WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Jamie! Congratulations, Jamie! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂
Tabs and I are watching Project Runway right now, and Tim Gunn seems like such a cool guy. I envy Tabs for being able to work so closely with him. What a tremendous opportunity — having Tim Gunn as your mentor. His insights into feline and human fashion are so simple yet eloquently stated, and he just seems like such a nice person on top of everything else (loved his book).
Tabs gets so many great opportunities like that… I wonder if he fully appreciates how lucky he is. I asked him about it once, how lucky he felt, and he said, “Mrrrow.” [The harder I work, the luckier I get.]
Thanks for stopping by this morning. It’s always nice to see you. 🙂

yesterday!! I went to a mexican restaurant and had carne asada fries yum!

Kirsten H. says
I went to Chipotle with my boyfriend a few weeks ago and we ate outside in the lamplight… how romantic. 😛
elle says
I kind of want the weather to change so I can start wearing all my pretty autumn clothing, but that means it won’t be warm all the time anymore! /dilemma
Zoey says
I’m glad Ven was sent home on PR this week. I haven’t liked him since the “real woman” challenge.

Hannah S. says
First all nighter of the semester. Now to detox from caffeine XD perhaps if I win I will get some eye brightener so I look less sleep deprived at school

My favorite Project Runway designer of all time was Rami Kashou! His draping technique made all his looks so stunning, plus he has a great personality. On the current season, Sonja has stolen my heart with her fun personality and creative looks!

I’m moving to NYC soon. Looking at apartments, but darn they are expensive.

Ivy says
I think my favorite black liner is currently L’Oreal’s Lacquer Liner. I love how smooth and pigmented it is!
Mary says
You know, I can’t remember the last time I ate a meal outside!…no, wait, now I do. It was when I went to a street festival with my best friend…in June. I should probably try to fix that.

Oh my gosh, I didn’t realize Tim Gunn has a book! I just might need to pick that up!

Hi Karen! I love Project Runway and I am team Christopher 🙂 who do you want to win?
Stef Smith says
Debating on if I should go to the gym, go on a walk, or having a 4th cup of coffee and watching the Law&Order: SVU marathon. I’m thinking the marathon wins! LOL! And maybe adding a manicure to the deal too, something rich and shimmery for the 1st day of Autumn!
marisol says
My favorite eye liner is Milani Liqui’feye or some thing like that. For the price & it’s performance, it is the one I reach for the most.
Lena says
I went to school for fashion design, watching PR brings back do many memories!

I think I had some frozen yogurt outside with my friend a few weeks ago. Everything tastes better out in the sunshine, doesn’t it?
PS says

Project Runway is one of my favorite reality shows. I’m also loving Face Off right now (I’ve been watch it since its first season as well) and love that a more mainstream makeup company is sponsoring it this time around.
Lisa G. L. says
Hi Karen! My two favorite black eyeliners are UD 24/7 liner in Perversion and Physician’s Formula Nude Eyes liner (from the trio). They’re both fabulous products. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 🙂

My favorite black eyeliner is Blitz & Glitz fluidline!
Xero says
Been feeling sad.
Rita says

Mimi says
I’ve only been to New York once and it was about 2 years ago. I wish I can go again soon 🙂
Cammie says
HOW do you ever get Tabs to pose with those products? Is it hard to get him to sit still or is he a good 20lb. Kitty? Also, I “Heart” Tabs in the product placement ads on the weekends. 🙂
Maria says
For once I know exactly what I’d use this card for – a bottle of Chloe! Ummmm I’d always have something to get but usually I just choose when I’m at Sephora. Right now I’m being good and waiting 🙁 it’s no fun at all!
Melissa W. says
I am a huge fan of Tabs, just so you know.
brittany says
hey! thanks for the contest 🙂
katheel says
Just had an amazing lunch of ethiopian food – YUM!
Katie says
I just started watching Project Runway again…I was having a one-person boycott after Mondo Guerra didn’t win his season. His taste and mine are really similar — Mexican influence, pop art, bold prints, etc. Since he won the All-Stars season, I decided to give PR another chance. This season, I like Dmitry and Melissa the best…totally agree with the person above in disliking Ven since he dissed the “real women.”
Adrienne says
I’m dying to try out the Hourglass Oxygen Mineral Powder you spoke so highly of this summer. This gift card would totally help me get there!
jaymie says
Hmm…my favorite black eyeliner…for a matte finish i like urban decay zero or makeup for ever black. I want to try mac’s pearlglide in black swan 🙂 i LOVE the pearlglides. And i live in Hawaii so in the low 70’s high 60’s is considered cold for us islanders!
Camelia Andrasescu says
I want to try some product from Maroccanoil.
I tweeted : https://twitter.com/cameliaadriana/status/249596373647884288
Savannah says
I’m so excited for tonight. I’m going to a social, and although most of the time they never play the good music, I have more fun getting ready 😛 seriously, doing my make up is sometimes my fave part of the day. I just find it so much fun 🙂
Tiffanie says
I’ve never seen Project Runway. I probably should check it out since everyone says it is so great.
Anna says
Maybe random.org will favor me to in this time 🙂
Alison says
It feels like fall today and I am so excited!!
Step says
I really liked Physician’s Formula pencils for their softness back in my smudgy eyeliner undergrad days. Now I mostly use brown Urban Decay liners.
Lynn says
I haven’t watch project runway in years, but my fav were Christian Soriano?, Rami, and Chris. They were all from the same season.
I honest, switch up products so often that i don’t have a fav. Every time I’m done with one brand i try another so i’m very unimpressed or really unfaithful. hah . But currently i’m using Make Up Forever Aqua liner and I really do love it because it doesn’t smudge by the end of the day/night, but still washes off easy.
Becky says
Cheers to the freakin’ weekend!
Jennifer Anderson says
I’m sooooo excited I found your blog a few days ago! I’m an esthetic student ( after being out of school for over 20 yrs!) I am obsessed with anything skincare or make up related so getting to read what you have to say about everything ” beauty” is amazing! Being that I’m a student my funds are low so getting to see what you think will help me narrow things down when I get to actually go buy products! Thank you!
Jennifer Anderson says
P.S..I can’t wait to spread the word about your blog to all of the esthetic students so that can enjoy too!
Saddy says
Um, I had some ice cream outside last weekend. Not a meal, but it was delicious! My black eyeliner right now is the L’oreal infallible pencil; but the Rimmel Soft Kohl is a long-time favorite!
Amy says
Chilr Renenoes with chicken for dinner last night and the leftovers for lunch today.
aclearcutsign says
I haven’t been to NY, but it’s on my list of places to go!
Breanne says
Hi, my name’s Breanne and I really like cheese.
I actually have tried to design my own clothes and accessories, in junior high I had made a jirt, cut the legs off a pair of jeans and sewn swatches of fabric to the bottoms, along with jean purses, those I was better at making.
meka says
I visited NY when I was 12. I was too young to appreciate it, so I cannot wait to get back.
Katrina says
I’m loving this cooler weather. I missed my sweaters and boots!
Sherrie says
I am going on a cruise next year (June 15). And my goal is to lose 30 pounds and get rid of a few dark spots on my face. I have lost 10 pounds so far. Now I am working on the dark spots. Wish me well!!!!
Natalie says
I just heard about Tarte’s 2012 holiday collection and I’ve got my eye on that Carried Away set.
Tina says
Thanks Karen and Tabs (:D) for this awesome giveaway. My first piece of sewing project is a chair cover which turned out ok.

The coldest it gets around here (Florida)…probably high 20s or low 30s, but that’s somewhat rare. I don’t have heat so those nights are not fun!
Christin says
Cant wait for Sephora to open in sweden 😀
onegreatsmile says
I always use a black eyeshadow with a wet brush as my eyeliner. I found gels dry out too quickly, liquids are too harsh and unblendable, and pencils either run, rub off everywhere, or are impossible to remove!!
Alison says
My favorite PR designer this season is Dmitry. But my favorite PR designer of all time? I don’t think I could pick just one!
Ariel says
Love your blog! I check it almost everyday for new tips and product releases 🙂
Kim Law (kimmydadiva) says
I have never designed a piece of clothing in my life, if cutting off the neckline area do a t-shirt and adding some paint to it is a design oh well…. *taps shoulder*…lol!!
Chanelle says
That might be the cutest picture of Tabs I’ve ever seen – love it! And I love Tim Gunn! Do you happen to remember his criticism of Taylor Momsen in an interview years back after meeting her on the Gossip Girl set? What did you think of it? Some people lost respect for him since he bashed a teenager. I think it was a little inapropriate but…so funny too!
Vanessa says
Ever since tasting Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte just the other day, I’ve been obsessed! 😀
Margie says
I have never been to NYC… Definitely want to someday!
Lisa H. says
I think it’s just going to be a boring, get stuff done around the house weekend. The clouds have rolled back in and it just feels like a good day to stay inside with the lights on. Have a good one!
Amaris says
My favorite eyeliner is MAC’s Blacktrack 🙂 Or any of the Maybelline twisty ones!
BooBooNinja says
pssst. I love the Honey Boo Boo show.

I love Project Runway, although it’s been awhile since I’ve watched it. I don’t normally keep up with current tv. ^^;
Jessm says
MOnday is my birthday! I could sure use some makeup!
Ceci says
The worst cold weather that I’ve ever experienced was in NYC. The temperature was below zero, but felt significantly worse with wind chill. My fingers were red, frozen sausages when I returned home. They were so numb that I couldn’t remove my coat because my fingers could not grasp the zipper.
Rachel B. says
New York! Haven’t been there, have friends there, though. We are planning a reunion next year, destination: New York.

Genesis says
Had Mexican in NYC yesterday, it was the best 🙂
Caitlin says
As much as I love summer, I get excited about jackets and sweaters this time of year. However, I wore a nice jacket today – but it was 80 degrees. Fail!
Karen says
Christopher & Dmitri’s designs are my faves!

I recently started using Laura Mercier Brightening Powder to set my under eye concealer and brighten and I am in love with it! Just FYI… 🙂

I’m also newly obsessed with the OCC lip tars… I kinda need them all! 🙂

The last time I had a meal outside was last weekend. I’m trying to stop work earlier so I enjoy the last few nice nights outside, but it’s been tough.
Chris25 says
I am a born and bred New Yorker.
Kate & Zena says
I could totally use one of these! I have a headache from my shots!
Melissa says
I felt bad about unsubscribing from M&BB emails this week. But I only did it because I don’t need a reminder to check M&BB every day, I already do 🙂 <3 ya Karen!
Shannon says
I want to go fall makeup shopping so bad!
Cheryl Thompson says
Is it sad that I have never tried any Sephora products? I’m thinking its rather sad myself.
Lisa @ Fit in the Midwest says
I love Bobbi Brown’s gel eyeliner in black. Doesn’t smudge and goes on smoothly!
auroragyps says
When I was little, my mom sewed all the time (she worked in a Singer store too) so I designed a few things. The one thing we both remember the best is a pair of pants made out of shiny brushed cotton. The pants were a medium shade of warm purple and the cargo-like pockets were turquoise and had purple buttons on the flaps. They were so cool. We even managed to find a floral fabric with the same colors on a white back ground, so mom made me a Summer top (a sleeveless peasant blouse with a ruffled collar and bottom) to go with the pants. I still have a few little pieces of fabric from the pants & the top. 😀
LIsaT says
I’m very much into penny loafers this fall. Going to run out and buy a pair tomorrow, last time I had penny loafers Clinton was still in office.
Rachel says
I usually don’t like eating outside – the bugs are usually horrible! However, when you get the right time of year, when the weather is nice and the bugs aren’t out yet, I don’t mind. It’s been awhile – probably my last picnic, which has been at least a year ago!
Emily says
Very much looking forward to fall! It’s still 100 degrees in Redding. So excited for boots an and scarves!
OrangeLipstickBlog says
I had a meal outside today! My mom and I ate at a Greek place and it was amazing. We had tilapia!

Lately I’ve been using the essence black cream liner – cheap and great!
Emily says
Haha that photo is hilarious!!!
I recently (today) found a new mascara and lip gloss that I love!! Can’t believe I didn’t know about them before and now I am obsessed! Its Maybelline Colossal Cat Eye mascara and Revlon Just Bitten lip stain/balm. Have you tried either of these?
Thanks Karen!! And Tabs 🙂

I haven’t watched Project Runway in a long time, I think it’s time I catch up!

Jayd says
When I was in high school I designed my prom dress about 12 times! And I’ve never been to New York but I’m hoping that changes soon!!!

At some point I will get up and put fresh linen on my bed. Had to stop by and check out your website first though. Now that I’ve done so, wonder what excuse I could use to further procrastinate 🙂
Lori says
I normally don’t wear black eyeliner but when I do, it’s normally UD’s Zero or Perversion.
Melissa says
Project runway? I’ve been so addicted to true blood to watch anything else. Doesn’t Bill seem so tiny next to Eric? *sigh*
Judy says
I was just in NYC a couple of weeks ago! Went to time square and took a picture with elmo….he smelled bad 🙁 childhood ruined…

I visited New York last year.
It was awesome!!!
Tay says
I have gotten booted of this page at least 7 times just trying to post a comment! Lol! But I will not let my crappy cellular service get the best of me. Favorite liner: blackest black cream liner by Maybelline Eyestudio! Yes I got it finished this time!
Jenny says
Honestly, I don’t have a favorite black eyeliner! The closest was maybe WnW’s Creme Liner, but as for pencils, they all tend to smudge on me by the end of the day (especially on the waterline!). And I always prime, too. Sigh… This is such a first world problem, haha!
lesleyk says
I love Texas. Today was in the 90s and I loved it. My body freaks out when the temperatures drop below, like, 75.

Hi! I’m 19years old, and I’m getting married in 2 months, I’m so excited but… I don’t have a lot of money to make myself feel like a princess, because my fiancée is going into the army, and I’m still in college. This would mean the world to me!

Natasha says
This summer I made simple tank tops, tweaked to fit my middle-aged Western body, and then drew on them — does that count as designing?
The coldest it ever gets in Lemon Grove is around 40F at night in the winter. Maybe 36F in a cold snap. The coldest I’ve ever experienced was -42F in Indiana. So freaking cold, your sinuses crystallized as you inhaled!
Donna Lyn A. Gan says

I can’t wait to move back home to CA when I graduate!
carolyn n. says

Kelly says

A Wolf At The Door says
I just moved to the midwest, so I’m expecting this winter to be brutal. I’m a little excited actually. Where I’m from, we never had much snow and if we did it would all melt the next day. 🙁
My favorite black eyeliner is my Urban Decay pencil liner in Perversion.
Chunyi says
OMG, I just ate ate Sushi Deli Friday night. And boy was it delicious. Amazing chicken katsu and spicy california roll. Man, I need to go back there. The food was also cheap as well, I dont think it gets any better than that.
Maureen says
Melissa is my favorite Project Runway designer.
Janelle says
Had a meal outside yesterday, at a Taiwan festival 🙂
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
I just tried my new Giorgio Armani Waterproof Smooth Silk Eye Pencil yesterday (I have #2 which is a lovely brown) and it’s seriously AMAZING. I didn’t believe all the hype about it–I just figured that i had tried a lot of eyeliners in my day and the one I’ve had the most luck with is the Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes pencils, but even they don’t stay put on my oily lids/small, watery eyes all day–especially on my waterline. But the GA stayed put on my waterline ALL. DAY. No joke, it’s amazing and I am in love. Definitely going back for the black one now!
Jorid says
I have two kinds of favourite black eyeliner! A glossy black dipliner from L’Oreal – super easy to apply and wears really well, and just a regular black soft pencil liner – my “secret trick” is to blend it with a liner brush to get a nice subtle smoky look.
Mandy says
I’m having a lazy sunday today! Had a busy week, going to play with makeup later and have some cake! Also planning a forest walk this afternoon with my kids. It’s going to be a great day…say hi to Tabs! (such a handsome cat)
Lilly says
My cat used to wake me up by giving me a kiss on my nose. To some it might sound gross, but it was the sweetest thing. I woke up smiling every day. I miss him so much!
Emi at Project Swatch says
My sephora cart is $53 right now, so this would be perfect!
Abbie says
Oh man I love Project Runway! My favorite designer would have to be Mondo. I only saw that first season he was in, but his clothes were so fun!
Rie Maeda says
last time i ate outside was poolside in florida with a basket of french fries! 🙂
layla says
oooh, the coldest it ever gets here in kuwait maybe around 3 at night? (in the winter) but its around 15 during the day time. i’m sure it gets colder out in the dessert.
Nicola says
I used to design clothes when I was a teenager. I had a little notebook of scribbles. Still dissapointed that I lacked the dressmaking abilities to make them into realities!
SSB says
Hmmm, favorite black eyeliner currently is the super thin one by Stila. It gives fantastic natural results for wearing to work.
Amy B. says
i was just in new york last weekend to meet my younger brother, and i went to the MAC store.. twice.. in the span of about 5 hours!
Julie J says
I have never designed an outfit but I have certainly sewn myself quite a few things: tops, dresses, skirts and altered a few items, repurposed them. I do love watching Project Runway!
Julie says
I am so excited that it is finally autumn–now I can’t wait for the weather to cool off. Bring on the berry lips, scarves, apple cider, and pretty leaves!
Julie says
I’ve never been to New York; I can’t wait!
Kayla says
loving the new layout!
Lexi says
Fave black eyeliner – well, my friend at work asked for recs for black liner for a cat eye look for an upcoming wedding and I suggested the Loreal 24h lacquer liner – so I guess those are my fave right now!
Kate says
I have been to New York because I’m from New York! Don’t live there anymore but I do miss the hustle and bustle of the big city. Also, my favorite black eyeliner is a tie between Almay Liquid Eyeliner Pen and MUFE Aqua Eyes.
Nicolle says
Last time I had a meal outside was last night! My family eats dinner out a lot.

Emily says
New York is fun, but very expensive!
Phoebe says
currently watching sherlock holmes game of shadows! so great!

I grew up in New York but moved to Montana a few years ago. The winters can last up to six months but it’s gorgeous and there’s a fantastic assortment of cowboy boots available! 🙂
chibicheeks says
My fav eyeliner hands down is Urban Decay Perversion. Liquid liner on top, and pencil on bottom
Krista says
No one is really wowing me on Project Runway 🙁
Jennifer Pham says
I’ve never bought anything from Sephora that wasn’t clearanced (I usually can’t afford it), so this would be a great late-birthday present 🙂
Deborah says
Would love to go to New York soon!
Amber says
I’m just gonna say it–I am in desperate need of the Urban Decay Naked Palette (yeah, this broke girl is a little late to the party) & a free $50 Sephora gift card would help me get it!!
Jo says
Hi Karen,
It can get as cold as -40 C where I live! I could definitely invest that gift card into some good moisturizer for the harsh winter months!
Crazycatladyinthemaking says
Body Shop’s liquid eyeliner is my fave. As far as a pencil, I have yet to decide. I’m using UD’s perversion right now.
Mina says

I have been to New York 2x- the last time was a year after 9/11 and it was quiet and somber. A very different place from the first time I visited.
Brownie Babe says
Its California, what cold? Lol, kidding. It gets pretty cold sometimes past summer.
I really wanna try theBalm cosmetics. Their -izers seem pretty cool, not sure how it’ll show on my Brown skin.
Ellie says
I can’t believe it’s the final season of the Office ;-; Do you watch, Karen?
Amber says
To be honest, I’ve never watched a single episode of Project Runway… I’m afraid I’ll become obsessed with it, since I’ve been told it’s right up my alley.
Patti says
I don’t know what to do with my hair anymore as I get older it is so fine. Need a new hairstyle.
Sarah says
Hi, well I’ve never been to new York but I’ve heard its an amazing place. There’s a restaurant there by the name of “One If By Land, Two If By Sea” which I find so romantic! If I ever come to New York I’d definitely go there. If anyone has been there, pls share your views. 🙂
Lydia says
I love Tim Gunn! And Sephora!
Amanda G says
My BFF came to visit me this week!
dani says
Wow, another post to get me through yet another Sunday in lab…sometimes grad school sucks… Ven probably had the best design/technical proficiency, but I was so disgusted by the way he treated the “larger” lady in the “design for real folks” episode that I think he should have gotten the boot. That behavior has no place on my planet.
Brooke says
I just wish I could sew. I keep thinking I’ll do it someday, but I never get around to it. 🙁 I even went so far to buy some fabric and some patterns.
Darlene says
I love Mac Blacktrack.
Jordan says

Nastassia says
Given I live in NY .. The weather is amazing today! :))
Angela Clark says
Can hardly wait for the cooler weather to arrive..the Bay Area keeps tricking me be being freezing one day, then hot the next! I wanna cuddle in boots, leggings, and warm sweaters dern it!
Daniella says
The coldest it gets in Hellay is 36 degrees at night during some nights in winter. I am looonging for cold weather now, I am sick of the heat..and New York City? Was born there and I adore it alas it is way too expensive to live there 🙁
Shana says
I love Dimitry on Project Runway! And Christopher too.

Julia says
My mom taught me how to knit and cross stitch when I was younger, but I have never made an entire outfit. My mom used to sew, and I remember her making lots of frilly dresses for me when I little, but I am definitely a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl now.
@PaulinaChills says
I painted my son’s room yesterday to look like space. It took me 7 hours. he’s very happy. took me a lot of scrubbing to get the paint off my skin and out of my hair. I could really use a new brush head for my Clarisonic Mia. Have a great rest of the weekend.
Rose says
Seattle girl here. The weather is mild here, with an occasional heat wave or “snowmaggedon”. It suits me just fine. Was in Boston this Summer and I felt like I was melting from the humidity! Had to break out with the dry shampoo to keep my locks from getting limp!
TheaTB says
I am dying for some of the fall/holiday kits you’re reviewing! I’d love to win the card to go shopping! wheeee
Amie F says
I’m a knitter and I usually use knitting patterns as rough guides and change things within the pattern to suit my needs.
Keala says
what are your ties to Hawaii? I’d love to meet you one day for some personal tips.
Ana says
The coldest it really gets in my area during the day is maybe one or two days a year where it gets down to 55 degrees F maybe? I’m pretty spoiled…
Petunia says
love project runway. it was my happy place friday night when i got some bad news.
Vanessa says
It snowed maybe once here last year — but I don’t think it’s typical.
I’ve used Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in black for 6 or 7 years because everything else that I’ve tried makes my eyes sting. But, I’m shopping around for something new!
Amanda says
I love project runway but I haven’t been keeping up with this season
becca says
YAY! Giftcards are fun!!!
Erica says
I’ve been going through the same morning makeup routine: base, foundation, black eyeliner, and lipstick. I would absolutely LOVEEE to buy and try on new style of makeup and get ride of this dull simple everyday make up that i’ve been putting on the past two years!
P.S. I just found this wonderful website and i’ve been on it the past three hours exploring and learning new beauty tips!!!!!(:<3<3<3
Grace Liu says
I am a boomeranger back to Fresno, CA, after a 13 year detour through Boston and Chicago. Fresno never gets very cold, so I can’t wear nice cold weather gear anymore. I love Project Runway, and I am rooting for either Christopher or Dmitry this season. My all-time favorite contestant was Leanne. I would die for one of her designed outfits.
Robyn says
I love Project Runway too! P.S. you are hilarious and I love reading your blog 🙂
deana says
I am having a great day so far, how about you?

What is your #1 makeup product of all time? 😀

I never designed clothing but when I was little I designed my Halloween costumes. I’d draw out what I wanted and my mother would sew them.
Rae // theNotice says
Hope you’re having a good weekend, Karen! 🙂
Bunny says
The coldest it gets where I live? If we’re unlucky -40! brrr! That’s pretty rare though.
Dawn says
Can get pretty darn cold here in the winter, but there’s nothing like a landscape of freshly fallen snow!
Ambar says
I want a clarisonic so badly!
Jamie says
Ooh, girl, black eyeliner and I have a love-hate relationship. I have such a hard time finding one that doesn’t smudge onto my hooded eyelid after a few hours! Still haven’t found THE PERFECT eyeliner, but so far my favorites are Milani Liquif’Eye, Essence Gel Eyeliner and the Stila eyeliner pen (but the Milani one is a close second!).
sara says
I love your Chanel style headbands!

jessica davis says
Never been to New York, but I want to go so bad. Favorite black eyeliner is Mac, the one in the pot!
Jane says
It’s been horribly hot where I live all summer. . but this morning it was a cool, crisp 58. Tabs would have love it. . .great weather for a walk.

Sara P says
I just ate lunch outside!!
Kelly says
I am eating cookie dough and doing my homework!
Andrea says
My favorite black liner is Perversion. Plus we just adopted a puppy! Definitely changed our lives. It’s like having another child. Pottytrained one, I guess I can do another 🙂 lol

Monique says
I would love to win so I could get my hands on a ysl concealer!
Tricia says
It can get pretty cold here in the Nashville area–we’ve seen single digits before! But that’s just maybe 4 or 5 days out of the entire winter season–last year we didn’t even get one “good” snow storm (i.e. no snow days for teachers and students LOL!)
Meena says
I design clothes all the time giving it my own touch and if something is not perfect I get really frustrated!! And have my mom assist me to fix it. I love watching Project Runway…I think its extremely difficult to get things done with such time pressures and challenges!! My fav this season is Sanji…How about you??
My last meal outside was yesterday at pizza time with bro n sis. I live in Boston Mass so it gets in the 10’s, 20’s.
I live 3 1/2 hrs away from NY so we make a trip once in a while. My favorite black eyeliner is MAC liquid gel liner LOVE IT!!!
Chista says

Amy says
My favorite black eyeliner is prestige cosmetics liquid eyeliner. I’ve used it for years, I love it!
Jess A. says
It gets SUPER cold here in Chicago, like sometimes up to 10 below. I actually quite like the winter, though because my doggies enjoy playing in the snow, and I don’t really have to drive in it much.
bobbie says
Id love to win!
Pearl says
I had this dream once where I designed the most beautiful gown! SO flattering and I even had the details about the fabric and everything. Alas, when I woke up the dress was forgotten…
Gail says
Where does the weekend go????????????????????
Kim says
Dmitry is definitely my favorite designer this season.
Ambi says
What’s up T-Money and K-Dawg? Haha.
Have you ever heard of shrinky dinks??
I was deprived of having pets when I was a kid and am making up for it now. I got a kitty back in May and he is absolutely the center of my world now! So I’m very much into any and all things cat related. Anyways… I loved the web design you have of the cat silhouette and am making magnets using that as a template using shrink dinks. It’s my de-stresser, that and checking out your new posts of course. 😉 Hehe.
Jess M says
This would be perfect for the illamasqua nail varnishes I’ve been eyeing:)
Libby says
My favorite Project Runway contestant of all time is Christian Siriano; he is so fierce!

I wish that I could tightline like Tabs!
Liz says
I wish the weekend lasted a couple more days.
Hanna says
Greetings Karen!! I went to NYC a few years ago to visit a bf (now an ex-bf sadly…but I digress) and I absolutely loved it. Brooklyn was awesome not to mention the City itself. Wish I could live there someday!! It’s definitely a goal…maybe after I pay off some of my student loans.
Justin says
I’d love to give my gf a Sephora gift card!
Laila E says
Since we can talk about anything, I love Revlon’s Just bitten Kissable Balm Stains! They actually work and I don’t have to worry about it getting into my teeth. And I never reapply! Such a miracle worker for lazy people like me 😀
jess says
I want some sephora money! :0 )
KaylaP says
It doesn’t really get cold here in the Big D. I remember one Christmas it was a high of 60 outside! Although we did have a heavy snow one year and that was nice for a change! It can be hard to really get into the holidays when the weather is always warm.
kirsten says
My birthday weekend just passed!
Rach says
I live in Western Arizona, so it doesn’t get too cold here at all. In fact, I haven’t bought or worn a real coat in years! I love that I don’t have to worry about driving in snow or scraping ice and snow off my car in the morning before work. But at the same time, it’s nearing the end of Sept and still seeing 106+ degree days. I’m ready for it to cool down a bit!

My first time ever leaving a comment on a website… I will go with my current favorite lipbalm: Smith’s Rosebud Salve Balm. I have tried lots of different lipbalms but keep returning to this one. It is moisturizing, not sticky, adds a slight tint of color and a glossy finish. Looks great on its own and one really cannot ask for much more than that from a lipbalm (except for, possibly, some SPF)! 🙂

No, I have never designed a piece of clothing. I’m not very fashion-forward. :/

What’s the coldest it gets where you live?
Hmm… maybe -10 degrees? I live in upstate NY.
Have you ever been to New York?
Many times! It’s got s lot of great places to visit (museums, zoos, etc) but overall I don’t care for it. I’m really not a city girl.

I’ve always wanted to see NYC, but a 17-hours flight is not such an appealing perspective 😛
Miriam says
The Emmy sound last night was really frustrating.

I don’t want to go to class!! 🙁

I <3 Project Runway! Been watching since Season 1. This season I really like Christopher! Gunner was fun to watch & I was sad to see him go but he wasn't quite there. Dmitry is a great designer too! So much drama this season! Can't wait for the finale!
Amy says
Booked a trip to New Orleans for December this weekend!

I live in DC so in terms of weather, we get it all! Without looking it up…I’d say maybe it can get to 20F or less.
Basak says
Hi Karen! I live in Iowa and winters can get really cold here! I saw -40 F once but winter average is 15-20 F.
