I bought an obnoxious amount of stuff whenever they were having their 75% off sale. I’m guessing they’re going out of business, so I stocked up.

OMG Karen,
I can’t belive I havent told u. cK got pulled out of Dillard’s I’m working for NARS now. Which IMO is a lot better, because I love NARS… <3
Karen says
Hi Holly,
YES!!!! All the good cosmetics departments are within walking distance in Union Square, too, so we’ll have no shortage of makeup to drool over. 🙂
Girl, I have to tell you, one of the best parts about planning a wedding is getting the dress! When your time comes you’ll have to send me pics so I can vicariously live through you.
Do you have any more trips lined up for the season? Or are you staying putt for a while?
Karen says
Hi Elle,
Aww, Pumpkin! How long does the shedding last? Is it days, weeks?
Tabs is starting to shed, too, so I think it’s time for him to be FURMINATED. I really feel your pain. I swear I have about eight of those lint picker-upper rolls stashed all over the house.
Karen says
Hi Iheartmakeup!
Ummm… WOW! That’s so great! Aren’t you constantly tempted by it all? Nars is really fantastic…

Karen says
Hey Ditte,
I am really very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and the people in your friend’s life. I hope that you all can support and care for each other during this time of mourning.
Both Tabs and I send you hugs.
Take care.
