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

July 5th, 2014 by Karen 323 Comments

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

World's tallest cat tower
The Dubai Cat Tower, by designer and architect Tabs the Cat, holds the current record for the world’s tallest cat tower at 2,723′

I think most driven cats think about their legacy.

They want to leave their mark on the world; they want to be remembered. In fact, I think it’s one of the main reasons they scratch things…

It’s tough nowadays, though, because cats aren’t as easily impressed as they once were. There was a time when a cat could just scratch an oak tree, and other cats would walk by and say, “That scratch there? Your great, great, great grandcat made that scratch,” but no more. Now cats have to think bigger.

Bigger like the recently completed Dubai Cat Tower, which at 2,723′ is the tallest freestanding cat tower in the world.

Tabs just wants to leave his mark on the world… 🙂

In other news, good morning! Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. Happy caturday!

I really enjoyed yesterday’s open thread (thank you for stopping by), and I’ll still be hanging out in the comments there if you want to chat.

So…tell me about fireworks. Did you see any last night? We saw a few sparkles in the sky from our house, but that’s about it. We did, however, see one of the coolest movies I’ve seen in a long time. If you like thought-provoking sci-fi — oh! — you have to see Snowpiercer.

WOW! What a fan-friggin’-tastic sci-fi movie. I’m going to be seeing scenes from that movie in my head for the rest of my life.

It stars Chris Evans (Captain America), Jamie Bell (Billy Elliott, Jumper), Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Deep End) and quite a few other good actors.

It’s kind of a weird premise, but that’s a recipe for good sci-fi. It’s about a train. The whole thing takes place on a train, but it doesn’t really feel claustrophobic, because the train is their entire world. For reasons explained in the movie, the people on the train can’t leave. Can’t ever step foot off the train. Ever.

There’s a struggle for leadership to control the limited resources on the train, and intense mayhem ensues.

Warning: It’s shocking and gruesome and twisted at times.

Seriously, if you consider yourself a fan of sci-fi, you gotta see Snowpiercer.

In other news…it’s giveaway time!

Are you ready for this? I hope you are.

Good luck. Talk to you soon. 🙂

    Heck yes to sushi! I love that it’s one of those things you can gorge yourself on until you feel ill, but the recovery time from a feast is much faster than just about any other food. You can eat until you feel like you can’t hold anymore (ever), and then in like 2 hours you’re ravenous again.

    I recently bought the LORAC Unzipped palette, by the by! After reading your review what feels like forever and a day ago, I finally plunked down the chunk of change and snapped it up. No regrets! It’s totally gorgeous. I pretty much had a, “Where have you been all me life?!” moment with it.

    This may be off-topic or at least not one of the suggested comments but I just recently decided to buy some makeup brushes from the Germany cosmetics company Zoeva. I heard great things about them online from Samantha of Batalash. I had to try them for myself and OH MY GOD. These are the best brushes I have ever owned. Even with the flat-rate shipping they’re still waaaaay less expensive than both MAC and Sigma. I highly recommend that Complete Eye Kit. That is all! Good luck to everyone who entered the contest. Fingers crossed!!

    Hi Karen, I come across this blog after browsing for makeup and beauty tips and I found your blog is very useful for me. I had motorcycle accident 2 years ago and I hit the road with my face down so my face wounded so bad around my eyes, on my forehead, nose and jaw, but Thanks God it’s getting better now. And that is the main reason why I get addicted to makeup and skin cares, it helps to boost my confident. I think makeup is fun and a way to express ourself.

    So yes I definitely ever ridden a motorcycle and still do until now despite that I had accident it doesn’t make me phobia of motorbike. I’ve been ridding it since I was 13 years old so Yes Im a Lady Biker. It doesn’t mean that I have no phobia at all, Im phobia of blood I faint at the sight of blood. I have several funny stories related to my fear of blood.

    I’m loving sushi but unfortunately I suck at making sushi so I always buy it from Japanese restaurant nearby. I want to improve my way of life by eating healthy food, I always include a bowl of broccoli in my daily meal but perhaps you have more suggestions for me? I heard that eating the right food can help fixing the skin complexions.

    My favorite hair salon? We have a local spa center here in Indonesia called Martha Tilaar Salon and day spa, so I go there for spa and hair treatment. Have you ever been to Indonesia? If you visit here, I recommend you to try their spa products where you will be treated like a princess.

    Nail sticker? I would love to try but not now, I need to grow my nails first.

    Sorry for the lengthy comment and for my bad English, English is not my native language.

    Someone above mentioned a phobia of escalators… Know that you are not alone lady. I did not like them as a kid and to this day I still look before, and as, I step. I always worry that one will grab my skirt or dress so I’m always holding it up.

    I’m so obsessed with my Bobbi brown shimmer brick in nectar right now. It leans the most gorgeous glow to the skin. Even my pale NC15 skin. So pretty!!!! I’ve used it the past three days and made myself use something different today. Haha

    According to Google, the definition of Sushi is: a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavored cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg.

    My definition: The most odd food ever to be put in my mouth.

    Seriously though, sushi is off my list. I felt the cold salmon in my mouth and almost threw up (maybe TMI). After chewing for what felt like 10 minutes, I didn’t want to give up! I had to swallow it to technically have eaten it. Swallowing was definitely the most difficult part. You know that feeling when you try to swallow food and your throat keeps pushing it back up? Totally happened to me. I feel like I could’ve swallowed a brick easier.

    So for me, sushi is definitely a NO.

Actually, it’s like watching a chef make a complicated but awesome recipe that’s time-consuming but he loves it and wants the best, most creative look. If you’re in the area, go to their Salon.

I just finished Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson recently (kind of a slog) and started Farside by Ben Bova which has piqued my interest so far. And I’m on the library waiting list for Cibola Burn by James SA Corey now. Um yeah! I have a bit of a thing for scifi, haha. 🙂

    I have a mini freak when big bugs or spiders surprise me. Also not too anxious to meet snakes.

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).
