Makeup and Beauty Blog’s Sunscreen 101 – What you need to know before you buy sunscreen

June 25th, 2007 by Karen 3 Comments

beach-essentials
Here’s my mental run through before I head to the beach: Flip-flops? Check. Cute bikini? Check. Cowboy hat? Check. Sunscreen? CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!

While many people associate sunscreen as something that you only use during the summer months, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 every day of the year. I am proud to say that I’m a year-round sunscreen girl, a sunscreen connoisseur of sorts! [Continue reading…]

Just for fun – Rihanna’s “Umbrella” Video

June 18th, 2007 by Karen Leave a Comment


I’ve been listening to this song all weekend. I love the beat and lyrics, which reminds me of my close friends who’ve always been there.

I love Rihanna’s makeup in this video, especially the grey eyes/pink lips combo in the close ups. SO PRETTY!

I’ve been tagged …

June 12th, 2007 by Karen 14 Comments

Fellow Beauty Network blogger the lovely Kia from yummy411 tagged me yesterday!

Here are the rules:

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog.

I kinda changed the rules a bit and did two separate lists, one beauty related and one not. What can I say? I like lists.[Continue reading…]

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale for Women & Children Starts Tomorrow, June 6

June 5th, 2007 by Karen 2 Comments

nordstom-half-annual-shoe-sale

Set your alarm clocks, ya’ll! Tomorrow is the Half Yearly Sale for Women & Children at Nordstrom in Corte Madera. This is a great time to get shoes on sale. Last year I was lucky enough to buy the last pair of wedge heel black suede Via Spiga shoes on sale. YES.

The sale starts at 7:00 a.m. (wowza!).

I like to wear flip flops so I can easily try shoes I pull from the sale rack. And remember: women (plus) shoe sale (equals) mayhem so don’t be ashamed about elbowing the b*tches who try to get up in your grill. You better snatch those sandals before the next woman does, girl!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
