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

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

Rise and shine, morning glory! Happy caturday! 🙂

How’s it going this morning? Tabs and I are just having some mommy and toygie time on the couch for a few minutes before El Hub and I go grab breakfast and coffee at Panera.

What’s a toygie, you may ask? Well, “toygie” is shorthand for “18-pound diva kitty supermodel.”

Here’s an example of it in everyday use:

“Hi, buddy! Hi, beauty. I love you, toygie-boo. Look at this Jabba on me! Yeah, we’re having mommy and toygie time… Mommy and toygie time…

Don’t bite. Don’t bite. DON’T BITE.”

In other news…guess who’s goin’ country tomorrow!? Yup, I’m heading to Nashville, Tennessee, also known as Music City, for a quick couple days to cover an event for Neutrogena. It’ll be my first time in “the home of country music,” so I’m very excited about it. Today I’m charging up all my gizmos and camera batteries to capture and share as much of the trip as possible.

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it involves something fun. Good luck in this weekend’s giveaway. Talk to you soon.

    Nothing nicer that running it under cool water and then putting on foundation when it’s getting warm; good coverage but light application is always a win in my book.

    Hi There!! My favorite country singer is a tie between Vince Gill and Alison Krauss. They both have the voices of angels. I have been down South quite a bit. I have relatives that live in Nashville. It’s a great town. I would love if I could visit again sometime soon, and go to the Grand Ole Opry when I’m there…it’s the best!! I’ve also been to Virginia a lot, because that’s where my Mom was born. Even though I’m a Pennsylvania girl, I’m a big lover of the South. Have a wonderful time in Nashville Karen, and don’t forget your cowboy boots. Yee Haw!!

    I grew up in a tiny town in central Louisiana, but also have briefly lived in Houston (2 years), Dallas (1 year), and small-town Kentucky (10 months). Not much in terms of small-town southern culture has stuck with me, except for the fact that I am a total beauty junkie who wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without having my makeup on, lol. I think it comes from the fact that when you live in a town as small as the one I grew up in, you literally can’t go anywhere without seeing someone you know, which has a way of motivating you to try and look your best at all times!

    What’s been your favorite spring/summer makeup product so far this year?
    I’ve gone hog wild on blue nail polishes for some reason lately- and my latest favorite is ORLY in It’s Up to Blue. Reminds me of the bottom of a pool- reflective and that faux bright pool blue color that is just gorgeous.
    Another favorite is my Tarte blush in Exposed that I picked up a month ago. It is purrrrfect for an au naturale spring look. I find myself reaching for it nearly every day.

    My favorite Nashville singer although she’s Canadian is Shania Twain. I know I’m dating myself back, but her song “Any Man of Mine”(1995? 96?) is a cool song because it talks about the ideal man a woman should have. Plus I admire her because it took awhile for her to break into the Nashville scene (I understand it’s not easy to break into it) and she’s just talented & beautifu:

    Any man of mine better be proud of me
    Even when I’m ugly he still better love me
    And I can be late for a date that’s fine
    But he better be on time

    Any man of mine’ll say it fits just right
    When last years dress is just a little too tight
    And anything I do or say better be okay
    When I have a bad hair day

    I loved the witty lyrics on this song & the rest of the album. Check it out!

I dig it up at about every time this year and wear it well into September (because it’s definitely still that hot, and therefore summer-like in Texas!) It’s definitely the perfect pinky-coral color for my skin tone!

    I’m starting to worry that I may start collecting higher end makeup. :-S During Sephora’s 15% sale, I picked up two OCC Lip Tars which I figured was fine as they’re so darn customizable and you get so much product for the price…and then I got a 100 point gift. A Buxom lipgloss. It was alright, a nice shade, minty, cooling, kind of tingly, but seemingly nothing to write home about…so why did I order two more of the things? 😛 I reeeeeally hope this doesn’t turn into me collecting every one of them, especially since they now have 100 shades. After all, there’s still A Dose of Color’s entire lipgloss range to pick up. XD Oy.

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).
