  5. Favorite lipgloss:
  6. This fluctuates often, but as of last week it’s been Chanel’s Tangerine Dream.

  7. Favorite hair product:
  8. Bumble and Bumble’s Curl Conscious Nourishing Masque. It smells divine and totes gets my hair to behave.

  9. How’d ya sleep last night?

  11. Breakfast:
  12. Bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, a cup of orange/mango juice and coffee.

  14. How to handle stress better and figure out a to-do list system that works for me.

  15. Outfit:

  17. Song stuck in my head:

  19. Weekly goals:
  20. Develop a work schedule or a to-do list and stick to it, buy some gum and houseplants, exercise every day because yesterday I tried on some pants and they were a little too snug — so NOT crackin’.

      For spring shadow shades… well, how do you feel about cream eyeshadows? Benefit has three amazing colors out for spring along with some complementary lipsticks. I’m also liking Chanel’s quad for spring, too. Here are a few links to some swatches and reviews:

    Karen,

    About “If You Seek Amy”…if you say it kinda fast it sounds like she’s spelling out a four letter word (Starts with F) and then saying “me”. So, the words go “all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek amy”. Tricky tricky, Britney!

    hi karen! love soft brown e/s. i’ve been using it as my default crease color with everything for a while now. i also use it sometimes before a darker color (in the v or crease). isn’t it fab? it was hard to come by as girls that are a bit darker usually use cork as their default crease color (which is what i use for my brows)… tete a teint (sp?) is like soft brown kicked up 10 notches! ha!

      I could use Soft Brown every day of the year, too. Whenever I reach for Cork I think of you — I know it’s your brow color!

      Have you ever used Brownscript? It’s very nice in the crease as well.

    La Liste:

    Mood: Sleepy

    Favorite eyeshadow: HIP Duo in “Shady” and there’s these new I-Shimmers from Wet N’ Wild that I’m in love with as they are very pigmented like HIP with just a touch o’ shimmer. I bought all three!

    Favorite lipgloss: My HIP Jelly Balms….all three of them (Plush, Delectable and I bought an orangey one yesterday that’s divine). Applied like a balm but look like a gloss.

    Favorite hair product: Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo. That stuff gets rid of hair product build-up like no tomorrow. I use the stuff religiously every week to rid of build-up in my fine tresses.

    How’d ya sleep last night? Well, but it’s cloudy and dingy outside so I feel like I could use another four hours.

    Breakfast: I don’t eat breakfast. It kills my stomach. I do plan on a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch (I’m three hours ahead of you so it’s 2:39 here).

    Skill I’d like to learn in the next sixth months: How about the skill of what in the world am I going to do for an occupation as being an interior designer isn’t going to pan out apparently.

    Outfit: Still in my “I Love Snoopy” pajamas, red Old Navy robe and slippers.

    Song stuck in my head: “The Creationist” by Kerli

    Weekly goals: Test out my new Wet N’ Wild I-shimmers and fawn over the Biore Polish for transitional skin. That thing is godly (thank you for doing a review on it). It got my skin glowing for once and the scent actually doesn’t irritate my super-sensitive nose.

    Favorite hair product: I haven’t found my HG hair product yet, but I really like Pantene’s volumizing gel
    How’d ya sleep last night? pretty soundly, but I had an interesting (and slightly depressing!) dream

    Hey Karen and Karen too,

    In regards to getting oranizated and staying on top of all of the stuff that floats through your head, I really recommend this training that I took.

    http://www.effectiveedge.com/dev/efe/efew.nsf/site!readform&pg=prodGTEo

    I took it through my work, if you work for one of the companies listed then you may be in luck, if not, then it looks like you can take the training on your own. It was one of the most helpful training classes I have ever taken – WARNING – it does require a bit of a change in habits, but it really gives you strong guidance in the right direction.

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).
