NOVATO, California (November 3, 2012) — This November, for one day only, cats are taking over Sephora.
“It’s about damned time,” said Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog mascot and world-renowned plus-size kitty supermodel. “Cats are synonymous with beauty, and my feline friends and I plan to change the beauty world, one tail twitch at a time.”
This Sunday, November 4, Tabs and other feline fashion and beauty industry heavyweights will take over the regular staffing duties of Sephora employees and makeup artists at select stores worldwide. The cats will man the registers, cruise the aisles and advise beauty lovers on fragrance, skincare and cosmetics from a feline perspective. Shoppers can also expect to learn about cat-approved products.
“My friends and I are very excited to partner with Sephora on this exciting project,” said Tabs. “I can’t wait to help women realize their beautiful potential. It’s going to be a blast.” 🙂
Rise and shine, pal o’ mine! Welcome to the weekend. Hope you had a nice Friday night. Mine was pretty chill. El Hub and I had date night at Pasta Pomodoro, and then came home and rented a movie, Safety Not Guaranteed (a little slow, but charming).
I haven’t figured out my plan for the day yet, but I do know it involves a workout and some mommy and tabby time.
Don’t forget to enter this weekend’s giveaway for a $50 eGift card to Sephora before you go (details below). Have a great weekend, and may the odds be ever in your favor. Talk to you soon.
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.”

Do you do big hair? What brush do you use for bronzer? Do you know of a full-coverage under-eye concealer that doesn’t look cakey? Recommendations for affordable clip-in bangs that don’t look too terrible? What’s the best full-coverage foundation for very dry, flaky skin? — you get the idea.

Hilarious post today LoL
Joyce says
I hadn’t had power for 3 days
Agata says
Hey Karen, this Sephora gift card would really come in handy 🙂 I use my real techniques stippling brush for bronzer or blush or highlighter. This brush is amazing! And I am not a big on concealers but I have been using Maybelline Age Rewind under eye concealer and it does a great job and it’s cheap. In 1990 I was 6 years old so just staying at home 🙂
Megan says
In 1990 I would have been awkward and shy in second grade.
Justine says
I was only 1 year old in 1990, so I was probably sleeping! lol
Anastasia says
For the past 2 months, I have been trying to convince myself that I do not need Urban Decay’s Vice palette. I already own 7 (show pony, vegan, roller girl, BOS III and IV, Naked 2, and the Black Palette), but Vice is just something else. The colors are so intriguing, and I still don’t own any eyeshadows with the new formula. Do I need it? Probably not. Do I want it so bad I feel like I’ll be incomplete without it? Definitely.
hazakaza says
I’m not sure what I was doing in 1990 . . . probably something terrible, like being three years old?
Anne says
In 1990 I was in first grade so I was playing jump rope and eating lots of candy.
Kiss & Make-up says
Yay for Saturday giveaways 😀 In 1990 I was three years old and probably not doing anything all that interesting… And as for big hair, I’d love to do it! But I can’t 🙁 Fine, lifeless hair ftl…
aclearcutsign says
I was 5 in 1990, and I was most likely playing with my little sister and dogs.
Tiffanie says
Bronzer is at the top of my makeup wish list! I’ve had the same compact for nearly three years and it’s almost gone!
Kristin says
In 1990 I was in second grade. It’s a great age because my fellow classmates didn’t realize how much of a dork I was yet. 2 years later I would get a perm and some fairly complex orthodontia and it was pretty rough until I got my braces off and my perm grew out.
By the way, I posted a response on the Monday questionnaire (not this past Monday but the one before) about how I was going to New York for the weekend. Yea… That turned out to be an eight day trip. I was staying with a friend on the upper west side so we still had water and power. A friend of ours works for an event & catering company downtown and they had just purchased 5 brand new Viking commercial ovens. When they went to check the kitchen on Wednesday they were floating in several feet of water 🙁
Bethany says
Have to agree with Agata about Maybelline Age Rewind being the best under eye concealer I have found too! Love the stuff!
Amy Z says
I’ve been using Tarte Dark Circle Defense for a few years now, and although it seems to be smoother than most. Undereye concealer is something I have to wear everyday so I like using an all-natural brand for it =)
Kelsey says
I was 4 years old in 1990, probably causing lots of trouble 🙂
Bonnie says
I was 9 in 1990, so I was busy being super awkward and nerdy.

Rosa says
I just got my Sigma travel brushes yesterday and I’m in love! Going out to Target today to buy the Sonia Kashuk flat tap brush that you recommended! Excited 🙂
Liz says
Well, I use bronzer as a contour or a blush. I use an angled blush brush by sephora if I’m contouring. If I’m using it as a blush, I reach for my bobbi brown blush brush.
Cristina says
My heart goes to the people affected by hurricane Sandy.
Jenny says
The best full coverage foundation for dry, flaky skin is probably one of the wax-based cream foundations like MAC full coverage or Graftobian with a healthy layer of moisturizer underneath.
emaskina says
I currently use the Real Techniques Contour Brush for bronzer. But I dream about Hakuhodo’s one.
Sharene says
Its perfect weather today for some hot chocolate and a good movie!
Nika says
I use an angled brush for bronzer although I haven’t really mastered the art of contouring just yet…

I think midterms just happened? Maybe? It’s all a caffeine-fueled rush @_@

Pam says
I was a sophomore in college in 1990.

Hey Karen! I love the MAC Mineralize concealer…Very good coverage but still doesn’t feel heavy. The colors seem to be a little off though so you may wanna swatch your regular color first to make sure it’s good.
aradhana says
if you find the clip on bangs, let me know!
as for the concealer – i like the studio sculpt by mac, but the key is to warm it up with the fingers!
auroragyps says
In 1990, I was a Junior in High School and it was a very shitty year. Also, I had big hair.. or at least big bangs.
Miso says
The 90’s was all about experimenting I was trying out blondissima hair dye which for black hair turns it basically yellow and a gothic grunge stage, and wow where do the embarrassing memories end!!
C R Williams says
3 more weeks

Daniella says
I don’t know if it’s good for dry flaky skin, but Kat VonD’s tattoo foundation is the best foundation I have ever, EVER used. I have blotchy combination skin and dark under eye circles and the stuff covers everything up without looking fake. I hope they never discontinue it.
Mintgreen says
In 1990, I was 9, dreaming about getting my first mascara (3 years later, Body Shop).
Mei says
Hi Karen!!! I abssolutely LOVE big hair!!! It might be because of my Southern upbringing haha!! The secret is the correct shampoo and conditioner, a cylindrical brush, big rollers, and a great hair dryer!!
Make sure you put in a heat protector before blow drying, my favorite is Tre Semme Heat Protectant!!

Supriya says
I was in the 4th grade in 1990!! 🙂
Rebecca says
I was 8 in 1990, and rockin’ out like 8 year olds do. But then I lost my groove when mommy dearest chopped off my long blond locks and gave me a bowl cut. Oh the horror! Mom said it was the Dorothy Hamill hair cut (sure, Dorothy Hamill became somewhat of an American icon after she won gold in women’s figure skating at the Olympics…..in 1976). Thanks Mom, lol.
And by the way, my favourite undereye concealer is, hands down, Skinfood Salmon Dark Circle Concealer Cream. It’s my go-to product when I want that, “hey, I’m bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning” look. Which is every morning.
Thanks for the contest, Karen!
Y. says

Natalie says
I love Sephora!
Kprice says
Yesterday I went for a make over at Sephora. I normally don’t even bother with under eye concealer because it looks so cakey or doesn’t stay on. I’d rather go without and have bags than obvious makeup. The MU used Tarte Marajuca Miracle on me and it wasn’t bad. Still wasn’t perfect but one of the best I’ve tried in awhile. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. Have a good weekend.
Helen says
I love Sephora!
Nikita says
In 1990 I was in first grade and was…probably being tricked out of eating my Jolly Ranchers. Something about the air pockets in the candy looking like boogers? Good times 😉
Paige says
What were you doing in 1990 – i was doing yoga in my momma’s tummy!
Do you do big hair? if i could figure out what to do with hair..
Full-coverage under-eye concealer that doesn’t look cakey? For me a tiny amount of Amazing Cosmetics or liquid Smashbox with a small sweep of MUFE set powder
Jess says
Clip-on bangs. What an interesting concept! My bangs are SO grown out and definitely need a trim now!
Alison says
In 1990, I was 11. I probably had on an LA gear denim ensemble or a hot pink OP shirt that said “Girls Surf Too.” And maybe some wet and wild lipgloss.

PS says
Happy Saturday! No bronzer for me. Too fair skinned.
elle says
thank you so much for the giveaway! i’d love to win 🙂
recently, i’ve been using korres lip butter, and it’s amazing! some balms/butters give you that shiny, greasy look on your lips, but not korres. 🙂 when it dries, the pigments stay on your lips, so they’re nicely-colored as well.
that’s the only beauty tip i have, haha.
Lena says
1990 was the year my family & I moved from St. Petersburg, Russia to America…I was seven!

I do big hair whenever there are high levels of humidity, my hair has its own mind….

I think Zena is going to drive me mad!
Michel says

Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
I turned 6 in 1990 so primary school! I wasn’t so happy about it in the beginning, because the adults kept threatening me about how hard I’d have to work. I think I have always been on the lazy side!
Andrea says
I’m on my way to work now… Not excited! haha
Theresa says
Haha I have no answers for any of those questions. I do not really use bronzers.. I did buy the tarantino cheek palette at sephora tho :)!
Jane says
OK, I am starting to feel old. I’m not even going to tell you what I doing in 1990. I think I’m old enough to be our favorite neighborhood beauty addict’s mother. But I still love cats and makeup and I could really use a Sephora gift card to purchase anti-aging products 🙂

BEST undereye concealer: IT Cosmetics, BYE BYE Undereye. I use the fair (or is it light? I am downstairs and IT is up.) Apply with brush, just need a tiny squirt, blend and pat with sponge and/or finger. It is the best I have ever used! EVER! Does not cake or crease. PERFECT! Love IT!!!
Kisses for TABS.
Jen
Katty says
Marathon tomorrow!
Missy M says
I do love some big hair, though it never stays enough for me
Solangel says
My hair does big hair on its own, to be honest.
Mina says
Hope I win!
Jamie says
I wasn’t born until 1991, haha! I use the Real Techniques Contour brush for bronzer, and I’ve been having the worst trouble finding a concealer that will cover my dark circles. Can’t find one with full enough coverage.
Kristin says
My hair takes too much work to get it big; which makes me sad as I love big hair.
Isabella says
My favorite eyeshadow has to be armani eyes to kill! It gets painful when I go to the counter though lol
Step says
I sure don’t know any concealer that doesn’t cake up. I’ve tried several and just given up. Powder concealer worked okay as far as texture, but was really light.
Shirin says
The best full coverage foundation for dry skin is definitely the Laura Mercier silk cream foundation! It has a satin finish so it makes your skin look Dewey and bright instead of dry and flaky. It’s a bit on the pricier side but its definitely worth it!
Ana B. says
i want to win pleeeeeeaaaase
sweeks1980 says
I have a sinking feeling I was obsessed with Sweet Valley High in 1990. In my defense, I was 10 years old…
Holly says
I love big hair, but mine is so fine it never holds. I’m still looking for the right combination of products to give me lasting volume!
Let says
I wasn’t born yet in 1990.
BB says
I haven’t found a bronzer I like but if I did I might use one of the Real Techniques Face Brushes.
Christine says
In 1990 I wasn’t born (but almost!)
Cara says
I was born in 1990 (November 5th, to be exact!)
Elle says
A great tip to fix dryness around the eyes for the upcoming winter days – Aquaphor! It keeps your skin soft and moisturized.
Erin says
Right now, I am loving Bobbi Brown high shimmer gloss in Citrus. Soooooo sparkly! Also, Tabs is totally gorg.
Sara says
I wasn’t born yet in 1990!
Sherry B. says
Recovering from extreme trauma in 1990. ’nuff sed.
Nora says
Love sephora
Lynn says
omgosh i just hit up Sephora today…and there’s so many beauty sets that i want! i really love the AmorePacific for $150, which is the same price for one moisturizer…have you tried?
Boo says
I would be so happy if my Sephora were staffed by cats! They have so much to teach us about style and class.
Lauren Peabody says
So jealous you are at the Kelly concert. I saw her in June and she was amazing!
Vanessa F says
I have never liked big hair on me. Even when I was little and my mom would hot roller my hair and puff it out, I would try and smooth it down.
Amy says
I’ve beeb obsessing over contouring brushes lately. Just bought MAC 168, and still trying to decide whether it’s better than The Body Shop’s blush brush for cheek contouring. Thoughts?
I love cats, too. I have my own Tabs. His name is Domi. 🙂
Grace says
I don’t know of any undereye concealers that are full coverage and dont cake (sounds impossible!) but my favorite one is a solid medium-coverage cream concealer (the hidden agenda concealer palette in 07). The salmon shade works wonders on my dark eyebags!
Grace says
I love big hair! My hair is fine and flat 🙁 I love curls and volume! In 1990 I was in the 8th grade. My oh my those were good times, life was so simple and care free!
AmyE says
In 1990, I was starting college. Feel so old. lol
Brenda says
in 1990, i wasnt even born yet ! 😮 >.>
Melodyy says
I wasn’t born in 1990 🙁 my sister was 1 though! I use an angled contour brush for my bronzer. I use Eve Pearl’s Salmon Concealer for my under eye, I don’t have dry, flaky skin so I have no idea 🙁
Kim says
I am really liking Almay’s WakeUp foundation, It has just the right amount of moisture.
martha says
My Kitty’s bedtime is 9:30pm and he loves bedtime because he gets treats!
CatherineW says
I just received Jo Malone cologne in Grapefruit for my birthday. It smells fantastic on its own and layered with other scents as well!
Tina Renee says
In 1990 I was 25; wearing a size 2, tanning and teasing my big hair.
Krystle says
Today at the mall there was a cat show! So bizarre!
laura says
The best under eye concealer I’ve used is the maybelline dream-lumi. doesn’t cake and really brightens the eyes.
Dahlia says
In 1990 I was an awkward 12 yr old who’d just gotten her first pair of eyeglasses 8-D.
I am dying to win this gift card to treat myself to the sephora in the glow set that I can’t justify spending $45 for ( no full size products in this one!).
Nina says
i love laura mercier’s undereye concealer.
Judy says
Happy Birthday to me! I think I bought myself more gifts than other people combined hahaha
Mylinda says
I want a new foundation brush because the one I’m using is hurting my face!
Amaris says
I wasn’t born until 1992 :p
Barbara says
Went to Youmacon today and going again tomorrow! There was some interesting makeup there!
eRiN says
I believe I was in preschool. And, I like Estee Lauder Double Wear for full-coverage foundation. Almost any foundation “bounced” lightly onto the skin with a damp beauty blender-type sponge will work on dry flaky skin, because it doesn’t pull the skin in any direction like rubbing with fingers or a brush would.
Katie says
I can’t honestly say that I remember what I was doing in 1990…but I definitely did big hair, or at least I sat there while it happened to me.
Sandy says
I love love love Sephora!
monika says
The bigger the hair, the closer to god:)Thats the rule in my hair routine……..
Jen C says
Cats WILL run the world by 2020. Watch. 🙂
Oh, and in 1990, I think I was running around in a princess costume bent on destroying any and everything. *shrug*
Dhavi says
1990 – highschool and BIG hair, very little make up.
Bonnie says
1990? I was in the middle of elementary school and loving it.
Stephanie Y says
1990 I was in middle school 🙂
Amanda Sakovitz says
I love MAC pots for foundation. they cover a lot and dont dry your skin
margaret says
i’m watching psycho-pass episode 1.
Jay says
I’m pretty much obsessed with Sephora and in 1990, I was 1 years old! hahah
Chunyi says
i hear hard candy’s glamoflague is pretty good, just have a light hand when blending
Roxanne says
My cat will not stay off the laptop. At all. It’s driving me crazy.
Shannon says
1990: I was 13. No more need be said about that.
Brooke says
In 1990, I was nine, so probably swooning over nkotb and wearing a lot of neon and side ponys.
milagros says
i like MAC but the prep & prime face protect spf 50 didnt work as i was expecting 🙁
elle says
I’ve got a rough week ahead…but winning a Sephora gift card would make it better. 🙂
@PiratePigg says
In 1990 I was -3!!!! So I guess I was not victim to the fashion of the time-dark lip liner AND frosty lip gloss????? Holy shit. I would never use this gift card to commit such heinous crimes.
Maddy says
Sadly, in 1990 the world was not yet graced by my presence :/
Maria says
Aww, so cute & a great giveaway! $50 Sephora gift card… Come to mama!
KaylaP says
Hmmmm 1990…that would put me at the age of.. *does math* 3 years of age! :O I bet I was up to no good lol!
Nichole Clark says
The New Years Eve going from ’89 into ’90 was the first time a really truly *got* it. Before then I just thought it was a kind of boring holiday where I counted down from ten along with Dick Clark and soon after school would be back from winter break.
But that night my mom said “Coley, this is a fun one because we’re going into a new decade, something we only do every ten years. But this time when the new decade is over it’ll also be a new century, something that only happens every 100 years and it’ll be a new millenium, something that only happens every 1000 years. It’s special because it’s the beginning of the end of something.”
That concept just flat out blew my 8 year old brain. Every New Years since then it’s what I think about.
So….that’s what I was doing at the very beginning of 1990.
Jess L says
I look forward to this giveaway every week Karen! Currently working on crocheting a baby blanket since I have a nephew on the way. Feeling like I need a beauty blog break. 🙂
Sarah G says
In 1990, I’m pretty sure I was making friendship bracelets, putting on backyard concerts and planning my future wedding to Jordan Knight. 😉
Today, I’m still following Jordan Knight around once in a while, trying to keep my big hair at bay and scouring your comments for good full-coverage concealer, which my 32 year-old self needs desperately now. lol
emily says
In 1990, I was likely making cheesy song dedications to my bestie in our middle school newsletter. 🙂
Claudia S. says
I am really diggin the cat silhouettes on your website!
Amanda says
Hmm preschool in 1990.
Melissa says
1999 – I was 10 years old, having the time of my life.
Sara says
1990 I was doing what any other 4 year old was doing watching cartoons.
Camille Domingo says
going to answer your default question: in 1990, i was living in the philippines. my dad was stationed there, until we had to evacuate due to the eruption of mt. pinatubo. such a crazy experience, but pretty cool to be a part of history. :o)
Nikki A says
In 1990 I was a 13 year old high school freshman. Hammer pants, spandex bike short sets, and teased bangs. No pictures, thank goodness! 🙂 Love that you have a Sphinx in the pic! My friend’s Sphinx Rajah passed from skin cancer a couple of months ago, I really miss him.
Toby says
I have the worst luck with undereye concealers — everything either looks cakey or slides around my face, & NOTHING conceals my circles. 🙁
Joy P. says
I was still in preschool during 1990 🙂
aurora says
9 minutes too late
Tiffany Starks says
I absolutely love Sephora. This gift card would totally make my holiday since right now I am B.O.B. (Ballin’ on a budget).
Yile says
just came into the world in 1990! 😀
linda says
Great prize!
angela says
Do you need a separate bronzer brush? I use the blush brush I got from a sephora brush set a while back.
edith says
1990 omg I was nine years old had big teased hair and wearing a lot of neon clothes with matching socks & scrunchies oh yeah can’t forget wearing my keds.

Monika C says
Its my birthday tomorrow and my sister got me Remington Amaze airstyler so my hair will be big from now on! It has 5different styling thingies so you can make your hair different every day of the week:)
Alyssa says
Circa 1990 I was 4! I don’t have much more to say about that. Though circa 2000 I was 14 and all I have to say about that was I used about a bottle a day of hair gel! Thanks for this awesome giveaway every weekend!
Tiffany N says
In 1990 I was entering Kindergarten, gees! My favorite foundation is actually a BB cream(Missha Perfect Cover)! This giveaway is Amazing, I always see it but never enter because I can’t imagine I’d win! Haha thanks for the opportunity though! 🙂
Kaoyee says
In 1990, i was 8 yrs old. The good ol’ days of being a kid with no worries.
Abbie says
1990…Let’s see…
I was 5 years old, so I guess I was playing with My Little Ponies, or eating overcooked pasta with butter (I was a picky eater).
terry says
you were right. i wasn’t born yet. LOL.
Diane says
I was watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1990, LOL! For concealer not to look cakey on me the first thing I do (after sunscreen) is put a little eye moisturizer (Clinique Repairwear Intensive eye cream or Clinique All About Eyes) wait a few minutes, then put the concealer of choice on (these days it’s Benefit’s Stay Don’t Stray.) Voila! No cakey under-eye makeup.
HillaryJan says
I can’t remember the name of the bronzer brush I use but it’s the 2nd biggest gold brush by Real Techniques.
Nicolle says
Thanks so much for having this giveaway!
Vicki says
In 1990 I was being a bridesmaid to my cousin in a fetching peach get-up and I was glued to the World Cup in Italy that summer.
Anna M. says
Ciao Karen! I’m at home, in Italy (near Como), it’s sunday, it’s cold and raining and I have to work for the most boring project that the Earth has never ever seen… at least I have your giveaway to feel a little bit lucky 😀 thanks for the chance!
Un bacio a te e Tabs!
terri says
I would have loved to have seen Kelly Clarkson in concert! It sounds amazing.
BeckBeck says
If you find a full (or medium) coverage foundation that works for dry flaky skin, please post about it! I have a weird skin situation and I need some coverage, but some foundations not only highlight dry patches, they dry them out more and make my face itch 😛
Regina says
I have been loving Taylor Swift’s RED album! Everyone should definitely listen to ‘Red’ and ‘Everything Has Changed’. They are my fave songs!
Shana says
My skin is dry, and I love Bobbi Brown for foundation. I just use the stick where I need more coverage.
Jennifer P. says
Hi! Last week I saw Argo in theaters–such a great movie!
Andrea A. says
I spent 3 hours at a sephora store yesterday…oops!!
Peggy says
Yeay for the contest! Good luck all!
Nicole says
In 1990, I was 7 years old. I would probably have been on a massive post-Halloween sugar high.
Luciana Diniz Lima says
1990 – living in San José-CA
irini says
I wasn’t born in 1990 🙂
Julie says
In 1990, I was chilling out in kindergarten, watching cartoons, learning how to read!
aubrie says
In 1990 I was 8, so I guess I was sitting in 3rd grade. Oh and my sister had just been born, goodbye being an only child.
Debbie says
So cold here!
E says
As some other comments have pointed out, neon was BIG in 1990. And I was wearing it.
Lexi says
For bronzer brushes – can sometimes depend on the bronzer. If I’m using my regular TF Milk Chocolate Soleil, I use a fluffy brush I got from Walmart – their HD brushes are awesome but can be hard to find. If I’m using my PF Happy Booster bronzer, I use the EcoTools Finishing Kabuki (this is great for bronzer, all over powder, or finishing powder).
JingYee says
During 90, i’m not born yet. I always love sephora cosmetics , especially M.A.C and bobbi brown
Justin says
In 1990, I was a freshman in high school…wow, I feel OLD!
Beth says
In 1990 I was about to graduate college, completely unsure of what I was going to do when I “grew up”!
tabbie says
Stressed…!!!! Need chocolate & makeup.
Amanda says
I use the EcoTools bronzer brush, which I luuuuuurve so much. Although I don’t actually wear bronzer much, so mostly I use it for highlighters. So fluffy!
Rachel says
In 1990, I was 9 and had the worst hair ever! It was a mullet of sorts, but worse – my mom had the top part permed so it looked like a poodle, then the back had my natural waves! UGH!!!
kara says
1990? wasn’t born yet!!!
saffron says
I got curly as all get out hair, so big hair is *all* I do, yo. 😛 Thanks for the contest!
Bel P. says
I am currently using Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles (just realized what a mouthful that was) and am really loving it!
dani says
I just started wearing contacts in lieu of glasses, and it’s weird to me that I feel like I need to wear less makeup to avoid looking “over done” with glasses, I always used more. Now I’m having to tone things down…
Yukari says
If I won I would use it to get the UD Naked palette, Tarte blush or to get a Christmas gift!
Petya says
1990 I was in high school 🙂
Reilly says
i use maybelline bb cream for a light foundation coverage and love it ♥
Caitlin says
I think the Sephora VIB Friends and Family sale is coming up. Whoever wins the gift card will totally hit the jackpot!
Rosie says
Been loving MAC Scarlet Ibis lately -such a gorgeous red! Love your blog!
knownever says
Can’t wait till the power is back and I can stop imposing on relatives/friends with electricity.
Sara says
I was navigating the 8th grade scene.. and dancing to Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation – pretty sure it came out then…
Janet says
Hi Karen, I had a great day yesterday. I ran my first 5k race, The Color Run. It was so much fun. Basically you run the course and every kilometer was a color station where they throw colored powder at you so in the end you look like something out of Willy Wonka’s factory! Definitely doing this again next year!
Cassidey says
Still looking for the perfect bronzer brush!
Katrina says
Come on probability!
H. says
In 1990 I was 10 and decided I wanted a perm… A “body wave,” to be specific. Oh, the horror!
Melinda says
Wow, 1990. I was a big-toothed 10 year old who had just gotten a particularly nerdy pair of glasses. I’ve still got kinds big teeth, but my glasses (and contacts) have vastly improved.
jane says
need a new bb cream!
Jenna N. says
Benefit’s Erase Paste is my favorite full-coverage undereye concealer. It can look cakey if you aren’t careful, or put too much of it on, but when it’s applied right, it looks great and really covers up undereye circles!
Darlene says
I haven’t found a good concealer as yet 🙁
Saddy says
In 1990, I was 4 years old; so probably being an super cool kid about town. 😉
Rita O. says
In 1990 I was six years old and OBSESSED with Michael Jackson.
Libby says
I haven’t found the perfect under eye concealer yet; but Kat Von D tattoo concealer is pretty good for under eyes.
Selena says
I honestly would LOVE to shop at a Sephora run by cats.
Lauren says
In 1990 I was 5 years old and rocking the heck out of my stirrup pants.
Joy says
I was ten. And in fourth grade. So being picked on by the teachers daughter aka bully that tried to get under my skin for years.
Kara says
After having gone through two naked palettes, I’ve finally caved–I really want to try the naked 2! I’m still doubtful it’ll beat the original but I’m so late to the bandwagon and Perversion would be a huge addition to my serious lack of intense black shadows. Here’s to hoping this gift card can cover the cost 🙂
Jaa Maurer says
I use real technique brush for my bronzer =D
Natalie says
I am reading your blog with a little red and white cat snuggled up to my left arm. 🙂
Marisa says
1990 I was 9. I was probably rockin’ a perm and some sort of shirt with a cat on it.
Katherine says
I’m visiting my cousin in San Francisco this weekend and having a blast!
Nobu says
Gt a clip less curling iron the other day. It’s so much easier to use! Finally I can make my pin straight Asian hair curly 🙂
Christina says
Hmmm, in 1990, I was six years old and extremely awkward. And probably bugging our cat!
Atifa says
Essence Stay With Me Longlasting Lipgloss in Candybar– Beautiful colour, smells amazing. If you haven’t already, check it out! High fives for Karen! 🙂
HK says
I was 5 in 1990… Ahh the sweet days of childhood!!
Vanessa says
I use my small MAC blush brush to apply bronzer.

Having a relaxing Sunday 🙂
Aelyn K says
In 1990, I was just discovering the world of Disney 🙂
Jacqueline says
I had big curly hair (which I fluffed out with a pick!!!), big shoulder pads, big oversized sweaters… ugh!
Jessie says
In 1990 I was getting ready to become a big sister for the first time. Pretty exciting stuff!
christine says
Hi Karen! Happy Sunday and thank you for this awesome giveaway!
Tasnia says
Would love love love to get the Naked Palette if I win!

Kim Law (kimmydadiva) says
Maybelline 24 hr tattoos eyeshadow are great primer/base, I wore one of them for 16 hrs and I was amazed at how my Wetn Wild eyeshadow look held up over it.
Lydia says
In 1990, I was in kindergarten!
Ashlie says
Love any Laura Mercier foundations for my dry skin! Really want to try the silk creme foundation next.
Barbara says

blkrox says
I was a junior in 1990, working at Jack In The Box!
Kinille says
In 1990, i wasnt even born yet since im a 93 baby. But looking back i think the fashion was so funny, but then again i guess that people will always look back thinking fashion of the time is funny
steph b says
In 1990 I was finishing high school and starting college. Seems like eons ago.
Ruchita says
Ah 1990 – I think I was just finishing 8th grade that year!
Preetha says
1990-times of good memories, was in my 5th grade. Mac studio sculpt is good for dry skin i think.
Erin Henschel says
If I’m honest, in 1990 I was three years old but I know my love affair with makeup had already begun. Now I’m 24 and I have to watch out for my rescue pitbull Margo, because she too loves makeup, at least she very much loves to eat it. Margo’s particular favorites include bare mineral brushes and eyeshadow palettes. I thouhgt naming her Margo would inspire her to be more of a lady but so far it’s only inspired her to eat all my lipgloss, and red is not her color…
Michelle says
In 1990-…I wasn’t born yet so I’m not sure what I was doing at the time haha.
Awww…I would totally bring my cats with me to sephora. But they’re boys so I’m not sure how it’ll work ahhaha
Lilly says
Sunday night already?
Aysha Habib says
In 1990, I was two years old and living in the U.A.E. with my parents.
Gina G says
1990? I would have been around ten years old. Very depressed and had attempted suicide the year prior. Wow that is a really bummer thing to post haha! I am happy now. 🙂
amanda says
In 1990 I was born 🙂
Alix says
I love halo-halo!

Nic says
In 1990 I believe I had just gotten my first pair of huge and horrible glasses. They were awful. Just awful.
Janet says
Big hair is a no-no for me, and I’m looking for a good concealer too!
Allisa says
I was only 2 years old in 1990 so I have no recollection of what I was up to… probably a lot of crying.
Ellen says
LOVE giorgio armani concealer – their makeup is made for photographing, so it’s got great coverage and a great finish. I just ordered the maestro concealer – can’t wait!
madi says
i <3 sephora! I love pink nail polish and purple.
Jasmine says
For bronzer I like to use my Quo bronzer brush or my MAC 109 brush. Lately my skin has been really dry and very flaky. This is because I’m using clindoxyl gel. Well I stopped using it because I couldn’t handle how tight my skin got. So I used it for four nights and my skin is still flaking a week later. I can’t wear makeup because it looks so terrible. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I drink lots of water and moisturize but I would like to speed up the healing process.
Melissa says
In 1990 I was 6 years old and really into Alf and Hello Kitty
Wendy Ramsaur says
I waste time at work filling my online Sephora cart. I never have enough money to buy it. There’s currently about $350 worth of stuff in there. Help me make my dream cart a reality!
Rebecca says
In 1990 I was 14, starting high school, getting braces put on, and thinking I would soon outgrow my acne.
Now I’m 36 and while my teeth are straight my acne is worse than ever. I can’t believe I’m still dealing with this blotchy, pimply, pore-clogged skin while also trying to treat wrinkles and hide gray hairs.
A Sephora spree would make me feel SO much better…
Alex says
Sephora dreamland. I could spend days in there. 🙂
Windie says
Glad for the extra hour. But, weekend has gone by so quickly.
Deseire says
Hi Karen, I have been loving your website for so long and your awesome giveaways. You have def. inspired me to follow my blogging hobby, as well as brighten up my day! Would love to win the Sephora gift card
gabby says
I use this old school Stila Bronzer brush to apply my bronzer. It is a retractable brush and it isn’t that great but when I bought it years ago, I thought $30 was a lot of money for a brush and always seems to go back to it!
Katrina says
400th comment! Exciting!
Kristina says
I do love big hair, in fact I’m considering trying out a beehive!
Fallon says
In 1990 I was not born yet :/ BUT three years later I made my entrance in to this world! 🙂 I don’t remember it, but I bet it was fantastic.
Liz says
In 1990 I was a Lieutenant junior grade in the Navy assigned to VRC-50 at Cubi Point, RP. Late in the year I transferred to Surface Warfare Officer School in preparation to being assigned to a ship. Fun times! I loved the ship stuff but still miss the Philippines. Gorgeous place with reallly nice people and good food. 🙂
Katie says
I don’t think my hair can do anything but big, LOL. It’s very thick and extremely curly, so I’ve had to learn to embrace big hair.
In 1990 I was in preschool – I always got in trouble for not wanting to take naps. I would always insist that I wanted to read instead. The teachers thought I was lying about knowing how to read and called my mom to tell her I was being bad, but she got mad at them because I did know how to read! After that, I got to read quietly while everyone else had to take naps. Come to think of it, I still often find myself reading instead of sleeping…
Mariah says
In 1990, I was a bun in the oven!
Lorraine ER says
I love that picture though!!
christine says
I was in high school in 1990 wearing my MAC Dubonnet and Aqua Net.
Kimberly says
In 1990 I gave birth to my first child, my beautiful daughter. Whew boy does that make me feel old, & today just happens to be my birthday too!

I just got a new cat. Sadly I think I might be allergic to her 🙁
Wynell says
I use my elf blush brush for bronzer
MelodyJ says
In 1990 I was in high school not sure what to do next.
Tatyana G says
Finally got our power back here on the east coast. Sandy did quite a damage here everywhere. Lots of people are without power. So thankful to have hot water, heat and running refrigerator.
Rachel Davidson says
Im craving pumpkin cupcakes and chai tea. I also want to get my hands on the lorac pro pallette from sephora
katie says
Hmmm what to say… I looove sephora. I think I would buy the LORAC pro palette if I won. In 1990 I was in junior high and it was all about big bangs. The bigger the better. Ha! Good times. I wonder if the fashions I wear today will age as poorly?
Jasmine says
In 1990 I would’ve been 4 years old and in kindergarten 🙂
LAURA says
I went to Sephora today and tested out all the new holiday palettes. So many great choices for gifts!! I ended up taking home Nars Glow Foundation for me and the Buxom lip gloss set for my bestie.. Thanks for all your reviews Karen, you help me out with makeup tips all the time.
Jeny says
Well, today i spent the day doing my mom’s makeup, cleaning my makeup brushes with the Sonia Kashuk brush and sponge cleaner i bought today, and watching sappy romantic/romantic-comedy movies while i made mixtapes for my friends…you know the kind people in movies make for the person they have a crush and what not. I didn’t have cassette tapes so i put it on a cd. one of the songs on the mixtapes is Thirteen by Big Star. It makes me happy. But in 1990, i wasn’t thought of til 5 years later, which makes me 17 now. I enjoy makeup, a lot. However, I go barefaced to school because i enjoy the extra 10 minutes of sleep. I like frosted sugar cookies and have eaten too many chocolate chip cookies that i don’t enjoy them anymore. I really like mashed potates and gravy with honey smoked ham on the side, which make me happy that thanksgiving is going to come around and that i get to watch christmas specials. I was wonder woman for halloween. I made the costume the day of with my mom. she’s awesome.
Jeny says

A concealer that doesn’t cake up? That’s an urban legend.
Mary says
In 1990 I was in kindergarten–and blonde, which is strange to think about now. My hair turned dark brown!
And I use a big fluffy Sonia Kashuk powder brush for bronzer.

I actually don’t wear bronzer so I don’t know what brush I would use!
Mary says
I love big hair for costumes, but most of the time I spend my days in ponytails. But when I do want big hair, I flip my hair upside-down and blow dry it that way… then I come up looking like Barbarella!
