Weird.

How’s everything going this morning? What are you doing today…other than entering the giveaway right now?

    I once absent-mindedly put a book I hadn’t paid for in my purse. My boyfriend at the time asked if I had ever stolen anything before, to which I casually replied “no,” not knowing why he was asking it. Anyway, I realized what I had done a few minutes later when I couldn’t find the book I wanted to buy!

    I actually rocked a smokey eye just this past Tuesday, I always steer clear of black shadow 95% of the time but everytime I wear it I get alot of complimentary remarks about my eyes, I actually used burgandy in the inner corner and a touch of it as well in the transition it came out pretty cool (: Also a brand I love one if not the only non high end makeup lines I use is sleek makeup and yes I wish it was carried in the u.s (:

    I unfortunately have seen people stealing quite a bit. At my past job as a prestige manager at ULTA, we see people steal all the time. There is nothing we can do about it because we are not allowed to approach the people for our own safety. It is so sad to watch people come in and swipe a shelf filled with Urban Decay, Too Faced, Anastasia, Tarte, etc. and they just get away with it unless we can identify them through the cameras and get a car and license plate. We all work so hard for our money and so many of us save and and save to buy a lipstick, eye palette, mascara, whatever we have been eyeing on youtube so that we can feel that completion and creativeness go through us! To watch others come in and take without a second thought is heartbreaking. Makeup is an art that is overlooked and gets such a bad reputation, and part of that is because people come and steal what others respect enough to work hard for.

I’ve ordered Nars, Smashbox and Too Faced online and Too Faced is by far my favorite brand. The sad thing is that there are so many brands I want to try but are not available in Europe like Becca, Lorac and Tarte. I wish we had like a decent Sephora here :c

    I still think the most beautiful design on a makeup product (not eyeshadow, I know) is MAC Marine Life! Love that seahorse!! For eyeshadow, I like how the NARS dual intensity shadows have the cool pattern on them and MAC Extra Dimension shadows too.

    last time I wore a smokey eye was probably last weekend. I tend to wear them a lot. Smokey eye til I die!

    Dear Husband and Dear Daughter are in Korea on a business trip, so I’m on my own this weekend. I’m cat sitting my daughter’s cat, so now I have two fur beasts in my house. Even though I’m on a “no new buy” (I’m allowed to replace anything I use up or wear through) this year, I think I will just go for a walk to the mall and browse.

Well, smokey eyes I try to do but I’m so pale they end up looking really awful half the time. And I absolutely have never been able to use liner in my waterline. It makes my eyes red, look smaller, and washes away. Perhaps I’ll try it again and see if I can do it. I’m trying new things and I may as well give it a shot. 🙂

    I live in Sweden so I wished we had Lorac, Becca and Hourglass! But I shouldn’t complain too much since things have really improved here since Sephora opened and I visit the states twice a year. Becca, Hourglass can be ordered from the UK and part of the Tarte collection is avaiable at QVC UK. What I really miss is Lorac and IT Cosmetics! The brands I have mentioned are a lot cheaper in the states than here. But then again By Terry, Guerlain and basically all the French pharmacy brands are way more expensive in America. So, I really shouldn’t complain but it is tough when I have the urge to swatch something not to be able to do it. I would be lost without great Internet swatches.

Australian online stores just don’t have anywhere near the selection American ones do (even the Aussie Sephora vs the US Sephora) so I placed an order for some perfumes for my mom to send me from the states.

    My husband is the funniest person I know, he says he’s shy and introverted but when you get him in a group he’s the life of the party and everyone hangs on his every word. He’s easily the best, funniest story teller I’ve ever met.

    My favorite make up and skincare line that’s not as popular in the us, but I think it’s really good is Shiseido. I use think it’s an “older” line, BUT now that I’m “older” (30s) I luv their line. They have some pretty good eye shadows, sun screen (I’ve rebought a few times), and skin care. I do own their brush and eye lash curler, so I do luv their line.

    hallo, love, I hope you and Connor Claire are well and having an amazing springtime, even if it is flying by crazy fast! (tabs too! tell him I too am picky about which dish I eat from! ?) We’ve finally just gotten some solidly good weather over here in western PA, so tulips are blooming and everything is sunny and in that goldilocks not-too-hot zone… the best!

    I think the prettiest eyeshadows I’ve ever seen have got to be the Hourglass modernist palettes… the purple hued one especially; I about melted the first time I saw it. it is just too too pretty. I’ve never used one, so I can’t speak to the fallout I’ve heard about, but I do question the practicality of all the shades running together! I’ll give em credit though, it is a work of cosmetic art! 🙂

    Hi Karen! How are you and your family? This stay-at-home mom and wife is catching up on reading your blog while listening to my favorite Pandora station at Starbucks right now. I am very thankful to get a break from my responsibilities.

    I tried a smokey eye yesterday and thought I kind of looked like a panda. My husband told me I didn’t, but I second guessed him when my three year old niece asked me why my eyes were black.

    The funniest person in my immediate family is my sister, Rebecca! She is so quick and hilarious! And our cousin Jeff is also very humorous! Wish I got that gene. I am more sarcastic and self-deprecating and most people don’t get it. Oh well…Hope you had a wonderful weekend with the family!

    I worked in retail for about 5 years. It seems like there was a shoplifting incident every week or so. People would attempt to take off the ink tags on jeans while in the dressing room. That could be a mess!

    Not an eyeshadow pan; but I LOVE the design of Charlotte Tilbury’s Bar of Gold. http://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/the-bar-of-gold.html

    “What’s your favorite makeup line that isn’t widely carried in your home country?”:
    Tarte & Viseart – would love me some of that in Denmark 🙂

    Man, I don’t even remember when I last wore visible eyeshadow. Like, a year ago? Been into the winged eyeliner only look.

    What’s your favorite makeup line that isn’t widely carried in your home country?

    All the french pharmacy brands!

    What’s the most beautiful pattern or design you’ve ever seen on an eyeshadow pan?

    I really loved the Guerlain bees and Russian doll collections. More recently MAC Alluring Aquatics!

    Have you ever seen anybody steal something before?

    Yeah, quite a few times.

    Who is the funniest person in your family?

    A tie between me and my brother Nate.

    Are you more stubborn, or easygoing?

    Both! Equally so!

    About when was the last time you rocked a smokey eye?

    New Years!

    I recently moved to the US and even though I have found so many things to love here I really miss getting Bourjois makeup. Seriously, how come it is not widely available here, it is pretty awesome and cheap. Also, SUQQU should come to the US too, especially their eyeshadows.

    Yes! I’ve witnessed a theft before. In a grocery store I watched a lady put a bunch of makeup in her purse. She just walked away like it didn’t phase her at all

    I’m pretty easy going except for when I have my mind set on something, I have to follow thru with it.

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).
