Beauty Snacks: Sites of the Day, Dec. 17

December 17th, 2008 by Karen 16 Comments


Designer Karl Lagerfeld strikes a pose with models from the Chanel 2009 Ready to Wear Show in Paris

When I Grow Up

As much as I wish it weren’t true, the day will come again when I’ll need to look responsible for something like a job interview. When that day comes, I hope I’m dressed from head to toe in something stylish yet practical like the gorgeous fixin’s from the Chanel Spring 2009 collection. HAWT!

Gimme, Gimme… Internetz

Welcome to the future, where 46 percent of American women and 30 percent of their male counterparts say they’d prefer to have to go without sex for two weeks than be deprived of Internet access for the same length of time. Brutal.

Dear Santa,

Please bring Tabs a lil’ kitty brother or sister for Christmas. PLEASE!

Smooth Skin Is Just a (Homemade) Sugar Scrub Away

YUM! These recipes for homemade sugar scrubs sound good enough to eat.

Unruly Brows, Meet Your Match

My brows are like mandrake roots, LOL! They tend to jut off at weird angles. I need to hit the drugstore for a tube of Maybelline Define-a-Brow, stat!

Sweet Sleep Smells

Do you have trouble getting a good night’s sleep? Me too! Maybe we need to fill our rooms with roses and lavender.

Hope you’re having a great hump day morning so far. If you’re reading this between the hours of 9AM-2PM PST, I’m in a jumbo jet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, dreaming of makeup, cheesy teen fiction and my beloved fussy tabby. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Did you catch the season finale of Blush on Lifetime last night? What did you think of Nolan? Or the shocking news about Todd?

    AAACCCKKKKKK be weary about jurlique skin products !!!

    they are ridiculously expensive they do great on the skin but since they are completely organic lets just say the products dont smell the best lol

    i do the retouching for this brands ads and i usually have a ton of their products at hand they do work lovely on the skin but if scent is critical for you this is not the route to go

    i have their lavender mist its far from what i’d expect of a lavender scent 🙁

    just my advice and opinion though i am sure there may be others who love it

    Awwwwwww! A little sibling for Tabs! I so envy you and the possibility for bringing home another cat. Our landlord is very firm on his two cat limit. Did you know a group of kittens is called a kindle, and a group of cats is a clowder?

    I have been hoping for the past 20 years that my mom would have a little brother or sister for me lol. Since that won’t be happening, I hope Tabs gets one 🙂

    P.S. I was SO happy that Nolan won last night. He was one of my favorite contestants. I wish I could have him as my personal makeup artist/BFF

    I hope Santa stops by the Marin Humane Society to pick up another little kitty for you and Tabs. They’re all so adorable it made my heart melt!

    Hi Yadiq,

    I’ve tried a few of their things and I like the “earthy” smell they have.

    That’s cool that you get to work on beauty campaigns! Are there any that you really had fun doing?

    Hi Tami,

    Me too! I like how he’s always smiling and he just seems so nice. I want to hang out with him so he can tell me all his makeup secrets.

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).
