“Mrrrrow…” Tabs grumbled to himself. His nemesis, the blue kitty from the house down the hill, was already there, reaching up for what looked like the last box of Caudalie fur cream.
Blast! Tabs had been waiting for this day for weeks, the first annual Bring Your Cat to Sephora Day, and he’d planned to get to the store early, hopefully beating the other cats to the best stuff.
The details were all supposed to have been taken care of. His assistant got him up early and prepped his morning gravy, but the special fur and makeup team he’d hired for the occasion were held up in traffic on the 101.
Unbelievable. The Navy Seals of the feline fur and makeup worlds, and they get waylaid by a little traffic? It’s called problem solving, people!
Cats were everywhere in the store, snatching up all the best products. “Mrow!” Briefly, Tabs considered using brute force to wrest the box of Caudalie cream from the blue kitty’s paws, but with so many witnesses around…
Oh, well, Tabs thought to himself, there’s always next year.
Good morning, glory! 🙂 Hope your weekend got off to a great start. No complaints out here. I ended up not going to that party in the city last night. 11 p.m. was just too late for me, so I just watched some TV until I passed out.
This is random, but I just had the most amazing meyer lemon croissant. Perfectly flaky, buttery layers, and the lemony parts weren’t too sweet or heavy. It was like eating a fluffy, buttery, lemony pastry cloud…
Anywho, while I relive that awesome croissant in my daydreams, have you entered this weekend’s $50 Sephora eGift card giveaway yet? I hope you do, and don’t forget — there are two ways to win.
What folks are saying…
“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-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!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

Elin says
Last time I went to Sephora was like two weeks ago. I need to go again ASAP!
Rachel says
I just went to Sephora on Monday – my birthday!! 😀 I got the NARS Vent Glace duo, High Society trio, a little Tokidoki palette, and then got my bday gift and 100 point gift!! 😀 I still need the rest of the NARS fall collection – the lip products are amazing!
Toby says
I am absolutely TERRIBLE at numbers. At some point, maths stopped being fun, & it all went downhill from there…!
cathy says
I was at sephora not long ago!!.. was so tempted to get some benefit stuff.. but passed on it =)
Brooke says
I haven’t been to a physical Sephora (even though we have one in the mall locally) in about 3 years; however, I shop on Sephora.com ALL the time! I placed my last order a few weeks ago for my bday.
Astrid says
Hi, Karen! I love your blog and your awesome giveaways 😀 I just want to tell you that I want everything from Feelunique’s sale.. *sigh*
Larie says
I went to Sephora a few days ago to check for the new MUFE brow things, but they didn’t have them yet 🙁
Alix says
I went to Sephora yesterday, and managed to walk out empty-handed — NOT a frequent occurrence! Like the new Nail Studio bar; don’t like the fact that they’re minimizing the number of makeup try-on stations at the end-caps.
marisol says
Meyer lemon croissant!!! What the what! Where can I get that?
April says
Whenever I need to think, I usually go find some enclosed space. I’ll even sit in my closet! I have no idea why I do that. So strange >_
Daniella says
Last time I went to sephora (about three weeks ago) I went in with the intention of buying Nars Mascate..But at the last second I talked myself out of it and wound up buying a cheap drugstore red lipstick instead 😉
Lisa Brown says
I have only shopped at Sephora one time online.
Roxanne says
The last time I went to Sephora I impulse-bought a bottle of Coach Poppy. Best impulse buy ever.
karen says
Love the main post image (as usual). I often wish that there was such a thing as take-your-pet-to-work day, but realistically I know that my kitties would be traumatized by the commute (they HATE going in the car and cry like they are being tortured throughout even the shortest drive).
Hope you are having a nice weekend!
Shaylee says
My brother and his girlfriend got a kitten yesterday and named him Dolce! He’s so adorable, I miss when my kitties were little – now they are HUGE! haha
Nicolle says
Karen, you’re awesome for having this giveaway every week! Thank you!!
Hazel says
Long weekend here! Happy weekend guys!

If I where to work for a makeup/beauty line it would be MUFE. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Brittany says
Last time I was at Sephora, I wasn’t going in looking for anything in particular (never a good idea!) and left with two YSL lipsticks and a Dior gloss. I have no self control in that store!
ceci says
Happy Saturday, everyone!
Yesenia says

Michelle says
I want to work for Bare Escentuals!
Wayne says
I’m full of catnip.
Joyce says
I’m sure Tabs won’t mind hitting up another Sephora store to find the Caudalie fur cream or he could go down the hill to the blue kitty’s house and claw it away! =) heheh..kidding
Katrina says
Unfortunately I don’t have a Sephora near me but I did just get an order from them Wednesday!
Ellen says
I’m actually going to Sephora today! I could take my cat but I don’t think the mall people would be pleased.
The Sephora by my house is in a dog friendly mall, so I can take my baby girl there. She likes it when people tell her she’s a pretty puppy 🙂
Luciana Diniz Lima says
Never been to sephora
Megan says
It’s been an entire year since I’ve been to a Sephora store, since there isn’t one around me. I could shop online, but I like being able to test to makeup.
Tamara Boling says
I am eating waffles and eggs right now and would love to go to sephora right now, if I win! I last went 2 weeks ago. Just poking around, you know. The usual. 🙂

Cam says
I love your blog! I find the product reviews really helpful, and I always look forward to your Sunday with Tabs post.
Kristi says
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been to Sephora. Am itching to go & check out some fall colors in person. Need to be patient though as I know it’s too early for them to have some of those things in store yet.
Jana Ricketts says
I was at sephora last Tuesday :]

I went to Sephora about two weeks ago, and I’ll probably go this coming Friday.
Nou says
The last time I went to the Sephora was a couple months ago…
Carol says
I think the last time I went to Sephora was last year. It was the first and only time I’ve gone to Sephora. I wanted to check out the makeup but the mix of perfume scents when I entered the store were too overpowering for me to handle. I had to leave immediately.
Shana says
I totally wish I could work for Chantecaille … I’d make big use of that discount!
margie says
I love maxi dresses in the summer!

I went to sephora before I left Holland I got a solid Barbie Perfume , it was lovely
Soo says
I wouldn’t be able to function at a Bring Your Cat to Sephora Day, my allergies would drive me nuts. it’s sad because I actually really like cats, I think they’re adorable.
I’m super excited for next Tuesday to arrive, because I can’t wait until I finally get to see le bf after not seeing him for about six months! hope you have a great weekend, Karen~
nabel says
I’d work for Urban Decay creating eyeshadow colors!
Georgiana says
I just found a sweet, old Stevie Nicks demo + it’s a real warm evening – this has been a good day!
jaymie says
I was just at Sephora the other day! I was there for a very long time looking for glittery eye shadow. Debating if i should get Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure in Nude. It is so beautiful and sparkly! Still gotta make a decicion…..
Laura Case says
This beach weather is bringing out a lot of jay walkers!
Mary Ann Dennis says
I love Sephora. I could definitely use some back to school makeup. Wait … Is it weird for a 29 year old to say that?
Lili says
I’de like to work for MAC
jenny says
My dog would be like my boyfriend at Sephora… totally bored! Lol. Now if I were to have another pet it would definitely be baby tiger cubs like these ones just born at the zoo where I live. Going to see them tomorrow. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oDDqeuVuhY
Kim Law (kimmydadiva) says
If I won this gift card i would so be in Sephora buying NARS blush/lipstick.
Gabby T says
I have never taken my kitties to work but wish I could!
Amanda says
It’s been so long since I actually walked into a sephora. Probably about 2 years.
Kim Pincombe Cole says
Such a funny post! Love Tabs 🙂
My bichon frise rescue dog ran out the door with my husband the other day & jumped into his car as he was leaving for work. She’s never done that before in the 2 years we’ve had her (she hates riding in cars!) – decided she thought it was ‘take your dog to work day’…
Happy Saturday!
Kprice says
I went to Sephora yesterday during lunch. It was a bad work week and I needed to get out. I didn’t end up getting anything (couldn’t decide and didn’t have much time) but it was so nice to take a break and just browse for awhile. Have a good weekend.
Kim Pincombe Cole says

Nikki I says
At the moment, my favorite eyeshadow combination is a layer of Sephora’s “ENGAGEMENT RING” eyeshadow with MAC’s “REFLECTS BRONZE” glitter pigments on top.
Rhia says
Haven’t been to Sephora in a good while. Usually I just browse when I’m in there, but winning this gift card will be a very good incentive to return.
Ana says
I went to Sephora two days ago. I bought the Benefit How to Look Good at Everything and a Coach Poppy rollerball.
Amanda G says
What’s brown and sticky?
A stick.
Sydney Durr says
i just got my school schedule and i’m not liking it… 🙁
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
Tango is not an outdoor cat at all, but he enjoys taking a walk with me. By that I mean I hold him like a baby and walk a couple of blocks (usually in autumn when the weather’s nice and cool) so that he can look around. Last time we did this he met the neighborhood black-and-white kitty! That one usually doesn’t let strangers get close, but I walked up to him with Tango and they sort of avoided eye contact… which I guess is better than trying to claw each other’s eyes out!
Ash G says
Whenever I need to think I head to the lake. The rhythm of the water calms me down and clears my head.
Rachel B. says
Loving Sephora online. Much easier to find the things that I like! Saw the Chicago air and water show… nice!!! If you get a chance, go see it!
Portia Powell says
I haven’t been to Sephora since early Spring. This would be a terrific gift for Fall finds.
Jenn says
I was in Sephora a month ago, but ordered online last week 😉 I need the GC because I am going to Esthetician school starting in a few weeks and will have no fun money for 37 weeks! *whimper whimper lol*
Jahmaiah says
Finally condensed my makeup wishlist! Multitaskers are a must. I’ve come to terms with my short eyelashes, I’ll have fun with falsies on weekends, it took me FOREVER to learn how to apply strip lashes. Practice makes perfect!
Brandi says
I wish I could go to Sephora more often. The closest one to me is two hours away! But thank God for online shopping! :))
Jessica Kottoor says
Haha if only we could actually bring cats to sephora!
Ree says
I lil to randomly do the robot to pass the time.
Rachelle says
Last time I was at sephora was last week. I’ve been wanting to get some new stuff!
Ana Ribeiro says
I work at home, so my cat is always “at work” with me! 🙂
I’m waiting for my 50 dollar gift card to go to Sephora! 😀

Vikki M. says

Follow on twitter @mefink
Chloe says
I went to sephora a few weeks ago to get an eyelash curler 🙂
Jane says
Way to start my day with a smile. Amber and Jeremiah will be bummed when they learn they missed “Take You Car to Sephora Day”. Your lemon croissant sounds delish, BTW. I hope I win! If I do, I really don’t want to share my haul with the cats. . .
Lynn says
Haven’t been to Sephora in months, it’s killing me but I gotta save. And if i could work for a beauty company it would be for Tarte …but why not just work for Sephora right? i wonder what their employee discount is like?
Have you ever painted Tabs’ nails or dyed his hair? I wouldn’t to my pets but I would give them cute hair cuts:)
Lucia says
I haven’t been to sephora in more than 2 months because I haven’t been wanting anything cosmetics-related, but I’m thinking of going there soon to get backups of my HG lip balm, jack black!!
Ali says
I have actually never been to a Sephora. There isn’t one close to me…but my sister lives near one, so I’ll definitely be checking it out next time I go visit her.
Janine says
Lol you are silly for the cat post! I actually went to sephora the first time last saturday and spend 2 hours in there to leave the store with 1 eyeshadow and 1 lipgloss (hubby sent me shopping with $50 and i had to think about how to spend the money EXACTLY lol)..So whenever i get to some money, i will shop there again (planned on another stila eyeshadow shade), so why not trying to win a giftcard, huh?!
All out of a sudden i crave a lemon croissant now – wonder why!!! I have denim clothes in the bathtub right now bleaching them (DIY, ya know?!), drinking corona with lime, commenting on several blogs and as you can tell i am pretty bored right now since i am writing a story on your blog! That’s what you get for telling people to write a comment about ANYTHING….lol
Have a great day Lady!
Janine
Whitney says
Today I made roasted chickpeas. They are so very delicious. 🙂 Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity! I hope I win!!!

Kiss & Make-up says
Today temperatures outside reached 36°C. In my apartment it got to 35°C. I’m going crazy. Not getting any work done. Pounding head ache. Maybe a Sephora gift card would help…? 😉
brittany says
want to go shopping but also wanting to save up for a car
Becky says
I love the weekends!

I wish there was a Sephora where I live ! I always have to order online.

Rikki says
My laptop has been in the shop since Tuesday and it is driving me crazy.

When is Sephora going to bring in OCC? I can’t wait!
bruna louise says
i think i’m good with numbers, i’m an engineer. ^^
irini says
When I need to go somewhere to think, I go by the beach.
Jenna N. says
I can’t remember the last time I went to Sephora. I keep avoiding it to help stave off the temptation to spend money. I think it must have been around my birthday in early June when I was spending money under the “it’s a birthday present to myself” guise.
Serene says
If I had $50 to spend at Sephora… I’d get an eyeshadow palette! Or a fabulous serum! Or perfume, or brush set… OK, this is hard to decide.
Jennifer Ryder says
I have a big, beautiful Siamese cat but he’s not very nice. I won’t take him ANYWHERE. I was mortified by his behavior when I took him to the vet several years ago. The vet and the technicians had to put on those padded things to protect their arms – the ones used to train attack dogs. They said the next time I brought him in he might need to be sedated. Umm, I needed sedation after that. Now I make my husband bring him!
Thanks!
Kate & Zena says
Tabs and Friends! He should have a show. 🙂
April says
I went to Sephora about a month ago; purchased NARS Deep Throat blush and Lhasa e/s!
Christy O says
I really wish I owned more Will & Grace DVDs. Karen is my style icon.

loving this weather
Jenny says
I haven’t been to Sephora in a while, actually. I usually shop at Ulta because they have a really great rewards program. But of course, Sephora has some specialty brands you can’t get elsewhere. Anyway, hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m having a “clean and redecorate the apartment day!” Back to work…
ashley macias says
I love sephora!!!
Samantha F. says
I think the last time I have had anything to do with Sephora was back in May. I get trouble when I go anywhere the store. I’ve been wanting the naked palette for so long but cannot afford so this gift card would be amazing to have! Thanks for the giveaway and hope you’re enjoying your weekend 🙂
Amanda says
I usually shop online so I haven’t been to an actual Sephora store in weeks!
Toni O. says
My Sephora wishlist contains over fifty products at the moment! : |
Kelsey says
Do you ever take your pet to work with you?
I wish that I could! I’m a teacher, though, so I think that taking my cat into the classroom with me would be pretty distracting for me and the kids. She’d probably crawl all over everything and knock books off the shelves. … 🙂
LauraA says
Haven’t been to Sephora in a few weeks but need to go by the end of the month to get more of my Murad and Ole Henriksen serum. Am running out of both.
Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity Karen!

Barbara says
Last time I went to Sephora was in June before school let out. Had to exchange a Boyfriend rollerball I bought online that didn’t roll!!

I was in Sephora on Friday picking up some much needed primer.
Mary says
The last time I went to Sephora was for the Nails Inc. Sprinkles collection, the blue shade is incredible. I also ended up picking up one of the pantone nail polishes in Evergreen, it’s an incredibly subtle duo chrome and I love it! Next time I’m heading over there to pick up MUFE’s green color correcting primer because I have mild rosacea and I’m tired of never getting to wear blush. 🙁
Jody says
Well, I haven’t been to Sephora recently, but just bought something online because they were offering that VIB clutch.
Avery says
This would be great!
Nikki A says
I got an online Sephora order last week. I rarely am given samples when I shop in store, so I usually order online – I’ve gotten hooked on/bought so much stuff because of samples!
Mai says
I went to Sephora pretty recently, I had a gift card from Wrapp to use plus a birthday gift to pick up!

I was just watching an episode of “My Cat from Hell” entitled “My Cat Eats Everything.” Story of my life.

Hi! I haven’t been to Sephora in years because I’ve been shopping so much at the online store 🙂
Tatyana G says
I haven’t been to Sephora in over a month and I am having a withdrawal 🙂 I am not allowing myself to go for a while since I just can’t afford to buy anymore make up.
Bunny says
Last time I was in Sephora I had a bad episode of low blood pressure(it was an oven in there!) so I sat down on the floor so I wouldn’t pass out while I was chugging my Sprite. They wanted to call me an ambulance- I’ll be fine really! Ugh 🙁
Stephanie says
I went to Sephora twice last week (two different Sephoras). Bought stuff both times. Yeah, I’m an addict.

I spend entirely too much money at Sephora. I love their products and will continue to support them!

It was the air and water show in Chicago this weekend… I so wish I were a pilot!!

If I worked for a beauty company it would China Glaze. I want to name the colors.

Happy Saturday night, Karen! Thanks for the chance again this weekend. ♥ I dunno about my kitty, but I adore taking my girls there. They leave very painted, glittery and smelling. 🙂 It’s fun!!
Anna says
Tried the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation today and it was amazing! 🙂
Krystle (Baking Beauty) says
LOVE the cats in sephora graphic.
Please don’t ban me from your blog, but I’m a dog person, and she is too misbehaved to come to work! 😀
aclearcutsign says
Haven’t been to Sephora in ages, but hopefully will be doing some shopping there soon if I win this gift card!
tabby says
*sigh*
BooBooNinja says
I am crushing on MAC’s Supercontinental Blush.
What to do?
Krista D says
I rarely go to Sephora. It’s just not in my current budget.
Natalie says
I haven’t been to Sephora in years, but I’ve just recently gotten into using brushes for eye shadow application, so I would love to go back and check out their offerings. It’s a bit far from me, so it would definitely be a special trip.
AG says
Oh my gosh. That picture. I die. I especially love the sphynx cat in front 😀
Sara P. says
I run into Sephora all the time to play with makeup!!
Melitina says
Last time I went to Sephora was last year in Paris. I spent almost 400 euros in makeup products over 6 months (mostly at Sephora and MAC) but wait: I was entirely new to the world of makeup, became an addict in a just few months, and needed to build my personal kit from the ground up and for the next 5 years at least (no Sephora were I live!). So yesssss, I’m in urgent need of some Sephora refill, please please Karen 😉
Karla Almanza says
Sephora is calling my name lol 🙂

I work from home so I always have my 5 ‘kids’ at work with me & they get very jealous of the keyboard after a while and its very hard to work with 25 lbs of feline on your laptop! 🙂
S says
I haven’t been to Sephora in over two months, ha! It was my first ever visit to, in Toronto. We don’t have Sephoras in my province. 🙁

I would love to work for Benefit. I love their stuff.
Samantha B says
I haven’t been to Sephora in at least half a year, but I have ordered online instead 😛

Solangel says
I went yesterday for the first time in months! Next time I go, I’d love to bring my cat 😉
Lulle says
Oh my, I’m sooo sharing this photo on Pinterest hoping that some people will bring their kitties to the nearest Sephora 😀
If I could work for a makeup brand, I think I’d choose theBalm. They have some great products, but they obviously need to develop their customer base.
Christine says
I wish so much that was a real day! Cats + Sephora = :D.
Brandy says
Is there a place I like to go when I think? That would be balcony because I live in Hawaii and I see water and it’s beautiful so I just like to sit out there and think, it’s so quite and peaceful.î•î•î•
Brandy says
Oops I meant my balcony lolî–
Sam says
My baby girl is so obsessed with Shrek

noemii says
i’m in my last semester in college. first generation to graduate! so ready to be over and done with it!
Patty says
I wish I could take my cat to work with me! I would be in a better mood all day because she is hilarious!
Kim Miller says
I have never been into a Sephora store but I have bought from online! I love online shopping, what you pay in shipping you would spend in gas but you don’t have to deal with traffic!!
Grace says
Well my week didn’t go as planned. My water broke last Saturday and I have birth to the most beautiful girl ever… 5 weeks early!!
Kelly says
My last trip to sephora was for a sample of Laura mercier foundation. And, coach poppy flower perfume!!

Laura W. says
I avoid Sephora and Ulta…my spending gets out of control in places such as those.
Ruth Zau says
My last Sephora trip was about 3 weeks ago. It’s like a candy store for makeup lovers!

Bridget says

I just got a sample of BB cream at Sephora. I am quite curious to see how it holds up…
shusheshe says
The last time I went to Sephora was back in February!
Kiara says
Yesterday I had a massage and it was the perfect way to start my weekend!
Step says
I haven’t been to a Sephora in forever because Ulta has more coupons. I visit Sephora’s website like 10x more often than Ulta’s though, so they each have their place in my life.
Heidi says
I love to head to the ocean when I need to think. The sound of the waves always soothes me and makes everything feel better and more clear.
Vnssa906 says
Had a blondie and a pecan cinnamon roll from our fave bakery in the village … Feelin do gluenous!

I might’ve just gone to Sephora yesterday…. successfully didn’t buy anything though!

I can’t imagine that my cat would enjoy the office so I live him at home.
Bonnie says
I was just in Sephora last week, but I didn’t buy anything.

I last went to sephora on wednesday! It was actually my brother who got something though…
Rac h says
Long time lurker and first time commenter here! Karen, I love reading your informative and entertaining take on make up and beauty stuff!
I was in Sephora about a week ago with a friend for her first time 🙂 I also see a lot of my UPS guy since he brings those Sephora boxes pretty regularly. It’s an addiction!
Kelly says
I wish Sephora really looked like that!
Daneshia says
Oh.MY.GOD.
So I first want to say, helloooo Sephora! I am a -broke- college student at the moment, and I have been dying to get my hands on the new Tarte Amazonian Cheek and Blush palette (the one that looks like a clutch?)
AND THEN, I saw your MAC look with the Indie Spirit and Chessa due eyeshadow and I LOVE IT. I definitely want to purchase some more natural colors!
I haven’t purchased any new makeup in the past…oooo… 4 months?
Thank you for this give-a-way and I hope to get 50 dollars!
Katy says
Thanks for the giveaway! I love your blog and find such great tips, inspiration and reviews from you! Happy weekend 🙂
Sue C. says
My last visit to Sephora was about a month ago and it was quite memorable because one of the wandering employees was wearing butterfly eyelashes. I’ve always wondered who and where would someone wear that type of false eyelash and now I know.
Stacy says
I really need to get to a Sephora. There are so many new things I would love to get and I also need to pick up some things from the Jack Black line for the hubs.
quimerula says
I’d like to work for MAC or Chanel!
Maureen says
My cats have never gone to work with me but I wish they could.
nicole says
I went to Sephora this past Wednesday and got anastasia brow powder and brush. What a difference the good stuff makes! Thanks for the giveaway, Karen. Your blog rocks!
Lisa says
Hi Karen! I went to Sephora on Friday to get the VIB clutch. I am already thinking of my next trip! I wish I could get everything from that store! Thank you for the giveaway! Hope you’re having a great weekend! 🙂
JMay says
I’d like to work for YSL or Dior!
Adi says
Would love to win the giveaway… Thanks!
Wynell says
I went to Sephora about two weeks ago
Deanna G. says
I’ve actually never been into a Sephora! I always shop online. 🙂
janey says
I was just at Sephora (virtually) a couple of days ago — needed more Caudalie cleanser and Diorshow mascara. While working at MAC would up my hip cred (and increase my already-huge lipglass collection), I think I’d like to work at Nars, my latest makeup obsession.
Wendy Kroy says
Thanks for the opportunity!
Sasha Lopez says
Our only kitty is now 14 years old! You’d never know though, he does have a look of smart maturity about him from the ages though ;D
Jessica says
I ordered a spy powder from sephora for my vacation and it came the day after I left! Such bad luck! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Beth says
Waffles are nifty!
Katherine Campbell says
I LOVE Sephora!
Judy says
I have no idea what’s stressful in my life but I haven’t been able to sleep well for a week… stressful dreams every night 🙁
Verena says
Hi Tabs & Karen!
I’ve never been to a Sephora in my life, we don’t have it in Germany, boohoo! But I stalk their website regularly and then ask my dear friend in the USA to rush in and get the stuff I “need”! She even does swatches for me! Bless her for being so patient with me! So I really really hope I’ll win this time so I can send Stacy off to Sephora to go shopping for me! 🙂
Julia says
I went to sephora a few weeks ago at the mall.
steph b says
I used to love when people brought their dogs to the office when I worked in the Senate
Jessica says
The last time I went to Sephora was two weeks ago. There really isn’t one close enough to where I live to justify going as often as I want.
Lisa Cover says
I opened my own business thisummer. Yes my dog came for 1 day but I had to fire him! He barked. Poor buddy. All my $$ is in the business now, so I would love a gift card to splurge with! Thanks!
Dawn says
The last time I went to Sephora was to pick up my complimentary B-day gift, the Fresh lip balm set. I’m really liking them so far! Not sure if I’ll buy the full size ones since they are pretty pricey for a lip balm. I’m trying to resist going in there too much lately—too much like an adult version of the kid in the candy store!
Lexi says
sadly, cannot take my boy Olls to work with me everyday, or any day, unless I get to work from home on rare occasion. I’ve heard that those who work at the corp offices for Google and PetCo get to bring their pets to work.
but I would love to have a Sephora giftcard – the big 3-2 is coming up in a few weeks and I could buy myself a few baubles. I’m interested in that new MUFE brow stuff you featured this week.
much love to you and Tabbers – have a great week!
Janet says
I was just in Sephora a couple of days ago. I was wandering around like an idiot. It was packed and hot and I didn’t have anything particular I needed. I just started putting stuff in my basket and looking for things to buy (I had a bad week at work). Then I stopped in the middle of the store and looked in my basket and set it down and walked out! Thank God!
Boo says
Poor Tabs! Some days have a way of not working out the way you had hoped.
I was actually just at Sephora last night picking up samples of exfoliators to try on my cranky skin.
LisaKay Balazs says
Love the post! I work from home so I am always surrounded by very beautiful 6 feline friends. The last time I went to Sephora was about a week ago to pick up a tube of Potion primer. I just love the stuff.
Nina says
Oh my! My Cat loves Sephora!! But she can’t seem to get the hang of doing human eye eyeliner. !
Donna says
i really want to try laura mercier’s setting powder 🙂
Jen says
Getting back into the dating world, could use a Sephora trip.
Shannon says
I haven’t been in Sephora in over 5 months. I literally went to school in the middle of nowhere. But I would love to go in there and check it out as I really need to find some foundation for an event coming up.
Menia says
I went to Sephora just yesterday, which by the way was the 4th time this month! Had to use my discount coupons, can you blame me??
Jessm says
I’m a vet so my dog gets to come to work with me!
I really need a new perfume, I think I’m allergic to the old one. I definitely need to get to sephora soon!
Sophie's Dish says
I want sephora lorac pro palette

I work from home so my cat always get to work with me…

Kimberly says

chibicheeks says
It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Sephora. I’m in the middle of planning/saving for a wedding and furnishing a new home all at the same time. It doesn’t stop me from making imaginary carts online though!
Sarah C. says
I was just at Sephora last week!
virginie says
Summer is almost gone, good and bad things happened, Please a better year ahead…

The last time I went to Sephora was two days ago– I bought Laura Mercier powder foundation. I like it so far!

If I ever win this thingy, Tabster, I’ll send you a box-o-fur cream as a present! Love your stories :).
Grace says
Karen, how is your summer going? Enjoying all the relaxation time 🙂
Amanda says
Life is too short to not live HAPPY!!
My grandma was a constant reminder of this, although she lost her battle with leukemia last month, she still strived to remain happy until her final day…
I hope I win **fingers crossed**
I sure can use an extra dose of happiness right now and it’s almost impossible to not be happy in a Sephora store! 🙂
Barbie says
The last time I went to sephora was three weeks ago, it was torture cause i with my friend and i had no $$
Linda says
It is raining.
Lydia says
Would love to be chosen for the $50 egift to Sephora’s, I’m just starting out in learning how to do nail art so this would be really helpful to me!! Thanks for the opprotunity!!!
Lisa S. says
What a great question for a giveaway. I used to work for Estee Lauder many years ago and it was a blast. I worked at the counter and later was a roving makeup artist. But I think that today if given the chance to start over, I would choose Dior. And if they turned me down for some crazy reason, I would pick Chanel. Thanks so much!
Angela Clark says
Can hardly wait for the fall, and cooler weather! Can hardly wait for the Bay Area Fog to creep into Antioch…. 🙂

Thanks for the giveaway!
Louisa says
Hi Karen,
I’ve been loving the eye tutorials you’ve been posting! They’ve given me some great inspiration and I have used a couple of tricks that you’ve taught us. To recreate some of the looks, I’m really eager to get the Naked2 palette 😉
Hope you had a great weekend and all my love to Tabs!
Louisa
Donna says
In Manhattan, dogs go shopping in Sephora all the time. Did you see that Philosophy’s new flavor is salted caramel hot cocoa?
Cassidey says
I was just in Sephora last week picking up a travel Koh Gen Do Cleansing Water!
Tricia says
Was in Sephora (an inside JCPenney one) on Friday. Checked out the Fall Nars collection but resisted for now!

My dog just picked me up at the finish line of the Susan G Komen 3 Day!!

Fave summer dresses this year have been anything with an asymmetrical hem! Super fun (:
Christin says
I wish i could win this.. 🙂
Stacy Z says
I went to Sephora right before I moved back home! I couldn’t resist its siren’s call and I ended up getting two Tarte products.
Katherine says
I used to take my cat to the “office” when I was a grad student. It started when he was a kitten and I didn’t want to leave him at home all day, but I kept bringing him until he was about a year old. Everybody liked having him as the “lab” cat.
Libby says
My sister and I went to Sephora on Friday and spent about an hour trying new things and playing with makeup. It’s one of our favorite things to do when we go shopping together.
Chantel says
I am in desperate need of a new foundation! My skin has been a nightmare recently and nothing seems to be working! I have dealt with acne and I also have rosacea 🙁 I have been getting IPL treatments done but haven’t been able to have one since June due to being in a different province than the clinic I go to. I’m lucky though, because a friend of mine is the technician so she fits me in and doesn’t charge the whole lofty $300 fee per treatment!
I’ve been thinking that I want to try the Urban Decay Naked Foundation!
Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
Gail says
Beautiful Day at the beach today – back to work tomorrow
Jessie says
When I need to think I either like to go out for a walk or for a solo trip to the movies if I just need to clear my head. It’s nice being alone, but also with other people around.
Jia says
Sephora is just one big money sucker for me. I’m scared to go into it now, b/c I spend so much.
Susan says
My Cat from Hell is my new TV obsession…which may be strange, since I don’t have a cat.
Katie says
The last time I was at Sephora was about a week ago when I needed samples of MUFE Full Cover Concealer. The second-to-last time I was at Sephora was around Fourth of July at the huge Vegas store, and – wow – that place is like a beauty junkie’s heaven.
Denise says
The last time I went to Sephora was January to pick up my birthday gift of the Fresh lip treatments. Obviously I’ve gone way too long without a trip there. I need to remedy that.
Ada says
I have no cats – or any other pets, so there isn`t any issue with bringing cats to a workplace! I haven`t been to their store in ages – I mainly browse online for what I like.
My favourite summer dress is a bright floral print, strapless, and a-line mini dress. LOVE IT.
When I need to think, I usually go into my room, put my headphones, and listen to music. I would work for Makeup Forever – a brand that accommodates all skin tones well, OR YSL – their lipsticks are unreal!
Leslie Cruz says
After all this back to school shopping bleh! It’ll be nice to shop for a little me time!
Sherrie says
Just bust a move!!!!
BB says
I just went to Sephora last week to help someone pick out eyeshadow!
May says
I wish I had a Sephora near me. The closest to me is a Sephora inside JCP and I hate their limited stock 🙁 Sephora.com has been my friend as of late.
Mykeshia says
I need to add some more cobalt blue into my makeup wardrobe.
Alli says
There’s a cool new nailpolish from Nails, Inc I’ve had my eye on…
Christina Tran says
Will be receiving a $300 stipend for being a good math student!!

Hey Karen! I was at Sephora a few days ago and Hubs bought me a new bottle of MUFE HD Foundation. Getting ready for the Fall/Winter! 🙂 Hope you’re weekend is going wonderfully!
Kinka says
I don’t have any pets, wish I had a cat but no can do. I’m so ready for fall, this humidity is doing major havoc on my hair back to school we go 🙂
Elka Bolhafner says
Do you do this every weekend? It seems as if you do which means your generosity knows no bounds. Seriously
Janelle says
The last time I went to Sephora was sometime within the past month; I picked up some moisturizer.
Chelsey says
I’d love to work with Urban Decay or make my own! 🙂
KathyH says
Oh, I would totally work for Bare Escentuals!!!!!
Christina says
I haven’t been to Sephora in over a month – went last month to pick up my birthday treat! I was on a nail polish no-buy last month, so I wasn’t really in the mood to buy any makeup or beauty products, to be honest! Now, I’m itching to get back there!
Marissa says
The last time I went to Sephora I bought Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss. My absolute favorite!!!
Crystal Ford says
Hmmmmm….I was in Sephora just a couple if weeks ago to get a refill of my fav Phyto Shampoo :)…..Oh and I don’t bring my pet to work but would LOVE to be able too!!!!!!!!!!

I’d love to win! I went to Sephora last week and there are so many things I saw that I’d love and that my 19 yr old daughter would love to have.. we both walked out with some fab lipgloss from smashbox, but man… we’d love to have a few more things! thanks for the chance to win!!
Caitlin says
My county does not even have a Sephora in a JCPenney’s. I have to wait to go visit my dad in Tampa where there is a Sephora. Of course, online shopping always rocks, and I’m glad as that’s usually my only option. I love the look of the Stila Seoul palette!
Tiffany says
I’ve been inside Sephora twice this week, trying to figure out whether I should buy the new UD Naked Skin foundation or Lancome Teint Idole Ultra…decisions, decisions.
Stephanie Soper says
Thanks for doing this! I love Sephora!!! If I win I’m grabbing some new shadows!

Do people actually win this? I’m curious b/c it says that the winners will be posted here, but as a faithful reader I never see winners posted for these weekly Sephora contests?

I haven’t been to a Sephora in a couple of months now. For some reason, your post reminded me that there’s an Inglot counter at my local Macy’s. I may have to peruse the goods at Sephora and then head over to Macy’s for a swatch-fest. Have a good rest of your weekend!
Kathrin says
Last time I went to Sephora was in the beginning of July and actually it was online. I bought my boyfriend his birthday present. If I had this gift card, I’d buy myself the Givenchy perfume I wanted to have for so long.
BL says
I prefer MAC to Sephora because I get better service from the former, but I’ve been dying for the NARS Laguna/Bronzer duo. I’ve been wanting it for ages – I think it was the first high-end product I learned about when I started watching beauty vids on YT.

Hi everyone,
I haven’t visited Sephora in over a month, and for several months before that, I didn’t visit it. It’s a busy life.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

I wish I was able to take my cats to work with me, it would definitely make the work day more interesting! I thought briefly about getting a stroller for them, to take them for walks with me, however, that seems to be bordering on CCL for realz!

The last time I was in a sephora was probably in July. And I saw the new selection of nail polishes and the pantone collection. I love sephora, but it makes a huge dent in my wallet everytime I go, which is been why I havent gone in two months.

Last time I went to Sephora was about a month ago 🙂

I love sephora but sephora here has insanely high markups! 🙁 I pay $76 for the Makeup Forever HD foundation! Gosh, how ridiculous is that?!?!

Sephora is going to deplete my bank account without a little help (from my friends)!
