- WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Elizabeth W., for her comment that begins, “Karen, I’m a new subscriber to your blog, and enjoy it so much! Give Tabs a kiss on the head for me…” Congratulations, Elizabeth! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂
Somewhere out there, perhaps right outside your window, the squirrel foreman of a nut collecting work detail is frantically squeaking orders to his crew, “Hurry, men! Winter’s coming! Leave no leaf unturned!”
Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 Happy autumn. I hope you slept well.
I felt like kicking off this weekend with a giveaway, but it’s not the only open giveaway round these here parts. If after entering today’s giveaway you also take a moment to enter The 2011 Breast Cancer Awareness Month Sign Project and Giveaway, you could win a monumental $1,126 makeup prize (and it’s very easy to enter). Right now there aren’t many entries, and the odds of winning are about 500,000 times better than the lottery.
I’m just sayin’.
In other news, it’s supposed to be nice and sunny here today, and I plan to milk that for all it’s worth! Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it’s sunny there and you get to spend some time outside.
Without further ado, it’s…
- One (1) Sephora eGift card containing $50 sent to the winner by email (international readers, you may opt to receive $50 sent by PayPal instead).
- There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, what’s the weather like out there today? Have you ever baked a pumpkin pie (if you did, how’d it turn out)? Do you have any plans this year for Thanksgiving (happy Canadian Thanksgiving to y’all up north!) or Halloween? What was your best hair/makeup/outfit this past week? — you get the idea.
- Second, you can enter by following me on Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
- Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/r2CgCt
- The deadline to enter is Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 11:59PM (PT).
- Entrants must enter using a valid email address and/or Twitter account to win.
- A maximum of two (2) entries per person — one within the comments at the bottom of this post, and a second entry via Twitter addressed to me @karenmbb.
- Contest is open to individuals of any country who have reached the age of majority according to their local laws (18 in the United States with these exceptions: Alabama and Nebraska, 19; Mississippi, 21).
- Sephora eGift Certificates can only be redeemed online and are not valid in stores or available for purchase or redemption in Canada. International winners may opt to substitute the Sephora eGift card prize for $50 sent directly to their email address by PayPal instead.
- Tabs and I (heretofore referred to as “T-Money and K-Dawg”) will select one (1) winner at random from the entries either left in the comments at the bottom of this blog post or addressed to @karenmbb on Twitter.
- The winner will be announced here within 48 hours of the deadline.
- Void where prohibited by law.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Gabriela C. says
Last year I attempted to make a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving. It came out delicious,but the recipe my sister found required sooooo many ingredients! It also took a lot of time to make. But it sure was g-o-o-d! This year I don’t think I’ll be putting my baking skills to work, I have a 7 week old son, so I have zero time for baking. Maybe my fam won’t notice if I buy one? 😉

I love fall though, it’a my favorite!!!!!
allie says
I’ve never tried a paint pot 🙂
Carol says
I like pumpkin pie but, truth be told, I prefer sweet potato pie for the texture. For the past couple of years I’ve been using Cook’s Illustrated recipe for pumpkin pie which calls for a combination of one can of pumpkin puree and one can of candied yams. It’s like the best of two (pie) worlds. I usually find pumpkin pie filling a little too wet, so their recipe is perfect for me 🙂
Iwannabefierce says
LOL @ have you ever baked pumpkin pie.

Marian says
It’s gorgeous here today…sunny and about 75F. I’ve baked many pumpkin pies. My family loves them but my waist line doesn’t. I have begun making pumpkin smoothies instead. I use 1/2c. of canned pumpkin (not pie mix) a cup of almond milk, a vanilla bean, frozen banana chunks, cinnamon, nutmeg and splenda. It’s delish!
LuzMa says

Amanda G says
“Whether the weather be fine, or weather the weather be not
Whether the weather be cold, or weather the weather be hot
We’ll weather the weather whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not!”
That was in my 4th grade science textbook. It stuck in my head and I’ve never forgotten it.

Hey Karen! Baking a pumpkin pie isn’t as hard as it seems! My grandmother taught me how to bake pies, especially pumpkin (my favorite!) when I was very young. I hope you give it a try and let us all know how it turns out – nothing feels better than baking something new! Such a cool accomplished feeling and El Hubz will definitely be happy too 😉 Have a great day!!!

Melissa says
We’re doing one of my favorite fall things…apple picking! We’re from Los Angeles, so we drive about an hour east into the San Bernardino mountains where there’s this little town with lots of apple farms. My daughter and I love it!
Step says
My brother and I always made different pies for thanksgiving and he’d use premade everything and remained happy and festive. I’d try to hand make crust and all the stuff, so it’d take about 10x as long and by the time the pie was done, I’d just resent it.
Alison says
I’m so ready to bake some pumpkin goodies!
Sandra says
It’s going to be a warm beautiful day here in southern California:).

Sunny, beezy & cool.
Have you ever baked a pumpkin pie (if you did, how did it turn out)?
No, I hate pumpkin pie! Yuck.
Do you have any plans this year for Thanksgiving or Halloween?
Thanksgiving will probably be spent at husband’s grandma’s house, like most years. Not sure yet about Halloween – we might be moving in a couple of weeks & will therefore miss our friend’s yearly party. No ideas for costumes.
What was your best hair/makeup/outfit this past week?
I’ve been home sick this week, so my “best” day was yesterday because I actually washed my hair and put on clean sweats. 😛

Sabrina DeliaRose Fracchiolla says
So yesterday, I just got over having a tummy virus for the past two days.. I had cabin fever after only two days! Two of my friends and I went to the city (Manhattan) and we went to chipotle! I didnt think it was right if I had mexican food after having a tummy virus so I got soup at Au Bon Pain instead. But what I was most excited for was going to Sephora and MAC! I really wanted to get the NARS Orgasm Blush but it was $27 and I was determined to find something similar for a little less! The lady at Sephora was like “You didn’t hear this from me but at MAC they have a blush called ‘Peachykeen’ that is very similar for cheaper”. So i ran over to MAC and picked it up.. it’s great! I love it! Its not AS shimmery as the Nars but it’s still really great, and I’m so happy I bought it.. And That was my day:)
Lindsay says
It’s absolutely gorgeous here in VA. It’s my favorite time of year. I love Mellowcreme Pumpkin candies and caramel apples!
I went to Sephora this morning and splurged on the UD Book of Shadows set with the speakers and QR codes. The shadows were just so beautiful!
Aretha Alencar says
I’ve been so sick this last few days…but I finally getting better 🙂

Anyways, it’s almost Thanksgiving here in Canada, and I have a lot to be thankful for this year.. I hope you do too! Have a great and blessing-filled Thanksgiving!

We don’t celebrate Halloween (Unless it’s the clubs/pubs/bars) or even Thanksgiving here 🙂 Would be awesome to try and experience it properly at least once, though for me any day when my family is together and we have gatherings it’s awesome as it is, even if it’s for no reason at all 😀
Swatch And Learn says
Yes, every Thanksgiving, I make my own pumpkin pies…well, ever since a few years ago. 🙂 Before that, I didn’t know how easy it is. But I cheat a bit and use the pumpkin-pie filling and a frozen pie shell. Always turns out delicious. This year I’m tempted to make it from scratch, though.

I started baking pumpkin pies every fall two years ago when my family and I realized that we never loved any of the pumpkin pies we bought. Yep, we’re picky. Now we buy a pumpkin, cut it up, cook it, mash it, mix it with other ingredients and pre-buy crust ’cause we’re lazy. Then we cook it and it is DELICIOUS! I like extra cinnamon in my pie!
Iris says

Omgsh that sign is super cute! Did you make the sign yourself? I can’t tell if you used Sharpie or not, but if so, I’m super jealous you can write like that! As for Breast Cancer Awareness, you know how Yoplait has pink ribbon lids? I always save them and register the code listed under each of them! Everyone should do that, too! It only takes literally like 10 seconds!

It’s 80 degrees here today – this weird weather is making my skin very finicky.
Zoey says
I’ve never been the hugest fan of pumpkin pie. I much prefer butternut squash to pumpkin flavor wise, so I guess the pumpkin shortage I keep hearing about won’t be as big a deal for me as the pumpkin-lovers of the world.. lol.

AK says
Yay giveaway! It is sunny and warmish here in Charleston 🙂 Still cool enough to wear jeans and a long sleeved shirt, which is my jam. I am a cold weathered girl! I’m wearing NARS Outremer which I think is the best pigmented blue. It looks so primary blue in the pan, but once you get it on your lids, it almost has a purplish tinge to it! I love this color. It’s versatile enough to wear as a subtle cat eye, liner, or you could go out and do a full blown club look that Karen so beautifully demonstrated 😀
Question: are winners contacted directly by email or do they have to constantly check at original blog entry to see if their name is announced? Just wondering!
Mary O. says
The weather here in New York is gorgeous! It’s been in the sixties and sunny all day; A welcome change from the near-freezing temperatures the past few days

Coco says
Cool contest!
mn says
I think it may be a rough winter- lots of squirrel activity in my neighborhood, I even had one jump on my windowsill this morning, they are definetly on the hunt for goodies. By the way, I saw a white squirrel in FL last week! I couldn’t believe it. I consider it pretty rare since I’ve seen a black squirrel only twice in all of the years I’ve lived in the northeast.

It is POURING in South Florida right now. We’re on flood watch until tomorrow night. At least its like 10 degrees cooler than it’s been all summer! I can’t wait for it to start cooling down and even getting kind of chilly (we only ever get KIND of chilly..not real chilly or cold, down here)!

Tonight, I saw an animal comedy circus act, with a bunch of rescue cats, dogs, a parrot, a few rats, some geese and a couple of pigeons. I was very impressed with the main guy’s ability to make 12 cats stay seated on their cute little stools on stage, and be very well behaved the whole time. Very very cute!

A giftcard would be great for this cold that I have =(
Mina says
The thing about giftcards is there are so many things you could buy with them! It makes it really hard to decide which one is worth spending your money on.
Eli says
Hi Karen! It’s Thanksgiving here! Me and Bf aren’t doing anyhing special; thanksgiving is not as important a holiday here as it is in the States I think.
The weather is super, super nice, global-warming style: 19 degrees celcius for october 9th: here, it’s a miracle!
Thanks
Eli

We’ve been having clasic fall weather the past few days: clear, windy, and warm(ish) with a nip in the air when you’re out of the sun. It’s log sleeves but no jacket in the day, bundle up at night weather. I love it.
