Dao says
The burned orange color: I think you should try pairing it with the browns like Soba. I would use this color on the lid and Soba on the crease. Then if you decide to go really crazy then add a blue or teal or green eyeliner.
The other way to rock the shade is to split the lid in 3 parts, inner, middle, and outer lid. Use a very bright gold color like MAC chrome yellow on the inner lid, the elusive orange color in the middle, and a coppery brown like MAC Coppering on the outer lid. Contour with a brown color or MAC Amber lights, then highlight and you’re done.
I have Fire Spot from the Moonbathe collection and it’s an orange so I know how to deal with the stuff. It’s pretty hard to handle but once you get the combo nailed down, you’re good to go.

Hi Yellow Fever,
Did you see the Wall-E movie yet? Isn’t it great?
When I’m trying to lose weight I count calories, too. Not everybody believes it works but for me watching my portion size and counting calories totally help!
Good luck on your weight loss goals; I know it’s a challenge!
Karen says
Hi Dao,
I like how Aveda hair products smell, too. They have this one line called Sap Moss which some people think smells to earthy but I love it.
Karen says
Heya Dao,
Thanks for these color ideas! I think I can handle the first one so I’ll give that a go sometime this week. The duo also comes with a very pretty gold so I’ll add that onto the browbone or the inner corner. I love the idea of the pop of teal liner.
Karen says
Hi Fie,
How fun! How long have you and your BF been together? That’s sweet of him to take you shopping (I gotta drag El Hub while he’s kicking and screaming… or at least take him to a mall with a computer store with internet access).
I love and hate getting new running shoes. Love because they are new; hate because I don’t want to have to break ’em in. Good luck with your excercise goals this week!
Karen says
No worries, Fie! I’ll take care of it. 🙂
Elle says
Mood: For a Monday, pretty happy! (Seeing “Wanted” over the weekend helped, I can’t lie. My city’s so awesome on-screen, and the James McAvoy eye candy didn’t hurt either. I also love getting makeup ideas from Angelina Jolie’s movie characters, even though I look nothing like her ;))
Mascara: Stila’s Major Lash mascara (think that’s what it’s called?) in black
Breakfast: A Fiber One oat/chocolate bar and some blueberries

Outfit: Pink v-neck top, white cami, khakis (from Abercrombie, and they apparently don’t make them anymore–boo!), and brown sandals

Oh yeah, we saw Wall-E yesterday! Loved it! Really one of Pixar’s best!
I really ended up needing that tissue you mentioned, but for an entirely different reason! The opening short with the magician and the bunny made me laugh so hard I had tears streaming down my face! It was so funny! Thank goodness I had heeded your warning and was wearing waterproof makeup! 😉
Fie says
Hi Karen,
We’ve been together for 3 years but we’ve been friends for more than 6 years. 🙂 Haha he admits that he loves shopping as much as I do so it’s not much of a problem. The lack of funding is another story though.
I hate breaking into new shoes too :/ Sometimes it leaves me with blisters (ouch) but oh well, need to exercise.
p/s: Thanks, love for taking care of the problem.

as for you deep orange shadow, I say do something that seems simple, but will still be dramatic due to the color: pack that orange on the lid, have a light highlight close to your natural color on the brow bone, and pile on the mascara. then do subtle bronze cheeks and sheer peachy/coral lips.

Karen says
Hi Elle,
I think I want to see that film (even though it got so-so reviews). Angelina’s makeup always looks so fantastic! I have yet to master her pale lip/matte eye thing, but hopefully I will someday. 🙂
I agree with you on the MAC Dollymix. It’s so scary in the pan, but completely fabulous once you get it on. One thing I like to do is pop a little shimmery beauty powder on top. So pretty!
Good luck with your goals this week (especially the giving of the piece of the mind thing, you go girl!).
Karen says
Woodwinked would probably look really great in the crease with it. Thanks Elle! I’ll give it a go. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Jess,
You can survive this week girl! Hopefully it’ll go by fast, and next thing you know you’ll be sitting at the theater nibbling on some popcorn and watching my man C.Bale working that awesome bat suit! 🙂
What’s your fave from the Neo Sci Fi collection, btw?
Karen says
Hi Glosslizard,
LOL! Is that the series of Buffy episodes with Riley? I always thought she Buffy should’ve ended up with Riley… le sigh. Speaking of vampire slayers and vampires, I had an awful nightmare about mutant vampires early this morning. I gotta stop eating baked Cheetos before bed.
I’ve had that mask for a few months. Love it for the dead of winter!
Have fun gardening today. 🙂
Oh that’s great! I’m glad you liked the movie. The opening cartoon totally reminded me of Looney Tunes!
Karen says
Hi Fie,
Aww, that’s so great! I think it’s wonderful to start off as friends. It sounds like you are really happy. 🙂
Regarding breaking in shoes, one thing that helps me is moleskin. Have you ever used it?
Karen says
Hi Elena,
That’s too bad about your mascara. 🙁 I’ll be sure to stay away from that one because my eyes are sensitive too.
LOL, I am all too familiar with the “Gimme coffee now” feeling.
Karen says
Hi Lehea,
Double belch on paying bills! I spent most of yesterday cleaning off my desk, paying bills and doing finance stuff and it wasn’t very fun. It’s one of those unfortunate consequences of being an adult.!
I’m glad you liked the movie! I actually want to see again, LOL.
Karen says
Hi Maria,
Yay, another Wall-E fan!. 🙂 Sorry to hear about your crazy co-workers! I hope they’re behaving now. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Amanda,
I take it you guys bought your patio furniture! I wanna come over for some grilled shrimp (j/k… kinda. I’m really hungry right now so it sounds extra good).
Thanks for the orange eyeshadow suggestion! I will have to try that — probably will pair it with soba! If I am feeling extra ambitious I might even attempt the falsies (we’ll see).
Karen says
Hi Christine,
How do you like that mascara base? Do you notice a dramatic difference?
I’m so ready for the weekend, too!
Good luck on your goals next week… what kind of shampoo/conditioner are ya looking for, btw?
Karen says
Hi KK,
I didn’t know you were a teacher! That’s great. What subjects do you teach?
BTW, I love that you are still in bed drinking coffee at 1:08. Can I just say I’m so totally jealous?
Karen says
Hi Tania,
GIRL! I saw him on that cover, too. I almost bought the magazine, but then I felt like a teenager buying Tiger Beat (LOL) so I refrained. I’m looking forward to the movie on Friday, though!
Good luck moving – I hope goes quickly and painlessly!
Karen says
Hi NurseExec,
That’s an interesting trick. I have Lash Blast and it really doesn’t work for me; maybe if I cut the wand in half it’ll make it easier to work with. Thanks for the idea!
Karen says
Hi Rachel,
I LOVE that book! I totally stayed up late to finish it, and then ended up bawling at 3:00 in the morning. I actually wanted to send her a fan letter because I was so moved, but unfortunately she doesn’t accept fan e-mail (boo).
Yeah, the straightening balm will get ya stick straight! Did you use a hairdryer and a brush? Or a flat iron?
Elle says
Ooh, thanks for the tip with the blush, Karen! I just ordered some of the loose beauty powders from MAC…the LE ones. I’m hoping one jar lasts me along time, because I’m trying to wean myself off the whole ‘buying backups’ thing…ugh! 🙂 And thanks for the words of encouragement. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, ya know? 😉
Oh, also, speaking of Christian Bale (and tying him into my awesome hometown)–he’s been here quite a bit with filming Batman (last summer) and the new gangster movie with Johnny Depp, and every story I’ve heard about him has been freakin’ glowing. My friend Joe owns a bar downtown, and Bale came in last summer–by himself, totally unrecognized–and he stayed for 2 hours, was nice to the entire staff, and left a reallllly nice tip. Of course I had to be out of town that week…bummer! 🙂 Love him!
KK says
Hey Karen,
I teach pre-k….the little ones! I lOVE IT! I have been a teacher for 7 years! I am out of bed now and have moved to the couch watching my 4th episode of the OC!! But I do have to go to the gym at 5:30…so soon my “me day” will be over! how sad!!

Karen,
i <3 the shiseido mascara base and mascara. i have terrible straight asian lashes and nothing comes close to the stuff at shiseido. i do have to say that covergirl’s lashblast comes close though.
i was looking into the scalp benefits shampoo/conditioner from aveda, but it smells too organic-grass-and-wheat like to me lol. ive been looking into some bumble and bumble stuff after viewing your site, but not sure yet. i guess im still stuck using my paul mitchell stuff until i can find something good! 🙂
Karen says
Hi Louise Gray,
How do you like your Kona coffee? I can’t handle it if it’s 100% (too strong), and am a blend girl myself. Right now I have a bag of hazelnut chocolate flavored Kona blend at home. Mmm, coffee.
Hope your day got a little better, lady. I know how it is to feel yucky on a Monday.

Hi Elle,
The MAC Loose Beauty powders are so beautiful. What colors are you getting? I have Natural Flare and I love it — I barely have to use any to get a nice shimmery glow.
OooOOO! I loves me some C. Bale! Seriously, I know he’s married, and I’m very aware that I’m married, but in a parallel universe he’s so writing me email poetry right now. That’s really encouraging to hear that he seems so nice… and normal. Dangit, girl! I wish you got to hang out with him at your friend’s bar. Oh well, let’s cross our fingers and hope he comes back. Be sure to take a picture of him with your phone and then send it to me ASAP! J/K (kinda)

Can’t wait to hear about your Cool Heat stash, WOO HOO!

Hi Rachel, London,
Oh boy! You are busy, lady. Hope the kiddies feel better and that your work and chores get done without any hitches.
Karen says
Hi Christine,
My lashes are like yours — totally straight. I must write that one down on my list. I have been on the hunt for the ultimate mascara for over ten years! I usually find one that I’ll be faithful to for a few months and then I usually move on.
Yeah, Aveda is one of those scents you’re either going to love or hate (I’m a fan of the Sap Moss). Have you checked makeup alley yet? Paul Mitchell makes some good stuff! I’ve been alternating my B&B with the Lavender shampoo and conditioner. It smells great and leaves my hair very soft.

Glosslizard says
Y’know, I was pondering the Mediterranee look and, call me crazy, but I might even go with a bit of purple to keep from looking too Autumn-ish! You could do the muted gold (the other shade in the duo) on the inner corner and browbone, the orange on the lid and then a deep purple or maybe even Climate Blue at the very outer corner! Spicy and bold! 😮
TUPRNUT says
I love this DVD, Karen! It’s a great workout and has left me very sore, but very pleased! If you’re into the workout DVD’s and you’re interested, I’d definitely recommend this one. Check on the reviews on it at Amazon.com – that’s what sold me!
TUPRNUT says
Oh, one more thing. My husband (the physical fit, military man) didn’t believe how sore I was after my workout with this DVD, so he insisted on trying it out last night. He was beat and sweaty by the end and gave me “major kudos”. It made me feel good that I could get through it and he was so tired by the end of it! 🙂

Fie I lovveeee Moleskin!!! Moleskin They make journals, well, not journals, they’re more like old fashioned notebooks with tons of pages and really good binding. They are miniature books that last forever and can really take a beating.
Sorry for butting in, but when I saw moleskin I couldn’t resist interjecting.

Hi Glosslizard,
I have a matte purple pigment that this combo might look really great with. Were you thinking a lil’ bit of wing or in the outer V?
Karen says
Hi Tuprnut,
Okay, I’m on it. It sounds like it’ll help me get my sweat on when I have days when I can’t run outside. Heading on to over to amazon… 🙂
Ha! Something similar to me happened with El Hub a few years ago. He always gave me crap when I’d come home all tired and sweaty from spinning class. I made him come with me one day and homie almost didn’t make it through the entire class. Afterwards he gave me props, too!
Karen says
Hi Squirrel,
Nice! How long on are you vacay?
That Vichy Thermal Water sounds lovely. I bet it would be nice and very cooling if you put it in the fridge. I do that with body sprays/splashes when it’s hot. It’s a nice treat.
Karen says
Hi Megan,
Lucky girl! Have fun during your hair appointment. What are you getting done? Highlights?
I have a love/hate relationship with running, too. I’ll send you good running vibes this week. 🙂

Hi Fie,
It’s like this super sticky soft bandaid that helps provide a barrier between your feet and the shoe. It comes in sheets and you can cut them down to size. It helps me when I’m breaking in heels, running shoes, you name it! I get mine from Walgreens — here’s a pic.

you know i was kind of sceptical about the sephora mascara, i know i’m pretty new to the make up world but i have ALWAYS loved mascara. i tried the atomic volume mascara the same time i tried maybelline’s define a lash volumizer and ugh the maybelline sucks! it doesn’t do anything for my eyelashes but the sephora mascara makes my eyelashes crazy thick and a little long, but i’ve been using the talika lipocils so it might be that too. i wanted to ask you what kind of moisturizer do you use? i live in tucson and its ridiculously HOT my skin keeps drying up in little patches =[

Beths last blog post..A Spinal Final Straw
Holly says
Hi Karen,
I had been meaning to try that mascara for a while after hearing some good reviews on it but because its relitavely cheap compared to the usual brands I would go to for a mascara I didnt hold up much hope for it being good and when I opened it up and saw such a huge brush I was sure my mum was going to get yet another hand down haha but I am really impressed!
I really liked how round the brush is because I found it really easy to roll up the lashes which curled them really nicely.
The tubes thing is a bit weird I took it off with Lancome bi-facil so it just came off like normal mascara really but I did like that it came off really easily so I didnt need to rub at all (unlike with the Gurlain le 2 which seems to take forever!!)
I got it in the black by mistake, I meant to get the brown but out of habit ordered the black but im happy with it and I would definately try the other colours too! I dont think it quite qualifies for a holy grail mascara but for the price certainly im really impressed!!
Oh ive not even begun beauty product packing yet it is going to be too painful not bringing everything haha! Im so glad I bought a MAC professional palette so I will be able to take all my MAC shadows with me though haha!!
I found some great bug spray left over from my summer in Cape Cod so im going to take that although I probably will never use it as I HATE the smell! I would rather be bitten and smelling like coco mml than stinky and bite free!

Goals of the week:
Megan says
Girl I had a good time on vaction. It was my mom, my sister and my two nephews (7 y.o. and 19 months old). It was great, but I’m not at all prepared for a long vacation with a toddler. He has way too much energy. after about 5 days I was like look dude…you need to chill out and take a nap…:-) lol we did have a good time though.
So I forgot to check the notify me of follow up comments, so I was reading down through the list and there’s another Megan…and oddly enough she picked the exact same quote that i did. How weird is that? Maybe it’s something with the name.
Karen says
Hi Iheartmakeup,
Got it! Now it’s time for some mascara experiments… 😉
Karen says
Hi Roxy,
Hmm, I have a few. What kind of skin do you have? I have acne prone combo skin that breaks out easily. I really like Clinique Moisture Online for winter, and Moisture Surge for summer. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Ditte,
Girlfriend, that’s so hot that you ride a motorcycle! I’ve always wanted to roll around in a Vespa, LOL. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Beth,
You can do it, girl! I’m pulling for you. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Holly,
Thanks for the info on that mascara. I’m excited about the brush (nerdy, I know)!
Whatever you do don’t leave packing up to the last minute. Especially don’t leave it up to 2:00 am the night before. 😀
I got some combo bug spray/spf from Off! a few years ago that I liked. I get eaten alive by mosquitos when I go hiking and it was the only thing that worked for me. It was a lotion, believe it or not!
Anyway, if I don’t talk to you before you go I hope you have sooo much fun!
Karen says
Hi Glosslizard,
Okay, I’ll try that. Hopefully tomorrow after my a.m. (or p.m.) Chanel adventure I’ll get some good makeup time in! Orange shadow, fear my wrath!
Karen says
Hi Karen B.,
MMMM, broiche! I think I’ll get one from the bakery across the street for breakfast tomorrow.
What’s going on in Sweden?
Karen says
Hi Megan,
That’s so weird! Maybe she was inspired by your quote. 🙂
What a fun vacation! It sounds like you guys got to get some good family bonding time in. I have never gone on vacay with a toddler, and it certainly sounds like it would be both fun and totally exhausting at the same time.
How did your beach makeup hold up?
Karen B says
Well, I’ll probably study there for three months, I’m really excited about it 🙂
