I won’t pretend that I didn’t try to fit Tabs into the case that comes with the new Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Oh La Luxe holiday kit ($79, available now at Sephora and also online), but you know…husky.
Here are those swatches I mentioned I’d do. Not really up to a whole lot today. So far I went for a run, cleaned up a little, started reading a new book (All These Things I’ve Done, by Gabrielle Zevin), and now I’m craving pumpkin gelato and trying to think of a way to sweet talk El Hub into getting me some.
Yup, action packed day. 🙂
How about you? What are you up to this afternoon?

October 9th, 2011 at 4:22 pmOoh, I love all of it. I do have a birthday this month….
I channeled my inner domestic diva today. No time for make up fun.

Heidi says
October 9th, 2011 at 4:42 pmWow, quite a swatching frenzy you were on there! Just got back from hitting up a 20% off sale at Big Lots and taking advantage of some Extra Bucks at CVS. All stocked up on necessities now.
Karen says
October 10th, 2011 at 8:34 amNice! What did you get?
Heidi says
October 10th, 2011 at 10:42 amAt Big Lots I mostly got stuff for the house (cleaning stuff, paper goods), but I also picked up a box of Christmas cards. Yes, I know it’s way early but they have a nice selection now and with the discount I had to go for it.
At CVS I picked up a couple of new items from Salma Hayek’s Nuance line. They are these three in one eye wands, with a cream shadow, a highlighting stick and a automatic pencil liner all in one wand. So handy! I’m trying out the pewter/silver one today. We’ll see how well it wears throughout the day.

Sonya says
October 9th, 2011 at 6:48 pmGah, Cable Car and Celestine are SO pretty!
Today I took advantage of the beautiful weather by playing a bit of tennis. Otherwise, not a very exciting Sunday (catching up on work..).

Rachael says
October 9th, 2011 at 7:01 pmThey’re pretty but loose powders and me don’t work too well together.
I started to plan my wedding! We’re getting married in a little over a year from today!
Karen says
October 10th, 2011 at 8:33 amRachael! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. 🙂

lindsey says
October 9th, 2011 at 8:25 pmooo! The liner is pretty, but bare escentuals is just not good makeup for traveling! I have so many eye shadows and extra foundations that sit in a box in my closet now because I travel so much for work. I may buy some of their new duos and quads though!
Karen says
October 10th, 2011 at 8:33 amHi Lindsey,
Lucky you that you get to travel for work. What do you do?

October 9th, 2011 at 8:26 pmThat song is in my head now!
Karen says
October 10th, 2011 at 8:32 amLOL… we should all dance in a barn now with Kevin Bacon (because I’m all about the original movie).

October 10th, 2011 at 5:43 amI love the Killers’ song “All These Things That I’ve Done”. 🙂 And, btw, what do you think of Footloose being remade? Of course I liked it back in the day, but I didn’t think it was screaming for a 2nd go. Then again, I guess I felt that way about the Karate Kid, too.
Karen says
October 10th, 2011 at 8:32 amHi, hi!
I’m really grumpy about it getting remade, to tell you the truth. It didn’t need to be re-done! Did you hear they are now also remaking Scarface? I’ve also heard rumors about Back to the Future getting remade. Sacrilege!
Nina says
October 10th, 2011 at 6:00 ami am not sure i want to commit to a bunch of loose eyeshadows but those swatches are tempting! i only have 3 BE/BM eyeshadows and while i love them, they dont get much use!
speaking of pumpkin gelato, i had some yesterday at a quaint little coffee shop while waiting for the hubs. yum!
Karen says
October 10th, 2011 at 8:28 amHow was your gelato? Mine was really delish… I went a little crazy and got an extra scoop of caramel pecan too. Whoops! Now I need to run it off. 🙂
Did you end up working this weekend?
Nina says
October 10th, 2011 at 10:15 amso good! i actually mixed pumpkin spice and dulce de leche – yusss! (ps — great minds think alike!)
i did. both friday night and saturday very early morning. it wasnt that bad. 🙂 im just glad i was done by the time we were ready to leave the house (finally, we stayed in saturday because it was raining a lot!)….
