Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Sept. 22

September 22nd, 2008 by Karen 63 Comments


Water lilies at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers

  1. Mood:
  2. Sleepy

  3. Fragrance:
  4. Chanel Allure

  5. Nails:
  6. My fingers and toes are bare right now, but later today I’m painting them in The Good Earth, a shimmery dark brown by Sally Hansen.

  7. Sweet tooth:
  8. Carrot cake with *lots* of cream cheese frosting

  9. Celeb crush:
  10. He’s mainly a local celebrity, but I’m still giddy about meeting San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom last week.

  11. Makeup crush:
  12. Cat Eyes ($16) eye liner by Pop Beauty, an eye crayon shaped to create the liner “flick” at the ends of cat eyes.

  13. Something you don’t know about me:
  14. I love the beach late at night.

  15. Latest makeup or beauty find I’ve been telling my homies about:
  16. Chanel No. 5 Eau de Premiere. I always considered Chanel No. 5 a little too overbearing and stuffy, but I’m really into this interpretation of the scent. It’s lighter and not as rich old lady as regular No. 5. I think it just might be my new fall fragrance.

  17. Hair:
  18. A loose, low bun.

  19. Goals for the week:
  20. To keep repeating my mirror mantras (hey, those things actually help!), to survive work and to put together the prize bags for the bachelorette party I’m throwing this Saturday. Got any ideas for prizes?

Your turn. 🙂 Just copy the following list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

    Mood:
    Realllllly sleepy

    Fragrance:
    Burberry’s Brit

    Nails:
    I picked the polish off my fingers, but I’m still wearing OPI’s “Got the blues for red” on my toes.

    Sweet tooth: I’ve been craving pies lately. The last good pie I made was this apple cheesecake-y type thing with a graham cracker crust. I would love some chocolate cream pie right now!

    Celeb crush:
    Lately it’s all about Jon Hamm from “Mad Men”, and my girlcrush on that show as well, Christina Hendricks. Both of them are redonkulously hot.

    Makeup crush:
    I really want another kabuki brush, and the MAC 182 has been calling my name…

    Something you don’t know about me:
    I’m obsessed with the UK and wished I lived there…

    Latest makeup or beauty find I’ve been telling my homies about:
    Not all that “new” of a find, but the Bourjois nighttime lip treatment is amazing. Never thought I’d be high-maintenance (-ish) enough to want something else on my lips apart from good ol’ Vaseline (don’t ask, my mom used that on me as a kid and I always used it up until now), but this stuff is seriously amazing.

    Hair: Heh, never do anything to my hair. Down as usual, and being pulled up into a ponytail or a messy bun whenever I feel like it during the day. Seeing how much longer I can take having it this long (trying to grow it out to donate it).

    Goals for the week: Staying out of trouble, geting volunteer stuff straightened out, and more cleaning. (As for bachelorette prizes, it all depends on how tacky you’re gonna get…my really girly friend gave out really girly prizes like cute little purse mirrors and brushes and pocket palettes, and my other not-so-girly friend, uh, gave out…other things. Let’s just say that somewhere in my closet is a penis-shaped shot glass).

    Yeah, it’s brown, but ever since I dyed it brown (from pink :D) I’ve hated it. I’m just worried that I’ll be lazy and avoid doing the roots, since I found it hard when I was blonde so I don’t know how I’ll cope with bleaching, toning, and turqoising every month.

    You’re brown now, right? Have you ever dyed yours a different color before?

  32. Karen says

    September 22nd, 2008 at 3:18 pm

    Hi Ellery,

    Yeah, I’ve done lots of color, but I stick to more traditional shades, although I do get tempted to do a stripe of purple or blue here and there. Right now I’m back to my natural color, which is really dark brown/almost black. But previous to this I’ve had caramel, chocolate brown, blonde (the J. Lo look… SO HIGH MAINTENANCE) and red hair. It’s fun!

    In the end though, the root upkeep *kills* me. Props to you if you can handle being in the salon every few weeks, babe! Turquoise will be sooo hot, though, and a fun change for you. 🙂

    I love to bake cupcakes of all kinds

    Buttercream frosting

    I have so many crazy cupcake themes molds
    And accessories for baking it’s sickening

    Frosting like you LOL for his bday

    I also love to bake all sorts of cookies

    My goal one day is to quit my graphic design

    he and i started dancing a few weeks ago, experimentally. but we work well together so we decided to make it more permanent!

    we’re doing an argentine tango and paso doble exhibition in november, if all goes as planned.

    i myself will be doing a foxtrot (slowfox if using international categorization) and a rumba with my teacher as well. the practices are gruelling.

    just on a random note… have you ever tried NARS the multiple? i would like to know if it’s worth investing my money in.

    Have you ever watched that show Pushing Daisies? I can’t watch it, because every time I do, my pie cravings go overboard. 😉 It is a good show though!

    Hi Ines,

    That’s a whole lotta dancing. Are you doing the choreography?

    I have tried the Multiple in the past. I liked it, but didn’t feel like it was something I couldn’t live without. I have the Laura Mercier version of it, and I rarely reach for it. I gotta say though, that I do like the stick versions because they are easier to use than liquids. I guess if you try it and absolutely love it (ie, you’d wear it every day) then it’s worth the price. 🙂

    Hi Elle,

    Strawberry pie is sooo good, especially when the fruit is fresh… yum! I haven’t seen Pushing Daisies. Isn’t that on HBO?

    Did you ever watch a movie called Waitress with Keri Russell? It’s all about the life of this woman who happens to make all these wacky pies. I’m talking wacky like spaghetti pie!

    Hi Karen!

    Pushing Daisies is on ABC. It’s a really cute show, and the characters are really adorable. I think you’d like it!

    I loved Waitress! My friend is a big Serenity/Firefly fan (and therefore is in love with Nathan Fillion) and she took me to see it. Some of those pies looked really, really good too…

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).
