Rise and shine, morning glory! Or, in my case, rise and glow like a dim night light with a 1-watt bulb.

So sleepy…

I feel like I could have slept another two hours, but when I opened my eyes this morning I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I figured I’d come downstairs and see what the Tabinator’s been up to.

The answer to that: about seven feet. At the top of his cat tower, sleeping all rolled up in a cute little ball.

Awwww… He looks so precious. I think I’ll wake him up. 🙂

“Hi, Tabs.” Poke, poke. “Are you sleeping?”

No answer…

“Where’s my toy [codeword for Tabby]? Have you seen Mommy’s toy?” Poke, poke, poke. “Tabby, Tabby, Tabby. Wakey, wakey, wakey.”

LOL! I feel so crazy sometimes.

Which reminds me, if I go see The Muppets this afternoon, what kind of makeup should I wear…?

I’d be tempted to do something worthy of the subject matter, but in a theater filled with kids, candy and soda, that might not be a good idea. It could be the spark that turns the place into this…

“Karen…” Oh, I hear a cup of tea calling my name. Why don’t you enter today’s giveaway, and I’ll be right back. 🙂

    Cosplay is good if the cosplayers actually put effort into making their costumes, as opposed to just buying a Halloween costume and a wig.

    I ran to Target this morning to pick up the coconut chai tea you recommended and the most incredible thing happened… I found a king size missoni comforter and shams, for less than 35$. AMAZING. I also found a santa had and beard made for cats that I plan on having my kitty guy model on Xmas- oh, the humiliation.
    With regards to the muppets movie- I would definetly wear something sparkly on my fingers as a tribute to the fabulous Miss Piggy. Or maybe a scarf used as a headband- that seems like something she would do.

    I just told my hubby that one of the goals for today is for me to find a red lipstick. I have medium olive (MAC NC35) skin. If any of you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. I normally don’t wear red lipstick (I am a gloss wearing gal). However, red lipstick is perfect for the Holiday Season.

    The most outrageous makeup I’ve worn was in the ’80’s! I’m really dating myself now. I went to see Culture Club & Boy George always wore outrageous makeup. I wore metallic blue eyeshadow on my lips. Bright pink cheeks, turquoise, blue & pink eye shadows. Probably black liner & mascara. I also used the turquoise shadow in my hair. Got lots of compliments while I was waiting to go in to the show.

    I think cosplay’s really cool and I admire/respect anyone who does it. I’d like to try my hand at making a costume one day but I’m such a weenie. I wouldn’t have the guts to wear the makeup, costume, or act the part…and that kind of defeats the purpose of cosplaying, doesn’t it? I love seeing videos and photos of cosplayers in action from anime conventions though. The attention to detail on some costumes is amazing.

    I will answer the de-fuzz question. I have been lasering for over a year and couldn’t be happier. I never need to shave certain areas. Wherever I need touch-ups I go in. But even then the hair that grows back is very very fine and light in color. The downside: I have spent over $4000!!!! But I think it is a good investment.

    I need polish on my nails this time of year. All the hand washing makes them dry and split. The polish keeps them protected. Now, if I could just keep my cuticles in shape. Who has time to moisturize after every washing?

    Leg waxing is a real issue for me. (Is that weird or shallow? Maybe, but do I really care? Not so much. 😉 ) But, the thing is, I want to stick with waxing only, because I love the results, it’s just that the grow-out period kills me! I always end up falling back into shaving again due to some sort of event that requires a smooth leg before I am ready to wax. Oh well, the trials we face in the search for beauty. 😉

I wash dishes all throughout the day and refuse to wear gloves so my hands suffer:( Totally envious of all those pretty manicured hands.

    How do you feel about cosplay and getting all made up for special events?
    It’s not my thing, but I have a couple of friends who do it, and I have no problem with it.

    What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever done with your makeup and/or hair?
    Probably my Halloween costume a couple of years ago… I was a geisha, and I did the full-on white face paint and elaborately styled hair.

    What are you wearing on your nails?
    OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue!

    How often do you de-fuzz your legs, and what kind of wax or razor do you use?
    Not as often as I should! I can get away with doing it about once a week because I wear long pants most of the time. I use a plain ‘ol razor and shaving gel (Venus and Skintimate, respectively).

    Lol, I use a razor for my legs, and I hate how prickly the tiny stubs get, so I usually shave about twice or thrice a week. Some say that’s too often though, but oh well. 😛

    For a while this summer, i had a lot of color highlights in my hair. Over the span of 2 months I had around 8 colors in my hair. But the wildest was during june, I called it pride hair. My base color was black, but I had the center area of my hair highlighted in yellow, green, purple, and hot pink, I know not a complete rainbow but it gave the feel of a rainbow. One of the perks of working at a salon.

    Cosplay is awesome! Wish I had more time (and the body) to actually pull it off though. However, I’m currently in the process of helping out a male friend of mine prepare a cosplay for an upcoming convention…however he’ll be dressing up as a girl which is oodles of fun. XD

    This whole thing though has kinda sparked an interest in makeup in him (however, he’s also an artist and has been wanting to understand how it works as he draws/colors more drawings of women’s faces.) 🙂 So much so that we’ve had the pleasure of going to places like Ulta and letting him try on makeup, which have ended in exchanges like the following:

    “What do you mean blend out the foundation?”

    “Blend it out so you don’t look all streaky. You’re an artist, you’ll get what I mean.”

    “…OH! I get it!”

    He loves Tarte’s Recreate Anti-aging Foundation, btw. ;3 I’ve been sending him here as well as Temptalia for tutorials. I absolutely love how open he’s been about this and I like having a male friend who’s interested and willing to learn about makeup. XD

    The most outrageous thing I ever did with hair and makeup was the 1980’s. Seriously. The worst of it was from 1985-1988, but I think the whole decade counts.

    I saw your suggestion about what was the craziest thing I’ve done with makeup. Well… at the time I was working for Estee Lauder and an event of ours happened to fall on Halloween. I couldn’t decide on a costume, so did a split costume. Half fairy and half something else (why can I not remember what it was?? ) Along with the half and half costume, I did half and half makeup. A gigantic blue star covering almost my entire face on one side and purple, blue, pink and white fading into each other with swirls on the other ( for the fairy).

    People at work loved it… now if I could only remember what that other half was and why I had a star on my face.

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).
