Hey, you need anything from Sephora?? Tabs is heading down there this morning on his bike, and he says he can bring you something back. Let me know. I’ll text him your order. 🙂
Meanwhile…
Good morning! I hope you slept well and had a great night.
So, that movie last night, Riddick, turned out to be better than I thought. It was actually pretty good, but yes, I am a sci-fi nerd, so the bar, ya know, isn’t set very high.
Amidst all the carnage in the movie — and there is carnage; it’s a Vin Diesel flick, after all — there’s even something cute, but I won’t say more. I don’t want to spoil it for you, and you’ll know what I’m talking about if you see it.
Now let’s get this show on the road, shall we? It’s giveaway time, and you could win a $50 e-gift card to spend on anything you want at Sephora.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
The makeup in Burlesque make me want to go out and buy all the glitter shadows, false lashes, and red lipstick I could find.
Wooo giveaway!! Thanks Karen and Tabs! My favorite rom com movie star is probably Drew Barrymore. Love me some Drew! And I have yet to try her adorable Flower makeup line- the Walmart by me does not carry it yet, very strange! Best meal had to be the avocado veggie sandwich I had today at the Roast & Toast Cafe in Petoskey, MI. Today I am feeling… resilient! It’s been a tough couple of days, but I am trying to power through and end up triumphant over life’s little trials and tribulations!
Oddly, my favorite palette is Lorac Unzipped. Requires no thought, which applies to me every morning. 🙂
I could always add a few more items to my stash of beauty supplies
well the best make up from a movie is from one of the goddess I guess Aphrodite from the film immortals.
My word of the day: Stereoisomerism 🙁
I would love some more shopping 😀
I would love to update my nailpolishes for fall!
Hello to what seems to be the first day of Fall here in NYC 🙂
My favorite eyeshadow palette is the Lorac Palette 😀
Let Tabs know I’ll take a Guerlain Rouge G l’Extrait Lip Color in Luxure! It’s been on my wish list since it came out and it would be perfect for fall.
Thank you Karen bringing us the wonderful giveaway again~
I just watched The Hunger Games and the makeup is insane! I love all the weird looks from the Capitol!
I LOVE the pics you do of Tabs…lol they make my sat morning! Side note: my homemade Chicken Saltimbocca is my favorite all time meal 🙂 (Recipe from Williams Sonoma Chicken cookbook)
Easy! Most precious keepsake: my Me-Maw, who passed a few years ago, left me her original engagement and wedding rings from my Pap-Pap. The are incredibly dainty, with miniscule diamond chips, which was what they could afford when they were first married. Later on, Pap-Pap replaced the rings with something more substantial, but Me-Maw wouldn’t stop wearing the originals (she wore both). Now, I wear that set on my right hand every day.
Best meal you had all week? My husband and I ate “Kare-kare”. It is a Filipino dish. It is beef with Peanut butter sauce! So good! 🙂
Have a great day!

I don’t think I could ever pick just one favorite palette… maybe top ten? Lol
What’s the most precious keepsake you own?
probably the necklace my mom gave me the summer before i was a senior in high school. I’m now in my second year of college and still wear it every single day!
Next week we’re leaving for a business trip to Canada. We”ll be there for two weeks and I’m pretty excited about it. But the most exciting part is the fact that we’re stopping in NYC on the way home!! OMG, I can hardly wait! We’re planning a visit to the Hayden Planetarium, at the American Museum of Natural History Who knows, maybe we get lucky enough to see Neil deGrasse Tyson… Just the possibility of that encounter gives me an adrenaline rush he he :). Another amazing opportunity will be seeing Van Gogh’s The Starry Night at MOMA… Overall, a pretty exciting couple of weeks for us.
I have never been to Kansas. On the plus side, I just had some lovely cod cakes at the local farmers market. Mmmmm…
I have been to Arkansas
I feel pretty darn awesome since I’m about to go on a mini vacation! :). Thanks so much for all your hard work, Karen! I immensely enjoy your blog, and will continue to be a loyal reader 🙂
I think my order for Tabs would be too long to fit into one text message! I think tonight I might have a good meal- I am going out for my bff’s birthday dinner to PF Changs. Happy weekend!
Woke up with a huge headache, ugh.
Is it bad that a lot of my favorite eyeshadows are from the Wet n Wild trios? I reach for those more than I do my more expensive palettes….so sad! LOL
I love the way they do makeup on Once Upon a Time (sorry, couldn’t think of a movie). The actresses’s eyes always look beautiful and natural, except the Evil Queen, who always has something outrageous going on.
I wore my new MAC lipstick Flat out Fabulous last night! I love the color BUT it kept getting on my teeth. I can’t remember the last time that has happen to me.
I have never been to Kansas, but I’m sure it is a beautiful state 😀
Just get some amazing things so we can read all the reviews about them 🙂
Got two flower deliveries for my birthday today 🙂
i’m really loving zoya’s neve nail polish. its like midnight blue satin on my fingers. my favorite palette of all time is probably my tarina tarantino emerald pretty palette or the urban decay vice palette. i like palettes that have a large variety of eyeshadows that i can create any look i want with and dont have to bring a second or third palette (though i usually still do)
haven’t been to Kansas, but I’ve been to Oklahoma!
I think you can understand this….my most precious thing is Flip and Stinky! They own me though.
My favorite palette is…the Naked palette! Shocker 😉
haha Tabs is cute 🙂
My favorite palette is the Stila In the Know palette..all matte colors.
Hmmm favorite palette… Gotta say, I don’t own that much makeup to choose from but I suppose my Naked 2 palette is the winner. And that’s mostly because you can’t beat the price I purchased it at! Oh and it’s just a really nice palette to own.
Urban Decay Naked 1 and 2 are my all time favorite eye shadow palettes!
my favorite palette is my bh cosmetics party girl palette
Lately I have been loving the vampy trend on the lips, clean eyes and strong brows. All da power!
Linda recently posted … Review: Rimmel London Brow Pencil in 004 (Black Brown).
My most precious keepsake is a twisty piece of driftwood I found in Martindale, Texas. In the very center there is a perfect spherical crevice and I put a very large iridescent marble in it. I can hardly describe how truly beautiful it is!
So many fall lipsticks!
My favorite palette of all time is the Lorac Pro. It’s my go to for anything and everything!
The best meal I had this week.. spinach and cheese lasagna! =D
Best films…The Swedish AND American adaptations of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I love them both.

Just bought myself the Diorshow waterproof eye pencil and Marc Jacobs Highliner.

I got some thai express earlier this week…it’s not that great but I REALLY wanted noodles so it was perfect 🙂
My favorite eye palette is UD Naked 2, it’s such a great everyday palette.
I just don’t get romcoms. For whatever reason, I can’t think of any that I’ve enjoyed or found entertaining. It’s a bummer, because that’s mostly what my friends want to go see. Last year, I found out that all my female colleagues were having ladies’ romcom movie nights and not inviting me! 🙁
I love your blog and would be so happy to win the $50.Its so generous of you to do this !
Howdy! My name is Sherry and I am a Sephora addict ( when my budget allows) When I go in the heaven that is their store, my wishlist gets longer and longer * sigh. So yeppers this would be a dream come true 😉
Favorite palatte is the Lorac pro
Blahired = Blah + tired. That’s how I feel right now!
i love the pretty rebel palette!
Hi karen! Today I am using the original Naked palette, our weather here in Southern Ohio is beautiful-fall like weather! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
I’ve never been to Kansas.

I LOVE the Naked palette. It’s a toss up between that and the True Blood Palette by Tarte.
I just tried the Dior Fusion Mono eyeshadows, and I love them!
My favorite eyeshadow palette is naked 2. I loooooovvee it. I use it every single day almost.
The best meal I had all week was the sausages and mashed potatoes & gravy I had last night. Perfect for the first super chilly September day!
My favorite meal this week was a late afternoon picnic at Waikiki Beach. My fiancé and I ate some sandwiches and had some DQ treats 🙂
Christina Aquilera’s make-up in Burlesque is incredible! I don’t need to invent a word to express how I feel right now, it already exists…hungover!! Have been pining over the Naked palettes, but currently obsessing over my Stila In The Light palette. x x
My favorite eye shadow pallette changes all the time, but I always find myself coming back to my UD Naked Basics pallette…
PS. I have been to Kansas! Lived in Kansas City for a few years when growing up.
I’ve never been to Kansas before!
My favorite drugstore palette are nyx large nude on nude and physician formula shimmer strips in brown. My favorite highend palette be inglots or lorac.
I’ve only been to Kansas with Dorothy. 🙂 I’ve been in Cali all my life, I’ve only left the golden state once for Vegas. I need to travel more often.
My favorite is the Lorac PRO palette! It’s not the flashiest or most expensive palette I own, but it’s an excellent collection of wearable, high-quality basics, and I reach for it almost every morning.
Thanks for this amazing giveaway 🙂
I really like the Naked 2 palette and also love my mac palette because I could choose all my favorite colors
My favorite palette has to be the Urban Decay Naked palette – it’s the one makeup item I’d take with me to a deserted island!
My favorite pallet right now is my urban decay vice pallet. The colors are amazing
I had some super spectacular lasagne this week!
Since Tabs has his own bike, he can come and visit me. He’ll even get gravy!
Whoo hoo! I love Sephora
I love the Naked 2 palette.
My favorite meal was fish pie
thank you so much
My favourite keepsake is a gorgeous emerald necklace that my Auntie gave me that had been her mother’s necklace which was purchased in France. Pretty much anything my Auntie gave me was a treasure.

hi
my favorite movie star is Jennifer Aniston i like her
Fave eyeshadow palette – Guerlain Liu, holiday 2012. It’s not just eyeshadow, but I love it so much. The champagne and taupe are to die for!
I think fall has finally arrived in the south, it is so nice here today!!!!
My cat loves me so much – he follows me like a dog
I love Kate Hudson and Paul Rudd in romcom!!!
Those 50$ would work nicely towards a Vice 2 palette!
best meal was at the my university cafeteria (as were all the meals) – just got here, freshman and really missing my moms cooking!
I have never been to Kansas.
Best meal I had all week .. well snack , fruit salad with condensed milk !
I recently watched Memoirs of a Geisha. Movie was meh, but the makeup was PHENOMENAL!
My favorite meal was a salmon dish I cooked
I made Chicken Burritos in the crock pot this week and they were amazing.
The best “meal” I had all week was a smoothie I made with spinach, some frozen and fresh fruits that I had on hand, coconut cream, water, and ice.
Still in love with Naked! Also, if I could look like a Khaleesi all the time I’d be cool with that…but that’s more about the dresses
It’s a tie between Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon for my fave romcom star. I really can’t choose between the two!

Yes I have been to Kansas. Thank you for the giveaway!!
another try, another chance! thank you 🙂
Never been to Kansas but would love to!!
Tabs is enormous *o*
The best meal I’ve had this week was tonight’s -it’s 11pm where i live-: my roommate and I were too tired to cook something, so we ate ice cream and chips. A lot of chips. Really, best meal ever.
Right at this moment I feel….tired. Because I had a hard time falling asleep and was up till about 3 am.
My best meal this week is probably the diner breakfast I had this morning (home fries, sausage, biscuits). So yummy!
I admired the makeup and special FX on the movie ‘Cloud Atlas’. The makeup artists truly captured the look of each decade interspersed throughout the film. Hallie looked like this otherworldly, believable, pseudo-friendly alien with flush prosthetic work and beautiful costuming. I particularly admired the work of the fembots working in future Seoul, SK.
Fall is in the air! Need to pick up some dark green nail polish 🙂
My favorite palette is my naked palette, it’s great and my only palette anyway.
Amazingly enough, my favorite movie makeup is anything with zombies! I’m kinda picky with zombie makeup, sometimes I hate it & other times it looks sooo good I’m too impressed haha!! 😀 I’ve read all the Walking Dead comics & the makeup on the show is ALWAYS on point!!!
I love the Naked2 palette.
Lisa @ Lisa Living Well recently posted … Kona Kase review
This is really random, but every time I watch “Anchorman” with Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, I catch myself saying “holy cow she looks gorgeous” regarding Christina’s makeup. She has the most gorgeous glow, combined with really bright eyes and a great red lip.
“Invent a word to describe the way you feel right now.”
Kerplooblahbaloney. I know it’s a beautiful Bay Area Saturday, but I feel terrible. I didn’t land a coveted (post-grad) job and received an (accidental) parking violation ticket the same day earlier this week. Ugh, I feel like boozing and TV binging – it’s that kind of day.
I sincerely hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, though!
Looking pretty b.a. there Tabs! I can’t narrow down my favorite keepsake to one or even five. I have a memory box that is chock full of random trinkets like old movie stubs, broken pieces of jewelery, old birthday cards and the like.
My favorite movie makeup that I have seen is from the Hunger Games series. Jennifer Lawrence’s makeup is always stunning and unique.
KITTENS INSPIRED BY KITTENS!!!!!
Thanks karen and Tabs!!
Borrowed “The Call” DVD to watch tonight!
Fave eyeshadow palette is Laura Mercier Artist’s Palette. I hope she does another one this year.
Hi! Urban Decay for me please!
Still hot where we are, where are you autumn?
My favourite eyeshadow palette of all time is UD NAKED!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I like vintage movie makeup looks like Rita Hayworth or Veronica Lake. I’m still looking for the quintessential eyeshadow palette. Sushi would be the best meal I ate this week. My most precious keepsake would be my grandmother’s depression era engagement ring. Never been to Kansas, except during my annual Wizard of Oz movie watching night!

I’m loving the new textured polishes that OPI put out with their San Fran collection, having trouble NOT buying them all 🙁
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have never been to Kansas.
I’ve never been to Kansas sadly!
My favorite palette is Too Faced’s Boudoir Eyes.
The most precious keepsake I own is a silver charm bracelet
that has charms dated 1968 from a trip my mother took to Paris.
I walked 3.1 miles today to support my nephew and Children’s hospital… I am so sore!!
Right now I feel lazy and I dont want to study! 🙂
HI TAAAAAAAAAAAAAABS!
Never been to Kansas, but watching Supernatural makes me wanna go visit.
My favorite current palette is the Naked palette, since that’s pretty much the only palette I own. I do use it all the time though.
Hi Karen. My most precious keepsake is my gold locket. My husband bought it for me before our daughter was born. When she was 18 months old, she had the most adorable picture taken, so I put that photo in the locket. My daughter is 20 years old now, and I still wear the locket!! Thanks for another giveaway!!
Right now, I feel totally kerschmoggled.
I’d love to see a review of the best mascaras for sensitive eyes.
My favorite nail polish shade is purple!
Best meal was last week at a delicious wine bar or my husbands birthday.
Already daydreaming of what I’d buy if I win!
My favorite eye palette is tied between Urban Decay Vice Palette and Naked 2.
There are a lot of palettes who i love, but specially Naked2, i think is The palette!
Love these weekend giveaways!
Best meal all week was last night’s dinner – mushroom swiss burger with green olives. Yum!
Kansas no.
~The Best Makeup HANDS DOWN Is From The Movie “Queen Of the Dead” I Lovey Dove Aaliyah’s Makeup as Queen Akasha. IT.WAS.SO.SULTRY (=^_^=) <3 R.I.P Aaliyah.
~Today i made French strawberry milk Macarons with cookie dough buttercream and it was HEAVENLY, i heard angel’s singing and i felt the holy ghost. YES LORD. lol. <3
Hi Karen! I l grew up in Kansas and lived there for about 12 years before moving to Houston. I really liked it there and the people there are friendly. But they didn’t have a Sephora in the city that I lived in. 🙁 I lived in Wichita. I found out they opened up one after I had moved away.
I’ve been lusting after the NARS And God Created the Woman palette for months but regularly use my Stila In the Know and UD Naked 2.
I am gonna buy thnew nars gel eyeline/shadow
Best meal I have had all week was All You Can Eat Sushi! Yummm
My best meal of the week was at a pub/restaurant at Niagara-on-the-lake in Canada!
Best meal all week was fresh pizza from Whole Foods. They’re always the best lunch!
karen! hope tabs enjoyed his sephora trip.
just finished watching “ferris bueller’s day off”. such an awesome classic!
I would like to try some of the urban decay shadows that you have mentioned.
Best meal all week: woodfired pizza!

My fav eyeshadow palette right now is my Naked Basics ny UD. I love a matte eye look! Thanks!!!
I love the makeup in the Hunger Games. They are really pushing the barriers since it’s in the book but it’s beautiful onscreen.
I’ve always wanted to go to TIFF. I’m going to start a list of who I would like to meet for next year
Best meal all week definitely had to be all you can eat sushi!! Guaranteed to be a satisfying and delicious meal!
Best movie makeup you’ve ever seen? That I can think of right now would be Avatar (the James Cameron one). Alice in Wonderland has awesome makeup too. Same with some of the pre-Christian Bale Batman movies.
What’s your favorite eyeshadow palette of all time?
I keep coming back to the Naked Palette but I like all the Urban Decay palettes I have. Right now, have been using Bareminerals The Star Treatment.
Woot!
Lorac Pro ToGo palette seems to be an interesting palette!!!
I’m dreading this weekend being over.
Hola. I just stumbled across your blog and I’m loving it!
Sundays are mondays for us. Ughhh weekend went too fast i wished i had a break 🙁
Katrina recently posted … Coral Makeup Tutorial
My best meal of the week is Singapore Rice Claypot
i like the original ud naked palette, and the best part probably is that you can make so many different looks from it! the shadows are super and smooth and the palette has the perfect mix of neutrals imho
I love the Naked Palette, all time fav!
Favorite Eyeshadow Palette of all time has to be my theBalm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette, the shadows are all matte, pigmented, neutral and easily blendable.
I love my naked palette! I really need to check out the Lorac pro palette though…
Its truly just as amazing! You’ll love it. That definitely comes in as a close second for me.
My favorite palette is the Naked palette
My favorite sport is hiking because it combines exercising and admiring the scenery.
I love the make up from Burlesque. And I have to admit I’ve watched the movie 3 times… 🙂
Favorite palette? The original Naked.
I had some spaghetti and garlic bread that was really good.
The best meal that I had all week is my homemade Beef and Broccoli.
My favorite eyeshadow palette of all time is the Nyx Caviar and Bubbles palette. You can do so many looks with it . You can go from daytime to nighttime all in one palette! It’s amazing!
Favorite eyeshadow palette, Smashbox Photo Op Mega Palette. Although currently chasing Lorac Pro. Hopeful future purchase.
My favorite palette is Naked Palette….it’s just wonderful!
The best movie makeup I have ever seen is in Burlesque. I love how the makeup can transform Christina Aguilera in different looks. If you haven’t watched it, I bet you wouldn’t think she is the same person compared to her other looks. But despite the varying makeup looks, there’s one thing in common, and that is the vintage-y feel of it. Giving it a look, and you’ll think about the old-fashioned theme of it. Besides all that, I liked the strong contrast of colors but still complemented each other in a way.
Ashton Kutcher is my fave romcom star 🙂
I can’t believe the holiday season will be upon us sooner than we think.
I think my favorite movie makeup is in XMen for Mystique.
I just loved the look. Full body paint. Great detail.
I have never been to Kansas.
I wish they had a Sephora in Australia 🙁
Jollibee Ultimate Burger Steak! need i say more? lol
I’m looking forward to this fall/winter season. Love hot coffee and dark vampy lips. :3
help. i have a food baby made of sushi and nachos 🙁
That cat is fierce ;3
I’ve never been to Kansas – have you?
My current favourite eyeshadow palette is the Urban Decay Naked palette.
I have not been to Kansas, and having lived in the LA/SF Bay area all my life, I am curious about what it’s like (although I don’t think residing there would be for me).
I’ve never been to Kansas!
My fav movie would be Gone With The Wind and my fav actor would be Jon Hamm. Swoon worthy coz he looks like he could belong equally well in the Golden Era of Hollywood circa 30s-40s …. Lordy lord, I just love love the classics and it comes as to no surprise that if I win this card, then, I am going to splurge it on some vintage beauty finds and some Chanel!! Thank you so much for the giveaway Karen!! :*
I have driven across Kansas many times to visit the in-laws in Kansas City and moving to New York and back from Colorado where I am from. My favorite palette of all time is a Nars nude palette he did back in 1999 I think it was called All About Eve, wish he would make it again! Meg Ryan back in the 90’s will always be my fave rom-com star 🙂
The Naked palette is still my favorite, although I wonder if I should play some more with a few other palettes. XD
Hmm, eyeshadow palette. My Naked2 Palette, which was such a splurge for me! It was about $250.TTD but I wanted it so bad. NARS, you’re next, dah-ling LOL
The yummiest meal I had was pasta with tiny shrimps and tomato sauce
discovering hourglass cosmetics = needing a sephora gift card! : )
best movie makeup- the different shades of purple nail polish ginnifer goodwin wears in “he’s just not that into you”.
Sad to say….I always “need” something from Sephora… Thanks for doing the give away!
Best movie makeup for me is Black Swan. Nina (Natalie Portman) looked immaculate when she was herself, dark and dangerous when channeling the black swan. The other dancers looked beautiful in their makeup too.
I love TABS!!!!!
The cat is the photo for this giveaway looks exactly like mine and it’s freaking me out..
But thanks for having this giveaway so if I win I get stop spending all my grocery money on makeup! 🙂
Yay, giveaway time! I am in. I am feeling badly hungover from last night and I need a little something to boost my mood 🙂

My favorite skin care is Chanel’s Ultra Correction Lift! They recently revamped the system. I can’t wait to see reviews on the new creams. Cause I am not 100% sure sure Correction life system I should purchase. Love your kitty Pics 🙂 🙂 🙂
My most precious keepsakes are my kids.
My favorite makeup style right now is a Brigitte Bardot look! Nude lip with mahogany liner, bronze bunny, hair for days.
I remember the first movie makeup that inspired me as a child was Evita. I used to put on the reddest lipstick I could find when I was alone and sing the songs. :]
I feel Sundaymazing!!!
I would love to go shopping
The most delicious meal I had this week was pasta with broccoli, alfredo sauce, and garlic! And cake for dessert. 🙂
My favourite palette is definitely Urban Decay’s Naked palette. I originally bought it because of all the great reviews I’d read and I was not disappointed. I love me some neutrals!
I love my UD Naked palette & can’t wait until cooler weather arrives. Thanks for the giveaway Karen.
Best meal you had all week?- A gyro with greek fries. I made myself hungry now lol
I do love Sundays since they are the only day I can sleep in with no interference from the alarm or my (very loud) teenager. I get to sip coffee at my own pace, then shower when I feel like it (not ASAP), then get to whatever I’m doing – when I want to get to it. I love managing my own time rather than having it subject to the demands of an employer.
I’m loving the Lorac Pro palette right now. Prefer it to UD Naked! And fave romcom actress? None! Can I watch a dark, depressing movie instead?
Out of all the eyeshadow I own (pallets included) I’d have to say my very favorite is actually a stick shadow from hard candy, surprisingly enough. It’s called, foiled again metallic shadow stick in the shade ecstasy.
I just love it so so much. It works super well, it’s an absolutely beautiful bronzey/dirty gold color that would probably work on just about anyone. It’s metallic without tons of glitter (which is unusual for hard candy) it wears for a long time with or without primer. It’s just awesome.
I’ve never been to Kansas!! I’m feeling happy right now. I’ve lost 6 pounds, so I’m closer to my goal of getting back to my pre-baby weight! 🙂
I am craving pasta!
irini recently posted … Spurge VS Save
My most precious keepsake is my deceased father’s gold wedding band which I had sized to fit me and wear as my wedding band. Makes me think of him and smile!
Best movie makeup? All the winged liners and red lips in “In the Mood for Love”. 🙂
Have you ever had days where your brain isn’t working and everything seems fuzzy and you are just crabby? I’m having one of those.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could send our pets to Sephora to grab some makeup for us? Don’t forget to grab Starbucks too!
STEPH, I have those nearly everyday, without the crabbiness.
Yes! If Tabs could pick me up some Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion, Benefit benetint lip and cheek stain, an Urban Decay revolutionary lipstick, some sort of lipbrush, and a highligher (not sure of a good brand), that would be awesome! Thanks Tabs! :* <3 🙂
I’m kind of obsessed with Maybelline’s Color Whisper lipsticks now. I have one in Berry Ready, which is SO GORGEOUS, it makes me so excited for fall!
Oh this week was full of temptation. So many holiday kits are coming out, and I swore I would wait until Sephora’s VIB sale, but I don’t want to! I feel like a little kid.
Today is the very rare day when I have no responsibilities or commitments and can do as I please. Took a long walk and now I am catching up on my reading. Happy Sunday everyone.
I love 90’s rom coms, Never Been Kissed is one of my favorites, so cute!
I hope y’all are having an absolutely fantastic Sunday!
My favorite palette is the balm’s meet matte nude
I was watching the show Skins and I couldn’t help but be struck by the fact that they seemed to only use blue mascara on one of the main characters. It was an interesting touch.
Yes I’ve been to Kansas, mainly Kansas City. Since I just live south in Oklahoma, getting to Kansas is pretty easy.
Best movie makeup: Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show. 😀
I didn’t invent the word, but I feel wonky right now.
I liked the makeup for Sucker Punch, though not enough to check the movie out…
I bet it’s a cat…
But hey, at least Vin Diesel is hot.
Thanks for all the giveaways! I use the Naked2 palette almost everyday. I really want the LORAC Pro palette though! Maybe once I win that gift card 😉 Also, I just had a cup of coffee with International Delight Vanilla Heat coffee creamer – talk about warming you up on a chilly day!
I’m wearing UD Sin eyeshadow primer and MAC Blacktrack on my eyes. I think I like it!
After writing this i will give myself a mani and a pedi. It feels good if i start with a fresh mani and pedi to a week. I hate mondays :))
Just discovered an amazing eyeliner look. UD perversion, then UD junkie on top of it. It is so gorgeous!
My go-to palette tends to be Too Faced Sweet Indulgences. I love palettes that include some neutrals as well as some bolder colors!

hi
Best meal was afternoon tea at Neiman Marcus. Everything was delicious!
Just found a Mary Kay sale of 50% off. http://www.marykay.com/fvitolo, use promo code mk50
I have too many palettes to choose a favorite, but I seem to gravitate towards the nude palette. I have Lorac Unzipped, Meet Matt(e) Nude, Stila In the Light and now the Sephora IT pallete in natural. I may have an addiction to brown shadows (and purple).
Weekends have been interesting lately….
There’s a rainstorm here 🙁 I’m gonna get warm and read blogs!
Watching walking dead. Where are the kittehs?!
I think the best movie makeup I’ve ever seen is probably Tim Curry’s in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I just love him!
Your Tabs looks just like my Tiger:)
Tarte blush palette please!!
I am feeling ready for fall. It’s been a tough year and I am hoping that things will improve as the season changes 🙂
favorite palette of all time: Naked. Go with pretty much everything!
I’ve never been to Kansas!
My favorite eyeshadow palette is Lorac pro palette so many options love it
A slow weekend so far..
Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite palette of all time is Urban Decay original naked palette
Favorite eyeshadow palette of all time is UD Naked Palette!
A girl at the MAC counter once sold me some mineral powder foundation for someone with very dark skin and told me that since my skin is light, it’s great to use as bronzer. I have the feeling this wasn’t great advice and I hear great things about Benefit’s Hoola bronzer to use as contouring, since it has a little bit of a gray tint to it.
My favorite palette…right now it’s Charlotte Tilbury’s The Rebel palette!

I’m so excited for fall fashion and makeup collections! I am loving the Maybelline Fall collection, and can’t wait until the L’Oreal project runway collection comes out! I’m also lusting over the Sonia Kashuk fall collection, those berry-bristled brushes and rich, jewel-toned eyeshadow palette are calling me! Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! 🙂
I gotta say, James Marsden is pretty fine…
Best movie makeup? Black Swan!
I love my giant Stila palette!
Last week I made a pasta salad and mixed in broccoli and red onions. Since then I’ve been obsessed with adding red onions into dishes!
No, Toto, I’ve never been to Kansas. Feeling rather Lazilicious right now. It’s a good thing. Favorite palette? There have been so many but right now I’m loving the Lorac Pro Palette. That thing is glorious and the only shadow I’m taking on an upcoming trip. Can’t want for anything more!
Thanks for the chance to win the voucher…if I won it would be my first online order!! Yes I know, I am way behind on the times and missing out on great stuff.. Fingers are crossed 🙂 . I cooked a beautiful vegetable pasta sauce with various vegys, chilli, baby spinach and some pine nuts, was delicious!
My favourite palette is the first one I ever purchased: Josie Maran Natural Wonders. The eyeshadows are bright and happy, and the bronzer goes well with my complexion.
woop! i feel like this is my time! i want that clean rollerball set 🙂
I really wish I was able to attend Fashion Week.
Yes, I HAVE been to Kansas. Not particularly interested in visiting it again, although maybe with the right tour guide it would be a better time than the last.

I Love Tina Fey in the Rom-Com’s I’ve seen her in and I Also love Kristen Wig.
I’ve been liking the Urban Decay Naked palette (though I need help on applying eyeshadows..)
Its my birthday month, woo! I mostly only wear 1 eyeshadow due to my monolids and small lid space, so I love neutral palettes. LORAC unzipped, NAKED, just to name a couple.
Curse you, e.l.f. and your extremely affordable makeup and my inability to budget. 😛 But, hey, I’m gonna be getting a lot of fun stuff for my money AND free shipping, so it’s not all bad. …’course, if I get a gift card, I won’t actually be spending my hard-earned dollars. Hmm…:-P

I just started my first year as a full time worker since I just graduated….and I am addicted to online shopping! I need to stop, but I just can’t help and SHOP!
But thanks Karen for doing this weekly giveaway. You are incredible!
I recently got the MAC Smokelux Palette even though reviews were not so favourably. I LOVE IT! I’ve been using it at every opportunity and even thought about using it at my upcoming wedding!
Can’t go past an Urban Decay palette, especially the Book of Shadows, they are amazing! Even if they are huge…
Yay! I just realized that you’re a Filipina. Your blog is the most artistic blog I’ve ever visited. Your pictures here are fantabulous. Wait I don’t it count as pictures. I prefer to call them artworks!
my favorite romcom movie star is Cary Grant. Now if it’s romcom TV star, I would definitely have to say Mindy Kaling. man I love that girl.
My favourite palettes are anything neutral!
My husband’s parents live in Kansas, so we’ve been out to visit. Not somewhere I’d want to live though. I just can’t deal with completely flat land. I need hills or mountains or something with elevation.
I´ll be there forr youuu…watching friends!
My favorite palette is the Urban Decay Naked (the original)!
My most precious keepsake is a picture frame with a picture of me in kindergarten in the middle, with a picture of my mom in kindergarten on the left and a picture of my father in kindergarten on the right

Hope everyone has a great week & hoping this new week brings me good luck with my job search, getting so discouraged 🙁
But I will persevere!

Really ticked off by the #MissAmerica news items and tweets…so friggin’ ignorant!!!
I rode a camel in Morocco
I just looked up the word: Stereoisomerism and I feel Anna’s pain. ROFLMAO! (seriously? I had to look up a few other words just to understand the definition.)
Tell Tabs to surprise me – that should be challenging since I have half of Sephora in my bedroom. LOL
Thanks for the giveaway! YOu Rock!
I had Nutella-banana French toast for my birthday yesterday. Amazing!
One of my most cherished keepsakes is a note written to me from my brother this past Christmas, thanking me for helping him turn his life around. He passed away 3 months later.
I’ve never been to Kansas.
SO ANXIOUS TODAY!!!
The best meal I’ve had this week was grilled carne asada with stuffed pasila chilis, yum yum.
Okay now for my fave romcom actor I’ll say Hugh Grant, I mean the guy rocks it! Bridget Jones anybody?!
Wow, I’ve been to 40 states, but Kansas is not one of them.
I drove through Kansas when we moved from WA to TX 2 years ago. We stayed overnight in a small town and every person I saw was super nice~ a far cry from Tacoma 🙂
My birthday meal yesterday was pretty good!
I really want some Sephora by OPI nail polishes!!
I love your banner picture! (and cats)
I’m probably the last person ever to jump on the Naked pallet train but I am in love! it is perfection. Also I tried the Face Form from Sleek. comparable to the Naked Flushed only much less money and it is the best make up product i own!
My most precious keep sake is a gold necklace my grandmother left me 🙂
Ryan Gosling is my favorite matinee idol 🙂
Hey all! I just had to share that yesterday I had my first cupcake in about 4 years!! I have been sick and have had severe abdominal issues: Celiac Disease, ulcers, Crohn’s etc. I savored a delish gluten free Better Crocker Vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles – so exciting and so delicious!
My favourite eyeshadow palette might have to be theBalm’s nude tude! As for movies, I have to say anything that’s set in the 40s or 50s makes me want to go pin-up for a week.
Hi! I am a young makeup artist so I could really use the $50 Sephora card to expand my kit! It would be so helpful.
I would love to have a MAC lipstick <3. Would be a perfect gift birthday 🙂
yay!
Thank for having this giveaway, the nail polishes I could buy.
Best meal I had was homemade baked potato soup! I love fall when you can make warm comfort food!
I’ve never been to Kansas. I may have flown over it on a trip at one time or another, but that’s it.
I would love to try the lorac pro palette and urban decay revolution lipsticks
Thanks for the giveaway!
A sephora gift card would be awesome right now! With the fall collections coming out I’m going a little crazy over makeup right now.
Natalie recently posted … MAC Retro Matte Collection Review
My most prizes possession is a locket that was my grandmothers … It has no real monetary value (it was just a piece of costume jewelry) but she always wore it so it makes me feel like she is still with me
Yay Sephora!
I still need to recover from Breaking Bad last night!
Love sephora!!! My fav product right now is my clarisonic!
Lmao! I was going to say something about that Breaking Bad episode, but I see the girl who posted before me also did! It really is still on all of our minds! Ugh! I feel emotionally drained still after that!
Hey, gurrl! I’m waiting for you to do a review/swatches of Stila’s Magnificent Metals! Hope it’s coming soon! Can’t take how gorg they are!!!
Will you be trying Michael Kors’s makeup line when it comes out?
I keep going back to the Wet and Wild eyeshadow palettes. I still can’t get over the color payoff and wear on them – its awesome!
Ahhhhh… I need a win so bad
Bee recently posted … ANASTASIA Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel review.
Hope I win!!!
I can’t justify the price of a Mac lipstick, but I was so itching about the raves, so Mac counter, here I come! (maybe purchasing a concealer and a paint pot too)
Hmmm not sure if I have a fave palette of all time but I do like the Sephora Primal Instincts one a lot.
I think the ShadyLady palettes from theBalm are the best quality and color selection of the zillions of eye palettes I own!
Hey,
Having my cup of evening tea:) How about you ?
Take care…
Just painted my nails with Zoya Sooki and I am feeling f-i-e-r-c-e.
Tonight I feel calmausted – calm and exhausted.
Dating in your 40’s sucks so bad. I like men my own age and into their 50’s but they have turned into total whores thanks to cialis and Viagra and the highest number of new cases of trichamonas and chlmydia are in this age group! Wish me luck
make up is fun.
I’m rather fond of Tarina Tarantino’s Starchild Odyssey Palette, which is from a few years ago. The shade Empire is gorgeous!
My husband and I are finally going on our honeymoon in Vegas and Hawaii at the end of October and I want to be there NOW!
Oh hey! Love your blog and cute little kitty. Best meal of the week would have to be my amazing kale smoothies.
I would love that $50 gift card! Have an amazing day!
I finally found an everyday foundation routine that i’m comfortable with *phew! It consists of first putting on the maybelline fit me concealer on my acne scars and then with a big kabuki brush, i PAT on bareminerals original foundation. It leaves my skin looking flawless yet natural and it lasts me a good 9 hours.
My most precious keepsake is probably a porcelain doll my grandma painted with a Siamese face and paws and a hand-smocked pink dress.
My mood today was “vactionary.” I like to think of it as a “day off,” but really, I was just home sick, sleeping, cough, and fever.
My favorite romcom actress is Kate Hudson, and actor is Jude Law! I love the sappy ol’ crying film!
Started pharmacy school today and had to pay tuition – so I would loooove a Sephora gift card!
My favorite keepsake is a small teddy bear. It was given to me by my grandmother, who I adored but passed away when I was 8 years old (I was devastated!). It’s going to be passed on to my kids someday!
It feels like Fall in NYC already and I have no clue what to wear!
I love SF!!!
I love Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts in romcom’s! 🙂
Favorite pallettes would be any of the eye shadow pallettes from Too Faced. I have several, and enjoy them equally for different occasions.
Invent a word to describe the way you feel right now. BAHE – Bored Anxious Hungry yet Excited (about this giveaway) !!
I love the urban decay naked palette!
Hey! i love reading your blogs & My favorite Keepsake is A ring that belonged to my Mum… Its her most favorite piece of jewelry.
