The Birthday Edition. 🙂
Yes, at least two Marin County beauty bloggers (that we know of) are celebrating birthdays this weekend. One likes ’80s pop culture, surfing in Hawaii and young adult books (and MAC cosmetics, Nutella and big hair). The other enjoys long walks, bird feeders, high fashion and gravy.
Can you guess which one is which?
Ha! Yup, it’s birthday time around here. Since Tabs was a stray, we always celebrate his birthday with mine, but actually, we tried to figure out his real birthday once after a trip to the vet, and it’s probably right around this same time of year anyway. This year he turns seven.
And like all good birthdays, this one comes with gifts! — as in the potential to take home a $50 Sephora eCard.
It only takes a quick comment and/or tweet from you to enter. Full deets down below.
Good luck! Happy birthday, everyone!
What folks are saying…
“Hi Karen!!! Wow, that news definitely gets a hoo ray ray and an elephant!!! (I’ve maybe been watching too much Boardwalk Empire.) Thank you so much!!!”
-Shana“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)

Happy Birthday Karen and Tabs!
Birthday cake … hmm. I think my favorite comes in at angel cake and strawberries. I like my desserts simple and to the point 🙂 But now you’ve got me thinking about an excursion to the local cupcakery this afternoon…
buckycatt says
Karen & Tabs –
My question – can someone who won before, but made a bad choice win again? I ordered a red lipstick from Hourglass that was recommended somewhere, but it was way too orange for my fair coloring. Also is Tabs a climber? I have a 1 year that thinks she is an acrobat. Happy weekend you 2 (& El Hub while we’re at it).

Fingers crossed! Okay, for my birthday cake I LOVE chocolate. I haven’t been to a birthday party in eons. This week was okay. I’m taking my kiddos to the pool today weather permitting.

Happy Birthday Karen and Tabs! It’s gonna be a hot one. Over here in San Ramon it’s already about 90 degrees at 10:30! Lately, I’ve been wearing Sonia Kashuk Sheer Plum (in the square tube) and loving it. Inspired by you in her plum gloss, I bought that but didn’t like the brush, so thought I’d try this and LOVE IT! Favorite cake is either chocolate with vanilla frosting OR my special fantastic Pistachio Cake (loved by all!). Hope you have your cake and get to eat it, too!!!! And extra gravy for the birthday cat,

Rebecca says
My favorite cake is Italian Cream Cake, but for birthdays I want a nice buttery yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
I’ve been wearing and loving the Sephora 8-hour mattifying SPF 20 moisturizer. It’s pretty inexpensive and is moisturizing but not heavy or greasy, and it does help control oil.
Megan says
Happy birthday! I’ve been driving around my car(Bertha) with no air conditioning and it’s been really hot this week! We’re talking getting places and looking like I’ve been out jogging/sitting in a sauna. My makeup has been suffering greatly, haha.

Justine says
Happy birthday!
Jenn says
Happy birthday! I love strawberry cake with cream cheese icing.

We get together once a month for dinner (super hard for her to carve out time!!) and even though her BDday had passed by a few days, I wanted to do something unexpected. And we both lurrrve sushi!
Erin says
I love chocolate cake and don’t need any frosting!

I don’t like cake, so I always get a birthday pie! I used to always go for Razzleberry from Marie Callendar’s, but now that I found out I can’t have gluten, a friend bakes me apple-cranberry gluten-free birthday pies. So delicious!
I like to throw themed birthday parties for my birthday – last year was a 1990s theme. Some of my friends made a pretend boy band and even printed up some artwork for their fake album! It was a great time, lots of brown lipstick and glitter.
Pam G. says

Ceci says
Happy birthday, Karen and Tabs 🙂
jasmine says
I used to love ice cream cake for my birthday but everyone in my family would get one when it was their bday. I was at a friend’s birthday party a couple of years ago and we had tuxedo cake from a store called save on foods. I loved it so much that it has been my bday cake ever since and I’ve converted some of my friends too. Recently I have made the discovery that Costco sells slabs of tuxedo cake, I sound like such a fat child right now but you have to try this cake it’s uhhh-mazing.
Julie says
Happy Birthday! Cocktails anyone?
Cathy R says
Happy birthday, Karen and Tabs! Can’t go wrong with red velvet cake, and I’ve been obsessed with MAC Crosswires lately. Have a great weekend!

My fab taste of birthday cake is lemon, and more if it has a lemon frost on it. ( but this is like asking for a miracle, few people make lemon with lemon meringue birthday cake, my second option would be pistachio and strawberries

MJ says
Happy Birthday Karen and Tabs! 😀 Hope this weekend turns out great for the both of you (perhaps extra gravy and makeup is in order). 🙂
When I used to hold actual birthday parties for myself, I liked baking cakes (one year was green tea, and another was ube) and then frosting them. I usually left the cakes blank though and invited my guests to write on them. 🙂
These days I usually go out on a date with my boyfriend since my birthday is also our anniversary. 🙂
Keira says
Happy Birthday! Hope it’s spectacular!
If we’re talking cakes here, I have to say that my favorite cake ever is this wonderful concoction served by Mercy Wine Bar in Dallas. It’s a layered white cake with lemon cream frosting and raspberry puree between the layers and on the top. It’s to die for.
Alex M says

Melitina says
I bought a Kiko lipstick (number 397 – I am roughly the same skin tone as you) and it is a nude colour but a little bit on the light side. The surprising side effect is that, because the colour is a tad too ligh, I look all nice and bronzed!! Loooove it!

Alida Giordano says
Hello K & T! I hope you are having a lovely sunday.
Yesterday I went to visit a neighbor and give her lovely kittens a mani-pedi.
A WHAT? May be you’re asking. Yes, a mani-pedi that consists in putting a kitten in your lap with all 4 paws looking up, then you take a paw, press the nails to make it appear, and then cut only the tip of the nail with a nail cutter. Then just soft any edges with a file and your kitten is ready to go. This paw spa should take no more than five minutes, and by doing so you are ensuring the health of your living room couches and curtains. Please Mr. Tabs don’t hate me!
Emily A says
The lemoncello torte at Cheesecake Factory is were it’s at for bday cake!

Colleen says
Too late for the contest but…Happy birthday!!!!!
Cakes: “light”–best light cakes are made in Chinatown bakeries, you get two layers of angel food cake with whipped cream and fruit filling, frosted with more whipped cream. Super light and just a little sweet.
“Heavy”–chocolate decadence cake from Andronico’s. As much chocolate as cake. *drools*
In-between: fruit tarts (which is what I’d go for at this moment).
Amber says
Happy Birthday Karen and Tabs, we love ya! xoxo
