A Makeup and Beauty Blog Giveaway!

Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. We made it through another week! Congrat-poo-lations. 🙂

What did you end up doing last night? Did anyone else go see that new movie, Neighbors? On a very serious note (not really), what did you think of Zac Efron’s abs and lashes??

Ha! Not bad, right? Bravo on both counts.

I was surprised by how much I liked that movie. Yes, SO DUMB! — but totally fun, and some of the jokes about grownup life are freaky accurate, like going to bed with a mouthguard and loving brunch.

In other news, this should be a laid back weekend for me. Tomorrow I’m driving out the East Bay to take my mom out to Mother’s Day brunch, but other than that, I’ll just be chillin’ here around the house. I owe Tabs some quality playtime.

Good luck in this week’s giveaway. Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours. 🙂

  3. I just recently found my HG liquid eyeliner.. it’s the liquid eyeliner by Jesse’s Girl! I love that it’s so easier to maneuver since it’s a brush tip and not a felt tip and the formula is waterproof!

  5. Random Fact: You know, it’s actually ridiculous how many times I have left the house with a giant orange streak (aka contour line) on my cheek and not realized how stupid I looked until some guy at Dunkin Donuts asked me if I fell asleep in the tanning bed -_-

    Luckily, I’m learning.

  7. I actually went to the Statue of Liberty when I was around 10 years old, but apparently (according to my mom) I was freaking out on the ferry ride there! Haha

  10. In my opinion the best bronzer in the world is Nars Laguna bronzer, it’s the perfect shade for me for both contouring and bronzing, love it! Also I NEED to see that film, it looks awesome 😀 (definitely nothing to do with a topless Zac Efron) 😉 xx

  13. Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. Happy fur-mom mothers day! My favorite liquid liner is probably Jordana fabu-liner, or LORAC front of the line.

    Reply

  14. I have to wear a mouthguard a night — sometimes when I nap — because I grind my teeth so badly.

    My new favorite liner is Marc Jacob’s Mark’r!

    Reply

  15. My new favorite eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 VELVET GLIDE-ON EYE PENCIL. Not only is it an awesome eyeliner and waterproof- which I definitely need with my allergies, but they list ingredients by each specific color so if you’re allergic to or just avoiding certain ingredients you know whether or not you can wear that color instead of having to avoid everything just in case. And with my allergies to coal tar dyes, I love that they have chosen to avoid using them in most of the colors!

    Reply

  16. I don’t wear a mouth guard, but I do wear a retainer at night so my teeth will stay put. I had to wear braces for 3,5 years so I really don’t want to risk it. I’ve also got used to sleeping with it, so now when I go to sleep without it (eg sometimes when I travel), it feels REALLY weird.

  17. Hi Karen
    I haven’t tested allot of bronzer but I think wet and wild can make great ones for the shades I have seen. But they don’t sell them on the Island I want a matte one.
    Liquid eyeliner I have tried just one, hoping to find a good one that is budget, cruelty free and does not crack. I am trying to learn to do winged eyeliner

    I have a natural model at home, my puppy is Beige and she has a line of dark brown fur around her eyes it looks like she has winged eyeliner make up. Actually it looks very pretty on her.

    Reply

  23. I do wear a mouth guard. I only noticed I grind my teeth until about 10 years ago when I was 19 and my boyfriend at the time said I did. Now, I wear “Grind No More” disposable ones you can get from Walgreens.

  36. I tripped like four times during graduation. I laugh about it but I still get re-embarrassed every time i think about it. lol

  42. I have been to Mount Rushmore but I have never been to the Statue of Liberty. I hope to go some day soon because I would love to visit New York City.

  43. I’m super pale so a good bronzer is hard to find. I like one by Korres an also have a Guerlain one that is pricy but great!

  46. Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?
    Oh yes!!!
    I was in a lodge and my room was literally on the edge of the canyon!!! Have never seen so many stars in my life …. Amazing, magical and out of this planet place … I will go back there for sure 😉

  49. Have made ​​some friends in the gym building my mother (while I lived with her), I began to worry about healthier eating and as time in the gym never passed, I started to make friends and together we gave each other tips purchases outside circuits we did together!

  50. I saw your instagram post about glasses and it inspired me to look for ones that suit my face better and I’m bored of looking through all the options so I’m taking a break and looking through all your posts instead 🙂

  52. Love the Stila Stay All Day liquid liner!
    Still on the hunt for a good bronzer, one that’s neither too orange nor too muddy with a hint of sheen…

    Reply

  56. No never been to the grand canyon but i really want to! i love geology, but everyone i know went before as a kid and don’t care to revisit…so i need new friends.

    FYI did you know ryan gosling was in SF for the film festival!?

  59. I’ve been to the Grand Canyon twice. Very spiritual place. Seen quite a few people with little common sense try to go beyond the ropes or barriers to get to the edges. Not very smart.

    Reply

  60. Since tomorrow is Mother’s Day, I now can laugh at what my son did when he was 5 at Easter mass so long ago. During the sermon, the priest kept repeating “You must find Jesus”, after about 10 minutes of this, my 5 year old son stood up pointed at the cross and shouted “Jesus is right there, can’t you see him?” I was not sure if I should laugh or hid under the pew?

    Reply

  65. Hi Karen, I quite like my Stila liquid liner but Bobbi’s gel eyeliner is my HG…no matter what I tried, my waterline would always get smudged so I stayed away from doing boldly lined eyes…but recently discovered that Bobbi’s gel liner applied on top of NARS eyeshadow primer on the lower lashline keeps me smudgeproof for hours…yay!!!!!!!!

    Reply

  68. I have been using Studio Gear’s Bronze Matte Bronzer for some time, it’s a nice build able color, with absolutely no shimmer, and seriously, it lasts forever. No idea when I am going to hit pan on it, but I don’t use it in the winter, just spring and summer. I got it at Ulta. I am going to take a look at that Urban Decay Naked Flush you wrote about this week, because it looks like a great travel option!

  74. I have never been fortunate enough to make friends at the gym :-/. I swear I’m friendly- maybe I just look super intense when I workout!

  75. Karen, you have to tell me what you have been doing with your skin lately, it looks incredible! New foundation? powder? whatever it is i hope Sephora stock it so I can get my hands on that miracle product of yours if I win!

  82. I have a mouth guard for teeth grinding, but I am flat out horrible at wearing it. Time to work on that again…

  87. I am lounging today. I pushed myself too hard for the past week and last weekend. My back is angry with me, so online retail it is!

    Reply

  89. I don’t have a favorite liquid liner because I legit don’t get how to use them! I’ve tried a few times and it always looks bad, haha.

    Reply

  91. I’ve been wanting to see Neighbors for as long as there have been previews playing at the theater. I love Seth Rogan. I think we’re going on Weds. Good to know it was as dumb as I expected it to be, but still funny!

    Reply

  92. I never had any luck with a liquid eyeliner, so I don’t have a favorite one. I love my urban decay 24/7 pencil eyeliners.

  94. When I was in NYC back in the 90’s, I went to see/visit the Statue of Liberty. But the wheather was terribly cold and so windy, that that tour is not a good remembering…

    Reply

  95. Mountain lion, falcon or bear? — not sure if this means which animal i like best, which animal i would choose to be in a future life, or which animal i would rather have to defend myself against.

    i’m going to choose mountain lion, because i’ve always had great love for all “big cats” <3

  97. An embarrassing moment that you can now look back on and laugh?

    3rd grade kickball game. I wanted to impress my crush at the time and prove that girls could play too. As I nervously stood on line I was determined to punt it as far as I could. Then it was my turn so I ran as fast as my little legs allowed, swung my leg back and kicked the ball. Only the bottom of my foot landed on top of the ball and I landed ass over teakettle (plus I was wearing a skirt-the horror). Needless to say I didn’t play ever again. And my crush… he’s my husband. So at least I got the boy!

  99. I’ve been to the Statue of Liberty once, but I’d really love to go on a road trip to see Mount Rushmore!

  105. Love Stone Mountain in GA. On of the few majestic wonders of the United States that the creator of Mt Rushmore started and left to finish Mt. Rushmore.

    Reply

  106. I went to the Statue of Liberty when I was around 13. It was summer and hot and crowded. You would take 1 step, then wait several minutes before you could take another. It took a long time to get to the top.
    I’ve been to Mt. Rushmore twice. For some reason I didn’t find it that impressive the first time but it definitely was on my second visit.

    Reply

  107. I agree with you on everything Zac Efron 😉 I don’t know if that’s enough to make me watch the movie though (I know, gasp). My favourite eyeliner so far would be the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner but I need to cut back on spending and find a cheaper alternative *sigh*. The search goes on! And thank you for this giveaway, Karen 🙂

  108. I’m not confident in my abilities with regular pencil liners that I’ve yet to consider tackling the “liquid liner” beast.
    Cheers 🙂

  109. My favorite liquid liner is the Lorac pen! I am obsessed with liner pens now! Thy are way easier to use than just about anything else!

  110. I wear a mouthguard on occasion because I grind my teeth, too, but I figured out that I tend to bite down hard on the guard and consequently wake up with a sore jaw. 🙁

    Reply

  111. After the first time at the gym working really hard I was dizzy and out of it. All I wanted was to go to the restroom and pee. Well I walked into the men’s restroom into men using the urinals LOL I was mortified at the time.

  118. I have finals this coming week, and I have yet to start on some of my computer science programs! ARGGGHHH. I need buys from Sephora.

  120. My favorite liquid eyeliner is Stila’s All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye liner, it’s the only one that doesn’t smudge on me after an hour, everything else does unfortunately.

    Reply

  121. I guess it’s because I’m shy that I never post on blogs or things like that, but since I am today, I have to let you know you are pretty much my fav makeup blog! You are such a sweetheart, give accurate portrayals of the products, and are near my skintone (that helps xD). Thanks for being such a helpful resource!
    Also: My fav liner is by a brand called Dolly Wink (japanese), it’s pretty well known, and is really long wearing and easy to apply.

  122. I don’t wear a mouthguard to bed, but I have visited the Grand Canyon.
    My two cats and I would love a Sephora gift card!

  125. Favorite liquid liner? Stila stay all day waterproof liquid liner is hands down THE BEST liquid liner I’ve ever used! The felt tip applicator is super easy to use even for a beginner (it was my first liquid liner) and stay all day is actually an understatement…I’ve actually warn it all day, got home and passed out with it on, gotten up in a rush and run off to work with it still on (now day 2) and it still hadn’t budged when I got home that night. Now I know doing that is probably bad but its not like I make a habit of it 0:)

  130. I have been to the Grand Canyon and it was breath taking! I went there when I got married in Las Vegas, NV in September of 2012!

  131. Hope I’m posting this in the right place
    Do you wear a mouthguard to bed? Yes, I grind too

    Have you ever been to Mount Rushmore or the Statue of Liberty? Statue of Liberty special event for a conference, we had Ellis Island to ourselves for the night. It was an amazing evening!

    Who makes the best bronzer? Nars Laguna

  132. I used to wear I mouth guard when I was a child, because I clench my teeth. I stopped because it hurt more than ever. I don’t think it fit right.

  142. I’ve been to the Statue of Liberty a few times when I was younger on family vacations to NYC. It’s been years, though. I’m definitely overdue for a trip.

  144. I really wanna go see Neighbors. All the clips and trailers I’ve seen looked really good so I hope I like it.

  148. I’m really into matte for makeup, because I went through a major sparkle phase as a teenager, so I’m going to have to vote for Too Faced’s Chocolate Soleil bronzer.

    Reply

  157. I also wear a mouthguard. My problem is more clenching than grinding, really. Speaking of which, I have to look for the damn thing. It’s been missing for about a week and I’ve started to wake up with headaches without it.

    Reply

  161. Mountain lion, falcon or bear?

    Falcon! I was walking home today with my husband & we noticed a falcon flying above us. After a few seconds a 2nd & 3rd falcon came into view. The 3 of them soared above for several minutes while we stared at them. As if they knew they had our undivided attention, they came together, almost in a circle & started synchronized soaring, in & out of the circle 4 or 5 times before they all flew off in different directions.

    It was breathtaking…spiritual. Something that I’ll never forget!

  163. I do not wear a mouth guard to bed. Although,I should. My insurance won’t cover it and I like buying fun stuff more..like makeup and skin care products! 🙂

  203. We saw the Neighbor last night, it was cute. As you said, dumb, but sometimes I like a mindless comedy.

    I would love to see pictures of your makeup collection. Do you have it in a neat little organizer? I just recently got an acrylic organizer and it’s ok, it helps, but it’s not big enough. I’m curious what your set up is.

  207. Hi! I have been to Mt. Rushmore a few times. I grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin so it was sort of close to go to. It’s pretty awesome! What else is cool in South Dakota is the Corn Palace. I think it’s in Mitchell. It’s a place to shop but all the walls inside and out have pictures made out of different colored corn. It sounds really silly but it’s pretty cool too. Thanks!!+

    Reply

  209. I really haven’t played much with liquid/gel/creme eyeliners, but I’m definitely interested! I love the winged look, but it’s hard to walk away from those kohl pencils I’ve been relying on since middle school. They’re just so forgiving of mistakes!

  210. One of my most embarrassing moments recently occurred while I was getting a coffee at Ralphs. Not only did I manage to spill the entire cup all over my shirt making it see through, but as I hurried to rush and get napkins I manage to accidentally slap another woman on the butt as I was walking past. I went into shock and couldn’t bring myself to turn around and apologize so I just walked away…. Yep it was one of those days

  220. In college, my friends and I did a turnaround trip to the Grand Canyon. We left at 10pm, got there a bit before sunrise, walked around for an hour or so, and went back home. It was wonderful and horrible at the same time.

    Reply

  222. Never been to the Grand Canyon but would love to! Don’t usually use liquid liner but I have one by l’oreal that I like. The Sephora matte bronzer is a pretty good one, usually use it for light contouring or for creating a shadow on my lid. I usually use the MAC mineralize skinfinish in medium deep as my all over bronzey glow color!

  223. I think Too-Faced makes great bronzers! Pink Leopard may be my favorite at the moment, I’ve been using it as a blush.

  227. Hey love! I laugh so hard at the preview.. Im totally going tonight to watch it! 😀 anyways… I wanted to ask… have you tried the Nars body glow with monoi oil?? Im kind of pale but love the bronzing look for the summer but for such an small bottle Im not sure I want to spend 60+ on it if its not super amazing! 😀 xoxo

  232. My favorite liner is the Urban Decay 24/7, love them! The first time I used it I was totally impressed with the quality, buttery smooth like everyone says, amazing & unique colors and I love how long it lasts, on my waterline too. =) Also, very gentle on the eyes, never stings or irritates.

  234. Oh man I could use a vacation. Even to Mt. Rushmore (although I’d rather go to Hawaii!) It’s been CRAZY hot here! I live right near you, Karen (SJ) so you know what I’m talking about I’m sure.
    At least on Maui I can get away with wearing only a bathing suit and a shirt all the time.

  238. My fav liner right now is the Milani felt tip liquid liner. Its super affordable and works just as well as the more expensive ones. Its super black and I love that it has a long thin point at the tip then it tapers wider. Perfect! Thx for the giveaway!

    Reply

  240. I’m not terribly picky about the liquid liner I use, honestly. And I wear it every day! I’m pretty fond of Revlon’s ColorStay liner, but Rimmel’s Exaggerate Liquid Eye Liner also has a pretty hefty amount of staying power. They have similar brushes and formulas, and they’re both around $5. Can’t really go wrong either way!

    Reply

  243. Liquid liner? How about no liner? I am that unskilled girl who freaks about putting on eyeliner. It’s never straight and anything coming at my eye is a no-go. (Even though I wear contact lenses!)

    Reply

  244. Hi Karen, I’ve been to the Statue of Liberty once! Never actually got to go inside but standing by the base was quite a sight alone! Obviously it’s a tall statue, but when you’re actually at the base it’s quite breathtaking. Hope you are having a fantastic Mother’s Day!

  258. Hahaha, “An embarrassing moment that you can now look back on and laugh?” I remember when I first wore red lipstick when I was 19 years old at a University party and ALL my front teeth got red coloured, I was smiling to everyone, specially the guy I liked, and feeling invincible until I looked at my reflection and saw that I was, technically, a female Joker; felt so embarrassed that I locked myself in the bathroom until my mum picked me up.

  261. My favorite liquid liner is the Stila Stay All Day liner. It comes in so many fun colors, and it really does last!

  263. I grind my teeth in my sleep when I’m anxious (I’m in the last 2 weeks of my first year of grad school, so literally every night), but I don’t have a mouth guard. And I really need to get one. Thanks for the reminder! 🙂

    Reply

  264. My favorite eyeliner has to be Sephora’s liquid liner with the brush tip. I don’t know if that’s because I’ve been using it for years and haven’t tried out better ones or if it really does work the best on my skin, but I love it! 🙂

  266. Falcon all the way. 😛 And I’m a big fan of the Jesse’s Girl Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner; such sleek packaging at such a cheap price. Plus the idea behind it (based on calligraphy brushes) and the strong performance also makes this one of my favorites. Then again, I’m also a big fan of the Jordana liquid eyeliner in Antique Linger. Weird name, great color.

  272. Loreal makes the best liquid and gel liner because they do not dry out as fast as liners from other brands.

  275. I also grind my teeth. I am supposed to wear a mouth piece to bed. I am always scared I will choke on it at night. Am I crazy? I better start wearing it or I won’t have any teeth left. Xo

Ive never used MAC, EVER, Im loving it now! Need a few brushes but as you know, MACs are a tad high. Have a few from Sephora, need couple more eye brushes. Hope you can help me get them, by me winning! Sephora has a lot of my money already!! Read your articles daily!!

  286. The best bronzer award goes to…Too Faced. When I got into using makeup, I was very hesitant to use bronzer for fear that it look orangey and clownish on my fair skin. After receiving a sample of Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer, my mind was forever changed. Not only can the bronzer be applied naturally, but it also has the wonderful scent of cocoa. A-plus! 🙂

  295. Growing up, my mom always had to force me to wear makeup when going to events. I hated makeup until I turned 22. How old am I now? I’m 23. Now, I am obsessed with makeup. I love learning about new products and brands. Your site has helped me out so much because your reviews are so informative. What I love the most are the swatches because we both have the same undertones. Thanks for maintaining an amazing beauty and style blog! 🙂

LOL I’m all for drug store mascara but I have yet to find one that works for me 🙁 Hope you’re staying cool through the heat wave here in the Bay Area!

  320. I used to wear a mouth guard to bed because my old (moronic) dentist said I needed one. It totally messed me up more and now I no longer wear one haha. There are sooo many high end bronzers I want to try, but I’m currently loving the Physicians Formula Bronze Booster! Happy Monday!

  322. Do you wear a mouthguard to bed? – Yep, I’ve had a bitesplint for awhile now because my dentist was threatening me with the possibility that I’m going to have the teeth of a 60-yr-old in the next five years if I don’t quit grinding. And I am literally 23. Needless to say, haven’t gone without it since.

  333. I ran into a lover from high school when I was 18 and I’m 50 now and it’s amazing to see how differently we age. He’s 6’4 still handsome but he’s been through it. Although I’ve medical challenges I’m looking pretty good. The chemistry was still there but, he just got married . Heavy sigh

  336. I’m so in love with the bronzer from the Tom Ford summer palette. If that was available on its own, I’d be so all over that!

    I have made new friends at the gym. It came about because the four of us were trying desperately to get back into shape and ended up in a Hip Hop dance class. Our teacher was very young, lithe and limber and we…weren’t. So there we were, trying desperately to mimic the instructor’s sexy choreography to some seductive Prince song. My body just wouldn’t bend that way, and I plunked unceremoniously on my tush. I glanced up, red-faced, and noted my three now-compatriots had suffered the same fate. We were laughing hysterically. Gym buddies forever!
