Two Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora!

October 8th, 2011 by Karen 578 Comments

  • WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Elizabeth W., for her comment that begins, “Karen, I’m a new subscriber to your blog, and enjoy it so much! Give Tabs a kiss on the head for me…” Congratulations, Elizabeth! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

Win a $50 Sephora eGift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog
Somewhere out there, perhaps right outside your window, the squirrel foreman of a nut collecting work detail is frantically squeaking orders to his crew, “Hurry, men! Winter’s coming! Leave no leaf unturned!”

Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 Happy autumn. I hope you slept well.

I felt like kicking off this weekend with a giveaway, but it’s not the only open giveaway round these here parts. If after entering today’s giveaway you also take a moment to enter The 2011 Breast Cancer Awareness Month Sign Project and Giveaway, you could win a monumental $1,126 makeup prize (and it’s very easy to enter). Right now there aren’t many entries, and the odds of winning are about 500,000 times better than the lottery.

I’m just sayin’.

In other news, it’s supposed to be nice and sunny here today, and I plan to milk that for all it’s worth! Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it’s sunny there and you get to spend some time outside.

Without further ado, it’s…

Went to H&M and got some leg warmers and a totally 80’s looking shirt! Gonna have big hair (if it’s possible with the short hair that I have now). Listen to 80’s music all night. It’s gonna be totally rad and tubular!

But it sure was g-o-o-d! This year I don’t think I’ll be putting my baking skills to work, I have a 7 week old son, so I have zero time for baking. Maybe my fam won’t notice if I buy one? 😉

    I like pumpkin pie but, truth be told, I prefer sweet potato pie for the texture. For the past couple of years I’ve been using Cook’s Illustrated recipe for pumpkin pie which calls for a combination of one can of pumpkin puree and one can of candied yams. It’s like the best of two (pie) worlds. I usually find pumpkin pie filling a little too wet, so their recipe is perfect for me 🙂

I use 1/2c. of canned pumpkin (not pie mix) a cup of almond milk, a vanilla bean, frozen banana chunks, cinnamon, nutmeg and splenda. It’s delish!

    “Whether the weather be fine, or weather the weather be not
    Whether the weather be cold, or weather the weather be hot
    We’ll weather the weather whatever the weather
    Whether we like it or not!”

    That was in my 4th grade science textbook. It stuck in my head and I’ve never forgotten it.

    Hey Karen! Baking a pumpkin pie isn’t as hard as it seems! My grandmother taught me how to bake pies, especially pumpkin (my favorite!) when I was very young. I hope you give it a try and let us all know how it turns out – nothing feels better than baking something new! Such a cool accomplished feeling and El Hubz will definitely be happy too 😉 Have a great day!!!

    My brother and I always made different pies for thanksgiving and he’d use premade everything and remained happy and festive. I’d try to hand make crust and all the stuff, so it’d take about 10x as long and by the time the pie was done, I’d just resent it.

    What’s the weather like out there today?
    Sunny, beezy & cool.
    Have you ever baked a pumpkin pie (if you did, how did it turn out)?
    No, I hate pumpkin pie! Yuck.
    Do you have any plans this year for Thanksgiving or Halloween?
    Thanksgiving will probably be spent at husband’s grandma’s house, like most years. Not sure yet about Halloween – we might be moving in a couple of weeks & will therefore miss our friend’s yearly party. No ideas for costumes.
    What was your best hair/makeup/outfit this past week?
    I’ve been home sick this week, so my “best” day was yesterday because I actually washed my hair and put on clean sweats. 😛

    So yesterday, I just got over having a tummy virus for the past two days.. I had cabin fever after only two days! Two of my friends and I went to the city (Manhattan) and we went to chipotle! I didnt think it was right if I had mexican food after having a tummy virus so I got soup at Au Bon Pain instead. But what I was most excited for was going to Sephora and MAC! I really wanted to get the NARS Orgasm Blush but it was $27 and I was determined to find something similar for a little less! The lady at Sephora was like “You didn’t hear this from me but at MAC they have a blush called ‘Peachykeen’ that is very similar for cheaper”. So i ran over to MAC and picked it up.. it’s great! I love it! Its not AS shimmery as the Nars but it’s still really great, and I’m so happy I bought it.. And That was my day:)

    I started baking pumpkin pies every fall two years ago when my family and I realized that we never loved any of the pumpkin pies we bought. Yep, we’re picky. Now we buy a pumpkin, cut it up, cook it, mash it, mix it with other ingredients and pre-buy crust ’cause we’re lazy. Then we cook it and it is DELICIOUS! I like extra cinnamon in my pie!

As for Breast Cancer Awareness, you know how Yoplait has pink ribbon lids? I always save them and register the code listed under each of them! Everyone should do that, too!

    Yay giveaway! It is sunny and warmish here in Charleston 🙂 Still cool enough to wear jeans and a long sleeved shirt, which is my jam. I am a cold weathered girl! I’m wearing NARS Outremer which I think is the best pigmented blue. It looks so primary blue in the pan, but once you get it on your lids, it almost has a purplish tinge to it! I love this color. It’s versatile enough to wear as a subtle cat eye, liner, or you could go out and do a full blown club look that Karen so beautifully demonstrated 😀

    I have never baked a pie. I’m not a huge pie fan, I prefer brownies and cake. Oh, and cupcakes. Damn, now I’m hungry.
    Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!

    I didn’t wear too much makeup this past week. Went on vacation in the mountains and figured heck, no one’s gonna see me! 😛 It’s nice to give my face a break too

    When I make pumpkin pie I mix pumpkin with Carnival squash, it makes one delicious pie!

    Was very excited to get the Half Wild and Idyllic paint pots this week – did a purple smokey eye with Half Wild, UD Black Palette’s Jet, and UD 24/7 pencil in Zero paired with Korres lip butter in Jasmine for a nude lip. Fast, easy, fabulous =)

    Best day all week here in Vancouver. Great day to enjoy some sun and warmth before the rain starts pouring down again.
