7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

February 14th, 2015 by Karen 309 Comments

Enter now to win a $50 Sephora e-gift card!
Enter now to win a $50 Sephora e-gift card!

Today is going to be so bomb. 🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day, my love! love Tabby hugs and kisses for you. And nose taps. And cute mrows. And purr-chirps.

We made it through another week, which means we’re another week closer to the cherry blossoms and earlier sunrises and longer days and warm nights where you can sleep with the windows open and tubing down the river and barbecues and shorts and flip-flops! Just gotta hang in there a little longer…

Here’s your fun feat of the day, as assigned by Tabs: bring your camera with you wherever you go, and have it at the ready. Look for beauty in all things, all around you, and be quick on the draw. Take pictures of pretty things wherever you find them, and don’t be stingy! With digital cameras and camera phones, the film is free.

Today, while the world of consumer products works to shove love down our gullets and make us purchase all things chocolate, heart-shaped and red/pink, I hope you feel loved, my friend, no matter what, especially if you’re flying solo.

I’ve flown many solo V-Days over my 39 years, and while some have been good, some have also been tough. I hope you never forget how much you’re loved, irrespective of your current romantic situation. I love you very much, and Tabs does too (but he’s easy, haha).

May you have a wonderful day. Sending you virtual hugs, candy hearts and nose kisses.

Best of luck in the giveaway. Talk to you soon.

    I’m lucky because I usually only break out (I use that term lightly) once a month, when my Aunt Flow comes to visit but the pimples are always in the same spots. I’ve started to spot treat the areas a few days before Aunt Flows arrival to try to contain the little monsters.

    Would love to see nail polish worn by men 🙂
    I wonder how masculine the designs could be in comparison to the regular pretty and feminine ones on women. So far the few boundaries pushed by women include the funky designs but they are seldom really masculine.
    I’m sure nail polish designs won’t survive in their pristine state for long on men, but I’ll like to see how they’ll carry the look!

    I always get pimples on my chin, in the crevices of the nose and now around the lips and I’m 47!!! Been told it’s because of hormones and having oily skin. What a trade off because having the oily skin keeps my face looking young.

    •Will you be my Valentine? Sorry, I’m my puppy dog’s valentine today 😀
    •How many times did you paint your nails this week? Twice. Which is quite rare. Only because I wanted Valentines nails.
    •What’s your favorite opera? I have only seen a few, but it’s Phantom nonetheless. I just love that play. It hits me hard every time. It’s such a conundrum that one.
    •Nail polish for men? I guess so, but not my men. Unless it’s clear. (Not judging, I don’t care, but I can’t say I would date a man who wears color polish. No attraction there for me).
    •Best celebrity makeup? Katy Perry! 😀 Or Gwen, still love her. Or Taylor Swift!
    •Recurring pimples in the same place? Do you get ‘em? My chin. Yep. I’ve always had acne though.

Different formulas wear different, but I love that it lasts without having to grind down my nails like with gel. Plus it removes like regular polish! My fave color is Rouge Red, the formula levels itself beautifully.

    For the past two years I break out on my chin at least once a month. And it’s always super painful. I’ve tried laying off the dairy because of hormones, but it’s so hard!

    Unfortunately, I have been battling repeat offenders in terms of acne on my cheeks and on the side of my jaw line. Initially, I thought the jaw line culprits were because the collar of a jacket combined with some attractive scarf accessorizing so I switched it up and because to pull my cleanser down to the area. I think that that has helped. Usually that area has given me some hormonal trouble but this sneaky and persistent attack lasted for almost a month and a half!! I think my cheek situation is mainly because I touch my face a lot during the day…I need to change that but I haven’t a clue how. I’ll try washing my pillow covers every month instead of every 6 months… Hopefully this battle can be won.

    Uh Oh… I was just supposed to leave a message about if I have repeat offender acne areas not write a novella about them and how I combat them.

    Sorry! Hopefully this was fun to read…

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).
