December first already… Can you believe it? Christmas is this month!
It feels weird to say, and I’m not ready for it, either. Not at all.
The malls around here have been slowly but surely ramping up their holiday decorations and displays, but now that it’s December, they’re gonna go all out. Folks are gonna go buck wild at the mall, haaay! Get your hands off my votive candle, b*tch! I saw it first!!
I usually love this time of year, but I am not not ready for it yet… Heck, I’m still full from Thanksgiving!
Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of pull with the calendar committee, if you know what I mean. They’re not exactly waiting for my approval out here in Novato (“Alright, let’s do this! Karen says it’s okay!”), so I guess I better get with the program.
Yup…
How are you doing out there? Do you have a minute to enter this weekend’s Sephora eGift card giveaway? You could win an extra $50 to spend over the holidays. The deets are down below, but it’s easy. It only takes a comment at the bottom of this post (and possibly a tweet for a second chance to win), and it can be a comment about anything.
Anything! — like you could type, “Pumpkins are poo-rific, and I love red wine!” Or, you could type, “Speak like Yoda do I. Love makeup I do.”
Done. You’d be entered. 🙂
Good luck! And have a great weekend.
What folks are saying…
“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie“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“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night!”
-Zharlynne“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)“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

Ashley Simmons says

Andrea says
I recently purchased some of the Blackheart polishes from Hot Topic, as well as their black glitter liner, sour lime eyeshadow, and melodrama lipstick which is a lovely shade of dark purple (my husbands new favorite color on me). The eyeshadow surprised me a great deal in its coverage, long lastingness <– that is now a word. And the fact that it was just as bright on my skin as it was in its package.
Lisa Brown says
No holiday parties for me.

We are hosting Christmas for the first time…YIKES!

I think the biggest Drugstore hit of the year for me is The Milani Cosmetics Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Eyeliner for being so precise and pigmented!
Ren says
Hm… Well I do love red wine. But I think I’d love a sephora gift card even more. It’d be so nice to share with my mom who gives up so much to make sure everyone is happy. She needs some spoiling :), god knows she deserves it!
Trisha says
I’m obsessed with this time of year … Seems like I’ve been waiting all year long for December to come again but now that it’s here I’m feeling that more pressured to enjoy it to the fullest. Also wanted to say even though i haven’t been posting in a while, your site is a daily stop for me! I have three busy kiddos so coming here to enjoy some fun reading and excellent product reviews is my escape 🙂 wishing you and your fam a lovely holiday!!
Katrina says
I’m hosting Christmas this year and I’m so excited!
Step says
For my drugstore pick, I’ve been enjoying the mega plush maybelline mascara. It’s really light and comfortable to wear. It doesn’t make my lashes look very dramatic, but it doesn’t get hard and stiff either. It’s a good for low key days.
auroragyps says
Zeal & I are having my parents, & maybe their dog, at our apt for the first time this year. They won’t be here all day, because we’re really just doing dinner & dessert. I might wear my Xmas tee (it’s a dusty sea foam green/aqua with a white kitty & an orange kitty under mistletoe… it’s such a cool & different Xmas tee and you would love it ;-)) with my ‘around the house’ wine zip up hoodie sweater. Don’t know about pants, but it will either be a pair of my more special comfy flannel pj bottoms (which I wear around the house all the time) or maybe the new teal skinny jeans cords I’m waiting for from Old Navy (depends on if they fit and how comfy they are). I rarely wear makeup for around the house, but maybe I’ll just put a wash of a colored shadow on my eyes and a lip gloss on… and nail polish, of course.
Happy Holidays Guys!
brittany says
happy holidays!!
Marla says
I love Sephora.
Sienna says
i can’t believe it is december already, either! eek!
Brittany k says
Don’t think it’s product of the year worthy, but can I say how much I love seasonal peppermint Chapstick? Obsessed!
Melissa says
Christmas is my favorite!! I love sitting by the fire, watching Will Ferrell dressed as an Elf, and decorating with lights. And shopping!— even if it’s not for me! haha! Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! ðŸŽ
jessica davis says
I LOVE â¤ðŸŽ„⛄â„☔ December and doing all our (My 6 year old and I) yearly Christmas traditions, decorating the tree, making Christmas cookies and just made our gingerbread house!
I’m a snowboarder, but want to try skiing this year!
My makeup look has been a neutral smoky eye with Chanel pink lips! But I’m running out of lipgloss and mascara. 😊
Thanks for the giveaway!
laura says
I’m wearing chanel’s steel on my nails right now.
Diana says
I just bought some new lipstick!
Shelby says
Just discovered Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2. I know. It’s amazing!!!!!!
Jeney says
My product of the year would have to be either the Revlon Balm Stains or Lip Butters. It’s hard to decide!
bin du says
we had our first snowfall of the year yesterday and surprisingly it lasted through the night! The weird part is that tomorrow is supposed to be 12 degrees (celsius)…
Pearl says
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is my favorite drugstore purchase of all time! I love it!
mn says
Is this my lucky week?
Teresa O says
I am just chillin with my nephew and decorating the tree. Pink, purple and silver this year. Fa la la la!

Emily says
Happy December everyone.
Aida says
I’m really hoping to see more Burberry beauty reviews soon. I’ve become completely obsessed with this brand ha ha! Hope you’ll have a wonderful December!
Lindsay says
I’d say my favorite drugstore beauty buy this year are the L’Oreal Infallible eye shadows. I’d never seen anything like them when they came out and I have a bunch of them now. My favorite is liquid diamond. It’s a beautiful lavender that I think would look good on anybody.
As for the holidays, I’m not a big party person, but I was thinking of going skiing again. It’s been ages since I have. I ride horses competitively, and I think skiing actually uses some of the same leg muscles and it would be a good supplement. I’d have thighs of steel if I was able to ski on a regular basis!
Alison says
I’ve never skied or snowboarded!
Megan says
My fave makeup look this week is dark green eyeshadow with gold on the inner third of my eyelid.
saffron says
I just realized that, with the 3 discounts I got from sephora this fall, I ordered the same skin care product 3 times. I don’t use many high end skin care products, and every time I got a discount I was like, I should pick that up since I’ll use it up anyways. Didn’t realize til now that I had done it more than once, much less three freaking times. ><
Rosalyn says
I can’t wait for Christmas this year! It’s my sons first Christmas

Ahh! I have finals and they are stressing me out!
Hannah S. says
Can’t wait to be on break from school – seeing my family will be good.
Jessie says
Those Revlon balm stain things are totally worth it at the drugstore. And they’re not just a dupe of a high end product, either.
Sara says
Hi Karen! Happy Sunday!
katie says
Crossing my fingers! Love the sephora gingerbread house!!
Kristin says

Jenn says

Man, $50 at Sephora would be SO fun right now. I always get kind of blah right around this time. I couldn’t even choose a polish color for my mani today, eek.
That said, I finally got my hands on Illamasqua Creator and it totally lived up to the hype.
Kate & Zena says
Happy Saturday!
mrsshukra says
Long lines at Sephora when I was there yesterday and the day before yesterday!

I’m wearing Hourglass Dune duo and Bobbi Brown Forest Shimmer Ink on my eyes today!

How does Tabs feel about Christmas trees? I can only decorate the top half of mine. Anything close to the bottom gets destroyed by my cats.
Vicki says
I’m wearing Urban Decay Buck, YDK, and Virgin on my eyes right now, along with some Clinique eyeliner and falsies. 🙂

Amy says
Rockin’ my new darker color and bangs. Will need new eyebrow powder for my blonde brows 🙂 Thanks!
Vanessa F says
Just put on Sinful Colors last chance, a great dark green. I love wearing dark, vampy colors this time of year!
MF says
My favorite look this week was pretty basic, but it consisted of Bobbi Brown’s Sand Pink blush, a bronze eyeliner, and muted raspberry lip gloss. Simple, but it completed my new chartreuse sweater perfectly!

Tiffany says
I grew up in Minnesota, and now love out east, so the warm temps don’t put me in the spirit as much. However, I prefer them to being in the twenties! Lol
Michi says
This week I am loving my Naked2 palette in a way I haven’t been able till now! I thought it was a bit too dark for natural looks on me, but now I’m all about using Foxy all over my lid, highlight with Booty Call, just a little Tease in the crease. Pretty matte and chill, but the cream/peach/taupe combo is different from my usual beige/tan/yawnnn. 😉
Toby says
I’m usually pretty good with presents for everybody BUT my parents. I have my mom’s present figured out (thankfully), but my dad is SO hard to shop for!
Deb says
I would love to win this gift card to buy UD matte nude eyeshadow palette!

It’s My Birthday!

Karen, I found the cutest ornaments for my kitties and puppy at World Market today!

Jennifer says
Hi Karen & TABS TERRIFIC!
Today, I finally finished the Cal King button-tufted padded headboard I have been working on/constructing/upholstering for 2 months!!!! What a project, but I am done at last and it is gorgeous. Now, I just have to figure out how to get it home from the Home Decor Learning Center (in Concord, CA) since it won’t fit in my Suburu Forrester. And with this rain we’re having I can’t tie it to the roof rack. The weather peeps say to batten down the hatches because tomorrow morning is going to be a drowner–with you Karen and Tabs being in Novato (Marin) you might want to plan on staying in for the day–you all will be getting drenched!
Cheerio!
Jennifer

Stephanie Y says
Catching up on Game of Thrones today.
Vanessa says
This week, I liked less make-up. I let my pale face through. I just filled in my eyebrows and tight-lined my eyes.

TrippyPixie says
I’ve never been skiing, snowboarding, or ice skating before. It’s basically an unwritten rule in my house that I’m not allowed to do any of these things, since I’m such a klutz. I’d probably injure myself somehow. XD
Anna says
Best drugstore product is NYX’s blush in Taupe for sculpting!
Emma says

Jessica says
I hope this year I get White Christmas!
jess says
I love your blog! It’s informative, witty, and cat-tastic! And let me just say that your photoshop prowess is something to aspire to! 🙂 I suppose I’ll take this time now to tell my favorite drugstore beauty product…burt’s bees tinted lip balms, the ones in the cardboard tubes and brown packaging. they’re creamy and add the perfect amount of day wear color. I just saw that some new colors came out, in fact the bees line just came out with a whole new lip range, I would love it if you reviewed it! Thanks for this gift card opportunity!! Happy holidays!!
Boo says
I get very resistant about entering shopping centers in December – online shopping is the way to go!

Jenny D says
The Sephora in the Eaton Centre moved and supposedly has all kinds of stuff the other stores don’t – a MUFE boutique, Julep, and more. I’d love an excuse to go down and check it out.
stacy says
Not quite in the spirit but am getting there. Watched Elf as we decorated the tree. I KNOW SANTA! Yes, I could easily find some things at Sephora to perk up my looks for the holidays.

Hi Karen and Tabs!
Here in China (where the internet is painfully slow and censored, but thank goodness that MBB isn’t blocked!), Christmas is becoming a bigger and bigger thing.
I’d love cosmetics as gifts from my friends but my local Sephora and Walmart only carry SUPER expensive imported makeup!
I’ll be visiting America during winter break, and with that $50 gift card, the NAKED palette is mine! hehe :3
Happy Holidays and be well! <3

I bought myself an early Christmas gift, an ADORABLE folding bike!! I love it so much. I already named it Pli (which is French for ‘fold’) going to try to incorporate a daily bike ride for a portion of my work commute.
And snowboard vs skiing..I wish I could snowboard, I tried and wound up with a black and blue left buttcheek. I stick to skiing the bunny slope all day. I ski like a slowpoke but I love it.

Let me think…first Xmas party for me and hubby this year. He previously worked at small companies who didn’t have parties, and I’ve been a public servant since graduating university, so we don’t have Xmas parties, since it would be at the taxpayers expense.

Karyn says
I grew up in a country with warm climate all year round. Hot and sunny weather = no snow. So being a college student here in the US gave me the opportunity to experience winter. 🙂 I’ve only been skiing once so I spent most of my time falling on my butt or trying to get up. But, it was still an enjoyable experience and I’d love to go again this winter!

Today my boyfriend and I celebrated our 6th anniversary. I don’t ever like to make a big deal of things, but I suppose this would be a good opportunity. It’s been tough, but I love his goofy butt. I hope you’ve been having a good weekend, too! We went out for sushi. I think you should, too. =)
Amaris says
My favorite beauty products are Maybelline mascaras 🙂
Heather says
Most embarrassing xmas party moment:
I drank eggnog for the first time today and it was a bit strong. I said aloud, “Is there alcohol in eggnog?” and some old guys I didn’t know snorted and said “yes, there is” in a rather sardonic manner. They made me feel like such a newbie!

I love Revlon lip butters!

After finally completing my grad school app yesterday, I treated myself to two things: ordered the UD Naked Basics from their site, and went for a pedi. After the pedi when I was at the drying station, they had the OPI Germany collection sitting there and I tested Berlin There, Done That – and loved it. I went to evilbay and ordered straight away.

I’ve been adding to my Stanford-themed manicure every week for a few weeks now – it’s my superstition for the end of the college football season. I started with a cardinal red base for week one (China Glaze Adventure Red-y), added two glitter accent stripes on my left hand the second week (China Glaze Glistening Snow), then put a rose-shaped decal for the Pac-12 Championship game (since the winner goes to the Rose Bowl). It seems to have worked, yay! Now I just have to think of something creative to do for the actual Rose Bowl game…
Jennifer L says
I painted my nails a festive red, and then I took a soak in my friend’s hot tub the next day. When I emerged the polish was half gone. So, don’t do that.
Mireya says
Trying out two different primers – Hourglass mineral primer and Korres antiaging primer. I like them both but the Hourglass seems to stay flawless looking a lot longer.

Kalli says
I love Sephora!
Rebecca says
Regrettably, when you become The Mom, Christmas is stressful and a lot of work, not just fun and magical. Nobody spends any time wracking their brains figuring out exactly what I want and while I love drawings and clay paperweights, I really want cashmere socks and a new wallet.
K. says
Looking forward to lots of glitter this holiday season- Christmas always makes me want to sparkle until the new year!

Best drugstore product is l’oreal million lashes. It’s amazing. Definitely in the top 3 best mascaras I’ve ever used.
Diane says
I’m not quite over Thanksgiving either, so I’m wearing a cranberry color on my nails. Later this week though, I plan to do green sparkles (OPI’s Fresh Frog of Bel-air from last year’s Muppets collection). I like doing green instead of red since it’s a less common choice.

Okay, call me super late to the party, but I finally caved and bought the UD Naked 1 palette for myself w/ my BI discount @ Sephora.
