Win a $50 Sephora eGift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog

It’s another glorious fall day out Novato way, babe, and I’m just getting up. I know I’m a little late today, but I let myself sleep in. Wait — who am I kidding? It was Tabs who let me sleep in because the tabby alarm clock didn’t chime.

I haven’t seen or heard any sign of him this morning… I guess he’s sleeping in, too.

What are you up to this weekend? Did you do anything last night? I stayed home and watched the new episode of Grimm. Have you been watching that? Pretty good, right? It kinda reminds me of The Dresden Files, which I used to like, in how it melds the fairytale and modern worlds together. I like it when the protagonists in things like that aren’t just flawed, which you gotta have, but also in way over their head most of the time.

Once I find “my toy,” which is this week’s new nickname for Tabs (“Where’s my toy!?” “Time to play with my toy.” “I love my toy…”), and lavish him with lurvies for a spell, I think I’ll ask El Hub if he’ll take me to breakfast. I’ve been craving pancakes and popcorn somethin’ fierce lately, so if I can take care of the pancake cravings now, then I can focus on the popcorn one at the movies this afternoon.

Yep, busy day today, as you can tell, and it totally revolves around food. 🙂

I hope you have something nice lined up for this weekend. Why don’t we start with our Sephora giveaway to get things off to a good start? You know what that means. It’s…

  8. I stayed home last night also. Watched on-demand back episodes of American Horror Story, because I heard it was amazing (it is)! Unfortunately I could only find episodes 4-6, so I am a liitle lost on how the story started in episodes 1-3. 🙂

  22. Lucky! My kitty alarm clock was very insistant today. After just meowing didn’t work, she did this new thing where she stands up on her back legs with her front paws on the bed, and whacks the bed with one paw. I think she’s trying to get at me but can’t quite reach and is too lazy to jump up, hehe

  23. My friend is really into Dresdon Files and has been trying to get me to read them, they sound pretty good! I can barely keep up with watching Glee, so Grimm is probably out of the question for now.

  60. What’s your favorite fairytale?
    I never really liked fairy tales when I was a kid. I preferred sci-fi. 🙂

    Have you ever braided your hair?
    Like… just a simple, single braid? Of course. Takes me about 30 seconds to do one.

    What’s your outlook on glitter as it pertains to makeup?
    No, no, and no.

    Are you hungry for anything in particular right now, and if so, what?
    No, but I did just eat some cordial cherries… and now I’m actually feeling a bit sick to my stomach. 🙁

  64. I’m currently obsessed with Givenchy’s Photo’Perfexion Foundation! #4 Perfect Vanilla is a great match for my NC20 complexion, it makes my face looks flawless and lasts all day, plus it has spf 20 PA +++ built in. Omg. Obessed. A $50 gift card would sure help me out since it’s a pricey obsession at $47 for .8 oz….

  86. hmm, well glitter is fun, but messy.
    fairy tales rock!
    would like a veggie omelet right about now
    and I used to get complements and questions on how I braided my hair. At first I didn’t realize it was any different than a normal braid (since it was the only way I had taught myself how), but I guess its backwards or something. LOL

  128. Even though I LOVE glitter/sparkles I tend to wear it mostly on my nails. I do like shimmer in blush but sometimes I want a matte blush. For eyeshadow, I like some shimmer/ some glitter as long as there is no major fallout. If there is fallout or glitter all over your face then it’s just not worth the trouble.

  147. I braid my hair occasionally now, I used to do it a lot in high school. When other girls saw my hair in gym they would ask me to do their hair for them too! And as for glitter, love it on my nails and sometimes on my lips or eyes. 🙂

  148. I love fairy tales. Especially the new show on abc, Once Upon a Time ! It is so good. My hair is relatively short (posh bob) so the one thing I miss about long hair is being able to do braids. I’ve always wanted to do a fishtail braid! Have a good weekend! 🙂

  186. I love Grimm, too! There’s something about a protagonist who’s unwillingly thrown into the story that I love. It makes the story more believable, despite being about fairytale characters.

  187. I loooovvvveeee glitter! It’s so sparkly (duhr!) and sparkly things make me smile! I like to wear a black glitter eyeliner (Lorac, I think?) for special evenings out every now and then and I love an occasional glittery shadow. However, I hate glittery shadow fallout!!! I am currently loving a few glitter polishes including OPI Spark-tacular, and China Glaze Snow Globe and Twinkle Lights! I would love to get my hands on Deb. Lippmann’s Across the Universe, but her polishes are sooo $$!!

  188. I love glitter in a lot of cases (except blush), but I find that it can be hard to wear while still trying to look like a serious grad student. How do you do that? I hate the thought of my professors thinking I spent more time on my makeup than my homework. Someone needs to do some tutorials for this issue!

  194. When it comes to glitter in makeup, I think less is more. I also think that fine glitter is much better than chunky glitter. A good way to wear glitter is on the eyes, whether it be liner or a shadow. Someone who wears glitter well is Lauren (aka QueenOfBlending). She’s amazing! 🙂

  217. I love just about any fairytale, but my favorite ones are the ones written down by the Brothers Grimm (the original, uncensored ones.) They are some of the bloodiest, most violent ones ever and I love ’em. Second is Hans Christian Andersen. I read all of them as a kid and, apparently, they never scarred me. I guess I only hate bloody in my movies and television series!

  233. I love Grimm! Its been enjoyable to watch since most of my other favorite shows are either on hiatus between seasons (The Game of Thrones), or just take unbearable amounts of time between episodes (Fringe). It’s been fun to see such creative ways of turning those fairy tale villains into modern day monsters.

  269. Yay, I love your contests and the questions you ask! Even though you always say that we can comment on anything we want, I always like to answer the questions you post! =) That being said, let me tell you that I recently learned how to french braid on YouTube (you can learn anything on there) and it’s come in really handy because I have 4 daughters and their hair is always out of control! I’ve yet to try french braiding my own hair though! The way that I feel about glitter in my makeup is that it is gorgeous on others, but not on me! I feel like I’m too “old” for glitter and shimmer nowadays and tend to stick to mattes! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  475. Well, I’m looking for a new skin care line, I change it up every Christmas. I have been using dermologica all year, with little success. The lotion is too heavy, and the face wash is too light. The previous year I used kheils acai, and I really did not feel any benefits. I might go with ole henricksen becausethe red tea face wash isn’t horrible, but I am also wavering on perricone md…we will see.

  486. Hey there! I love glitter in makeup, but not too much. Some days i’m totally into my sparkly Bella Bamba powder and others; well, i just wouldn’t touch High Beam with a ten foot pole.

    Ya know what? The other day i bought Aveeno’s ‘Positively Radiant’ tinted moisturizer and whaddaya know. There was GLITTER in it. I mean, i love it and all, but where will it end!!!!!!!!!? *shakes fist*

    Yay to sparkle in blush and Nay to shimmer in tinted moisturizer (i feel like i should don a British accent and Shakespearan clothes when i use the words ‘yay’ and ‘nay’) hahaha.

    All the bes to you and Tabs 🙂

    xx
