Just a quick dispatch from somewhere over California, ladies! This morning I’m off to Toronto on a top secret beauty mission. I can’t really share any details yet (even though I desperately want to!), but I can say this much: COOL!
It’s just a brief trip, and I’ll be back in the Bay soon. Of course, I still plan to blog while I’m away because, well, that’s what I do. 🙂
Stay tuned… Adventure awaits!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Glosslizard says
Looking forward to the mission report! Carry on, Agent K! 😀
Karen says
You are too cute! How have you been? Was your MAC class fun?
Glosslizard says
I’ve been good (if not overly communicative…)! The MAC class was fun, it was a confidence-booster for me, and I scored some good loot!
stalkthepostman says
YAY Canada!! Can’t wait to hear what you’re up to 🙂
Karen says
You’ll find out soon! BTW, I’m learning all sorts of cool things about your country, like, ketchup chips and poutine.
Astha says
Enjoy my city Karen! And while you are here, you must have some Tim Horton’s and spurlge on a poutine
Karen says
I keep hearing about poutine… it sounds like Tabs’ gravy dream come true.
Andrea says
Bring an umbrella – its raining here (here being Toronto).
Karen says
Thanks for the heads up, Andrea! 🙂
Christy says
Jealous! Have a great time & I can’t wait to hear your report when you return 🙂 Wish I could go with you! We’d have a great time, yo! 😛
Karen says
I think we would! We could explore the city and check out makeup. 😀
Amber says
I hope you’re stopping at the Bata Shoe Museum! Bon voyage!
Karen says
Oh, I wish I had time to go! It sounds like the pinnacle of shoe ecstasy.
Vijaya says
Top secret beauty mission? Sounds official. Can’t wait to find out what it is. =D
Karen says
You will soon enough! 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely day.
Kajal Couture says
Perchance are you stopping by Toronto Fashion Week? In any case I can’t wait to hear all about your adventure!
Karen says
Nope! Good guess though. 🙂
Radhika says
Toronto? Now what secret beauty mission are you involved in there?? 😀 😀
Karen says
You’ll find out soon, Radhika! Hope you’re having a nice day.
Christina says
I hope I will run into you! Go Canada!
Good luck with your secret mission!
Karen says
If you do please say hi! I’m friendly and don’t bite, LOL!
lmc1971 says
Yay! I’m in Toronto…too bad your on a top secret mission, I’m sure you have a ton of followers in T.Dot who would have loved to meet up! Perhaps next time….
Toronto is a great city, hope you’re staying for a few days and get a chance to see the sights. Check out Bloor Yorkville shopping and Queens St. is also fun. A few worthy malls are Yorkdale or the Eaton Centre…both accessible by transit or short car ride from downtown. Don’t let anyone drag you to Vaughn Mills Outlet Mall though, not worth the trip IMHO.
Best, Lisa
Karen says
Thanks for the 411, Lisa! Unfortch this time it’s a quick trip… I’ll be leaving on Friday morning. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back soon, because I need to hit all the good shopping spots and find the best poutine in the city.
Josie says
Toronto girl here too! Its raining today but its still a beautiful and amazing city! Can’t wait to hear about your top secret mission here and hope you enjoy your stay! And just like Astha posted, get yourself a coffee at Tim Horton’s (or even try the Ice Capps) and you have to try a poutine which is fries, gravery, and mozzerella cheese! MMMmmmmhhhmmm!
Karen says
You said the magic word… FRIES!
shiny says
we’ll recognize Karen immediately from the fabulousness, doesn’t she know that! 😉 anyhoo, check out Brar’s – Indian food close to Pearson airport – great place to eat.
Karen says
Aww, Shiny! You’ll most likely recognize me from the pound of cat hair on my clothes and the glitter, LOL!
Christine Tansingco says
Hi Karen,
Welcome to Toronto! Hope you enjoy your stay here….curious though about your secret mission. Hope you enjoy our multi-cultural city – the Filipino community is big here…we’re glad to see one of our own making influential strides in the world of makeup and beauty.
Fellow makeup junkie,
Christine
Karen says
Thanks for the warm welcome, Christine! I just landed and can’t wait to see more of your beautiful city. Have a great day!
Kim says
Very mysterious…. 😉
Karen says
I didn’t get the chance to write you back before I left, but THANK YOU BUNCHES for the info. 🙂
lexi says
So cool – can’t wait to here the good news!
I’ve always wanted to go to Toronto.
Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
Why Karen, you big tease! I do know that Toronto Fashion Week is going on, hmm…….
Alka says
Oh no….does this mean Tabs is at home alone!!!! Can we say house party – Meow.
Nina says

Cassy says
Have fun!! In connection, I shipped a couple of packages to Canada today. The woman at the post office tried to upsell me a passport, lol. If I was going to GO there, I wouldn’t need to SHIP there!
gracey says

SM says
Hey Karen
We can’t wait to see you here!! You must check out Aritzia for some funky clothes and check out our Chanel counters here! Our Chanel cosmetics come straight from France so I know you can get the Twilight and Fauve eyeshadows that aren’t in the States at all! Do try to stop by Holt Renfrew if you need any Shu Uemura stuff too!! WELCOME! Shout out to Tabs!

Jessica says
