Probably not a surprise, but Tabs is very protective of his meow time. Today he has several things lined up, including a long walk outside, a deep-tissue massage and an intense grooming session with his favorite brush.
He keeps encouraging me to follow his lead and take more time out for myself, so today I’m going to go for a nice, long run, and then to Sephora to play with some makeup.
Maybe paint my nails, too. π
Whatever you’re up to today, I hope you have some time for yourself.
Have a great weekend, babe. Maybe we’ll bump into each other on Twitter or Facebook today.

I washed my brushes just a few days ago!
Powder eyeshadows all the way, I hardly ever use creams. I have only one piercing in each of my ears. Happy Caturday! Have fun at Sephora!
I am actually wearing my favorite lounge outfit right now: velours sweat pants, a comfy t-shirt and warm socks π

I actually washed my makeup brushes this morning.
About to head out to a festival! Have a good day!
I just washed my brushes yesterday!
I use a daily brush cleaner everyday that I use my brushes and do a deep clean with baby shampoo once every two weeks (which in this case, was yesterday).
I did a long run with a friend this morning.
Our orange tabby Elwood is super affectionate! He loves to lick, to the point where I think he might be part dog! π
My go-to eyeshadow is usually MAC Carbon, I use it to blend with greys to create my fav smokey eye! π
I have the comfiest pj pants and tank top that I wear ALL the time! But only at home when Im not going anywhere.
My grandma bought me these hilarious/awesome leopard-print satin pajamas with black velour on the cuffs and the collar. I wore them one year with a burgundy smoking jacket to be Hugh Hefner for Halloween — those pjs are definitely my favorite lounging outfit!
thanks for the reminder- I really should wash my beauty blender/brushes more often!
Hi karen! My cat is very affectionate π She is laying on my lap right now, but that’s probably because I have a blanket on me…
I actually just bought some stuff from Sephora for my makeup brushes. You spray it on, wipe your brushes and let them dry. I try to do that every day now! π
Powder eyeshadows, definitely. My eyelids are too oily for most creams!
When I’m staying in the house I laze around in pjs. Otherwise, leggings and flannel π
Ahhhh I’m prolly due for a brush washing, thanks for reminding me T_T

Powder eyeshadows!
My kitty is very affectionate but only to me. She likes to lay pressed up right up against me at all times but won’t lay on me or even step on me! She also doesn’t like being held or picked up.
I find rubbing alcohol dries the brushes out I was and use antibacterial on it
I’m starting a new job next week and just ordered a new perfume (YSL Parisienne). I’m looking forward to the changes this fall brings. Γ°ΕΈΛΒΊ
Have u tried melt cosmetics? I just got mine in the mail and I loooooove them!
If i’m not going out, i prefer just to wear a tshirt and pj pants. i have 5 kids, so no point in dressing up and its easier to chase after them this way
I prefer powder eyeshadow because cream shadow tends to crease on my super dry skin. Thanks for the giveaway!
studying for the gmat π
I think it’s been around 2 weeks since the last time I washed my brushes.
I hope I win this giveaway this time, my birthday is coming next week! ;D
I prefer both eyeshadows, because cream would make the color more pigmented and the powder would help set it.
Number of piercings: 9 and counting
Today I’m lounging around in yoga pants and a beat-up pink zip hoodie, with a sleepy great dane noggin in my lap.
My pet is terribly codependent, but he’s affectionate, yes. He likes to give me kisses.
I really, really, really cannot wait for Catching Fire to debut.
The worst job I ever had was a retail call center. I literally had someone call and scream “Where’s my shoes, b!tch?” and hang up. Worst job ever.
My fiancee and I went out to dinner last night without the kids=) It was so nice having wine glasses scattered on the table instead of crayons! haha

Im soooo exhausted after looking after mom-in-law n my son, both of who were unwell since 10 days…. Im sure Tabs would agree that I need, and deserve, a lovely body scrub, massage and wrap at a luxe spa…….sigh!
I love cats and animals in general!
I’m also a makeup addict and I wish I would own my own walk-in closet
Powder shadows and my pets are VERY affectionate
I haven’t washed my brushes in a while. Oops D:
I can draw well π but I haven’t really made a real drawing in a while.
Should wash my brushes, eh? XD
Powder eyeshadow only for me. As much as I want to love cream shadows, they always crease (even with primer), cake & highlight my wrinkles. π
I have no piercings and no tattoos! I don’t want any either.
I am hopeless at drawing!
My favorite outfit to lounge in with is my pyjamas. Home is where my heart is π

Washing brushes are such a chore! I have well over 100 brushes and know that the collection continues to accumulate bc i like to avoid washing them. o well. i now find myself washing a few at a time on Sundays. Dr. Bonner’s liquid soap every time. Cleans my skunk brushes and Beauty Blender the best.
I love to wear sweatpants and a tee to lounge around. So comfy!
Hey Karen!
I love your blog! I love all of the humor in it and of course, the pop culture references. Your post about the new Mariah Carey OPIs had me cracking up. I am a mostly unashamed Mariah fan too lol
Been washing my makeup brushes a lot more recently… washing the foundation brush especially seems to make a difference in my acne.
Do you recommend any of the Benefit holiday sets?

I love the random conversation starters, hehe…
My chihuahua is super affectionate; he will just crawl up my chest and into my arms for snuggles.
When I moved to Canada, the first job I was able to find was in a Supermarket at the deli section. Right on the second day I cut my finger very bad and couldn’t go to work for two days. I worked there for 3 months and was a nightmare. Got cut over 4 times the management was very bad. Felt so happy the day I quit!
I washed some of my brushes last night!
I love wearing oversized sweat pants, its so comfy! And its really cold today so I need them!!!
Happy Saturday!
I use powder shadows because it’s easier to spread and blend on my lips. cream never seems to go on smoothly for me.
I washed my brushes last weekend with Japonesque brush cleaner
i love both cream as well as powder π
I prefer cream eyeshadow, I find it much easier to apply.
I have five piercings in my ears, including the tragus. I also have a monroe piercing π

my favourite lounge clothes are a big tee, and no pants. LoL. there’s just something constricting about pants or shorts. maybe booty shorts would be ok, but MEH. hahha.
My favorite outfit to lounge around in is one that is both comfy but super cute… so, something I’d actually wear out! lol!
Just made the season’s first batch of chili… yum!
I’m not good at drawing at all (if you know what I mean. lol)
My pet is super affectionate! I just got back from a week away from him so Enzo is being super cuddly today (although now he’s chewing on an “I promise I’ll never leave you ever again!” treat from petsmart).
Benefit skinny jeans is my fave!
Wearing my new Charlotte Russe faux leather jacket in cognac today!
I haven’t washed my brushes in a while, I guess this is a reminder π
My dogs are super affectionate, all 3 of them are in the office with me right now! My husband calls them my shadows π

i need to get much, much better at washing my makeup brushes. luckily, i like cream eye shadows best, and those i can usually just put on with my fingers.
I like to lounge around in boxers and tops!
I like to lounge in scrubs.
I’m enjoying the heck out of lounging around in my new Old Navy sweatpants (these ones – I bought two pairs and still want more! http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=36107&vid=1&pid=649404012) and a t-shirt at home. A little chilly, but today is laundry day, so my hoodies and fleece are in the wash!
I’m all for the powder eyeshadow! I find that cream eyeshadows are too oily for my lids!
I have a confession to make – I’m a crazy bunny lady!!
I love your saturday giveaways!!!
Just washed my brushes last night!
the last time I washed my makeup brushes was last night!
Oh a pet question! I have a cat too, a fluffy furball I’m sooo in love with <3 she's a siberian cat,a sweetie, not a superglue-kinda-cat but very affectionate anyway!

I’m actually going to clean my brushes today once the mood starts kicking in π
I prefer powder eyeshadow over cream.
Um, I never wash my brushes, I just buy new ones, lol.
I have my ears pierced. I had my lips pierces and industrial pierced but I removed those. So, just the ears. The older I grow the less likely to have piercings I am. I guess it comes with maturity.
I’m debating to get another pair of piercing but I’m not 100% sure yet
I need to clean my brushes sometime today!~
Gravity was great.
My favourite makeup is eyeshadow for sure. Although I haven’t tried a lot of brands my go to has always been MAC
We got my daughter’s senior pics back and they look amazing! And she told me today that I look like I just stepped off a runway…so sweet!!

I have totally fallen in love with cream eyeshadow! Quick, sexy, easy and for an over 40 gal who works 12 hour shifts gotta love it π
Going down to Boston for my birthday tonight. Don’t care if no one else can come, don’t care if I’m going dancing alone, it’s been too long since I really celebrated my birthday and I’m going no matter what. π Looking forward to it.
I don’t have any piercings
Probably the worst job I ever had is the one I’m in right now. Parking enforcement. Yep. The hours and the work are fine, but the people I meed tend to be pretty darn hostile.
Powder eyeshadow for me, cream creases like crazy on my oily lids. I even tried a primer and nope it didn’t work
I randomly picked up the Elf 32 eye shadow palette since I’m tired of investing in shadows and then never using them. Plus I wasn’t ready to shell out 50 bucks for the Naked palette. The Elf one was such a deal and there’s so many options!
3 months ago, I would have for sure said powder eyeshadows, but I’ve been experimenting – Maybelline Barely Branded color tattoo and the new Dior fusion shadows are pretty amazing…
Cream eyeshadow! Especially Mabelline’s color tattoo line. They last all day on me.
Powder eyeshadows !
Kitten has feline leukemia π I don’t know how to keep my other 2 cats safe.
Woops, I should probably clean my brushes now actually haha!
Watching my recorded Project Runway episode!
My pets are super affectionate and also INSANE. One of my dogs likes to stand in the water bucket while she drinks– it’s a round bucket so she has to scrunch herself into the weirdest position to do this!
powder eyeshadow for me.
The last time I washed my brushes was way too long ago. I’ve been intending to do them for the last week and kept forgetting, you’ve reminded me so thanks!
Thanks!
I prefer powder eye shadows but currently loving all of Maybelline color tatooes.

I was my foundation brush every day, but I was my other brushes once a week.
I am fascinated by creme eye shadows and own most of the Maybelline Color Tattoos, but still don’t feel nearly as confident with it as I am with powder.
I love cream eyeshadows! Color Tattoo by Maybelline – the best!
well our two dogs can be called affectionate but they need to learn how to show it, our 9 weeks one is still nibbling while our 5 months one is to enthusiastic and her nails can be a pain when she start with her paws.
Worst job , working in a restaurant I had to be most of the time in the place where they washed the dishes, and old fashioned one.
I’m currently lounging in my favorite outfit for around the house: an old crewneck sweatshirt and a pair of Jockey sweatpants!
Julie recently posted … Love It or Toss It? #1
If I use a cream eyeshadow I have to use a good eye primer and then layer it over with a powder eyeshadow because just the eye primer and cream eyeshadow on it’s own I feel crease on me or transfer and make my eyes look weird.
I like lounging in soft comfy pants and a t-shirt when at home.
Powder eyeshadow for me.
My least favourite jobs were waitressing at a family restaurant and a data entry job when in high school.
I last washed my makeup brushes probably a few months ago.

I have my eye on the yu-be skin cream
I have really been into cream shadows. I’ve been using a medium blending brush and find it so easy to get my eye makeup done. Happy weekend!
I <3 your sassiness! π
Last time I washed my makeup brushes: probably a month ago:P which is so bad of me, but I’m gonna wash them today!
I like powder shadows but if cream shadows came in palettes like the Naked or something I’d probably like them just as much. It just costs so much to buy one color and I can’t seem to use it fast enough.

I have three piercings, two for my ears which are stretched and my medusa!
Powder eye shadow for sure! And I actually don’t have a single piercing. My parents made me wait until I was 13 to get my ears pierced and after spending years begging them… I hated it. LOL
hahhahaaa cant even remember the last time i washed my makeup brushes! oops!
My pets are very affectionate–of course, only if I have delicious delicious human food nearby…
I am obsessed with cream eye shadows right now. I cannot get enough of them. They are so easy to use and look so pretty on the eye.
I love lounging around in my yellow old navy pj pants. so comfy!
I’m actually about to go wash my brushes right now! I haven’t worn much makeup lately since I haven’t washed them yet, so I’m looking forward to clean brushes~
Have a good weekend!
Cream shadow any day π
I have 3 very sweet and loving cats…well two very sweet and loving ALL of the time, one will only be loving when he can get human food!
I just tracked down the new limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Pink – I’m so excited! It’s gonna be my go-to eye base for the winter – and possibly longer!
I love apple pie
Cream eyeshadow is my favorite!
I have recently discovered cream blushes and am a convert! My favorite is by Josie Maran in Poppy– but NYX in tea rose is pretty too.
I washed some brushes on thursday… however I need to wash some more tomorrow! =(
I layer powder over cream.
I last washed my brushes…..too long ago. But I have been spot cleaning!
Washed my brushes last week with dr. Bronner’s magic soap π
Cream Eyeshadow! I love Bobbi’s and MAC Paint pots.
My dog Phoebe is the sweetest thing and is always up for a snuggle. Recently she’s befriended a cat, whom she shares her food with and I’ve caught her rubbing noses with him.
My dog Carmella is super affectionate with me and strangers lol

No, I’m not good at drawing. I wish I was though.

I always layer a cream eye shadow under my powder shadows. This helps keep it all in place and enhance the powder shadows.

I’ve done nothing but OBSESS over Vice2 for the past two days! IN. LOVE.
The worst job I had was one in my field and in a museum in the Bay Area actually, but I had a bully female boss and she made it my least favorite job ever.
I’ve never tried cream shadows, so powder for me!
I have seven ear piercings, a tongue stud, and two other nonstandard decorations. I love them – had them for 15-20 years – and they’re all staying even when I’m old and gray.
It bugs me when people say they took their piercings out as a sign of “maturity”. I am sufficiently mature, thank you, and I have not felt the need to alter my aesthetics. Your choices may be different, but don’t judge mine. Grr. Rant over.
12 piercings!
Powder eyeshadows! I am just more comfortable blending and layering powders, and the couple of cream formulations I’ve tried tended to crease on my lids.
Overall I prefer powder eyeshadow, but I’m always in a rush at the moment and I find cream eyeshadow is so much quicker to put on.
I have a lot of High-End makeup but most of my holy grail products come from the drugstore! #NoShame
number of piercing: just two! but would love a nice cartilage piercing!
My cat isn’t very affectionate, but he does have his moments. He especially likes to snuggle if it is cold (he likes the warmth) or if he has had a fright.
Cream eye shadow is the best!
The last time I washed my brushes was.. one month ago? I think it’s time to wash them again!
My favorite lounge outfit would be my dinosaur kigurumi!
Hi! The last time I washed my brushes was just last night actually, they smell and look much better now π also my pet cat is extremely affectionate, she likes to snuggle next to me when we’re on the couch and likes to rub her head on my arms or legs just to show me she loves me.
My favorite outfit to lounge around in are my wool mint Christmas pants along with my big sweatshirt, and of course, bra-less!
I only have three piercings and they are all on my ears.
I love to lounge around in a tshirt and yoga pants. When it’s chilly I might trade the yoga pants for a pair of sweat pants.
Cream eyeshadow!
washed my brushes two weeks ago
I have my earlobes pierced and a cartilage piercing in my left ear (because two pieces of bling just aren’t enough!)
no piercings, no tattoos – though i do really want a tattoo. i suppose i am just taking my time to be sure i come up with the perfect lifelong design before i commit to it.
Cream or powder shadow? How about both… unless it’s the *perfect* color cream, I usually top it with powder to help set it.
My experience with cream eyeshadow has been mixed, so I’d say generally powder.
I hope you are having a great weekend!
Last week! Hassle to dry though. :/
I have 5 piercings, 2 holes in each ear & my belly button!
My favourite outfit to lounge around in is my gray and pink pajamas.
Worst job ever was the 24-hr customer service line for A Major Bank. Worst.job.ever. Ever!!
I hit the Clinique counter today, couldn’t resist the free gift with purchase.

I’m a huge fan of powder eyeshadows for the simple facts that they are so versatile. If I ever need that dramatically bold and rich pigmented color from a powder eye shadow, I could always add water.

Powder eyeshadows, hands down. Cream shadows crease too much (even with a base)

Karen, thank you for your thoughtful post on the controversy surrounding the NARS+Guy Boudin collection. I am trying to get out of a violent relationship and I won’t spend my money on anything that remotely says this is ok. Keep up the good work. Your website is my refuge on a bad day.
Sweatpants forever!
My pets are very affectionate. Especially when they wake up in the morning. Lots of snuggling and kisses are the best alarm clock ever.
I spend my weekends in leggings and an oversized sweater or my favorite NFL lounge pants π Powder shadows over creams for this girl…creams just don’t really do it for me.
I have two very affectionate Boston Terrier pups, Kali and Bailey. =) I also like both cream and powder shadow. Mac paint pots are perfect for primers!

Hi Karen, I have to say I prefer powder eyeshadows. My eye shape just makes blending cream eyeshadow inconvenient, and I prefer to use my fingers here.
Love to lounge around in comfy pjs and fluffy socks!
I actually washed my brushes last weekend! Of course, it had been nearly 4 months since the previous wash. =/ How often are you supposed to wash them?
Thanks for the great giveaway! π
pretty much after every use lol
I use powder eyeshadow. I just dont like the way the cream ones look on me.
I washed my brushes last weekend, and i probably should wash them again but i’m way too comfy right now in my new yoga pants (: whenever my brushes get too dirty is when i start doing my makeup with only my hands lol
I really want the a Naked Pallet from Sephora, It’s one of my dream items to have <333
My favorite outfit to lounge in is a tank top and boxer shorts.
I just washed my brushes last night. Dr. Bronner’s soap is the best, it gets everything off!
Definitely cream eye shadows – like the LM caviar sticks. Love those!
I sit around my house in capri-style lounge pants (so comfy!) and a baggy Jack Skellington shirt.
My ears are my only piercings. One hole in each. I’m toyed with the idea of a naval ring years ago but never followed through. I haven’t ruled it out forever though.
Victoria’s Secret ‘long jane’ PJs are my favourite thing to lounge in.
my cats are like most cats, affectionate on their own terms. which means, when i have all the time in the world to pet and play with them they want nothing to to with me. when i’m working, it’s play time!
I love creme eyeshadows, they’re so convenient and long lasting.
I have a Cockapoo named Nick, and he is very affectionate and loves meeting other people and dogs.
When was the last time you washed your makeup brushes?- I just washed them yesterday. I have not been wearing a lot of makeup lately but I still wash them once a week

Well this week I am lusting for the Laura Mercier Artist Palette for Eyes, and going back and forth on getting it now or waiting for a Sephora sale. I won’t get an invite to the F&F sale so would have to wait till November. Not sure what to do.
I love cream eyeshadows. They are just so easy to apply….You don’t even need a brush!
I love cream eyeshadow, and I am good at drawing! In fact, I’m considering minoring in art, since my mom is not cool with an art major daughter π
I LOVE to lounge in yoga pants and a form fitting tee. I’m comfy, yet don’t feel lazy!:)
I’ve been lazy and putting off washing my brushes…need to get on that soon!

WhatΓ’β¬β’s your favorite outfit to lounge around in? Yoga pants & a crewneck sweatshirt

What was the worst job you ever had? Despite a 20% discount, by far the one summer I spent as a salesgirl at Nordstrom.
How many piercings do you have? Three– two in one ear and one in the other

We’re all sick this weekend — boo!
I love to do a cream eyeshadow base with powder on top to set the color.
Hi, I’m from Italy, and I really wish to win! thank you for reminding me to wash my brush! π
I can draw with charcoal!!
I used to have a navel piercing.
Long-time lurker. My cat, Nicholas, likes to do his own thing, but everyday he makes sure to have one nap cuddling with me.
I washed my brushes this evening and I must say that higher quality brushes (like Mac, chanel or similar) not only are better at applying make-up but they also get cleaned better, it only take seconds to wash them and they rinse easily. You can totally see a difference between the brands!
Thanks for reminding me about the makeup brushes! I’m long overdue!
I prefer cream eye shadows. I find them way more nourishing.
It’s been far too long since I’ve washed my brushes – thanks for reminding me!
My me time is sleeping in on Sunday, having a cup of coffee and pampering with a face mask and probably painting my nails later. 8)
Hi Karen! What at Sephora has recently caught your eye?
I definitely need to wash my brushes tonight!! I love both powder and creme eyeshadows, it’s hard to choose a preference haha. I only have 6 piercings, 3 on each ear π My tragus piercings are my favorite!
Powder shadows, all the way! FTW!
I wish my cat were more affectionate, but I love her all the same!
Hi, I wached my make up brushes actually 2 days ago!! π
0 piercings!
my fav lounge outfit is sweatpants and a comfy t shirt and zip up hoodie
PS. you need to watch TLS’s Alaskan women looking for love, its an awesome new reality tv show!
PSS I am totally in love with Bath and Body works candle in Autumn Day. Totes recommend it!
i looove lash combs to apply mascara.
i’ve never won! would be great!
I washed my makeup brushes about 3 weeks ago. I really should wash them more often!
I have 5 piercings!
My cat’s name is Medusa and for good reason. She’s not super snugly.
My favorite thing to lounge in is my Gap Leggings.
My cat Smokey is super affectionate. He follows us around from room to room, so he can be with us, all of the time. He also does this thing where he sniffs between my eyebrows, and then gives me a big lick. He also tries to groom me…he starts licking my hand. It sounds really strange, but it’s so cute!! Thanks for another giveaway!!
I have 3 piercings on each ear only.
Does spritzing with brush cleaner count?
Cream eyeshadows when I can find a good one that doesn’t crease!
Just bought MAC Hibiscus Kiss with the RiRi packaging. It’s soooo pretty! Kind of sad fall is coming, but the colors remind me of vacation. Hard to resist coral makeup.
I love lounging around in my hubby’s silk pj pants and a cotton tank. SO comfy!
Hi Karen, right now I’m watching the Mexican version of The Voice; however I was watching the American version and I felt in love with Adam Levine he looks stunning with beard.
Hope my really random comment helps me win this day.

Nothing beats lounging around in comfy trackpants, hoodie and ugg boots!
I’m currently lounging in my favorite Lululemon leggings and Free People off the shoulder top – the best lounge outfit while my husband watches football all day. It’s the best time to catch up on my favorite beauty blogs!
I have a new, 4 month old puppy, and not only is she the most affectionate thing ever, she screams bloody murder whenever I leave the room. Makes me feel very loved, but the neighbors are starting to hate me:)
I really suck at drawing the most I can do is stick figure. those look good enough lol. I wish I could remember when I washed my brushes, but I’m so bad that I get behind with things and keep forgetting to.
I used to have a cat called Diamond and he loved to cuddle and play. He was such a sweetie pie π
I have two kitties and they are crazy affectionate! Though they do love to play with my expensive brushes >:(
I prefer creams eyeshadows if they dont crease
Im soooo bad about washing my brushes. I need to do this!
Favorite outfit to lounge in…my fluffy penguin pajamas π
Thanks as always for the giveaway! Speaking of painting nails,I am SO excited for Gwen Stefani’s upcoming OPI nail lacquer collection!!
Ahh, let’s see… makeup brushes. How I loathe to wash thee, but I did just do so last night. I don’t wear makeup everyday thankfully, or else I’d probably end up neglecting to do so as often as I should. They gotta make an easier way.
My dog is my cuddle buddie… my cat on the other hand is the complete opposite.
I prefer powder eyeshadows.
I swear I’m always in my PJs when I’m at home…
Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
I want!
Washing my brushes this week, must have!
Love your blog! Definitely powder eyeshadows, but cream aren’t bad either!
I think it is important to buy more brushes to avoid cleaning them for as long as possible.
I am in my favorite lounge outfit! Pajamas! π
My cats are very loving but onlywhen they want to be!
I prefer powder eyeshadow.
Favorite outfit to lounge in: yoga leggings and a large t-shirt! π
Wash my brushes every week, or at least once every two weeks
Love giveaways!
I prefer cream eye shadow, like maybelline tatoo or mac paintpot, i love them!!!
Thanks for another awesome giveaway, Karen! π Hope that you’re having a great Monday. It’s Canadian Thanksgiving over here, so it’s very relaxing, and soon I’ll be eating some great food – can’t wait!
karen i love naked 1 alias loved that picture you did with Tabs, appreciated even more my love for her
The tabs are my hero and you love it too!

I only have my ears pierced.
the worst job i ever had was when i was 16 and i worked at a supermarket
I love to lounge in my yoga pants from Old Navy and a t-shirt
Cream eyeshadow! I can never quite get powder eyeshadow to look good on my lids!
I washed my makeup brushes last night!
Got my eye on those awesome Sephora kits!
Went apple picking this weekend. Now I want an orchard. haha
I prefer powder shadows because they’re easier for me to blend. I do love some cream shadows for just a quick wash of color.
I love cream shadow but tend to reach more often for powder on a daily basis. If I’m in a hurry, cream is the way to go!
I use cream and powder shadows. Love them both. And for lounging – old soft t-shirt and shorts
I am good at drawing. My son would sit in my lap for hours and I’d draw him all kinds of things. He loved trains the best and started drawing them himself at the age of 4. When he started school I’d draw characters from books we’d read on his lunchbag.
Fav cream eyeshadow is Two Cents by Benefit n___n and maybelline tattoo in pomegranate punk
I love to lounge around in a night gown…is that weird?
I used to only use powder eyeshadows, but recently I have been buying more of the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hours shadows because I love the color payoff. I’m still teaching myself how to use them to get the most out of them and so far, I like the smooth cream consistency π
Definitely powder eyeshadow but maybe I just haven’t tried a good cream shadow yet!
Sweatpants to lounge around in, of course!
So… My birthday is coming up! It’d be awesome to win this =D
Lately, I’ve been all about the cream eyeshadow.
I have oily skin, so I always use powder eyeshadow. Primer is a must! Otherwise my eyeshadow melts into the crease, within a few hours.
yay!
Powder eyeshadow, no piercings, zero talent for drawing !
I love cream eyeshadow!
I would love this gift card to FINALLY try the YSL Babydoll mascara!!
i hardly wash my makeup brushes :S i know i know.. i shud!!!
i lounge around in boxers and a shirt! hehehe which i m doing now!
happy thanksgiving!
I cannot draw to save my life! Powder eyeshadow! When I was younger, I had my tongue pierced.
My comment today will be that I am craving a big ol fancy cupcake from the cupcake shop the next town over. I have been so hungry all afternoon for junk food but a cupcake would really take the cake (ha!). Hopefully I can stave off my craving with some carrots or something after work and won’t succumb to the sugarbomb… although my attempts to resist in the past have been futile. Happy Monday, Karen and Tabs! Thanks for doing these giveaways!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Love it!
My dog loves my husband more than me even though I am the nice, loving one! Makes me so frustrated!
First of all thank you for such a lovely giveaway . I have two resue kitties they are my world.
It takes me so long to get settled in and start my homework – which is what I should be doing now.
I am obsessed with pretty eyeshadows, however, I never have tried out cream eyeshadows before. I have oily lids, so I’m afraid they will crease throughout the day.
Powder formula all the way.
I need to buy the BE A to Z
My dog is incredibly affectionate. My cat is very loving, but she is not a lap cat.
Had a day off from work today. Got some Chipotle for lunch and cleaned my bathroom lol!
I have been waffling back and forth about getting a tattoo to cover my heart surgery scar since my surgery at 39. I’m 49 now and I think I know what the big 50 present will be to myself!
I don’t wash my brushes nearly as often as I should
I love to sit around in my shark onesie!
Love combination of powder and cream eye shadow mix!
Looking fwd to using all the autumnal shades now that the weather has changed π
So happy it is finally cool enough to wear my sweaters!
I don’t have very many excuses to be in loungewear because I’m in and out of the door so often, haha! I did have some relaxed study-time at home today, so I stayed in my cozy pajamas- lace sleep shorts, an XL tank top, and too many pairs of wool socks!
I have two piercings in each ear! I used to have my septum and a couple uh… other inappropriate ones. Hehe.
I just gave my dog a bath for the day, since my dog has an infection on his left back paw he wasn’t able to walk for a whole 7 months properly but he seems to walk pretty well today so I’m very excited for him!
Powder eyeshadow all the way.
I’m not one to usually wear eyeshadow, but when I do, it’s cream eyeshadow! π
I love cream eyeshadows, and I washed my makeup brushes yesterday!
Only about 5 hours and 14 minutes until the lucky person is announced for the giveaway! Super excited π and also I ate some Pumpkin Spice Cake which is the best cake out there! Definitely my favorite treat during Thanksgiving, it beats the good old pumpkin pie for sure π
Finally got the Chanel Taboo nail polish the other day…OMG. It’s lasted five days without chipping and that’s with doing lots of hand washing, diapers, etc. Most polishes chip within 24 hours, but not this one. The one coat of coverage is fantastic too (if I forget what my husband’s face looked like when I told him the price! Yikes!) I think I have a new favorite polish line!
Definitely powder eyeshadow, esp. MAC. I have 5 piercings, can’t draw a lick of anything! Hello from Jamaica.
Definitely powder eye shadow. I’ll get excited about cream shadows initially, but the reality is that I usually just reach for a powder!

I like the convenience of cream shadow – but always get better results with powder.
powder eye shadow!
I don’t think I’ve ever used a cream eyeshadow I love, so I’m gonna have to pick powder!
My cat is sometimes affectionate. Only when she wants to be, which is usually at night, when I’m trying to sleep π
Powder eyeshadow!
Whew, made it just in time to enter. And thanks for the reminder to wash my brushes, I think it’s been two weeks since I did a full cleaning.
