Hi, cuties! My migraine’s mostly gone. Last night was rough, but I feel so much better now. Maybe it was the headache, but I had a string of messed-up makeup dreams last night.
This morning, I couldn’t think of a better way to share my dreams with you than with a good ole’ fashioned YOU MUST CHOOSE!
Messed-up Makeup Dream #1
It’s your wedding day. You’re forced to either attend the ceremony and reception wearing 1) pirate-themed booty shorts or 2) absolutely no makeup whatsoever. YOU MUST CHOOSE!
Messed-up Makeup Dream #2
The makeup gods threaten to vanquish your entire makeup collection (brushes too!) unless you make out for three hours with 1) Bret Michaels or 2) Flava Flav. And, yup, you have to use tongue. YOU MUST CHOOSE!
Messed-up Makeup Dream #3
Your celebrity boyfriend, (insert name *here*), announces that he’s taking you on a romantic weekend getaway to the south of France, but weight restrictions on his private jet limit the amount of makeup you can bring with you to seven items (including brushes)! Which seven items will you bring? YOU MUST CHOOSE!
Aren’t you glad it’s Friday? I sure am. I’m off to the mall this morning to get my mum a little Mother’s Day present. I’m thinking yoga pants because she likes doing yoga over at the senior center (aww!).
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
TUPRNUT says
Messed-Up Makeup Dream #1:
Um, no makeup
Messed-Up Makeup Dream #2:
I’d rather cut off my tongue
Messed-Up Makeup Dream #3:
Since Matt Damon insists on a romantic getaway together and the plane can only allow for 7 items, I will have to choose:
1. My Estee Lauder Foundation
2. Bobbi Brown Concelear
3. Painterly Paint Pot
4. Clinique Mascara
5. Sphora Angled Blush Brus
6. Nars Orgasm Blush
7. MAC Hey, Sailor Lustreglass
Tammy says
Dream 1…no make up..I’ll just have them take some really far away pictures..and get some nice pictures professionally done after…there are no hiding the booty shorts!!
Dream 2. Brett..he may be dirty but Flav..ugh..I just don’t have any words for that man..nasty!!
Dream 3. My seven things would be 1. Carmex, 2. L’oreal Telescopic Mascara, 3. Sally Hansen Brozer-Havana Glow Medium, 4. M.A.C.-Lipglass Viva Glam VI SE, 5. Kiss My Face-tinted moisturizer-in natural 6. Milani Eye Shadow Quads-Earthy Delights 7. Bobbi Brown Concealer – in honey The first two were so easy compared to this..I rewrote this a few times and it’s still not right..lol

Megan says
OOH Karen. Friday fun day… good post… ok
YMC1 – no makeup whatsoever. I could rock it.
YMC2 – Bret M. For real. I mean at least he’s not horribly unattractive. Flav looks like a crackhead.
YMC3 – This one is difficult. I’m going with:
Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer w/ SPF 15 Shade 1
Lancome 4 Romance quad
A double ended eyeshadow brush that I got from CVS – http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=405873&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?ActiveCat=499^Query=essence+of+beauty+brush
My flat eyeliner brush
NARS Sin/Casino Duo
Estee Lauder Shimmering Powder Pearls
Blusher Brush – I will wipe on tissue and reuse with highlight powder and casino bronzer
I know it’s kinda cheating to bring a quad and a duo…but hey… it’s only 7 individual items from my makeup case 🙂
Megan says
OOH nevermind the Estee Lauder Powder Pearls. I forgot Mascara 🙁 How did I do that…okay ummm let’s take the Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara in black instead.
Grace says

2. Bret Michaels
3. heres my list–
1. rimmel natural bronzer
2. MAC Shy Beauty BPB
3. Estee Lauder mascara
4. Totally it lipglass
5. Smashbox e/s quad (neutrals)
6. Too Faced kabuki
7. Target smudge brush for eyes
Jeanne says
1. No make-up! (But those booty shorts are awfully cute!)
2. Blergh! I would also have to go with Bret Michaels. (Can’t I pick Tila Tequila?)
3. What I’d bring to France:
– Benefit “You Rebel Lite” tinted moisturizer with SPF
– Fresh SuperNova mascara
– Tarte cheekstain in “Flush”
– Benefit eyeliner pencil in “Sable”

2) ew. that’s all. ewwwwww. but I guess Bret. blech.
3) ok-
1. becca TM
2. concealor
3. eyelash curler
4. black mascara
5. nars orgasm blush
6. mac 129 brush
7. chanel candy glow lipgloss!
and, aw, yoga pants for you mom, that sounds so cute.
Bridget says
hahah This is hilarious.
1. I’d choose the pirate booty shorts and just have the photographer take waist up shots.haha
2. Definitely Bret Michaels. Flavor Flav gives me the willies!
3. My boyfriend: Daniel Craig. He’s ranked #1 on my Imaginary Boyfriends List.
I’d bring…
-Black eyeliner.
-Bad Gal Lash
-Laura Gellar bronze and brighten (this one can be used many ways, yessss.)
-Tinted Moisturizer
-My big BE puffy brush.
-Eyeshadow brush.
-BE Amber buxom lip gloss.
Boy that was harder then I thought!!haha It’s like makeup death match.
Enjoy the mall! I wish I could get out… but we are in a flood watch and my little car is not so good in overflowing streams.haha
Erin says
1. I am so in for the Pirate booty shorts. I love pirates, and who doesn’t love booty?
2. I think i’d have to pick Bret Michaels by default, Flav is just too weird.
3. OK I can do this….
1. Diorshow mascara
2. Black eyeliner
3. Stila Illuminating tinted moisturizer
4. Stila Convertible color in Lillium
5. Aquaphor!
6. Covergirl clean pressed powder
7. Urban Decay shadow in Stray Dog
Dao says
#1: No makeup!
#2: Ewww, that’s a nightmare, not a dream. I would wake up immediately in cold sweat!
#3: I don’t know who my celebrity crush is anymore. Those I used to fancy are now (a) old, (b) already married, and/or (c) have kids. Although Brad Pitt is still quite sizzle though, with 4 kids and 2 on the way.
The seven makeup items included in the escapade are:
-Silk Naturals mineral foundation
-Everyday Minerals concealer in Sunlight for those undereye circles
-EM silk dust
-Trusted Sonia flat top brush to apply all of the above
-Trusted Victoria’s Secret traveling palette with all the eyeshadows and highlighters I need 😉 This awesome palette also has a double-ended brush!
-L’Oreal Voluminous mascara
-A pink lipstick that can double as a cheek stain/eyeshadow
Then I would whine and whine on why he didn’t take out some of his clothes so that I could bring some couple more brushes (hello MAC 219, 239, 266, 217!) After all, it were a vacation and he needn’t wear too much clothes, right?
Alexa says
1. no makeup
2. EWW NASTY!!
3. this one is hard…
– Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Foundation
– MAC bronze eyeshadow
– NARS lipgloss in risky business
– dior diorshow mascara
– guerlain eyeshadow quad in the smokey greens
– MAC eyeliner kohl in phone number
– urban decay deluxe eyeshadow in underground
Mariah says
#1. Ok, I’m going to go with the pirate shorts. Because A) Pirates are awesome, B) Can’t I still wear a dress OVER it? And C) My love and I could be married by the swarthy captain of a ship! (Ala POTC: At World’s End! Minus the death part, of course!)
#2. BRETT. Seriously. I’m not losing my makeup, and I am not TOUCHING Flav. But I better get some extra makeup outta the deal, and I don’t mean the rub off of his super eyeliner!
#3. 1- Bare Escentuals Foundation in Fairly Light
2- Bare Escentuals Foundation Brush
3- Bare Escentuals Full Coverage concealer brush
4- Mac Paint Pot in Painterly
5- Stila shadow quad from the Landing Gear set
6- Mac Plushlash in PlushBlack
7- Mac Beauty Powder Blush in Eversun
OMG, look at me with all those neutrals!?!!? (The Stila kit is all browns, a light cream, a chai light brown, a warm coffee-with-creamer brown, and a dark rich coffee brown.) The kit is just so damned versatile, and Eversun is both a bronzer and a blush for me. *sigh* What can I do? 😀

Karen says
Ya’ll make me laugh!!! I love it!
And isn’t it funny how it’s REALLY hard to choose those seven products? In my dream I was a hot mess trying to figure out what I was going to bring.
Anyway here’s mine:
Dream No 1:
No makeup. Then I’d ask the photog to use a soft-focus lens for all my close ups!
Dream No 2:
BLECH to both, but at least with Bret Michaels I could take off that bandana to see what’s underneath.
Dream No 2:
OMG C. BALE I HEART YOU! Now that’s out of the way I can proceed.
1. MAC Concrete Eyeshadow for les eyebrows
2. MAC 266 brush
3. Shu Uemura Curler
4. Shu Uemura Precise Volume Waterproof mascara
5. Concealer – prolly MAC Select Moisturecover in NW 25, cause I’ll prolly get a tan during vacay
6. Chanel Glossimer in Gazelle
7. Laura Mercier loose powder
Karen says
Hi Tuprnut,
Which Estee Lauder foundation do you have?
Karen says
Hi Tammy,
LOL, yeah, there is indeed NO HIDING in the booty shorts! Can you imagine everybody staring at your bum while standing at the alter?
I’m on a bronzer kick – what do you like about that Sally Hansen bronzer? I’m thinking I might need to get it.
Karen says
Hi Megan,
OMG! I want that double ended brush!!!
You are *so tricky* with your quad, young lady!
Karen says
Hi Grace,
Yay! I love Shy Beauty, too. Which Estee mascara do you use?
Karen says
Hi Jeanne,
LOL, no you can’t pick Tila! (I so got sucked into an episode of that the other night…)
Karen says
Hi Amanda,
Work those shorts, girl! I think a pirate wedding would be kinda fun. I would show up wearing MAC Parrot on my eyes and I’d also sport a real live parrot on my shoulder!
And a big YAY to the Candy Glow!
Karen says
Hi Bridget,
A flood watch seems quite scary (scarier than the thought of swapping spit with Flav, even). I hope things are okay…
Karen says
Hi Erin,
And big yay for a girl who is down for pirates and booty! 😉 Oh – and I love Aquaphor, too!
Karen says
Hi Dao,
Gotta have the multi-tasking flat top! 😉
Karen says
Hi Alexa,
LOL, what, no love for either Flav or Bret?
That Guerlain quad sounds pretty!

I’d bring:

-Victoria’s Secret lip gloss in Cherry Bomb
-L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara
LaurenIvy says
oh, yeah, hopefully we go someplace warm…that’s definitely the summer version!
Holly says
1. pirate pants for certain! I would do such a good job of hair and makeup that you wouldn’t even notice what im wearing!
2. Flav – at least it looks like he bathes!!
3. This is the hardest ive currently got a really weird crush on Russel Brand (not sure if he is known in the states) soo not my type to look at but he has something about him!
And 7 pieces of makeup is impossible for a holiday!! I would take my 7 essentials and then arrange for the rest to be secretly shipped over to me!! But my 7 most important are:
1. Chanel teint innocence compact foundation
2. MAC blotting powder
3. Chanel Bronze Universelle
4. Chanel petit pinceau
5. NARs blush in Orgasm
6. Yves saint laurent faux cils mascara
7. Mac viva glam lipgloss (the ltd edition charity one)
but that is just not enough, i still have nothing for my brows or lids and will have to apply blush with my fingers!!
Deserey says
1) Booty Shorts BABY!! I’m known for my cute tush so why not?! Would it be cheating to have it under my wedding gown…….either way I’m goooood ; )~
2)Oh god! This is so gross. Brett, even though he wears more make up than me & probably tastes like mayo! I don’t even want 2 imagine what Flav tastes like! Ewww!!!
3)Now this is a cruel dream baby! But here it goes…
1)Face Atelier Foundation (makes me flawless)
2)Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer( highly pigmented concealer, looks like healthy skin, luv it)
3)Nars Loose Powder ( So gorgeous & natural)
4)Dior Show mascara in black
5)Nars artist palette #9941 ( includes 4 eyeshadows like night clubbing which double’s as a eyeliner, 4 lipsticks like Dolce Vida, 2 Multiples like Malibu. Yes, I’m sneaky but the case is thin & easy
6) La Femme blush in Dusty Rose (Can you say GORGEOUS GLOW, perfect for any look, my fav)
7)Retractable blush/powder brush, I’m a svengali at using my fingers 4 everything else ; )~
Glosslizard says
Ha ha! Glad you’re back on your feet, girl!
1) I do. Arrrr! Totally the pirate shorts with a veil and makeup to match (although I think I would take advantage of the broad belt option)! 😉
2) Um, by “vanquish” do you mean it all goes and then I can replace it? But I think I would go without makeup for the rest of my life before making out with Flav! Eeeeeeew!
3) Hmmm, only seven? I can do this! Does sunscreen and skincare count as makeup? Hmmmm.
1. Shiseido SPF 55 (just in case)
2. Chanel Teint Innocence foundation (Gentle Ivory)
3. Guerlain bronzer (Orient Sun)
4. Chanel eyeshadow quad (Winter Nights)
5. Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara (black)
6. Chanel Rouge Hydrabase lipstick (Shanghai Red*)
* This shade is AMAZING! It can layer on lightly for a fuchsia stain or heavily for a deep siren red!
7. MAC Fafi lipglass (Sugar Trance)
And if I get the sunscreen for free, I’ll add my eyelash comb! 😀
Tanya says
AHAHA. I love these 😀
#1) I’m going to have to go with a nakie face. Photoshop is a wonderful thing 😉
#2) Brett Michaels. I don’t think I would like the FLAVA of gold teeth.
#3) I think the bigger question would be WHAT celeb boyfriend would be taking me on this trip 😉
-MUFE Full Cover
-MAC Smoking Eyes quad (because it’s the best. quad. ever.)
-MAC 266 (double duty for brows and liner)
-Maybelline Full ‘n’ Soft mascara
-Some sort of lip balm. I assume lots of smooches will be happening.
-Jordana Tawny Beige blush
-Mints? Mints? Do they count? To go along with the smooching? ;D
Tanyas last blog post..Party @ Benefit!!!
Tania says
1)booty shorts- the freak out factor is totally worth it plus my mom would totally get into the whole pirate thing. Lot’s of skulls and “until death do us part” stuff! Rockin!
2)Bret. Sorry but Flav is annoying and too skinny.
3)In the case that Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) or Rob Bourdon (Linkin Park drummer) does fly me away somewhere I would take
-Fafi eye quad 1
-mineralize skinfinish natural powder
-MAC 216 brush (it’s that real skinny eye brush)
-Bourjois Coupe de theatre mascara
-Smith’s Strawberry Lip salve
-MAC Craving lipstick (doubles as blush)
-MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack

i♥makeup says
Messed up make-up dream #1
I would do no make-up, because whatever I would wear would make-up for my face.
Messed up make-up dream #2
I would make-our with Bret, God Flava Flav disgusts me, ugh. Bret Michaels ain’t any better but damn, he’s better than Flav. Ugh, I just cringed, and felt instantly nauseated. But, anything for make-up then again.. ugh

Karen B says

2: Can I just say disgusting? Apart from the fact that they make me gag I would go for Brett as I am curious about the bandana thing as well.

Tammy says
I love that the color is buildable and last all day..it’s a little light when u first apply, but all you have to do is add more for a bolder tan..most bronzers I’ve tried are too dark or too glittery..this one isn’t..

1. No Makeup
2. I guess Bret…rather not either.
3. Oh, darn. Umm….
bronzer (any bronzer)
My holy grail AoDie mascara
