I figure that it’s better to be over-prepared than underprepared…hence the three blushes and eight million brown eyeshadows in this pic.
I swear, at least half the mass of my suitcase is due to makeup, LOL!
In other news…
My trip here to LA and the Emmys show tonight (I’ll try to keep posting through the show, but mostly on Instagram because it’s easier to sneak using my phone) was sponsored by Dove. They invited a group of beauty and fashion bloggers and other media representatives.
First, a lovely breakfast this morning, where I learned about Dove’s new line o’ body washes (launching today, and you can get a free sample, BTW) and saw these adorable little omelets shaped like doves…
The new body washes build into a nice, sudsy lather. They’re also very moisturizing, which I thoroughly appreciated last night during my own personal #oneshowerchallenge…which is also a new Dove social media campaign. (Can you get softer, smoother skin after just one shower? Dove says you can with their new body washes.)
After breakfast I headed to something called the Dove Bling Bar, set up here in the hotel, and picked this cute cuff to wear with my…PINK DRESS!
Yes, I decided on the pink one. 🙂
Um…is it weird that I like this cuff because it’s kind of Wonder Woman-y?
Now I’m just getting my makeup and my hair did for the show…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Fancie says
I just came back from a road trip to Virginia so I can relate to this lol. I packed so much stuff! I need to invest in a makeup bag like your green one. That will definitely come in handy for long trips! It looks like it holds so much stuff and it’s super organized
Kiss & Make-up says
Wow, haha, yeah you didn’t exactly pack light… 😀 But I saw the recap and the pics you posted earlier so if allllladis made you look the way you did then you had all right to take it with you 😀
Gillian says
Just like me and my daughter when packing for a holiday, well we need options right?!?!!!
I’ve just also shoehorned 3 more bottles of Dove shower cream into my already crammed full beauty products drawer as I can’t resist the creaminess!!
Lena says
