    Mood: Sleepy! Waiting for that Starbucks mocha to kick in…

    Goals for the week: Working out and making my doggie feel better. She’s been sick all weekend and nothing is worse than a sad dog with a stomach bug who feels guilty about getting sick on the carpet. 🙁

    (Oh and Karen, I was trying to reply to one of your replies to my question about MAC Fix+, but it didn’t work–so I’ll say my thanks here! I think I’m going to return it…was going to use it with my makeup as kind of a setting spray like the MA suggested but I really don’t think I need it and I’m not really crazy about it anyway. Thanks for letting me know your opinion on it!)

    Hi Ellery,

    Hmm, I’ve just recently gone darker too. My hair stylist told me that it would be a good two weeks before I wouldn’t be shocked when I looked in the miror. Maybe you’re going through an adjustment period? What made you decide to go darker?

    Hi Shefali,

    Sunbasque rocks! It has a *lot* of payoff, though, so I have to use it with the skunk brush, rather than my regular blush brush.

    Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

    I love Kelly Clarkson, too. I didn’t really follow her while she was on Idol, but started to like her after I heard her sing the song The Trouble With Love Is. I thought I was listening to a young Mariah.

    Oh, and you’re welcome regarding Fix+. Now you can use that $ for the Cherry collection, wheeee!

    It was because of all the root touch ups I had to do, It’d be bleached and then toned every month and it was starting to get damaged and I felt I needed a change.

    I did it about a week ago though and I’m already getting used to it. You pull of dark hair perfectly because you have dark skin, but I’m soo pale (and lovin’ it!) so it just looks wierd right now. (:

    Hi Beth,

    Take care of yourself, girlie. It sucks to be immobile but be glad you didn’t break anything! That would’ve been a gazillion times worse.

    Feel better!

    Hi Bella,

    Have a great time at your friend’s wedding. Do you plan on checking in your baggage? If you’re carrying it on with you it can be pretty stressful to bring your makeup on, because you never know what you’ll be able to get away with. During my last trip back from Hawaii I almost had a fit in line because they almost didn’t let me through with my new Chanel (they did, eventually, thank god).

    LOL, and can I just say I have a crush on Jesse too? Unfortunately it makes me feel like a total pervert, but, whatever.

    Karen, I’m seriously eyeing either Gleeful, Nuance, or Warm Soul. I think Warm Soul is just a darker version of Nuance, but still…I love how these go on, and yes, I love the sparkly quality to them as well.

    Gentle and Love Thing have turned out to be really great. I can’t wait to see what these look like on you, along with some of the eyeshadows! The only thing about the eyeshadows that bugs me a bit is the fact that it can leave quite a bit of glitter underneath your eye, which isn’t awful, but I’m just not used to that yet…maybe there’s q technique I have to learn or something. They do still look great though, and the color payoff is awesome.

    Mood: Bummed because my celly died due to an unfortunate accident in my purse. Hopeful, however, for the rest of the day.

    Cheeks: I found the MAC Sheer Shimmer Powder in Revenge lying (in wait?) in my closet! MUST. WEAR.

    Fragrance: Bath & Body Works spray in Magnolia Blossom

    Sweet tooth: Brownies!

    Celeb crush: Too many in my head. But if I have to pick one at random, based on cuteness and shaggability… Lee Pace, from Pushing Daisies. Geek-like, but cute.

    Makeup crush: I’m in love with the MAC Hot Contrast eyeshadow that I just bought yesterday. In fact, anything MAC has right now in the new collections qualifies as a product crush, ever since I saw them at Nordstrom.

    Outfit: Today sounds like a long pants day. Hee.

    Hair: Tied back. Too lazy to do anything.

    Song of the day: “Anticipation” by Carly Simon

    Goals for the week: Follow up with my job applications. Finish up my short stories. Prepare for the inevitable. 🙂

    Hi Elle,

    Do you apply your shadows before your foundation/powder or after? I am very clumsy and end up getting shadow all over the place, so I always do my eyes first. That way I can clean up any stray eye shadow before I apply foundation and powder afterwards.

    Fresh Green Mix came into my life today (woot) along with Dainty and Merrily blush. I will have to wait till I get back from dance to play with them.

    Ooh, thanks for the tip, Karen. 😉 I usually do my foundation first and then try that whole ‘translucent powder under the eyes’ thing to sweep away any excess, but it doesn’t work too well (probably because at that point the shadow has already ‘stuck’ to my foundation). Seriously, what did I do before finding your blog? 😉 Have a great night!!

    Thanks for checking, Karen! I’m actually sending out my resumes to several universities right now – I’m angling towards getting a research/ admissions/ student services position, since I just graduated with a Masters in Education and would rather concentrate on outreach and working with older students anyway. Maybe that’s why I got all the MAC stuff yesterday, too (it’s in my current blog entry) – I’ve noticed that good things happen when I get good makeup! 🙂

    I think I’ll opt for silver folded cards with a vertical printed paper band (ivory or soft pink or something like that) on the front cover and a narrow silver ribbon in the back. I spent all yesterday afternoon picking fonts (it’ll be way too much work to handwrite everything), and I finally decided on a combination of Copperplate Light and Edwardian Script. 🙂 (I’m picky about details…) What was your wedding invitations like?

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).
