Rise and shine, morning glory! And give it your all, too, because I sure could use a little help this morning in the rising and shining departments, if you know what I mean. I feel like I had too much coffee and tea yesterday, and now I have a caffeine hangover, or something like that. I’m not sure there is such a thing, but I feel like my brain cells aren’t awake yet. “Sure, you can get up, girl, but we’re sleeping in!”
Please bear with me today if I say something that doesn’t quite make sense, or if I go off on weird tangents.
Well, weirder than usual. 🙂
Oh, speaking of tangents, El Hub and I did go to that movie last night, Super 8. In a word: fascinating! Not so much the movie itself, although I did enjoy it, but just how authentically Steven Spielberg it feels. He produced the film, but J.J. Abrams directed, and in many ways it seems like a tribute to Spielberg’s ’80s movies like E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark — sort of a throwback to the Golden Age of movies with the spectator as a wide-eyed child, overwhelmed by sound and spectacle, people frantically running around, and lots of fast camera close-ups on faces during big revealing scenes. I grew up on a steady diet of that stuff, so it was fun and, at times, nostalgic to see another talented director faithfully imitate the style so well.
In the film, a group of middle-school friends circa 1979 are making a low-budget movie of their own, a zombie flick, and low-budget doesn’t do justice to their resources. All they really have is a commitment to making a good picture and their own belongings to use as props. Plus, the town they live in as the backdrop, and it’s while filming one scene that they decide to use a passing train to enhance their movie’s “production value.” Of course, that’s when something BIG happens and the story starts rolling. They find themselves caught in the middle of a catastrophic train crash with secret Air Force cargo, etc. etc. [INSERT ALIEN HERE].
I think the movie itself feels maybe a tad too long in the second half, but I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended, especially if you fondly recall Steven Spielberg’s older movies.
Hmm…
Okay, so I know that none of that had to do with makeup or beauty. See, I warned you about me today. 🙂

Dovey says
I’m eating breakfast on my porch =)

The Actress whose makeup I really admire and to me it always looks stunning and just right is Aishwariya Rai – Bollywood. She always looks so gorgeous and effortless.

Ginelle says
Today is going to be a wonderful Saturday 🙂

Laurenica says
So glad it’s the weekend! yippee 🙂
Nancy says
It’s the weekend…gloriousness!
Melissa says
I’ve been feeling super lazy this morning too. I barely had energy to do 10 minutes of jumping rope for my exercise, with the tiniest bit of weights after (5 min.). I’ll take what I can get, and call it a day.
Nadine says
I’m not sure of the first movie I went and saw, I feel like it was The Lion King of something 😛
Saddy says
I think the first movie I ever saw in theater was a Bollywood one – “Karan Arjun”, maybe.
YAY Sephora!!
Thea says
You crack me up! I have to say, I really need to
a) get off my butt and start working out. Mostly because your reviews of sports bras make me feel like a sloth. Perhaps a little less QVC Friday Night Beauty and a bit more Wii? lol
b) gaah I haven’t been to movies in WAY WAY WAY TOO LONG!
Chrstine says
I remember seeing the very first Toy Story movie in theaters with my dad!
Elisa says
I’m excited for the bogger collection coming out Tues!
Liz says
Today I plan to do absolutely nothing but watch dvds of Sex and the City and read magazines. It’s been WAY too long since I’ve done nothing.
Emily says
I didn’t watch that many movies growing up, but I remember when my mom took me to see Terminator 2 at the theater. Not sure she realized that it was an intense action film when she picked it. She usually gets freaked out by those kinds of films, so I remember having to calm her down during the movie even though I was the kid who probably should have been freaked out!
Molly SC says
I seriously want to see Super 8… I’m fairly sure the first movie I saw was something along the lines of The Lion King (or similar)
I know for a FACT that my lil’ sister’s was Babe. After the first 10 minutes, she wouldn’t stop screaming “WHERE’S BABE’S MOM?!!?!?!”
Jody says
Am headed to the mall later this afternoon. Will definitely be hitting up Sephora.
Kat says
I’m excited for Super 8!
Ashley says
Hey !! Thanks for doing this awesome giveaway !! The first movie I remember seeing is the First Jurassic Park, only because when the T-Rex came, I screamed so loud and cried that my mom had to take me out of the theater and calm me down. I think that should be a lesson to not take a 5 yr old to go see a dinosaur movie that isn’t in cartoon format.
Angela says
I’m really excited to watch super 8! It looks really interesting
Andrea says
Definitely excited for my trip to visit my fiance in Kansas. It will also be our son’s first airplane ride! Super nervous! But it’ll be worth it. Just gotta survive the airports!
Brody says
I’m pretty sure the first movie I saw (in theaters) was Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The next one was The Little Mermaid (which is still one of my favorites!).
April says
I think the first movie I ever saw in a movie theater at least was Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Beth says
I remember “The Little Mermaid!”
Liza says
In 7th grade, I was in the wizard of oz and I had to wear emerald green, glittery eyeshadow up to my eyebrows! It took forever to get it out!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
Jenny says
Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
Kaianne says
The first movie I remember seeing in theatres was… The Lion King, I think? Perhaps Toy Story? I must have been about 6 years old, and went with my dad to the $1 movie theatre (it now seems absurd that I’m paying, like, 150-170% the price for IMAX/3D movies, now, bahaha).
Hana says
I’m not really sure which movie I first saw in theaters but I do remember going to see “The Little Princess” with my best friend. She’s Indian and we both thought it was so awesome and magical when Sara told stories about India. I think it might a lot to her 🙂
Taylor says
I rememer the matrix being my first rated R movie.
Kristina says
I’m looking forward to going to my best friend’s birthday today! I’m baking cupcakes, filled with vanilla cream frosting and topped with chocolate kind of like hostess. I guess I should probably get started on those.
Jeanne says
I cannot wait until I get my own place.
Katherine says
My friends and I made a short film as a sort of book report on Macbeth in 8th grade. It was a blast!
Step says
I was in The King and I and they had everyone do their makeup in this really bizarre way to make the white actors look more “Asian.” I was one of two actual Asians in the production and so I got to do my makeup however I wanted. It was super weird. They had to make their brows black and angular and do weird dramatic unflattering eyeliner. Everyone was required to fake bake and have black hair as well. I was like “Uhh I don’t think that’s what we look like” and the director said “But from the audience, it looks great!” Not so much …
dani@callitbeauty says
i was very iffy about super 8 because the trailer had a very m. night shyamalan feel to it and we all know he’s butchered his own films for years now… but i actually really enjoyed it!
Laura Walker says
I would love to be a makeup artist on a movie!
Isabel says
OMG my boyfriend gave me a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and ive been eating them all day! I cant stop eating them theyre sooo good. lol

I LOVE Halloween just to be able to do fun makeup… my favorite was a zebra costume a few years ago! Last year I did a Lichtenstein look… not too elaborate but pretty tedious to paint that many dots on my face! 🙂
Coral says
Super excited today for my family get together. Everyone is going to be there from my immediate family, and that is hard for us to all get together at once.

Christina Tran says
So, I’m entering from Hawaii!

I soooo glad it’s finally the weekend! Time to relax 😀
Erin says
Here’s a random comment for you: I helped an 89 year old woman carry bags today. She informs me that she just got out of the hospital, even though they wanted her to stay in there…but assures me that she is not crazy, it was anxiety. She then introduces herself as Dora the Explorer. I cannot make this stuff up lol.
lo says
I’d love to be a makeup artist! Unfortunately, I suck at putting makeup on other people.
Lisa says
I totally bought two 50 Reps bras yesterday at lululemon. I couldn’t help it; they were on sale! 🙂

The first movie I ever saw was Titanic, and I saw it in the movie theater. My mom said I loved it and I just remember sitting on my mom’s lap and singing along to all of the songs.
Christie says
Nom nom!! 🙂
Carissa says
The celeb with the best style for me would have to be Emma Watson. Her style manages to be both edgy and presentable, plus, how adorable does she look with that pixie cut?! Her makeup is always flattering and never overdone.
Tatiana says
I’m watching my favorite 80s movie right now, “Just One of the Guys”!

Rhia R. says
Super 8 was an awesome movie. Even better than Green Lantern (sorry, Ryan =P).

Britanny B. says
Hi Karen! First time commenting on your blog posts. I’ve recently found your blog and I must say that I am absolutely in love with it. I’m a late bloomer when it comes to wearing makeup. I’m 23 years old and have only recently started my makeup collection. Winning this would be so awesome! Hope you have an awesome weekend!

Oh My! My baby is turning 16 tomorrow!!! sniff, sniff
Jane says
Going to a graduation party for a great guy who was born at 3lb 2oz. Has been so much fun to watch him grow up.
Karen K says
I’m sure I saw other movies before this one but I vividly remember seeing Jaws and being scared to pieces. My brother and his friend were sitting behind me and my BFF and they kicked the backs of our seats at a crucial moment and we screamed our heads off. Brats! I still am paranoid about going into the ocean and that was a million years ago.
Nalini says
I helped my friends make a movie for Spanish class and it’s currently on YouTube. Embarrassing is an understatement.
Jen P says
Following you on Twitter – username StarEyes04
As for my “any comment”…
I’m active in a local theater ensemble, and one of my favorite shows to be in was “Cabaret.” I was a Kit Kat Girl and did a lot of dancing/singing. We were dressed in sexy/skimpy lingerie for the show (which was interesting for dancing in) and our makeup was very vixen-ish with dark eyes, red lips, heavy black liner. It was my favorite makeup that I’ve done for theater to date. However, wearing cake makeup for the stage is NOT gentle on sensitive skin – I had to take a hiatus from makeup for a few days to give my skin a break. But it was worth it.
Bernice says
Need to hit the books ASAP! But not before getting my daily dose of MBB 🙂
Melissa Ardito says
I painted my toe nails a pretty glitter hot pink. 🙂
sienna says
i really want to see “super8”, thanks for the review.
Ziba says
I think Megan fox has the best makeup! And watched Super 8 movie yesterday, pretty good. The kids were funny!
Stephanie/Yukaeshi says
Ooooh. During my internship for my first year undergraduate studies I volunteered to scriptwrite and create a short film for a master’s student’s project (Who’s a financial advisor), along with the other interns, at request of our supervisor. There was a professional filming/production company assisting us, and although the storyline/script didn’t go as I wrote it (Due to the lack of co-operation and experience from the actors/actresses involved), I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out, and I definitely learnt a lot about filming! It’s definitely not easy.
It’s here if anybody’s interested 😛

I went and saw The Green Latern with the hubby yesterday. It was OK, but I didn’t mind watching Ryan Reynolds at all. 🙂
Tracy Hathaway says
A few years ago, my cousins and I made a movie called “Masks.” It was a product of boredom, but has since spawned a sequel!
Lillie says
Pick me!
dashsuede says
I can’t even remember the last time I went to a movie theater, so sad…

Praying a certain crappy piece of “art” in my house has an accident that doesn’t come from me. 🙂
Vicki N. Hammons says
Hi Karen,
The first movie I remember everseeing at the theater, was Walt Disney’s “The Jungle Book”! My mother took me to see it, growing up in Texas. It is still my favorite Disney cartoon movie! 🙂 My favorite movie to date is “Fast Five” with my two favorite men in it!!! That movie was the business! Have you seen it? I love wearing makeup but have never wore anything way out there. One day I want to go to a True Masquerade party, you know like the ones they had in the real old days, in London. I think that would be totally awesome, just like winning this would be.
I was wondering, do you announce the winner or just notify them via e-mail or both?
Thank you for sharing,
Vicki
Ceci says
Super 8’s plot is interesting. I’ll wait until it’s available as streaming video.
Heidi says
The first movie I remember going to see was a Benji movie my parents took me to as a kid. There was still a drive-in in our area and so I got to go in my pajamas. I think I fell asleep before the end of the movie!

What a beautiful day it is 🙂
Katie says
Hm, for consistently best makeup looks I think I’m going to pick Diane Kruger. Stunning!

Lisa says
super stoked for the bloggers collection to come out!
Lucy says
I was almost in a movie. A friend who worked for a camera shop in the mall was making a movie. I don’t remember what the title was or what it was completely about. It was many years ago. I was to play some sort of native woman whose costume kept getting skimpier. In the end I am my girlfriends decided not to be in the movie. I wasn’t showing all my assets. Thanks.

I don’t watch a lot of movies. Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of Dr. Who. Need to catch myself up to the current season!
Joellen says
My best halloween makeup moment was dressing up as David Bowie in Labrynth. My sister dressed as David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust years. It was epic.
Ariana says
Mila Kunis by far has the best makeup it’s just so bronzy and natural I just can’t get over it!

I’m excited for Super 8…but I think I may have ruined it by reading about it on Wiki 🙂
Caitlin says
So I was the Wicked Witch of the West for a play and I didn’t get to pain my face green… but I still needed to be frightening! So I used a light base to make myself very pale. Then, I started the eyes with light green under my eyebrows and dark dreen on my lids. Camo green went in my creases, then a loose black pigment to the corners of my eyes– blending that outward and over the greens created a dark, scary eye with magical green. Some the the green and black I blended under my eyes, giving me deep-set, scary eyes. Thick black eye liner and black lashes completed the look while dark purple lip gloss tipped me from hooker to evil witch. One of the crew girls turned around to ask me a question and shrieked!
Kate & Zena says
Thank you for the great giveaway. Give Tabs a big smooch on the forehead for me!
singrsling says
I’m very intrigued and want to see the movie Super 8 as well. I love this type of movie!

I saw a woman jogging in Chicago yesterday who looked so much like you I had to do a double-take! I so wanted to stop her and ask her about makeup. 😉
Zakia says
I heard super 8 was a waste of money-
Oh well. At least it will make for a fun story!!
Chrissy says
Sephora needs to get it’s act together and come to Austria already. Italy has tons of them. What gives? I would love to get my hands on some products from Sephora that aren’t available here in Austria. That’s a lot!
Mindy M. says
I went to the gym after work this morning so I can lose weight and look foooiiine in a wedding dress. I slept horribly and I am BEAT!! And have to do it all again tonight. SIGH.
Bhevarri says
Cool! I saw Green Lantern last night with a bunch of nerd friends and had lots of fun! Hope to see Super 8 soon <3
inycat says
Loved Super 8! Definitely had an early Spielberg feel – like Stand By Me
Instant Karma says
I learned today that Gizmo purrs in rhythm with how you’re petting her. If you slow down the pace, her purring tempo decreases as well. I guess this explains why she spends so much time sitting under the piano: she wants to be a musician!
Kelly M. says
Karen, that MAC jealously wakes eyeshadow looks awesome on you!
Veronica says
I love Sephora! Great to be able to return products that didn’t meet my expectations, but rarely happens. Hope I win…fingers crossed.

Lorinda Hicks says
Throwing my hat in the ring once again!
Orin says
I would love to win!
Claudia says
Okay, so random comment huh?? I have three cats: Sophie, Logan, and Toby. Sophie is a sweetheart. She’ll wake you up by purring all over your head in the morning. Logan is a hyperactive, stereotypical boy-cat. He’ll run throughout the house, bouncing over everything (you included) and end the night by cuddling up next to you and purring up a storm. Toby is the odd one in the bunch. He eats for comfort and is frightened easily. He’s constantly getting into the randomest places and he has the loudest meow you’ll ever hear. Well, except for Logan! I love my cats!
Cindy says
Thank you for the giveaway! I’m glad it is Saturday… what a long week.
Dominique says

Jenn Staz says
My friends and I filmed a wacky short film in 10th grade that was very Crash-esque and was about how the smallest decisions we make can affect others in ways we don’t even know and will never be aware of. It was so fun… I wish we had a copy!
Nina says
Wow you’ve remindedr that it’s been way too long since I’ve been to the movies! My first movie memory is seeing the first Benji movie…really showing my age. The first one that really impressed was Spielberg’s Star Wars.

i actually helped a bunch of guy friends of mine make a movie once in high school since I was in the Av club. it was amazingly fun. one of the guys got sick at the last moment so I got to play charlie chaplin in our own restyling of one of his awesome silent movies. we used our own props and everything. it was hilarious considering that i looked like a slightly bustier version of this little homeless guy with a mustache. oh low budget movies….
Amanda says

Candyce Sweidab says
Well I don’t remember filming any movies with friends but I have had my makeup done quite dramatically for my tastes. I was in a hair show in college and the did bright Orange eyeshadow with long Orange eyelashes it was definitely a shock. I recently did a photo shoot where I look like a porcelain doll my hair is very dark and my makeup was very white with dark eye makeup and red lips. Super pretty but very dramatic. So that’s my story I hope I win

Just saw Super 8 this afternoon. Once I started comparing it to ET in my head, I couldn’t stop. But the FIRST movie I remember seeing was Goonies at the drive-in in my parents “wood” panelled station wagon. I probably had neon shorts and a headband on, too.

Yay sephora!
Morgan says
In high school, my brother had to film a video as his final project for Spanish class. The goal was to show what he had learned that year. We filmed what turned out to be a semi-racist, stereotypical movie about construction workers eating at Taco Mundo. I think the only actual spanish words in it were taco, mundo, cerveza, bien and gracias… but it was HILLARIOUS! It’s been 8 years, and their teacher still plays it every year for her classes!
TL says
The sun is out! YAY!
Liz! says
I saw Super 8 last week and I liked it as well. And you’re right, it does have the classic Spielberg feel. Last night I went with the hubs to see Green Lantern. He’s a comic book nerd, and well, I’m a good wife like that 😀
Katy says
“Make-up Games” by Topolino got me into makeup when I was in high school. I never wore anything that intense, though!

The first movie I can remember going to see was “The Long Hot Summer” with Paul Newman and Joann Woodward. It was at a drive in theater with my parents and I was a child. I just googled it and the movie was from 1958, which would have made me 3 years old!
Christine says
I helped my friends to film a low budget movie adaptation of the All American Girl book by Meg Cabot

I got invited to a pre-screening for Super 8, and I’m so glad I did because I wasn’t sure I would have seen it otherwise. It turned out to be a great film. Wasn’t Elle Fanning amazing in it?!
shusheshe says
^^; I went to watch X-MEN: First Class instead of Super 8.
Sue says
I just caught up on the pretty little liars premiere and was thinking how great everyone’s make up looks…especially lucy hale!!
Judy says
I saw Super 8 with some friends, we didn’t really enjoy it unfortunately…it was just E.T. recycled…with more special effects and a bigger alien? We really liked X-men: First Class though!!
sonja says
E.T. was my first movie too..
cyra says
i just watched the first three x-men movies with my friend
Rochelle says
An actress that has the best makeup look to me is Emma Watson. She can do natural looks to dramatic. I love it 🙂
BeckBeck says
My classmates somehow scammed our 12th grade English teacher into letting our final project be movie adaptations of the books we’d read. We mashed up TLC’s A Dating Story (is that still around?) with Pride & Prejudice. Unfortunately, several of our male friend actors couldn’t make the day of the shoot, so I played a narrator part that had been written specifically for a flamboyant guy friend of ours. I stuffed my hair under a cowboy hat and put on a Jersey accent.
cathy says
i need to buyyy somethingggg
Kate says
I just watched an old 60s movie, Valley of the Dolls. While the movie itself was pretty bad, the make-up was incredible! (By Ben Nye)
onegreatsmile says
I always loved playing with makeup, but most of the time I just put on eyeshadow and lipstick on my BFFs when I was young.. nothing fancy. But I had taken some drama classes in high school and done a LITTLE bit of theater makeup on myself, with some basic principles.
When I got to college, someone in my freshman dorm (a guy) wanted to go as Mephistopheles from “Cats” for Halloween. He asked me if I knew how to do that (theater makeup). I said sure, get me a photo (fake it till you make it!!). I copied the pattern with black and white greasepaint, some pencils and powder and it only took me about a half hour. He WON the costume contest at the party he went to. WOO HOO!!
LauraA says

Anna says
For Halloween a few years ago my boyfriend went as a zombie. I had to work (boo!) but I did all his makeup – I was pretty proud of the bloody, bruised mess I created. I dropped him off at a friend’s party and let him find his own way home. Apparently when he was getting a cab at the end of the night it took a little work to convince the driver he didn’t actually need to go to hospital :p
Tiffany says
Hey, Karen!! Super 8 was filmed in town 5 minutes away from me… my father’s hometown, actually. Everybody around here is pumped for the movie. Its pretty cool to pick out parts of town that you recognize in the film… Have a good weekend!

Naomi says
I found some good deals at Victoria’s Secret yesterday. I only bought two things though; a lipgloss in mochachica for $1.75 and sexy little things love me body mist for $6.25. I think I am going to go back for this perfume called vixen it is originally priced at $45 but it is 75% off so it’ll be only 11.25, it smells so good!
Priya says
My greatest makeup inspiration has always been the ladies of old hindi films. I hope to one day perfect the eye makeup of Sharmila Tagore or pull of Zeenat Aman’s glowy-skin-with-heavily-kajaled-eyes look.
Stef Smith says
I saw “Super 8” last week on my 36th birthday with my husband and two daughters! I loved it! It felt really real to me, the little goofy blonde kid that was always the zombie that got killed was my favorite! We watched “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” yesterday, two movies in one week, that’s a lot for us! It’s hard to find movies that are for kids, and yet have enough to interest adults!
LeeAnn says
I remember going to see the Little Mermaid with my mom when I was a little girl. I can’t remember if its the first movie I saw, but it was the most memorable.
Lisa B. says

Oh well. I love going to the movie theaters to check out the new stuff playing each week, especially in New York City where everyone is like SO into the movie! It’s like they’re thinking what you’re thinking… but they say it out loud during the scene! Makes me laugh every time :]
stephanie says
its summer time to pick out a fresh summer look =3

Kaylyn says
The first movie I remeber seeing in the theater was Disney’s Fox and the Hound! Sooo cute!
looloolooweez says
The most elaborate makeup I ever wore was for a play I was in when I was about…. I don’t even remember, like 12 or so. The King & I. I was one of the little princesses. Keep in mind that I grew up in a small city in West Texas, so there weren’t a lot of southeast Asian actors around for the roles. Those of us who lacked proper facial structure had to make up for it with all kinds of makeup tricks. It took my mom half an hour to get everything right– liquid eyeliner and shadow in a contouring shape, plus bronzer/blush and tons of lipstick, even fake lashes for some kids. It was a blast getting to play with all that makeup and getting to look completely different for a couple of hours every night! And the amazing costumes and sets… I was OBSESSED with Thailand for a while after that, the clothing and the architecture and the history and the food, and I still hope to visit someday.
Liz says
I would LOVE to learn SFX makeup but don’t have the time or money for beauty school!

Thx for the traielr ;-))
Yun says
I adore Angelina Jolie’s makeup, always – especially the recent focus she & her MAs have been taking on her gorgeous, slightly feline eyes rather than the usual lips. With that slight ‘cat lash’ winged eyelash look that I’m seeing on Natalie Portman these days, too…sigh. Anyhow, she (and Ms. Portman) definitely have my fave makeup looks…’specially now that Natalie is a spokeswoman for Dior! (….which is the brand I’d use that Sephora GC for. *shifty eyes* Although I can’t promise I’d turn out as her carbon copy or anything!)
Sandy says
My dad bought me the E.T. on VHS 22 years ago when my little brother was born, so that I wouldn’t feel left out =)

Body painting was AWESOME and the boys looked great! I had a horrible time at the parade tho, I couldn’t find anyone I knew and I got in a fight with a bunch of bros who called me a freak. Really? We’re at the solstice parade and you’re calling *me* a freak? How sheltered is that?
Anyways, all in for some sephora action, thanks for the contest!
Adrienne says
My first movie was “Bambi.” I remember I didn’t understand what a fade out was and kept asking if the movie was over whenever a scene ended 🙂
mm says
I’m curious to see Super 8 for myself – interesting that you thought it felt very “throwback Spielberg!”
Kelsey says
Have you ever helped friends film a low-budget movie?
In 10th grade I my friends and I made a little film re-enactment of one of the final scenes in the novel “A Tale Of Two Cities” for our big midterm project in English class. We did the scene of the guillotining of Sydney Carton. We filmed in my friends’ back yard, but it was winter so we had to do it outside in the snow, and our fake blood kept freezing (not to mention the hands of the guy holding the camera!). My boyfriend at the time played Sydney, and I played the woman in line with him who kisses him at the end (I didn’t want anyone else kissing my boyfriend!). He did his speech and then walked around the corner of the garage (where, presumably, the guillotine was waiting for him). My other friend was off-camera and she clanged a shovel on a rock off-camera to make the guillotine noise, and then splashed a bucket of fake blood onto the snow. The film ended with the camera zooming up close on it. It was truly a masterpiece. 🙂
What’s the first movie you can remember going to see?
Hmm. Maybe Disney’s “Little Mermaid”? I was in 3rd grade and I remember that my friends and I friends were really, really obsessed with that movie. We had all of the lyrics from the movie memorized and would randomly break out into song in the middle of class.
Which actress strikes you as having consistently the best makeup?
Angelina Jolie, because she is one of the few actresses who consistently does not wear too much makeup, and she has naturally beautiful features.
Have you ever thought about working as a movie makeup artist?
Oh god, no. I’m not even that good at doing my own makeup! 🙂
Describe the most elaborate/theatrical makeup look you ever wore and what it was for (a big date, Halloween, a play)
Two years ago for Halloween I was a geisha. I did the entire face look with white paint, red lips and eyes, etc. It took half an hour to do. My dad actually helped me with most of it. It was a big hit at the party that night! (I also had an authentic kimono that my friend had brought back for me from japan.)
Kris says

I’ve never made a movie with my friends but we did make a music video! my brother and my best friend and I decided to do our own music video of ‘Oops I did it Again’ by Britney Spears many years ago when it first was released. It didn’t come out that good, but we had so much fun!

First movie I saw in the theatre was Big Daddy with Adam Sandler, I still laugh at it today! 😀

julie says
i love sephora!
Miri says
I wish I could find the perfect red lipstick for my fair skin and red hair. And the skills to pull it off. You remember Laura from Project Runway season 3? She always looked classic and beautiful. That was a redhead who could wear big red lips like no one else!
Elaine says
I am insanely excited for the MAC Bloggers Collection!!!
jess says

Ginnifer Goodwin and Zoe Deschanel are my favorite…they have the fresh-faced girl next door look. I love it.

Aimey says
Oh, wow! I haven’t even heard of Super 8, but after watching the posted trailer, it seems like a definite must-see! It’s been a while since there’s been a movie with a such a theme starring kids! & the fact that there are kids in it definitely makes me less intimidated to watch it! 😛
LoLo says
I love sci-fi flicks, and will definitely be seeing super8. My favorite of all time has to be Mars Attacks, classic!
Colleen B says

i know SS through family, so i’m really excited to see this!
Quinctia says
My first theater outing was for the mid-80s rerelease of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. My grandmother was pretty adventurous, taking a four-year-old to the movies, but I’ve never had a huge problem sitting still at the movies. (Mainly because I’m rather picky about what I pick to see, haha!)
amy says
i can’t wait to see anymovie. i plan on a movie everyweek!
Holly G says
Quite random, but the first movie I remember seeing at a theatre was Sweet Dreams, a movie about Patsy Cline – which, according to Wikipedia, came out when I was 2! My mom must have wanted to see it and dragged me along with her! 🙂
Amanda says
Hope I win this one!
Amanda G says
My friend and I filmed a bunch of “previews” for fake movies once and created a video collection. One was a Jr James Bond flick… I was a bond girl: Lacey Droors
kalcedon says
Well, I’m not sure about the first movie I saw in the cinema… I’m gonna guess Jungle 2 Jungle, Air Bud or Zeus and Roxanne… but maybe I’ve seen films in the cinema earlier, I don’t know :P.
And for low budget movies, no, I haven’t done those, unfortunately :(. I mean, there have been some ideas from friends, but we never got to make it. With one friend circle when I was about 11 or 12, we planned to make a horror movie AND its parody (In the trap of the vampire and In the pants of the martyr… they rhyme in Hungarian :P)… and with my high school class, we were always planning to do a BIG action-comedy flick with every one of us having bigger roles… but we only got to shoot one or two scenes and to write some scenes. I would have been an assassin in it, it would have been so cool :P.
Amanda says
The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was “Beauty and the Beast”. Except it must have returned to theaters several years after it was first released because I only would have been 2 the first time 🙂
sandy says
I remember watching Pocahontas in theaters when it first came out. It is the first movie I remember watching, but probably not the first one I saw.
LauraJ says
I went hiking at Lake Berryessa yesterday. Totally taking advantage of this wonderful weather we’re having

Susan says
Last night I watched the chick-flick-on-crack; Letters to Juliet, and yes–there might have been a moment or two when–cough, cough–I teared up. Just a little. But throughout this shameless movie the one thing that stood out most was the beautiful “I just drank red-wine and it stained my lips” lip colour on the actress Amanda Seyfried. Wouldn’t I just love to know what the heck she was wearing…gorgeous!
Thanks for the giveaway–with any luck I too can go to Sephora and find something that makes me half as kissable as Amanda Seyfried! 😉
Debbie says
I just got home from the beach!

I remember very distinctly the first movie I saw in a theater. I was about three or four and I went to see Pocahontas with my grandparents. About twenty minutes in I ran out screaming and crying because the movie scared me so much!
saku says
Craving for pasta.
Erica says
When I was in Fourth Grade, my friends and I had to make a film of a book for school, so we made a movie of Harriet the Spy. I ended up playing Harriet and I decided to give myself freckles (I really liked freckles for some reason). They ended up looking like huge brown craters on my face. I looked pretty hilarious in that movie!
Mary Joyce says
wow! i love your sports bra posts as i have been looking for a good one myself! =)

Went to my first Kryolan makeup store the other day. So crazy; there were pots of fake blood and vomit on the walls! But their makeup was really pigmented, I was so impressed!
Lily says
I would buy Nars Amour with this money 😉

lisa says
i can’t even remember the first movie i went to, lol!!
i was a make-up artist for quite a few years and worked for some great companies. i still do free-lance on the side and always thought it would have been cool to work on a movie.
hope you had a great weekend 🙂
Alicia says
The first movie I saw was Lady and the Tramp with my Dad. I couldn’t wait until it came out on DVD so I could see it again.
stephanie says
it’s a 100 degrees in texas, yay me
Marina says
I remember in sixth grade we had different ‘theme days’ during homecoming week, and for 70s day I plastered bright blue eyeshadow across my lids and bright pink lipstick on my lips. My mom wanted to pass out I think, haha. That look was definitely not 70s, but I just wanted to bask in the glory of being able to wear makeup that wasn’t in a flesh tone to school for once!
Jade says
I’m so sick of school. I need retail therapy
SarahBear414 says

We have to wear the craziest, heaviest makeup in operas…. I wouldn’t dare wear it out in public, I’d look like a total nutcase!
elizabeth says
I actually notice the dewy flawless skin of the actresses rather than their eye or lip makeup.
Robyn says
I always love Megan Fox’s makeup! It’s pretty simple yet really glamorous! Thanks for the giveaway! (:
Emma says
I loved Super 8!! I saw it last weekend and am totally in love. It’s definitely in vein with other classics like ET and The Goonies. So stoked about it.
I also really loved reading Emma Watson’s recent interview with Vogue. She’s one person that I think always has a beautiful and classic look.
Heather says
Love Jessica Alba’s make-up; love the soft, smoky eyes she pulls off and the beautiful glow her skin always has!
Madelynn says
I hope I’m not too late! :]

I went to watch Super 8, and really liked it, too! Totally reminded me of E.T. and Cloverfield.
yio says
I cannot wait to see Bad Teacher!! 😀
Liz says
The first movie I can remember seeing is TItanic, haha. One year I dressed up as a geisha for Halloween, but in hindsight, I could have done a lot more in terms of makeup and costuming.
Holly says
Wow this would be amazing to win 🙂
