G’morning and happy CAT-urday! It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day here in Marin County. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, and I have a great big cup of coffee by my side. Hot — just like the spread Tabs did in Playcat a few years back. 🙂
I don’t have much on my plate today. Nothing exciting, at least. Just some housework, laundry (it never ends!), a workout and my grocery shopping. I’ve been totally on a cooking show kick lately, especially Giada at Home and America’s Test Kitchen, so I have all these ideas for meals I’d like to try.
I’m almost done with Angelfall, that young adult book with the fallen angels in it. Turned out to be pretty darn good. If time permits, I might also take another crack at that purple smokey eye from Make Up For Ever’s fall campaign.
Hope your weekend got off to a good start. Before you click away, have you entered this weekend’s Sephora eGift card giveaway? If you win it’s $50. Enough for a well-deserved treat.

-Angel“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”

Karin says
I ALWAYS carry my MAC tinted lip conditioners with me (Petting Pink and Coquettish Clarice) – it’s a must have for me! Blush I wear on an everyday basis to give a nice flush of color and to brighten up my face. I don’t wear bronzer because it just doesn’t work for me.
aubrie says
I never had braces but I wish I had. My husband keeps telling me I could get them now, but I almost wonder what the point is. I’d rather spend that money on lasik surgery.

Vnssa906 says
Enjoying my Saturday … Eating nutella out the container with my fingers, catching up on my google reader, watching the hubs play call of duty.
Soo says
I love/hate cooking shows. on the one hand, it’s really interesting to how creative people can be with foods, but I want a bite of everything! I heard recently that there is a legally blind woman on Master Chef who is actually quite talented, which I think is pretty cool.
I’ve had braces twice, wear a retainer every night, and my teeth still move 🙁
it was such an ordeal to get them the first time around because my teeth are rather large. I had to get four adult teeth removed before braces, then later on had all four wisdom teeth that needed removal as well. teeth problems were the bane of my existence when I was younger!
Chris25 says
I like green grapes.
Hazel says
Got a paper due on Monday and I’m not even halfway done yet! Gaah! Have a great weekend, everyone!
TwirlyGirly says
Love that you’re a cat person, too. I lost my beloved Ebenezer this week – he was 19 years old (older than my daughter!) and so we had a lot of history together. Very sad, of course. Take good care of that “Tabs” of yours and cherish every minute you have with him! Here’s my tweet link: https://twitter.com/TwirlyGirly1/status/234357116700352512

About to watch the last day of the Olympics esp the Track and Field segment.
Sarah says
I love cooking shows! Anything Top Chef, Chopped, and Around the World in 80 Plates are my favorites.
auroragyps says
My newest celebrity crush is Lex Medlin who plays Judge Owen French on Drop Dead Diva. I just think he’s super cute & I love the way he plays the character. I still have yet to see anything else of his work. The funny thing is, Drop Dead Diva is the kind of show I usually do not watch, but I actually really like it and Lex.
Laura H says
I ALWAYS have at least two lip pies in my purse. One nude, one bright.
Yuri says
I started wearing blush about a month ago
Michelle says
I never wear blush- no matter how light a dusting any MUA places on my face, I look really clownish! 🙁
Kristi says
Blush is a daily beauty product for me – don’t leave home without it on! I enjoy cooking shows – watching often jumpstarts the creative juices flowing for something to be made in the kitchen.
Melissa says
Hi Karen! I hope you, Tabs, and your Hubby are having a great weekend!
I just discovered the wonders of bronzer. I use to shy away from that and blush because I’ve seen them both applied horribly. I realized you don’t have to cake it on. You can look natural, but better, when you wear bronzer or blush or both together.
My current celebrity crush is Jeremy Renner. He’s a good looking, talented actor, that you could take about makeup with. What’s more to love? I also have always loved Robert Downey Jr.
I tweeted about the giveaway here https://mobile.twitter.com/rileymariesmom/status/234363191126269952
Sophie says
Wheee I love these 🙂 So sad that the Olympics will be over soon!
Luciana Diniz Lima says
Just baked a chocolate cake for my husband!
Michelle says
Happy Saturday! My one thing that I always keep in my purse is lip balm, it drives me crazy to not have anything on my lips. Also, my newest celeb crush is that guy from This Means War, Warrior, Inception & The Dark Knight Rises. I have to learn his name lol
Lydia L says
My celebrity crush was Larenz Tate!!!…. Think about the movie “Love Jones!”…enough said.
KPrice says
I need blush every day. Otherwise I look way too pale. I’m always on the lookout for the perfect blush though. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway – have a good weekend.
Kate says
I never really saw the point of blush, being of the fair-skinned rosy-cheeked variety, but somewhere between college and starting a full-time job some years ago, I realized there were some days I legitimately needed a good pick-me-up in the face. And now I don’t leave the house without at least a dusting of Dandelion or Sugarbomb. 🙂 On the days I really need it, Tarte’s Flush is AMAZING and puts life back on my face. That should be good, right? Of course not. Now I’ve started getting into NARS blushes (I’ve always been in love with Orgasm and its lovely glow). Amour and Outlaw have been added to my collection and I have to say…they’re lovely. NARS’ formula is just fantastic.
Valerie says
Hi Karen!
I’ve never had braces. I enjoy cooking shows but never have the opportunity to watch them; don’t have enough time for tv.
I LOVE blush. NARS is obviously my favorite but I also like Tarte, MAC, and Benefit. I recently started playing with bronzer. As an NC42 its hard to find a good one. I like Too Faced Chocolate Soliel.
Karen M. says
I love cooking shows!
Melissa says
Blush is my kryptonite! I fall to my knees and break out my wallet every time.
Emily says
I have no money for makeup! poor me!

MJ says
Always have my Revlon lip butter in pink truffle on me :3
Julie says
Love reading your blog. Whenever I am in the market for new cosmetics, I check out your product reviews! They are invaluable :).
Melissa F says
My long time celebrity crush is Channing Tatum.
Ester Y says
I’ve been cooking more lately, as well.. one of my favorite blogs to reference is thepioneerwoman.com..however, even if i follow recipes to a T, my food never ever turns out right!! very frustrating!!
oh and for blush…ALWAYS! always, always, always, ALWAYS! i look dead without it!
Lulle says
I had braces for, like, 4 years, and my teeth are still not aligned perfectly well… I hated it so much!! It almost gave me a dentist phobia… aah being a teenager sucked sometimes.
I wear blush whenever I do any makeup at all, which is usually almost everyday.
sweeks1980 says
I always have at least one lip balm in my purse.
I like some cooking shows – my favorites are “Good Eats” reruns and anything hosted by Nigella Lawson 🙂
jen. says
I had braces three times. I’ve had pretty much every dental procedure ever, though (except for having a tooth pulled, thank goodness!).
Tiffanie says
I just got the new Guerlain lipstick/gloss/stain! Love it!
mrsshukra says
Watching old Quantum leap episodes today!
tiffany says
I love me some johnny Depp and Matthew mcconaughey
leetal says
i had braces and while it wasn’t pretty and grateful because i had a really awful mouth. they wanted me to do surgery to fix my overbite and that’s when i said no way… so i have straight teeth but an overbite. not a big deal at all. a little character never hurt anyone.
Melodyy says
I love cooking shows 🙂 Food Network is one of my favorite channels. I always have a lip product (Jack Black Lip Balm). I used to wear braces, one of the worst times of my life..
Amy Chamberlain says
do you like cooking shows? Yes, Love the Barefoot Contessa, she makes everything look so simple.
Who’s your current celebrity crush? Lara Spencer
What’s one beauty product that’s always in your purse? Lip Gloss
Did you wear braces? No
How often do you wear blush? Always
What’s your stance on bronzer? It’s better than tanning
Lynn says
hmm.. i haven’t worn blush in awhile. i have some cream and powder but i never used the cream because it comes off so bright on my face, i totally wasted a lot of money on that. Now i’m too lazy to put on anything beyond foundation. If i win i would use it to buy skin care, because I want to have a fresh face look.
LauraA says
Definitely had braces. Not a lot of fun and my teeth shifted afterward again. Kinda not worth it.
Thank you for another great giveaway opportunity Karen!
Denise says
I always have several lip products in my purse. Gloss, balm, lipstick. I hardly use them, but I always carry them just in case. I’m not sure what “in case” is. Some kind of lip emergency I guess. lol
Barbara says
I always carry several lip products in my purse. A lip balm I put on multiple times everyday , lip gloss I hardly ever wear, and a lipstick “for special occasions”.
I also have a pressed powder which I never use except for the mirror.
Rikki says
I wore braces.
Krista Payne says
Love me some Sephora and your blog!
Kate & Zena says
I’m going bowling with my MC friends!
Alison says
I really only wear bronzer as a contour, not all over.
S says
Celebrity crushes… mmm, currently I’m loving Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, and Marina Diamandis!
Michelle says
I won’t go anywhere without lipgloss! Even if I’m running late and forget it, I always run back into the house to grab it.
Mary says
Ugh, I NEVER get to wear blush! It’s no fair. 🙁 I have rosacea so unless I lay on the liquid foundation in multiple layers, I’m always flushed. Some of my friends have told me it’s fantastic because they hate putting on blush to get that flushed look. My problem is that mine isn’t the adorable just-on-the-apple-of-my-cheeks kind of flush, it’s the “I put on blush really heavy then it rained so it’s streaming down the sides of my mouth” flush. And forget doing anything more strenuous than walking a block or two, the second I start building up my heart rate, I look like I have a fever.
tabby says
Could really use a pick-me-up. I always wind up spending my store gift cards on my husband & son. Would love to win this one so I wouldn’t get coaxed into spending it on someone else!! lol
Rachel says
I wear blush every day, but I just can’t figure out bronzer! Where do I put it? Do I want it to be seen, or is it something I need to blend, blend, blend? I’m a complete bronzer newb! LOL
Theresa says
The one product I always have in my purse is eyeliner. I love that stuff.
Julie says
I love blush, but it’s the one product I always forget about applying in the morning. I should wear it more often because I’m quite pale.
Megan says
I rarely use bronzer only because I’m so pale and I end up looking dirty instead of tan.
Janelle says
The only cooking show I watch is Pioneer Woman. Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! Try to stay cool on this heatwave weekend!
Barbara says
OMG! I didn’t know the Pioneer Woman had a cooking show. I’ve read her books and must check this out! I learn about so much more than makeup from this blog.
Susie says
My current celebrity crush is Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad. His combination of pathos and charisma is hard to resist and I always want to give him a hug! Great actor!
Amanda says
I need a new foundation but can’t decide which to get next! I’m interested in the new Urban Decay Naked Skin, Tarte Amazonian Clay or Chanel Lumineire…
Zoey says
Eric from True Blood
Jackie says
Have a wonderful day(:
LaToya says
HIYA, Karen! I have been following Tabs the Cat (and you, of course) for quite some time. My husband is always wondering where my fascination with makeup and beauty products comes from and I would have to say that it has been cultivated by you! LOL. Yours was the first beauty blog I ever read and I am still a loyal reader today! Thank you! 🙂

E. says
I’ve only started to wear bronzer over the last year or so – I use it for contouring.
Happy weekend!

I love tinted lip balms, because they look so natural.

Blair says
Thanks for such a great blog! Love your unsung hero articles 🙂
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
I don’t have braces and I never thought I’d say this, but I REALLY want them! I was so stupid–after years of having braces in middle school, I had *perfect* teeth (sigh…I miss them so) but being the dummy that I am, I proceeded to wear my retainer once after getting them off and then never wore them again. Now, after my wisdom teeth have mostly grown in, they’ve pushed all my teeth forward–mainly my bottom ones. So i’ve got some gnarly crooked bottom teeth and a pretty bad overbite on top :/ I REALLY really want to get them fixed. WHYYY are braces so expensive!!!!
Janet says
Hi Karen! Ok, here’s my current list of celebrity crushes: Chris Hemsworth, Sam Worthington, JEREMY RENNER (just recently) and Keifer Sutherland (for eva!) LOL! Have a great weekend!

lori says
I wear bronzer almost every day, as long as it’s a matte bronzer. I don’t do shimmer.
Verena says
Hi there Karen & Tabs!
First of all: Karen, I love your blog although you were the reason my wallet gets slimmer and slimmer and my makeup drawer cabinet flows over with stuff…. In that cabinet, you can find a couple of blushes, my alltime favourite is benefits coralista! Bronzerwise I’m also a benefit girl: Hoola, cause it’s neither leaning too warm nor too cold, I don’t use it everyday though!
My celebrity crush is Adam Rodriguez of CSI Miami, good Lord, he is SO hot, grrrrr!!
Have a great Sunday and keep up the great work!
Hugs, Verena

I know, I know….a strange mix of dudes, but I truly LUST after them all!!!!!!

I am so sad.
Chelsea says
Karen, if you were only permitted to wear one brand of makeup for the next year, which brand would you choose?
-Chelsea
Jane says
love your blog!
Daniella says
I wish I could wear blush better, my skin is so ruddy so it looks ridiculous to add blush on top of ruddiness. I really do love pinky golds and peachy gold shades so some days I try to do a really good job concealing the redness and add a tiny bit of blush.
NeenaJ says
I have an on-again, off-again relationship with cooking shows. Currently, I’m in the off phase but, I did catch some if Rick Bayless’s show on PBS last week and it was awesome.
Vanessa F says
I love wearing just a little blush. I don’t like the very heavy blush on me but a little just finishes off my makeup.
Icequeen81 says
https://twitter.com/GodChild81MA/status/234425796150841344 twitter link

Sara says
I finally found Pukka tea at my local supermarket! I’m so excited to finally try it after seeing the yummy pictures on your blog. 😀
April says
I’m testing out Tarte Airbrush Marajuca Bouncy Blush in Shimmering Poppy…whew…long name..at the moment. So far I really like the color. They say it’s like a cream blush version of Amused. Loving it so far.
Sonja says

Hey Karen!
I think your blog is fabulous! Actually, so does Charcoal (Char Char)! We are both big fans of you and Tabs!! I think they would be great fashionista friends! Our favorite item would have to be Urban Decay’s 24/7 eyeliner in perversion. Char can’t resist a good cat eye. 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend!!

Yes, I love cooking shows! I have to avoid them because, when I’m watching, I just end up thinking about how much I want all the drool-worthy food RIGHT at that moment. I love Giada and Nigella’s shows.
Lora says
I’m sitting here reading your blog and all of the sudden my front door swings open….in walks my 13 yr old from his trip to the store up the street. It’s times like this that I don’t mind having a teenager….other times, it’s war LOL

I watch a lot of the cooking shows on PBS and the Food Network mostly to watch someone else cook since it’s a lot more relaxing (and less calories) than when I cook. My current favorite shows are the Food Network’s ‘Best Thing I Ever Ate” and “Best Thing I Ever Made” – so much fun to see where the food stars like to eat and like to make.
Kelsey says
Thanks for all these great Sephora giveaways!

I always have a lip balm, especially the newer ones that include a hint of color. Makes me feel like I am doing something healthy for my lips, while giving them a nice sheen of color too! The Covergirl Natureluxe balms are nice, and the Say Yes to Carrots tinted line is great without being sticky. So I don’t have to worry about cat fur getting stuck to my lips when I snuggle my felines…:)

When I went for a walk today, I walked past a hedge. Underneath the hedge there was three cats sleeping! I think it was a mother cat and two kittens. I stopped to talk to them, but they didn’t care much, even though I patted one of the kittens on its nose! The mother cat and one of the kittens looked like your cat, and I was reminded of your great blog.
karen says

I love the food network but it always makes me hungry! I wish I could cook well, I’d love to try some of the recipes.

Elle

Cassie says
I ALWAYS have lipstick in my purse. I’m a lipstick fanatic. I have a 4-step process: first, I apply a lip stain to help keep my color lasting longer. Next, I apply lipstick. After that, I line my lips with a pencil and top it off with a dab of gloss in the center of my bottom lip. (It’s caramel latte flavor–yummy!)
AG says
Good luck with the purple smokey eye look! If anyone can make those cream shadows work, it’s you!

Mikhaela K. says
I don’t watch cooking shows as much as read cooking websites. Specifically, Smitten Kitchen. The pictures? I just die!
Christine says
I have temporarily stopped using any lip products except my NYC lip stain in forever freesia and lip balm! It’s so comfy, but no risk of getting the lip color on anything else. I think I’ll either try clinique’s chubby sticks, almost lipsticks, or the revlon balm stains next.
Keyana says
I must always have lip balm with me! Dry ashy lips are so bothersome : )

Okay, I just bought my first bronzer (vs. using free ones I’ve gotten as free gifts with purchase) and I cannot figure out how to make it look…you know…natural! Bronze-y! Sun-kissed! I am pretty sure I look like someone smudged dirt on my face 🙁

I had braces from 8th grade to my sophomore year. I was so happy when they came off! Now if I can just remember to wear my retainer…
Lili says
I just got my braces off a year ago.

We had to take our dog to the vet yesterday. (Routine visit) The meds we give him for sedation when flying do not make or keep him asleep so he was prescribed Xanex! MY DOG!!! We had to go to Target and get his rx filled because they do not stock it at the vet. His little red Target bottle has a green ring and says his name Mo P…… So weird that my dog was prescribed Xanex! He may be just a bit of a diva!

Jocelyn H says
No need for me to watch cooking shows, my husband is amazing in the kitchen and that works out perfect because I HATE to cook. But I can bake! 🙂 Happy Sunday Funday!
Jenny says
Oh yeah, I had braces for 5 years. My teeth still aren’t perfect – I’d need jaw surgery to fix it all. Sigh! But it’s still an improvement, I guess. Hope you had a great weekend!
Isabel says
My current celebrity is Lee Pace. It has been for awhile, he’s great in Pushing Daisies, and I absolutely loved him in The Fall!

I’m working weekends right now, and bronzer just makes me feel better about it. It perks up my tired, tired skin and helps me face the day.
tiffany says
I have a crush on alton brown.
