  • 14-karat light gold plated hardware
  • Wipeable, durable nylon lining
  • Gold printed Kate Spade New York signature

  12. Hello! thanks for another lovely giveaway chance! i don’t usually paint my nails because the chipping would annoy me so much! i stick to self-pedicures. even during winter! 🙂

  16. I’m pretty good at doing my own nails as long as I don’t start puttering around doing stuff before they’re completely dry.

    Reply

  18. Happy Monday. I don’t wear perfume to bed, but the lotions I use pretty much smell like perfume, so I guess I do! Love Bath & Body works Shea Cashmere, Forever Red & Cherry Blossom.

    Have a great week everyone. It’s almost Christmas, yay! 🙂

  23. I think I’m steadily getting better at painting my nails, but I try not to sweat it if I get some on my fingers. I just peel it off in the shower 🙂

  32. Watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas with my 2yr old daughter. It gave me nightmares when I was a kid… Her outfit matches this case!

    Reply

  33. I have no idea how long ago the last time I wore a bow in my hair was… probably as a little kid! Not my look.

    I wear perfume to bed sometimes, but usually something light.

    Reply

  36. I admittedly suck at painting my nails, my husband does it for me! Loving the OPI Skyfall collection, currently rocking “you only live twice”.

    Reply

  39. Wow, this looks like it would be an awesome bag for traveling! Of course, I always bring too much makeup when I travel 🙂

    Reply

  45. Yes! Sometimes I do spray on some perfume before I go to bed to help me relax, that’s funny you would ask that. I also use a matching body lotion with the same scent….mmmmmm

    Reply

  51. My morning makeup routine is so varied! If I’m rushing to class it’s 5 minutes max, but if I’m going to work I like to get up early, put on some tunes and take my time, it helps me wake up!

    Reply

  70. I love Kate Spade prints! I am trying to keep my makeup nice and organized, I tend to hoard old stuff. This would motivate me to clean up and simplify!

  71. My stocking was made by my Mother. It has red and green candy canes on it. The front pocket has Frosty the Snowman stitched onto it. I was obsessed with that movie when I was little!

    Reply

  76. I have a Winnie the Pooh stocking that I’ve had for at least 15 years. I can’t imagine Christmas without it! haha
    Perfume to bed? Sounds interesting and I can’t say I have. haha

    Reply

  77. Hmm the last time I had a bow in my hair was probably Valentines Day, i had a red ribbon intertwined in a braid and ended in a bow 🙂

    Reply

  78. Oh goodness, this bag looks too sweet! I have been looking for something that I can lug back and forth while traveling – I always try to cram way too many products into a tiny little pouch.

    Reply

  82. I can paint my nails with my right hand but…I’m not so good with my left hand. So usually my nails on the right hand turn out much nicer. 😛

    Reply

  83. Alright, another cosmetics case I would not mind! 🙂 Today I spent a very long time trying to help a customer pick an item she could get for free and I’ve never seen a greedier person. Nothing was good enough! D:

    Reply

  93. I usually work out in booty shorts… no matter the weather.

    Side note: Doctor Oz says sleeping naked is good for weight loss. Sooo I assume working out half naked is even better.

    Reply

  95. I wore a pair of entirely too tight nude Jessica Simpson heels to work today. Considering that I was on my feet almost the entire day, it wasn’t a very smart choice.

    Reply

  110. I’ve been painting my own nails for several years now so I’ve gotten pretty good at it… didn’t used to be that way though!

    Reply

  117. I am hopeless when it comes to painting my own nails. They are always a mess and I rarely take the time to take care of them properly.

    Reply

  121. I’m pretty good at doing my own nails. I usually do them on a Sunday afternoon, giving them plenty of time to dry.

    Reply

  122. Hey Karen, I paint my own nails. I was a hardcore fan of the nail salon but they stopped doing a great job and the wait was rediculous. I’m pretty good at it now and have become quite addicted to buying nail polish. My nails are now longer and healthier than ever btw.

    Reply

  124. The last time i tried to put a bow on my cat she didnt speak to me for a week. So i guess the kitty santa beard is out of the question.

    Reply

  125. This is shaped exactly like the makeup case I have right now, the Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman case! I love the one I have now, but would love to have this one because the print is so much cuter. Fickle, I know… 😉

    Reply

  126. I have a pixi cut so adding a small bow clip to my hair is a perfect way to make my hair look dressed up!! I wore one on Sunday. I love wearing perfume to bed
    My favorite is Shalamir which i love but find it hard to pull off sometimes since so many people associate it with older beauties.

    Reply

  128. What a great giveaway! Love the bag. I have a couple little satin bow clips that look really lovely. I like pairing something girly with a less girly outfit or make up… Like my combat boots that I’m wearing right now!

    Reply

  138. If I’m wearing my hair up in a bun then I have a bow in it. I actually have a red, green, and silver sparkly one that I rock during the holidays.

    Reply

  139. Cute case! there was a multicolored polka dot one I saw one or two seasons ago in this shape… should have gotten it. Thanks for the giveaways!

    Reply

  145. Hmmmmm, no bows in my hair recently, but I did wear cute braided pigtails this past summer on my mountain vacation getaway. I figured, no one knew me except my family, so what the heck! 🙂

    Reply

  147. I’m all thumbs when I paint my toes, I take on the craziest poses and facial expressions, not cute at all. Love this bag, btw. Very chic.

    Reply

  148. I wore my favorite Franco Sarto black leather knee high boots today – I’ve had them for probably 4-5 years, they’ve been resoled and I recently got the zipper fixed on one. There’s nothing fancy about them but they’re sleek and comfortable and fit my big ol’ calves perfectly, LoL

    Reply

  162. I’ve gotten to the point where I can do my own nails, but it’s not the same as a salon mani — I even found a booth in the mall that offers one for $8. The makeup case is so lovely!

    Reply

  174. I haven’t worn a bow in my hair since kindergarten. I use to hate when my mom did the whole “pig tails” thing 😛

    Reply

  176. What an adorable bag. Besides using it for the obvious, carrying your beauty goodies on trips, I think it’s so cute to use during the day, to carry all your essentials, which for me, happen to be all beauty items. This adorable bag would be perfect with jeans , when you’re out for the day on a weekend afternoon.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  196. The last time I put a bow in my hair was this morning, to keep the hair away from my face while rinsing it and applying moisturizer 🙂

    Reply

  202. The last time I wore a bow in my hair wasn’t too long ago… last week! My friend insisted I wear a sparkly bow headband for my birthday 🙂

    Reply

  203. I’m not-too-shabby-tabby when it comes to painting my nails. I’m not perfect, but being ambidextrous means that at least both hands look equally messy, lol!

    Reply

  204. Hm! Signature look? BB cream, cat eye liner, NARS Funny Face, whatever nail polish pleases me that day. Easy to throw on and lasts easily through the day! Though my hands are extremely shaky to put polish on without help. My husband has become skilled in helping me out. It’s become a dorky morning ritual.

  214. Do you know of an inpatient treatment program for makeup addiction. Maybe something with a spa like atmosphere and handsome poolboys?

    Reply

  228. I just started doing my own gel nails with the gelish nail polish line! Just picked up a very festive green sparkly festive color for Christmas!!
    Cheers
