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

March 8th, 2014 by Karen 403 Comments

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

A Makeup and Beauty Blog Sephora Giveaway!
A Makeup and Beauty Blog Sephora Giveaway!

Hello there, sleepy head. Someone slept in this morning. 🙂

Did you sleep well? Have any good dreams? Did you dream of rainbows and unicorns, or pegasus perhaps?

I don’t remember if I had any dreams… I conked out when I went to bed (at like 9:30) last night.

You know how I drove into the city yesterday, right? It was for a couple of beauty events that I’ll tell you about soon (I just have to prep the pictures and videos first), but I was there for a total of about 12 hours, and it was like when you spend the day traveling. Miles of walking, not really having a home base to return to or a place to kick your sore feet up and wash your face. Plus, the huge crowds and always being a little hungry and dehydrated.

It was fun, and I love San Francisco…but I also love coming home.

I’m not sure what I’m doing yet today. I’m still trying to figure that out. I’d like to prep those MAC posts I mentioned, but I’d also like to just sit on the couch, LOL!

Sorry. Your girl’s still a little tired.

I hope you have a nice weekend lined up. Because I was negligent in my pet assisting duties yesterday, Tabs is insisting that I take him for an extra long walk. Be back soon. Good luck in this weekend’s giveaway. 🙂

    Hi Karen, love the blog!

    I think colourful eyeliner is the perfect pop for spring and summer makeup when you don’t want to wear a bold lip or anything.

    And I like men with some facial hair (I mean, look at that picture of Ryan Gosling! 😉 )

    Colorful eyeliner? Looooove it, but it scares me. Everything that was wrong about the 80’s pops into my head (you know, heavy-handed bright blue-ringed eyes, frosted pale pink lips, back-feathered bangs, pleated and tapered grandma pants). *Heebie-Jeebie shiver* Granted, we’ve come a long way since then, and colorful eyeliner is stunning when applied artfully.

    Perfection Lip Trio in natural. For $38 Brown Sugar Stick Gloss, Lip glace in Opal, & Lip Pencil in Natural Lips. I thought it would wash me out since I have darker skin, but the sheer nude as a slight pink to it that works. Both the lipstick and gloss are extremely hydrating. I am still trying to decide how I feel about the lip pencil.

    This is a tough one – there are so many gorgeous glittery products out for Spring! Ultimately, though, I’d have to say the shade “Choose” from Sephora’s Divergent collection kit. It’s this beautiful shimmer shade that you can layer on top of any other color and it’ll add the perfect sparkle and shimmer to it without tainting the original color.

    The general effect of facial hair is as follows: Beards- hotter. Clean shaven*- younger. Mustaches*- creeper. (*Must be done right and/or depends on the person.) Beards define the jawline. So in general, a well-groomed beard tends to work out the best.

    if i won the mega millions lottery jackpot, the first thing i would do is quit my job and take a vacation – first to florida, to see family & friends, and take my daughter to all the theme parks. i’d buy a new car and drive my old POS off a cliff. haha! i’d hire my good friend to be my personal accountant and manage my investments. i’d purchase a home on the beach, central florida gulf coast. well, i have other things on my list, but that’d be a pretty good start….

    I’ve recently began to take an interest in makeup and jazzing up my appearance. A friend suggested a YouTube channel for a particular makeup tutorial and I’m so glad she did because I feel like I’ve struck a gold mine with the wealth of info available there. I’ve learned so much in such a short time and have literally recreated my entire look. It’ been absolutely amazing.

    Colorful eyeliner: yes, but only inside the lower rim. I have hooded eyes and uneven lids, so I usually do bright smokeys or emphasize the lower rim with a bright colour.
    I only use dark colours for cat eyeliners so I can mask the hooded part 😀

    Hi there 🙂 Thanks for a great blog! Lots of cool tips and tricks – and lots of colors and makeup-love!
    I think that a cool thing to do with bright colored eyeliner, is to find the right shade for your eye color, – then apply just a very thin/fine line over and under your eyes, – so fine it is barely noticeable – and then just a liiittle bit more, at the side of your eyes, – again, very subtle, – and what this does, is that it makes your eyes pop – it enhances your eye color – and it makes you look gorgeous – without having to use a lot of eyes shadow. You can just go for a very neutral eye shadow color, such as a warm beige, or a light coral – brown – or pink on your eyelids.
    That’s my tips for beautiful eyes <3 Much love, Nina.

    Hello, I really like these questions!

    Have you ever used an airbrush makeup system (like Temptu or something else)?
    – No, but I hope one day I get to that.

    Bright, colorful eyeliner? Yes or no?
    -Yes I love it. I am still searching for a perfect cobalt blue one.

    Do you prefer men with facial hair or without?
    – I like beards on guys for some reason.

    Favorite glittery product right now?
    – I just bought some Inglot glitter so those.

    Have you ever taken a makeup class?
    – No but I hope I get money to take a make-up course.

    You just found out you won the MEGA Millions $270 million jackpot!!! What are you going to do first?
    – Open a bottle of Champagne, quit work immediately (and on my way I’d buy that pretty bag I always look at in the shop window opposite work), then go take the makeup course. And fly to London for shopping!

    Hi there, I grew up in the East Bay, Hayward to be exact. As a teenager, I always thought that I’d live in San Francisco once I became an independent adult. Life has more changes in store for me than I could have imagined. Several years later, I found my Self headed East for a Graduate Program and became bitten by the Big Apple bug. Even the great weather of sunny San Diego couldn’t hold me down. New York City was gleaming in my mind. Twenty years later, I am thinking wistfully about the Bay Area with hopes of moving back. Only I know it will be much different than before. My life has taken roots in NYC, home of Fashion Week, Fifth Avenue, 34th Street, Million dollar shopping and Forever 21 Trend budget buying. What can I say? I love New York while my heart still has a Californian living in it. Now, over the passed eight years I have been developing a major make up habit. I love, love, love make up. Last year I started pinning on Pinterest, following beauty bloggers, yourself included, and upping my make up game. At the same time, I’ve been working to heal from injuries to my spine that resulted from a car accident in Jan. 2005. It’s been a long hard road and one that I am headed in a positive direction. One of the hardest parts has been being single without family to lean on. Money is definitely tight. Without a doubt, I would be overjoyed to win a $50 Sephora card. I started going to the Columbus Circle Store while headed towards Whole Foods, this is my guilty distraction, I found a great make up artist. Kenny Vargas always picks out the best products. I have champagne taste on my Soda budget. Lately I’ve been crushing on my Buxom blush that is coral like. When I put it on, I am reminded that Spring/Summer is just around the corner, in spite of the colder than cold weather. I truly enjoy your choices of make up to review and I love the way the colors glow on your beautiful skin. As I finish this comment, my fingers will be crossed in the hopes of winning. Please let me know. Have a great Monday. P.S. I have two wonderful girls: One Tabby & One Tuxedo Cat that are in my heart. They are intelligent and lovable (when they are in the mood). From one cat lover to another.

    I’ve never tried an airbrush makeup system before, but I have tried airbrush tanning. I did it for my wedding and the first day I was so dark, I looked an incredibly dark warm color (think Zoe Saldana). As I’m pale as a new sheet of paper regularly, this was quite a shock! However, when I showered the next day, I was a gorgeous golden tan and so excited, haha. Unfortunately, it faded in less than a week. Ah well, embrace your natural beauty, right?

In our case, we’re going to start with a cat shelter of last resort where cats who aren’t getting adopted can live out there lives in the lap of luxury, but they can also still be adopted out. There will be 10 employees, a full-time veterinarian, 2 vet techs, office staff and carpenters and contractors who can build stuff like huge cat runs. We’ll also have 24×7 webcams where people can tune in to see what the cats are up to and video biographies like dating sites for each of the kitties to help them get adopted. 🙂

    Maaaan! I’m so disappointed I missed the MAC Powell store opening! I’d been Googling for information on opening day and never found out.

    Have you ever used an airbrush makeup system (like Temptu or something else)?
    Only had it done on me, but hadn’t personally used one myself, but I’d like to!

    Bright, colorful eyeliner? Yes or no?
    Yes! But I’d also tightline in black so my lashes look fuller.

    Do you prefer men with facial hair or without?
    Without.

    Current non-celebrity man/woman crush?
    There’s this guy….

    Favorite glittery product right now?
    Too Faced Black Forest Truffle

    Have you ever taken a makeup class?
    I’ve been to some MAC class where they just try to sell you stuff.

    Colorful, bright eyeliner is an easy way to add a little pop to a simple spring look. It’s a must have for me. You can do a basic eye and a nice purple or blue eyeliner which will heighten the look. Colorful eyeliners are nice for days when it’s hot out and you don’t want to do a full face of makeup but still want a little glam.

    Hey – take a day off! Everyone needs a chance to recharge their batteries, especially after a busy trip! Maybe Tabs can make some biscuits on your back to alleviate shoulder tension? 🙂

    Bright, colorful eyeliner? Yes or no? I LOVE it, but usually grab a brown liner by default. I had my bridal hair trial yesterday and my stylist was rocking a bright turquoise liner with baby pink lips and it looked GORGEOUS! Made me want to break out some colorful liners and have some fun!

Some guys look great with a full beard and some look better with no hair at all. I’ve never taken a makeup class. I would love to just for the experience.

The other thing I don’t like is that most air brush systems never leave a matte finish, which is what I prefer.

    If I won the mega millions, I’d be opening a chain of no kill animal shelters with special feature and “homestyle” rooms. These would be areas for pets to play and relax with staff. I’d also make lots of areas for them to just be themselves. There would be a high ratio of staff to pets as well, even if it was just part time or volunteers. Bringing in the elderly for “homestyle” rooms would also be great to be companioned with older or recovering pets for companionship!

There’s a gunmetal lipstick that’s dry, doesn’t apply perfectly…but the sparkle on the bullet…so nice. I’m hoping my Milani Anti-feathering lipliner will come to the rescue, which, may I say, is an absolutely brilliant tool. It’s pretty much become as necessary to my looks as my Fergie eyeshadow primer.

    If I won the lottery, I’d get my son into a great school.

    I typically prefer clean cut, GQ men, but Jonathan Scott (Property Brothers) and Jared Leto have me singing a different tune.

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).
