A pet assistant’s job is never done…
You might think that Tabs, being the forward-thinking feline employer that he is, would have been so kind as to give me the day off today, it being a national (and worldwide) holiday and all, but nooooo. There are tums to be rubbed, food bowls to be refreshed, cat grass to be watered (he now insists that I feed him one blade of grass at a time, BY HAND, like they’re grapes, and he’s a Roman emperor), corporate takeovers to plot, etc., etc.
For the most part, I don’t mind the extra workload, especially when it involves makeup, like it does today with this giveaway for two prize packages from Sophisti-Cat Cosmetics, an up-and-coming indie makeup line of cruelty-free, pigmented products made in the USA.
To learn more about the brand, check out According to Sophisti-Cat Cosmetics, Meow Is a Purrfect Time for Cat-Inspired Makeup.
As a card-carrying Sophisti-Cat himself, Tabs was so stoked about about it that he volunteered to model the prize products… 🙂
I hope you’ll enter, because you never know when you’re luck will hit. 🙂 Win today’s giveaway (three separate winners will be chosen), and you’ll be quite the Sophisti-Cat yourself.
One (1) lucky lady or gent will win the following Sophisti-Cat Cosmetics prize package valued at more than $100:
- One (1) leopard makeup bag
- One (1) Pearl Lipstick in Mauve Mocha
- One (1) Silky Eyeshadow in Deception
- One (1) Silky Eyeshadow in Rockstar
- One (1) Powder Blush in Chaos
- One (1) Eye/Lip Primer
- One (1) Gel Eyeliner in Black Out
- One (1) Mini Size Cake Eye Sealant
Two (2) additional winners will each receive the following Sophisti-Cat Cosmetics prize package valued at $22:
- One (1) Pearl Lipstick in Blue Roses
- One (1) Eyelight in Moon Gold
- There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, what’s one of the cutest things your pet does? How did you spend New Year’s Eve? If your pet were played by a Hollywood celebrity in a big blockbuster movie, which celebrity would it be? Are you a diva (or do you ever have diva moments)? Quick! — when you’re late for school or work and only have one or two minutes to get ready, what do you do with your hair? Most used makeup or beauty product in your purse right now? Do you store any beauty products in your car (maybe an emergency backup of something)? What’s your favorite lip or eye liner these days? — you get the idea.
- Second, you can enter by liking Sophisti-cat Cosmetics on Facebook.
- The deadline to enter is Friday, January 4, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. (PST).
- Entrants must enter using a valid email address and/or Facebook account to win.
- A maximum of two (2) entries per person — one within the comments at the bottom of this post, and a second entry by liking Sophsti-Cat Cosmetics on Facebook.
- Contest is open to residents of the United States who have reached the age of majority according to their local laws (18 in the United States with these exceptions: Alabama and Nebraska, 19; Mississippi, 21).
- Tabs and I (heretofore referred to as “T-Money and K-Dawg”) will select three (3) winners at random from the entries either left in the comments at the bottom of this blog post or from among people liking Sophisti-Cat Cosmetics on Facebook (NOTE: the company has restricted entries to residents of the United States only).
- The winner will be announced here within 48 hours of the deadline.
- Void where prohibited by law.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

when I am in a hurry and need to look put together I usually comb through my hair with my fingers or a comb with some Garnier Fructise Smoothing Milk, and twist back the front pieces on either side of my part and pin them in the back with some small bobby pins or a flower clip(the ones from H&M are great)

Megan says
Spent the New Year with my gatos.
Summer says
I’m DYING over the silky eyeshadows and that lipstick OMG! I would love to win! This is the cutest packaging ever btw.
My cat Gia talks to bugs and birds with these adorable little sounds; she think she can actually talk for real. When they come closer she meows really loudly and will leap for them and she can actually twist in the air! We have it filmed, and we want to put it on YouTube. We’re not emotionally invested in our cat AT ALL, as you can see! ;D

Happy New Year, Karen and all! Can’t type much ’cause I have a compound fracture in my right shoulder and a broken arm from a really bad fall a few days before Christmas. Needless to say, I didn’t do much celebrating for NYE; just sat around the house and had a few drinks and nom-noms with family and a few friends. I just HAD to enter this giveaway, tho!

I popped champagne bottles and swam in my indoor pool at my apartment, relaxed in the sauna and had a dance party in the club room. it was the best new years ever!!
If I’m late for work I throw my hair in a pony and dab on concealer and load on some blush to look awake. Then I usually put mascara on in the car. lol. I don’t keep anything in my car because the MN winters get sooo cold it ruins beauty products (frozen mascara anyone?). I do keep mascara, powder, concealer and lipstick in my purse which is just as good.
