Pat says
I love mangoes and oranges in my fruit salad!
Laurinha says
Hi Karen, hv a great weekend!
Michelle says
If I could live anywhere, it would be somewhere with less humidity than the dirrty south. And then it wouldn’t matter the foundation type, because they all just melt off my face for 9 months out of the year anyway.
A says
Paris, Rome, Londom France. Europe and sleek, tailored pants.
Lyndsay says
I love NARS Barbarella for my nude lipstick. It has a teeny bit of pink that makes it look like my lips, but better 😉
Cheree says
My go-to nude gloss is Revealing by MAC. Currently looking for a replacement.
Maria J. says
My Go-To Nude Lipstick has to Fairest Nude By L’Oreal it compliments my skin tone and is perfect any time of the day, month or year.
MJ says
I just picked up Lovelight in the new UD lipstick collection. I was a little worried that it would be too pale/not pigmented enough. However, I’m finding that I absolutely love it as a MLBB shade with some sparkle. X3
Jennifer Pham says
Just rediscovered how amazing Wet N Wild Megalast nail polishes are!
lora says
I’m thinking about making this lobster salad Ina is maing on tv…looks so good!
Agata says
Happy Caturday! I highlight and contour my face every time I put on make up but I learnt how to contour only a few months ago. I like liquid foundation the most, I think it’s easy to apply, a lot of different finishes to chose from!
Debbie says
I’m excited to try the Hourglass Nude Lip Stylos!
Dionne says
My favorite pajamas is just a plain old t-shirt
blkrox says
Happy Saturday Karen!! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
GB says
The only nude lipstick I own is L’Oreal Colour Caresse in Sheer Linen — it doesn’t wash me out, even though I’m super pale.
Emily says
Right now I have at least 4 mascara still in packages.. untried.. I am dedicating this weekend to playing catch-up with mascara reviews!
Meagan Pugliese says
My favourite foundation formula is liquid, I love the flawless coverage of liquid and the fact that it doesn’t go under any skin imperfections that I may have.
Julia says
Hi Karen, I love watermelon in my fruit salads, prefer liquid foundations, and if I could live anywhere right now, it would be London!
Ellen says
Still looking for that perfect nude. As for fruit salad – all berries all the time!
Jenn says
I have a belly ache =(
Ivy says
I highlight and contour each time I put on makeup because I’m obsessive compulsive. I don’t mind. 😀
Jessica says
I hardly ever highlight and contour. It can be just a bit too much for me on a daily basis.
dawn says
Tabs looks good in a tux!
Joni says
I love reading your blog, you are so informative and descriptive!
Brandi says
My go to nude lipstick is Hug Me by Mac. Its perfect because I can where that color with no other make up on literally-and look refreshed. I have a dark lip line and Hug me evens my lip color out, while adding a nice sheen and natural look. I love Freshbrew by Mac as well it gives the same desired look-slightly more tinted though.
Alix says
I love watermelon in my fruit salad, liquid foundation, and I’d move to New Hampshire in a heartbeat!
melissa says
Lipstick is something that I’m just starting to get into now, in my late 20s. But I love every color you wear!
Suzy H says
I love berries, cantalope and oranges in my fruit salad!
Christine W says
Love your blog! Love Marc Jacobs Eyeliners! Win! Win!
Susan T. says
My favorite pajamas have penguins on them. Don’t judge!
Irene says
I ALWAYS highlight my face, but i never contour; my face is completely cheekbones-less, so contouring appears like dark patches on my skin.
Anneri says
Oh, don’t get me started on nude lipsticks! I’m ultra pale with really pigmented lips, and this combo makes nearly every nude corpselike on me.
Last weekend I finally found one I actually like on me – Nars Biscayne Park. Bonus – I’ve been there for a holiday and it was amazing!
Have a great weekend, Karen!
Alba says
If I could move anywhere, I’d move to South Carolina; I love the beaches!
Frankie says
Even though my ultimate favorite nude lip on me is Tom Fords Pink DUsk, I still can’t wait to see what the new Hourglass nude lip stylos have in store. LOVE a nude lip!
Aditi says
I love Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie – it’s a wonderful MLBB shade for me, and I find myself reaching for it often. On a side note, I hope this will be my lucky time! Happy weekend Karen!
Jennifer Rivera says
I would love to live in Hawaii. It looks like paradise over there.
Petunia says
I need some Marc Jacobs Beauty in my life.
I think I will buy some to hold onto when I go see The Conjuring.
One of those brushes could get me through anything.
Vanessa C says
I just became a Sephora VIB!! And just in time for the 3x points extravaganza starting August 12th! I’ve got a list to tackle in store 😉
Miranda says
I need to discover the best natural concealer. I love my mineral fusion duo, but it’s no longer available in my area. What’s your fave creamy natural concealer?
Kelsey says
I love berries in my salad, and maybe through in a little mango and kiwi for good measure.
Whitney says
If I got this gift card I would buy the NARS tinted moisturizer that I’ve had my eyes on for months.
Katrina says
If I could live anywhere it would definitely be in Florida. Dreaming of it today actually!

I love the salads with Apple, pineapple, pomegranates, watermelon, grapes…

Khalilah says
Hey Karen. My favorite makeup formula is liquids for foundations- fast application!- and powder almost every thing else. :))) happy Saturday.
Margie says
I love strawberries in salads 🙂
Kiss & Make-up says
In! I actually eat a fruit salad virtually every evening, as an evening snack 🙂 I usually put in orange, pear and apple, and sometimes also nectarine, banana or something else.
Heidi says
I could go for a mango/orange/strawberry salad right about now.
Jessie says
Yay! A giveaway! I’ve had my eye on a few new things at Sephora 😉
Colleen says
Love all fruits…what’s killer is raw pineapple. Soothing to the digestion, and tastes fab!
True nude lippies wash me out (they look good with heavier eye makeup imo, which I don’t wear), but my MLBB shade is Paul & Joe Strawberry Jam.
Mayumi says
I would love to live in Tokyo *-*
Have a nice weekend !
MLV says
I need to get dolled up for my next concert 🙂

If i could travel anywhere i would go to Miami. Always wanted to go!!
anastasia k says

Roxanne says
I’d move to Sweden. I’m afraid if I visit, I’d want to stay anyway!
Lorraine says
don’t do nude lipsticks- washes me out, cuz I am Pale with a capital P. Love oil free liquid foundations bc I am breakout prone. Fave pjs are pink flannel with a teacup print that my sis gave me. she has a pair just like it, so I think of her whenever I wear them!
Icequeen81 says
I think I want to see the united states, and Italie, have never been in the USA>
Ankita@corallista says
I love pineapple in my salad! And mangoes too when they are in season.
Crystal says
I used to think that highlighters (and bronzers) were completely unnecessary until I picked up Porcelain Pink MSF earlier this year. Talk about life changing because now I have more highlighters than my face will ever use in its lifetime. Not that I even have a ton of makeup to begin with but really I don’t need the amount that I have. Of course that won’t stop me from collecting more 🙂
Brooke says
My favorite pajamas: in the winter, my Nick and Nora snowman pajamas, in the warm weather, a 4xl tshirt (I’m a small in just about everything) and a comfy pair of cotton Chevrolet logo shorts =P
Denise says
I always enjoy reading about the products you review, your observations and about Tabs!! Thx for the opportunity to enter.
Kirsten H. says
I hardly ever highlight and contour. I only do it when I wear BB cream or foundation which is rare… and only then it’s contouring my cheeks and highlighting my brow bones.
Thomas Murphy says
Thanks for the giveaway!
Cynthia says
Strawberries, blueberries and melon!
Heather says
I love wearing liquid foundation, as it is the most hydrating (which I need!!). Also, if I could love anywhere, I would move to Paris in a heartbeat!! 🙂
Lisa @ Lisa Living Well says
I would love to move to Germany, but Sweden also sounds quite nice because of the way they treat their citizens, especially women. Great education, beautiful people, healthy food, and women are more equally paid in the workplace (or so I hear).
stacy s says
Love fresh fruit this time of year, especially watermelon and pineapple. Texas peaches and melons. Would love to win a Sephora gift card.
Olivia K says
Pineapple is always the best in fruit salad!
Sue says
I’m trying to wear all my spring/summer nail polishes since summer is ending soon, lol. Switching my polish every 3 days is hard work!!
Liz says
I’m mostly a powder foundation girl for several reasons. First, my super-oily skin eats liquid and cream foundastions for lunch. Powders (at least the good ones) just stick around better. Second, I like a lighter coverage, and it’s pretty easy to adjust a powder through judicious use of buffing. Third, touch-ups are a snap with pressed powder. These days there are plenty of great formulas to choose from, too.
Angela says
Just started following you on Twitter. Love the love for the coral gloss!
meredith says
I like oranges and blueberries in my fruit salad.
Cristi says
Who’s that tabby? (Who’s that tabby?) Sexy tabby… (Who’s that tabby?)

Carolyn N. says
I love watermelon!!
Tara says
First weekend of Hatch chili roasting! Hot this weekend for the hub and mild next weekend for the kids.
MK says
Curious if you’ve gotten a look at the new Marc Jacobs Beauty collection yet? I really want to check out some of the products, but waiting on some reviews first 🙂
Kathleen C. says
I start school next Monday and I’m actually really excited! I love shopping for new school supplies!
diane redcay says
I’m couldn’t help myself I had to buy the new Too Faced pretty rebel palette and Im so glad I did I so love it
Yolanda C. says
I love MAC’s Blankety for nude lips! Thanks for having a giveaway!!
Noga says
Was at a pool party today, what a great way to stay hydrated in this heat 🙂
Jenny says
Hi Karen! Busy week ahead (isn’t it always?). I have my dry run for my thesis defense on Friday and boy am I nervous. You can bet I’ll be giving myself a Jack Donaghy-style pep speech while I do my makeup that morning. Wish me luck!
Lynn says
I want to move to Japan, love the culture and that way i can travel to other Asian countries more easily

Rachel P says
For my gift card entry comment, I’ll have to go with MAC Patisserie as my go-to nude lipstick! Very MLBB, with a little added sheen 🙂
Janet S says
Today I stopped by Sephora Inside JCP and it was not a pleasant experience. Isn’t it weird when you are more aware or knowledgeable about promotions and rewards than the employees? At this point, i think its either they just pretend not to know or are simply useless. Anyone else think these Sephora stores are just horrible? Karen, do you have any unpleasant shopping experiences?
Supriya says
I don’t contour my face as much but I love to highlight my face every time I put make up on 🙂
Nicole says
I actually rarely contour and highlight my face. I’d like to more but I just haven’t found the perfect contour powder to suit my skin tone yet.
Anna Wang says
My go to lip product these days has been the color whispers by maybelline.
Maegan Morin says
I like a lot of berries in my fruit salad. Like blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and saskatoons 😀
Ana says
I am in love with Tarte blushes never had to courage to splurge on until recently when Tate had the 30% off Friends and Family sale and I got 6 colors I love love them!!!!
Mariana says
I want to try some Armani makeup!

Jessie C. says
I like grapefruit and blueberries in salad
Ebru M says
It has been a gloomy and cool couple of days in NYC – I am not ready for fall yet!
Alma Juarez says
What do you ladies do to have soft feet? I know the question is a bit odd but I’m somewhat new to the cosmetics and skin care items. I began doing a bit of barefoot running (hippie running! 😉 ) encouraged by my hubby and my feet are getting a beating. What kinds of tools or products would help and how would I ago about using them. Thanks and have a wonderful day. 😉
Dany says
I just bought the burt’s bee tinted lip balm after reading your review on it. 🙂
Sabrina Nogueira says
I love matte foundations!!! I don’t need to set with powder and i use my highlighter right where i want it!!!

I love strawberries in fruit salad!
Lily Heng says

Meahlyn says
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Hope yours is grand =)
TinaBea says
Tabs is so handsome in his tie!
Amanda says
Blueberries. Blueberries with everything. Blueberries forever! BTW, your eyebrows are looking lovely 🙂
Belinda says
I prefer powder foundation because it is more TSA friendly!
jazmin says
My favorite pair of pajamas are these soft pink fleece ones that I got from my mother in law for Christmas.
Christina Y. says
Hello! You have an awesome and lovely blog and I totally love it! (: I’ve been into bronzers lately, but I find that many tend to make me look extra orange. So sad. ): I mean, I got a bronzer from Mac’s recent line and I love it! But I just really wanna find another to have that isn’t from a limited line. 😛 Just thought I’d share. Thank you and have a lovely weekend!
Makyla says
I always reach for liquid or cream foundations. My skin is extremely dry (except for some oil around the eyes), so powder formulas tend to look awful on me and accentuate every little dry patch. I went to a BareMinerals outlet and had my makeup done once, and to get the coverage I wanted, so much powder had to be packed on my face that I just looked like a cakey, ridiculous mess up close, which was rather unfortunate since I much prefer the ingredients in powder formulas. Thanks for offering this giveaway again, Karen! And I have to say, I LOVE your fashionably feline cover photo! Super adorable–I can’t help but look at it every time I stop by your page!
BeckBeck says
I’m well prepared to highlight and contour (I have multiple highlighters, bronzers, and one dedicated contour powder), but I can count on my hands how many times I’ve actually done either!
Jennifer Ryder says
I’d love to move back to Hawaii if I could. My old condo was back up for sale recently. Arizona would be nice, too.
sweeks1980 says
I found a great recipe for fruit salad that has oranges, strawberries, and mint in it. It is perfect for summer brunch 🙂

Eberjey pajamas. The bees knees.

Mac lipstick in naked proof.
Cristina says
Revlon lipstick in blush.
Maple says
My favorite nude lipstick is Nude Beach by Too Faced.
Gabi Marcus says
I am going on vacation for 2 weeks tomorrow. I am soooo excited!!
Maggie says
What’s your go-to nude lipstick? Korres Mango Butter Lipstick in Natural Rose
What’s your favorite foundation formula (liquid, stick, cream, powder) and why? Cream only bc of Revlon Whipped Creme Foundation (I have never tried any other cream formulations and would not have if not for the glowing reviews on this one). It’s the only foundation I’ve found that doesn’t do any of the big NO’s: oxidize/change color, irritate my skin, emphasize pores/flakes/lines or looks cakey. It has a semi-matte finish and lasts all day as well. I actually used to buy liquid foundation
If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you go? — you get the picture.
Karen, since we’re dreaming: I would totally move to the SF Bay Area–perhaps in the City itself if I could afford a townhouse with its own parking. I have friends and family there and I LOVE it. The crazy weather, the people, the food, the architecture, steep inclines/declines, etc. I’m allergic to a lot of of the Californian flora as well, and the ocean breezes kind of take care of that for me (and I’m sure some of the pollution does as well).
Katie says
My fruit salad just have strawberries!!! Then pineapple and melons.
Clemence says
Can’t believe this year is flying by so quickly!
Andrea Amy says
my favourite pj’s….I have these 2 pairs of capri light cotton pj pants that are so comfortable I wear them whenever we are home and not going anywhere, and I normally just wear a tank top with them. I’m a stay at home mom to 5 boys, so its all about comfort for me when we’re home lol
Celina C says
I love melons and pineapple in my fruit salad, makes it nice and sweet:)
Jessica says
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Ruth says
I love strawberries & bananas without anything else added except for some yoghurt!
Gladys C says
I love liquid foundation, i think is easier to work with. I love my makeup forever mat velvet 🙂
Step says
Strawberries in salads … strawberries in everything!
Keri says
I just bought MAC Freckletone and it’s a lovely nude, but super drying. It’s also my very first lipstick. (I’m more into balms and glosses.) I’m up for suggestions for a more hydrating nude for a fellow NC42!
mrsshukra says
Just a quiet weekend at home celebrating a milestone anniversary!
Cica says
My favorite foundation formula is liquid 🙂
Maria says
My favorite pjs is just a tank top and undies. Comfy and lazy.
Elena says
I like pineapple in fruit salad
herroyalbleakness says
I’ve never liked putting on toners except for two korean-brand ones called The First from Nature Republic and Dr Tony AC Control from TonyMoly.
Claudia Davis says
My fav pjs are the ones I have with sushi all over them. I bought them BEFORE they were popular on tv.
sienna says
i’m still searching for my perfect nude lipstick!
Lori P says
I love bananas, strawberries, apples and peaches in my fruit salad
Kayla says
Hey, Karen! I’m in the mood for a new blush… Any suggestions?
Mary H says
My fav nude is Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick in Nude Beige
Sherry says
My favorite pair of pajamas are from Victoria’s Secret. They’re thermals and they have aqua stripes on them. They’re the most comfortable things in the world and they fit like a glove!! On another note, I like melon type fruits in a fruit salad. I love watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew!! As far as moving somewhere else, California would be really great. I’m a an East Coast girl from Pennsylvania and I’ve always wanted to experience the West Coast. San Francisco would be great…my favorite singer, Chris Isaak lives there. Karen…I love Chris Isaak as much as you love Ryan Gosling!! LOL
Andrea says
My current go-to nude lipstick is BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lipstick in Be Free, but I suspect that may change once I receive my most recent Sephora order of Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks! I foresee Naked going into regular rotation soon!
Christina says
I love peaches, cantaloupes and pineapples in my fruit salads. There’s just something about those fruits. I really can’t take apples in salad, especially if they get a bit brown.
Right now, my go-to nude lip is a bit of Revlon’s ColorBurst lipstick in Peach, with LA Colors nude lipliner as underwear and a bit of Revlon ColorBurst lipgloss in Papaya to give me a hint more colour.
shannon s says
I really love coffee
Megan says
I don’t own any nude lipsticks.
Elizabeth says
Call me crazy, but I don’t like fruit! I never have. I love vegetables, though. I enjoy the occasional peach or grape, but not in salads.
Lesleyk says
Oh, I love nude lipsticks. Fave is Dior addict Extreme in Incognito, but Buxom Sydney is close, too. And if I want a slightly warmer nude, I love Nars Bilbao.
irene says
I love caramel ice cream!
ProperIntro says
My fave pair of pajamas are from costco! I don’t remember from what brand but its blue covered with stars and moons!
I don’t really have a nude lippie because I am afraid of finding the wrong color? I tend to go bold instead haha
Chelsea says
Gah! Looking for a way to cut down on time in the daily beauty routine. Decisions, decisions!
Kristin says
yay!
Tania G says
I love watermelon and strawberries with fruit salad.
Christine says
My favourite pajama bottoms are red cotton pants with black moose on them. So comfy! 🙂
Cecile A. says
I want pineapples, papaya, grapes and apples in my fruitti salad 🙂
Chelsea says
I tried on a couple of the Hourglass nude Stylos at Sephora today, but I just don’t look good in traditional nude lips. My lips are pretty pigmented, and my skin leans a bit ruddy, and the nude just emphasizes the ruddiness and looks weird on my rosy lips. For me to pull off a nude, it has to be sheer, with a coraly or rosy tint to it (Revlon Pink Cognito, L’Oreal Colour Riche Balm in Caring Coral).
Roxannethif says
Thrift shopping for back to school is the best!
Grace says
I only eat fresh fruit! If it has been frozen, canned, or cooked ( as in peach pie) I won’t touch it! Crazy, I know!
Grace Gonzales says
I would use this to buy hair products
Rebecca Cash says
I like creamy foundations to help cover scars
Ashley says
I like fruit, but I rarely eat fruit salad, because so many people put melon in it. That or bananas! Bleh! Give me strawberries and pineapple any day :d
Melinda L. says
Currently in love with bb cream right now and excited to see if cc creams live up to the hype 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend1
Rosemarie says
Thanks as always for the giveaway! Have a wonderful weekend with Tabs!
Mireya says
If I could move anywhere, I’d probably move back to my hometown, Chicago. It’s a beautiful city and I miss it all the time.
Hagar says
I bought hourglass primer today, I love it
Wanda says
What I want to talk about is winning this gift card for my upcoming birthday on the 19th. I love Sephora and this would def help me purchase gifts for ME. LOL! Good Luck everyone!!
christine says
Hi Karen, have you tried jojoba oil as an eye makeup remover?
Shelly says
My go to nude-lip stick right now is the Bite Beauty Matte Lip Pencil in Madeira. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but my husband really liked it. So I think that makes it a winner.
terrib says
That picture of your cat boss…LOL. Still smiling. So funny.
Chelsea says
If I could move anywhere in the world, I would choose New Zealand. Every photograph I have seen showcases how beautiful it is over there. If only I didn’t have a fear of flying!
Karen K says
I’d move to Paris if I could. Why? The food, the architecture, the history, the food, the shopping, the food! But a more important subject…WHAT is this blue smoky eye you’ve been sporting lately? Tres chic! Also what is the fab white purse you are wearing at the top of the page? Love that too!
Vanessa says
My favorite shows are BBC Sherlock and Doctor Who.
Eujin says
Your latest post inspired me to get the hour glass primer because i found out i have the same skin type as you and i have been loving the way you said to apply it! I pair it with nars sheer glow and it is just a great finish! I love dewy skin that doesn’t look oily, a nice natural pink blush and lip and wood winked in the eyes! Love you to pieces
Melissa says
Love reading your blog, you have inspired me to try more MAC eyeshadows! Thanks for the unsung series!!
Camille says
Right now I’m loving e.l.f.’s HD powder. It has just barely a hint of shimmer in it, so you’re not left looking white and ghostly like some other powders! Plus, a major point for me is the price – you get a huge container for $7. I find it’s not worth the hefty price tag, for more expensive HD powders I’ve tried.
Becky says
I am addicted to makeup
Stephanie Ann says
i love strawberries, watermelon, grapes, and oranges in my salads
Christy says
Has anyone here checked out Wholesale Cosmetics List? If you have, please let me know what you think. It looks good, but not sure.
Cristen says
I don’t highlight that often because I have oily skin and don’t like alot of product on my cheeks. When I do I will usually just swipe the Hourglass ambient powder in ethereal on the tops of my cheekbones for a subtle glow. I’m not into super shimmery highlighters on my cheekbones or brow bone. When I give myself a fair amount of time to get ready in the morning I will contour, or try too. I’ve been collecting contour products recently hoping it will get me to do it on a daily basis as I love a good nude, sculpted cheek. Recently I’ve been trying Burberry earthy blush, Dolce and Gabbana caramel blush, Chanel Notorious, and one of Bobbi Brown’s new bronzer shades in Tawny Brown. Hope you’re having a good weekend!
Krystle says
I love kiwis in my fruit salad!
Catherine says
One place I’d like to be: London!
Stephanie G says
I’ve recently become a highlighter addict, so now I rarely leave the house without it on!
Peta says
So I love mango and raspberries in my fruit salad, now I feel like some fruit salad :/ I prefer liquid foundation over the other formulas since it’s so much easier to apply. Plus if I could live anywhere in the world right now out would definitely be New York!! I contanstly dream about working in the city, living in a loft apartment with my boyfriend, shopping and eating at the amazing restaurants. Not too mention the beautiful architecture in the city 🙂
Y. says
strawberries!!!
and i’d have to say clinique’s chubby stick in mega melon;)
Elyse says
This is a little bit sad, but I have been dreaming about fall lipsticks every night for a few weeks. The reds have me all excited. Sigh.
BooBooNinja says
Jet lag city.
But so happy to be reunited with my Baby Cat.
MelodyJ says
I have two favorite pajamas. One set is red and has scotties on it. The other is purple and has coffee cups on it.
Precious Pearl says
I love liquid foundations for me 🙂
Barbara says
My favorite winter pajamas are blue flannel with a coffee cup print on them. My favorite summer pajama is an oversized nightshirt with a picture of the seven dwarves on it that says Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it’s off to sleep we go.
Jenny says
I would love to live in London!
Ralitza says
My go to nude lipstick is Pure Zen by Mac. It has a hint of peachy color in it and it doesn’t wash me out.
Ashleigh says
I love kiwi in fruit salad!
Amy says
I’m in love with Shake Shack burgers.
Renee says
Thanks to you, I know whether or not to buy a product. I’m a nc42 and if something looks good on you, then it looks good on me. You’re my muse Karen, lol. You made all of those urban decay revolution lipsticks look good and I want to buy all of them, haha.
Madelynn says
My favorite MLBB lipstick is now discontinued Sonia Kashuk Sugarbush.
Amy says
Thanks for the giveaway!
Danielle Dufault says
My favourite nude lipstick is Clinique’s Chubbystick Intense in Curviest Caramel!
Aury says
I love powder foundation. It helps with my oily skin, and it’s more portable.
Kathleen says
My favorite nude lipstick has gotta be between MAC hue & shy girl! with those too ive got nude covered for any makeup looks i do 🙂
Karla says
My favorite foundations are always liquid foundations because I have dry skin year-round and they’re the only ones that don’t emphasize dry patches. 🙂
Regina says
I’m a liquid foundie girl! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
Denise says
I would love love love to go to Maui right now! Ahhh Paradise 🙂

I highlight every day but I just can’t get the hang of contouring. I would love to learn though as I think that it’s flattering. And there must be apples in a fruit salad.
Elena T says
I love cats, shopping, reading fashion and beauty blogs
doroffee/dorottya says
I like pineapple, forest fruits and citrus kind of fruits in my fruit salads most :). But I’d eat any fruit in my salad, except for melons. I don’t like those.
Tina says
i would move to New Zealand in a heartbeat if i could!
Inga says
If I could move anywhere in the world I would go to South America when just chill and travel to see all the best places out there.

M.May says
Well, instead of random fun blabber, I’ll tell you what’s on my mind right now.
It’s currently 12am in Melbourne and I’m feeling mentally tired. I’ve been neglecting my blog lately and I’m feel guilty for not updating my baby as often as I would like. (It’s also THAT time of the month, which I suppose, doesn’t help my mood.)
I’ve contemplated throwing in random filler posts but somehow, I can’t seem bring myself to do it. I don’t find my writing style particularly interesting, hence I try to make up with nice pictures. Oddly enough, I throughly enjoy reading filler post, especially with random facts about a beauty item, beauty secret or their life!
A friend once asked me what do I blog about. I answered ‘beauty’ but she pointed out that blogging about my last holiday etc doesn’t fall into the category ‘beauty’. For the longest time ever, I was determined to put in as little of my ‘life’ into my blog as possible, concentrating on becoming solely a beauty blog. I may abolish that ‘rule’ soon because after reading your posts, I realized I wouldn’t be interested in reading a blog with no ‘life’.
Ah I hope I didn’t bore you too much with this! Writing this really made me think about my blogging style.
Oh and of course, thanks for the giveaway!
XOXOXOX
M.May

I just picked up Hello Kitty PJ at Nordstrom rack. It’s been 30+ years since last time I owned anything with Hello Kitty on them! This one’s caught my eye, bright yellow kitty on grey jersey. So cute.

Eileen says
i bought my first mac concealer last month and it was mac prolongwear concealer. when i first got it i hated it and really debated returning it. but now that i’ve gotten better at controlling the pump dispenser i’m really glad it didn’t get returned. its really thin but packs a lot of concealing power. and its great for days when i don’t want to wear foundation and just need to cover problem areas =)
Joanne E. says
My favorite foundation formula is liquid; it’s versatile (good for dry and oily skin types), and easy to apply, blend and build coverage!
Daijana C. says
My favorite pj’s are my red hello kitty ones. I got them as a gift from my hubby and their so soft and great to relax in. Their also extremely cute. I absolutely love them.
Clare says
I have garden gnome printed pajamas. Word’s can’t describe how much I adore them:)
Kate says
If I could live anywhere in the world, I’d love to go back to Loveland, CO. I spent a handful of years there growing up and it was amazing. Four weather seasons and the amazing people (not to mention just a short drive from the mountains!). I think of it when I’m stressed, it’s my zen place. 🙂
Mandy Sark says
My favorite foundation format is a creme or mousse. I currently use a compact foundation because I put my make up on in the car while my husband drives to work and I need something that travels well and I can put on without much work. I’m currently using MAC Studio Fix in NW27 (it is the only format NW27 is offered, I think).
Brooke says
I recently took a vacation to the Dominican and developed a new love for Mangos and Passionfruit!

I love cantalope, watermelon, apples, bananas, grapes, and mango in a fruit salad 🙂
camille says
KAREN! hmmm…”i want to go to there.” – Liz Lemon. I figure you as a “30 Rock” viewer, for some reason. If I could live anywhere..I would live in Italy. Art all day! 🙂

Courtney says
For me, MAC’s Ample Pink is a beautiful ‘my-lips-but-better’ shade

I don’t wear a nude lip often because I love color! I am so excited for Fall so I can release the purple, rasberry, burgundy, plum, and brown lip colors I was meant to wear.
Kay says
I haven’t contoured my face before, but I do highlight my cheeks every once in awhile.
Rikki Poynter says
Messed up my eye makeup today noooo
Sandy says
I love powder foundation applied with a brush for my oily skin. My all time favourite nude lipstick is MAC’s Midimauve but I’m always on the hunt for a new lipstick.
Megan Roeder says
Go to nude lipstick: Bobbi Brown Sheer lip color in nude/beige shade. Works perfect with my skin tone! 🙂
auroragyps says
If I could move anywhere, I think it would be to somewhere in Canada that’s kind of on the border of the Northern & Southern halves. I don’t want to rough it that hard, but I do want nature with peace & quiet, but with civilization about a couple of hours away at most.
Gail says
Just resting today – tired from the week
Krista says
I just discovered Mac’s Patisserie and it’s my perfect nude lip.
Doreena says
Ahh been sick for a week with sore throat, flu, headaches etc I HATE being sick like this in the summer! Hopefully I’ll re-join the world healthy soon!
Jennifer says
I’m going back to college in a couple weeks and I would love this chance to buy some products for my back-to-school skincare and makeup makeover! I’ve been working with drugstore items for a while and this would be an amazing chance to invest in some nice products I can use all through the school year! Thanks for this opportunity!
Deanna says
I like liquid (revlon colorstay) and powder (mac studio fix) formulations of foundation. I alternate depending on my mood and what I have in store for the day. I like all fruits in fruit salad! I generally only contour my face when I wear the revlon foundation because it’s more full coverage so I have to add color back in to my face!
Amber says
If I could live anywhere, it would have to be London.
Latoya says
My favorite type of pj’s are nightgowns…. Thanks for the giveaway!
Erin M. says
I only highlight and contour when I’m practicing since I’m still trying to get the hang of doing it without looking like a clown.

Watermelon… yup, watermelon in my fruit salad is the number one must have! 🙂 Have a nice week!
Tonya N. says
I would so move to the Mediterranean coast!!
Lauren says
If I could live anywhere it would def be Hawaii. My boyfriends family is from there, so I have had time to spend extended periods of time on the islands (lucky me!) and I just adore it. So jealous Karen that you will be there soon! Have a blast 🙂
Patty says
My fave fruit is Guava
mamotts says

Ruchita says
If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be to Bora Bora!
Jacque says
Ugh! The new fall collections are killing me! I already have a list of things I want so a Sephora gift card would certainly come in handy 🙂 It doesn’t help that fall/autumn is my favorite season and I love everything about it-the deeper makeup colors, the smells, the food (already thinking of Thanksgiving), can’t wait!
Laura says
Watermelon is my favorite fruit–best to have anytime so definitely in every fruit salad!

I just ate my weight in Chinese food, and then ate cake, and then ate cookies. Blreghgrl. *goes to the kitchen for more cake*
Kylie says
Powder, definitely powder. Everything else would just slide off my oily face, even with primer. :'(
Jenn says
I could live in Thailand. Especially Phuket. Love it there!

Francesca says
I was born in England, but left when I was like two years old. I am now almost 35 and have not even gone back to just visit. That is so sad. I kind of feel like I would really love to move back there(permenately). I’m a big fan of Illamasqua(cosmetics), and my dream is to work for them, there in the UK, someday(soon)! 🙂
LizR says
Fave pajama just t-shirt and short. I really suck in contouring LOL. I like having watermelon in my fruit salad..fave foundation is fluid coz easy to work on & can cover everything..Would really love to move to Europe if I could..sigh (dreaming)

I would totally buy the new nars palette that’s coming out Sept 1.

I am an 18 year old girl who lives in a rural area with two Dobermans named Kayla and Micheal, 10 cats (Tuxedo, Celebration, Girlfriend, Matilda, Leonardo, Valentine, Bartholomew, Lil’ Pablo, and Lil’ Richard Parker!) and 9 chickens! Without them, I feel like my life would be incomplete. It’s so heartwarming to see the relationship between you and Tabs.
Angela S. says
I would love to be living in London!
And boy, would I love this gift card too 🙂
Denise says
I love L’Oreal’s Fairest Nude, but I have very pigmented lips, so I always have to blank out my own lip color first with foundation or a lip primer.

Jo says
Bath, England 🙂

If I could live anywhere, I’d live in Kailua, HI. It’s so beautiful there!! I hope you have an amazing time in Kauai!
Rachel says
I’m so excited for Breaking Bad tonight!
Amanda says
I prefer liquid foundation! Powder tends to emphasize my dry patches and fine lines and whatnot. It’s not pretty.
Jamez says
This summer I have absolutely been LOVING melons in my fruit salad. Honeydew, canteloupe, and watermelon are all so yummy.
Lulle says
I don’t really contour, I have high cheekbones that already define my face pretty well I think. I do highlight whenever I want a touch of sexy glow!
KaylaP says
If I could move anywhere in the world…it would be to Sweden! Gosh hidden gem of some gorgeous men! ;D
Ruth says
I was organizing my make up collection today in the spare bathroom and it looked like Sephora went crazy in there!
Natasha P. says
My FAVE go-to nude lippy has been hard to find but after LOTS of searching, I’ve finally found it. That would be Fergie’s Wet ‘n Wild Bebot Love. It’s the perfect shade that I’ve been searching for everywhere, super cheap and has long-lasting power (for me, anyway). LOVE
Eve says
Love Tabs and his adventures 🙂 I’m a professional henna artist and am looking to get back into doing professional makeup as well. This would be such a help!
Thanks! 🙂
Sabrina says
I am officially a gladiator and have been hooked on the show Scandal, thanks to a marathon yesterday. I didn’t move for hours!!! Kerry Washington’s makeup and outfits are divine. Have a great week!

Well, I’m pregnant and on bed rest, so my new super soft , extra big pj bottoms my mil just got me are my favorites as of today. :). Thanks for the contest.
Noe says
Hope to win! So exciting! Thanks for doing these giveaways Karen 🙂
Alexa Guillen says
My go-to nude lipstick would be Dior’s Grege. It’s hydrating, and a nice, MLBB shade. When it comes to using foundation, I go for either liquid or cream. I find that powder doesn’t cover as well as I’d like and doesn’t look as natural. I’m rather partial to the great state of California, but I would love to visit New York, Oregon, and Washington. I’d love to travel all over the place, really.
Meg Yap says
I love peaches and apples in fruit salads. 🙂
I haven’t found my HG foundation yet but I really love the texture of Revlon Colorstay Whipped. ^^
Anastasia Colomeet says
Ooh your giveaways are the best!
The place I’d like to live to is totally the Fijis! I’d accept any condition if I could go swimming in that amazing sea! 😀
Kim A says
WHOO hoo! Love Sephora gift card give-a-ways! I love liquid foundation and am in need of some! This gift card would be a godsend right now! Anywho I hope you had a fabulous weekend Karen!
Jennifer says
My favorite foundation has always been liquid until very recently where my skin has taken a decidedly dry turn! I’ve been so used to having to use matte foundations to tamper down the oil, but now, I’ve been forced to switch to different, more moisturizing formulations. I just recently purchased MAC Mineralize compact cream foundation and I have to say, applied with a damp sponge, it is blowing my mind. I have so much control over the application and coverage, it is natural looking, and moisturizing. I think cream foundations just might be my new dry skin favorite. So many more to try yet though… I’ll be combing through your reviews Karen! I’ve got Nars and Laura Mercier on my radar next!
Mackenzie says
Going on trip to montreal tomorrow with girlfriend. Can’t wait for excuse to wear full makeup and patio bar hop!
Hanna says
I would love to move to Spain.
