was so sad 🙁
courtney says
I went to Sephora on the 4th of July and just placed an order last night on the website.

I’ve never been to Sephora! For now all I can do is bug my friends to bye me stuff when they go to the US.
Valerie says

Shannon (@DESUnion) says
I just finished making my yummy pop tarts that my kids have requested 2 weeks in a row! I think my tweaking has finally made them internet worthy.
Robin says
My favorite game right now is Agricola– wonderfully complicated in ways only a Euro game can be. Super fun and takes forever! 🙂
Melissa says
Today totally feels like a lazy day for me. Although I did go to little Tokyo (los angeles) in the morning for a quick trip to the book store.
Karla says
Last time I went to Sephora was over 3 months ago. 🙁 But I do shop on their website a lot!
Camille L says
I can’t go out without watch..it makes me go nuts without knowing the time!
sweeks1980 says
I have to wear a watch when I’m teaching. That way, I don’t have to have my phone out and I can surreptitiously check the time no matter where I am in the classroom.
TrippyPixie says
I never used to wear anything on my wrists, but when I went to Germany a few years ago, I had to wear a watch so I would know what time it was. Now I always have to wear a (digital) watch! I hate wearing anything else on my wrists or hands, though.
kim says
last time i went to sephora i finally picked up the Naked palette. I know im the last one to that party..
Portia Powell says
The last time I was in Sephora I bought Michael More leg shine, Too Faced Primed Poreless & Smashbox Camera Ready BB cream. If I could put my bed in Sephora I would be a happy girl. 🙂

I bought one of the new UD lipsticks and I am OBSESSED. I would totally use the Sephora gift card to get more.
mrsshukra says
Another hot day in Honolulu!
T says
I found out my work is about a mile away from a Sephora. I went twice for this past week during my lunch hour. Such shame! But I did get the Ariel palette. It’s so gorgeous! Also, I can’t stop gushing about Too Faced Primed and Poreless powders. Both pressed and loose. Seriously fabulous at priming (and for mid-day touch-ups).
Lorraine says
I am due for a visit to Sephora to see the Deborah Lippmann exclusive polishes! Benefit creaseless cream eyeshadows are swipe and go easy + fast. I rely on my faves when I am in a rush. Birthday suit Flatter Me and No pressure.

I just went to Sephora and bought all four of the recent NARS LE blushes – Boys Don’t Cry, Rotonde, Soulshine, Realm of the Senses…HOLY CRAP that is a lot of blush!!!

Katie says
Sometimes, lounging around and organizing your makeup is the only bliss you need, haha!
I’m on Day 2 of post-wisdom teeth removal surgery. My gums hurt like a mofo, and I resemble the Nutty Professor, but it’ll be over with in a few days!
Celina C says
I’ve been wearing the same watch for almost 6 years and I desperately want a new one. Not that there’s anything wrong with the one I have, I just want a different one:P

I’m pretty sure Monica was leaving her lipstick on Clinton the last time I bought blush. Help me!
Bons says
I went to Sephora just last weekend!
Celine says
Im addicted to sugar.
Linda says
I’ve tried listening to audiobooks because I think it would be great to entertain myself when I’m doing things that don’t require thinking (cleaning, knitting), but I always stop paying attention and I have to rewind, which sort of takes away from the time-saving aspect of it, so now I just stick to reading the books myself.
Ileanna says
The last time I went to Sephora was today and yesterday!
Em says
I’m definitely on a no-buy from now until 2014… but… MAKEUP (sigh)
Jennifer says
Every time I go into Sephora, I feel like I just get sucked in and stay for hours! I absolutely love audiobooks, though I’ve really only listened to the Harry Potter ones.

I am apartment hunting currently and it is so hectic these days…. Added more to my dark circles. I want to get the clarins and origins under eye creams and stock up on some natural looking blushes. Hopefully the new nars blushes. Heyo to tabs :))

I was just at Sephora a couple of hours ago! Love that store…more than I should…

I’m not sure if getting a gift card would encourage me with cleaning up, but I’m excited!
Arianna says
I haven’t shopped at Sephora in forever! I am dying to try Illamasqua!
Ann says
I think the cell phone killed the watch
Julie Simpson says
I was actually in sephora a couple weeks ago when my phone rang and I’m studying to become a PI and a blaring ” This is the DEA everyone put your hands on your heads and get on your knees” sang out! It’s my ringtone and all these pretty die eyed women two of which had their hands up just stared at me while I visited the bottle of Gucci guilty I want do badly eek
Alexis says
The last time I went to sephora was just a few weeks ago. I can’t seem to control myself for much longer than that. I’m already putting together my shopping list on their website to get ready for my next trip! 🙂

I don’t go to Sephora enough!

Sabrina says
I finally found a true 5 star product (besides my absolute HG Advanced Night Repair by Estee Lauder) in Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. I seriously want a gallon of it sitting next to my nightstand!
Efrain says
I’ve been wearing a watch everyday since I was like 10 years and now I feel uncomfortable when I forget to wear one for the day. I like them to be loose because I tend to play with them in my wrist.
MC says
I haven’t been to Sephora since May, when I lost my job. 🙁 And I’ve lost my watch. I took it with me when I moved to Europe, meaning to get the dead battery replaced, but then I kept putting it off because of language barrier issues and now that I’ve moved back to the US I can’t find it.
Noelle says
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is on my current Sephora wish list. Perfect scent for summer!
Katherine says
I haven’t been to Sephora in a few months… I need to get my fix soon.
Ruth says
I was a Sephora about a week ago to return the Dior BB creme; it just didn’t do anything for me. So it was exchanged for Hourglass’ Raven and a couple of sale OPI polishes.
Whitney says
I occasionally listen to audiobooks but as a visual learner I find them very hard to pay attention to. There is just nothing quite like a paperback book in your hands.
Divya Asha says
I wear watches. I love to wear watches which has lots of designs & decorations in them. Till now I got 5 watches as gifts.
Chelsea says
I need to replace the battery in my watch… it’s a Rose Gold Michael Kors watch.

I want to use this gift card on an hourglass ambient lighting powder!

The last time I went to Sephora I had my 5 year old son with me, directing which pretty colors I should swatch:) I almost never got out of there! Love those Buxom blushes. I have Shang-gri-la.-la.
Rina says
I’m jealous of your buxom blush collection. Love those :). Bought Shang-gra-la-la at my last Sehora trip actually.
Step says
My phone alarm options are all either beeps or nature sounds, so mine is like some harp and birds combination. It is pretty soothing.
auroragyps says
I’ve been listening to a lot of audio books lately. My favorites are ones written and read by Neil Gaiman (although his Play for Two Voices, mainly read by Bebe Neuwirth from Fraiser & actor Brian Dennehy, was really good too) and The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, all but one read by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and one read by John Glover (Lex Luther’s dad, Lionel Luther, from Smallville).
Ann-Marie Robinson says
Thanks for this amazing giveaway!! I am so excited for Fall Fashion & makeup and this would go a LONG way to helping me with my current lemmings:)) I love your blog and I am so excited to see all the new collections!!:))
xoxo

Mardi says
Last time I visited Sephora was the day before I left NYC to come home to Australia last year, so that would be, ooooh, 8 October 2012. Next visit will be the night I arrive in New York in October, so that will be 14 October 2013. Don’t you love Tripit?
Kay says
The last time I went to Sephora was over a month ago, but I will be going in the next couple of days so I can take my mom shopping for her birthday.
Roxanne says
Visited Sephora’s site recently. Purchased some Smashbox primer and Tweezerman tweezers. I love them both. So much.
Terri says
I can’t wait until fall for cooler weather; we’re in triple digits! I went to ULTA earlier this evening and played around in some Stila stuff and looked at the new Smashbox palettes; I like the Fade In. Regardless of temps, I hope everyone is having a good summer! 🙂
MJ says
I do most of my shopping for Sephora online since the selection at the Sephora inside jcpenney isn’t as large. The last time I was in one of Sephora’s normal stores was when I was still in the Bay Area. I love the one on Powell St. in SF. 🙂
Jennifer says
I swear I’m at Sephora every other week!
Samantha Lim says
I went to Sephora just last week. We have a love-hate relationship, me and that store. I love it for getting to get stuffs, but hate it for making me want to buy so much!
Jeanine says
I can never wear watches. I end up being super paranoid and walk with my wrist up, also I find most don’t really fit my small wrists well. Hmmm…. I end up going to Sephora way too much, almost once a week 😛
Jamez says
The last time I went to Sephora was a few weeks ago. I got the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and my birthday perk! 🙂
Katty says
I don’t wear a watch but I want to start. Just need to find the right now. Hopefully soon so I don’t keep look at my wrist like a crazy person when it’s empty.

One of these days I’ll actually win one of these, haha.
Melody says
My current favorite watch is a Timex with a silver face and a red band.

In our town there’s no Sephora store and I would love to shop online.

I’m always down for a little sephora shopping spree!
Kate Williamson says
Yeah, Sephora!
Kristi says

I was at Sephora just last week (and the week before that)!

I popped into Sephora next week! Had to exercise some self-control and not buy anything, but I love just going in and looking around!
Julie says
My alarm clock is my iphone, so whenever I am out in public and somebody has my alarm tone as their ring tone, my heart rate involuntarily starts to race. It’s so stressful!
Kristen says
My alarm – it’s soft music that gets increasingly louder. I’m hooked on the SleepCycle app. It measures my sleep quality and gently wakes me up when it detects I’m moving (i.e., not in a deep sleep). I love it! And I always wear a watch. I feel lost without one and can never seem to remember my phone has the time!
Kori says
I was at Sephora last weekend getting some of my beloved MUFE HD foundation to keep my skin looking pretty for my grad school graduation this week 🙂

Haha, love your comment suggestion questions Karen! The last time I went to Sephora was to get some Buxom lip products, actually! I’m just getting into the brand and now I want to try everything. Those blushes look incredible!
Bianca Rogoveanu says
I wear a watch occasionally, my only one is a Fossil wich is too elegant for day time, so i wear it just in the night. Kisses
Maria J. says
The Last Time I went to Sephora was actually on Tuesday, I didn’t buy anything which is a miracle, but I did do a lot of testing and swatching.
lelacarolina says

Maria says

GenesisCal says
Oh god, organizing my makeup is something I need to do too. It has been in my to do liat for a week now.
BeckBeck says
I was at the Mall of America yesterday and I did NOT visit Sephora!… because I had my husband with me and I promised him only ONE beauty store, and I picked the Sigma flagship instead. (Key opportunity to replace/back up my well-loved E35 and pick up a few new tools without paying shipping!)
Felis says
I don’t use an alarm clock! Never have! I just “set myself” to wake up by a certain time. If I have to be up by 8 I just think “Up by 8” as I’m going to sleep and then I wake up within 15 minutes of 8.
Jamie C. says
I wear a watch every time I have to work, but on a day to day basis I just use my phone as my watch.

Dee (and Maitai) says
I use my phone as my alarm so it usually plays the Star Trek TNG theme since it once was my ringtone.
Susan T. says
I haven’t been to an actual Sephora store in a really long time. I “window shop” on their website all the time and fill my shopping cart with tones of goodies but try to resist checking out!
Kirsten H. says
Well, I can’t remember the last time I went to Sephora, but I will be going tomorrow to get my birthday gift from them!
This morning… this morning my alarm clock was a dog snuffling at me because she was excited to be awake. Sigh.
Jacque says
My favorite game is cribbage. My husband and I used to play this a lot, but I’m such a terrible loser!

I was in sephora yesterday because I wanted to swatch some of the tarte Amazonian clay blushes (friends and family sale going on) and I wanted to check out which ones would look better on me, but while there I couldn’t help but wander over to the nars section to go drool over their blush luster
Tiffanie says
Organizing a blush drawer with coffee, stretchy pants, and a cat?! It really doesn’t get much better than that!

I love cleaning when it has to do with organizing!
I haven’t been to Sephora in a whole but their double your points event is soon and I think it’s about time I try the Hourglass primer & cave and buy the full sized Dior mascara primer!
Juliana Benavides says
I don’t use a watch, I don’t like it!!
Maria J says
I am so happy that Sephora has finally opened in Sweden, but I do wish I could shop them online as well since I got about 15 miles to the nearest store.
ElinLLB says
Want. Need.
Kiss & Make-up says
My alarm clock sounds like birds singing 🙂 I have a wake-up light that gradually becomes brighter, so it makes your body think it’s a natural sun rise. It’s supposed to help you wake up in a more relaxed, natural way. And it really works, because 9 our of 10 times I wake up before the birds actually start singing.
Lira says
Summer is almost over and I can’t wait until autumn. My favorite season.
Audrey says
My favourite game is Trivial Pursuit! It’s the only board game I’m good at, haha.

I need a new black liner – thinking about getting MAC blacktrack.
Tracey Rains says
I am a teacher just getting ready to start back to work and could really go for a cosmetics boost at the start of the year. Teaching is a bit like being on stage, ya know? And any excuse for some new eyeshadow, right? I just got hooked on NARS and browsed the colors here with Karen’s swatches and have my eye on way more than $50 worth!
blessedta says
I wear watches. Thanks for the draw!

I love playing computer games as well as games on facebook. One of my recent addiction is Candy Crush.

Last week I went to sephora and bought a lancome cils booster xl–its a mascara base. i’ve been loving it used under all of my mascaras. it makes my lashes look so much fuller, helps with lift and length. in short its now my new staple product. and did i mention that it doesn’t look clumpy?

Finally started drinking coffee again after almost a 2-month de-tox. I’ve missed you my friend.
Marina says
Recently I have been stepping out of my comfort zone with smokey eyes! But not just the ordinary black/grey smokey eye…. COLORED SMOKEY EYES! My favorite colors to use are plum, sapphire, and emerald (all metallic finish). I’ve found that using a matte warm brown above the crease really pulls the look together.

I love listening to audio books when I’m falling asleep.

katie says

Kiki says
Last time I went to Sephora, I went with my friend to get a makeover. I had previously boughten a bra from Aerie, and I accidentally left it there and I remembered halfway through our bus drive home. I asked the only available cashier if they had seen a black lacy bra (they happened to be male) and he said that he had. He had taken a peek at it when he had found it, and he said to me before handing it back ‘If it were a few sizes bigger, I would have kept it! Have a nice day!’. I love Sephora.
Mika Avila says
I have never been to Sephora but I’m just about to do my first Sephora pre-order to the Philippines and I’m so super excited x

I could always use a sephora giftcard (though I just placed an expensive order).

Sephora has been my saving grace! I had NO clue how much eyelid primer would mean to me!? TwoFaced primer has taken my beauty routine to the next level!!
Natasha P. says
The last time at Sephora… does online shopping count? hehe. I think I’ve taken to online shopping there because I’m so embarrassed about how often I’m in the store! I have to take a break from it before I show my face again. I am an ADDICT, literally. This giveaway is super generous! I can’t even tell you what I’d use it on, because there are about 50 million and 1 things I’ve been eyeing over there. Thanks for the opportunity!

I picked up a copy of The Little Prince and started reading it a few days ago for the first time. I found a quote from the book online that described my Uncle that passed away recently. Now I’m on the hunt to find an auto book version of it in French.
