Rise and shine, morning glory! Or, in my case, rise and glow like a dim night light with a 1-watt bulb.
So sleepy…
I feel like I could have slept another two hours, but when I opened my eyes this morning I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I figured I’d come downstairs and see what the Tabinator’s been up to.
The answer to that: about seven feet. At the top of his cat tower, sleeping all rolled up in a cute little ball.
Awwww… He looks so precious. I think I’ll wake him up. 🙂
“Hi, Tabs.” Poke, poke. “Are you sleeping?”
No answer…
“Where’s my toy [codeword for Tabby]? Have you seen Mommy’s toy?” Poke, poke, poke. “Tabby, Tabby, Tabby. Wakey, wakey, wakey.”
LOL! I feel so crazy sometimes.
Which reminds me, if I go see The Muppets this afternoon, what kind of makeup should I wear…?
I’d be tempted to do something worthy of the subject matter, but in a theater filled with kids, candy and soda, that might not be a good idea. It could be the spark that turns the place into this…
“Karen…” Oh, I hear a cup of tea calling my name. Why don’t you enter today’s giveaway, and I’ll be right back. 🙂

For the muppets, I’d do a fun bright eye with some shimmers. =0) Maybe blue and greens? or a Pink?
Nikki T says
I love Gremlins, and the sequel. So ahead of it’s time.
Amy Rouse says
I need to find a sports bra that doesn’t give me una-boob. Any suggestions?
Mai says
Cosplay is good if the cosplayers actually put effort into making their costumes, as opposed to just buying a Halloween costume and a wig.
maria says
Amazing giveaway!!! I love Sephora!
Denise says
I want to try real cosplay! I’ve only gone half-way, copied a bit of the character’s hair and fashion. I want to go all out next time with wigs and props and stuff 🙂
Erin says
I have Zoya Dove on my nails :).
Chelsie says
I don’t get the Muppets hype. They kinda freak me out. Even more than the Smurfs, and those things are WEIRD. But enjoy your movie!
Claire says
I once went to a party dressed as “bald Britany” AKA britney spears right after she shaved her head and went a bit crazy- basically I smeared mascara and eyeliner all around my eyes and got to wear sweats to a club!
Zharlynne says
It’s a cold day in LA nothing better to do than go shopping
N says
I would love to have the talent to be able to sew up an amazing costume like some cosplayers!
Cindy G says
I love Sephora!
Julie says
Love the Gremlins! When I was little people called me Gizmo 🙂

stephanie Prince says
Hi Karen! What’s your MUST have makeup palette???

Kylee says
i love watching cosplay. i find it hilarious, but id never do it.
Christina says
I went on a coffee date Thursday morning and thoroughly enjoyed his company more than anything presented to me in the month of November. And now, hello, December. =]
mn says
I ran to Target this morning to pick up the coconut chai tea you recommended and the most incredible thing happened… I found a king size missoni comforter and shams, for less than 35$. AMAZING. I also found a santa had and beard made for cats that I plan on having my kitty guy model on Xmas- oh, the humiliation.
With regards to the muppets movie- I would definetly wear something sparkly on my fingers as a tribute to the fabulous Miss Piggy. Or maybe a scarf used as a headband- that seems like something she would do.
Nicole says
I dyed my hair pink once. I shave daily – gotta have smooth legs! Have a great weekend, Karen!
Krista says
I really want to see that movie!
Amanda says
I always feel kind of bad when I wake my kitty up from a nap – but I rationalize it by saying hey, she can nap ALL DAY while I’m at work! Lucky kitty.
Avery Dement says
I had a similarly cute cat experience this morning. My cat (Jerry) looks a bit like Tabs! Anyway its raining and cold here and he did not want me to get out of bed. He informed me of this by sitting on my belly and nipping me if I tried to move. I guess that’s cute…right?
steph shelton says
Hey Karen! Currently wearing OPI’s French Quarter for Your Thoughts on my nails. Perfect shade of gray to make me feel edgy & cool, but last week at Thanksgiving even my super-conservative mom said she liked them! A shade that every generation can agree on!
Jennifer says
Oh! The Muppets! Tell us if it’s worthy going to the movies to watch it! Have a good time!

Cecille says
Fragile Rock Baby!!!!
Cecille says
Fraggle.. I hate auto spell
Em says
🙂 You need to try sugaring in lieu of a wax. I found through lifebooker a sugaring place called sugar me los angeles. Fantastic. Hair doesn’t grow back as quickly and you get a mini exfoliation.
Amber says
If I was going to the muppets I would use the UD liner in Junkie to add some green to my look.
Mindy M. says
I only dress up for Harry Potter related events 😀
PinkGlitter says

Thea says
I **always** feel like I can slept another two hours! At least it’s sunny today – but if we have another 80 degree day in December I’m going to move to the North Pole!
Hana_Berlin says
I’m tired of all the sunny days too. We need some cold Winter weather!
Sabrinna says
I love cosplay! Ive been wanting to do it before and just started doing it last year! Now im totally enjoying it. I make my costumes from scratch, with the help of my dad. and also i try my best to style the wig! most manga and anime artists give the characters crazy hair! its a lot of work but in the end if it turns out great, im glad 🙂 and its hella fun to cosplay and meet other cosplayers!
Jaime says
I’m wearing OPI Barefoot in Barcelona with 3 coats of Katy Perry Teenage Dream. Trying to track down OPI Rainbow Connection & Gettin Miss Piggy With It. Sold out EVERYWHERE. BTW, I love your blog Karen.

I’m really excited about putting up the Christmas tree this weekend.

Goodness, our cats try to help wake us up. Finder (the big galloot) will lick my eyelids if i don’t get up quick enough after the (radio) alarm goes off.
Christina says
I love cosplaying so much! The first cosplay I did, I made everything myself! If I ever go back to Comic Con, I want to get a 4 day pass and cosplay something different for the 4 days 🙂

I love doing my makeup for a special occasion. When I went to see the Muppets movie, I wore a look from my TheBalm muppets pallett!
Swatch And Learn says
It’s a sunny day today – really brightens my mood when the weather’s great! 🙂 Happy Saturday, Karen!
Brenda says
I’m celebrating my birthday next weekend!
Jenny says
I did something similar to my nails last night! I was wearing Catrice Hip Queen Wear Blue Jeans, and then decided to add some crazy glitter (because I’m an adult). I used WnW Diamond in the Rough and did a gradient just like your last post. It needed a ton of topcoat, but whatevs, it’s sparkly.
et says
loving the new Deborah Lippmann glitter nail polishes for Christmas 🙂
betSy says
hey! love your blog,
and my suggestion for the show would be that you MUST floss any color from the O-P-I Muppets Collection!
and in answer to your question about wax, i buy my own wax from Sally’s and don’t pay anyone to do my eyebrows cuz i do them myself!
thanks and keep bloggin, i really like this place :]
Mariee says
I can’t believe it’s December already!
Antithesis says
i dyed my hair RED in college
Meredith says
I just purchased my sister’s xmas gift and bday gift– I think it might not be that fun to have a birthday so close to Christmas, if your family celebrates it, you know? But she has never complained. I hope she’ll like the Lancome lipstick I got her =D
Rae // theNotice says
aslkdfgh when did it become not-September?! D:

Stephanie Y says
I had no idea what cosplay even was till I googled it!
Lisa S. says
Ooo I would cosplay in a heart beat (I’m such nerdy geek!) but DH wouldn’t be caught dead doing anything cosplay. Unfortunately, my life is such that I don’t have time for cosplay or anything remotely like that. Le Sigh………… :0)
PS says
Happy Saturday. I don’t have anything on my fingernails. Too much upkeep, but defintely have my toenails painted. Pink of course w/ flowers. 🙂

Actually had the time to do a full face of makeup today… Then it started raining :(. 😉
Nadia A. says
Hi, Karen, Thank you for the giveaway!
I just told my hubby that one of the goals for today is for me to find a red lipstick. I have medium olive (MAC NC35) skin. If any of you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. I normally don’t wear red lipstick (I am a gloss wearing gal). However, red lipstick is perfect for the Holiday Season.
Erin says
I’m loving NARS’ newest, “Joyous Red”. I think it could work for multiple skin tones.
Emma says
Went to a christmas bunch this morning and going to a Christmas part tonight! Crazy how it sneaks up on you!

Gracie says
I really want to try Tarina Tarantino Aurora Jewel Shadow Palettes from Sephora.
Tabitha says
I could really use some new makeup. My 4 year old son destroyed my last lipstick by using it to color on the mirror…
Stephanie says
I haven’t shaved in about 3 years. I always wax now. Yeah, it takes a lot of time, but think of how much time you can save not shaving everyday.
Mia says
i love sephora! and giveaways!
yuri says
cosplay is cool even more when the people dressing up look like the characters
Julia says
I have been debating a tough decision, to get the Naked palette, or Naked 2 from Urban Decay, its impossible to decide!

Susan says
I love (annoy) my cat Princess Girl with my need to wake her when she’s sleeping “cutely”! I am one of those women who has NO IDEA what to do with makeup, let alone for a special occasion. Just came to your blog, looking forward to learning something…hopefully about makeup…LOL! Have fun at the Muppets!
Becky says
I want to try some Tarte stuff!
Clara says
Dying to go on a shopping spree

SarahK says
Saw the Muppet Mvie last week-end and loved it! Why was their ever cancelled anyways????
Aimey says
Today, I’m filming part of a short movie for my Korean language class. It’ll be my first time doing such a project so I’m excited!
Erica says
lol wow, I actually used to cosplay a lot when I went to nerdy conventions. I, personally, love costuming and role-playing so it was great fun to do that! But sadly I don’t really go to conventions anymore, so my box of costumes goes unused until Halloween. 🙁
Kelly M. says
Today is hubbies B-day. I felt so bad for him that he had to work and on top of it deal with a very rude customer who wanted to get everything for free and didn’t want to pay, what is wrong with people? hopefully the rest of his day will be better.
JenJ says
used WEN for the first time today in winter vanilla mint. i got a nice sample size from qvc’s beauty test tube. let’s see how it goooooes.
Elizabeth W. says
Nails Inc. Jermyn Street on my nails right now… but planning on bowling tonight, so will be needing new nail polish tomorrow. Love your Raiders nails!
Alison says
I think if you’re going to see the Muppets, you need to wear at least one of the Muppets makeup items that’s come out recently! There are so many! Maybe some Miss Piggy Pink, or The Balm’s Muppet palette 🙂
Erin says
Hi Karen – love your site!
Liene says
My neighbor’s kitty is visiting me right now, so I don’t have much time for comments 🙂
Courtnie says
Global Winter Wonderland!
Melitina says
When I was 15 years old I tried to go to a party with black liner all over the eyes. My mom had me turn around and take off all of it before I could get out of the house again. Heehee, black smoky eyes haven’t been my cup of tea since 😉
Lesley says
I don’t know what to buy my kitties for xmas… 🙁
Deborah says
I have been incredibly unproductive today 🙁
marta says
I am wearing OPI red
Maria says
Do a fun bright make up look for going to see the Muppets. Even if the kids turn into Gremlins you can still sit back and enjoy the show! Hehehehe!
Lucy says
The most outrageous makeup I’ve worn was in the ’80’s! I’m really dating myself now. I went to see Culture Club & Boy George always wore outrageous makeup. I wore metallic blue eyeshadow on my lips. Bright pink cheeks, turquoise, blue & pink eye shadows. Probably black liner & mascara. I also used the turquoise shadow in my hair. Got lots of compliments while I was waiting to go in to the show.
Becca says
I totally get cosplay-though I limit my dressing up to Halloween only. There is nothing I love more than getting ready for a good costume party! Thanks Karen! Enjoy your weekend!
onegreatsmile says
I barely have patience to put on real clothes, let alone cosplay. You can only have the character’s costume not their body. I always wanted to be Batgirl. Purple patent latex on this fanny?? Notsomuch.
tabby says
Happy Birthday to me!
MMM says

I’ve been wanting to try that magnetic nail polish from sephora. It looks so cool!
Kate & Zena says
Happy holidays, Karen and Tibby Tabby!
Carol says
I think cosplay’s really cool and I admire/respect anyone who does it. I’d like to try my hand at making a costume one day but I’m such a weenie. I wouldn’t have the guts to wear the makeup, costume, or act the part…and that kind of defeats the purpose of cosplaying, doesn’t it? I love seeing videos and photos of cosplayers in action from anime conventions though. The attention to detail on some costumes is amazing.
Emily says
I’m wearing Inglot 957 on my nails today.
Gail says
Almost time to return to work after 10 days off – great Turkey day w/Hub and a train trip across FL to visit my friend of over 40 years – boy i’m getting old – LOL

Definitely a first world problem but I don’t know how to spend my $20 from sephora….
Mimi says

colleen b says
I put a few pink highlights in my hair in high school.
Sara says
I love how people get so into cosplay–it’s really impressive how people commit to a character, down the last details. Plus, it’s an excuse to dress up!
Tiffany says
currently omn my nails is high maintenance by china claze! gorgeous fall red color!
Hillary says
The Muppet movie was really good! I love Jason Segal.

Karen M. says
I was thinking that this past year has, for the most part, been pretty good. Can’t believe it is almost over but I am looking forward to 2012 and hoping it is filled with wonderful things too.
Felis says
I like cosplay and costumes in general, although I am not a huge fan of anything. I always enjoy dressing up for Dragon*Con, though!
I have usually had outrageous hair, so nothing i do leaps out. I am thinking of shaving off my asymmetrical blue radical bob, though, just cause I have never shaved my head before. 🙂
Crystal says
I SO don’t want to go to work. I didn’t go to bed until 8:30am, so I didn’t wake up until an hour ago. I missed the day! Stupid insomnia.
Jeannette Greene says
An Essie shade… Should be named “Jeannie’s skin tone.”
Caitlin says
I love your sephora gift card giveaways! I really wanted to get the NARS danmari palette but it’s out of stock in my store & online 🙁
kirsten says
working through tons of essays and studying for a gazillion tests
i would love a lil pick me up 🙂
Amanda says
My Naked 2 palette is out for delivery today, I can’t wait to get home from work to admire it…I can’t play with the eye shadows till after I take pictures in the daylight tomorrow!!! Ahh so excited especially since I never got the first one 😀
Naomi says
I think cosplay can be fun but sometimes, it can be awkward lol . I think if I were going to an event I’d wear outrageous makeup.
Lynn says
My hubby and I are Beaker fans.
Anna says
Not into cosplay, but cosplay (circle) lenses!

dani@callitbeauty says
I’ve never cosplayed before, but it intrigues me. I’ve seen some really creative looks on the web!
Sharon Rooney says
Love Sephora, need some new OPT for the holidays.
Ana B. says
I will answer the de-fuzz question. I have been lasering for over a year and couldn’t be happier. I never need to shave certain areas. Wherever I need touch-ups I go in. But even then the hair that grows back is very very fine and light in color. The downside: I have spent over $4000!!!! But I think it is a good investment.
Tia says
I love getting really made up and have alot of fun trying out new makeup looks!
Mai says
Have got a massive headache and have to watch hours of an online lecture on mathematical game theory. Trying to stay positive!
Anna says
I am craving pancakes!
BooBooNinja says
I’m not one for putting nail polish on; however, I’ve been good at *not* biting them lately. wahooo!
Rosie says
I’ve had my eye on the Urban Decay Naked palette lately, though I haven’t decided whether to get the original or Naked 2. (Thanks for the comparison swatches, by the way.) Either way, the gift card would be perfect! *fingers crossed*
IsabelG says
Finals for me are coming up next week and i am dreading it!
Lorri says
I’m stoked for the new Revlon Hybrid UV polishes coming out this month!

Lauren says
My nails are au naturale right now!
Phi says
lol looking back at old photos, I always say ‘what was I thinking?!?!?!’ in regards to hair sttles or make up application. LOL. Shameeeee.
Cass says
I hate to admit this, but I rarely defuzz my legs. I have very fine, light colored hair that is barely noticeable. I only defuzz if I am going to be wearing a dress or for a special occasion. I know, that sounds horrible!
Jennifer says
I’m wearing sally henson in co-balt on my nails 🙂
Terri B says
a gift certificate…a girl can dream
AnnA says
I need polish on my nails this time of year. All the hand washing makes them dry and split. The polish keeps them protected. Now, if I could just keep my cuticles in shape. Who has time to moisturize after every washing?
Javacurls says
Oh, I would just love to win! So much beauty goodness at Sephora! 😉
Maca says
*sleepy zombie face* =_=
laura says
I saw the muppets at a free screening a few weeks ago! It’s a cute and funny movie.

I’m having a lazy day today lol. I’m watching Madagascar with my kids right now. How was the Muppets? Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Melissa says
I have dark auburn hair and am a NC42. I got the crazy idea one time I wanted to be a blonde. I bought a box dye and did it myself. The result was orange straw hair. It’s a miracle my hair didn’t fall out!
Step says
I’m deciding what to paint my nails right now. Shine of the times + Lady Muck maybe.
lizzym says
id get my hands on the nars blush palette if i got this
Christina says
I love dressing up to go out 😀
Liz! says
Love these giveaways 🙂
shannon says
This morning, the way I woke up? My wonderful calico cat was trying to drink out of the toilet and she fell in and got stuck! so I got out of my nice comfy bed and went to get her out AFTER I took some nice photos first! 😉
Sarah says
Love sephora!
lizzie says
LOVE Cosplaying!! Oh so fun…why should playing my favorite character be limited only to Halloween. I love to sew and trying to recreate Rapunzel or Belle from costume to make up is just so much fun. Breaks up the bore of a nothing to do day twirling around with my 9 year old pretending to be a princess, video game character, or super hero for the day.
Talya says
what is love!
Amanda A. says
I think most cosplayers are great but then I always see LOL worthy ones on the internet. I shave my legs every other day though in the winter I get a little lazy… :X
Daniella says
Enjoy your movie, the Muppets film got many accolades from Rotten Tomatoes, awesome.
The weirdest makeup for me is yet to come: going to an 80’s party next saturday. So, to go with my pink neon lace, will be wearing bright blue eyeshadow and fuschia blush, and crimping my whole head of hair. Lol I can’t wait 🙂
clarice says
sounds like fun… you should dress up as miss piggy (and why not wear the makeup from her MAC collection while at it!)
Kass says
There’s always either really awesome cosplay or really crappy cosplay, haha.
Saddy says
Would love to get that Naked 2 palette, or even the original Naked one…
LAURA says
Is anyone else just dying to get ahold of the new Naked2 Palette by Urban Decay?!! I have the first one and love it. I went into Sephora yesterday and they didnt have it yet. Sold out on the urbandecay site… Sephora said it will be in next week. Hopefully I can pick one up this holiday season.
Courtney says
Leg waxing is a real issue for me. (Is that weird or shallow? Maybe, but do I really care? Not so much. 😉 ) But, the thing is, I want to stick with waxing only, because I love the results, it’s just that the grow-out period kills me! I always end up falling back into shaving again due to some sort of event that requires a smooth leg before I am ready to wax. Oh well, the trials we face in the search for beauty. 😉
Aida says
I’m wearing OPI Muppets Collection color Meep-Meep-Meep. I love this color!!!
Joanna says
My nails are a bit brittle so I have on garlic nail hardener

I just got back from Sephor and spend enough today and from Black Friday to ensure VIB status for next year. I’m really loving the Kat Von D collection though I’m definitely buying UD Naked 2
Sara Roth says
I love this blog! I just finished up student teaching for this semester and I only have 4 papers to write and I’ll be done with the semester next Friday!!
Marina says
Naked2 is coming to Sephora online on the 27th of December and in-store on the 26th of January. I don’t have either Naked Palette and was planning on getting the first one before this came out. Now I’m not sure which one I want! HELP, Karen! I think I have warm undertones, but I know I have blue eyes, blond hair, and medium-fair skintone.
Jody says
I am so mad I bought the wrong YSL foundation at Sephora but I was in a rush since it was so crowded 🙁
gabby says
I cannot wear nail polish on my finger nails. Every time I get my nails done, it either starts peeling off or I myself begin chipping at it. I am intrigued to try the gel manicure. I wash dishes all throughout the day and refuse to wear gloves so my hands suffer:( Totally envious of all those pretty manicured hands.
bonnie says
man oh man, study break! i’ve been at school for the past 5 hrs! i’d rather be at home washing my make up brushes!!
Dee says
Most outrageous thing I’ve done with my makeup has been wearing onyx lip gloss. It was part of a Halloween costume though so unfortunately I’m not that daring 🙂
Sarah Wilson says
Amazing giveaway! Thanks for the oppertunity!!
Im exited for christmas, its my favorite holiday… But it really does suck to not be able to give because of being broke… I love to give and it hurts to not be able to..
Keep up your amazing work. You inspire me so much!!
XOXO,
Sarah (:
Jaa Maurer says
I dont have anything on my nails right now still deciding, anybody have suggestion on fun and festive colors?!?!

Too bad I don’t know how to operate a sewing ma-CHEEN!
Kimberly says
studying for finals is such a drag!
Macha says
Karen,
i hear you on being tired. I just woke up from a nice little nap after a very early and long day at work. Love the blog!
Eloize says
About time I go to Sephora. Merry Christmas!

Time to go visit sephora and get some blushes….i am into a blush a lot these days
Zoey says
I’m wearing bright blue nail polish with really gaudy glitter on top… and LOVING it 😀
Let says
I like seeing people cosplay-ing, but I don’t think I have the confidence to pull of the costumes.
Evelyn says
I’m ready for Sephora shopping too although I just saw Chanel spring stuff out on counters today!
Marian says
I only need to shave once a week. My legs aren’t very hairy. Unfortunately, since I am post-menopausal, I also have a mustache and a beard that need to be shaved once a week too! I use a Venus Divine tropical for my legs and my hubby’s electric razor for the beard and stash.
katie says
i really hope my naked2 palette gets here monday. the tracking says it’s in dsm today, which is about two hours away. i think i need psychological help with my UD obsession..
knownever says
loved that last nail tutorial you did!
christina says
My niece is into cosplay and I enjoy seeing her have so much fun with it and the makeup aspect but I couldn’t get into it myself 🙂
Daniela says
I loooooove to get dolled up for special occasions…..or no occasion at all 🙂
Cristy says
Lets give it another shot! Good Luck!!
Torrie says
I use Schick Quattro daily. It does a good job.
Aidan says
I will definitely be recycling my Halloween costume and cosplaying as Catwoman to my boyfriend’s Batman @ the new Batman premiere 🙂
Lisa says
I haven’t been out to Sephora in a while. I just placed an order with the $15 gift card I got from them!
Tukta says
wish they could open Sephora in Thailand
now I wish I would win this Ha Ha Ha
Kelsey says
How do you feel about cosplay and getting all made up for special events?
It’s not my thing, but I have a couple of friends who do it, and I have no problem with it.
What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever done with your makeup and/or hair?
Probably my Halloween costume a couple of years ago… I was a geisha, and I did the full-on white face paint and elaborately styled hair.
What are you wearing on your nails?
OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue!
How often do you de-fuzz your legs, and what kind of wax or razor do you use?
Not as often as I should! I can get away with doing it about once a week because I wear long pants most of the time. I use a plain ‘ol razor and shaving gel (Venus and Skintimate, respectively).
Hannah says
About to paint my nails with China Glaze’s Pelican Gray 🙂
Katie says
I always have a bunch of makeup that i want from sephora….i’m addicted 🙂
magda says
just got my sephora promotional gift card can’t make up my mind what to get 😉
Amanda G says
I’ve had it up to HERE with studying for my Organic Chemistry Mechanisms final. Gotta take a break to eat chocolate, watch TV, and paint my nails.
Monika says
Nails are short and nude right now. I’ve been waiting to buy the Nails Inc. top coat and base coat to do manicures since I want to quit my current top and base coats. I just hate that Seche Vite has toluene in it (yikes!), and I’m pretty sure that the Orly rubberizing base coat makes my nails even more susceptible to peeling.
Jessica says
I’m painting my nails with Revlons Facets of Fuchia. Doing that and reading your blog, pretty good Saturday night if you ask me 😉 Enjoy the rest of your weekend Karen.
C.M. says
My kitty sleeps curled up in a cute little ball sometimes too. He’s more likely to be stretched out on his back with his front paws covering his face, though!
Jennifer says
Just wondering what Tabs has on Christmas Wish List. But, with being a top cat super-model I cannot imagine there is much he does not have.
k romada says
still thinking what to get @ sephora. too bad naked 2 is not there yet
LauraA says
Hope that you make it to the Muppets, and enjoy the movie. It’s a charmer.
Thanks again for another wonderful giveaway opportunity, Karen! 😀
Tina Renee says
I am completely enamored with grey nail polish. I have a metallic shade on now called Freja by Zoya. So pretty on uber short nails!

I am in dire need for some grey boots
Julia says
I’m not wearing anything on my fingernails, but I’ve got the remnants of a pedicure done with one of OPI’s Serena Williams nail polishes on my toes. I’ve been doing a lot of running lately so I’ve worn the polish down to almost nothing. It’s a great purple color.
Soo says
I took an LSAT today, only my bf and family know about it. ..and I’m not looking forward to finding out what my score is 🙁

Already getting the holiday blues, I think… 🙁 On the cosplay note, going to the San Diego ComiCon and dressing as Dany from Game of Thrones is on my Bucket List.
Tania says
I have some light shimmery silvery color by Essie on my nails right now (don’t remember the color name). It’s chipping though so will need to repaint tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
Courtney says
I cannot paint my nails! All it takes is one tiny chip, and they drive me crazy! It’s like finding the fist few split ends on your hair…it’s never the same.
Holly says
I think my legs partook in no-shave November, too! Lol:)
Claire says
I wish I had more special events to do dramatic makeup looks for 🙂 and as to cosplay…still have yet to go to my first anime convention… :'( They always seem to happen at inconvenient times

Amy says
The craziest thing I ever did with my makeup was wear dark blue lipstick and light blue mascara together! I was in middle school, I would never be brave enough for that now.
Melissa says
It snow last night. Winter is here!
Kim Pincombe Cole says
Wearing bare nails right now. Probably a good thing, because I would have destroyed a good manicure after terrible Saturday I’ve had (someone stole my debit card # & made a $1900 purchase on walmart.com last night at 2:03am – acct now froze & I’m out that money to buy xmas presents until fraud case is resolved). UGH! Could use a little pick-me-up right about now :))
Kim Pincombe Cole says
Also tweeted giveaway info!

Audrey says
I literally just painted Essie’s Well Read on my fingers, it’s such a pretty red and I figured it fit the season, right? (;
singrsling says
my craziest makeup project was painting my face for Halloween in the “Calaveras” fashion. I got lots of compliments on it at the party I went to. I used eye and lip pencils and wet shadows, as well as paints from Kryolan to make the fancy designs.
I just put my hair back and wore all black to have the face stand out.
Anka says
I’m sporting a deep purply red on my toes and a boring old nude on my hands. Thanks for these giveaways! 🙂

Christine says
I LOOVEE your nails in the last post !!
elle says
Hahaha, I cosplay Sailor Mercury. And when I’m in costume I shave my legs, but otherwise I usually just let it grow–I don’t care enough to go through the hassle of defuzzing.
Nika says
Lol, I use a razor for my legs, and I hate how prickly the tiny stubs get, so I usually shave about twice or thrice a week. Some say that’s too often though, but oh well. 😛
Melina says
cosplay is cool but i wouth like to watch rather than being a cosplayer
i think it is hard to shave my legs using wax, so usually use razor by myself…..
Rochelle says
I went to a store called Rue21 and they had soo many cute clothes there. 🙂

aradhana says
the most outrageous thing i did with my hair would be a toss up between when i had a mohawk/mullet and when i shaved my head. though it may be bold sometimes, i don’t think my makeup is ever really ‘outrageous’, except for halloweens!
Mina says
Karen – I wanna win! xoxo
Mary says
Would love to win!! love Sephora
susah says
Ever since I graduated and started working, I haven’t worn nail polish on my fingernails because my workplace is so conservative. Which means all senior year I switched nail polish colors every few days to try to get it out of my system =)

Jen says
I like getting made up for events, a nice bout of eustress.
Guillermo says
For a while this summer, i had a lot of color highlights in my hair. Over the span of 2 months I had around 8 colors in my hair. But the wildest was during june, I called it pride hair. My base color was black, but I had the center area of my hair highlighted in yellow, green, purple, and hot pink, I know not a complete rainbow but it gave the feel of a rainbow. One of the perks of working at a salon.
MelodyJ says
I have Orly Nail Defense on my nails right now.

Jennifer says
I’m wearing a gorgeous nail polish by deborah lipmann that I borrowed from my best friend!
Emily says
As much as I love Miss Piggy, I think Kermit green eyeshadow is appropriate makeup to see the Muppets movie.
peach_ says
Ooo…I hope you wore some blingbling nails from the OPI Muppets collection! 😀 I had to wear somewhat professional colors on my nails today, so I’m wearing Dior Safari Beige.
I admit I don’t defuzz as often as I should in the colder months. I’m so jealous of my naturally hairless mother…her knees shine because of the hairlessness, plus her skin isn’t dry at all, even without lotion.
MJ says
Cosplay is awesome! Wish I had more time (and the body) to actually pull it off though. However, I’m currently in the process of helping out a male friend of mine prepare a cosplay for an upcoming convention…however he’ll be dressing up as a girl which is oodles of fun. XD
This whole thing though has kinda sparked an interest in makeup in him (however, he’s also an artist and has been wanting to understand how it works as he draws/colors more drawings of women’s faces.) 🙂 So much so that we’ve had the pleasure of going to places like Ulta and letting him try on makeup, which have ended in exchanges like the following:
“What do you mean blend out the foundation?”
“Blend it out so you don’t look all streaky. You’re an artist, you’ll get what I mean.”
“…OH! I get it!”
He loves Tarte’s Recreate Anti-aging Foundation, btw. ;3 I’ve been sending him here as well as Temptalia for tutorials. I absolutely love how open he’s been about this and I like having a male friend who’s interested and willing to learn about makeup. XD
Stephanie Fabian says
I shave once a week when my BF is not in town and twice a week when he is 😉
Flora Novak says
Your blog is so cool! I would love to win that card!

Shiribt says
The most outrageous thing I’ve ever done with makeup is this illamasqua inspired look:
http://mybeautyinbloom.blogspot.com/2011/10/inspired-makeup-illamasqua.html
Of course I didn’t leave the house with it on… 🙂
lindsay says
I’m a big fan of buffing my nails (that sounds so naughty, doesn’t it?), I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve put polish on them. My toes, on the other hand (or foot, I suppose), are a lovely shade of glittery dark blue.
Angela G. says
Dang girl ! You really took it back to the old school with The Gremlins. Awww, brings back memories from my childhood. My cousin used to have the Gizmo doll but would never let me play with it. That turkey! LOL Anywho, take it easy on those 80’s movies chick.. Next thing you know you’ll be posting hair references to the “Critters” movie. Damn I’m getting old. hehe =P
Jaymie says
Hmm…the most outrageous thing I’ve done to my hair is probably cut it short above my shoulders. The best haircut ever but couldn’t find my hairstylist after 🙁 Never can get a a good haircut like that again.
Alexis says
I use Gilette’s Venus razor to shave (the green & blue one). Thanks for the giveaway!

Chillin’ with Lush’s Volcano foot mask on my tootsies, at the moment, when I should be cleaning my room.
Procrastination at its finest. 😉
Sandy says
I’m working 7 days a week right up to Christmas — and what with an hour commute on either side of a 10 hour day have no time to defuzz, flat-iron, or do my face!!! My best Christmas present this year would be a whole day without work so I could perform some much-needed personal maintenance, lol.
Happy holidays to all!
Laura Cabezas says
Id’ love to try the new NYX Xtreme lip creme !

I would love to win
SatelliteDreamer says
I had such fun at Sephora yesterday. I picked up the store brand liquid liner in Black, and the UD Electric pencil set. Best part, I had the $20 off $50 email, so everything together was cheaper than the set of pencils. Woohoo!! I also got hooked up with lots of samples 🙂
Kailey says
i’m currently wearing OPI’s it’s my year from the miss universe collection. (:

My two cats have a 6 foot tall cat tower and my boyfriend is the only one that can walk up to it and look them in the eyes, ergo he pesters them constantly…and they adore him for it.
Jamie Rebecca says

Kathryn says
No polish on, my nail polish has been very neglected recently.
Grace says
This would be the most perfect way to celebrate the end of finals this coming week!!
Kelly says
During the winter I don’t shave my legs as often as a should. It’s pretty sad when my 4 yr. old son comes and hugs me around my legs and says ” Mommy you are so spiky.”
Amber says
It snowed here in Minnesota yesterday! 🙂 So to celebrate, I’m going and getting a mani and pedi today!
Dominique D says
I’m currently wearing OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight.

I got made up just last night to go out to dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I love the Christmas parties this time of year too – I get to be all glam and have an excuse. lol
Liz says
The most outrageous thing I ever did with hair and makeup was the 1980’s. Seriously. The worst of it was from 1985-1988, but I think the whole decade counts.
*shudder*
Roya says
fab giveaway! 🙂 i’m about to paint my nails the new blue Zoya color I got from Birchbox…can’t remember the name…
Maryam says

Thanks for the giveaway!

I just painted me toes with OPI’s What’s With the Cattitude? and put snowlakes on the big toes with a bit of siver glitter in the middle!
Chelsea says
I would love to do cosplay, I love costumes. I just don’t have that much time!
I’ve been using the Walgreens brand 5 blade razor for women, and I LOVE IT. I get a really good shave, and the refill cartridges are super cheap. I tried the EOS shave cream, and I love it.
Something Purple says

The craziest thing I’ve ever done with my makeup was trying to recreate 80s glam last Saturday at our 80s party! I went for bring colors and over extension of shadow past my eyes and really pink lips and cheeks! It was so fun! =) That night I applied and fell in love with Ardell lashes #113. Check them out too Karen and followers!
Carolyn says
I have a few friends who cosplay, and while I don’t think I’d ever do it myself it sure does sound like fun!
Kaianne says
Right now I’m wearing Orly’s Luxe on my nails which is just gold lame, and it’s so festive and shiny. I can’t stop looking at my fingers!
Amanda says
Right now the only thing on my nails are the remnants from gel nails that I couldn’t get off with acetone. They’re irritating me that I can’t get it off!

My favourite christmas drink is hands down the gingerbread latte from Starbucks! I have yet to try the eggnog though.
Michelle says
I’ve been too busy shopping and decorating for Christmas to paint my nails! I hope I can get that done tonight, they are in a terrible state!
Christie says
I’ve got a classic cherry red from Essie on my nails right now. It feels both classic and festive at the same time.
BeckBeck says
I’m doing a month of epically festive nails – I’ve got China Glaze Poinsettia on with a coat of China Glaze White Cap on top. Would’ve worked a little better if White Cap didn’t have a sliiiight green flash – I might try this again with a green creme base!

i love the holidays and sephora
Jess says
Do not shave (except for big swim meets), since I have very thin, sparse hairs on my arms and legs. It isn’t even worth it since they aren’t noticeable at all….Asian legs ftw 😀
Sara says
@Jess — same here! Love having barely there Asian leg hair! I shave maybe once every 6 weeks (if I remember!).
Sam says
Love your blog! 🙂
I just redid my nails last night…they were way overdue. I’m currently wearing one of my faves, OPI’s Under My Trench Coat.

Right now I’m wearing on my nails China Glaze “Midnight Kiss” from their holiday collection last year. I wanted the shiny gold for my holiday party last night! Might have to add some purple sparkles on top to make it an LSU mani! I’ll prob use the technique you’ve been posting!

Michelle B. says
My nails are all tore up right now. When I get stressed out, I tend to pick at them (gross I know, grad school is rough). On my toes, however, is a lovely shade of dark blue from Zoya. Love their nail polish, it doesn’t chip for anything!
Becky says
I need this!
Hailey says

It is ridiculously cold! Though I love the Christmas season and how happy everyone is, the one thing that gets me is the weather! I’m definitely a summer baby at heart. I love your blog! Thanks for all your advice 🙂
Aysha Habib says
I have 7 different nail polish colors on my nails right now…it’s ridiculous but at least it helped me narrow down the most flattering colors for my skintone 🙂
Karen M. says
Had a great day with my husband and son. 🙂
Corie says
I’m wearing Zoya’s Holly on my nails and love it!
Carrie Ann says
I am wearing OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air on my nails. I’ve never done anything too crazy with my hair or makeup, unless you count dressing up for Halloween. The most outrageous thing I’ve done would be smoky eyes or a little glitter.
Shelly says
Thanks for the giveaway Karen! =]
Yumi says
Thank you for the giveaway! :), One of the most daring thing i ever done with make up is, I had run out of eyeshadow primer, there was this revlon cream eyeshadow palette I had hidden away cause I cold never find a use for it until I wonder maybe it can help make my eyeshadow stay better since it was creamy and a little bit sticky, so I gave it a go then voila it did help my shadows last a little longer but not as great as actual primers. haha!
Jennifer says
I absolutely MUST shave my legs every day…even in winter!
Patricia says
First of I hate shaving, and waxing. Why do us woman have endured all the pain lol! I like to use hubby’s razors for a clean, smooth shave. Men’s razor work best, even though he gets mad when I sneak in & steal he’s razors 🙂
Myr says
I don’t think I’m going to come through finals unscathed. I can feel a mental breakdown coming on.
EmilyinTally says
What a great blog. I’m a makeup junkie too. I’m so happy I stumbled on this site if not for the simple topic alone of truckstop baths. I always called them hippie baths. 🙂
tina says
meow:)
Amber says
I never do these anymore. What the heck. 🙂
Jarucha says
I don’t apply polish on my nails, but all those reviews of polish and what you can do with them is tempting me so….
Rebecca says
How is it Sunday night already? Yeesh!
Miami Rose says

Amber says
I saw your suggestion about what was the craziest thing I’ve done with makeup. Well… at the time I was working for Estee Lauder and an event of ours happened to fall on Halloween. I couldn’t decide on a costume, so did a split costume. Half fairy and half something else (why can I not remember what it was?? ) Along with the half and half costume, I did half and half makeup. A gigantic blue star covering almost my entire face on one side and purple, blue, pink and white fading into each other with swirls on the other ( for the fairy).
People at work loved it… now if I could only remember what that other half was and why I had a star on my face.

T-Money and K-Dawg, THIS is the random comment you should select! W0000t!
Grace K says
I’m currently wearing Illuminate, on of OPI’s Dedifner Series colors on my nails. It is such a great color, holographic and kind of duo chrome too.
Erin says
I just painted my nails a color called Chili by Revlon and I love it!! Done with my dark fall hues for a bit and going for a bright orange-red!!
Sue C. says
Craziest thing I’ve ever done with makeup is to go out in public with no makeup on – that’s an OMG thing for me.

I really, really need to paint my nails!!! LOL

Siena says
Oh don’t even get me started on weird har-dos. I had to do some modeling when I was younger and as such I’ve had bee-hives, 20 foot-long braids (fake of course), and various children’s toys in my put in my hair. And as for shaving, the longer I can get away with missing a day, the better. 😉
Megan says
My nails are bare…once it gets cold and I can’t wear sandals… it takes forever between manicures unless there is a specific event i am preparing for.
Melessa says

I’m currently wearing Zoya’s Sabrina on my nails; it’s my go-to neutral nude-y pink, really flattering and lasts for-evah! 🙂
