sandy says
MAC manish arora, just because it’s exotic looking and the colors are pigmented. That doesn’t mean I’m going to get it though! I’m broke. 🙁
Karen says
Hi Marisol,
Yah girl! You know I can’t say no to Ms. Coco!
Karen says
Hi Karen Too,
SOO pretty! Will you have a veil?
I am actually going to be in my BFF’s wedding as the matron of honor!
Karen says
Hi Brittany,
They are really pretty and very useful, especially the Velvet Plum. Do you think you might pick any up?
Karen says
Hi YadiQ,
HA! If we get assorted treats I also want a few kittens up in there so Tabs can have a friend!
Karen says
Hi Dao,
I agree, the packaging is very pretty. The colors are kinda bright for me, but they’re pretty.
Karen says
Hi Sandy,
I hear ya. Sometimes it’s fun to just window shop, which is what I end up doing when I am on a tight budget. 🙂
Karen too says
Thanks, I think so too!! 🙂 Yes, I’ll have a veil that is a bit similar to the one in the photo (only lace along the sides). And silver shoes with sequins. Do you have a picture of your wedding dress? I’d love to see! 🙂
Elena says
I don’t suppose there’s a “Choose them all” option, is there? I really, really love the MAC holiday collections. I cannot wait to get my hands on those brush sets! I’m totally saving up right now.
Which collection would you choose if you had to, Karen? 😀 Also, have you ever tried the famous NARS blushes and highlighters? Do you think they’re worth the price, if you have?
Hope Thursday’s treating you well. 🙂
YadiQ says
yes baby kitties would make a great surprise!
Amanda says
ooh-toughy. At first I was think BB for sure…but once I viewed the smashbox collection I changed my mind. The duos did me in! But I love chanel’s holiday too. Can’t we just pick and choose from each one? LOL.
Daya says
My eyes have been on the BB collection! Specifically, the lip and eye palette. 🙂
Jaimie says
i LOVE reading your blog, karen. You are so funny.

Glosslizard says
Gimme gimme Chanel! 😀
The Manish Arora wins the prize for looking great with the Halloween decor though!
Anastasia says
Of course the Chanel line – it’s like hitting the houses that you know have the good chocolate candy!
Karen says
Hi Karen Too,
I don’t have my wedding pics on this computer, but here’s a link:

What’s your wedding going to be like? Big, small?
Karen says
Hi Elena,
Ha! I wish!
So far, I’m feeling the Smashbox, Lancome, BB and Chanel. I know that’s like, half of the options, but ahhh, well. 😉
I have tried NARS blushes and highlighters. While I like the Multiples, I have a similar product by Laura Mercier that I only occasionally reach for, so I haven’t gotten around to snagging a Multiple just yet. The blushes are worth all the hype! I have Amour and Torrid and I love them both to bits!
Right now I’m at work taking a short break. It’s kinda been non-stop here for two weeks and I’m seriously ready for the weekend.
How’s your day been?
Karen says
Hi YadiQ,
Yup… and they would all come with all of their shots, good manners and a lifetime supply of vet care and food. That would be a TREAT!
Karen says
Hi Daya,
Yay! I am a fan of this BB release, too. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Jaimie,
Thanks girl! Hope you’re having a good day. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Glosslizard,
So true! I would almost mistake it for Halloween candy!
Tami says
I can’t choose just one. What can I say, I’m an only child!
Megan says
I totally went with Chanel…although the Red she Said is pretty hot. I got the Lancome palette of Starlette and Stunning – It’s under gift sets for some reason and it has 6 colors…and LOVE it…it is soooooooo pretty. I’ve been using it a lot ,lately…and who cares if glitter is office appropriate or not. 🙂
lexi says
MAC would be my obivious choice but lately I’m craving some Nars esp since I have straight OD’d on MAC! Maybe the super orgasm blush will show up better on my brown skin!
Elena says
Hey Karen,
Aww, I hope work calms down for you a bit. If it helps, school has been pretty crazy for me. I also found out that I have to work at 7am the morning after Halloween, which is a huge bummer. Otherwise, though, I’m alive and well. 😀
Have you decided who you (and Tabs!) are going to be for Halloween? I’ll live it vicariously through you. 😛
Karen too says
Wow, what a lovely dress – I bet you were drop dead gorgeous! Seems like we both appreciate simplicity over the more embellished dresses. We will have about 60 guests for dinner btw (Medium size I guess?)
Anyway, good luck on your decision about going back to school! Would it be full time, or would you still work part time?
Kitty says
I can’t pick between Shu Uemura and Bobbi Brown… I love how flamboyant the former is, but the Bobbi Brown collection is so… luscious.
