Mornin’, y’all (said in my best Southern drawl). I’m still a little woozy getting up, so please forgive me if my fingertips trip on the keess — on the keys, okay? I’ll be much better as soon as I’ve had some coffee.
Anything new in your corner of the aquarium? After a late dinner of baked trout wrapped in banana leave (that’s how they spelled it on the menu) and veggies last night at a place in San Rafael called My Thai (Great name, right? Great food, too.), we came straight home.
But then I brought my laptop to bed…
I gotta stop doing that. Wi-Fi has not been kind to me in the sleep department lately. It makes it too easy to stay up too late watching online TV and surfing the web for prospective cat rescues.
Must. Exercise. More. Discipline.
Yeah, right… Not with kitten season upon us and new episodes of Project Runway to watch. 🙂
Seriously, Burt, what happened, man? Gotta hold it together.
Anywho, I hope you have a great weekend ahead of you. Let’s try to get it off to a good start right now, and I’m sure by now you know what that means. It’s…

Sometimes I bring the laptop to bed, but it is way more comfortable in my recliner!
I’m cleaning out my closet today.. I’m making my best friend help me!
I have been missing my other half badly…..I wish I could hear from him soon.
Hope he could get back from the road soon.
I bring my laptop to bed so I can watch all my British TV shows that my husband doesn’t like. 🙂
I’m so tired that I don’t understand why I’m going shopping now. Well…I do xD
🙂
Woke up this morning feeling horrible! Ugh, hangovers suck!
Currently Reading Eat, Pray, Love- one of the best books I’ve ever read so far!
Time flies by! Mid August already!! Soon it will be Christmas!
I ALWAYS use my laptop in bed. So relaxing.
Sadly, my husband and I both bring our laptops to bed on a nightly basis!
Kittens!! My sister recently adopted a pair of kittens for me for my birthday: a male orange tabby and a female tortie. <3 cats!!!
Thanks as always for the giveaway! Hope you and Tabs have a fun weekend. I love sites like HauteLook-I just ordered a shirt from them the other night 🙂
Love the giveaways. Having a BBQ this weekend!!!
I had to really break myself out of the habit of bringing my laptop to bed however I still do it sometimes. But I’m SO loving this season of Project Runway!
hey girl! loving the site! thanks for the giveaway. never use a laptop in bed! take care k-dawg
Can’t wait to travel overseas early next year! 🙂
i love sephora…. im sneaking and putting on my bare minerals @ work right now… need to visit them soon to restock!
Having car trouble… a win would cheer me up!
I’m with you on the late night laptop-ing. I was out late, my bf and I went about an hour away so he could get some magazines (and I may have found a thing or 5 at Ulta) and then had a late dinner at Uno (made later by a waitress who disappeared leaving me with food but no silverware) My plan the whole way home was to go right to bed, but instead pulled out my computer and watched 2 episodes of MasterChef (I missed a few at the beginning, so I need to catch up before Fox takes them down)
Do you use Q-tips in your ears. I’m trying to quit!
I’m constantly on my laptop in bed. In fact, last night was the first time in recent memory that I actually got a full night’s sleep!
Thanks for the Sephora giveaway. I really love Hautelook, they always have great sales there.
I’ve never tried Daily Makeover, will have to check it out for sure! I need WiFi so I can stay up too late reading and watching everything that I can’t do in a regular day!
do you ever upload your pic to sites like Daily Makeover to try out new looks and hairstyles?
–
Whoa, that’s the first I’ve heard of that site – gonna have to go try it out now! 😀
I use my laptop in bed because there’s no space for a table in the bedroom. Ugh, can’t wait to move into my own place!
fact: got mad love for giveaways 😉 thanks MBB!
Thanks for doing all these giveaways- you are one of my favorite bloggers!
I love using my laptop in bed and I hate not having the charger by me when it comes time to charge it I get to lazy to get it:)
I love using my laptop in bed to scroll through all the sales on Hautelook, Gilt, Rue la la, etc.!!!
Also retweeted this giveaway on twitter (@kimpcole)
I am in bed with my coffee and a laptop right now.
Oh my god… my laptop is like an extension of my body. It’s also my TV, so that doesn’t really help the situation 😉
I’m on my way to a farmers market, I’m excited!!!
I used to bring my laptop to bed, my now it’s usually just the iPad or iPhone.
That’s my goal… Excercise
I used to have a serious acne problem when I was younger, like 15-17 years old, but through a combination of hormonal medication (That looks and works like contraceptives) and diligent once-every-2 weeks facial, my skin thankfully cleared up. Nothing I tried worked at that time, so it was pretty heartbreaking.
The issue contributed to my OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder)- now I’m afraid of touching my face without first washing my hands, leading to me constantly washing my hands for fear of germs and bacteria and stuff on it, or touching my face with anything at all that I suspect isn’t “clean”. I also take pains to make sure that my bed and clothes, for instance, are also clean before coming in contact with my face, and I take pains to sanitise the things I use often at least once every week.
Right now I don’t have oily, acne-ridden skin as I used to, and because of hormones my skin is now dry and sensitive, though sometimes due to the sensitivity I do get a few breakouts, but it’s nothing Egyptian Magic can’t save it now 😛 I’m a convert to Egyptian Magic- it sounds and looks really gimicky, but is really magic.
I love using my laptop in bed ! 😉
Thanks for this giveaway, love your blog !

I adore Project Runway! And I have to agree about Burt. He seemed like he didn’t care at all, which is sad, especially after the dress that won him immunity was so cute!
I am on my laptop in bed right now! It’s the last thing I do before I go to bed, and the first thing I do when I wake up (on days when I don’t have to rush to work– like this morning!) I am enjoying sleeping in and being lazy before I head to work later at my 2nd job. Have a great weekend, everyone!
I want some more Nars blushes !!!
I’m watching the previous seasons of True Blood, so I’ve been bringing my laptop to bed more often 😀
My laptop lives with me. It even sleeps on the nightstand next to me. I’ve read that that’s not the best thing to do, that it interferes with sleep, but I’m way too attached to it.
i used to use my laptop in bed but it would hurt my back for whatever reason…no matter how i sat….maybe because it’s a huge dinosaur lol!

Sometimes, I bring my laptops to my bed. Sometimes, I like to place it on my office desk 🙂
I always bring my laptop to bed! I have terrible headaches often an I’m almost certain they are caused by staring at my computer in the wee hours of the morning. Does that stop me? Nope! Hehe 🙂
My cat is purring like crazy next to me, adorable <3

I’musing my laptop in bed now!
Love your blog!
LOVE the frequent giveaways. Need some beauty goodies before heading off to college!!
I do use my laptop in bed when ever I am tired or feel lazy 🙂 I love watching horror movies in my bed 😀
Lol I spend hours laying in bed online shopping and watching videos on YouTube and looking at makeup swatches instead of doing what I SHOULD be doing- sleeping hahahaha… How’s Tabs El Debarge doing on this fine morning? 🙂
I always used my laptop in bed. I recently got w iPad and it’s worse! There have been many mornings where I’ve woken up with my iPad stuck to my face or under my leg…lol
I definitely need to stop bringing wifi to bed with me! I stay up way too late then can ‘t get my butt outta bed in the morning.
I love using my laptop in my bed. It allows me to be lazy and yet awesome (mostly lazy :)) at the same time!
Favourite acne treatment: Lush’s Cupcake fresh face mask every few days when my face is REALLY bad (I’ve been a mess this summer with all the sweating from humidity). Cetaphil for a face wash, benzoyl peroxide occasionally, and a good moisturizer (currently using CeraVe).
I use my laptop in be quite regularly…what’s better than Netflix, a pillow, and cozy comforter? Oh yeah, and sometimes hubby will watch with me.
I love your blog! Although it makes me frustrated that I can never get some of the things you review ‘coz they are just not available where I live >.<
Fav acne treatment?
Birth control. Oh, sometimes I still get the occasional stress zit, but that’s nothing a little Noxzema can’t fix. But the constant pizza face? Never. Again.
I love hautelook and gilt Groupe! As a matter of fact just made a purchase from Hautelook!
Last night I dragged my bf to inglot with me. I about cried when he brought over a lipstick for me to try bc he thought I’d look pretty in it.
We are in San Antonio this weekend and getting ready to go back to school shopping with my soon to be kindergartner! Have a great weekend all!
Melissa recently posted … Mini Essence Haul – First Look
So happy for another giveaway opportunity! Trying to save money for my fall make up shopping spree in Boston!
I tried to upload a picture to a website to try on virtual glasses, but my computer is new and so I don’t have any pics on it yet and couldn’t grab any from facebook. So I ordered them without a virtual try-on!
love this giveaway! i’m dying to try the new urban decay lush lash mascara and the 24/7 waterproof liquid eyeliner…
Thanks for the contest! What should I say? Well hmm… Did you see the photos of the Urban Decay vol 4??? Totally haute lol!
Yay! Just in time for back-to-school. =)
No laptop in bed. It usually remains in its docking station. I usually try to read before sleep and it puts me right out.
I went camping last night and I was totally afraid of burning the whole forest down. The guy making the fire was totally wasted. Thank god he still knew what he was doing.
Do you ever upload your pic to sites like Daily Makeover to try out new looks and hairstyles?
I went through a phase in college where I was obsessed with doing this – I wanted to cut my long brown hair into a pixie cut and dye it blond, but I was too chicken to actually go through with it.
What do you think about makeup and fashion membership sites like HauteLook?
I think they’re great for women trying to get brand name products on a budget… personally I really don’t care about brand name though.
What’s your favorite acne treatment for breakouts?
I use Neutrogena On The Spot. It’s no magic solution, but it works the best of anything else I’ve tried. Other than that, I try to go by a “less is more” philosophy; no makeup, only wash my face once a day. My face does a lot better when I treat it this way.
Do you use your laptop in bed?
No, I find it uncomfortable.
I belong to HauteLook and have only ever purchased one thing – some Urban Decay products. I always check their makeup sales when they have them, but otherwise I don’t pay much attention.
Have a great weekend!
For breakouts I love to use something with sulfur in it like Murad’s Clarifying Mask or the Doctor’s Sulfur Mask. Love that stuff! Other than helping with the zits it also just makes my skin feel tighter.
There are a bunch of make up looks I want to try. But they will have to wait until Sept.
i love this beauty blog <3
Love using my laptop in bed, with a cup of coffee, too.
Unfortunately, school started yesterday !
I love the Clinique Acne line. Ahmazinggg
perfect weather here in ny, warm but breezy. trying to put my laptop down and do something fun
I think you have to get serious with acne from the get-go – if otc benzoyl peroxide’s not enough – just start out with the family doctor & get referral to derm if you need it/have insurance that will cover it. It’ll save $ & aggro in the long run.
Looking forward to fall!
The only thing that solved acne for me was Differin… now I’ve got a patch of dermatitis on my face that I can’t figure out what to do with.
I love sephora! would be awesome to pick up some new Fall nail colors.
I never bring my laptop to bed. I’ve struggled with insomnia most of my life and my doctor told me that I should make sure to keep the bedroom for sleeping and shtupping only, so my husband & I make sure that we dont have a television, computer, office, or anything else that would ruin the “sleep atmosphere. It’s actually helped a bit.
I’ve spent this morning watching TLC while the BF sleeps ’cause he had a long night.
I always bring my laptop to bed =)…ALWAYS
I actually don’t own a laptop!
yay prizes! my neighbor is remodelling his house and the construction is very loud 🙁
I always have my laptop near my bed and that means I usually go to sleep 1-2 hours later than I should…. terrible habit but just don’t have the strength to break it yet. Having a potluck dinner tonight so spending my time cleaning & cooking!
I’m turning 29 tomorrow and I’m thinking about a new look, totally digging Rachel Bilson and Drew Barrymore’s ombré hairstyle.
I like using my laptop in bed and watching YouTube videos. 🙂
Going to see 30 minutes or less!!
i love hautelook! i currently have a $20 credit but can’t decide what to get! 🙂
I am using my laptop in bed as I enter this contest right now!
I have accounts on Hautelook, Ideeli, and Gilt Groupe, but I have yet to order anything from any of them. I think part of it is the shipping costs. They’re usually kind of high, and sites like Zappos and Amazon have me totally spoiled with their free shipping!
happy saturday!
My kitten is 11 weeks old, and has successfully prevented me from getting ANYTHING done this weekend!
yay!
My birthday’s coming up and I’m having a kentucky derby themed party complete with big hats and fascinators…..pretty darn excited about it and maybe could use some makeup to complete my southern belle look? 😉
If I used my laptop in bed, I’d never get ANY sleep!

Today I suddenly remembered I had hummus sitting in my fridge for 2 weekends. I hope it is still good. I really like the clarity of your blog post pictures. They are very lovely. Also saw in you are in the bay area.. that’s super cool since I am too.
Have a nice weekend.
So excited for the launch of MAC’s Make Me Over Collection! It’s such a huge collection. Hopefully something for everyone.
Stuck inside studying for midterms. Wish I was shopping instead…
YEs! I love Hautelook and Gilt Groupe. As a matter of fact I just made a HauteLook purchase a minute ago which included some NYX nail polishes and an Invicta watch!
I also tweeted!
Thanks!
I thought Burt would be one of my favorite designers, but now, not so much. I really like Laura and Anya.
i should be cleaning my house cuz it’s a mess! But I’m browsing through other people’s blogs right now. =/
Joyce recently posted … Shopping Habits and Limits (Pic Heavy)
I love HauteLook! I’ve only bought from there once, but I was very pleased with my purchase.
Is it bad that i leave my laptop under a pillow on the other side of my bed? And i’m in bed right now on my laptop even though its 1pm!!! 🙂 Great giveaway!!
I always use my laptop (and now iPad) in bed. And bath. I’m horrible but so much more productive. 🙂
I’ll be 30 weeks along tomorrow! It feels like I’ve been this way forever and October will never get here. But it also feels like just yesterday that I found out.
My friends and I are having our annual Cr3w pitch in dinner tonight which we do before we all leave for college. I’m making my famous carrot cake!
Skillet scramble w/ sausage, hash browns, toast & orange juice = a happy belly!
I use the acne.org regi an for my acne. – it’s the only thing that works for me!
Tis hot, I need to buy eyeliner that won’t melt off with my 5 gallons of sweat when it’s 100 degrees outside
Too tired to be clever, but thanks for the contest!
Trying to figure out whether to move our not… we’re looking for a greener environment, but now that an option is opening up we are finding ourselves wrestling with the idea of having to leave the city and all its benefits and easy accessible friends behind… it’s going to need some serious sleeping on!
I love having a laptop, but I sure would love an iPad to take from place to place!
getting your wisdom teeth taken out is no fun at all!
Laptop in bed is too dangerous!!!Before u know it is morning and time to get up…….For acne I like a drop of tea tree oil n that annoying pimple. I like it for everything, actually. My bf tells that I think it will cure everything. And u know, when he is right, he’s right. Just the smell takes a bit getting used to.
Mint Candy Apple looks so nice on my nails :3
I never use my laptop in bed. I strictly keep that in the living room!
I don’t have cable in my apartment, so I only watch television on my laptop. I am obsessed with netflix and hulu.
OMG, laptop in bed is my worst enemy! Before I know it, it’s 3am, and I’ve been on Tumblr for hours. Definitely thinking on banning it haha.
I’m thinking of starting a blog just for fun about my life via photos or something like that and I’m trying to come up w/a name. BTW thanks for the contest!
Sometimes I go into the department store to try things on or play around with the makeup,
only to go home and order online because I like to get packages in the mail:)
I’m much more likely to be found reclining on the couch with my laptop.
I am loving army green nail polish at the moment!
Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday !
Try Mario Badescu drying lotion for break outs. You spot treat, don’t put it all over your face! This stuff is awesome & typically works over night. You can’t get it at Sephora, but you can get it at Ultra.
Oh & all you milk drinkers out there… you might want to change to soy. Milk can cause cystic acne.
Have a great weekend!
I love my weekends no house cleaning for me just lazy day today.
I love getting inspiration for makeup looks from pictures online. Anytime I see a picture of a celeb or model with a beautiful makeup look, I save that picture into a folder I keep for beauty inspirations. I have a library full of looks I want to try out. I also keep tabs on current trends for when I’m feeling especially fun or experimental.
My dad gave me a tablet pc, means I can bring the Internetz everywhere!!! yay! and my favourite spot treatment for new zits is clean & clear Persa-Gel 5 wich is benzoyl peroxide 5%
I had my wisdom teeth removed Tuesday morning, and today is the first day I’ve woken up and felt HUMAN! Just in time, since I go back Monday and the students come back Thursday of this week.
Just left Virginia beach :-/ 7hour drive to new York
I’ve had a crappy, insane week, and the icing on the cake was having my August Birchbox go missing. The post office swears that it was delivered on Thursday, but I didn’t get it :(. Here’s hoping that next week is considerably better.
I always have my laptop in bed at night. I check this blog and Sephora one last time for the day before I go to bed, just to see if anything new has been posted. : )
I bring my iPad to bed and watch movies on the netflix app, I love that app
Busy weekend, could really use this gift card to spend on me!
Just trying my luck here:) Who knows maybe once in my life I would actually win something….
I always play solitaire before bed for deep sleep;)
I’ve done the daily makeover thing once. I also am a member of HauteLook, I love it! They had a really cheap Stila sale a while ago, and I think there’s a NYX sale right now! 🙂
I use my laptop in bed so I usually stay up way too late.
I’ve tried InStyle’s magazine makeover tool, with terrible results :S
WiFi is the bomb. I’m using my laptop in my bed as we speak.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is the best thing ever for breakouts.
I’m making a trip to the PO today to mail the giveaway winners their prizes.
low dose (<5%) benzoyl peroxide face wash is the key to acne free skin!

I need to get disciplined about exercise.
I am fasting today and I am already starving!
Happy Saturday! I subscribe to The OUTNET and MyHabit, two great websites for finding killer deals. And I mean killer deals, not like Bluefly who cater to seriously affluent people.
Best acne treatment? Lavender oil on a q-tip to the offending pimple, and leave it alone. That’s it! It’s a natural pimple killer and it works like a charm.
I’ve got Benefit Skinny Jeans coming in the mail, and I have to say I’m more excited about it than I have been for any makeup in a while!
You know the funny thing is, I had to try so many acne products before realizing I hadn’t even given clean and clear a try from prior prejudice, but hey whaddayaknow, persagel5 is the one that works! XD
Not a laptop, but I usually have my phone or iPad in bed. Nothing like a little youtube before drifting off, lol!
im not allowed to have electronics in my room at night 🙁
Not so much my laptop, but my phone. It’s basically like a mini laptop, though so I’d consider myself guilty.
Excited to hit up Sephora this weekend, I want to try the new Benefit mascara.
Do you use your laptop in bed? Hmm, is it bad to admit that my laptop has its own pillow and that I have contemplated why no one has yet to invent laptop pjs. lol.
My iPad 2 has been coming everywhere with me… Including bed. I’m obsessed and it has practically replaced my laptop at this point!
Thanks for all the awesome posts on makeup and such… If I win the gift card, I will be trying out some of ur recent recommendations for sure!
I have yet to use my laptop in bed…
Who doesn’t absolutely LOVE Sephora?!
Many thanks, Cindi
I keep my HauteLook account because I always think “maybe I’ll buy something from there”, but I always end up saying screw it because the shipping is always more than the thing I want.
I do use my laptop in bed! which is not very good for my back! lol
Love Bliss Eye makeup remover
I follow you on Twitter!
“Tweet” ~ http://twitter.com/#!/cmh512/status/102446229245534208.
Again, many thanks to you…

I love hautelook, currently they’re having a nyx sale so yay discounted make-up that is already inexpensive without the discount!!!! Hooray for cheapness!
Using my laptop in bed right now….smh! So easy to do. Such a bad habit lol!
Still bad weather over here!
I not only have my laptop in bed, but my iPhone is usually right there beside me, too! And of course, my kitteh 🙂
I do love HauteLook especially for their makeup deals. I got this awesome Kevin Aucoin Making Faces kit, all the colors rock! I bring it with me whenever I travel. Keeps things simple and I look great!
Beth~
Just woke up at 2pm. Being a designate driver for extremely drunk people is so funny! lol
aw man luckily I went to visit my mom this week I had NOOOO idea Project Runway started so I caught up. One of my favorite things to do is quote Tim Gunn! My sister came in from Germany and we were going through the sale rack at Anthro she brought out this crazy twisted thing and she put it on totally wrong. I told her in the words of Tim Gunn if if looks broke fix it but if you can’t make it work take it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOVE THE NEW GROUP sooo much drama. AM I OFF IN THE HEAD because I don’t think the little red head pixie design of brown and orange was bad at all .. when I first saw it I thought it would be in the top and all of them hated it 🙁 Karen did tabs like the pee pee pads or did he feel it was more for the dawgs?
xoxo
Our little mobile devices make it SO easy to get carried away in the time department!
I stopped sleeping with the laptop after the laptop melted on the bottom =(
OMG. I’m currently on my two-week summer break transitioning from summer school to fall semester and I’m in the same position concerning staying up. Last night, I finally forced myself to go to sleep @ 3AM. And THAT’s considered early. -________-
By the way WORD on Burt he’s one of my favs but let not get all GRETCHEN just yet babe 🙂
Wantz!
Karen, are you really thinking about getting Tabs a kitty buddy? I highly recommend it! Two cats double the fun! I have four feline furbabies of my own, and they make life so purrfect =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^=
Rainy saturday on the internet for me… but not in bed.
I don’t have a laptop yet, but my phone goes to bed with me and even the bathroom. I’m always doing something online. Have a great weekend!!
Had breakast with friends this morning. Such a great way to catch up and not use the whole dday.
I LOVE Hautelook! And RueLaLa and Ideeli and all the sites like that. I’ve gotten some great Crown brushes from Hautelook!
I love Hautelook!!
I always use my laptop in bed!
I just got my first Brita water filter! I am so excited to use it for the school year!
it’s 3am where i live now ): i better get to bed ahahha
Love weekends! Looking forward to True Blood…Thank you for another great giveaway 🙂
Awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve been seriously eyeing the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary palette so this would be amazing!
i need a job!
This is a lazy day….only chore left to do is changing the litter. Yuk.
Now I want that Lace Lorac set grrr
It’s my birthday tomorrow and this would be SUCH a lovely present 😀
I Just watched “Limitless” what a great movie! So diffrent, Imagine if everybody take that pill….
I’m feeling pretty well rested this wk, but it could be b/c my laptop’s in the shop. 0_o!
Just woke up at 1:00 🙂
I unfortunately don’t have wireless internet so my laptop is stuck in my living room. Haha, I think my husband would probably kick it out of bed anyways.

I enjoy looking at the deals on Hautelook and it feels like the least… shady? of all the deal sites. I don’t know. I did score some gorgeous jewelry and NYX stuff pretty cheaply a couple of times, which was awesome. Can’t complain about that!
Hautelook is having a fantastic sale on NYX cosmetics!! so tempted to splurge! 😀
My favorite acne treatment is Murad Clarifying Mask. If you dab it on your zit before you go to bed and leave it on all night, it will clear up much faster. It’s the best thing I’ve ever tried.
So much stuff I want from Sephora now I’d need at least two cards to cover it. LOL..
I am always at war at night…abandoning my laptop in favor of sleep is always a tough call for me. I fall asleep on the couch 5/7 nights a week. LOL
I hope you had fun in SD! I bet Tabs missed you a whole lot! <3
My laptop is always near by bed at night so i can listen to my favorite podcast so i go to sleep. 🙂
i love my laptop, i can’t live without it. 🙂
My favorite spot treatment for acne is from the equate walmart brand. Works like a charm and is priced so low 🙂
I look forward to Saturdays. They give me hope that some day I’ll step foot in a Sephora with some spending power!
I got a package in the mail today – best feeling ever!
hmm, sometimes i use my laptop in bed, but i find that it uncomfortably heats up my lap. i don’t want to get one of those lap desk things, so at the very least there are times when i keep the laptop near my bed..but, i don’t do it too often.
I am going to win one of these chances one day – I just know it! *positive vibes*
OHHHHHHHHHHH kitten season makes me positively weak in the knees! Zeus (the EvRev supermodel) and Zoe were the last two kittens that we adopted. Is T-Money ready to have a baby in the house– are you?? Kittens are just so much fun-and hysterically funny! If I win the Sephora gift card I will have to go and buy Zeus more Make Up For Ever eye liner pencils!
its a lovely sunny saturday!
Aww!! Love Sephora, in need of some new eyeshadows and face powder! Here goes nothing, hope I win 🙂
Now that we have a sephora where I live, my bank account is suffering even more! haha 🙂
Love~
I have the same issue with my laptop!
I don’t have a laptop so no laptop in bed for me! If I want to go on the computer, I have to walk down 14 steps and turn on a desktop!
love your blog..i would love it if you could do an article on any hair care you would recommend for split ends (im dying)….ohhhh and if you cared my favourite acne treatment is surprisingly a ‘lush’ product called ‘fresh farmacy’ (saved my life)
:)dont have twitter or i would be tweeting
I can’t wait to get lash extensions on Monday!
I spend way too much time on my various gizmos!
I like Hautelook, ordered from them several times now. Haven’t found any other sites like them that have as much beauty products. Mostly just fashion.
Just had Klondike! Yum!
not quite sure what to think about hautelook. will you do a review about them anytime soon?
Looking forward to the MAC me over collection in a couple of weeks, wish they had the products in store to view before the launch date though. Thanks for posting your swatches this week, they look great!
Waiting for a little bit of sunshine… Rain doesn’t seem to stop here…
I have kitteh fur on meh face and everywhere from brushing my Beh Bear. Kittehs <3
I always use my laptop in bed its just so cozy!! as for zits just some on the spot neutrogena treatment
Ooh, kittens!
One of my guilty pleasures is nail polish. But how much can you really wear? I hate it when the bottle starts looking unloved and unused. How about a nail share amonsgt your friends? You’re tired of one color and she’s ready for another. But I will never share my Chanel polishes…………selfish I know 🙁
But mostly it is recycling at its highest form. Love your reviews of everything … I read every day. Thanks for the contest!
I like frog. I’m not sure what hautelook is but it sounds like it would be real good.
I have the urge to grab some gorgeous fall makeup colors …. hmmmmm what to get!
I keep dropping my dang laptop when I bring it to bed!
Nope, my laptop stays on my desk 🙂
I just saw your lipglass on MAC and popped back in to see if you’d posted about it! That is very cool – congrats! It’s exactly the color I was looking for, think I’m gonna order it to wear for my wedding next month 🙂 Leave the laptop in your office – the bedroom is for beauty sleep only!
Ever since I got my heat disperser for my laptop I pretty much bring my computer with me everywhere, bed included. I’m just slightly addicted… 😀
I’m late to the party again. I just discovered Mad Men and stayed up nearly all night this whole week watching all 4 seasons on NetFlix. Wow….what a great show!
I love using my laptop in bed to read beauty blogs!!
I know you aren’t supposed to use back lit items in bed, but I just cant help it!
Need this!
just learned to swim
My whole family’s allergic to cats, but your Tabs is just so cute!
My laptop is always on my bed, shows how lazy i am 🙂
I am so tired after moving the past few days.
i’m addicted to naps! cannot stop taking naps…gonna need an intervention soon haha
I had a garage sale to sell some things I didn’t need so I could buy some new makeup and get the GWP @ Nordstrom.
Tabs, I’m so involved with virtual pets that I keep my laptop under my pillow so I can pet them at 3 a.m. At least you’re real! XOMV
Went to NYC for the first time since I was a kid & I had a blast, even though I was outside in a downpour for most of the time. Stopped into Sephora on 42nd St not too far from Grand Central and it was wonderful. So much better than the one by me, that’s very cramped, always crowded, not well lit, and always too warm. I didn’t buy anything (this time), but I helped one of the employees get a bottle of Sephora- 212 (the last bottle) after she said she liked it on my nails so much (of course I wore 212… I had to do it). 😀
Thanks for the giveaway.
Green isn’t usually one of the colors I go to first. But it felt like that kind of day today.
I’ve only made a purchase off hautelook once. Shipping to Canada is not worth it if you just get a few items ):
Today is my day off! 🙂
i use my laptop in bed and i just got a new pink cute lapdesk for it.
I visited UCLA for my first time yesterday and fell in L O V E.
I am cleaning today and then going to read the rest of “The Help” an awesome book. Hope to see the movie eventually.
Love your giveaways!
love your giveaways!
I hope it’s my lucky day!
happy saturday! <3
I’m just bumming it at home today and enjoying it 🙂
gahhh i spend waaaaay too much time on the internet as well. But i’m working on it and cutting down on time!
I’m on vacation! Finally!
Hey! I was browsing around on MAC’s website and came across the Bloggers Obsessions! You were the first one on there so I decided to check out your blog and I am in love with it!! Definitely coming back to read some more with the laptop in my bed!
Haha I’ve been awful about that too! Need to get my sleep schedule on track for school starting soon >.>
I was at Bath and Body Works today because of that special where you get any signature collection item and you get a free gift with purchase! I realized after I left that I only had my left hand and left foot nails painted but my right hand and right foot were totally bare! Stupid me forgot to finish painting them last night because I had gotten distracted XP
I always use my laptop in bed! StumbleUpon has become an obsession of mine for great beauty finds and tips. Actually, that is how I found your awesome blog (and gift card giveaway to my favorite store ever! Sephora!) Thanks StumbleUpon! A new blog to follow and a chance at a Sephora gift card! WiFi and my laptop in bed is a habit I will not be breaking anytime soon. 🙂
I always have my computer in bed with me!! i LOVE hulu!
I had a great day at the beach today!!
I like Hautelook since they have nice sales on makeup
Don’t you simply loooove instant pictures?? I just bought the most adorable Fujifilm instant camera. Now I know one thing I’ll definitely be carrying on all my trips! 🙂
Love giveaways! Going out tonight and can’t wait to get all dolled up!
absolutely love your site! =)
my little site is as close as a daily photo update. xo.
Going to yoga in a little while, but I am way too hyped up on caffeine. It’s going to be one of those spazzy classes I think.
Yay! I hope you guys get a new kitten!

wi-fi is messin up my sleep too….yikes!!
happy saturday, girlie!
I am using my laptop in bed now and for some reason feeling extra tired today.
I have a love/hate view about sites like HauteLook. it can be such a good source for lower priced makeup but if a company like Rock & Republic Beauty or Urban Decay is selling, all the “good” stuff (usually what I’d want to get) is sold out in the first few minutes the sale starts which can be very frustrating and not worth it in the end. either save money or save time by paying full price, you know?
I just tried a greenbean cleanser that my friend recently sent me and my face feels so smooth right now!

I have a serious addiction to sites like Hautelook and RueLaLa. Before I go to sleep I check what’s going to be on sale the next day and make sure to be awake by 11 am to catch all the deals. Ahhhhh nothing like retail therapy. Happy Saturday (:
I am addicted to having my laptop in bed. I love to sit in bed at night and read updates on all my favorite blogs (like yours!) and then I watch a silly show to help me wind down. I know they say that it’s not good to do that but it’s a hard habit to break (cue Chicago here).
I use a laptop in bed all the time.
Thank you karen for the aleays-so-nice giveaways!
I’m trying to get myself excited about a new manicure D: Lazy Saturday!
I dog loves face and body lotion!
I’m always on my laptop in bed, usually on sites like your own. Annnd when i have a starbucks on my nightstand, ahh im in heaven!
My Dog Loves face and body lotion!

thanks for the giveaway! great way to start my day! (it;s 5:46pm) lolll
Waiting for new iPhone!!
All your twitter talk about fro-yo is making me desperate for some!
Katherine recently posted … are you hoping to get out of this mess?
pick me!!!!!!!!! My fiance is tired of me buying beauty products 🙂 tehee
Funny how you ask about hautelook ’cause I just placed my second order with them last night. I love that site and how they give us gals a chance to save on some of our favorite makeup brands! Enjoy your weekend!
Of course I use my laptop on my bed. I’m like glued to my Macbook Pro. It’s kinda ridiculous. Haha.
I’ve been obsessed with Burberry lately! I want to try their new primer and a few eyeshadows 🙂
I’ve been on a quest for a holy grail foundation and my research has found a few potentials! This Sephora card could help me obtain them!
Making plans for my vacation are stressing me out! >.<
It’s a beautiful day! But I’m stuck doing stuff I don’t wanna do. sigh.
Have you tried butter LONDON nail polishes? i think I’m going to order some to try! All Hail the Queen and Teddy Girl are my favorite shades.
My favorite acne treatment for breakouts is to use a clay mask to dry out the pimples. Thanks for the giveaway Karen! =]

the laptop does occasionally come to bed…only if i know the insomnia is going to get the best of me though!
I love the target version of persagel.
I’m doing a photo shoot today and I’m so nervous! I would love to win this for my kit.
This looks great!
i love catching up on my shows using hulu on saturday morning!
I loveee hautelook,just got a juicy couture wallet for $29 from there!
Love hautelook but really would rather not pay for shipping though.
Great week so far! In escrow on a house and heard our baby’s heartbeat for the first time on Monday:) Woo hoo! Have a feeling my trips to Sephora are going to be few and far between after February, so would love to do some online shopping…with a gift card of course!
I am wayyyy too shy to upload my pic on any sites. I was very selective in my twitter/facebook profile pics.
Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend!
come on big money!!
My favorite acne treatment is something w/ salicylic acid. Brings the zit right down. Thanks for the giveaway!
I stopped having my laptop in my room. I wasn’t getting adequate sleep! Brought all my electronics (tv/laptop) out, so when I go into my bed to sleep, i’m going into a BEDROOM, not a distracting environment. It helps!:)
I really like Hautelook and ideeli. 🙂
i am writing this comment from my laptop, on my bed. :p
Hey karen! hope you’re doing good. Can’t wait to see more new fall make up and beauty items!! 🙂
A laptop in bed with a million pillows is the best thing ever. Laptop+youtube was my old treatment for insomnia.
i spend 75% of my time with my laptop in bed, presumably working on my thesis (keep ur fingers crossed 4 me so i can get it done by november) instead i get stuck on facebook or watching old episodes of himym or big bang theory
I still haven’t purchased anything from Gilt or Hautelook although I browse almost everyday…..don’t know what’s preventing me from doing so. hm.
I love to sit with my laptop in bed in the mornings with a cup of tea and catch up with my blogs that I subed too..its my way having a little me time before everyone in my household gets up
I used to use my laptop in bed at school because there wasn’t a good desk and the couch wasn’t comfortable, but I don’t any more.
My favorite acne treatment for breakouts is benzoyl peroxide, it’s great! Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
It’s really hot in SF today!
I love fashion/makeup membership website, however I must admit thus far I am only a window shopper.
Hi Karen! I just downloaded this thing called f.lux that changes your computer’s display to match the natural light conditions at the time, if that makes any sense. Like, in the day, it’s normal, but as the sun sets, the screen starts to take on a warmer tone that looks more like the fluorescent indoor lights. It’s supposed to be easier on the eyes and make it easier to get to bed after you’ve been working on your computer at night. I’ve only tried it for a couple of days, but it seems to really work so far. (It might look super orange at first, but you can fiddle with the settings.)

I love sites like Hautelook. I’ve only purchased a few things, but I still browse a few times a week.
I loveee thai food, it’s been too long since I’ve had it.
Pick me! I need more of my Smashbox foundation from Sephora!!!
In the beginning I was really thrilled by the idea of an online makeover but I find it hard to take a photo that would be right for those measurements for makeup application and hairstyles
laksh recently posted … NOTD & mini Review
I’ve been using a new cream called “Tactuo” for my acne and its cleared up my face within a week or so! I got on the Proactiv bandwagon a few months ago – what a waste of money!
I’m building my makeup kit and starting to get into the beauty industry; I’m going to be a professional soon. This GC would be a dream kick start.
I bought a quartet of shadows today from MAC and also a MacBook. I now have to differentiate between “Macs” for the boyfriend.
Sephora yes! I have not been able to shop there in such a long time.
I can’t concentrate right now.
I love using my laptop in bed! Except it gets so darn hot :(.
I get emails from Hautelook but I’ve never bought anything. I haven’t seen much that I would want, but the stuff that I like is still too expensive!
I tried out your Nars Outremer cateye look with a bright purple duochrome-y shade from the UD 15th anniversary collection last night – it was super easy and looked fun and dramatic. Thanks for the tutorial! I’ll definitely be using that look again.
hope I win, running out of eye cream!
I am using my laptop in bed right now! I hurt my foot a few days ago so I’m using the pain as an excuse to sit in bed as much as possible.
I hope today is my day… Im home alone with my baby while my 2 older girls are with their dad, house sure is quiet 🙁
Me want-teee! Thanks, Karen.
Still contemplating whether I really NEED or just WANT the UD 15th Anniversary Palette.
I love Sephora but can rarely afford to shop there. I would love to win this prize!!!
It would be nice to for once win one of these giveaways.
loves me some Sephora!
We just got an iPad 2 as a first anniversary gift and boy is it bad…we’re always poking away or sweeping away either browsing or playing games. Now between my husband and I we have 3 laptops, 1 desktop and an iPad…yea..eletronic overkill.
Our cat just stole a pork chop off the kitchen counter and was desperately trying to eat it.
happy saturday!
oh man I would love love love to win a giftcard to Sephora!!! I love that store!
thanks for the awesome contest!
I have finally been in a Sephora store!! Its so pretty I just feel like a kid in a candy store!!
Finally saw Source Code – cool movie
Got home from work, made dinner for the fam and I am in bed right now with my laptop! 😉
I like using my laptop on our super comfy couch. When it’s time for bed, I switch to my iphone!
I’m banned from using my laptop in bed! I stay up way too late if I do.
i use my laptop in my bed
I have never gotten the knack of straighterning my hair. Plan to do lots of research on that this weekend. My hair is just too thick and wavy to work with any flat iron.
no i don’t but, sounds fun!
i definitely need a sephora giftcard!!!!!
What is your favorite face moisturizer for someone on a budget?
I’m on the third book of the Game of Thrones series. It takes serious dedication to get through them!
I’d love to use my laptop in bed but the thing is too gigantic, I need a little netbook!
i love using my laptop in bed, so comfy!
Yehh, I too use my laptop in bed…. 🙁 such a bad Habit..
What a wonderful weekend!
I tried uploading my pic once to try a new hairstyle but it was just not really accurate and a waste of time, not to mention very unrealistic looking =/ it’s a cool concept though!
My biggest problem with sites like HauteLook is that I hate paying for shipping and it’s usually too high for me to bother with all but the most amazing deals.
Loving the back to school sales 😀
super!!!!! yeaaay
Love Hautelook….wish they would provide some type of shipping deal sometime!
Hi Karen, thanks for another great giveaway!
hmmmm sephora!!! =D
Awesome prize. I hope you are having a great weekend!!!
Hi T-Money and K-Dawg! I’ve only recently stumbled upon your blog and spent two sleep-deprived days ghosting through all (ALL) of your drugstore beauty finds page because I love those and two… because I’m a poor college student. Typical, I know. Anyway, thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Pooped from holding a yard sale. Must napppppp nowwwww.
My best acne treatment is whatever my dermatologist perscribes me to ha. Having cystic acne isn’t always fun but you have to keep living and keep trying to find solutions! Your blog has inspired me and has granted me confidence through makeup! Thank you!
I would love to use my laptop on my bed, but I sleep on the top bunk. It’s such a hassle to bring it up and down a bunk bed
I like the idea of Hautelook, but i’ve never actually ordered anything from there!
Tonight we discovered a great little seafood restaurant. It was so good!
I love looking on Hautelook, I wish they shipped internationally!
Laptop in bed all the time!!! It’s the best!!! But it equals major losing sleep time:(
too much netflixs for me
I almost exclusively use my laptop in bed! I don’t have a tv at my apartment at school so I do a lot of streaming tv online!
I use my laptop in bed, but not that much…it makes my neck hurt way too much -.-
I use my laptop mostly on my lap…it’s probably not great for it. At school I only have a bed for furniture, so I use it in bed.
i finished book 2 of the hunger games series! EXCITING! i cried a lot :[ i left the third book at work so i have to wait until monday! 😐
I pretty much only use my laptop in bed because my bad back keeps me from sitting in a chair too long and my battery is fried :P. Yay for laziness!
Hi!
I just washed my face with my new Clairsonic Mia! I can’t wait to bring it along with me to Mexico! This is by far the best kept secret to clear and healthy skin 🙂
Out of the contestants left on Project Runway, Anya and Olivier are definitely my two favorites.
i just ate like 9 donut holes from drunkin donuts! ughhhhhhhhhhh my diet is in shambles this week!!
Love Sephora!
I go on Hautelook everyday but I never bought something! lol
Love your blog!
I really want the Urban Decay Naked Palette. This would push me to buy it.
Bring it on down to Betonyville!
Love your blog !! Thanks for the giveaway
Oh my gosh, I just ate the best lemon cupcake EVER! I want to eat 3 more!
Red velvet cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Enough said 🙂
Atonement is the best book I have read…probably EVER! Eager to see the movie adaptation of it, but highly recommend the book for anyone that hasn’t read it yet. Just glad to have enjoyed a novel before I’m tortured with case after case when law school starts in a week =(
I am still lusting hard after that robin’s egg blue triple strand of faceted beads that you bought at Forever 21. Have looked for it in every F21 I go to and no luck. It is beautiful!
Enjoying a lazy weekend
I try to keep all technology out of the bedroom – except for an alarm clock, of course. It makes it easier for me to shut down at night. Tweeted too!
Giveaways make my day…. even if I don’t ever win. 🙂
Wait, kitten rescues? Are you looking to adopt a sibling for Tabs?
yay for sephora!
I am completely addicted to shopping. I’m starting to think I need a 12 step program.
i love sephora!
I have never entered a contest on here before, but I hope my luck has changed today. Great site BTW
Feeling all productive today. :3
Trying to go to bed like I should, being I have an early morning, but I can’t see to stop looking at makeup online!!! LOVE your site!
I honestly bought a MacBook Air because it is smaller than a MacBook Pro, therefore easier to take to bed. 🙂
You rock!!
Almost done with season 2 of Mad Men, so good. Have you seen it?
I’m catching up on blogs on this raining night in Florida.

im tempted to buy things from hautelook but i’ve never bought anything
God is so good he gives me 1 pimple only during PMS.. but I have friends with acne problems. Ive noticed that the more u do sumthin about it. Like putting different chemicals. It got worse. Then i was thinkin.. Healthy lifestyle, healthy food, positive outlook in life, washin face before sleeping might reduce acne problems. Protect skin from sunlight also helps too. Anyways..lovin oneself includes taking care of your body..
I’ m going t o bed early on this fine Saturday night. Adjusting from travel hasn’t been easy this week. It’s like I’m always exhausted and the cats are extra whiny. Why do I leave home, again?
Just bought the Chanel Illusion eyeshadow pot in Fantasme (per your review) and I LOVE it! Your beauty blog is the BEST.
To me, you are perfect.
I bring my laptop to bed all the top and it’s sooo bad! Blink and suddenly it’s three hours later and I’m still looking at nail polish swatches, LoL
I got my haircut today and it look awesome! I also want to dye my hair. I hope it turns out alright. Thank you for the giveaway!
Mmmm Sephora 🙂
Lately, I’ve been really addicted to watching the Hannibal movies! Keeps me occupied while waiting for the next True Blood episodes heehee.

I need to try that site out, I’m due for a new hairstyle….and I love Hautelook! You can find some really awesome finds on there for a pretty dang good price! 😀
I like Hautelook even though I have yet to make a purchase! I’m still working on the acne treatment part….I’m in love with the Mary Kay Timewise Miracle set though and am trying their Acne Treatment Gel with it now. Hopefully the combination will finally clear it all up 🙂
3 days of rain coming up :((
I am trying to organize and do laundry but I really have no desire to do anything! I wish I was on a beach with just a book and nothing else to do 🙂

If I ever win I will buy nail polish or perfume from Sephora!!
I’m using my laptop on my bed right now!
My stay-up-late-in-bed addiction is my iPhone! I’m currently drooling over the new Guerlain eyeshadow palettes!
Love my laptop & love your giveaways!
I want this! ♥
I also just recently started bringing my laptop into bed with me :\ It’s so hard to stop doing, even though I’m almost always sleep deprived! I hope the both of us (and whoever also has this BAD, BAD habit) somehow manage to stop doing it in the near future!
Went to Six Flags, AMAZING.
I wanna try Hautelook 😛
Definitely the laptop goes to bed with me!
Salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide
I <3 Sephora and this blog like a fat kid loves cake. Oh, and I also love Hautelook, Beyond the rack, Gilt, Ideeli, ect. Please be my lucky day!
My fave treatment for breakouts is the burts bees roller ball style acne treatment.. it has tea tree oil and willow extract and god knows what else. Lol. But I like to put that on as soon as I feel one comin on, always works great 🙂
I found this site last night, and have lost sleep because of it. =P
My GMAT exam is in 2 weeks and im on the verge on crying cause I cant understand this quant section
I used to bring my laptop to bed often but I’ve been trying to turn it off and stay away from it before bed lately. It’s paid off- I fall asleep faster when I do that!
Also I really hope I win this (if not now, some time soon!) I’m broke and drooling after the new Urban Decay stuff!!
Have a lovely week!
Oh, Karen, I love you for all the bazillion giveaways you do!
Ugh, Burt. I was kind of rooting for you at the beginning but you’re apparently a bit of a d-bag.
I only bring my laptop to bed on occasion to watch stuff on Hulu
Taking Your Laptop To Bed Can Ruin Your Beauty Sleep…
Not only do we all inevitably wind up staying up way past our bedtime watching videos of kittens bathing puppies, but, also, the type of light a computer emits (blue light) can cause insomnia. This is also true for cell phones & TV’s. I’ve read that we should shut off all of these stimulating toys at least 1 hour before bedtime to negate the sleep disrupting effects. However, Kindles & the such don’t have this effect. So, curl up w/ a relaxing book (digital or old-school) an hour before bed & wake up tomorrow more refreshed & prettier.
Always use my laptop in bed, in fact, i’m doing it right now! (: and I looovee using clinique’s acne solutions for my breakouts. my boyfriend and I swear by it !
If I took my laptop to bed with me – I’d never have time away from a computer screen! ^__^
Thank you for all the reviews! Your blog is super helpful!!
If it’s not a laptop, it’s the iPad with me in bed. I’m commenting on MBB with the iPad as I type! I shall Netflix Angel and Drop Dead Diva after!
I can’t wait for autumn to start. This summer weather is making me all sweaty and gross.
I <3 T-Money.
Bringing my laptop to bed is the only way for me to catch up on your awesome blog! Right now my summer must have is my Illamasqua nail varnish in Rare! 🙂
It’s so very hot in my area. Going outside is not fun 🙁
I’m so excited because we just had a Sephora open up (grand opening was this last Friday)!! I live in Alaska so we’ve never had a Sephora before and I’ve never visited one… I’ve always just ordered online. Now I can actually just pop on over to the store and pick up some stuff!!! So excited! 😀
I like HauteLook in theory but I hate having to wait and the lack of international shipping.
Lloyd, I always love these gift card giveaways. 😉
Could be cool to win me some sephora goodies!
I just had such a bad day. I want to just stay in bed for three days. I would love to get a certificate to cheer meup. Anything good, really.
I <3 Sephora!
I like your blog, great job!
will today be my lucky day? 🙂 i’ve used my laptop in bed once.. it just seemed way too uncomfortable trying to arrange the wires and my laptop gets hot quite quickly.. bleh! 🙂
I love target!!
I want to get urban decay anniversary eyeshadow palette.
We have a showing for our house today Ibeen for sale for over a year!)…maybe this will be the one? 🙂 so I’ll be cleaning today………have a great sunday!
Really enjoy your blog–great writing, so funny!
I can’t keep up with Facebook .

Hey, Karen 🙂 Two days I ago, I bought my first bottle of MAC Face and Body. I’ve heard good things and thought I should go for it,any thoughts on the product? Cause I saw in the daily pic some days ago that you bought some 🙂 Also, Im growing out my brows to finally shape them in a way that is right for my face,and omg, buuuushy time :O Me no likey! On an unrelated note, I can’t wait for True Blood.
I love my kitties!
I love Sephora!!
Happy Sunday! 🙂
Love your blog Karen
Xxx for tabs!
I am using my laptop in bed right meow. I love it.
I think your blog is amazing…reading it has recently become a part of my daily ritual 🙂
For my wife please
I like haute look, love getting a great deal!
Good luck everyone!!!
me! please!!
I’ve found some great items on Hautelook and for great deals!
Haute Look is fun but the shipping can definitely hold me back, particularly with already inexpensive lines like Crown Brush. It’s a good deal with more expensive lines like Rock & Republic.
I looove Hautelook, and they must love me because I spend a TON of money on there. 🙂
School starts tomorrow and not one supply have I bought!!
Hey, just dropping by to say that i love your blog and appreciate the time you take to write and post so much things!! 🙂

Super busy day yesterday. Hope to relax today.
Dunno what to say…except Tabs is da bomb!
i cant wait for fall but i dont like when it s changing.It s windy and nasty !!!
When I have acne break out, I just use toner to help burn it…nothing too exciting
My Solia flat iron broke up with me 2 days ago 🙁 We’ve been in a complicated relationship for years. I think Bio Ionic One Pass and I are going to get together one of these days, but that’s no cheap date, you know what I’m sayin?!
a lot of the girls at the salon i work at love their bio ionic!
My little girl starts Pre-K tomorrow, oh my!
I never used or have an account with HauteLook, but a lot of people try it. maybe I might try it too
Spending my Sunday inside with the kiddos since it’s pouring out and will be raining all day.
I have an account with HauteLook, but I can’t say it’s ever been helpful. I get the emails, but I’ve never really found anything good. They normally go straight into my trash folder.
MAC me over next week! i am sooo excited! 😀
i need a job…any good recommendations for a recent grad?
Did you think Burt was being a cry-baby too??
i found more gray hairs…..That’s ok..I will say that they are my natural highlights!! LOL!!! Everyone have a great day….
I would love to get a good primer from Sephora….

I use my iPod touch in bed. I dont find it too bad, unless I’m browsing reddit! I can waste hours!
I love sites like Haute Look — I just scored a killer pair of flats from there for 70% off retail!
the only site i have looked at is makeup alley. i like to look at peoples face of the day. it inspires me to try new things.
i have an account with hautelook, but ive never purchased anything from their site
So exciting!
I’ve heard that Bobbi Brown corrector is a must for dark circles… I need it!!!
I am guilty of using both my lap top and my iPad in bed.
Even though it’s the afternoon, I’m using my laptop in bed right now!
Unless I am spending the night at my guys house, my Ipad is my constant bedside companion 😉 I adore having Netflix BBC series to watch and all my books to read right there in bed!
iPhone at bedtime usually means dark circles or red eyes in the morning.
I take the laptop and Kindle to bed with me–it’s getting crowded in there.
this is my fave blog 🙂
So Tuesday I go back to the infertility clinic to find out my test results. Wish me luck!
Jazz club tonight!
When I have breakouts I use Bare Escentuals blemish therapy.
Slept in late today!
Turning 30 this year and have a sudden interest in taking more (beauty) care of myself. Sephora has been a godsend for a novice like me – a $50 gift card would go a long way.
Ughh! I’m horribe about taking my laptop to bed…. Its just comfy!!!!!!!!
i loveee hautelook!!!
I’ve given up on Haute Look but am a huge fan of Groupon/Living Social and those sort of sites.
I would love a post on the best acne treatments. I’ve tried just about everything lately to no avail – would love to know what really works for others. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway!
Had some delicious coffee this morning!
I almost always use my laptop in bed… when I’m sitting, though…
I use my iPad in bed all the time. It makes my husband crazy!

I love using my laptop in bed! Best way to relax!
I always use laptop in bed <_< never on the table
I need a new job so bad! Dispatching sucks.
i’ve put off packing for a vacation all day, and now it’s time to switch off the laptop and knuckle down with piles of clothes and shoes…
I really love Sephora -got to gets me a gift card!!!!! 🙂 <3
I still want a DeLorean :\
Any tips for Asians? Makeup/hair…
I am a pathetically broke grad student who can barely afford to take care of myself, but I still spend loan $$$ on MAC makeup and nail polish. :-X
Anyone eles watched glee in 3d?
Just got back from my first trip to Florida! It was beautiful, but hot! I wonder how people keep their makeup on down there – mine either melted off, or I didn’t wear any so that I could swim.
hey!
Just came back from working a 9 hour day. My feet are hurting.
Thanks for another giveaway!! :). I love the Mac Bloggers Obsession stuff!!
Sunday’s are my lazy day, watch tv & eat ice cream 🙂
I love clinique acne solutions emergency gel-lotion
Favorite acne treatment is Queen Helene’s mint julep mask! It’s the bomb.com!
i’m making vietnamese beef stew for dinner tonight. hope it turns out yummy!
Just received my first MAC product…EvRev!!! Oh wait, I did own the clear Lipglass in high school more than 10years ago.
I love Hautelook! Okay, I only love it when there’s an Urban Decay sale on it, I’ve gotten some really good deals on their makeup from there! 😉
Sephora moonbaked palette is my newest buy 🙂
Am luving my 1st (but not last) UNII palette!
the hole where my thyroid should be is hurting…
I have been fighting the battle against acne for about ten years now! I’m about to try that Queen Helen’s mask. I hope it works! For now, I’m using a Yes to tomatoes cleanser and a Burt’s bees deep cleansing cream. Those are the only two that don’t irritate my skin 🙂
I dont like using my laptop in bed too often. Only if I am feeling ill and need to lie down but still need to get work done. Or in the winter when i am cold and need to be in a nice warm bed to work! 😀
Thanks for the giveaway! I keep eyeing the new NARS stuff.
I’m catsitting two cats who don’t get along…and considering producing a soap opera with an all-feline cast entitled “As the Fur Flies!”
I just got back from back-to-school shopping! I will never need to go to Target this whole semester (but let’s be real . . . I’m going to anyways!)
I rarely take my laptop to bed but it basically lives on my lap since I spend wayy too much time on my couch surfing the internet.
yay for this giveaway!
My sisters and I refer to our 8 cats as “shawty beasts.” haha
Waaaah my iPod just broke! 🙁
whenever I see this post, I get so excited for another giveaway! but I never win 🙁
anyway- I love hautelook, but I hate the lag time for shipping, I get so impatient waiting for it!
I’ve just recently read a couple of negative reviews on the Clairsonic brush and it got me to thinking, you never see any dramatic before and after pictures, even when people claim dramatic results and tell you how much better their skin is. At least Proactiv has those. You don’t see someone going from full on acne to clear skin, or a dry flaky mess and rosacea to nice smooth even skin. If you read the reviews carefully a lot of them will admit they are still getting pimples and still dealing with flaky dryness, but IT’S BETTER! REALLY IT IS! I’m starting to believe that these things don’t work any better than a face cloth, but that when you’re out a ton of money you have to convince yourself that you haven’t been had by the marketing, and you’re not going along with the crowd saying that the emperor is fully dressed when he’s obviously naked. I’m sure some will say that you aren’t supposed to expect dramatic results, well, again, a wash cloth and cleanser will give you clean skin without dramatic results too but it costs 100X less, why pay that much for no dramatic results? That’s my random thoughts for the day. lol
My first time seeing up close kaldiespcope by Le Matier and love it, it has two purple, a bronze and a dark browny bronze. I so so wanted it. but I was good. I also fell inlove today with Guerlain’s concealer, after 2 hours did not crease. only bummer is the price

i am so bored and want to go out and shop and wat beeter way to step ouy in this hot windy weather if i win a giveaway
i love sephora!
A little late, but hopefully it counts for something!
Where else do people use their laptops? I swear by persagel for acne when it happens.
I’m afraid that my cat has the flu. I just found her hiding behind the toilet, hoping that no one will catch her. I sure hope she feels better!
OMG your link to Daily Makeover almost made me miss the giveaway deadline!
I just started using la Roche posay’s effaclar duo to treat breakouts! Haven’t used it long enough to know if it’s working yet, but at least it’s not breaking me out!
I have, indeed, used virtual makeover sites. Fun, and less cleanup involved than real makeup for my lazy ass.
i use benzoyl peroxide on blemishes
I do take pictures of my make-up and especially nails, but I don’t usually share…=P
I have such a bad cold. 🙁 Also, I just bought Korres Lip Butter in Plum, and it’s NOT Plum. It’s bright raspberry. Little bit disappointed, but that’s what I get for ordering online.
I had an amazing weekend! A good friends wedding on Saturday & floating on the lake all day Sunday. It was heaven!
Oh Buxom! I hear you calling me! Come to mama!
I need some funds to shop at Sephora… My wishlist is ever expanding! Thank you x
Just found out they opened a new Sephora inside a JCPenny’s by me! Super excited, it’s closer than my current Sephora.
My eyeballs are burning out of my skull, I have been looking at the computer screen for too long! Well… enjoy your day!
I want to try Vietnamese food. There are a lot of cool pho restaurants in Cleveland I want to try.
