Greetings and good morning! Happy caturday/post-Haloween! 🙂
So, I learned two valuable lessons last night…
First, I learned that tiaras should be worn much more often than once a year, and second, I learned that Jakey-poo can look like a total psycho, and I know this because I saw Nightcrawler last night, which I liked, but yeah, it’s intense and disturbing. Jake plays a lowlife Los Angeles petty criminal (with more than a few screws loose) who realizes that he has a penchant for driving muscle cars and filming violent news.
Seemed appropriate for Halloween…
When we got home, I needed to soothe my soul, so some Gilmore Girls.
In other news, no trick-or-treaters for me. 🙁 They may have stopped by while we were at the movie, but on the bright side, now I have a tub filled with candy.
I hope you did something fun last night. Did you stay in or go out?

So no trick or treaters here either. It was raining and really cold outside so me and hubby went to dinner but I doubt anyone stopped in the meantime so I also have a giant Costco bag filled with candy…
What are your weekend plans? I am working right now but later tonight it’s bachelorette party time!!
Ximena says
This Halloween, I was off of work & went along with my boyfriend’s idea of going ice skating in costume. I dressed up as Bailey, the King’s mascot which happens to be a lion & was SO fun to do the makeup and hair for, while he dressed up as an LA King’s hockey player. I had a blast & would do it all over again!
Kiss & Make-up says
Hope you had a fun Halloween, Karen! I was kind of disappointed by the serious lack of trick or treaters this year. Four. ONLY FOUR! 😐 On the bright side, we got to eat all the leftover Snickers bars ourselves, mwahahaha 🙂 And we did it while watching Tucker & Dale vs Evil.
Remi says
Oh man. The SO and I put glowy eyes and the fog machine in the bushes, got out the cat lasers, and proceeded to find out that kids and cats both chase laser dots.
We had a lot fewer trick-or-treaters than normal (our neighborhood is great for that stuff), so at the end of the night I was standing in the driveway shouting about how I wasn’t taking this candy back inside, so anyone left should come get it.
Then I got to put together a 3 ft velociraptor.
Susie says
The last time I wore false lashes was NEVER. I don’t think I’ll ever be competent enough to do that…

I love you so much Karen! You’re the reason I discovered Face and Body which changed my life (Overly dramatic, maybe). I fell into Hourglass Dim Light on my own, but I definitely peeped the post! Mac ProLongwear Concealer was all you too! Those are holy grail products for a flawless face. Now everyone at work asks me to do their makeup, and people on the street stare at me and ask me if I’m wearing makeup. Thank you guru!
Illy Junus says
I only wore false lashes one time. I still don’t know how to put it on.
Driana says

ElzaElza says
Macaroons!
Kristen says
No. I hate dr.pepper I think it tastes like medicine.
Gretchen says
Only one group of trick r treaters came to my apartment… My husband was in the shower, so it looked like I was just home alone in a cat costume, with my cat. I think the kids felt bad for me!

I took my kids out trick or treating last night, and I’m almost done my Christmas shopping. Just a couple things left to get.
Tweakweasel says
I haven’t made a huge effort with my Halloween costumes the past few years or done an easily recognizable one for a while either. This year…I did the Crow. 🙂 It was so much fun and really intriguing too. When I did the eyes, it just looked like a somewhat intense smokey eye, when I did the black lips, it just looked like stereotypical Goth. When I added in the lines through the eyes and at the corners of the mouth…that’s when the resemblance came through…and things got spooky. The makeup for that character is so clever because it’s such a little detail but it makes up so much of the eeriness about him. Anyway, hope everyone had fun this Halloween whatever you got up to and whatever getup you were in. 🙂
Krupa says
I stayed in, I wore a masquerade mask to work, that was enough. 🙂
Christina P says
We went trick or treating last night. It was fun!
Nisa says
I’d loveeee to learn how to sew 😀 and bake cakes properly (because I always wing it XD)

I watched YouTube videos on Halloween!

Angel says
It’s my birthday! Woohoo! Stayed in last night, rained for the first time in a year!

kriti says
Dear Karen
This is going to be my first post on your blog.
I absolutely love love love your feed that comes to my mail.
I love looking at your pictures.But there is something that I know for sure 🙂 Even if I apply all that makeup,I still would not look half as good as you do.
Well I am based in south of France right now due to hubby’s project and I am trying to grasp the language as much and as fast as I can. Language can be a big barrier in this part of the world. So whenever I need to go to shopping (read beauty shopping), I am struck as my french as of now is very limited. So, I know who to consult first.Its your blog and your reviews 🙂 I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the great work that you do.You have been my secret shopping pal all this while.
As for halloween,its still not celebrated in a big way here.
So nothing much for me but we did do pumpkin carving with my 5 yr old and dress him up as a spiderman. He loves being a spiderman 🙂
Big hugs coming your way from France 🙂
Karen says
Hi kriti!
I just wanted to say thank you (merci!) for your nice comment. I’m happy to be your virtual shopping pal, and I’m glad you like visiting the blog. 🙂 You’re very lucky to be spending time in such a beautiful country. I hope you get to practice your French, and I look forward to chatting with you more in the comments.
mary says
Love the Smashbox on the rocks eyeshadow, very tempted to look for it at Sephora this season. As always, you look gorgeous!
Bhevarri says
I havent started Xmas shopping yet, but I have started brainstorming 😛
nat ogu says
no trick or treating this year plus candy was entirely too expensive
Jana Ricketts says
I didn’t get to do anything for Halloween since our husky puppy was in the animal hospital and racked up a big bill! So now we are broke till next pay day haha Hope everyone else has a good weekend!
Maria says
Now that Halloween is over, it’s full swing into the holidays. Hope I find time to enjoy the season and not stress out!
Lahini Wijesinghe says
It rained on Halloween so we didn’t even get any trick or treaters. It was a sad one. ):
sarah says
I bought a pair of false lashes for my wedding and wimped out on wearing them. So now they sit in my makeup bag, making me feel guilty.
Gabby says
I took my kids trick or treating and after 2 blocks they were ready to go home. Lol. I have a ton of candy and not one person came by:/
Daria says
I have never worn false lashes
Tara Woods says
I just bought individual lashes, half lashes and full lashes. The only problem is that I have no idea how to apply them.
Nhu says
So I was a flapper. Yes, originally, I know, but I had the dress, a cheap handband was only $10, and you know I can’t pass up the opportunity to do a faux bob, wear Mary-Janes, and do a glamorous smoky eye and vampy red lip. Basically, lots of fun was had. Possibly better than was had AT the college parties I went to, which were… classic college parties. That is, a hot mess.
Lisa says
My husband’s birthday is Halloween, so we spent the night celebrating that instead 🙂
Aurelie Red says

Susan T. says
I spent Halloween at home giving out candy to trick or treaters. We only get a dozen or so kids but I buy extra treats so we don’t run out! 😉
Goode says
Christmas? Christmas!? Nope, Christmas does not enter my radar until after Thanksgiving. Well, except for the occasional purchase of pine/evergreen scented candles 😉
Rita says
this was my favorite Halloween to date. It was my daughters first official Halloween. She’s three and it was her first time dressing up and going trick or treating. Watching her embrace this tradition was amazing. She caught on to the concept quickly haha and was sneaking candy throughout the evening. I loved it. She loved. A Great Halloween it was!
Michaela says
Hi Karen, I just love your take on Courtney Love’s Hole album. Classic! In response to one of your questions, I’d prefer macarons to bonbons just because I feel less guilty to eating more macarons because they aren’t as sweet as bonbons.

Dimana Dyakova says
Last time I wore falsies – I don’t wear falsies 😉 UD Perversion mascara does the falsies for me 😛
Bettie says
you know, I don’t know if I can honestly comment on the Dr. Pepper question – it has been so long it’s probably not fair. I remember not liking it, though. It does kind of taste a little like root beer, but not enough like it…… you know?
Jackie says
I loooove false lashes!
kuro says
This year was my first year handing out candy for Halloween! Omgsh I had class until 5pm and I couldn’t get home until 7:30pm from the horrendous traffic. I thought I had missed out on giving out candy! I was so disappointed when I got home and it was super rainy so I didn’t think people would show up until the first kid came and rang the doorbell! I was super excited haha later on I had quite a number of kids come to trick or treat! It was awesome and hilarious to interact with the kids.
Amoure says
For Halloween I went to church where we had a festival for our youth group ages 1-17. There was: food, games, and even a talent show. After 11pm it was a shut-in/slumber party for all that wanted to stay.

I was a cat

Last time I wore false lashes was yesterday for Halloween. I went as Cleopatra.

I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet.
Kassie says

Macha says
I wore false eyelashes today. I wanted to practice since my fiance and I are having engagement pictures taken soon. Today was a cold and rainy day. One of the pages feel off pretty soon after we went out. I then decided to take the other one off. Will have to continue practicing putting them on.
Monica says
The last time I wore false lashes, was today! I love them
Mardi says
I didn’t do anything for Halloween (I own a black cat, does that count?). Halloween isn’t really a thing here. I did go out for dinner with husband and inlaws to Jamie’s Italian (Jamie Oliver). YUMMMMM!!!! I want to go again. Right now. Even though it’s not even lunch time yet.
Rachel A. says
I stayed home and gave candy to the whole SEVEN! trick or treeters who stopped by….all while being dressed to the t as a female Han Solo…It was awesome 🙂

Macaroons for sure, anything coconut! No thank you to Dr. Pepper though. Your posts are so cute, always enjoy reading. Happy Weekend.
amy says
i looooove the cat mugs in the next post down. and your peonies:)
Krystal says
Well well weeeellll. I would have to say that it has been a loooooong time since I wore lashes. Mine aren’t too bad and I really don’t get along well with falsies. What I do want to try soon is individual lashes – I have heard they are much easier to work with.

Alexia says
For Halloween I put on some fancy makeup (MAC Ruby Woo with some neutral eyes) and the hubby and I handed out candy!

I was sad it was so warm in October. But now that it is cooler, I do not remember how to dress for this temperature or where all my warmer clothes are.

We do the same thing every year for Halloween: put on our Starfleet uniforms and hand out candy for the hundreds of neighborhood kids that come by. Live long and prosper!
Zahra says
I’d love to learn Italian 😀
Bonbons definitely and definitely a yes to Dr Pepper. To be honest, I only tried it recently and it was a moment of my brain saying “ahhhhh no wonder people talk about liking this stuff” haha!
Nope not started Christmas shopping yet – honestly I’m the kind of person who looks at all the sales and new stuff in stores early to get for myself and do actual Christmas shopping much much much later (as in maybe the week of Christmas… ) 😛
liz says
Gilmore Girls going up on Netflix was my favorite thing about October :3
Jennifer says

Took a friend out for his birthday on Halloween!

I would love to learn how to do a cut crease! I am 38 and my eyes look hooded a little until mid afternoon. I like a deep matte powder in there. just never have figured out the whole “cut crease” method and not sure if it would be too harsh. Im up for trying tho!
Leo Sigh says
I’ve being false eyelashes for ages, as they’re very popular with girls here in Thailand. Love them. Feel a bit naked without now 🙂

Last time you wore false lashes? — The last time I wore falsies was when I was a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding. I got my face done at a salon and the makeup artist put it on me and I felt faaaaancy. I have a few pairs at home that I play around with every once in a while when I have nowhere to go to on weekends. But I have never successfully applied them on my own and rocked them outside the house. Still practicing!
MelodyJ says
I would like to learn how how to sew. I want to make clothes and home decor items. Yes to Dr.Pepper. I like the real sugar version in the glass bottles. No HFCS or fake sweeteners for me.

Terri says
I handed out candy to trick or treaters and got takeout for Halloween – all in all, it was a nice, relaxing night.
BeckBeck says
I worked until 11pm on Halloween, so my husband was in charge of giving out candy – he said the number of kids was about the same as the last few years, which wasn’t a ton.
And then I brought a little black kitten home on 11/1!
Amy says
For Halloween I was setting up for a wedding and attending the rehearsal dinner.

There were some trick or treaters this year.. I’d say only about 20 though, not too many, still have a huge bowl of chocolate bars left over. I only stayed in for a couple of hours and then we went out to visit my brother and his girlfriend that night, it was a fun day!

Finally getting some nice cool/cold weather and then my heater breaks down on me!!
missvee says
Macarons, of course! 😀
Ellie P. says
On Halloween I went to school and work, then went grocery shopping. But, after that my housemate and I stopped in at a diner and listened to some Halloween themed blues music and had some milkshakes. After that we watched Hocus Pocus. Overall it was a pretty good day, but no trick or treaters for us either!
karen o says
yes to dr. pepper!
AmyBS says
DR PEPPER – Hell yeah! I always get it at the drive-in for some reason! Maybe the sugar and caffeine help me stay awake for the late movie

Cathy says
Macaroons and Dr. Pepper yes!
Rachel says
I love your blog, Karen! I check it regularly to get the scoop on new beauty releases – I spend waaaay more than I should on beauty items! I just love trying new things and being experimental with makeup. I know sign language (my best friend is an ASL certified translator – at 21 years old!), and she actually taught me how to sign Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” over a year ago – it was hilarious learning how to sign it! Anyways, it’s a great skill to learn with little ones – I have a two year old and I started signing with him when he was a little less than a year old so he could communicate with me before he could talk, and he hardly ever cried because he could clearly communicate his needs at such a young age. my husband was super supportive and learned how to sign too, which is awesome!
see says
I would love to learn an easy eye routine for hooded eyes.
kayla p says
I would like to learn how to speak French, the language of love <3
B says
we didn’t get many trick or treaters either!! I think this might have more to do with the fact that it was raining on halloween but still 🙁
Stephanie says
It has taken me a ridiculously amount of time to have figured out how to comment on your post! It just feels so good to be able to type about w/e I want! Although, I did have to scroll up to your suggestions b/c I all of the sudden felt put on the spot and had nothing to say. Which is weird. Anyways, I wore false lashes recently b/c I found a pair of the Natual Looking ELF lashes at a GAS STATION (it also had one of the 2 ELF brushes I like there, the blush brush, which I think would be awful for blush, but is great for setting undereye concealer with powder or great to have in your purse w/a good translucent for under your eyes or anywhere, so I have 1 at my vanity, 1 in my purse and 1 in my kit!), but anyways, these $1 ELF lashes are really nice! I put them on late at night when I got home, just to see if I liked them, and girl, they were the type of lashes that are just perfect! Try them in an unsung ELF Heroes along w/the Blush Brush and the Eyeshadow “C” Brush, which is all I use on my own browbone highlight. I don’t keep that one in my kit, b/c 1 ELF brush is pushing it before they think I’m a cheapskate MUA. 🙂 I am so glad I can now comment on your posts, Karen! I love your blog and I really don’t get into blogs, well, except yours. <3
Kelly D says
We went to a Halloween parade at my kid’s school and did a little Trick or Treating.
Lorraine says
Dr Pepper used to be a yes, until I found out prune juice was involved. I remember the old Dr. Pepper ads, they were fantastic! “I’m a Pepper he’s a pepper she’s a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too?” jingle is stuck in my head now!
irini says
I dressed up as a zombie school girl 🙂
Valerie says
Macarons!

Erin Ortiz says
So many good questions this week! Dr. Pepper…yes. Also yes to Christmas shopping. I normally don’t start this early but we’ve done really well this year. I really want to try a macaroon but I found out I was allergic to gluten before the macaron “craze” hit so I haven’t found a gluten/dairy/egg free version.
Karen Seipert says
We just moved back to the Bay Area from across the country and were excited for Halloween back home. We bought bags of yummy candy for the trick or treaters and waited but only had about seven or eight groups of kids. It really was a let down! Now I have to get rid of that candy so I don’t eat it.
Chantal says
I love cats and unicorns!
Kylie says
I went out to some bars Friday night and then to a party Saturday. I was Tinkerbell! Unfortunately, both my wings and my shoe-poms were a casualty of Friday night, never to be found again :-\

Hi Karen!
Lemme see:
Last time I wore false lashes: two weeks ago, at a good friend’s wedding! I’m not really good with false lashes (it’s like brain surgery! *cues bimbotic laughter* oops) so they’re usually reserved only for special occasions!
Macaroons or bon-bons: macaroons!
Hope u had a good weekend!
VR says
Wow the last time I wore false lashes was probably 5 years ago. I hate wearing them though since my eyes are so small that I have to trim the bands and then it just feels awkward. I might take it up again as I think the individual ones suit me a lot more.
Linda says
I looooove Dr. Pepper!

Kim says
This pic made me laugh extra hard because I occasionally call the boys “Cupcake Unicorn” and “Puffy Cloud Pegasus”. I love how you’ve combined them. 🙂
We were not home for Halloween and never get any trick or treaters so we bring bags of candy to our friend’s house (her street draws kids from the neighboring towns so it’s a mob scene).
Nightcrawler is getting good reviews. It’ll probably be a netflixer for me, though. 🙂
Rachel P. says
What did you do for Halloween? – I went to a few parties, most notably one in the middle of nowhere where there was a strobe light and a guy trying to teach me martial theory with a bunch of foam-and-duct tape weapons and armor. I politely declined the lesson and then went to drink some Fireball.

Trude E. says
Friday nights I’m usually worn out from work and was never good at costumes, so the family got together at my parents house for a pizza night and handing out candy. So many cute trick-or-treaters! We also put on Hocus Pocus and might have gotten into the stash a bit. 🙂

I tried false lashes once; it was for Halloween actually! It took me forever to get them on and it looked terrible! They had to pull them off in the middle of the evening because the edges kept lifting. I’ve never tried them since. haha
Wayne says
Cold, rain that eventually turned into snow, on Halloween means a lot of leftover candy! Ohhh, too bad. 🙂
