Probably not a surprise, but Tabs is very protective of his meow time. Today he has several things lined up, including a long walk outside, a deep-tissue massage and an intense grooming session with his favorite brush.
He keeps encouraging me to follow his lead and take more time out for myself, so today I’m going to go for a nice, long run, and then to Sephora to play with some makeup.
Maybe paint my nails, too. 🙂
Whatever you’re up to today, I hope you have some time for yourself.
Have a great weekend, babe. Maybe we’ll bump into each other on Twitter or Facebook today.

My grandma bought me these hilarious/awesome leopard-print satin pajamas with black velour on the cuffs and the collar. I wore them one year with a burgundy smoking jacket to be Hugh Hefner for Halloween — those pjs are definitely my favorite lounging outfit!

Lori P says
Powder eyeshadow for me, cream creases like crazy on my oily lids. I even tried a primer and nope it didn’t work
Amy says
I randomly picked up the Elf 32 eye shadow palette since I’m tired of investing in shadows and then never using them. Plus I wasn’t ready to shell out 50 bucks for the Naked palette. The Elf one was such a deal and there’s so many options!
Ellen says
3 months ago, I would have for sure said powder eyeshadows, but I’ve been experimenting – Maybelline Barely Branded color tattoo and the new Dior fusion shadows are pretty amazing…
Nele says

I love cream eyeshadows! Color Tattoo by Maybelline – the best!
Icequeen81 says
well our two dogs can be called affectionate but they need to learn how to show it, our 9 weeks one is still nibbling while our 5 months one is to enthusiastic and her nails can be a pain when she start with her paws.
Worst job , working in a restaurant I had to be most of the time in the place where they washed the dishes, and old fashioned one.
Julie says
I’m currently lounging in my favorite outfit for around the house: an old crewneck sweatshirt and a pair of Jockey sweatpants!
Maria J. says
If I use a cream eyeshadow I have to use a good eye primer and then layer it over with a powder eyeshadow because just the eye primer and cream eyeshadow on it’s own I feel crease on me or transfer and make my eyes look weird.
Wendy Lange says
I like lounging in soft comfy pants and a t-shirt when at home.
Powder eyeshadow for me.
My least favourite jobs were waitressing at a family restaurant and a data entry job when in high school.

I like powder shadows but if cream shadows came in palettes like the Naked or something I’d probably like them just as much. It just costs so much to buy one color and I can’t seem to use it fast enough.
Mimi Kitten says
I have three piercings, two for my ears which are stretched and my medusa!
Maggie Morris says
Powder eye shadow for sure! And I actually don’t have a single piercing. My parents made me wait until I was 13 to get my ears pierced and after spending years begging them… I hated it. LOL

The worst job I had was one in my field and in a museum in the Bay Area actually, but I had a bully female boss and she made it my least favorite job ever.
angela says
I’ve never tried cream shadows, so powder for me!
Felis says
I have seven ear piercings, a tongue stud, and two other nonstandard decorations. I love them – had them for 15-20 years – and they’re all staying even when I’m old and gray.
It bugs me when people say they took their piercings out as a sign of “maturity”. I am sufficiently mature, thank you, and I have not felt the need to alter my aesthetics. Your choices may be different, but don’t judge mine. Grr. Rant over.
Caroline L says
12 piercings!
Laney says
Powder eyeshadows! I am just more comfortable blending and layering powders, and the couple of cream formulations I’ve tried tended to crease on my lids.

number of piercing: just two! but would love a nice cartilage piercing!

Cream or powder shadow? How about both… unless it’s the *perfect* color cream, I usually top it with powder to help set it.

christian says
I’m a huge fan of powder eyeshadows for the simple facts that they are so versatile. If I ever need that dramatically bold and rich pigmented color from a powder eye shadow, I could always add water.

Alice Beerland says

April says
Karen, thank you for your thoughtful post on the controversy surrounding the NARS+Guy Boudin collection. I am trying to get out of a violent relationship and I won’t spend my money on anything that remotely says this is ok. Keep up the good work. Your website is my refuge on a bad day.
Allison says
Sweatpants forever!

Candice says
Long-time lurker. My cat, Nicholas, likes to do his own thing, but everyday he makes sure to have one nap cuddling with me.
Sarà says
I washed my brushes this evening and I must say that higher quality brushes (like Mac, chanel or similar) not only are better at applying make-up but they also get cleaned better, it only take seconds to wash them and they rinse easily. You can totally see a difference between the brands!
Donna F. says
Thanks for reminding me about the makeup brushes! I’m long overdue!

I prefer cream eye shadows. I find them way more nourishing.

My cat Smokey is super affectionate. He follows us around from room to room, so he can be with us, all of the time. He also does this thing where he sniffs between my eyebrows, and then gives me a big lick. He also tries to groom me…he starts licking my hand. It sounds really strange, but it’s so cute!! Thanks for another giveaway!!

I have a new, 4 month old puppy, and not only is she the most affectionate thing ever, she screams bloody murder whenever I leave the room. Makes me feel very loved, but the neighbors are starting to hate me:)
Christina says
I really suck at drawing the most I can do is stick figure. those look good enough lol. I wish I could remember when I washed my brushes, but I’m so bad that I get behind with things and keep forgetting to.

Ahh, let’s see… makeup brushes. How I loathe to wash thee, but I did just do so last night. I don’t wear makeup everyday thankfully, or else I’d probably end up neglecting to do so as often as I should. They gotta make an easier way.

Melanie V says

MMM says
Went apple picking this weekend. Now I want an orchard. haha
lesleyk says
I prefer powder shadows because they’re easier for me to blend. I do love some cream shadows for just a quick wash of color.
BB says
I love cream shadow but tend to reach more often for powder on a daily basis. If I’m in a hurry, cream is the way to go!
Angel L says
I use cream and powder shadows. Love them both. And for lounging – old soft t-shirt and shorts
Jennifer says
I am good at drawing. My son would sit in my lap for hours and I’d draw him all kinds of things. He loved trains the best and started drawing them himself at the age of 4. When he started school I’d draw characters from books we’d read on his lunchbag.
Karina says
Fav cream eyeshadow is Two Cents by Benefit n___n and maybelline tattoo in pomegranate punk
Kayvid says
I love to lounge around in a night gown…is that weird?
Jaleesa says
I used to only use powder eyeshadows, but recently I have been buying more of the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hours shadows because I love the color payoff. I’m still teaching myself how to use them to get the most out of them and so far, I like the smooth cream consistency 🙂
Ruth Gistelinck says
Definitely powder eyeshadow but maybe I just haven’t tried a good cream shadow yet!

Sweatpants to lounge around in, of course!
Michelle says
So… My birthday is coming up! It’d be awesome to win this =D

Lately, I’ve been all about the cream eyeshadow.

Powder eyeshadow, no piercings, zero talent for drawing !

Jenelle says
I cannot draw to save my life! Powder eyeshadow! When I was younger, I had my tongue pierced.
Rachel P says
My comment today will be that I am craving a big ol fancy cupcake from the cupcake shop the next town over. I have been so hungry all afternoon for junk food but a cupcake would really take the cake (ha!). Hopefully I can stave off my craving with some carrots or something after work and won’t succumb to the sugarbomb… although my attempts to resist in the past have been futile. Happy Monday, Karen and Tabs! Thanks for doing these giveaways!
Thomas Murphy says
Thanks for the giveaway!
Rina says
Love it!
Kathy says
My dog loves my husband more than me even though I am the nice, loving one! Makes me so frustrated!
Rosemary Ford says
First of all thank you for such a lovely giveaway . I have two resue kitties they are my world.
Deb says
It takes me so long to get settled in and start my homework – which is what I should be doing now.
Jen says
I am obsessed with pretty eyeshadows, however, I never have tried out cream eyeshadows before. I have oily lids, so I’m afraid they will crease throughout the day.
Rikki Poynter says
Powder formula all the way.
Heather A says
I need to buy the BE A to Z

My dog is incredibly affectionate. My cat is very loving, but she is not a lap cat.

Had a day off from work today. Got some Chipotle for lunch and cleaned my bathroom lol!
Julie Simpson says

Liat says
I don’t wash my brushes nearly as often as I should

Avery says
So happy it is finally cool enough to wear my sweaters!
Gamma says
I don’t have very many excuses to be in loungewear because I’m in and out of the door so often, haha! I did have some relaxed study-time at home today, so I stayed in my cozy pajamas- lace sleep shorts, an XL tank top, and too many pairs of wool socks!
Kirsten H. says
I have two piercings in each ear! I used to have my septum and a couple uh… other inappropriate ones. Hehe.
Britney says
I just gave my dog a bath for the day, since my dog has an infection on his left back paw he wasn’t able to walk for a whole 7 months properly but he seems to walk pretty well today so I’m very excited for him!
Jody says
Powder eyeshadow all the way.
Allyson says
I’m not one to usually wear eyeshadow, but when I do, it’s cream eyeshadow! 🙂
Julia says
I love cream eyeshadows, and I washed my makeup brushes yesterday!
Britney says
Only about 5 hours and 14 minutes until the lucky person is announced for the giveaway! Super excited 😀 and also I ate some Pumpkin Spice Cake which is the best cake out there! Definitely my favorite treat during Thanksgiving, it beats the good old pumpkin pie for sure 😀
Stephanie R says
Finally got the Chanel Taboo nail polish the other day…OMG. It’s lasted five days without chipping and that’s with doing lots of hand washing, diapers, etc. Most polishes chip within 24 hours, but not this one. The one coat of coverage is fantastic too (if I forget what my husband’s face looked like when I told him the price! Yikes!) I think I have a new favorite polish line!
PetaGay says
Definitely powder eyeshadow, esp. MAC. I have 5 piercings, can’t draw a lick of anything! Hello from Jamaica.

Definitely powder eye shadow. I’ll get excited about cream shadows initially, but the reality is that I usually just reach for a powder!
Laura says
I like the convenience of cream shadow – but always get better results with powder.
Z H says
powder eye shadow!
Taylor Johnson says
I don’t think I’ve ever used a cream eyeshadow I love, so I’m gonna have to pick powder!

Tom Ds says
Powder eyeshadow!

Whew, made it just in time to enter. And thanks for the reminder to wash my brushes, I think it’s been two weeks since I did a full cleaning.
