October 16th, 2008 at 8:38 amMAC 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. 🙁

October 16th, 2008 at 9:12 amHi Karen Too,
SOO pretty! Will you have a veil?
I am actually going to be in my BFF’s wedding as the matron of honor!
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 9:16 amHi Brittany,
They are really pretty and very useful, especially the Velvet Plum. Do you think you might pick any up?
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 9:18 amHi YadiQ,
HA! If we get assorted treats I also want a few kittens up in there so Tabs can have a friend!
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 9:20 amHi Dao,
I agree, the packaging is very pretty. The colors are kinda bright for me, but they’re pretty.
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 9:22 amHi 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. 🙂
Karen too says
October 16th, 2008 at 10:06 amThanks, 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! 🙂
Elena says
October 16th, 2008 at 10:26 amI 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. 🙂
YadiQ says
October 16th, 2008 at 10:31 amyes baby kitties would make a great surprise!
Amanda says
October 16th, 2008 at 11:24 amooh-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.
Daya says
October 16th, 2008 at 1:15 pmMy eyes have been on the BB collection! Specifically, the lip and eye palette. 🙂

October 16th, 2008 at 1:28 pmGimme gimme Chanel! 😀
The Manish Arora wins the prize for looking great with the Halloween decor though!
Anastasia says
October 16th, 2008 at 1:46 pmOf course the Chanel line – it’s like hitting the houses that you know have the good chocolate candy!
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 1:49 pmHi Karen Too,
I don’t have my wedding pics on this computer, but here’s a link:
Amy Kuschel Bride Tandie Wedding Gown
What’s your wedding going to be like? Big, small?
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 1:50 pmHi 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?
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 1:56 pmHi 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!
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 1:59 pmHi Daya,
Yay! I am a fan of this BB release, too. 🙂
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 2:04 pmHi Jaimie,
Thanks girl! Hope you’re having a good day. 🙂
Karen says
October 16th, 2008 at 2:05 pmHi Glosslizard,
So true! I would almost mistake it for Halloween candy!
Tami says
October 16th, 2008 at 2:52 pmI can’t choose just one. What can I say, I’m an only child!
Megan says
October 16th, 2008 at 3:11 pmI 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. 🙂
lexi says
October 16th, 2008 at 5:00 pmMAC 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!
Elena says
October 16th, 2008 at 5:58 pmHey 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. 😛
Karen too says
October 17th, 2008 at 12:08 amWow, 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?
Kitty says
October 18th, 2008 at 8:25 pmI can’t pick between Shu Uemura and Bobbi Brown… I love how flamboyant the former is, but the Bobbi Brown collection is so… luscious.
