** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, MICHELLE!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.
This place needs a Sephora. That would totally take the Kaiser SF hospital to the next level. Picture it: Sephoras inside the maternity ward — mini Sephoras, like the small ones inside JCPenney stores, but, like, a Sephora in the maternity ward at the hospital.
I think I’m on to something. 🙂
Good morning, beautiful! I just woke up from a rollicking four hours of sleep, which sounds lame, but in this brave new world of being Connor’s mom, four hours is awesome.
I should be going home today, and I’m really excited about it. Introducing Connor and Tabs will be like a meeting of world superpowers. I just hope the two of them can reach a détente.
It’s Saturday, right? I’m pretty sure it’s Saturday… I’m starting to lose track of the days, but assuming it’s Saturday, let’s get on with the giveaway. I hope your weekend is filled with delicious brunch goodies, lots of hugs, a cat or two and good coffee. Talk to you soon, my friend.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I look forward to hearing about this Epic Meeting b/t Connor Claire & Tabs!
Best makeup brush cleaner hands/brushes down would be that by Cinema Secrets. Despite that toxic (but gorgeous!) blue color, it just gets the job done and it smells vanilla-ish lovely, too.
Congrats! My 82 year old grandma would agree. She recemtly found herself in the hospital with no lipstick or hairbrush. She doesn’t go anywhere without her lipstick! And I was born with a full thick head of hair. The top was red and underneath blond.
What about a Sephora rolling cart that visits the rooms?
I can’t wait to hear more about her!
I’m taking my 3 month old to Sephora for the first time today. I’m debating whether or not it would be wrong to use her bald little head as a space for swatches…
I was born with hair just like my 2 little boys. Total heartburn all pregnancy.
Can’t wait to here about their meeting! I was born with no hair, and looked like a prawn until I was about eight months old! xx
I’d rather wear a necklace!
Connor!
WE HAVE A NAME, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs to you Karen!

Congratulations! Would love to win 🙂
A million congratulations on your precious baby girl!
Hi
I just bought the new Chanel healthy glow foundation-easy to wear but still looks polished for a no makeup day! Oh and I was born with no hair:)
The last makeup I bought was the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea palette, which I don’t need but absolutely had to have.
I hope you get to go home – I’m sure you’re well tired of the hospital!
My favorite jewelry to wear is earrings, with necklaces at a close second. I almost never wear bracelets or rings though!
The last beauty product I recommended was the the YSL touche éclat mega highlighter. It’s very pretty.
Congrats on your new little one! Enjoy every minute.
I like wearing earrings, necklace, a bracelet, a watch, and rings! I usually wear a lot of “adorning” accessories 🙂
I was born with hair.
Yay for Connor being born! I was born with a full head of hair that according to my mama needed the help of a blow dryer by four months old.
Congratulations mama!!! ❤️
The last makeup I bought was a NYX matte lip cream in Addis Ababa, which the website told me was out of stock but was miraculously in my Target anyway. So excited to try it!
Congratulations Karen! 🙂 Been following your blog for awhile and I’m so happy for you! The last piece of makeup I bought was the Marc Jacobs Remarcable foundation concentrate. I have so much on my list but I have yet to convince my boyfriend to venture into the depths of Sephora with me. He told me whenever he’s in there he just thinks to himself “That’s too much for a pencil…… I don’t get what that is…..” over and over, hahah. Wish me luck!
Congratulations !! I had tonnes of hair when I was born ☺☺
Congratulations on the beautiful baby! The last “beauty product” I recomended was Dr. Bronner’s soap in the almond scent. Amazing.
I only have two piercings–my ears. I’ve thought about getting my nose done or other spots on my ears, but never actually gone through with it.
The last piece of makeup I bought was the ABH Brow Definer. And I’m loving it!
Nicole recently posted … Reviews & To Review – February
Just bought Mac lipstick in Flocking Fabulous and it’s amazing!
I was born with no hair and was practically bald for a year! But now I have the most hair out of everyone in my family!
Working a half day today. Enjoying the sunshine and some good coffee.
It will be so nice for you to be home! I hope the transition goes smoothly!
“Picture it: Sephoras inside the maternity ward — mini Sephoras, like the small ones inside JCPenney stores, but, like, a Sephora in the maternity ward at the hospital.” Oh gosh this made me laugh but yaaassss please, just somewhere in hospital will do! Once caged in hospital for months with ugly face, I wish there was a place where you can just pop in there for some quick fix so that they won’t see you looking not-so-good. I feel jealous that you still look fabulous without makeup. I mean…what’s the secret???
I just realized that I forgot to mention how spectacularly gorgeous Connor is for a newborn!
An who would have imagined a world in which four hours of unbroken sleep is a luxury?
I like your description of the upcoming meeting of Tabs and Connor…
I was born with a full head of long, jet-black hair.
Which promptly fell out.
What grew back was a mousy brown, in a family of brunettes and redheads. I never really appreciated my hair until it started to go gray in an attractive way.
I wear earrings and a watch (my form of bracelet) every day, but I love a necklace or scarf for framing my face and elevating an outfit.
I just love wearing Earrings 🙂 well if i get a beautiful neck piece I would wear that too 😉
I was born with a lot of hair.
Congratulations on your baby girl! 😀
I would wear earrings, they’re something I always put on before I leave the house. Even if I don’t wear any makeup, I think earrings just ties everything together for me.
The last beauty product I recommended to someone was the Macadamia Professional Weightless Moisture Leave-In Conditioning Mist – even though it says it’s for fine hair and I have medium-thick hair, it works amazing for me. It really does help with detangling and keeping the frizz down.
Congratulations on being a Mom! 🙂
The last beauty product I recommended to someone were the Eyeshadows from Makeup Geek. The colors are just so nice and well pigmented.
Let’s see… the last makeup item I purchased was the Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop in Volver. It’s amazing.

Earrings- I have three piercings (thanks to my mom) but only two of them are active. I feel naked without earrings. Im into stud type of earrings.
Happy weekend Monterichard family esp to Connor and Tabs. XO
Congrats on your baby girl!!!!! Wishing for a speedy recovery for you!
Earrings!
Lakme absolute kohl ultimate
2 ears pierced
I was born with the Danny Devito hair, bald on top with hair on the sides lol
I just pulled the touchy trigger on the new Nars Matte. So much in non-shiny love with it.
Congrats Karen!!!!! Beautiful little bundle 🙂
I hope you and that beautiful baby girl are doing well!! I love her name and she really is so pretty. Babies are truly a gift.
I have two piercings? One in each ear for my earrings. I’m rather boring like that but that’s how I roll.
I hope y’all get home today and that y’all transition well.
Earrings! They are my jewelry weakness.
Congratulations! I was born with a lot of brown hair on a February morning @ 8:21AM. I am convinced that is why I am a morning maniac to this day.
Enjoy your new baby girl! Tabs is home awaitin’!
Bracelets are my favorite! And they’re so easy.
I like to wear earrings to keep my neck free of jewelry to elongate the neck 🙂
Congrats on baby Connor! He is adorable. I was born with a head full of black hair and I ended up rubbing it off on the sides so I had a Mohawk@ haha
One of my new mommy friends tracks her sleep on her FitBit. She posted her week total recently which was under 8 hours for the entire week. 😮
I hear I slept like a dream when I was an infant! Lets hope little Connor does as well, 4 hours seems like a promising start! 🙂
(PS I was born with a rockstar head of bright orange hair!)
I prefer necklaces to bracelets and earrings.
i love earrings. they are my favorite. i can’t leave home without them.
I was born with a lot of hair on my head!
Congrats on baby Connor, I was born with a ton of hair, and my fave face brush and is the smart profile clarisonic
The last make-up product I recommended was the Mac x 15 Warm Neutral Palette.
Earrings. I can never get enough. Especially Kate Spade.
Thank you for the giveaway! Hope you’ll be home soon 🙂
Rebecca recently posted … flashback friday: shattered mint
I would rather wear earrings because when I am in the hospital, they stay out of the way and stay clean.
Great idea- Sephora in the hospital!
The last makeup product I enthusiastically recommended to someone was the Maybelline Fit Me concealer, I let them know that it was super creamy, blendable and of course affordable!
I was born with so much hair. I got my first haircut at 3 months old — my mom had to hold my head up during it.

What’s the last piece of makeup you bought?
Just yesterday i got nyx terracotta blush. I am slowly building my blush collection and im adding a few neutrals:)
I like wearing necklaces, but they get tangled so easily 😀
Congratulations Karen! So happy for you and welcome little Connor!
I will always go for necklaces.
The last beauty product I recommended to a friend was Bite’s Agave Lip Mask, a life saver for me.
The last beauty product I bought was a nail polish: Essie’s in stitches. Such a great color.
I really should remember to enter this giveaway more often, rather than just reading the email then forgetting about it.
I *always* wear a necklace – I feel naked without one. I actually just bought a new one this afternoon from Forever 21, with tiny turquoise beads and 5 dangling silver elephants on parade.
Hello ladies & gentlemen, this is my first time leaving s comment. Therefore, I am very excited and I feel like I have so much to say!! The last beauty product I recommended to s friend was Botanical foundation by Limelight by alcone. It’s great, covers up dark spots & you look awake and ready to go!! I used to have many piercings, but since I am older I only kept my belly button and ears. Lol. I used to be known for all of my silver bracelets on my left arm ( about 35) and my fun ones stacked all the way up on my right arm. Many necklaces as well. Let’s just say I’m unique. Lol. Thank you for reading!! Have a wonderful weekend, Unique Jess
I was born with a full set of hair ready to be trimmed lol and I’m sure it has to do with my ethnicity. My Mom said that I had hairy arms and back even thought that all fell off as the weeks went on.
Congratulations Karenn!!! ?? I’m super excited for you and I hope the best for both of you.
I would rather wear earrings becuse I have short hair at the moment. So im currently loving the looks i can create with long to knob earrings.
I was born with a lot of hair and so was my son!
I have a bunch of piercings. I was born with hair. I’m currently in love with Aveda under eye cream. I just wash my brushes with whatever gentle shampoo I have on hand. I’m so over Frida Khalo eyebrows. Love your blog?
I was born with very little hair. And my boys were born pretty much bald but my daughter had a head full of black beautiful hair.
Congratulations on a beautiful baby girl! I gave just recommended glycolic acid toner by Reviva Labs to my friend.
I was born with hair, but it was so blinde you could only see it against the light, so I looked bald until I was eight months.
My daughter was a redhead at birth, but is blonde now.

Love Sephora..haven’t been going as much lately because it’s closer to a Ulta. And , sometimes I can beat their prices , via either HSN or QVC. Last thing I bought at Sephora was some Philosphy for my mom..for her birthday.
omg – i can’t wait to hear about Connor meeting Tabs. i bet Tabs will be a great big brother! congrats again Karen! i hope you have an easy transition to being home and get settled in soon. XO
i clean my makeup brushes with olive oil soap, and water. it keeps them soft and clean!
i was born with a full head of hair. it’s always been a little bit wild and unruly, but i guess i have come to realize that that is a good thing!
The last makeup I purchased was Koh Gen Do aqua foundation. I just placed the order with Sephora last night.
Congratulations on getting to go home and have fun introducing Connor and Tabs!
I just introduced some friends to the power of Mac Painpot in Painterly as an eyeshadow base!!! I couldn’t live without it now!
Take all the sleep you can new Momma! Connor is beyond adorable!!
Now back to the Saturday giveaway questions…
Earring, necklace or bracelet ~> always a necklace!
Born with hair or not ~> born a just a little but it fell out within days before taking months to grow back!
How many piercings ~> both ears double pierced & 1 ear cartilage piercing!
Congrats on the baby girl!!!!! I’m sure Tabs will do great when my daughter was a baby our cat Bear would sleep by her crib all the time.
Congratulations!!!!
I have 1 piercing (a silver ring, right nostril) since my 12years old! ^.^
I hardly ever change my earrings, I wear plain white gold hoops day in and day out – so you know if I’m wearing different earrings, it’s a very special occasion
I have an affinity for necklaces and prefer to wear them over bracelets and earrings.
Congratulations again on becoming a mom! My cat got along well with my daughter when she was a baby. I even have a picture of my daughter sleeping with her arm draped across my Patches. lol.
I was born with little hair, but it grew out.
A hospital Sephora is an AWESOME idea! So excited for you to go home!!
love rings! kiss to your baby!
Congrats to you, El Hub, Baby Connor & Tabs!! We had a Tabs ourselves & her name was also Tabby- identical to yours- colors & all!!! Loving the Sephora idea- it would definitely be a hit among new moms & guests- heck, even the staff.
Congratulations to you and your family on your new addition!
I have 7 piercings.
i was born with lots of hair!
Hi Karen!
Have a nice weekend
Congrats on the baby!! What about makeovers for new moms after birth?! So fun 😛
Iwas born with hair but then it got very curly ! I love all kinds of jewelry ! And i love to give it out ss gifts but i find not everyone likes it !
I clean my brushes with a brush cleaner but shampoo works just as well!
I have 7 piercings ! And try always have an earring in them.
I am very happy for you , Connor, Tabs , and El Hubs.
Please tell us more about the labor event and the meeting of Tabs & Connor !
I know it will be fine .
Have a great Saturday !
Michele
I prefer bracelets, but necklaces are fun too!
3 piercings all in my ears. I’d love a vertical lip piercing but Mr isn’t keen!!
Ps. Glad to hear you’re all well and home soon 🙂
I was born totally bald! With really dark eyes, which is weird because they actually lightened as I got older (hazel now)
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! 🙂
Congrats congrats congrats!
I recommended the too faced natural eye neutral eyeshadow palette to my sister! The shadows are too pretty and so smooth– she loves it!
I use Zote soap to wash my makeup brushes. It’s technically a soap for delicates, but it cleans my brushes WONDERFULLY!
Congratulations on your precious baby.
I was born with hair. I think. Not many photos exist, unlike today, it was over 48 years ago!
Congrats!!! I was born with light brown hair!
Congratulations Karen. I can’t wait to hear all about the delivery of Conner! As far as jewelry goes my favorite pieces are ring s but after that comes earrings. Currently my most favorite and consistently used makeup is the Elf lash tint, which I use as a base under the Loreal telescopic carbon black, and my natural matte Viseart palette. I use the Viseart palette to conceal dark under eye circles after applying cream products, contouring my nose, and priming my lids for other e/s.
Congrats to you all. Sorry to hear you had such a rough time but hopefully you’ll recover quickly! You have a beautiful little girl.
I wear earrings rather than anything else. I have several piercings including 3 microdermals on my wrist so don’t want to overdo things!
??
Congrats, Karen!! Last makeup I bought were the ColourPop cosmetics eyeliners- and they are fab! Truly stay put on the waterline
The last beauty product I recommended was eyeshadow primer! I have a friend who hasn’t tried any yet and if her experience was anything like mine she would be amazed at the difference.
I have 2 piercings in each ear
Born with hair. Congrats to you!
I was born with very little hair! My last cosmetics purchase was using rewards points at my local Shoppers Drug Mart. I got the new Escada Agua del Sol fragrance, a Gosh lipstick and a Clarins cream to powder eyeshadow. Hope you are resting well and the sun is shining for you today.
I’d rather wear a necklace every time!
Congrats Karen!!!
What a beautiful baby girl! Never thought I would think a baby could be as beautiful as mine, haha.
I am crazy about Laura Mercier so I loved the information about the new products you posted.
I’m going to go to our small Cosbar on Monday and find those products.
Sephora makeovers for new moms. Love it.
Just bought smashbox color corrector in orange and im in love !!!!
I was born with a lot of hair 🙂
I actually really like using Origins Checks and Balances to wash my brushes because I have a couple of deluxe sized samples of it. I also like using Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple for brush cleaning too, though it gets pricey.
I was born with hair 🙂
Last piece of makeup bought was Kat Von Dee Bow and Arrow liquid lipstick. LOVE!
Congratulations! I was born bald as a cueball, but my son was born with a thick swatch of black hair. He even had hair on his ears! (Thankfully, the ear hair fell out after a few weeks…eek!)
Hey Karen and family,
Again congratulations on the new addition to your family – a beautiful baby girl. Yes I do think you could be on to something with a Sephora in the hospital. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been there and forgotten my mu bag at home only to have to beg someone to bring it to me. Being dolled up in a hospital bed is definitely on trend. My love and blessings to you all.
Now the last thing I purchased was the MUFE Full Cover Camo Cream. This stuff is gold and magic all shoved into one tiny bottle. Of course purchased from Sephora and I really want to get those Sephora brand correctors and concealers.
At 39 years old, I currently have just 3 open piercings (down from 9 in my 20s): my earlobes and a little opal stud in my right nostril. It’s meaningful to me because I was told as a teen that no one would love me unless I got a nose job, so my opal stud is a middle finger that says my nose is just fine, fits with the rest of my face, and I’m not hiding it.
The last makeup I bought (on this past Wednesday) was a light-ish brown eye liner I thought would be too light for me but it turns out by switching out my dark purple, dark blue and blacks for a lighter color I can make a beautiful smokey brown day look. LOVE IT! Happy surprise!
I use Dr. Bronner’s soap per your suggestion in a post a long time ago. I just finished my first bar and I’m debating between trying out the liquid or solid again!
I think I was born with hair. But now that you ask, I can’t remember if I’ve seen a picture of me as a newborn. I have plenty of pictures of both my sons right from the beginning, but I can’t remember if I’ve seen any of me. Maybe one, perhaps in my parents’ possession.
Just bought Burberry’s Earthy and Charlotte Tilbury Film star Bronze and Glow. Happy with my haul for the month!
I need to get some new blushes, maybe a palette!
Congrats on the arrival of Connor! I’m glad you are both ok. The last makeup items I bought were last weekend. I purchased some of NARS spring collection, but only kept the Rosecliff lipstick. I was disappointed in the Instant Crash gloss, it felt gritty to me, and the gorgeous Kari eyeshadow didn’t show up on my lids. Rosecliff however was perfect and I’m enjoying it very much.
Congrats on the birth of beautiful baby Connor! What a gem <3
I was born with a head full of dark hair. Having spent an inordinate amount of time in hospitals over the past two years with my mom, I can absolutely agree with you on the installation of Sephora into hospitals. Everyone's mood would be much improved!
I was born with a lot of really dark hair!
I can’t imagine what the confrontation between Connor and Tabs will be like! Or perhaps they will bond immediately and begin cat-baby schemes. I don’t know, but it would probably make for a good sitcom. Lol ^^
I currently have 7 piercings… and am contemplating getting a nose piercing. We’ll see!! And congrats on Miss Connor!!! 😀
I was born with lots of dark hair!
Were you born with hair or without? – lots of hair!
Congrats Karen! my last beauty product that I enthusiastically recommended is my foundation to Urban Decay!!
Congrats on your lovely bundle of joy! 4 hours of sleep is pretty good from what I remember of my kids infancy…take it when you can.
For me it’s earrings all the way…I feel naked without a pair on.
I recommended the ever curl cleaning balm that you rec’d to me to a friend 😉
So glad you had some sleep BUT thrilled that Miss Connor has arrived.
When I worked I wore a ton of jewelry including bangles and layered necklaces. Now I no longer work so I have my wedding ring on my left hand and a heirloom diamond ring from a Great-Great Aunt on my right hand. Usually just wear a pair of stud earrings and no other jewelry.
congratulations, love!! miss connor is gorgeous (of course!!) and I’m happy to hear you made it through… though tbh your whole ordeal sounds terrifying!! ? I’ll bet tabs was waiting with baited kitty breath until he received word that all was well!
After I was born, following a considerably less harrowing but still drawn out birth, (ten hours!) i had enough very dark hair that I had a little pony on top of my head for the hospital photo! 🙂
today, I also have a (less dark) pony on top of my head, and I shall tell you my incredibly simple jewelry routine: I have silver loops in my ears, a mostly-silver/swarovski-sparkled beaded bracelet on my left wrist, and a silver (sensing a theme? lol) necklace around my neck. and as for the routine? the simple part is that I never take any of those things off. seriously. I clean them every once in awhile, but I haven’t removed them on purpose for anything but an X-ray in AGES! I will wear one necklace for months until I become enamored with a new one. they’re always pretty low key, tho. Currently, it’s a super thin chain with a teensy tiny dainty little minimalist silver giraffe living it’s best dangling life. 🙂
other than that, I have a couple rings I’ll throw on if the mood strikes me, but I’m way more likely to alternate my lippies than my jewelry!
get some rest and pass some love onto sweet BG! 🙂 xx
I hope the introduction of Tabs to his new baby sister–I mean, assistant–goes smoothly!
I was born without any hair. I was also six weeks early, so. My mom says I looked like a naked squirrel.
I can’t wait to hear how the meeting of Connor and Tabs go. We’ll need lots of cute pictures of that. 🙂
The makeup item I bought was Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Black Truffle. Seriously the best dark, vampy violet-black lipstick I’ve ever used. Opaque and not at all patchy or pink.
I recently bought Maybelline Fit Me Concealer !
Earrings – I love my diamond studs!
Congratulations, Karen!
I have six piercings. Hoping to make it eight by the end of the year!
Hope the meeting between Tabs and Connor goes well. It may be hard on Tabs for a while as he realizes his best assistant has her attention focused on someone else, but I’m sure he’ll get over it when he realizes how beautiful and amazing Connor is.
Congratulations on your new little precious girl!!!
I used to have 4 ear piercings as a teen, but I let 2 grow in. Now I only have 2.
I really want to know how it goes the meeting between Connor and Tabs.
I last purchased some blush and an eyebrow pencil.
Earrings! and Nail polish! hooray for babies born with and without hair! it is absolutely not a predictor of future hair. baby hair all falls out anyway and gets replaced, just like eye color changes until it settles in. So much fun to watch all the progression.
Two piercings – one in each ear lobe.
The last piece of makeup I bought was a Sephora lipstick (burgundy !).
And welcome Connor !
I have eight piercings. I have five on one ear and three on the other. Congrats on Baby Conner! Can’t wait to hear all about her meeting with Tabs. 🙂
No piercings, not even ears! And I was mostly a baldie baby, but I had enough fuzz to let you know I was a redhead.
I’m sending positive vibes from me and my kitties for a long and loving relationship between Tabs and Connor. Any nicknames for BG yet?
I always wear earrings!! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!! 🙂
Congrats on your baby!!!
Hoping for info on the executive meeting between Connor and Tabs. 😉
Last makeup…well, I just bought some Clarins skincare to try.
The best makeup brush cleaner for me is Dawn soap. It takes off all the product and leaves the brush super clean.
Make up brush cleaner? Let me direct you to Cinema Secrets. You dip your brush in and wipe it on a paper towel and it magically looks brand new. Andddd… It dries crazy quick- even my foundation brushes! Love it.
Just my ears pierced. Congratulations again. Happy to hear you’re all doing well.
I’m sure Connor and Tabs will be BFF’s. She’ll like him for his fur and soft tum and he’ll like training someone else to open his cans of gravy! 🙂 The brush cleaner I use is a Japanese brand called Daiso Detergent for Sponges and Brushes. It works great!
I love the Becca highlight in Champagne Pop and turned my sister on to it.
I love a statement necklace
Happy Saturday, Karen & Connor!
Yesterday, I bought the MAC x Zac Posen lipstick in Dangerously Red. I stopped by the counter in Macy’s to get makeup tips for a friend, & I made the mistake of swatching this color on my hand. Next thing I knew, I was at the register with my debit card in hand. I have NO idea how that happened…LOL! It’s such a gorgeous color. Prior to that, I received the box of Tarte by the Sea products I ordered. I tried the face mist this morning & I can’t wait to play with the new lipsticks.
I would love to hear about the meeting of the two super powers! Would Tabs think of it as the job interview for the new hire?
I would rather wear necklaces. It helps compete my look.

Congrats on the new baby girl! Hope you both are doing great! Please let us know how Tabs took to her! 🙂
Comment! 😀 Today has been SO busy I am so ready to relax…
I usually wear earrings and my Shinola watch, but I always wear my wedding and engagement rings.
I did not want to leave the hospital after delivery. I was afraid I wouldn’t know what to do if something happened. Ha! I still don’t know what to do, but at least I know I will eventually figure it out.
I have three piercings, one in each ear & I have one in my belly button that I still count even though I don’t have jewelry in it, as the hole is still there. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
Karen!!!! How are you? Totally in love? Congrats!!! I hope you are feeling well! 🙂 can’t wait to see more pictures!!!
A million congratulations! I hope you take some time and just enjoy yourself and your new family. I think a Sephora in a maternity ward would go off wonderfully. Enjoy these first few days!
I have 7 piercings! Congrats on BG Connor 🙂 she’s so precious!
My last makeup purchase was from Beautylish. Their customer service is amazing! I got 3 Charlotte Tilbury products and a Wayne Goss brush. Felt like Christmas ? Congratulations btw!
Your precious baby girl is a cutie patootie!
I’m looking forward to hearing about Connor’s and Tab’s first meeting.
I was born as bald as a cue ball; that is why my mother had my ears pierced within months of my birth so that I would not be mistaken for a Boy.
Earrings. I work at a computer 8 hours and up and the noise wearing rings and bracelets makes on a keyboard drives me nuts. I don’t wear necklaces because I’m always catching them on something and either breaking the chain or choking myself so earrings it is.
Earrings – Right now baby boy is in the grabbing shiny objects phase so bracelets and studs are difficult.
Last recommendation was a T3 curling iron, I am horrible at doing hair, but somehow I can manage with that iron.
I don’t feel fully dressed if I’m not wearing earrings.
CONGRATULATIONS! And Happy Birthday Connor!
Hope you’re feeling well & Sweet Connor is doing well too. 🙂
No hair, love bracelets, and so proud of you for producing such a lovely daughter! My own daughter is just three-weeks post c-section (lovely grandbaby #3!), and she is doing remarkably well. Will pray the same for you! ??
I’m so glad that you and Connor Claire are doing well, and congratulations to you and your family! I hope that Tabs is accepting of his new assistant :).
I prefer necklaces, but I also like earrings. Braclets seem to get in the way when I work, so I usually take a pass on them.
I was born with no hair. Then it came in blonde and stayed that way until I was about 4 years old. It kept getting darker after that and now my hair is dark brown. I wish the blonde had stayed.
Congratulations on Baby Connor. Love the name!
I love to wear earrings of all kinds.
Congrats on your new baby!
Last make-up purchased: Clinique liquid eyeliner pen!
i prefer earrings but my choice of earrings is sometimes unusual and i don’t match them either. I have a total of 5 piercings
I was born with a ton of hair. Now its thinner than I would like 🙁
I love earrings! I have 7 of them and it keeps on growing:D

Congratulations!!!
The last makeup item purchased was the Mac Kohl eyeliner in Teddy.
Hi Karen! Congrats to you and your husbands brand new baby Conner! I hope you are able to get discharged today and that the new journey of being a mom will be a great one!
I’m in an accessories craze right now where I’m buying classic pieces such as solid colored tops and adding accessories like necklaces and scarves to my wardrobe. Loft seems to carry some of my most recent accessory purchases.
Since it’s rainy, haven’t worn many except scarves. Waiting till it gets warmer and less rainy.
I would rather wear a necklace!
I was in labor for 27 hours before my first born came into the world. My subsequent two were scheduled cs and was much easier!!?
Congrats!
Everyone loves to talk about how I was born with a full head of black hair! LOL Can’t wait to hear about Tabs and Connor having adventures 🙂

We all love Connor already! So happy you’re headed home!
Congratulations!!! I’m sure Tabs will love his baby sis. The last beauty items I bought were a Bobbi Brown lipstick in Uber Beige and rose hip oil for my very dry skin. Hope you get some rest.
The last makeup item I bought was liquid eyeliner.
I most often wear just earrings, but sometimes i wear a necklace
Oh gosh, I can’t wait to hear a recounting of that meeting!

I hope you’re home by now! Congrats, and welcome, Connor!
I was born with a bunch of hair that gradually fell out when I got to be about 6 months old. There are some great pictures of me from that time where I look like Einstein.
I have no piercings. As I’ve said before, I’m not into unnecessary pain.
Glad you’re getting some solid sleep hours logged! Give those sweet baby cheeks a few extra kisses for us ?

Congratulations on the baby girl! I just use Dawn dish soap and warm water to clean my brushes and then dry them upside down for a day or two. It works great and it’s cheap!
I definitely prefer earrings…I’m a bit of an earring addict, I have hearts, snowflakes, seahorses, turkeys, etc
Great suggestions. Born with hair. Two piercings. Gimme earrings every time. Recommended lots of beauty companies to friends: Mally is one of my favorites along with Jan Marini and Josie Maran.
Fun Fact: My brother has more piercings than I do!
Congratulations on beautiful baby Connor! My last makeup purchase was the Divine Wine lipstick by Maybelline…I believe its a dupe for MAC Diva and oh my, its such a pretty color! A bit too dark for spring/summer but will be absolutely gorgeous come fall 🙂
The best makeup brush cleaner is olive oil with a couple of drops of soap. That’s all you need, homemade. Saves a ton of money and works just as well.
Congrats on your arrival of your bundle of joy! I am wanting to try the Nars matte tinted moisterizer along with the nude beauty blender. If I lose 5lbs by the end of this month, I will reward myself to this.
I only have my ears pierced. My mom took me to the mall to get it done when I was nine years old, after months of me begging her. She had always worn clip-on earrings herself, so she decided to get her ears pierced as well that same night.
I only have my ears pierced. 2, 1 in each ear
I just went to Sephora today. To celebrate getting an A on my final!! I got some skincare products a restock and a new item. I’ve started to realize that I have more than enough makeup and I’ve been focusing on upping my skincare game.
Were you born with hair or without? Without.
I would rather wear a bracelet
Hope going home and getting settled in as a new mum all goes really well, Karen!
The last enthusiastic recommendation I made was to a friend looking for lipstick. It was NARS audacious in Juliette-so pretty for summer and MAN that formula is just fantastic!
Connor Claire is beautiful! Will you wait to get her ears pierced so she can make the choice? I got mine pierced when I was around 13 after a couple years of begging my parents! I just have the original, one piercing in each ear. I don’t want any more.
I could imagine all the returns though, “I bought this when I was not of right mind” haha
Nevertheless, I would want a sephora at a hospital. I want a sephora errwhereee actually.
I was born with so much hair, I remember my mom saying she would pick me up from my crib and I left so much hair on it. I would shed like a chick haha.
I’m not a fan of jewelry. I only wear rings.
Hope you are home now and I am excited to hear about Connors and Tabs first meeting. I bet he loves her 🙂
I would rather wear earrings!
The last piece of makeup I purchased was the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer in medium custard. I’m still trying to decide if I like it. The coverage is great but I think I should have bought a shade lighter. Maybe I’ll try it again when I’m “self-tanned.” 🙂
Congrats on your new baby! I hope you got to go home today!
I was born with a full head of curly hair!
Hi.
Happy weekend!
10 piercings for me ?
I’m always recommending Paula’s Choice skincare. Just the other day, Someone close asked how to make their neck prettier & I recommended the Intensive Retinol Serum.
Maren recently posted … Get Undepressed! the 17th (Things that say “Avoid me”)
The last piece of makeup i bought was a Sleek blush, really needed one.
I was born without hair, just some “peach fuzz”.
The last makeup item I recommended to someone was Urban Decay’s Ultimate Ozone. I used to use Paula Dorf’s Perfect Illusion for lips to hold my lipstick, it was my HG product, but they discontinued it :(. I settled for MAC Prep + Prime lip (which was just “OK”) but when Ultimate Ozone came out I rejoiced in the fact that it’s been the CLOSEST to my HG lip base so far – I have lipsticks lasting me 12 hrs+ – they don’t come off until *I* take them off!
My last purchase was one of the Nars audacious lippies in the color Anna. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl Karen!! ❤️
Wishing you congratulations and lots of rest after the delivery. Enjoy having your baby girl home.
Congrats and best wishes on mommy hood! Hope your labor and delivery process was a positive one.
The last make-up item I bought was the UDxGwen Stefani blush palette, I also recommended that one to quite a lot girlfriends 😉
Your first Saturday giveaway with baby girl here, woot! 🙂
I was born with hair. Lots of black fluffy hair. Now I have the saddest hair ever…

I had barely any hair when I was my born, and both my kids had even less, but they’ve made up for it now.
Congrats!
I was born with hair.
Congratulations! Here’s to a speedy recovery. You now have an extra pair of hands to help you with swatches!
Congrats on Conner! The meeting will go great I’m sure! The last makeup product I recommended was Mac Prolongwear concealer, I just love that stuff. I keep trying others but nothing seems to quite stack up to it.
Thanks for the giveaway. My latest make up purchase recently is Physician Formular Argan oil BB cream
Dear Karen,
So glad that you are doing well by now, enjoy to get to know your precious little girl, I am mother of two BG’s, big girls by now.
I was born with black hair and a squeezed nose, als I came 14 days too late and obviously had no more space *lol*
Earrings and rings are my favourite jewellery.I have six earrings , three of then in the auricular cartilage, does this count als piercing? I got them wegen I still was in my teens and one called it piercing, at least here in Europe 😀
The last recommended beauty product? May be the Chocolate Bar Palette, als it is hard to get here, but soon I will be heading to the US after ages and get all those fancy products you are presenting me all the time ?
All the best for you ?
Welcome to the world Connor Claire! Hope you are both recovering well. x
Hello Karen,
Welcome to the world Connor!!! So glad everything going grand! The very last thing that I enthusiastically recommended to someone was Revlon’s Colorstay Creme foundation! I love it over BECCA, KatVonDee – all of them. I’ve tried many and they all go back to Sephora. It blends like a dream….. I just can’t wear it in the summer so I go to the liquid version. It has an impeccable finish and doesn’t budge. I’d like to find a high-end one that I really like, but I just haven’t. I’ll keep looking!!!
So glad everything’s well and hope the transition with Tabs goes well…. Gracie I don’t know how she’d do… she’s accepted my boyfriend.. and loves him. God Bless all of you!!!
Grace and Peace,
Gina, Tony, & Gracie…
My ears aren’t pierced and I rarely wear bracelets, but I love necklaces!
Congratulation on your Baby. Welcome home to Connor and her Mom. Photo of Tabs and Connor would be very cute. 🙂 Wish health and happiness for your family. Much love.
I was born with a shock of dark hair, then I lost it all and sported a bold bald *haha* look before turning into a blonde. I haven’t been quite as daring with my hairdo ever since! 😀
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!
I have my ears pierced but I never wear earrings in them. I also have my septum pierced and wear a small silver ring in it!
The last beauty product I enthusiastically recommended to someone was a moisturizer containing bee venom. I was too scared to try the product myself! That person (my cousin) is always game to try new stuff!
Congrats on your baby!
I’m an earring girl all the way
The last piece of make up I bought was lipbalm. This was 3 years ago. I need some new pieces.
I’ve bought Maybelline PUSH UP DRAMA mascara and it’s not the best!
I know this is a beauty blog but i look forward to seeing more pics of miss Connor!!! Was born w full head of hair, wonder if lil miss C will have your waves ?
Would you rather wear earrings, a necklace or a bracelet?
I need the earrings otherwise I feel naked, messy and not feminine
How many piercings do you have
4 I have 3 on my ears 2 in one and one with just one and a belly piercing
What’s the last piece of makeup you bought?
a primer
I was born with brown hair, then it fell out and grew in blonde! So happy for you, Karen! Connor is gorgeous! Xx
It would be awesome if they have Sephora vending machine on every floor at the hospitals.
congrats on the new wee one! We just got a Sephora location in the area recently, I havent had the chance to check it out yet though. Ill assume its just like online and Ill want to spend far too much money there 😛
The last makeup item I bought was a lipstick that I really didn’t need! Congrats on the baby, she is beautiful and I look forward to seeing more pictures of her.
I was born without hair. I was completely bald until I was three.
I was born with a full head of hair and had to have a trim at 6 months because my hair grew over my eyes. Congrats on your little doll!
Congratulations on the baby girl!
Only piercings are on the ears. 3
This is such a great contest ! , thanks for the chance to be entered. i was born with a lot of black hair
i was born with out hair, i love cleaning my brushes with zote cleasning bar for $1 from walmart, and i always always am wearing my hoo earrings.
No earings, at all! I had problems when I had my ears pierced when I was younger and don’t want to try again…
I’m glad that everyone is doing well! I have 2 earring piercings. I always wanted a third on my ears, but the first time was so traumatic!
You are going to be a great mommy!
I still haven’t found a good brush cleaner so hopefully the comments here will help! I hate cleaning my brushes because it takes so long.
The last makeup thing I bought was the UD XX Vice Reloaded palette and I LOVE it!
No piercings!
Congrats on your baby Connor!!!
I just picked up the Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Lipstick and it smells amazing!! Resisting the urge to buy more! LOL. Have a great week ahead Karen! 🙂
Regina (mybeautymusings) recently posted … NEW at SEPHORA SINGAPORE! (March 2016)
Earrings! Love them and have far too many!
Only wear bracelets for special occasions cause I don’t like anything on my wrist besides my watch.
Congratulations!!!!!
I was born with red hair – since my parents are both brunettes, everyone told them that it would fall out or turn brown, but it never did.
Glad to hear you will be going home today! Can’t wait to see/hear more about Connor! As a fellow Mama, I love hearing about other’s little ones:)
In terms of newest makeup product I purchased, I just ordered the Too Faced PB&J palette online several days ago, and I am anxiously waiting for its arrival!!!
I’m an earrings girl, through and through. A pair of simple studs, usually pearls, complete any outfit for me. They never compete with the neckline and add a nice little surprise for each outfit.
I have 3 piercings and NEVER leave home without my earrings!
my last beauty product, i’ve purchased some hours ago – the MAC ellie goulding halcyon days face kit. i’m OBSESSED with that woman… so i bought both of the face kits (halcyon days i’ve bought in germany, halcyon nights came from the us, as well as the without your love lipstick, which i own twice (i love this colour!). the ONLY YOU lipstick is in my collection as well as the 20 lashes. of course, the bronzer is one of my favourite things to use!
Congrats onConnor’s arrival. <3
Both of my kids were born without hair and didn’t grow much beyond peach fuzz until age 18 months or so. Congrats!
I left maternity ward with my infant 5 months ago (already have one toddler — everyone is still getting used to the situation). Since the birth of my youngest, I’ve been desiring for each store to have a drive through. I don’t feel like dragging two kiddos in the snow to get my concealer! Sure, I can order online, but this requires the level of thinking ahead I do not currently possess. If I have a 3-year-old neighbor’s birthday party happening this weekend, I need high-end products NOW (yes, I know how pathetic this sounds, but these are my occasions to doll up these days…). The Sephora drive through should have three or four lines, like a bank, and a simple system for choosing cosmetics that asks you what your skin type/color is etc. Wouldn’t it be something?
The last “piece” of makeup I purchased was actually a haul of several Marc Jacobs items, including a few eyeliners (had one before, loved it so much I went back for more!), a blush, and the coconut water primer. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great eyeliner try these – no skipping, tugging, and such a smooth, effortless line. I don’t have the steadiest hands so I can’t use most eyeliners – but these are the bomb!
So glad that you and Connor are doing well! I have only two piercings now (one in each ear) but in the past I had 14 🙂
Congratulations, Karen!! I hope you, El Hub, and Tabs are enjoying every second of your precious little girl, which I know you are! God bless you all!
I think id have to go with necklace!
Congratulations Karen for the arrival of baby Connor!
The last cosmetic product I recommended was Clarins’ Double Fix Mascara Sealer. This is a great product! Thank you for the giveaway!
I only have 2 piercings – one in each ear lobe.
I love necklaces!!
I was born without hair!
Thanks for the chance to win!

The last makeup product I bought was a morphe pallette! It’s incredible and I can’t stop recomending it.
India recently posted … New Arrivals At Costco Beauty!
The last product I recommended was Kevyn Aucoin’s everyday mascara. It’s amazing! I’m totally hooked.
I was born with hair! My almost seven week year old was born with so much hair he was famous in the hospital! The nurses kept coming in to see him!
i think people should use brown mascara more often. everyone wears black one and it doesn’t look that great on everyone. if you have green or blue eyes, try some brown one
I always forget how much I enjoy going for sushi until we go for sushi again. It’s so delicious and the more people who come out for dinner the better it gets. We shared mountain rolls near the end of the night and they were deffinitely the hit of the meal.
Congratulations Karen! Say goodbye to sleep.
Last makeup item I bought (yesterday) was MAC Studio Fix Fluid. My first ever liquid foundation. I used to think that I didn’t need foundation because I had really good skin, and I would do a lot of smokey eye looks. I just learned that regardless of how nice your skin is, if you’re doing a smokey eye or any kind of bold makeup you need foundation to pull it all together, otherwise, you look not finished. Also, moisturize. It’s one of the differences between amateur and professional looking makeup application.
I bought a couple of the news Bite Beauty Amuss Bouche lipsticks! Love them so far! I got Rhubarb and Sake. I’m thinking a bright and a darker shade are next!
I recently started to enjoy makeup and find the ELF brands so great to experiment techniques and colors to match my skin tone before buying something at sephora, now I have my friends doing it too!
The last product that I brought was mac’s blot powder pressed, as a present for my bithday.
Best brush cleanser is the one from MAC.
I hace 6 piercing in my ears.
MATORA=Maternity ward Sephora!! Love the idea! I hope the whole family is home, resting, and getting along with Tabs!
I’ve finally introduced myself to Kevin Aucoin products, so I just bought a lip liner, lipstick, and sensual skin enhancer!
Would you rather wear earrings, a necklace or a bracelet? I usually wear the same earrings all the time. And necklaces get tangled in my hair at the nape of my neck too much (I wish I could wear them!) so I’ll have to go with bracelets.
I was robbed last week for the first time in my life. I got so traumatised and depressed that I decided to buy some new make up to put away my misery. It kind of worked!
The last thing I bought was Smashbox foundation that didn’t work out. I’ve been struggling lately to find the right foundation 🙁 the Colour ID system at Sephora was giving me suggestions all over the map! I’m half a shade lighter than NARS Syracuse, so my goal for the week is to take a bunch of swatches and samples and solve this puzzle!
I cannot wait to hear about Tabs meeting Connor Claire.
I was born with a little hair, but it was platinum, so it was hard to tell. I have three holes in each earlobe, but the top ones are nearly closed. It just got to be too much trouble. I turned 40 and now I’m all about the simple.
I’ve never seen this giveaway before, how fun! I have a nose piercing which I love, with a small stud. I like the little sparkle it gives.
I did used to have my lip pierced as well as an ear lobe stretcher, but I think my alternative days are gone now I’m pushing 30!
Would you rather wear earrings, a necklace or a bracelet? I always wear earring small ones
Congrats on your baby-girl!Ilove idea Sephora in hospital!!!
My favorite brush cleanser is the mac brush cleaner for brushes used with powder products, and I like the cinema secrets cleanser for brushes used with cream products
The last makeup I suggested to a friend was Urban Decay Naked Skin. She was just getting into makeup and knew she wanted foundation, but didn’t want it to feel heavy on her skin. The wide range of colors also made it easy to find her match. 🙂
I was half bald for months! Combover baby~
Congrats on your beautiful new baby girl, may she warm your heart and bring you a million and one smiles!! (And that’s all in a day) I love using the beauty blender solid to wash my brushes. I do want to try Dr. Bonner and the Cinema one too. I giggled when I read about wishing there was a Sephora in the hospital. That would really be a good idea. I bet they’d make a ton of money. I was born with light brown hair, not a ton but enough to tape a ribbon in. That’s what my mom and aunts did to me. I was the last of 3 girls born into a family of mostly boys. My female cousins are 15 + years older than me. Enjoy all the fun and not so fun times with your baby, you will blink and she will be starting college. Best of luck
I was born with a full head of hair, 4 teeth, and long fingernails. Note that I was made in American but born in Germany. German nurses did not cut my nails or wrap my hands so I scratched my face all night and my mother refused to believe the “monster” child presented to her the next day was hers. (I’ve often wondered myself if perhaps there was a mix up.) Teeth fell out, got regular baby teeth, then adult teeth. Hair, well, even though I was born with it I seem to have been at the end of the line and all they had left was STICK STRAIGHT WON’T HOLD A CURL, FINE AND THIN. Since that was all they had left that’s what I got–a LIFETIME of BAD HAIR, no matter what I do product or device wise. I was also born tongue-tied, which can contribute to failure to thrive, but Mother some how convinced the Docs to clip it (runs in the family) even thought they didn’t believe it.
Karen I am so happy that BG Connor has arrived–as difficult a trip as it was for both of you!!! WOW!!! Hope you know we were all pulling for you. I am surprised that Kaiser waited so long to do a C-Section.
Welcome to new Novato Girl Connor! Long may Princess Connor reign!
I was born with hair
Today i bought a clarisonic at sephora, i shop there weekly !
I last recommended Nars’ tinted moisturizer, mainly because of the formula and shade choices. Congratulations Karen!
I was born with no hair:( But it grew in pretty nicely.
Congrats on the new baby!
Hello!! I’ve recently became a makeup junkie. I was always avoiding stores like Ulta and Sephora … I just couldn’t get myself to pay $54 for an eye pallete. I was content buying drug store products. Now … I LOVE sephora and ulta and can say I know what all the hype was about. The last product I bought was an Younique moodstruck pallete … which I’m still on the fence about. However, I’d recommend Urban Decay naked 2 pallete to anyone who wants to listen.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!! I had a MC on Wednesday and even tho I was only 7 weeks, it hit me pretty hard. I cried when I read that your baby was born, not because I was envious but because I was truly happy for you. You are going to make an excellent mother Karen!! This is an attest that wishes do come true and mine will come true when it’s time!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your daughter is adorable! I just purchased Urban Decay’s eye shadow primer.
Were you born with hair or without? With a lot of hair that went straight up!
What’s the best makeup brush cleanser? I like Cinema Secrets and then soaping it up with the Beauty Blender Cleanser or another brush soap.
Would you rather wear earrings, a necklace or a bracelet? Necklace
What’s the last beauty product you enthusiastically recommended to someone? ABH lipglosses
How many piercings do you have? 0
What’s the last piece of makeup you bought? I pre-ordered the Manny MUA palette
I just bought Bite Beauty lipsticks because I can’t get enough of them. I made a custom lipstick from Bite Beauty’s Lip Lab a few months ago. I don’t want to use it all the time because it might run out so I’ll distract myself with their other awesome lipsticks! 😀
The last piece of makeup I bought was the Becca Backlight Priming Filter and I LOVE it. My skin has been dry and dull lately with winter and it just lights up my face. Very happy 🙂
The last makeup products that I bought were the Tarte Lip Paints and I am OBSESSED! I love the shade Namaste.
My current skin cleanser is by Neutrogena, it’s their natural cleanser. I use this with a konjac sponge! Love it!
I would definitely rather wear earrings. I feel so naked without them.
Many congrats on the birth of your daughter!
The last beauty product I recommended was the Eve Pearl primer. It’s wonderful! Congratulations on the birth of your sweet daughter <3
My last makeup purchase was a Laura Mercier coral lipstick. I’ve been loving creamy formulas and the Laura Mercier are one of the best.
Congrats on baby Connor!!!! I’m due in 5 weeks with my little girl. So exciting:)
Congrats on the bebe!
Sephora in a hospital sounds like an awesome idea!!
I’d rather wear a necklace! Earrings take way too long to put on for me and bracelets seem to make my wrists itchy.
Congratulations! Welcome Connor Claire!
2 GOOD PIERCINGS (one in each earlobe) and another in the right earlobe (now closed) which made me cry onstage at a modeling gig years ago.
Just bought some BB cream.
Congratulations on going home with your new little girl. Connor Claire is a positively adorable girl with an adorable name. The last makeup I purchased was the Urban Decay XX Vice Reloaded palette from Ulta.
Hi, so this is kind of random for this blog post but I just wanted to say that I came upon your blog post on chin acne a few weeks ago and for some reason yours just stuck out to me out of the hundreds ( and i mean hundreds) of articles I read. I picked up the kate sommerville antibacterial lotion and the neutrogena acne face wash and its actually made a difference in this short time. I didnt get the other two products just because I’m in college and it’s a little pricey but I’ve found alternatives that are similiar and work pretty well! I also have those painful underground pimples as well as normal whiteheads and blackheads along my jawline and chin. It was so frustrating every morning waking up and seeing a new pimple or no progress at all, but it seems to be getting better and it’s pretty much thanks to your tips. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🙂
•Were you born with hair or without? Born with hair but not like my younger sister – she had a mop of hair when she was born!
•What’s the best makeup brush cleanser? I’m actually not sure what it’s called but it’s a blue liquid in a bottle and it’s amazeballs. That’s a word, right?
•Would you rather wear earrings, a necklace or a bracelet? I’m a bracelet person 🙂
•What’s the last beauty product you enthusiastically recommended to someone? Hourglass Veil primer. I love this stuff. Makes my face so soft – sometimes I just wear it without any foundation or anything! I’m a huge fan.
•How many piercings do you have? None. I’m super afraid it will hurt like crazy lol…
•What’s the last piece of makeup you bought? Last piece of makeup I bought was an eyeliner pencil. My brown had died and I needed a new one. I haven’t bought a lot lately because my mother-in-law likes to send me new things she’s tried and my husband signed me up for a three month trial of Birchbox so I’ve been experimenting. Plus, I’ve been getting into Korean beauty and not wearing a full face of makeup lately.
Definitely earrings. Was it Nora Ephron with that book? I hate my neck or something? Yeah, I’m there. And in case I need to write something with, you know, pen and paper and not on my device, sometimes bracelets get in the way. But earrings? Never.
The last item of makeup I purchased was the Too Faced Love Flush Blush wardrobe – love it!
This is so gennneeroouus! I usually wear watch + ring. I find bracelets in the way of my typing and my ears are too sensitive to earrings!
Fingers crosseed!
Thank you for the giveaway (and I can’t believe you’re holding one so quickly after Connor Claire’s birth!).
Hair — I had a full head of brown hair when born, and it promptly fell out leaving me a towhead when some finally grew back in. Every photo from toddler and early childhood shows me with blonde hair. Unfortunately, it darkened to mousy brown over the years.
Last item of makeup was a Marcelle Lux lipgloss in fuchsia. It has the nice side effect of leaving a pretty pink stain after the gloss wears off.
I would recommend Bite Beauty lipsticks to *anyone* — last spring I bought my first one at Sephora, in Fig, and wear it every day at work. So moisturizing. It got me in trouble at work because it left a mark on my coffee cup which I’d forgotten to wipe off before putting it in the dishwasher. I understand their new formulation isn’t as moisturizing, though.
Just watched the Tabs meets Connor Claire video. Am now dead from cute.
So cute how tabs reacted when Connor whimpered. Total wth moment!
congratulaciones from Mexico!!! she is beautiful!!!!!
*congratulations!
sorry, autocorrect!!
Would you rather wear earrings, a necklace or a bracelet?
– A Necklace, i have so many which are so sentimental to me from family!
What’s the last beauty product you enthusiastically recommended to someone?
– the profusion contour, highlight, blush palette
How many piercings do you have?
– 2 (1x each ear)
What’s the last piece of makeup you bought?
– Maybelline Fitme Matte foundation
I would rather wear earrings 🙂
I always wear a necklace and earrings, but rarely ever a bracelet. The last product I recommended I think was probably Kate Somerville skin products in general. They’re great! And I was born with hair! Congratulations!
I have 6 piercings! 5 in my ears, and 1 in the back of my neck. The back of my neck had 2, as a pair, but one of them rejected and I had to remove it. 🙁 I couldn’t get it repierced right away because I was pregnant at the time…but the tech said I also shouldn’t pierce while breastfeeding. Soooo…I’ll have 1 funny-looking neck piercing for over a year. Oh well! 🙂
I’d rather wear a bracelet, though I don’t wear much jewelry…
I’m a die hard Bioderma fan!
Bracelets all the time!
Your baby is so darn cute!!!
I absolutely love wearing layered necklaces and bracelets.
Oh my gosh your little girl is gorgeous! Tabs seems to be content 🙂
As for the questions, I was born with a FULL head of hair!
So glad you got a solid 4 hours! There will be ups and downs in your sleep schedule for the next few months but remember to nap, nap, nap every time Connor does. And, just a reminder, no one cares if your house is clean. Sleep first! 🙂
I was born with hair. But interestingly enough, I did not like milk as a baby. I drank it (I didn’t have any other options!) but my mother said I preferred water. To this day I do not like milk. I still love water 🙂
I was born with (very patchy) hair!
The only jewelry I wear on a daily basis is my watch, so I guess a bracelet?
The last beauty product I recommended was my MAC lipstick in Twig.
I have no piercings.
Last piece of makeup I bought: Buxom Lash Mascara
Hope you are enjoying some well-deserved time off with Connor Claire!
I don’t have any picture being a newborn so I really don’t know if I had hair or not. I’ll ask my mother…
My last beauty purchase? Well, I went a little crazy with the MAC Flamingo Park Collection.
I finally treated myself with the Tartelette in Bloom palette! I have enough neutral palettes for sure, but I couldn’t pass it up!
So glad you and Connor are back home. Hope things are going well! 🙂
Congrats! I was born with a full head of hair. Last beauty purchase, I picked up Mac Perky paint pot. I hope they make it permanent, but sine it is listed as LE, I picked up 2. Nice peach for the lids. Circling Chanel’s Malice next.
I have 5 piercings.
Congratulations she is adorable.
I was born with a head full of hair.
Congrats on your beautiful daughter! I love her name!
welcome to motherhood! so happy for you and your fam!
I was born without hair and didn’t actually have much to speak of until I was 2. Congratulations on the new baby.
CONGRATS, MAMA!! <3 <3
Congrats Karen! Connor is a little doll! Wishing your little family all the best and sending good wishes your way! x
Congratulations on your sweet baby girl!
I just ordered MUFE hd foundation in R210, praying it’s the right color!
Last make up I bought was both Kat Von D shade and light palettes and they are beyond AMAZING! Can’t recommend them to people fast enough! Congrats on your gorgeous little bundle of joy!!
I smell sibling rivalry!! Congratulations though ?
Congrats on baby!
I was born with hair and hope my baby will be too! Sephora carts in the hospital ward would be amazing. Even a little vending machine would do!
Hope everything went well with baby girl and Mr. Tabs! When I was brought into my mom, she says she just woke up from the anesthesia and swore they switched babies. Her hair was black, dad’s blonde and me, bright orange. I used to think maybe there was a mix-up, but now I definitely have my mom’s long thin nose. Hope you have lots of fun as a new mommy and that you can get 5 hours of sleep tonight.
Congrats on your new baby girl! <3
I love wearing necklaces 🙂
Congrats on your baby daughter! Mini-Sephoras in hospitals would be awesome. They could totally add them on to the gift shops 🙂
I feel naked if I don’t have my earrings on.
I had a full head of black hair when I was born! It was crazy!
I strongly recommend Laura Mercier’s matte bronzer to anyone! It doesn’t go on too heavy, so it is perfect for my fair skin! I also just bought the LipKit by Kyle Cosmetics to find out what all the hype is about!
The latest foundation I purchased was Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Foundation.
Definitely earrings followed by a necklace and then a bracelet.
Loving the pics of your newest addition!
I rather wear earrings.
You’re a mommy, yay!!! Congratulations you all of you! Just watched the video of Conner (btw, what an awesome name, love it!!) and Tabs meeting lol “he’s all puffed up” lol. I can’t wait to hear more about them. Good luck, honey!
Connor (sorry)
The only piercings I got were on my ears, one on each, and I’m diffidently an earring girl, changes the look of an outfit! Will you be piecing the little one’s ears?
My favorite jewelry items are earrings. The bigger, the better!
Earrings, earrings, earrings!
Congratulations
Mini sephoras would be nice or maybe a sample concealer to take home. The last makeup item I purchased was the new Nars Skin Tint.
There will be a solar eclipse tomorrow in my hometown. Yay cant wait!
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance. Right now, I have six piercings. I used to have eleven but have taken some out for my job. In terms of jewelry, it’s hard for me to wear bracelets and earrings are slightly uncomfortable. If I had to choose, I’d wear necklaces only (or RINGS). 🙂
so excited to see pics of the new babes!
I was born with a full head of hair! My mom and I had to stay in the hospital for a few days (I was a C-section baby), and apparently the nurses had lots of fun giving me a new hairstyle every day because they’d never seen a newborn with so much hair before.
So many people on this blog! This is pretty cool, I would love to buy a new lipstick because the ones I have always fade away after a sip of water! 🙂
I only have my ears pierced
love all kinds of makeup however can’t often afford the good stuff. would really love to win.
Congratulations! She is adorable! I was born without any hair and hatdly had any until a year old.
I was born with a full head of hair like all of my siblings. We all got lucky on the whole voluminous hair business which I am eternally grateful for.
The last item of makeup I bought was UDxGwen lipstick in Spiderweb. It’s my first true red lipstick, which I’ve been nervous to try, but it’s so fun to wear.
last piece of makeup I bought was a few of the new colourpop ultra satin lips and lippie pencils.
I always recommended Tarte Circle Defense Undereye Concealer—it was great, perfect, fantastic! I loved everything about it and should have been their spokeswoman. Sadly, I discovered it just before it was discontinued. Story of my life!
Welcome to the world, Connor!
I don’t have any piercings.
I have two piercings and I prefer to wear earrings, they’ve always been my favorite jewelry~
My favorite makeup brush cleanser is the Beauty Blender Solid!
The last makeup that I bought were actually the product but different manufacturers and that was Primer. Next purchase is a Luminizer so I am doing my research.
Congratulations!!!
I have 6 piercings (2 in each ear lobe, belly button and tongue). 🙂
