The second involves signing up for my updates by email, if you haven’t already subscribed. You’ll get one email per day, jam packed with juicy randomness and makeup joie de vivre!

Recap…

  1. If you haven’t already signed up to receive Makeup and Beauty Blog daily email updates, then enter your email in the box below (or click this link).

    I’m really lemming this palette because my friend bought it last weekend and the MUA taught her how to use it (she’s a newbie to make up). I thought the other palette would be better, but this one is more versatile and does really great day to night looks.

    You rock Karen! Thanks for the giveaway =)

Or a Burger King. There’s this Belgian burger chain called Quick here and it’s not bad, except that the employees are the embodiment of the antonym of quick. Crap.

    Well lately I’ve been on a quest for cupcakes and so I’ve being trying to savor my craving. Today I had a strawberry/Vanilla Cupcake and yesterday I had a Green Tea Cupcake. Green Tea hands down was the better of the two. I also had a coconut one but Green tea was tooo good. Nothing overly sweet but just right. The icing was mouthwatering goodness. haha. Cupcakes give me this nostalgic image of elementary and birthdays. Unfortunately, growing up I never had that cupcake aspect in my life because my mother didn’t not know how to bake… she knew had to burn. LOL. Cooking wise she’s top notch. but baking.. I’ll rather trust a bakery shop. haha. There’s my little rant to you! ^__^

    I used to consider myself a dog person. I didn’t really like cats, mainly because of an incident I had with a cat during my childhood. Although after a recent dream (not a nightmare) involving a dog, I’m starting to think I may not like dogs as much. It’s almost to the point that I could actually see myself purchasing a cat (should I choose to have a pet sometime in the future).

    I’m watching the Oscars pre-show right now and I find myself looking more at the faces and makeup choices than the dresses! I guess that’s what happens when you spend all your free time reading beauty blogs and researching products. My favorite so far is the abfab Kate Winslet; girl looks maddd hott tonight– she betta win!

    Thanks Karen!

    Hi Karen,

    Ok so yesterday I bought a new 24″ iMac with my employee discount at work and I am freakin loving it so much I cannot be separated from it (except I gotta go watch the Oscars now)! 🙂 I also got Aperture 2 with it so it’s time to crack the books and get started learning more about my camera and photography!

    You definitely inspired me with all of your latest entries about pink items. I was having such a horrible week of bad luck that I decided to go and treat myself to a pair of bright pink slingback heels (now lined with moleskin – my flat feet are incredibly thankful!) even though I really couldn’t afford them. But wearing them today really made me feel so much better and I was literally dancing around the office… that was until my boss came and caught me in the act! Maybe he could do with some pink in his life.

    I haven’t commented in a while–been uber-busy with school. I love your blog! You are fantabulous. I miss your drugstore product reviews.. all these high-end dept store and MAC stuff is out of my league right now. I don’t mind though, it gives me something to dream about. I also love your videos– you are so positive and funny. Watching your videos always brightens my day! =)

So far I have Big Bow and Fashion Mews lipsticks, Sweet Strawberry and Fast Friends lipglasses and glitter in Reflects Blue. Hubby even was nice enough to get me She Loves Candy and, because the store was out of Nice to Be Nice, Lavender Whip! Right now I am contemplating on going to Macy’s to see if they have Nice to Be Nice in stock and maybe pick up a glitter liner or two or three…but only after my breakfast of Moo Goo Gai Pan lmao…have a fantastic day Karen!!!!

    I had the craziest day yesterday. This guy that I was interested in turned me down a few weeks ago, but yesterday we hung out (we’ve been friends for a while) and he told me he wanted to give dating a shot.

    How weird is that? I need more makeup now that I’m going to be going on dates!

Hugh Jackman did a fantastic job. All the ladies looked beautiful and the men handsome. Anne Hathaway has such a beautiful singing voice. Who knew! I enjoyed seeing all the past winners as they spoke to last nights nominees. Sophia Loren looked beautiful as always. But why does she keep insisting she hasn’t had anything “done”?

    Although I am really happy that Slumdog Millionaire won every category they were nominated for at the Oscars. I personally think the movie was overrated. Having lived in Mumbai for a few years (currently living the Bay Area..woot!) the movie did potray the eclectic city of Mumbai in a bad light. There is so much to the city than poverty, slums, dirty streets, beggars. There’s this magical entity that is associated with Mumbai. The culture shines through, and I hope people can see that someday than just the slums. Maybe I need to make a movie soon?

    I’m already a subscriber! I am also obsessed with all things Hello Kitty, as well as makeup, so I so badly am in love with this collab! However, I’m a poor college student and I haven’t been able to put aside enough money for anything in this collection. I’d love to win!

    Already a subscriber — want to win because this palette is awesome, of course, but also want to win in part because I want to know if the makeup from this line actually smells like the Sanrio Hello Kitty erasers do. 🙂

    Hello Kitty is the cutest thing ever! haha you get this mad urge to collect when you see it!

    Mad crush of the month: Uber cutie in my organic chemistry lab who’s a neurobiology premed student with muscle AND sensitivity. Yes. It’s the entire package.

    Such pretty colors in this Hello Kitty palette! Here’s my random thought – what if cat really wore make-up? Would they want to show off their pretty green (blue, hazel, etc.) eyes or would they want to highlight their beautiful stripes? Just a thought.

    I purchased some MAC products on last Friday to include the “She Loves Candy” lip glosscolor, I love using it for a faux Viva Glam look. Now the hard part, keeping it hidden from my 5 yr old – YIKES!!!
