    MAC manish arora, just because it’s exotic looking and the colors are pigmented. That doesn’t mean I’m going to get it though! I’m broke. 🙁

    I am actually going to be in my BFF’s wedding as the matron of honor!

    They are really pretty and very useful, especially the Velvet Plum. Do you think you might pick any up?

    I agree, the packaging is very pretty. The colors are kinda bright for me, but they’re pretty.

    Hi Sandy,

    I hear ya. Sometimes it’s fun to just window shop, which is what I end up doing when I am on a tight budget. 🙂

    Thanks, I think so too!! 🙂 Yes, I’ll have a veil that is a bit similar to the one in the photo (only lace along the sides). And silver shoes with sequins. Do you have a picture of your wedding dress? I’d love to see! 🙂

    I don’t suppose there’s a “Choose them all” option, is there? I really, really love the MAC holiday collections. I cannot wait to get my hands on those brush sets! I’m totally saving up right now.

    Which collection would you choose if you had to, Karen? 😀 Also, have you ever tried the famous NARS blushes and highlighters? Do you think they’re worth the price, if you have?

    Hope Thursday’s treating you well. 🙂

    ooh-toughy. At first I was think BB for sure…but once I viewed the smashbox collection I changed my mind. The duos did me in! But I love chanel’s holiday too. Can’t we just pick and choose from each one? LOL.

    Of course the Chanel line – it’s like hitting the houses that you know have the good chocolate candy!

    Hi Karen Too,

    I don’t have my wedding pics on this computer, but here’s a link:

    What’s your wedding going to be like? Big, small?

    Hi Elena,

    Ha! I wish!

    So far, I’m feeling the Smashbox, Lancome, BB and Chanel. I know that’s like, half of the options, but ahhh, well. 😉

    I have tried NARS blushes and highlighters. While I like the Multiples, I have a similar product by Laura Mercier that I only occasionally reach for, so I haven’t gotten around to snagging a Multiple just yet. The blushes are worth all the hype! I have Amour and Torrid and I love them both to bits!

    Right now I’m at work taking a short break. It’s kinda been non-stop here for two weeks and I’m seriously ready for the weekend.

    How’s your day been?

    Hi YadiQ,

    Yup… and they would all come with all of their shots, good manners and a lifetime supply of vet care and food. That would be a TREAT!

    I totally went with Chanel…although the Red she Said is pretty hot. I got the Lancome palette of Starlette and Stunning – It’s under gift sets for some reason and it has 6 colors…and LOVE it…it is soooooooo pretty. I’ve been using it a lot ,lately…and who cares if glitter is office appropriate or not. 🙂

    MAC would be my obivious choice but lately I’m craving some Nars esp since I have straight OD’d on MAC! Maybe the super orgasm blush will show up better on my brown skin!

    Hey Karen,

    Aww, I hope work calms down for you a bit. If it helps, school has been pretty crazy for me. I also found out that I have to work at 7am the morning after Halloween, which is a huge bummer. Otherwise, though, I’m alive and well. 😀

    Have you decided who you (and Tabs!) are going to be for Halloween? I’ll live it vicariously through you. 😛

    Wow, what a lovely dress – I bet you were drop dead gorgeous! Seems like we both appreciate simplicity over the more embellished dresses. We will have about 60 guests for dinner btw (Medium size I guess?)

    Anyway, good luck on your decision about going back to school! Would it be full time, or would you still work part time?

    I can’t pick between Shu Uemura and Bobbi Brown… I love how flamboyant the former is, but the Bobbi Brown collection is so… luscious.

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).
