Goood morning, glory! Rise and shine! 🙂 You’re going to have a wonderful day.

I hope you slept well. I feel like I could have slept longer, but you know how it is when you work for a demanding feline employer. The early cat catches the bird. The tabby alarm clock woke me up early because we have to get out there on patrol. It’s bright and sunny this morning, so who knows how many cat intruders have infiltrated the perimeter of the hill…

Oh! — that movie last night? Inside Out? What an amazing movie, animated or otherwise. From this one (part-time) adult’s point of view, I thought it was brilliant. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a movie more thoughtfully present joy, depression, fear, anger and general adolescence, at least not in a way as entertaining as this. I kept thinking, “Holy crap! That’s really what it’s like!” when they’d show one of the characters overjoyed or depressed. Highly recommended for children of all ages. I think it’s right up there with Pixar’s best.

In other news, are you doing anything for Father’s Day tomorrow? My brother and I are taking my dad out to lunch, but I’m not sure where yet. My dad is kind of picky when it comes to food, so we’re going to let him pick the restaurant. Chances are it’ll be something involving charred meat, and I’ll just go with the flow… Hopefully there will be some semblance of veggies involved.

Good luck in the giveaway, my friend. Have a great weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon.

    The toughest person I know is probably my mom! She’s been through a lot, in 1 year she went from stage 3B breast cancer to being practically “cured,” she has had ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease for more than ten years, a lot of financial difficulties, and she had to deal with me as a teenager! Despite that she’s still able to be optimistic, outgoing, silly and goofy!

    I have a really good imagination, I’m a professional daydreamer!

    Even if I’m just leaving the house to go to the grocery store, I still put on some makeup. I feel totally naked without it. The barest I’ll go is blemish and under eye concealer, tinted moisturizer (the Laura Mercier one has pretty good coverage), tinted brow gel, bronzer, and lip balm. That’s a pretty rare look for me, I almost always wear real foundation.

    I was pretty young when I first got a cell phone, since my house was a few miles from my school and me and my brother walked too and from school every day. My mom wanted us to be safe. I can’t remember exactly how old I was but it was definitely in middle school A pale pink Motorola Razor flip phone! I was the envy of all my friends.

    I would definitely use the 10 pan palette more, since I rarely do the same makeup look more than a few times! I will always pick the more versatile option. I would feel stifled by only having a few shades!

    What’s your go-to lazy day makeup look?

    NOTHING

    How old were you when you got your first cell phone?

    23

    Which would you use more: a good eyeshadow quad or an amazing 10-pan palette?

    I NEED THAT AMAZING 10 PAN PALETTE.

    I think a lot of problems I run into with eyeshadow palettes is that so many colors don’t suit ME. I’d rather own an eyeshadow quad with colors I’d use every day, rather than something that I’d only use half of.

I used to make my mom buy me those Coach phone charms they used to sell every time we went to the outlet mall.

    On days when I’m just not feeling putting on a lot of makeup, when I’ve only got a couple minutes, I’ll still put on powder (I have really oily skin, and my lotion tends to make me a little shiny), and I’ve got a tinted lip balm. A slightly fancier version of that includes eyeliner, and then maybe some mascara depending on how dramatic my eyeliner is.

    Went to see the new Jurassic Park – “Jurassic World” film last night and considering all the hype surrounding it I feel quite let down. The original was fantastic the second film was great but after that the ideas are old, overused and very unoriginal and repetitive.

Many days are not easy but I keep going. I try to… as of late it’s been difficult. Money’s tight and this world is rough. I really hate this world. I hate cell phones, it’s changed the world. No one talks to anyone anymore. It’s very sad. My latest blog was about exactly this. People don’t make friends – they hide behind this false sense of security these devices give. They’re just few real people anymore – and this s make me intensely sad.

    A big palette wins for me because I like options, with 2 or three palettes I can come up with multiple different looks. And it’s easy when traveling. (I am one that doesn’t skimp on makeup when I travel. I don’t care if it takes up a lot of room. I have a medium sized carry on that I use for my makeup and hair products)

    Happy Saturday Karen and Mr. Tabs,

    Nothing much going on this Saturday for me but I’ll be catching up on some movies , so I guess it’s a: “Netflix kinda day” for me. Paddington and Still Alice have been set up shop in my home and I’m either going to watch them or see if I can get room and board out of them as long as they’ve been here. I’m looking forward to watching ‘Inside Out’ , because I’m a kid at heart (even at my age) and Pixar never disappoints.
    My go-to lazy day makeup look usually consists of: spot treating w/ a little concealer, few dabs of bb cream, lashes and nude gloss. Nothing spectacular, but it does give me room in case I need to dress it up on the spur of the moment.

    Have a wonderfully blessed and laid back Saturday.

    Hey Karen!
    As an aspiring MUA, I would love a Sephora gift card to keep me on my way to fulfilling my dream! Currently still in school studying and working on my portfolio! Focusing mostly on bridal and fashion, although my mentor worked on “Republic of Doyle” (popular TV show in Newfoundland) as well as multiple other TV shows, therefore, I’m looking forward to shadowing him on set and maybe working more towards TV and Special FX. Right now as a full-time student as well as a full-time waitress, money is tough. A little goes a long way! I would probably buy FX cover drops as I’m dying to try them or maybe sort through the sale items as I’m always looking for a good bargain!
    Lots of love from the little Canadian island of Newfoundland!

    2. A lazy makeup day is just brows and lip gloss. Just enough to look like I didn’t just roll out of bed.

    3. The 10 pan palette would get more use but only if it were truly amazing. I’d rather have 4 shades I like and will wear than a palette with 10 shades and only 2 I like.

    It seems interesting that Fathers Day is tomorrow as my Grandpa was the strongest man I know. He lost his father at age 11 (or so) when his father was electrocuted in a freak accident. He then quit school to try to help his mother and two younger siblings make ends meet. At 17 he joined the Army (war time) but was sent home as he was too young. For years he helped to support them, his own wife and 6 children. He worked his way up the ranks in General Motors…with only that 6th grade education and when he retired at 62 he had a very good job in management. Such a strong, hard working man that passed away one year after his retirement. Miss and love you Granpa.

I usually do more but if I must run out before I have time to really get ready I at least do this. Don’t want to scare any little kiddos, most of all mine. 🙂

But the circumstances at home are not the best for him,and the other two dogs and also the Rooster,make it not easy for us to keep him 🙁 I just hope he is not disappointed.

    Lazy day makeup always starts like this: “I’ll just put on some foundation and mascara. It’ll take 5 mins!” 40 mins later: Full Face. Makeup is a creative outlet for me (no matter my destination). Once I start, I can’t stop! So truly lazy day makeup is no makeup at all. I don’t mind going out bare faced, especially if I’m pressed for time.

    I have since upgraded to a smart phone.

    My signature Smokey Eye used to be a hit when it wasn’t so popular! A good eyeshadow quad and I could combine whatever colors to come up with a really cool ombre look. Eye makeup is so much fun!

    I have a REALLY hard time doing lazy girl make-up now. But in college I did a lot of lazy girl make-up. Gross, I know, but I would start with the fresh canvas of last night’s foundation and powder and apply a light dusting of powder. Then, I would run a mascara comb through my lashes, re-curl them, and apply a fresh coat of mascara. And finish with lip gloss. Voila! Nowadays I’m very black or white. I either go full out makeup or nothing at all. I wish I could settle for a happy medium sometimes! I take pride in my makeup skills and I either want it fierce and fabulous or nothing at all.

    I have been sick since i was 6 yrs old with ulcerative colitis. Ive had 6 major surgeries recently to have my colon large int n partial small int. removed. Ive spent over a 175 weeks in the hospital. And yet the most depressing part with chemo was recently (after 4 years on it) losing my hair! I had long thick beautiful blonde hair, ppl literally would ask if id sell it! And in a matter of 2 weeks it was all gone! I live on disability and medicaid, so makeup isnt in my budget. A smile is my greatest form of makeup! But itd be so amazing to win $50 towards makeup and splurge on myself, and highlight the features that are now all i have without hair. Dont get me wrong i want no pity party i believe its how we take the challenges were given and how we grow from them. Were only as strong as our toughest battle but this would be amazing. ☺️

On a normal, busy workday I often just put some brown shadow & liner on and go, but when all I have to do is go grocery shopping, I’ll do electric blue cat eyes with foundation and brows and lipgloss and the whole shebang. Why not, right?

    I prefer 10-pan palettes over quads any day. I just like to have choices even if I typically end up using 4 out of the 10 pans anyway. I had a pager when I was a freshman in college, it was like a pre-cursor to texting. People were just using it to send jokes, my mom would send messages asking me when I’d get home, etc. Then after about a year, GSM phones became a thing and I bought a second hand Nokia banana type phone (the one in the Matrix movie) and I loved that thing for years!

    Who’s the toughest person you know?

    Do you have a good imagination?
    -Oh, yeah! Reading Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings will do that for ya.
    What’s your go-to lazy day makeup look?
    -Vaseline (yep!) on my brows, lips and lashes. Good for chapped lips and for light blondes who want some eye definition but don’t have any time to apply mascara and brow powder/pencil properly.
    How old were you when you got your first cell phone?
    -16
    Which would you use more: a good eyeshadow quad or an amazing 10-pan palette?
    -I guess a 10-pan neutral palette would be basically all I will ever need. I have some beautiful, fun single eye shadow colors I almost never wear, so my next big makeup investment will likely be something similar to UD’s Naked palettes (but cheaper)!

    My lazy look is chapstick. It’s all I’ve been wearing lately unless I have somewhere to go.

    It mostly depends on the color and price on whether I’d go for the quad or the palette. Palettes are more versatile, but with quads you don’t really need to think to put together a look, so they both have their place.

    Hey girl, nice questions.

    I would have to say, my favorite lazy / everyday makeup look is:

    1. layer on nars creamy concealer under my eyes, on my chin (damn acne scars1) and some on my lower cheeks
    2. use my absolute fav BB cream, the tinted BB moisturizer from tarte. Ive had this for months and use it everyday and still have so much left! Its amazing
    3. I use either becca skin perfector OR bronzer (nars multiple stick). I usually get too lazy to do both on daily basis.
    4. again, ill use either “they’re real” mascara or kat von d tattoo liner. Too lazy to do both.
    5. spray with urband decay all nighter
    6. apply ciate lip stain in a coral nude

    walk out the door with a smile!

    I think I was 35 or 36 when I got my first cell phone. I kept saying that they were silly, I would never use one, didn’t want to be available at all times, they were just so annoying and rude to use in public. Then my wife came home with one for just her, and within a week it was mine, I couldn’t go anywhere without it, it was just so handy! She is still the one that always upgrades and has the newest shiniest toys, while I have one that I have had for 3, almost 4 years, and it needs replaced, but as long as I have one I am happy. Although I keep the ringer turned off more times than not, I just don’t like always being available, but I do like being able to see who called so I can call back later at my convenience. 🙂

    16, when I started driving that’s when I was allowed a phone, mostly for emergencies. Back when Nokia’s were bricks and lasted forever

    I was 19 when I got my first cell phone, and it was HUGE. Kids now have them at 12, crazy how times have changed.

    I love a good eyeshadow quad! So much more travel-friendly, and keeps it simple!

    Karen, I’ve never commented before but I read your blog EVERY DAY. Love it. And I don’t need anymore make up in my life. I think my husband would divorce me. lol So, no more quads, pallettes, etc! And I don’t do lazy makeup. It starts out lazy and then I just keep adding and blending and adding and blending, then I need bronzer, blush, lip liner, etc. So I’ve given up on that dream of ever having “an easy makeup day.” haha

    I can’t wait to see that movie, too! Looks so adorable. The toughest person I ever met was my mom, Janet. She had polio when she was 5, and tons of surgeries cuz they didn’t know what it was. But she grew up, married and had 3 kids. And we never really noticed that she always was sitting down or that by the time we were 8, we were taller than her. She could do anything, drive, swim like a seal, do volunteer work, whatever she wanted, she did. She was an amazing woman and I’m happier to have known her and even more thrilled to have been her daughter! 🙂

    The toughest person I know is my mom, hands down. She raised 4 kids on her own, through health problems and all the rest of the bumbs that come with single parenthood times 4. She still has 2 kids at home and a granddaughter, and she still keeps pushing. She’s a truly amazing person.

    Thanks for the giveaway Karen! Since I had some flooding in my apartment & had to pack up all my makeup (nothing major was damaged, thankfully!) I’ve been doing my lazy makeup erryday since I can’t work up the energy to unpack. Brows, BB cream, a little concealer, benetint, powder, mascara. Tinted lip balm finishes the look, easy peasy. 🙂

    I think I’d prefer to have an eyeshadow palette just to have more variety. I’d love for urban decay to make versions of the naked palettes to fit specific eye colors!

    My lazy go to makeup look is more just to streamline my routine on days off/lazy days. I will moisturize, skip primer and just use powder or a bb cream, apply a little bronzer or blush, then use Urban Decay’s eye-shadow in sin. It’s an easy apply with your fingers kinda shadow that stands on its own. Then I will finish with mascara and call it good.

    Who am I kidding this is a go to look for me lazy day or not. Lol.

    What’s your go-to lazy day makeup look?

    – my go to lazy makeup look is defined eyebrows with blush and mascara and hide my under eye bags with concealer.
    I can’t leave my house without eyebrows at least!

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).
