Can I have a fan blowing my hair back like this 24/7? Please?
Even though summer’s quickly slipping away, I’m not ready to let it go. It’s hella hot again today in Nor Cal, so I couldn’t resist busting out this summery look with shimmery golden brown eyes.
Remember the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette from a few days back? I followed the Fashion eye look instructions, adding Cargo’s awesome Plant Love Eyeliner in Black to the waterline for a little extra oomph.
The other stars in this summery show are NARS Blush in Torrid and our girl MAC Nymphette.
Excuse the fan action, LOL! It’s sooo cheesy but I *love* it. 🙂
How’s it going out in your neck of the woods? Got any exciting Friday night plans? I’m not sure what I’m doing yet, but whateva it is I hope it involves air conditioning!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

August 28th, 2009 at 4:00 pmKaren! I like this Kim Kardashian look on you!
Karen says
August 28th, 2009 at 5:03 pmHi Veedee,
Kim is one of my makeup heros. I wish I had her smokey eye game!
How’s your Friday going?

August 28th, 2009 at 4:01 pmHey Karen,
Looking very glamorous there. I wish I could have a fan to blow my hair out everywhere I go, too! I’m glad you’re enjoying your too faced palette.
I wanted to go to a party tonight, but my friends are strapped for cash so they bailed. I’m a bit disappointed, but what can you do? I’ve got the golden girls, my laptop and my AC to comfort me. LOL
Karen says
August 28th, 2009 at 5:02 pmHi Shontay,
LOL! Hey, at least you’re saving money, right? And the Golden Girls are always guaranteed good company. 😉
Kelly says
August 28th, 2009 at 4:37 pmThe fan kicks arse Karen!
Hmm tonight I am probably ordering pizza and watching a movie at home, which is standard fare for a Friday night. It’s hotter than Hades here also and it’s quiet and hazy out. Reminds me a little of the day of the Oakland Hills fire, yipes!

August 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pmHi Kelly,
OMG, it’s SO hot up here in Marin. I’m literally melting in my chair.
Pizza and a movie sounds good. If I can somehow magically conjure some air conditioning I’d love to do that too. 🙂
How’s your Friday going?
Kelly says
August 28th, 2009 at 5:04 pmIt’s a weird one today. I was telecommuting anyway, but there was a huge chemical spill at a plant near work so they closed the entire campus and no one could go in.
I have A/C but we hardly ever turn it on, it’s actually kinda cool inside because I had everything shut up today. I definitely will NOT be turning the oven on to cook tonight though! 🙂
Hey how are you watching True Blood season 2? I haven’t been able to get any of the online players to work for me and I need a vamp fix!

Karen says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:37 pmHi Kelly,
Yeah, I have. Marisol sent me a link a few weeks back… here it ’tis: TEAM VAMPIRE BILL, YA’LL!.
Michelle says
August 28th, 2009 at 5:16 pmI want your hair. LOVE the fan action! Now I want to go out and buy this palette (just add it to my list)!!
Karen says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:38 pmHi Michelle,
If you like neutrals you might like this a lot! 🙂 I’ve tried a couple of the looks — the Day and the Fashion ones are my favorite. You can also mix and match the colors to make your own looks, too.
How’s your Friday going? This week went by so fast!
Kate & Zena says
August 28th, 2009 at 6:07 pmFan action would be cool 24/7. There’s just one teeny tiny problem–I get that nearly everyday, albeit the Windy City variety. One grows really, really tired of the wind after a while, especially as I’ve got the fine hair that loves tangling. I especially hate the wind in winter as it just loves blowing over the frozen lake!
Unfortunately, I won’t be getting much fan action. My brother and mom lovingly badgered me in cutting my hair last Sunday. I got nearly three-and-a-half inches chopped off the back! My longest layer just hits below my shoulder. :sobs: I want my long hair back!
It’s been really cold here in the Midwest. The weatherman says it should hit around 79 next Friday but until then, I’m stuck in jeans. Poor Zena hasn’t had a walk in two days! It rained all day yesterday and it stopped this afternoon but it’s still humid! I slept until 3 this afternoon. I never sleep that late unless I have a migraine. Apparently, I was more tired than I had originally thought!
Karen says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:39 pmHi Kate & Zena,
No worries, girlfriend — you’re hair will be back soon enough. And haaaay, at least this way you can save a lil’ bit of money on shampoo.
What are you plans for the weekend? Studying?
Ida says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:01 pmWow! I’ve only been on your blog for a few minutes but I felt like I really must tell you the affect you have already had on me. (I’m Swedish so you’ll have to excuse me if my english isn’t all perfect.)
I was checking out your video up in the corner almost right away (when I entered the site) and it really made me feel welcome and gave a really positive first impression of you and your blog. The video itself together with your latest posts made me want to come back soon again and instantly made me put your blog among my favourites.
I am going to check out some of your older posts (entries? haha I don’t know which word to use here but I’m sure you understand what I mean..) and I look forward to come back here!
Hope you had a great day!
Hugs, Ida

August 28th, 2009 at 7:41 pmHi Ida,
A big hello from San Francisco! Ya know, the internet STILL amazes me. It trips me out that I get to “meet” people from all over the world.
Are you a makeup enthusiast? What are your favorite brands?
Talk to you soon!
Ida says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:14 pmBtw, I LOVE your hair. You do have my dream look when it comes to hair and skin color. It’s beyond gorgeous. My skin color is very light and I have a hard time even getting a tan. Me, jealous? – Oh yes!
.-= Ida’s last blog post… Dagens roligaste kommentar =-.
Marce says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:23 pmPerfect! It looks fabulous, and the fan is so not cheesy, your hair looks amazing with all that kick ass volume! I really want Nymphette…I’ve wanted it for ages, and this just makes me want it more! 😀

You gotta get it, ASAP! It would look so pretty with your skin color. 🙂
What’s the plan for this weekend, girlie? I just want to not melt…
Marisol says
August 28th, 2009 at 7:30 pmWoman you look fierce! What was up with the heat today? It was 91 is SSF today. I love it. I hope it continues to be like this all weekend long. =)

Kate & Zena says
August 28th, 2009 at 8:59 pmLOL on the shampoo. I know it’ll grow back but it’s absolutely infuriating at times as I can’t pull it into a bun without half my hair sticking out!
My weekend plans are (hopefully) walk Zena, do my laundry, buy a USB cable so I can upload pictures from my camera phone, beat up the courier company if my psychology book doesn’t arrive tomorrow, write down the due dates of all my essays (which seems endless) on my calendar and reading. Lots of it.
Karen says
August 29th, 2009 at 10:59 amHi Kate & Zena,
Hope the rain has let up for you! Have a good day!
Stephie says
August 28th, 2009 at 9:52 pmDaYum Karen. I love these fan pictures of you. I don’t know how you look so fresh in them. Can’t say the same for myself. I’m really surprised how the eyeshadows are neutral but striking at the same time. That EOTD combo looks really great on you!

Oh, I’ve been there when it’s like that and it’s ROUGH. On days like that it’s all about Splash Mountain!
Catherine says
August 28th, 2009 at 10:49 pmThis looks fabulous on you! And lol, I <3 the fan too. =)

How are you? Have you started classes yet?

Kypris says
August 29th, 2009 at 1:43 amI think that is an AWESOME look! You just look fabulous – it may be a neutral palette but it really stands out on you! These people should pay you for advertising their product so well 😉
I have plans for… well, tonight (since it’s already Saturday in Europe!). I’m partying the night away since I leave Vienna on Tuesday, and Europe the following Monday! I’ll be sad to leave but happy to be back with my family and friends.
Karen says
August 29th, 2009 at 10:56 amHi Kypris,
I can’t believe your time there is almost over! It seems like it’s gone by in a flash. How are you liking Vienna? I’ve always wanted to go.
Tavia says
August 29th, 2009 at 1:51 amYou look gorgeous in the first photo :). I like this palette, but the other days I was in Sephora to take a peek at the smoky eye palette. Interesting how the makeup would turn out to be, cause I saw dark blue and green and I usually don’t use these colors. Maybe you can do a review on this palette soon and a makeup combining this colors would be interesting too.

I also discovered a MAC store here, but I didn’t want to tempt myself so I stayed away… my wallet is already feeling a lot lighter after this summer!
