Win a $50 MAC eGIFT CARD from Makeup and Beauty Blog

Good morning, glory. Happy caturday! Meows all around.

So, I watched a surprisingly entertaining movie on iTunes last night called Love, Rosie, and I thought you should know about it…just in case you’re ever in the mood for something light and fluffy that also happens to star the guy who played Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

You know, just in case you need something that meets all three of those important criteria — light, fluffy and starring Finnick Odair. 🙂

It wasn’t bad! I mean, OK, it only gets a 26% on rottentomatoes, but I swear, it’s better than that.

In other news, I’m driving into the city this morning to have breakfast with my brother, and my most difficult decision at the moment is whether I should order the buckwheat pancakes, or the huevos rancheros.

Hmm… I might end up getting both, ’cause that’s how I roll.

Have a great weekend, whatever you’re up to, and may it be filled with cats.

Prize

    • shopping this weekend…just purchased the Tarte Showstopper palette and I love all of it but am a little hesitant about the shimmery eye shadows since I have hooded eyes. Hoping to be convinced I can make it work! Other shopping this weekend? I may stop by Ulta for a pair of false eyelashes and some mascara. I’m sure other things will fall in my cart too!

  2. Here Rainbows End, also known as Love, Rosie, by Cecilia Ahern is the book that the film is based off of.

    If you have any spare time, I would highly suggest reading the book. The premise is similar to the film in that Rosie and Alex are best friends but the entire book is a collection of letters and emails between them. The storyline is different because it’s drawn out over a longer period of the characters’ lives.

    Miss Dior reminds me of my mother.

  6. Hi all,
    The scent that reminds me the most of my mom is Chanel Mademoiselle – she’s been wearing it for as long as I can remember and to this day I haven’t found a perfume that I love as much as that one.
    Also the scent of jasmine…it used to grow right outside of my childhood home 🙂

  7. Karen & Tabs – Your suggestion questions are too deep for Saturday morning! I am still on the hunt for the world’s best lip primer & loving my new friend Bette from Nars!!

  8. Chanel #5 reminds me of my mom and she wears it better than anyone I’ve ever met. There’s something about her body chemistry and Chanel #5, it smells really nice on her.

    I bought some CND Vinylux nail polish off Ebay. The seller has an Ebay store with several listings, you can pick 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 12 colors. All the reviews for the seller said it was legit so I bought 6 and I’m pleased to say they are real. For the price I was concerned they’d be fakes. If they are fake, they are GOOD fakes. Anyway, I’m convinced this is the closest I can get to gel without actually getting a gel manicure. This stuff is AH-MAZING. I also bought a Da Bird from Amazon for my cats. I have a pair of jeans from LOFT that I need to exchange, I saw they are running a 50% off in stores today. I don’t have time to go today though, that’s probably better anyway. I’d just end up buying more and my husband would roll his eyes.

    Have a great Caturday, I love going out for breakfast.

  9. In Spanish the word for gossip is “chisme”, its funny that some Spanish and Tagalog words are the same or similar-yes I know about Philippino history..I work with so many Phillipina nurses and I absolutely adore them

  15. Shalimar and Samsara were my mother’s signature perfumes. Also, she always used Jergens lotion and everytime I use it, I think of her.

  16. I would love to live forever, if my daughter could as well. I fell like I never have enough time with her, and the time I do is so busy. Poor thing is sick this weekend (she’s 2) which is how I got time to read one of my favorite blogs! She adores makeup and beauty stuff just like I do!

    Reply

  21. What scent reminds you of your mom?
    Her scent! She didn’t wear any particular perfume on a daily basis. Actually in some way it’s a good thing that it’s not something I can smell anymore, It would have made me cry every time I did! :\

    Did you do any shopping this week? What did you get?
    Got a shirt at lord and taylor on wednesday and I’m about to stop at sephora on my way to work to stock up on some essentials…aka the beautyblender solid cleanser and Kat Von D’s tattoo liner!

    Have you ever gotten into a big argument with someone at work?
    No, but I’ve had customers that were very rude if that counts…probably not, cause I wasn’t arguing with them!

    Would you rather 1) live forever, or 2) live a normal length of time but never need to sleep?
    I would live a normal life span and not sleep. I’ve read about too many immortal characters, I’ve learned my lesson!

  22. I certainly did do some shopping,Last Night I bought the the New Miss Manga Rock mascara because I adore the original so I figured I’d give this one a try.

  23. So, my mom loves the smell of roses, so she’s always buying rose scented air fresheners and diffusion oil things for the house. But while I think of my mother when I think of rose scented things, the scent itself doesn’t remind me of her, the smell of an old shampoo she used to use does. Of course, I have no idea what shampoo it is. There’s a rose scented shampoo from herbal essences, but it isn’t that. Maybe some kind of lavender thing?

  29. chismis You mean Chismes en Spanish? I think if you wan to explain the pronunciation It would be more cheese – mes,
    wich means gossip: things that are not true, or people that loves tell stuff that happened to other people.

  56. I did some shopping at MAC this week, I finally finished the eyeshadow side of my double palette! I ended up finishing it with copperplate and brown script, two shades I wouldn’t have picked on my own but the makeup artist helping me showed me and I ended up loving! I also picked up blushbaby for the blush side of my palette. Now I just have 3 more blush pans to get and my palette will be complete!

  66. Guerlain’s Shalimar always reminds me of my Mom. She’s worn it as long as I can remember. I still have one of her old empty perfume bottles – they’ve changed them up a bit to make them look a bit more modern I guess? 🙂
    I was in at WalMart yesterday, and they look like they are clearing out the last of the Wet ‘n Wild cosmetics that they have. All that was left were nail polishes and some lipsticks, 2 for $3, so of course I had to buy 2 lipsticks, lol. Bought a pale shimmery pink one and a bright fuschia – which is a bit outside my comfort zone, but for that price it was time to try it 🙂
    p.s and I ended up LOVING the fuschia 🙂

  67. I would rather live for a normal amount of time without having to sleep. Needing to sleep, while my favourite hobby, takes a lot of energy out of me and sometimes makes me drop everything I’m doing for a lil’ nap time! I’d be so much more productive if I never slept…
    Have an awesome weekend!

  68. In store shopping wise I did some grocery shopping, boring. Although I did pick up some delicious orange sorbet dreamsicles! I stopped by Walgreens to pick up some medicine and saw that Shea Moisture’s products were on sale for bogo free. I picked up two bars of their African Black Soap. Last night I ordered an eyeshadow palette from Morphe, hope I like it! Bite the lipstick bullet and also ordered some lipsticks from Colour Pop!

  71. Hi Karen! Hope you have fun eating out with your brother today! I tried to go “retro” shopping this week because it was Spirit Week at my school, and I wanted to do a 80’s inspired Madonna look. All that I was able to find last minute at the local mall were those fingerless gloves, bracelet bangles, and a semi-poofy skirt. I think I did ok, but I forgot to put a fake mole on my upper lip. Oh well, better luck next time!

  86. I did some shopping for my son for his birthday. I got a really good deal online at toysru for a scooter that was 50% off plus it came with $10 worth of shipping (so shipping only ended up costing me 77¢) and I also bought him some clothes online at Old Navy. I also got a good deal on that as I signed up for their emails and received a 20% off code. Everything I bought was on sale. My total before using the code was $50.50 which allowed me to choose free shipping. In total, after shipping and taxes, I only ended up paying abut $43.

  93. OMG, it is so funny that you asked that question about living forever. Some random person came up to me at my job (I’m a librarian), and asked if I wished to be immortal. I responded “No. I don’t chase death but I’m not trying to live forever either.” I’d give up sleep. 🙂

  96. Shiseido skin care reminds me of my mom. 🙂
    Shopping – just back from the mall, bought a cute Minnie Mouse shirt from The Disney Store and from Sephora, Gradual self-tanning body lotion (I hope it works!) and some eye masks. Also bought the new Lancôme cushion foundation but will need to exchange it, I noticed that in the sun there was a huge color discrepancy between face/neck and we can’t have that!
    Big argument with someone at work? Not really – not worth it.
    Gosh, I love to sleep but I don’t want to live forever, unless it means I can sleep a lot.

    Right now I am in throes of moving closer to work. That means re-vamping my spending habits. while packing/moving I found Karma cream, it’s a body creme from the LUSH store. It reminds me of my mother in the summer, so I am gifting it to her when I visit her in the coming week. 🙂

  182. I’ve spent TOO much time shopping this week. Makeup hauls are making my wallet very sad but turning my own frown upside down haha. Seeing pretty little eyeshadows and palettes just puts in me in a delightful mood.

  186. Jessica McClintock perfume always reminds me of my mom’s scent. Yep I went shopping to get paper towel and bathroom tissue (ran out when I was gonna use it,oups lol). Not big argument just small disagreement with my boss,we’re both stubborn maybe bcoz we’re both in same astrological sign,is that bad or good thing?

  193. My mom’s signature perfume scent is Calvin Klein’s Euphoria. It smells heavenly on her but somehow smells godawful on my tricky skin…I swear there’s like only two perfumes that my skin won’t reject. ugh, the struggle…but on the happy end, this keeps me on budget lol

  197. This week, I bought a compact from MAC and ordered Instigator from the new matte collection online, which I’m really looking forward to getting next week! I also bought a black braided strap maxi dress from Forever 21 and a pair of silver hammered studs from Windsor.

    I graduated from college in June 2014 and will be starting law school in August, so I’ve been spending my year off enjoying and indulging in all the things I won’t be able to do once I start law school. Shopping is definitely one of those things, since I will neither have the time nor money to do it come August!

    Perfumewise, Dior Jadore reminds me of my mom. The smell of matzo ball soup will also make me think of her.

  201. My mom actually is sensitive to strong scents so doesn’t wear anything perfume wise. So of course I love smelly things! Perfume, lotions, shower gels, home fragrance, and what not. I hope breakfast was super nummy and I would’ve chosen the huevos rancheros b/c eggs and spiciness.

  205. Pancakes – yum!

    The scent of Safeguard soap reminds me of my mom. She’s used that brand of soap forever, including cleaning her face with it. I’m surprised at how good her skin looks (she’s 70 something) since that’s a pretty harsh deodorant soap.

There’s also The Body Shop warehouse sale which I raided for my hair products. Love their Rainforest line, and with my thinly stranded hair, I need products that are silicon-, sulfates- and paraben-free. Normally, they cost an arm and a leg, like $26 for a big bottle of shampoo. At the sale, the same bottle was only $10! Hoarding galore!

Your blogs help me decide if a beauty product is worth buying or just some fancy not worth the hype 😉 I also get to try out your food recipe,like that zuchini noodles. Didnt went well,but it taste ok for humans. Haha! Anyways, Ive been loving MAC lipsticks basically, cause theyre MAC. We dont have Sephora here in the Philippines. Yep, thats sad and just really sad. We end up ordering it via onlineshops (i.e Instagram) cause again, most online beauty store dont ship here- another sad story again. Youre blog always takes me to makeup dreamland (if there is one haha! ) Anyways, Maraming salamat ( thats thank you in tagalog) for your blogs and your funny puns. Haha!

    My mother is the person who inspired my perfume passion- her two favorites are Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Tom Ford Black Orchid.
    From my childhood she always had spicy-vanilla perfumes on, so fragrances in that category will always remind me of her. She also has been wearing Aveda hair products for many years, so that distinctive “Aveda” smell reminds me of her!
    She always smells divine. 🙂
