I finally got over my Justin Bieber fever only to catch a bout of MAC To The Beach (GREAT!).

Sorry, I can’t stop saying Justin Bieber fever. 🙂

(Justin Bieber fever, Justin Bieber fever, Justin Bieber fever…)

MAC’s newest summer collection doesn’t have anything to do with teenage Canadian pop stars, but it has been sparking fevers here at MBB headquarters.

And the fever’s spreading fast! If you comment on this weekend’s giveaway, you might catch it, too.

The prize

One lucky lady will win MAC Hipness Blush, a gorgeous coral powder blush in limited edition packaging from the MAC To The Beach collection (a $19 value).

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I couldn’t resist sharing pics of my new hair! I got a cut AND color (went a little lighter with the highlights since it’s summer). The stylist didn’t take much off the length and mostly just cleaned up the layers.

OH! Bay Area girls (and guys), if you’re looking for a wonderful stylist and can make it to Marin, Bishlam at Salon B in San Rafael is a miracle worker, especially if you have unruly or curly hair (like moi).

  21. Hi Karen! Cute haircut!

    This week just wrapped up finals week for me. On Monday I had two finals and I already got the grade for one of those classes. I was so worried about failing that class that I didn’t want to check my grades online. I’m so relieved now because I actually passed! 🙂

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  78. I’m joining the chorus of hair-adoration. It looks really cute. Mine needs a cut too but I’m trying to grow it long again so my semi bad hair days will have to continue a bit longer I’m afraid. It’s in that weird in between stage: not a short bob anymore but at the back just too short to put it up in a ponytail.

    And on twitter I’m autumnverse btw 🙂

  104. Someone said something about the movie “Law Abiding Citizen”, and more terrifyingly, actually recommended it to other people. It’s seriously one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. The entire storyline is just ridiculous, there is no real excitement anywhere and it doesn’t even have the whole scary thing either

  121. Love the new hair! The contrasts are just right. I recently made a major change in my own hairstyle, cutting it into a VERY short pixie cut. I figured I had to try that style at least once in my life, so gathered my strength and went for it. The worst, I decided, was that it would be horrible and I’d run screaming from the room, and I was willing to take the risk, knowing that it would be only a matter of time before it grew out. And guess what? It looks great! AND it’s so easy to care for and I’ve received so many compliments that I’ll probably stay with the cut for years to come. What a great reminder that sometimes we just need to face our fears and jump anyway.

So, luckily the MUA was there and we got the products that we were lemming for. We got our products before the launched day! yeyyyy!

It’s just your typical family of the 21st century – a gay couple with an adopted Vietnamese girl (named Lily), a older man re-married to a younger Columbian bombshell with a cute but very mature 8 year old son, and a “normal” family (a dad, mom, teenager, tween, and 8 year old boy). These three families are all related, and you can imagine what they go through together!

    My secret T.V. guilty pleasure is Cougar Town…hate the name, but once I got over that, it is funniest show ever…like Friends, but all grown up.

  333. I am killing time right now. I put too much lotion on after my shower and I’m all “gooey” so I am waiting for it to absorb. I can’t wait until this collection comes out!

  334. Coral is a universal color that looks great on everyone. I like coral because pink and orange don’t work well on my slightly olive skin. MAC products are terrific. What a great giveaway!

  335. I love the reddish highlights! I’ve always wanted to get something similar, but never get around to it. Also, my dog is sitting on my lap and its making it hard to go through my blogs!!!

  363. Considering how little I actually want from the MAC To The Beach collection, I’m really excited for it! Everything is gorgeous!
    At least there’s this MAC collection coming out. I mean, my life is fairly over. Heroes got canceled! So sad! 🙁

  366. My stomach has been upset all day. So I caught up on my tv watching. Just finished vampire diaries, loved it. Didn’t see the twist coming. Also saw a full preview of true blood. June 18th can’t come fast enough.

  368. This blush looks amazing. Got my fingers crossed! Drooling over MAC To The Beach got me through end-of-semester woes. Can’t wait til the collection drops!

  373. I went to Bay to Breakers this weekend. The weather was dreary and cloudy and I was FREEZING in my costume! But it was fun seeing the other costumes and dancing around on the streets of SF. There was a Jersey Shore float where they were throwing beer and had confetti canons! It was amazing.

  374. I have to say, I just don’t get the Justin Bieber madness. I have friends who think he’s adorable & so talented… but I just can’t get on board.

    Also, every time I read your blog & see Tabs I smile. He is the cutest thing–unlike my lukewarm acknowledgement of Mr. Bieber, I am ready & willing to be an official member of the “I Heart Tabs” fan club!

  387. i last had my hair cut back in October 09! I’m way way overdue for a chop! I have very unruly curly hair, and its a near disaster every time I get it cut! Fingers crossed for this time round. 😀

    Reply

  390. Love the new do!
    I got a haircut today too. I asked the stylist to chop off 4 inches or so so that my layers would just hit my collarbone. The stylist looked at me like “What? So short?!”. Lol, I’m so glad I asked for shorter hair b/c it feels so light and summery now!

    Reply

  391. Cute hair!

    I had to take off an entire row of blanket I knitted because I messed up somewhere and I don’t know where. 🙁

  394. Hey!!! I just wanted to say that your attitude is so fresh, spontaneous and self-confident that I find you really stand out from other bloggers. I wouldn’t even define you as a blogger, you give the feeling of a friend or neighbour like you say. It’s good to have a different type than everybody else after all!! Take care!!!!

  395. I need to get a haircut! my hair is sooo long now. I think I want to get it cut like amanda seyfried in Dear John.
