The coffee’s brewing, there’s a husky tabby purring on my lap, I’m wearing stretchy pants, and I’m about to organize my blush drawer, starting with these True Hue ones from Buxom, which are fab!
It doesn’t get any better than this. π

P.S. Congrats to Nicole for winning last weekend’s $50 prize with her comment, “I am obsessed with Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil! Highly recommend!” I got your email, Nicole! I’ll follow up with you soon.
My favorite game right now is Feed the Fat Cat that my husband made. It’s available on Google Store, if anyone wants to try π
The last time I went to Sephora I bought from their nail polish collection I just love the formula. I love how creamy and long lasting they are.
I haven’t had the chance to shop at Sephora yet, but I’m dying to check it out!
π Where did Summer go!!
Is it weird that I’m already terribly excited to wear the fall makeup looks, might start early!!
Just got back from vacation to see my favorite kitty!
My alarm clock in the morning sounds like a annoying beeping noise that drives me insane. And sometimes I wear a watch.
Just got into bronzer this week.. Lovin’ it!
karen! all those adventures are fun, but it sure does feel good to be home long enough to re-organize your dwelling π
i usually do my cleaning on monday. i don’t think i’ve really vacuumed the apt. while The Man is home. (he hates the sound.) feels so good to have a clean apt. and all the laundry put away π
i picked up some red gloss-like lipsticks, courtesy of the featured bloggers. i tried the Stila, but felt it was too orange for me. i went to ulta, but sephora is on my to-do list, along with MAC. it has been too long. maybe when i go home, i’ll finally be able to visit these lovely places.
have a lovely weekend and thanks for the giveaway opportunity! π
Thanks for the giveaway.
You’re fabulous!
I love those blushes! Thanks for the giveaway!
I visited Sephora on Tuesday and got so excited about unexpectedly getting a new foundation that I forgot the purpose of the trip, which was the new Urban Decay lipsticks!
Yay!! I can’t choose only one game, so my favourite ones so far are Bioshock and Call of Duty. Having only a mac to play with is frustrating, I can’t wait to buy a console π And my alarm clock sounds like hell’s bells. Literally, not AC/DC’s song.
Fingers crossed! π
Drive time is audio book time. Currently doing “The Medieval World” from The Great Courses. Interestingly, the next subject to be covered is Dress & Fashion.
The last time I went to Sephora was about a month ago!
I haven’t been to Sephora in a couple of weeks, but I’ve got a shopping list ready to go!
I hate generic alarm clock sounds, so I always set my alarm with a favorite song. Right now it’s set to Lindsey Stirling’s Game of Thrones. I feel quite royal waking up to it!
Also, I have to say: Tabs looks SO CUTE!
I went to Sephora about two weeks ago. I think I visit Sephora at least once a month.
A terrible weak, and an exhausting stressful day at work today π Hope your weekend is better than mine!
Nothing quite like lounging on the couch on a sat morning with a cup of coffee!
These giveaways are so generous & fun! Thanks Karen! If I won I would love to stock up on colder weather skincare….
The last time I went to Sephora was about a week ago! Got some Oscar Blandi dry shampoo π
I’ve got my alarm set to this awful song. It’s effective because as soon as I hear the first few lines I’m already reaching to turn it off.
I have my alarm set to wake me up to my favorite radio station. No buzzing or beeping for me first thing in the morning!
Got to sleep in today, but I only slept about 6ish hours π so sad.
My favorite game is Apple to Apples!
For the last eight months I have been unemployed and reading this blog has been my main inspiration as I updated my makeup wish list. I now have a new job and now read the blog even more, as I pack Nutella sandwiches for my lunch and learn to do my makeup in my office before work starts! Love your blog Karen!
Hi Karen, hv a great weekend!
aloha
I wear an all-black glittery Swatch which I love… except that it ticks SO loudly! Always a mistake when I fall asleep wearing it, it sounds like I’m sleeping next to a gong.
Still working on that paper I commented about a few weeks ago. I hope it’s sunny and bright where everyone is π
i love audiobooks, esp when i’m doing mindless computer work!
Sephora gift card is like Christmas any day! Love your blog. So fun and I love the kitty!
my new obsession right now is the Conceal RX Concealer from Physicians Formula. It is a def full coverage so it may not be suitable for under the eyes but for blemishes or pesky pimples it is amazing! I would say it is better than my Hard Candy Glamoflage and that stuff is hard to beat for full coverage.
Last time I went to Sephora was over a month ago!
The town I live in only has a tiny tiny JCpenny Sephora. *sad face* I always make sure to go to a Sephora while on vacation, I can spend hours there!
Bday is coming up, I need this! Lol
Last time I was at a Sephora was a few weeks ago at Downtown Disney. I picked up OCC’s new stained gloss lip tar in Meta. But because of my excitement as I hardly ever get to go to one, I did something very stupid that I shall not explain! Haha!
Karen, your latest post on the new Mac Sheen Supreme lipsticks is making my wallet tingle… I really shouldn’t get anywhere near a Mac after my last haul.
thanks Karen, every week the same dream, win!
My phone’s vibrations as my alarm clock is quite pleasant, but I still have a super loud alarm clock in my room. I haven’t used it for two years because it would give me a VERY scary start to my morning.
I’m gonna go for a double whammy here: I have NEVER
I’m gonna go for a double whammy here: I have NEVER been to a sephora before since we don’t have one where I live, but I do order online! And the one shortcut I have to make my eye makeup quicker is to work with a neutral base(Soft Ochre Paint pot:D ) and use bronzer to deepen my crease- makes for a softly defined eye!
I went to south beach today, and i made a stop at sephora to exchange something , ended up buying so much ! As i walked back i passed by MAC , got a fix+and a lipstick AND on my way back home i had to stop at ulta, last day for the 20%off. Today was a good day !
I am currently jonesing bad for the Smashbox cream. I’m hoping it doesnt break out my face! I’m a Psych. Major so I have a full load on my hands with course work and kids so sometimes I get breakouts bc of stress. I think the CC cream will come in handy for after treating blemishes.
Sorry I fixed my email address it was wrong in my last comment!
Going shoe shopping today.. wish me luck!
I wear either my chocolate Fossil watch or black D&G every day!
last time I went to Sephora, I picked up a lipstick from too faced and I love it! I love the formulation and really wanna pick up another one
I have this alarm clock: http://www.now-zen.com/Zen_Time_Piece.html
Its a pleasant way to wake up.
In love with my UD revolution lipstick!!!
I wake up to NPR every morning. Well and my other alarm sound are the meows of our cat, who usually wakes us up a good half hour before our alarms go off.
Last time I was at sephora I picked up the Stila Smudge Stick in cobalt. Holy pigmentation!
Those liners are amazing and they really are waterproof.
Plus cobalt is a super trendy color for fall!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Woohoo!!
Last time I went to Sephora was to exchange the Smashbox BB Cream for the Benefit 15 hour primer.
I hope I win! I can’t wait to try Nars blushes or the new Urban Decay lipstick!
I am planning a trip to Sephora at the end of August woohoo!
I go to Sephora a few times a month.
It’s my birthday today! I can finally enter these giveaways cause I’m legal, lol. I have been reading this blog for about 3 years now. Your quirky, up-beat personality makes your blog so fun to read! π
I wear a Nixon watch every day!
I have thin lips, and the best and quickest way I’ve found to make them look fuller is to highlight my cupid’s bow with an ivory eye liner – Works like a charm every time without making it too obvious!
Have you seen the Channel watches!!? ultimate beauty!! i dont own one but i do have Guess and MK
I’m dying to get my hands on some new lippies–thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Karen! I also love blush! Cleaning my makeup drawers is my favorite thing to do.
i really really love mufe’s aqua smoky lash mascara!
Last time I was in Sephora was last week and my alarm clock sounds like something dying…totally wakes you up. Thanks for the giveaway!!
It’s the first time me seeing a kitty in a suit. Tabs looks amazing! π
Last time I went to Sephora was almost 2 months ago…Needed to save for my new place.
Last time I was at Sephora was in Portland, OR. I was buying yellow and black eye makeup so I could do a Hufflepuff themed look for Leakycon, the Harry Potter convention I was at.
For quick eye make up, I dip my finger in a base shade complementary to the main shade I want to use (taupe, nude, pale pink, cream or champagne) and quickly swipe it over my lids and slightly out towards the outer end of my eyebrow, then I take my main colour and blend it into the outer corner. With a slick of suitable eyeliner and a couple of coats of a decent mascara, I can have a nice done eye in just over a minute or so.
Last time I was in Sephora I wanted to max out all my credit cards…. But walked out sad and empty handed.
I really need to find acute, fashionable watch…I just don’t like how they look!
I just went to Sephora today–hurrah mascara!
Last time I was at Sephora I got Nars Schiap lipstick π
I never listen to audiobooks because I don’t like people reading to me. My mom thinks this is why I taught myself to read at the age of 4. π
Wishing you a fabulous weekend!
I’ve always been so curious about what you do with all of your makeup! Especially the ones you feel meh about. Do you just toss em? Give to friends? Use them all? Or just hoard in case of zombies? I hope you have a great weekend Karen! Thank you for doing these giveaways every week π
I went to Sephora last week and bought the “Medium Shopping Bag Makeup Palette”.. BEST THING EVER!!!! Seriously, everyone should have this in their makeup collection !
I finally worked on my tan today & got in some much needed pool time π ahhh relaxation
i love sephora
Karen I absolutely adore your blog! I’ve been secretly reading for a while now and I enjoy reading your reviews and antics. Your whimsical style of writing is very different from most beauty bloggers, along with your co-bloggers! (Not sure if that’s the name..)
I wish I had a cat! But I adore my little Yorkie too π Perhaps someday I can have my own Tabs who’s willing to model for me.
The Harp sound on my iPhone is usually my wakeup sound. π
I’ve been drooling over Buxom Full-Bodied lipstick! Aaaah!!
I don’t actually wear a watch but I just bought a cute one in VeryJane so I might start!
The last time I visited Sephora was the last two weekends in a row, and I just placed an online order earlier today. Thanks to your blog, I’ve recently developed an obsession with Urban Decay,and I just have to get my weekly fix!
So ready for the fall/winter brunette look I have ahead of me. I have been a blonde for so long, I am ready to change the makeup style also!!! Life as a lady!!
Thanks for the giveaway
Marc Jacobs Cosmetics-I’m coming for you if I win this giveaway!
I can never buy at a Sephora store, its just too much pretty things for me and I can’t control myself, I preffer to buy online, besides you get to save the beauty insider points and they have pretty good rewards π
You and your blog are fabulous! I’m currently obsessed with collecting the 24/7 Urban Decay pencils, just ordered three moreΓ°ΕΈΛΕ
The last time I was at Sephora was in May when I was on vacation in Florida. I don’t have any stores near me so I really only get to go once a year, but I’m great at online ordering:)
I am in love with the jouer bronzer in suntan, and the clinique gloss balm pencil in apricot π
My alarm clock is set to the radio.
I haven’t stepped into a Sephora in FOREVER. That needs to change! π
Hmmm, let’s see… About a week ago was my latest trip to Sephora and I picked up the Nars pro prime eyelid primer and a 1oz bottle of Urban Decay All Nighter, just to give it a shot.
I made an online order at Sephora and got two HG products for me: Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray and a Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color in Amethyst! I can’t live without those two!
I love Sephora. But brazilian taxes suck, marking every single item so expensive…. π
Just purchased Elizabeth Arden mango cream lippie!
I listen to audiobooks in the wintertime!
I’ve really been into tinted lip conditioners/lip balms lately (Maybelline Color Whisperers, MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks) ! They add a nice hint of color, but are also moisturizing, perfect for summer! I think I might actually carry this into the fall too!
I have my alarm clock set to my Ipod.
I like sephora, my last purchase was a month ago, I bought philosophy lip gloss. I love that it contains mint and it feels smooth on my lips π
yay I love your give a ways! have a wonderful weekend π
tabs looks so dashing in that suit
I love audiobooks! They are the perfect accompaniment when I am working on the computer. Have fun organizing your blush…I imagine that is quite the job. Scratch Tabs behind the ears for me.
I was just at Sephora a few days ago…Thursday, actually. I’m there so often π
Preparing to do some cleaning as well! π
I live in the netherlands and recently they closed ALL sephora’s here because apparently we don’t deserve their heavenly goodies. There used to be one about an hour away from me so one day I went to that city and I saved up a lot and I was about to treat myself but apparently it closed and I was so sad π
I went to Sephora on the 4th of July and just placed an order last night on the website.
I’ve never been to Sephora! For now all I can do is bug my friends to bye me stuff when they go to the US.
My favorite game is Carcassone! It’s a great boardgame, and fun for all ages.
Γ°ΕΈΛΒSephora gift card!? YES PLEASE! I want to try the Josie Maran argan matchmaker serum. $50 buckaroos will certainly help!!
I went to Sephora a couple of weeks ago to pick up some eye cream (Clinique All About Eyes).
I just finished making my yummy pop tarts that my kids have requested 2 weeks in a row! I think my tweaking has finally made them internet worthy.

My favorite game right now is Agricola– wonderfully complicated in ways only a Euro game can be. Super fun and takes forever! π
Today totally feels like a lazy day for me. Although I did go to little Tokyo (los angeles) in the morning for a quick trip to the book store.
Last time I went to Sephora was over 3 months ago. π But I do shop on their website a lot!
I can’t go out without watch..it makes me go nuts without knowing the time!
I have to wear a watch when I’m teaching. That way, I don’t have to have my phone out and I can surreptitiously check the time no matter where I am in the classroom.
I never used to wear anything on my wrists, but when I went to Germany a few years ago, I had to wear a watch so I would know what time it was. Now I always have to wear a (digital) watch! I hate wearing anything else on my wrists or hands, though.
last time i went to sephora i finally picked up the Naked palette. I know im the last one to that party..
The last time I was in Sephora I bought Michael More leg shine, Too Faced Primed Poreless & Smashbox Camera Ready BB cream. If I could put my bed in Sephora I would be a happy girl. π
I bought one of the new UD lipsticks and I am OBSESSED. I would totally use the Sephora gift card to get more.
Another hot day in Honolulu!
I found out my work is about a mile away from a Sephora. I went twice for this past week during my lunch hour. Such shame! But I did get the Ariel palette. It’s so gorgeous! Also, I can’t stop gushing about Too Faced Primed and Poreless powders. Both pressed and loose. Seriously fabulous at priming (and for mid-day touch-ups).
I am due for a visit to Sephora to see the Deborah Lippmann exclusive polishes! Benefit creaseless cream eyeshadows are swipe and go easy + fast. I rely on my faves when I am in a rush. Birthday suit Flatter Me and No pressure.
I just went to Sephora and bought all four of the recent NARS LE blushes – Boys Don’t Cry, Rotonde, Soulshine, Realm of the Senses…HOLY CRAP that is a lot of blush!!!
Thank you so much for this giveaway!!! If i win i’ll buy urban decay stuff π
I went to sephora last week and bought a kat von d liquid liner which I loveeee!!!!
Spent the day running errands. Now the rest of the weekend is mine!
The last time i went to Sephora was a couple days ago on my birthday π
I just bought a UD Revolution lipstick. They ARE as amazing as you said! π
Hi Karen,
Your updates about Tabs have finally made me decide to get another cat after my last one passed away a year ago! Thank you Karen!
Sometimes, lounging around and organizing your makeup is the only bliss you need, haha!
I’m on Day 2 of post-wisdom teeth removal surgery. My gums hurt like a mofo, and I resemble the Nutty Professor, but it’ll be over with in a few days!
I’ve been wearing the same watch for almost 6 years and I desperately want a new one. Not that there’s anything wrong with the one I have, I just want a different one:P
I feel like a shopping trip at Sephora would help me de-stress a great deal.
I have to go dress shopping for a formal wedding this weekend. I want to find something the same color as MAC Rebel lipstick.
I’m pretty sure Monica was leaving her lipstick on Clinton the last time I bought blush. Help me!
I went to Sephora just last weekend!
Im addicted to sugar.
I’ve tried listening to audiobooks because I think it would be great to entertain myself when I’m doing things that don’t require thinking (cleaning, knitting), but I always stop paying attention and I have to rewind, which sort of takes away from the time-saving aspect of it, so now I just stick to reading the books myself.
The last time I went to Sephora was today and yesterday!
I’m definitely on a no-buy from now until 2014… but… MAKEUP (sigh)
Every time I go into Sephora, I feel like I just get sucked in and stay for hours! I absolutely love audiobooks, though I’ve really only listened to the Harry Potter ones.
I am apartment hunting currently and it is so hectic these days…. Added more to my dark circles. I want to get the clarins and origins under eye creams and stock up on some natural looking blushes. Hopefully the new nars blushes. Heyo to tabs :))

I was just at Sephora a couple of hours ago! Love that store…more than I should…
I love your kitty photoshoping!
Last time I went to Sephora was a while ago, actually! Would love to win this for the new Kat Von D stuff π
Last time I went to Sephora was July 12, 2013. Been stocking up on Sephora by OPI nail polish before it goes poof!
I’m not sure if getting a gift card would encourage me with cleaning up, but I’m excited!
I haven’t shopped at Sephora in forever! I am dying to try Illamasqua!
I think the cell phone killed the watch
I was actually in sephora a couple weeks ago when my phone rang and I’m studying to become a PI and a blaring ” This is the DEA everyone put your hands on your heads and get on your knees” sang out! It’s my ringtone and all these pretty die eyed women two of which had their hands up just stared at me while I visited the bottle of Gucci guilty I want do badly eek
The last time I went to sephora was just a few weeks ago. I can’t seem to control myself for much longer than that. I’m already putting together my shopping list on their website to get ready for my next trip! π
Wanting to try the new Lorac pro to go kit!
I haven’t been to Sephora in over a month and i want to go so badly but will have to wait until kids start school again in September, since I can’t take the little one in there.
Omg Tabs looks so cute in the Tuxedo.
my alarm clock is three kids jumping on my bed asking for breakfast. I snooze til they say they are starving.
I can’t wait to go to sephora and pick up the hourglass ambient lightening powder in dim. so gorgeous!
I miss 30 Rock!
Im pretty much in love with all sephora products!
I am reading “Shroud for the Archbishop” by Peter Tremayne.

So cool that you got to visit Hourglass HQ!
Today I took advantage of the Tarte Friend & Family sale for the second time. My blush obsession continues. I’m watching Sleeping With the Enemy and making homemade tomato soup. It’s been a lovely weekend, and there is still another whole day.
I don’t go to Sephora enough!
An Eyeshade can make u glad
A blush can make u lush
A lipstick can make u hot chick
So don’t miss any of them beauties..we are all beautiful and yay! that’s our strength ^.^
I’m a VIB Rouge and need to save some money so this gift card would be perfect! Thanks for doing this Karen!
Can’t say that I ever look forward to cleaning!
Oooohhh there’s tons of things in my loves that I’d spend this on…
love sephora!
I really want to try the new Guerlain Madame Flirt lipstick and the Madame Rougit blush!
The last time I was at Sephora was a couple of weeks ago. I finally ended up buying some OCC Lip Tar!
Thank you for this giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! My second home is Sephora lol
Last time I went to Sephora, I picked up a NARS eyeliner and the LORAC Unzipped palette! My alarm sounds like the theme song from Doctor Who π Thanks, Karen
my alarm is justin beiber’s ‘as long as you love me’ because i hate him and his music so it wakes me up fast so i can turn it off asap
I finally found a true 5 star product (besides my absolute HG Advanced Night Repair by Estee Lauder) in Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. I seriously want a gallon of it sitting next to my nightstand!

I’ve been wearing a watch everyday since I was like 10 years and now I feel uncomfortable when I forget to wear one for the day. I like them to be loose because I tend to play with them in my wrist.
I haven’t been to Sephora since May, when I lost my job. π And I’ve lost my watch. I took it with me when I moved to Europe, meaning to get the dead battery replaced, but then I kept putting it off because of language barrier issues and now that I’ve moved back to the US I can’t find it.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is on my current Sephora wish list. Perfect scent for summer!
I haven’t been to Sephora in a few months… I need to get my fix soon.
I was a Sephora about a week ago to return the Dior BB creme; it just didn’t do anything for me. So it was exchanged for Hourglass’ Raven and a couple of sale OPI polishes.
I occasionally listen to audiobooks but as a visual learner I find them very hard to pay attention to. There is just nothing quite like a paperback book in your hands.
I wear watches. I love to wear watches which has lots of designs & decorations in them. Till now I got 5 watches as gifts.
I need to replace the battery in my watch… it’s a Rose Gold Michael Kors watch.
I want to use this gift card on an hourglass ambient lighting powder!
The last time I went to Sephora I had my 5 year old son with me, directing which pretty colors I should swatch:) I almost never got out of there! Love those Buxom blushes. I have Shang-gri-la.-la.
I’m jealous of your buxom blush collection. Love those :). Bought Shang-gra-la-la at my last Sehora trip actually.
My phone alarm options are all either beeps or nature sounds, so mine is like some harp and birds combination. It is pretty soothing.
I’ve been listening to a lot of audio books lately. My favorites are ones written and read by Neil Gaiman (although his Play for Two Voices, mainly read by Bebe Neuwirth from Fraiser & actor Brian Dennehy, was really good too) and The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, all but one read by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and one read by John Glover (Lex Luther’s dad, Lionel Luther, from Smallville).
Thanks for this amazing giveaway!! I am so excited for Fall Fashion & makeup and this would go a LONG way to helping me with my current lemmings:)) I love your blog and I am so excited to see all the new collections!!:))

Last time I visited Sephora was the day before I left NYC to come home to Australia last year, so that would be, ooooh, 8 October 2012. Next visit will be the night I arrive in New York in October, so that will be 14 October 2013. Don’t you love Tripit?
The last time I went to Sephora was over a month ago, but I will be going in the next couple of days so I can take my mom shopping for her birthday.
Visited Sephora’s site recently. Purchased some Smashbox primer and Tweezerman tweezers. I love them both. So much.
I can’t wait until fall for cooler weather; we’re in triple digits! I went to ULTA earlier this evening and played around in some Stila stuff and looked at the new Smashbox palettes; I like the Fade In. Regardless of temps, I hope everyone is having a good summer! π
I do most of my shopping for Sephora online since the selection at the Sephora inside jcpenney isn’t as large. The last time I was in one of Sephora’s normal stores was when I was still in the Bay Area. I love the one on Powell St. in SF. π
I swear I’m at Sephora every other week!
I went to Sephora just last week. We have a love-hate relationship, me and that store. I love it for getting to get stuffs, but hate it for making me want to buy so much!
I can never wear watches. I end up being super paranoid and walk with my wrist up, also I find most don’t really fit my small wrists well. Hmmm…. I end up going to Sephora way too much, almost once a week π
The last time I went to Sephora was a few weeks ago. I got the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and my birthday perk! π
I don’t wear a watch but I want to start. Just need to find the right now. Hopefully soon so I don’t keep look at my wrist like a crazy person when it’s empty.
One of these days I’ll actually win one of these, haha.
My current favorite watch is a Timex with a silver face and a red band.
In our town there’s no Sephora store and I would love to shop online.
I think I would use the gift card on a new bottle of hourglass primer. So pricey but SO worth it!
I’m always down for a little sephora shopping spree!
Yeah, Sephora!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks girl! (:
Went to Sephora today, checked out the new urban decay lipsticks and damn that’s some pigmentation!
I think I lost my ray ban wayfayers and now my heart is broken.
looking forward to illamasqua’s new line…
As we havent got sephora in my coutry, the last time I went wasnt yesterday π But the last time I went I bought the Naked 2 palette, a cleansing water and a nail polish!
This is my first time I’m entering a giveaway, I’m really hoping for some beginner’s luck to shine my way π
I went to sephora about two weeks ago
I am a great Sephora fan !! Love this giveaway π

My alarm clock sounds like a cat in my face.
I was just in Sephora a few days ago; that is a very dangerous place for me!! π
“Kiss from a rose” by Seal is my alarm clock melody… π
Hi Karen,
I just wanted to say that i’m a big fan of yours. I follow you on your blog all the way from Israel and i enjoy it so much.
you’re interesting, funny and very talented.
love your blog and thank you for being so great!
Elina.
The last time I went to Sephora was in Paris a year ago – the next time is going to be in Florida – that’s what I call international love π
I wear my watch mostly 24/7
Sephora is like my mother ship, lol. π Also… Hi Tabs! Meow!
I went to Sephora last week to buy primer…I got Hourglass Veil!
I love hugging my cats! And I love that you love cats
We don’t have Sephora in my country and they will not ship here!
Anyway I got to go two years ago when I visited the USA
It’s been too long since I’ve been to Sephora – a gift card would definitely send me there quicker!
i love your giveaways.
I just went to Sephora about a week ago and got to use the Color IQ and Skin are IQ systems. I loved them both!!
Currently fishing π
Let’s see. I just placed an order last week. To actually walk in one…it’s been a long while.
I was at Sephora just last week (and the week before that)!
I popped into Sephora next week! Had to exercise some self-control and not buy anything, but I love just going in and looking around!
My alarm clock is my iphone, so whenever I am out in public and somebody has my alarm tone as their ring tone, my heart rate involuntarily starts to race. It’s so stressful!

My alarm – it’s soft music that gets increasingly louder. I’m hooked on the SleepCycle app. It measures my sleep quality and gently wakes me up when it detects I’m moving (i.e., not in a deep sleep). I love it! And I always wear a watch. I feel lost without one and can never seem to remember my phone has the time!
I was at Sephora last weekend getting some of my beloved MUFE HD foundation to keep my skin looking pretty for my grad school graduation this week π
I haven’t been to Sephora in quite a while – but my hubby just stopped there for me on Friday to grab the Ariel palette – love him!
Haha, love your comment suggestion questions Karen! The last time I went to Sephora was to get some Buxom lip products, actually! I’m just getting into the brand and now I want to try everything. Those blushes look incredible!
I wear a watch occasionally, my only one is a Fossil wich is too elegant for day time, so i wear it just in the night. Kisses
The Last Time I went to Sephora was actually on Tuesday, I didn’t buy anything which is a miracle, but I did do a lot of testing and swatching.
I’d love a Sephora gift card! I’m starting work in a few weeks, and want some “I’m a professional makeup”. It’s been over 3 weeks since I’ve been….yikes!
I’d love this gift card !!!
The last time i went to Sephora was 2 years ago when i went back to Cali for vacation, only because i live in the Philippines! I have to tell my sister to buy my stuff for me and mail it here!
I’m currently listening to the 2nd hunger games audio book. Can’t wait to see the movie!
Would love to get an occ lip tar and a nars blush Γ°ΕΈΛΒwell even if I don’t win I probably will buy it anyway…
I last went to sephora on Thursday, and picked up a solid beautyblender cleaner. I am in LOVE! Cleans my sponge and brushes quickly and mess free!
Oh god, organizing my makeup is something I need to do too. It has been in my to do liat for a week now.
I was at the Mall of America yesterday and I did NOT visit Sephora!… because I had my husband with me and I promised him only ONE beauty store, and I picked the Sigma flagship instead. (Key opportunity to replace/back up my well-loved E35 and pick up a few new tools without paying shipping!)
I don’t use an alarm clock! Never have! I just “set myself” to wake up by a certain time. If I have to be up by 8 I just think “Up by 8” as I’m going to sleep and then I wake up within 15 minutes of 8.
I wear a watch every time I have to work, but on a day to day basis I just use my phone as my watch.
I am starting to obsess over the cheek palettes Nars is putting out this Fall. A girl can never have enough blush!
I went to Sephora a few weeks ago…during school I go about every week or so.
I really need to get some new blushes, this card would be the best!
Tabs is adorable!!
Just tried Color Club nail polish for the first time . . . not bad. I’m enjoying it π
hi,I’m writing from a place with awful wi-fi connection,hope to win a giftcard so I can try out the new chubby sticks!
Counting down the days until vacation. Going to the beach. May need some new foundation after that. Love me Sephora!
So many great new products coming out at Sephora that I can’t wait to try!
My cat loves makeup too!
I love your two toned hair color!
I use my phone as my alarm so it usually plays the Star Trek TNG theme since it once was my ringtone.
I haven’t been to an actual Sephora store in a really long time. I “window shop” on their website all the time and fill my shopping cart with tones of goodies but try to resist checking out!
Well, I can’t remember the last time I went to Sephora, but I will be going tomorrow to get my birthday gift from them!
This morning… this morning my alarm clock was a dog snuffling at me because she was excited to be awake. Sigh.
My favorite game is cribbage. My husband and I used to play this a lot, but I’m such a terrible loser!
i haven’t been to sephora in a couple of months, but i check on the site at least once a week. I’m actually going to the mall today and will probably stop by
Last time at Sephora was last year. Sadly I wasn’t able to buy anything.
There’s no Sephora in my city but I’m going on a little vacay this weekend and will definitely be stopping in to see what’s new.
This is an awesome giveaway!! Sephora is a wonderland of beauty and makeup!! I Γ’ΒΒ€ Sephora!
I was in sephora yesterday because I wanted to swatch some of the tarte Amazonian clay blushes (friends and family sale going on) and I wanted to check out which ones would look better on me, but while there I couldn’t help but wander over to the nars section to go drool over their blush luster
Organizing a blush drawer with coffee, stretchy pants, and a cat?! It really doesn’t get much better than that!
I love cleaning when it has to do with organizing!
I haven’t been to Sephora in a whole but their double your points event is soon and I think it’s about time I try the Hourglass primer & cave and buy the full sized Dior mascara primer!
I don’t use a watch, I don’t like it!!
I am so happy that Sephora has finally opened in Sweden, but I do wish I could shop them online as well since I got about 15 miles to the nearest store.
Want. Need.
My alarm clock sounds like birds singing π I have a wake-up light that gradually becomes brighter, so it makes your body think it’s a natural sun rise. It’s supposed to help you wake up in a more relaxed, natural way. And it really works, because 9 our of 10 times I wake up before the birds actually start singing.

Summer is almost over and I can’t wait until autumn. My favorite season.
My favourite game is Trivial Pursuit! It’s the only board game I’m good at, haha.
Last time I went to a physical Sephora was last May, in Paris! <3 Last time I went to sephora.com, though…. last month, to re-stock on their waterproof eye makeup remover!! π
looking for some higher quality in my makeup drawers!
The last time I went to Sephora was in May, but I want to go again soon!
Just went to Sephora this morning! π
I’m not too huge on audiobooks. I like reading at my own pace, hearing the voices of the characters in my head the way I want to.
My favorite game is Scrabble.
I have my alarm clock set to play flute music; it gets progressively louder the longer the alarm goes off.
The last time I went to Sephora was for my birthday to pick up Prada Candy perfume. I am obsessed with the smell!
I need a new black liner – thinking about getting MAC blacktrack.
I am a teacher just getting ready to start back to work and could really go for a cosmetics boost at the start of the year. Teaching is a bit like being on stage, ya know? And any excuse for some new eyeshadow, right? I just got hooked on NARS and browsed the colors here with Karen’s swatches and have my eye on way more than $50 worth!
I wear watches. Thanks for the draw!
I love playing computer games as well as games on facebook. One of my recent addiction is Candy Crush.
I go to Sephora once every couple of months, and am always browsing sephora.com. It’s my happy place!
Last week I went to sephora and bought a lancome cils booster xl–its a mascara base. i’ve been loving it used under all of my mascaras. it makes my lashes look so much fuller, helps with lift and length. in short its now my new staple product. and did i mention that it doesn’t look clumpy?
I love listening to audiobooks! They’re the best for commutes!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Been lusting after a few of the Soap and Glory products but sadly I don’t have the funds to fuel my obsession. >.<
Hey, Karen! Hope things are going well! I’m craving another DSW post!
I haven’t been to Sephora in forever!! I wear a watch usually only when I’m doing clinicals at the hospital or my fancier ones when I have a night out.
Finally started drinking coffee again after almost a 2-month de-tox. I’ve missed you my friend.
Recently I have been stepping out of my comfort zone with smokey eyes! But not just the ordinary black/grey smokey eye…. COLORED SMOKEY EYES! My favorite colors to use are plum, sapphire, and emerald (all metallic finish). I’ve found that using a matte warm brown above the crease really pulls the look together.
I love listening to audio books when I’m falling asleep.
Such a wonderful giveaway, thanks for another generous opportunity Karen!! Good luck, everyone!
i am obsessed with MAC’s ririwoo <3
Nothing nicer than waking up without the alarm clock….they make me anxious.
My favorite game without a doubt is Spades. There have been many a weekend where my college friends and I hang out in the dorm to play and bake cookies. Such fun times!
Happy Saturday!
I actually walked out of Sephora empty handed a couple of weeks ago. How often does that happen???
I visited Sephora today as it was time for me to get a new primer. Thanks for the giveaway π
I went to Sephora last Tuesday to find some of the Ariel collection, but no luck π
Got the prettiest new shadow today. Flower creme shadow in wild geranium. Unbelievable for 8 bucks!
Need to make a Sephora trip soon!
omg i just bought bunch of the SOPI polishes i dont want them to leave but i am loving this deal
The last time I was at sephora was when I picked up the NARS albatross highlighter.
I ordered Tokoyo Milk Dark from Sephora last month :0)
Don’t we all love Sephora! Yay!
I use an alarm clock for the deaf/hard of hearing, like myself. It just vibrates and shakes the entire mattress.
Last time I went to Sephora it was to by Kat Von D lipsticks!! I LOVE the colors/staying power.
my favorite game is jenga and candy crush saga!!
My current Sephora shopping cart is full of OCC nail polishes! I got my first couple recently and am totally loving the formula.
I haven’t been to sephora in forever! Think its time I make a trip to the mall π
One of my makeup essentials is Benetint on my lips!
My favorite thing at Sephora is everything. No but really, I can never go on the site or in the store without buying yet another blush.
I am about to start watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. I heard its a great show.
Thanks for the contest.
Last time I went to Sephora, I went with my friend to get a makeover. I had previously boughten a bra from Aerie, and I accidentally left it there and I remembered halfway through our bus drive home. I asked the only available cashier if they had seen a black lacy bra (they happened to be male) and he said that he had. He had taken a peek at it when he had found it, and he said to me before handing it back ‘If it were a few sizes bigger, I would have kept it! Have a nice day!’. I love Sephora.
I have never been to Sephora but I’m just about to do my first Sephora pre-order to the Philippines and I’m so super excited x
Last trip to Sephora was yesterday! Bought 2 Boi-ing concealers from Benefit in shades 03 & 04. Hopefully I get to win this giveaway! I’m eyeing an eyeshadow palette & foundation (:
I love the new YSL glossy stain nude collection. I bought every color!
My all time favorite game is UNO!
yay!
I haven’t been to Sephora in an ungodly length of time because I have no money….but hopefully I win and that changes this!
gotta get there for my bday gift this week!
I’m excited to start school again 10th grade baby would love this gift card to get all glammed up for the first day of school !
This gift card would help a lot, I need a major makeup update. π
And my alarm in the morning is either a Coheed and Cambria or All Time Low song. Makes the morning a bit more pleasant haha.
I could always use a sephora giftcard (though I just placed an expensive order).
Can’t remember the last time I was in Sephora, but I’ve been offered a job in Doha, Qatar, and I just found out there’s a Sephora there. That definitely sweetens the deal, just a little. I don’t have one where I live.
I could so use a pick-me-up like this right now…
My makeup obsession might be turning into an addiction and, frankly, I DON’T CARE! π
My alarm is Eye of the Tiger. Gotta get excited to get up!
I haven’t been to Sephora since January but that’s only because I go to Ulta more often. And I don’t wear a watch anymore, I used to all the time two years ago though until it broke!
I’m due for a win! π Would love to try out the UD ls!
The last time I went to Sephora was about 6 months ago.
Going to sephora tmrw
Loving MAC’s shell pearl beauty powder as a highlighter!
Went to Sephora this morning! But I was good to my wallet and didn’t get anything.
I haven’t been to a physical Sephora store in ages.
The last time I went to Sephora was a little over a month ago. Unfortunately I had a horrible experience with one of the women working there, so I left empty-handed. I think I’ll stick with online purchases from now on!
Those Buxom blushes look amazing!
I wanted to go to Sephora today because I could have gotten some free stuff for my birthday, but amidst stuffing my face with cake and making sure everything around me sparkled (especially my nails) that didn’t quite happen… π
I went into sephora last week. I’ve been stalking the Sephora Disney Ariel Palette. π
My girlfriend is in love with make-up and I want to surprise her so badly with this.
I went to Sephora last week and bought eyeliner!
Last time I went to Sephora was Saturday to get my free birthday gift!
I haven’t worn a watch since before I got a cell phone. I guess I’m out of luck if my phone dies, haha.

Hi Karen
Obsessed with philosophy purity cleanser! My skin care staple:)
Hello! Today my nails are painted with a black jelly nail polish with magenta chunky glitters
Eye makeup shortcut:
1. Swipe on whichever urban decay eyeliner my hand touches first
2. Follow up with Maybelline full and soft mascara
3. Done!
My last Sephora purchase was in Las Vegas; I bought Guerlain mascara (a HG for me), Anastasia hot pink mascara for my bff to wear on her bachelorette party & NARS multiple in Orgasm π Although I missed out on my bday present, sigh….

When i walk in to Sephora i know i am going to be in trouble. Lol
Haha, I like debonaire Tabs here π Was drooling over Tarte Coral Crush Palette, hope I can get my hands on them. I’d like to try a turquoise or navy eyeliner too.
Love, love, love Sephora. Now I just need more $$ to spend on my lip color addiction.
I’m not a cat person, but Tabs is my favorite makeup guru! Love waking up to a nice cuppa Joe & hearing about Tab’s latest exploits!
The last time I went to Sephora was last weekend to pick up my Benefit Birthday Package! Whoop Whoop!
I just bought 6 backups of MAC Prep and Prime SPF 50 (Old Formula) on ebay. Yes, yes I did.
I haven’t been to a sephora in a while- but I placed an order yesterday! What my husband doesn’t know won’t hurt him!
I started wearing a watch again a year ago!
Sephora has been my saving grace! I had NO clue how much eyelid primer would mean to me!? TwoFaced primer has taken my beauty routine to the next level!!
The last time at Sephora… does online shopping count? hehe. I think I’ve taken to online shopping there because I’m so embarrassed about how often I’m in the store! I have to take a break from it before I show my face again. I am an ADDICT, literally. This giveaway is super generous! I can’t even tell you what I’d use it on, because there are about 50 million and 1 things I’ve been eyeing over there. Thanks for the opportunity!
I havent been in an actual sephora in a while, i love online shopping too much!
Boy do I need some new products to try!! Reading some of your reviews/swatches on too faced lip crayons are making me want to purchase a few!!
Last time I went to Sephora was about a week ago
thank you for this awesome giveaway..i hope i win some day..i will keep participating π
Well, it’s confirmed. My chubby tabby has hit the 20 lb. mark. He isn’t a gravy fiend, I swear!
mac’s ruby woo lipstick is so gorgeous! also kittens are cute π
THANK YOU, KAREN, for another awesome contest! Those blushes look beautiful. I recently bought 3 of the new Sephora waterproof eyeliners and they’re amazing. Definitely recommend them. π
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I just went to Sephora today to get the Beauty Blender sponge. I was kind of wary on spending $20 for such a product, but I am so glad I did! There is nothing like this out there. No other “dupe” comes close.
I listen to audio books while I’m driving. Just finished The Redeemer by Jo Nesbo.
i am very patiently awaiting my vacation to seattle. leaving in 5 days!
Went to Sephora two days in a row! Couldn’t resist. First picked up NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Lodhi, and NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl! I helped pick out the shade Turn On in Urban Decay’s new lipstick line for my sister as well. Thanks for all your swatches and tips!
I’ve got my eyes set on some new bronzer! Now the question is which one? I’m between NARS and YSL… decisions, decisions!
I went to Sephora today!
I purchased the Cle de Peau loose powder today, which has the dubious distinction of being the single most expensive makeup item I have ever purchased (YIKES)!
Friday is my birthday and I really want to treat myself
To a makeup day….. Please please please!
Such a great giveaway!! The last time I went to Sephora was 2 months ago to get the FRESH Sugar face scrub. That stuff is AMAZING!!! Love how it makes your skin feel!!!
Just went to Sephora on Saturday – got another whiff of the Honey by Marc Jacobs perfume π
I picked up a copy of The Little Prince and started reading it a few days ago for the first time. I found a quote from the book online that described my Uncle that passed away recently. Now I’m on the hunt to find an auto book version of it in French.
