Leave a Comment for a Chance to Win a $50 Sephora E-GIFT CARD! (Ends Monday)

May 14th, 2016 by Karen 258 Comments

** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

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

Sephora giveaway!

“Who? Who?” the owl asked outside my window today. “Mrrrrrowwwwww!” answered the interested tabby on the windowsill.

Rise and shine, morning glory! Happy Caturday!

So…Tabs has been all about his new employee’s Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym lately, even though I keep shooing him away from it because I don’t want him tearing it apart.

He’ll reluctantly walk away only to sneak back a few minutes later. It could be the only thing in the middle of the floor, and of all the places to plop down, he’ll plop down right there.

Cats

Cats…

What are you up to this weekend? Do you have any plans? I’m getting a haircut this afternoon, and I’m very excited about it! Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re doing something fun.

    Hey, your ideas brought back a memory from long ago. When I was 4 or 5 I walked in our towns”s spring fashion show. Still remember the dress. Not exactly New York fashion week but in the little town in SD it was a fashion show. Have a great weekend.

And of course after the cleaning is done, I get to spend time with my friends, which is always awesome (and I just got a Sephora shipment, so new makeup to play with for the evening)

    Happy Saturday! I don’t personally know any guys who wear makeup but I follow a few male MUAs on Instagram and I find them hugely inspirational. I think they are helping to expand the perceived box of what makeup can do and I hope they are the beginning of a new generation that embraces makeup as universal. My favorite male makeup lovers on IG are Patrick Starrr, Alex Faction and MannyMUA. They are beautiful, talented people using the medium and expression of makeup to change the world. It’s awesome!

    I had an interesting braces experience. I got braces in middle school and unlike most people, while in the process, because my teeth were so compacted and interestingly enough my wisdom teeth were also growing too. So, in middle school (8th grade) I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Needless to say, the braces appointment right after this had to be the most painful mouth work ever done…. Had braces, interesting and painful experience. Hey… At least I got my chipmunk face out of the way early! ?

I really enjoy my Girlactik bronzer and Natural Face Glow because they are so subtle as well as the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light & Mood Light but then I just purchased MAC’s Lightscape Powder and that is very comparable and lovely for a great price. Hard to choose! Hope you and baby are doing well.

    Our cats love that gym mat too, when Colin was a baby and we left it out all the time they’d often chase each other through it at all hours. There’s a lot of little claw holes in it. And if they got really fired up, they’d dive under it. Cats and baby stuff, seriously. Right now one of them is hanging out in the bottom of the exersaucer. No plans for me except maybe I can arrange a trip to Ulta to return some things. Erik had another bad night, up every 30-45 minutes from 7pm-1:30am, then up at 3am and 5am. At least it was the weekend so Sean could get Colin up and I slept until 8:30am, but all told only got about 5.5 hours and when it’s broken up over so many small sleep periods it leaves me feeling pretty wrecked. If we gathered all my weekly comments on these posts, it would provide some interesting insight into his sleep, I gather. Hah!

    I wore braces for two years, from 9th grade to 11th grade, complete with rubber bands. It wasn’t fun but I’m so thankful my mom insisted on them. I had 8 teeth pulled (4 wisdom teeth and 4 eye teeth), I don’t have those pointy fang teeth. After that I had a spacer on the roof of my mouth to widen my bite and when that come out I got braces. It was a long painful process but so totally worth it.

    Best quality makeup brand for the money (best value)? I think now that the Mac pro pans have lowered their price, that item wins hands down, but for an entire brand? Perhaps Sleek or Zoeva?

    Do you SCUBA? I tried Snuba once, didn’t like the regulator pushing air into me.

    I never had braces as my teeth were cosmetically pretty straight. As a kid I thought I was lucky because I made it through middle school and high school without them. Now as an adult with jaw and bite issues, I totally regret not getting them. Sigh…Maybe someday I’ll end up with adult braces to fix it.

    The best quality for value makeup brand has goooooooot to be Colourpop. Their matte and satin matte lipsticks are so flipping amazing and their eye shadows (though they do take some working with) are out of this world beautiful and pigmented. All for drugstore prices!

    I have a hooded sweatshirt I ordered from Japan. It’s called the Mewgaroo (I think), & has a big fuzzy pouch in front for carrying a real live furry friend. It also has cat ears on the hood & thumb holes on the cuffs, which have paw pads on them. Have only been able to get a cat to stay in the pouch pretty briefly, thought my dog is stoked to be there when she wants to be extra warm & cuddly. I think next time I get a kitten, I’ll start training it young, so I can carry it around in there all the time.

    Happy Sunday!
    Aww, Tabs looks fab lounging on the baby gym. He reminds me of when my kitties attempted to take over my son’s gym way back when. 🙂
    As for cat-themed accessories…..hrm, do Hello Kitty stuffed animals count? Right now I’ve got 5 of them(!) sitting on my computer monitor and desk. I also have Hello Kitty luggage tags. Yes, I do get odd looks, but who cares? I can easily find my luggage! LOL

    I think makeup can enhance a man. I sometimes use concealer, primers, and translucent powders on my husband when he wants to look his best, and no one would ever know! So yes I know a man who wears makeup, my hubby! Only on occasion tho!

    I think Milani kills it at the drugstore. They do have some misses, but far more hits and the pigmentation on their blushes rivals (and in some cases surpasses!) my high end blushes.

    I walked on the runway for my friend’s final presentation when she graduated from design school. The “model” who was supposed to walk got sick and I was the right size although shorter than the model. It worked out OK. But she owed me big because some of the designs were completely sheer and I had to wear like 3 inch heels!

    Hope that your weekend was great and you got a great hair cut!

    232 comments in, I might as well be commenter number 233, because, why not? ☺️ Yes, I’ve walked a runway before. I did some lite modeling when I lived in the Atl. The experience was okay but I quickly realized that the modeling world isn’t for me. It kinda felt like a plastic, competitive, Barbie doll world & I didn’t quite fit that mold. Hope you loved your cut. I’m getting a good friend of mine to trim my ends on Friday, though I think it’ll be more like a cut because my ends are raggedy ?

    A hundred years ago when I was in high school we had a beauty and beau review much like many schools have today. The difference in then and now is when I was in school the student body voted on who would be in the review rather than anyone who wants to enters today. And I was honored enough to be one of the chosen ones to be in the review and walked a runway. It wasn’t a very long runway but it was a run way.
    I hope you have a great day and thanks so much.

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).
