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

March 21st, 2015 by Karen 434 Comments

** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, JEN!!!), but check back next Saturday for another Sephora giveaway.

Win a $50 Sephora e-gift card

Oh, my gosh! I loved the new Cinderella.

El Hub and I went to see it last night, and you know, I needed some of that Disney magic this week. They’ve got the whole fairytale thing DOWN. Even though it’s the same story you already know and love, that didn’t take away from it at all. Doesn’t matter how old you are, if you need a pick-me-up of goodness and light straight to your heart, go see it.

Get this: El Hub even got teary. 🙂 Ha!

In other news, your nephew is purr-turbed because we haven’t gone outside yet for our walk. I slept in a little and I’m running behind, but if I don’t take him, he will flip out. He’s already pacing around the house meowing.

What are you up to this weekend? I hope you’re doing something fun. We’re meeting some friends for dinner at a Thai place nearby tonight, and I’m really looking forward to that.

Best of luck in the giveaway, my friend. I’ll talk to you soon.

    • What did/do your parents do for a living?
    • What’s your favorite snack to have at school/work?

    Pretty much all mascara ads are eye-rolling. They promise crazy things, like 500 times more length and volume, and show a model with gigantic eyelashes. And then you look at the bottom of the screen, and it says “lashes styled with lash inserts” or “results are simulated”. Really makes you want to buy the mascara, huh? 🙂

    My dad had his own business as a translator for Inuktitut (an Indigenous Aboriginal language) and English, but he passed away about a year and a half ago. I live in Northern Canada, and it’s one of the official languages of the territory. My mom has been an educator for over 30 years, and was a teacher but now focuses on counselling. I’ve always been so proud of my parents for having jobs that they absolutely loved! It’s definitely something I aspire to.

    I would have to go with matte skin baby! I have oily skin and the thought of ‘glowing skin’ takes on a different meaning for me. I always look for matte or satin skin products. I’ve been using the hourglass ambient lighting powders to add a little softness to my matte skin but it’s very subtle, perfect for me.

I have 6 empty containers, so I’ll be doing the “Back to MAC” thing. Karen…you’re making me want to see Cinderella. Have a great weekend Karen!!

    I would love the gift card because it will help me with developing a new look for the new me!! I’ll explain.. See last month marked my goal of 40lbs lost!! I changed my life entirely by stopping eating certain foods, as well as giving up soda…wahhhh!! I walk 2 miles every morning and do 30mins of cardio every evening. Now there are plenty of great side effects to weight loss. The #1 being the all self confidence I gained from completing such a monumental goal. I have been carrying that baby weight for years! Back down to 155 yipee!! The one bad side effect is that none of my clothes fit me any more!! Wahhh!! I’m happy about the shopping of course, but my wallet is not!! Along with the new wardrobe and style update that comes along with it I’ll need to update my makeup and the way I wear it!! This gift card would be a great start to making that new face happen!
    I’ll be crossing my fingers!!

    Oh that does look good on you!! But you know how to apply it for optimum results.
    Have I ever been zip lining? Yes I have. A couple of years ago my two daughters and I went on a 7 day western Carribean cruise. For our shore excursion in Jamaica my youngest wanted to zip line and kayak which was together. I love the water so I agreed, thinking this zip line couldn’t be very high off the ground. Little did I know that the zip lines were waaaaayy up above the river we would kayak in after ziplining and once you were in line there was no going back and we zip lines all across back and forth to platforms built in the trees just for this and have I mentioned I am SO AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, yes I am and we were so high. It turned out fun as long as I did not look down. Our guides on this excursion were very experienced and made all the difference in the world.

    My Mom is a Dermatologist (which is ironic because I have the most sensitive and the most dry skin) and my Dad for years did security at DOE in Washington, DC. HOWEVER, when he found out he had cancer,he went back to his passion which was art. He became a full time artist and won many awards, was featured in magazines, interviewed on tv and the newspaper and held numerous art shows. He was happy to do what he loved. He did succumb to his cancer in 2002, but he lived an exciting life. I do miss him dearly, though. Now… he paints the sky!

    Oh, those NARS lipsticks have been calling my name. But my budget won’t allow it so if I happen to win I’m definitely buying one to try. I can’t wait to see Cinderella – everyone I know has said it’s very good. Re: your suggested topics – Ziplining looks fabulous but I’m deathly afraid of heights so I doubt it’s ever happening. I’m still struggling with acne and dry skin so if I can get dewy or matte, either is fine by me if I can just get my skintone to look more even 😉

I love that stuff so much but i hate when i start running out of HG because then i’m forced to push my other makeup wants aside for a repurchase. Oh well. That powder is heaven so its worth it. I’ve been wanting the Mac Nordstrom Neutrals palette… and have been anxious because its limited edition but i don’t have $85 to just blow right now… also need more ABH Liquid lipsticks…. Party Pink, Electric Coral, and Bambi…. plus Pure Hollywood if i can ever get my hands on it…. that would bring me to owning 10 of them but they are amazing so i don’t find that excessive….. maybe just a little excessive… but also dying to try some of the new Marc Jacobs lippies…. and more Buxom glosses… the list goes on and on….

    OMG GLOWING SKIN ALL THE WAY. I already have pretty good skin and I’m not a fan of the matte look. (Mainly because I’m too lazy to apply foundation and I hate wearing skin makeup. 😀 )
    The glowing skin look lets me get away with only moisturizer… Nice and easy. 😀 😀 😀

    Hi Karen!! I’m a relatively new subscriber and first off wanted to thank you for this blog! I look forward to reading new entrkes and also enjoy broesing older ones for the endless product reviews and makeup looks. This has been such an amaaaazing find for me! A lot of makeup tutorials out there look very “cake face” and not very natural, but I always find your looks to be much more wearable and relatable. Thank you again. I really wish I had discovered this blog sooner!

    In response to the entry prompt– no I have never been bungee jumping or zip lining. I am terrified of heights and don’t even like ferris wheels! I’m getting sweaty palms just at the idea of it.

    Anyway, have a great weekend! I’m craving some green shrimp curry and sticky rice right now…

Valarie (who I like as an actress except in this commercial she is particularly annoying). She says she uses it twice a day because “I am greedy”. And does this sarcastic laugh that makes me cringe. I really can’t stand her in that, and the commercial makes me change the channel or at least mute the TV at the first sight of it, LOL!

    I’ve gone zip-lining before. It was part of this one high ropes obstacle course in Germany. Many parts of the course were up in the trees of a forest, so in order to get down, I had to complete that section of the course and then zip line back to the ground. I’m terrified of heights, but the zip lining was fun!

    Most eye-rolling or annoying makeup/beauty commercials? Not really the makeup commercials, but those food commercials that use those sexy models while they’re chomping down on a gigantic burger. It’s highly doubtful they’d be eating those on a regular basis!

    Annie’s bunny fruit snacks are my favorite snacks to have at work. Oh and kashi makes these cranberry lemon granola bars that I found only at target that are just delicious!

    Most annoying beauty ad I have seen is one for Maybelline’s new mascara…in tiny fine print it mentions how lash inserts were also used on the model. So misleading! (but I have come to expect that lol).

    What I found annoying lately was those commercials for bladder protection from Always. Has anyone else noticed the women who need bladder protection are all aged 40-50ish “plus” size women? Not a mix of women body sizes BUT for their normal feminine protection commercials the women are slim and young. I know that is “marketing” tactics but I find it offensive to have the image out there that average to plus size women are the ones having “bladder leak” issues when an array of men and women have these life issues. I just found it annoying and not helping body image and perpetuating social stigmas and stereotypes. Thanks for the comment moment and the contest opportunity. Enjoy the night everyone.

    I prefer glowy skin to matte, hands down.

    I find the new Revlon… marketing angle or whatever you can call it “Love is On” doesn’t make a whole ton of sense. Does makeup inspire romance? You could argue it does but in such a roundabout and superficial way that I just don’t get what message the company was trying to send. So that would be my “annoying” commercial as of late!

    I am usually a lurker and never comment, but you asked about bungee jumping so I wanted to chime in. I went with my friends in college and it was an awesome experience. What I didn’t realize when I agreed to go was that it involved a 5 mile hike one way! Pretty cool and beautiful place to bungee though. It was off this bridge in the middle of the Angeles National Forest that has no roads going to or from it.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_to_Nowhere_(San_Gabriel_Mountains)

    The scariest part about bungee jumping for me was not the initial drop but was going back up. Flying up through the sky and not knowing when you are going to start dropping back down to earth was definitely the part that made me scream the most.

It was around father’s day, and they asked for stories about your father. I told the story of how I was having an “unbirthday” party and, unbeknownst to me, my hair caught on fire from the birthday candle. My dad knocked me off my chair to put out the fire. But to me, all my dad had done is knock me over. I then remember sitting in the kitchen while he cut all the burnt ends off. The radio host was laughing so hard when I told the story.

    I love the dewy look but it can be a little tricky to achieve. I’ve been wearing L’Oreal True Match lately which my oil does get me glowing in the tzone in an hour or so, but my cheeks look perpetually dry. Need to do more experimenting! 😀 I finally dyed my hair again, was looking pretty strange with the ashy light brown and white roots, light golden brown past that then darker red past that, haha. Went with a cool medium brown and it looks like it mostly covered the red, I’m surprised! Also darker than I anticipated, but I think it works. We’ll see how it looks after washing. 🙂

    Matte skin looks too makeupy on me in real life. I do like it for photos though.

    •Have you ever done zip-lining or bungee jumping? I have done both when I was in my twenties.

    •Glowy skin or matte? I prefer glowing skin

    •What’s your favorite snack to have at school/work? I love chocolate covered almonds and fruits

    My parents are very busy people. My mom is now employed full-time with the post office after being a stay at home mom to 14 children as well as the secretary for my dad’s trucking business for several years. My dad works for himself. He has a trucking business, a farm and a sawmill-as well as taking on the roll as the parent to run the kids to after school events.

    Fav snack without a doubt is POPCORN! I eat it almost every day. 🙂

    I do try to be a bit healthy at work so I opt for some sea salt dark chocolate almonds. 🙂

    Hope i win! 🙂

    Matte always! With oily skin, everything winds up “dewy” anyway in a few hours, why start out behind the 8 ball?

    I’ve never been zip lining or bungee jumping but there’s supposed to be a place near me that a room full of trampolines for adults? And you bounce to your heart’s content. I want to try this for sure.

    Hi! It’s my first comment ever, but i read you all the time. I went to see Cinderella with my sister and my husband, we had to drag him, mainly because my sister and me are really really annoying together, specially in the cinema. Anyway the three of us had a blast, it’s a really cute and romantic movie, and Ella looks beautiful all the time. And yes, I’ve been on the radio a lot, the first time I was 9, was a school knowledge contest, it was funny because someone stole (someone from the school who lost) our awards and freebies so after two months of waking up 5:00 am every sunday in order to win over every school in the contest, my team of 4 kids had to share two cupcakes :S, but when you’re a kid you enjoy anything, but our parents weren’t that happy :S.

    I think just the right amount of glowy skin tends to look the healthiest and nicest. But if you have super oily skin like I do, it’s much harder to achieve dewy skin that doesn’t look like an oil slick!

    Glowy skin – my skin tends to try already, so i’ve been using illuminating tinted moisturizer instead of foundation since the early days of this blog – before that kind of thing was all the rage.

    Glowy skin: I naturally have very dry skin so mattefying is too dull on my skin.

    & zip lining is so much fun! you should definitely if you haven’t. I did it with my sister in Alaska of all places.

    Hi! I don’t know if you like music, but I *love* it and if you’re looking for a new band to listen to, I highly recommend Marianas Trench. They are kind of pop/rock….if you like Hedley you would probably like them too. Okay, have a nice day, bye!

    I like more matte skin. Maybe that’s a holdout from my teenage years when I never went anywhere without a Maybelline pressed powder compact? I love Too Faced Candelight and Primed and Poreless powders for blurring fine lines these days.

    I would prefer a matte skin look, but unfortunately I’m naturally glowy. I think the dewy look can look really pretty and healthy, but it’s hard to pull off any added shimmer on naturally oily skin. (Oh how we always want what we can’t have!)

    Favorite work snack is coffee, coffee and then maybe a little coffee.
    But, really, if I’m hungry, I like to have some raw almonds. Of course, I also really love to go downstairs and steal banana laffy taffies from the receptionist’s candy bowl. She knows I do this, but we pretend she doesn’t see me…

    First of all, I can’t remember if I commmented and I double checked and I dont think I did. I’m SORRY IF I DID! But I wanted to say I love a matte look, however I’ve recently started to admire and switch to the glowy look. Which is funny because my first shimmer powder was from the Mac CINDERELLA collection. :))

    I prefer glowy skin! But with my oily skin, if I start out glowy, I end up an oilslick in a couple of hours. Instead, I start out matte, and let the natural oils peek through after a while for the perfect amount of glow!

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).
