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

Verve is such a cool word, isn’t it?

Verve…

I actually woke up lacking verve today, LOL! Totally lacking verve.

Oh, well. Hopefully the coffee helps me find it.

How’s it going this morning, my friend? What are you up to? I’m sitting here on the couch finishing my first cup of joe and breakfast (a waffle with almond butter and honey drizzled on top, and a side of sliced peaches) and watching The Golden Girls with Tabs.

Well, he’s actually staring out the window at the bird feeder expectantly. There are currently no birds dining at the restaurant.

Did you do anything fun last night? We were going to go see the new X-Men movie but ended up just going to Pasta Pomodoro instead.

Have you been watching True Detectives? I’m not the world’s biggest fan of cop shows, but dang if doesn’t have some amazing acting. Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Michelle Monaghan on screen in a TV show at the same time? That’s one heck of a cast.

Time for my second cup of coffee now! Can I get you one? Enter this weekend’s Sephora giveaway, and I’ll be right back. 🙂

    I wish I knew how to apply false eyelashes! And going to beauty counters or and especially to stores like Ulta I feel like I am way more knowledgeable than people working there. Have a great long weekend Karen, I am going to spend it working, most of the time :-/

    I find when I go into beauty stores (like Ulta, Sephora) and if I can’t find a product I’ve seen online, they often have never heard of it before and aren’t a lot of help. Which always surprises me because I assume they are as make-up obsessed as I am! Whereas with beauty counters in a department store, I’ve never run into that- I guess because they are focused on just one brand.

    I will be working on Memorial Day as it is not a holiday in Canada. We remember our veterans as well as those who we have lost while serving our country on November 11th of each year. That is our special holiday and it is called Remembrance Day. We wear poppies and have a moment of silence as well as many prayers. God bless those who keep us safe and free!

    Do you ever find that you know more about makeup than the people working at the counter or store? Oh yea.. All the time. and even more so for skincare- their knowledge is very limited.
    What are you doing for Memorial Day? Major appliance shopping! 🙂

    another point about being from a beach town- memorial day weekend is both wonderful and terrible at the same time. it signifies the beginning of the summer season- which means my favorite kind of weather and the area is more ALIVE…. but it also means lots of traffic, dealing with tourist types, and lots more stress!

    I’m a big fan of people’s stories in general, but when I saw your question, the first person I thought of was Mike Birbiglia. He’s a stand-up comedian who makes me laugh extra hard. Apparently he got a review once where someone called him “pawkward – pudgy and awkward,” which is awesome in and of itself. His stories tend to be about uncomfortable situations and other pretty mild shenanigans.

    I lost count of how many times the salesperson just tells me what is written in the packaging, really? I know how to read! Most of the time I end up searching on the internet for more info. Makeup counter workers are trained in sales, not product knowledge. Sometimes they “make stuff up” cause they have limited experience of what they do know.

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).
