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

May 3rd, 2014 by Karen 329 Comments

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

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

Good morning, glory. 🙂 I hope you slept well. Did you do anything interesting or fun last night?

El Hub and I drove down to Blue Barn in Corte Madera, and I got that salad I like (with the grilled shrimp and avocado). Then we just tooled around the mall until closing.

It was such a comfortable night outside, all warm with a beautiful coral and pink sunset, so it was nice to just walk around.

There’s an REI down there, so we walked in to look at bikes, and I found a cute blue one with flowers painted on it and tassels on the handlebars and a basket on the front that would have been perfect for kittens, but it was like $700!

Seriously, when did cute bicycles get so expensive?

In other news, this was a big week for my addiction to makeup. 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the MAC Maleficent and Alluring Aquatic coverage. I had a total blast doing those posts.

Good luck in this weekend’s Sephora giveaway. Talk to you soon.

    My fave two eye shadow look at the moment is Urban Decay’s Sin and Snakebite. Super easy. I apply Sin all over the lid and upwards to my brow bone then Snakebite on the lid and blend. Both are neutral so it is an easy on the go look without too much effort!

    My favorite eyeshadow probably ever is Victoria’s Secret “Provocateur”. When I realized how low my first pan is, I regretted not picking up more than one extra- then again, I didn’t know they were going to discontinue their professional makeup line in February. Shame, really; they were the best. That, with a catlike line of Mary Kay “Espresso” (their best eyeshadow, imho) is my simplest look and also my favorite.

    My favorite eyeshadow combo is a little boring,but it works for me. A Mac nude cream shadow followed by a Dior nude powder shadow. It makes me look awake, but not made up. I do switch it up with bolder choices sometimes, like a rich metallic or a bright pink sometimes which is fun. I used to go total drag queen and use sliver glitter stage makeup on my eyes, but I haven’t done that in years.

    I used to use the Ardell 120 Demi’s. I used to use them while cocktail waitressing, they served me well. I did have a bike, and I had to leave it behind in a stressful move as a teenager. So sad, I saved up for months for it.

    I don’t currently own a bike. Although I did train for the Seattle to Portland race with my dad – which we didn’t end up being able to compete in due to an event conflict. Had to re-sell our entry tickets.

    I really prefer to run, walk or hike for my outdoor exercise these days.

    And, a tip – if any of you ladies like to wear your hair up, you’ll have to try Goodie spin pins. They are fantastic for making a quick bun.

I have seven cats – I had eight but my oldest cat died last week 🙁 He was old and unwell but he was lucky to die in the sun in my husband’s arms at home, rather than after being injected by a vet. In the end it was quick and he had a long, good life. He would have been 17 in a few months. Farewell Maxie!

    I have hip length hair I wear up all the time. I work in a lab, it would be no good to get nasty chemicals in it. My favorite way to wear it it in a crown braid, or two braids wrapped around my head with a soft jersey headband wrapped around them, so the loops of the braids show in back. It’s perfect for dirty lazy hair days, which happen often as an overworked grad student.

    The last time I wore my hair up was probably when I was around 15 cause that’s when I cut it all off. I’m 23 now and that one short period last year when I thought it would be fun to grow it out doesn’t really count. It wasn’t as fun as I thought 😉 Just when it started to touch my shoulders for the first time in years, I went back to my pixie cut. Still loving it! No regrets 🙂

    sometimes I can’t choose which prompt to answer … I don’t have a bicycle, but I would really love one of those “old fashioned” style schwinn bikes.
    I love to take pictures but wish I had a smaller, more compact camera because I don’t always have the big one with me so I miss out on great photos sometimes.
    And… My hair is in a ponytail right now, and it will be for the next five months, at least. LOL

    •Do you know how to waterski? I do not, and I am too afraid to try.
    •Favorite false lashes? – Ardell Lashes 109.

    •What’s your favorite two-shadow eye look at the moment? – Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink, followed up by UD Hustle from the Naked 1 palette in the crease to define the eye.
    •When was the last time you wore your hair up? – Today, actually. I’ve got it in a messy french twist because I think the AC at work is broken…

The graduates are standing in 93 degree heat and just really want to go to the ” after grad” party at the restaurant. 🙂 Take two really good ones of each group and then quit. Everyone will thank you, even the folks who didn’t graduate but sat through the four hour ceremony only to not hear or see ” their” graduate. 🙂

    Complete this sentence: when it comes to taking pictures…I take way more than the average person (or so I’m told) at different angles to get the perfect picture. I like to take lots of nature pictures and the angle/lighting can make a big difference in how cool some of the shots are. Things also tend to look different on the camera screen as compared to on my computer so I take a lot of pictures and pick my favorites once I have them loaded on my laptop. I blame my pickyness on my genes (my grandpa and all of his brothers were professional photographers so I think I picked it up from their side.). I have some pretty amazing pictures because of my pickyness, though. I took 2 from my trip to Hawaii and had them blown up on canvas for my living room wall 🙂

    It has been awhile since I’ve entered any contests…everyone wants you to have Facebook and Instagram and Twitter…and I don’t. Mostly because I find it easier to live in the moment by actually being in it. Much easier and much more fulfilling than pulling out my phone, taking a picture, uploading the picture and having everyone comment, critique and taking the joy from the moment. I thank you for giving regular, life loving, memory holding people like me, a chance to enter! Have a good week!

    I used to have a bike and I even had it on campus, but the tire blew. Then I got hit by a cyclist the next year and now have a permanent bump/bald spot on my skull, so no more bikes for this chicky. 🙁

    I wear my hair up either in a bun or ponytail daily b/c if I don’t, it makes my neck hurt & gives me a headache since it’s so coarse, thick & heavy…that’s kinda sad that my hair causes actual pain, huh? lol I wanna shave it but my family is totally against it- I think I might just come home one day w/ it already shaved 😉

    My Favorite 2 eyeshadow combo is the MAC Satin Taupe and Too Faced Chocolate Soleil matte bronzer in Milk Chocolate in the crease (yes, I use it as an eyeshadow)

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).
