I always stop for vibrant pinks and reds. 🙂
I’m at the mall right now. Just finished a late lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and wanted the first day of the year to be filled with fun things, as in malls and makeup.
My mom gave me a Nordstrom gift certificate for Christmas. Not sure what I’m gonna do with it yet, but I’m having fun looking for ideas.
Like maybe Bobbi Brown’s new Pink & Red Collection.
It’s barely even January, and this collection’s already channeling Valentine’s Day!
I guess you can never be too early (hint, hint, El Hub)…
Bobbi’s got some pieces here for cheeks, lips and nails, divided into pink products and red products.
Makes it easy for significant others to give gifts. Just send your partner to the counter with instructions like, “You can get me all the pink (or red) stuff.”
Here — hold my purse while I snap some pics with my phone.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

January 1st, 2013 at 7:52 pmGURL, I wish you could send me some of those sweet potato rolls via the interwebz! They sound delicious. 🙂
You’ll be happy to know I spent last night counting down with the The Walking Dead marathon.

January 1st, 2013 at 4:22 pmOoo I like the pink polish! Can you tell us where your jacket is from?
Karen says

It’s by Zella. I’ll try to post a pic of the jacket tomorrow. 🙂

There’s lots of great reds out there! Are you looking for a lipstick or a gloss?
sillylilacs says
January 4th, 2013 at 7:22 amYes, there certainly are! 🙂 I’m looking for a lipstick! I have a few reds that I like, but not my magical holy grail red yet 😀

Tiffanie says
January 1st, 2013 at 6:24 pmI went to Nordstrom yesterday to similarly spend a Christmas gift card and I saw some of the Kevyn Aucoin line for the first time. We haven’t had any of his line here before; I was so excited…probably a little too excited. 🙂
Karen says
January 1st, 2013 at 7:53 pmHi Tiffanie,
The Sephora in my town used to carry his line. I never picked anything up, but I remember the concealers being really exceptional!
Did you end up getting anything from Nordie’s?
Tiffanie says
January 1st, 2013 at 8:39 pmI actually got a concealer! It’s amazing. I wore it all day with solid coverage and no creasing. I also got an eyeshadow from the line as well. It’s matte and just a shade darker than my skin.
Karen says
January 2nd, 2013 at 7:38 amOh cool! That’s the one in the pot, right?
Tiffanie says
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:51 amYep. I think it will last me the next 8 years or so!
Heidi says
January 1st, 2013 at 6:31 pmOh, I’m so happy to see the Sheer Color Cheek Tints! Love those!
Karen says
January 1st, 2013 at 7:54 pmHi Heidi,
Me too. I think my inner lazy girl let out a WHEEE when I saw ’em, haha.
Happy New Year, btw. 🙂
brooke says
January 1st, 2013 at 6:40 pmoooh, new perfume! i love new smellies!
Karen says
January 1st, 2013 at 7:55 pmMe too! Have you ever smelled Bobbi’s Beach? Not really a winter scent, but it’s my FAVORITE!
brooke says
January 2nd, 2013 at 2:17 pmYes! I’m a proud owner – I feel odd wearing it in winter, but it makes me feel better when there’s snow on the ground! 🙂
virginie says
January 1st, 2013 at 8:11 pmKAren, why don’t you do swatches??? I always expect to see some swatches at the end, …and no, nothing..;-(
Karen says
January 2nd, 2013 at 7:38 amHi Virginie,
I try to do swatches when I can.
Sarah says

Monica P says
January 2nd, 2013 at 10:30 amAwesome! I didn’t even know this was out! I’ve been avoiding the malls – I can only deal with so many people wandering around aimlessly, taking up space 😛

Christina says
January 2nd, 2013 at 5:35 pmHmmmm, is that the mall in Corte Madera? We are in San Bruno, and I feel like trying a new mall before Christmas vacation is over! We also may head to Mill Valley, to walk around that cute outdoor mall there. Any dining recommendation? You always post yummy foodie pictures! 🙂 We eat everything and anything!
Steph says
January 3rd, 2013 at 12:40 pmI need glasses. I thought the perfume said “Almond Garlic”!
Anyway, never too early for Valentine’s Day, I say!
