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. 🙂

For the muppets, I’d do a fun bright eye with some shimmers. =0) Maybe blue and greens? or a Pink?
I love Gremlins, and the sequel. So ahead of it’s time.
I need to find a sports bra that doesn’t give me una-boob. Any suggestions?
Cosplay is good if the cosplayers actually put effort into making their costumes, as opposed to just buying a Halloween costume and a wig.

Amazing giveaway!!! I love Sephora!
I want to try real cosplay! I’ve only gone half-way, copied a bit of the character’s hair and fashion. I want to go all out next time with wigs and props and stuff 🙂

I don’t get the Muppets hype. They kinda freak me out. Even more than the Smurfs, and those things are WEIRD. But enjoy your movie!
Chelsie recently posted … Three Ring Mom does NaNoWriMo (again)
I once went to a party dressed as “bald Britany” AKA britney spears right after she shaved her head and went a bit crazy- basically I smeared mascara and eyeliner all around my eyes and got to wear sweats to a club!
It’s a cold day in LA nothing better to do than go shopping
I would love to have the talent to be able to sew up an amazing costume like some cosplayers!
I love Sephora!
Love the Gremlins! When I was little people called me Gizmo 🙂
It never really feels like Christmas to me until I see the Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon. That’s always been my favorite holiday show.
Hi Karen! What’s your MUST have makeup palette???
Thanks for this AWESOME giveaway 😉
One time I just smeared mascara all over my face for photo time.
I’m going to see the Muppets this weekend too – can’t wait!
Ugh so tired today. Just wish I could stay sleeping!
i love watching cosplay. i find it hilarious, but id never do it.
I went on a coffee date Thursday morning and thoroughly enjoyed his company more than anything presented to me in the month of November. And now, hello, December. =]
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 dyed my hair pink once. I shave daily – gotta have smooth legs! Have a great weekend, Karen!
I really want to see that movie!
I always feel kind of bad when I wake my kitty up from a nap – but I rationalize it by saying hey, she can nap ALL DAY while I’m at work! Lucky kitty.
I had a similarly cute cat experience this morning. My cat (Jerry) looks a bit like Tabs! Anyway its raining and cold here and he did not want me to get out of bed. He informed me of this by sitting on my belly and nipping me if I tried to move. I guess that’s cute…right?
Hey Karen! Currently wearing OPI’s French Quarter for Your Thoughts on my nails. Perfect shade of gray to make me feel edgy & cool, but last week at Thanksgiving even my super-conservative mom said she liked them! A shade that every generation can agree on!
Oh! The Muppets! Tell us if it’s worthy going to the movies to watch it! Have a good time!

i feel a cup of chocolate tea with marshmallows calling me. Yum!
Going to a Christmas Party tonight, yeah! Hope you enjoy your day.
On my nails I’m wearing Revlons Facets of Fuchsia absolutely lovely color.
I love your giveaways!
I’m wearing NYC’s Chinatown on my nails right now but planning on a more festive Christmasy manicure later today. 🙂
lazy day.. hopefully not!
Love sephora! I’m in need of new makeup sponges and a new parfume, I hope i’m not on the naughty list this year
Fragile Rock Baby!!!!
Fraggle.. I hate auto spell
🙂 You need to try sugaring in lieu of a wax. I found through lifebooker a sugaring place called sugar me los angeles. Fantastic. Hair doesn’t grow back as quickly and you get a mini exfoliation.
If I was going to the muppets I would use the UD liner in Junkie to add some green to my look.
I only dress up for Harry Potter related events 😀
I currently have nothing on my nails. I’ve been wanting to paint them all week but have been so busy. When I finally do, I want to use my new Butter London polishes from their holiday collection.
PinkGlitter recently posted … Handmade Love Vol. V
My nails are bare today, just the way I like them.
Unfortunately I’m not wearing anything on my nails yet (prohibited during clinicals) but i’m waiting until the last day to try out Sephora’s Trend Tips in Birds 🙂
Nothing on my nails yet today, will be painting them later for the next 3 days of work.
I’m enjoying a nice lazy Saturday with some espresso 🙂
I’ve bee wearing nay on my nails for the last little bit and I’m loving it 🙂 It’s Sally Hansen in Navy Baby! Also, go all out for the Muppets!! I love doing special makeup looks even if its for just a random event or seeing a movie on my own.. Its so fun!!
I **always** feel like I can slept another two hours! At least it’s sunny today – but if we have another 80 degree day in December I’m going to move to the North Pole!
I’m tired of all the sunny days too. We need some cold Winter weather!
I love cosplay! Ive been wanting to do it before and just started doing it last year! Now im totally enjoying it. I make my costumes from scratch, with the help of my dad. and also i try my best to style the wig! most manga and anime artists give the characters crazy hair! its a lot of work but in the end if it turns out great, im glad 🙂 and its hella fun to cosplay and meet other cosplayers!
I’m wearing OPI Barefoot in Barcelona with 3 coats of Katy Perry Teenage Dream. Trying to track down OPI Rainbow Connection & Gettin Miss Piggy With It. Sold out EVERYWHERE. BTW, I love your blog Karen.
I’m really excited about putting up the Christmas tree this weekend.
Goodness, our cats try to help wake us up. Finder (the big galloot) will lick my eyelids if i don’t get up quick enough after the (radio) alarm goes off.
I love cosplaying so much! The first cosplay I did, I made everything myself! If I ever go back to Comic Con, I want to get a 4 day pass and cosplay something different for the 4 days 🙂
I love doing my makeup for a special occasion. When I went to see the Muppets movie, I wore a look from my TheBalm muppets pallett!
It’s a sunny day today – really brightens my mood when the weather’s great! 🙂 Happy Saturday, Karen!

I’m celebrating my birthday next weekend!
I did something similar to my nails last night! I was wearing Catrice Hip Queen Wear Blue Jeans, and then decided to add some crazy glitter (because I’m an adult). I used WnW Diamond in the Rough and did a gradient just like your last post. It needed a ton of topcoat, but whatevs, it’s sparkly.
loving the new Deborah Lippmann glitter nail polishes for Christmas 🙂
hey! love your blog,
and my suggestion for the show would be that you MUST floss any color from the O-P-I Muppets Collection!
and in answer to your question about wax, i buy my own wax from Sally’s and don’t pay anyone to do my eyebrows cuz i do them myself!
thanks and keep bloggin, i really like this place :]
I can’t believe it’s December already!
i dyed my hair RED in college
I just purchased my sister’s xmas gift and bday gift– I think it might not be that fun to have a birthday so close to Christmas, if your family celebrates it, you know? But she has never complained. I hope she’ll like the Lancome lipstick I got her =D
aslkdfgh when did it become not-September?! D:

My fingernails have been bare for over a month now, which is unusual for me. My toes are Butter London’s Big Smoke. Soooo pretty! I need to redo them soon though, it’s finally wearing off.
I love cosplay, but I’m not a very good sewer and it’s extremely expensive!
Excited to go to a bank party with my friend tonight
Why won’t priceline accept my bid for a flight?? I need a vacation!
I love the gremlins, this movie is so fun ! 😀
Im waiting for my La Mer radiant concealer to come to meee 🙁
Have a fun weekend with Tabs! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
My nails are completely bare today, no nail polish, nothin.
I’d really love a gift card!
hope i win! ^^
I feel like I haven’t painted my nails in forever even though it was really only last week…I had a pretty purple cream polish from essence on. I never realized how great that brand was!
I had no idea what cosplay even was till I googled it!
Ooo I would cosplay in a heart beat (I’m such nerdy geek!) but DH wouldn’t be caught dead doing anything cosplay. Unfortunately, my life is such that I don’t have time for cosplay or anything remotely like that. Le Sigh………… :0)
Happy Saturday. I don’t have anything on my fingernails. Too much upkeep, but defintely have my toenails painted. Pink of course w/ flowers. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
I need to stop shopping. There’s been far too many sales lately that I can’t pass up.
So it’s FINALLY feeling chilly in NYC, debating what to wear … Sister is having a boxing party tonight. Team Cotto! 😉
I’m lemming for the new NAked 2 palette
Loving all the holiday nail polish! I’ve got to get my hands on the China Glaze collections!
Today is my birthday!! And the best present would be for me to go buy a bottle of Viva La Juicy!
Once for a zombie costume i put an oatmeal and molasses mixture in my hair to look like brains….and after I washed it off, my hair was really soft and shiny!
I’m not into cosplay, but I’m in anyway:)

Hi, Karen, Thank you for the giveaway!
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.
I’m loving NARS’ newest, “Joyous Red”. I think it could work for multiple skin tones.
Went to a christmas bunch this morning and going to a Christmas part tonight! Crazy how it sneaks up on you!
rimmel lasting long violet metal nail polish <3
Today is the start of finals week, so I will be having no fun until next thursday or friday 🙁
everyone is putting up xmas lites butme
I love the Zoya polish from the last birchbox!
I actually had never heard of Cosplay until I just recently saw this documentary on TV… I think some of the costumes look kind of cool. haha
I am wearing Essie Aruba blue 🙂
Rainy and cold today so I think I’ll get cozy and read a book!
I don’t like the cold weather of fall/winter but I do live the dark color nail lacquers out for fall/winter. Sephora has a great collection of colors by OPI, Nails Inc, Sephora, Dior & NARS. I can’t wait to fill my order!
god , please let me win. LOL!
I’m seeing The Muppets today too!
Hey Karen! I love your blog and the way that you intertwine your love for Tabs with your love for beauty.
I love Sephora!!
I can’t wait till Christmas!
yay! Christmas is almost here!!!
i love your blog. i don’t know how i found you, but i’m glad i did! i’m getting my sis the benefit — ticket to glossytown — set. have you tried it?
I really want to try Tarina Tarantino Aurora Jewel Shadow Palettes from Sephora.
I could really use some new makeup. My 4 year old son destroyed my last lipstick by using it to color on the mirror…
I haven’t shaved in about 3 years. I always wax now. Yeah, it takes a lot of time, but think of how much time you can save not shaving everyday.
i love sephora! and giveaways!
cosplay is cool even more when the people dressing up look like the characters
I have been debating a tough decision, to get the Naked palette, or Naked 2 from Urban Decay, its impossible to decide!
I’m wearing Lapiz of Luxury by Essie
Hi there, thanks for the opportunity to win a Sephora gift card.
Im a beast.. i have to shave almost every day. My little cousins love rubbing my prickly legs. Lol. And I have essie mezmerize and china glaze tinsel town on my nails.
I love (annoy) my cat Princess Girl with my need to wake her when she’s sleeping “cutely”! I am one of those women who has NO IDEA what to do with makeup, let alone for a special occasion. Just came to your blog, looking forward to learning something…hopefully about makeup…LOL! Have fun at the Muppets!
I want to try some Tarte stuff!
Dying to go on a shopping spree
Thanks for a chance at a giveaway! It’s so cool that you offer this.
Personally, with my warm skintone and dark hair i think I could totally Cosplay Pocahontas, Jasmine, or Belle! 😉
It’s wonderful to fall asleep on a cold night with a kitteh pressed against your side ^^
Am I the only one who didn’t watch the Muppets as a child? I feel like I’m missing out on all the collections because I just don’t get the appeal…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🙂
Finished my Xmas shopping yesterday!
I use an epilator because it lasts longer than shaving but cheaper than waxing ! Thanks Karen ! (:
Saw the Muppet Mvie last week-end and loved it! Why was their ever cancelled anyways????
Today, I’m filming part of a short movie for my Korean language class. It’ll be my first time doing such a project so I’m excited!
lol wow, I actually used to cosplay a lot when I went to nerdy conventions. I, personally, love costuming and role-playing so it was great fun to do that! But sadly I don’t really go to conventions anymore, so my box of costumes goes unused until Halloween. 🙁
Today is hubbies B-day. I felt so bad for him that he had to work and on top of it deal with a very rude customer who wanted to get everything for free and didn’t want to pay, what is wrong with people? hopefully the rest of his day will be better.
used WEN for the first time today in winter vanilla mint. i got a nice sample size from qvc’s beauty test tube. let’s see how it goooooes.
Nails Inc. Jermyn Street on my nails right now… but planning on bowling tonight, so will be needing new nail polish tomorrow. Love your Raiders nails!
I think if you’re going to see the Muppets, you need to wear at least one of the Muppets makeup items that’s come out recently! There are so many! Maybe some Miss Piggy Pink, or The Balm’s Muppet palette 🙂
Hi Karen – love your site!
My neighbor’s kitty is visiting me right now, so I don’t have much time for comments 🙂
Global Winter Wonderland!
When I was 15 years old I tried to go to a party with black liner all over the eyes. My mom had me turn around and take off all of it before I could get out of the house again. Heehee, black smoky eyes haven’t been my cup of tea since 😉
I don’t know what to buy my kitties for xmas… 🙁
I have been incredibly unproductive today 🙁
I am wearing OPI red
Do a fun bright make up look for going to see the Muppets. Even if the kids turn into Gremlins you can still sit back and enjoy the show! Hehehehe!
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 totally get cosplay-though I limit my dressing up to Halloween only. There is nothing I love more than getting ready for a good costume party! Thanks Karen! Enjoy your weekend!
I barely have patience to put on real clothes, let alone cosplay. You can only have the character’s costume not their body. I always wanted to be Batgirl. Purple patent latex on this fanny?? Notsomuch.
Happy Birthday to me!
I love football weekends!

I’m wearing my pretty jewelry around the house…
I think I might already be done with my Xmas shopping.
I really could use a Sephora gift card right about now…
I would love to get my hands on a Naked palette!
I would love to get the new Urban Decay Naked Palette. I love the original. I have done do many eye looks. I know the Naked 2 Palette will be great also.

what is your fav food during the holidays
Love these giveaways and Sephora! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Naked 2 palette!
i wore blue eyeliner during my first year of college!
I’ve been wanting to try that magnetic nail polish from sephora. It looks so cool!
Happy holidays, Karen and Tibby Tabby!
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’m wearing Inglot 957 on my nails today.
Almost time to return to work after 10 days off – great Turkey day w/Hub and a train trip across FL to visit my friend of over 40 years – boy i’m getting old – LOL
I so did not want to wake up this morning… :p
not sure if my last one posted?
I’m photographing for the blog and printing papers for anthropology.
I recommend Kermit green eye makeup. MAC Fresh Flare or UD Graffiti. 😀
yes it did sorry for the double/triple post
I need a bronzer that actually contours on my skin tone -_____-
Going this afternoon to see the Muppets with my niece and nephews. Wearing pinkish-brown eyeshadow and pink blush. Can6 wait to see Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Beaker.
did some xmas shopping today
I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet. :l
One more week of school left!
lately, i’ve been loving Ellis Faas makeup
Yay to the weekend
I just placed a bid on the bloggers charity auction. I hope I win!
Definitely a first world problem but I don’t know how to spend my $20 from sephora….
can’t wait for christmas
I put a few pink highlights in my hair in high school.
I love how people get so into cosplay–it’s really impressive how people commit to a character, down the last details. Plus, it’s an excuse to dress up!
currently omn my nails is high maintenance by china claze! gorgeous fall red color!
The Muppet movie was really good! I love Jason Segal.
I use an epilator for all of my de-fuzzing :P.
I order tons of stuff on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and alot of the packages are coming in now. Super thrilled. =) It’s like Christmas morning at my house!
Joyce recently posted … Review: MAC Gareth Pugh 182 Square Handled Buffer Brush (Couture Limited Edition)
I was thinking that this past year has, for the most part, been pretty good. Can’t believe it is almost over but I am looking forward to 2012 and hoping it is filled with wonderful things too.
I like cosplay and costumes in general, although I am not a huge fan of anything. I always enjoy dressing up for Dragon*Con, though!
I have usually had outrageous hair, so nothing i do leaps out. I am thinking of shaving off my asymmetrical blue radical bob, though, just cause I have never shaved my head before. 🙂
I SO don’t want to go to work. I didn’t go to bed until 8:30am, so I didn’t wake up until an hour ago. I missed the day! Stupid insomnia.
An Essie shade… Should be named “Jeannie’s skin tone.”
I love your sephora gift card giveaways! I really wanted to get the NARS danmari palette but it’s out of stock in my store & online 🙁
working through tons of essays and studying for a gazillion tests
i would love a lil pick me up 🙂
My Naked 2 palette is out for delivery today, I can’t wait to get home from work to admire it…I can’t play with the eye shadows till after I take pictures in the daylight tomorrow!!! Ahh so excited especially since I never got the first one 😀

I think cosplay can be fun but sometimes, it can be awkward lol . I think if I were going to an event I’d wear outrageous makeup.
My hubby and I are Beaker fans.
Not into cosplay, but cosplay (circle) lenses!
I really never do anything wild with my hair or makeup….but now for the holidays I am trying to play with more colors especially with my lips 🙂
I LOVE cosplay I want to cosplay Katniss Everdeen when she goes into the quarter-quell and be the girl on fire!!
Happy Saturday! Thanks for another giveaway!
I am wearing OPI’s Gel manicure on my nails! Lincoln Park after Dark
I love dressing up and will use any excuse to do so!
Butter London Victoriana on my toes and about to do Essie Master Plan on my fingers.
i hope i win
I’ve never cosplayed before, but it intrigues me. I’ve seen some really creative looks on the web!
dani@callitbeauty recently posted … Monthly Favourites – November 2011
Love Sephora, need some new OPT for the holidays.
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 love getting really made up and have alot of fun trying out new makeup looks!
Have got a massive headache and have to watch hours of an online lecture on mathematical game theory. Trying to stay positive!
I am craving pancakes!
I’m not one for putting nail polish on; however, I’ve been good at *not* biting them lately. wahooo!
I’ve had my eye on the Urban Decay Naked palette lately, though I haven’t decided whether to get the original or Naked 2. (Thanks for the comparison swatches, by the way.) Either way, the gift card would be perfect! *fingers crossed*
Finals for me are coming up next week and i am dreading it!
I’m stoked for the new Revlon Hybrid UV polishes coming out this month!
I just painted my nails with Zoya Julieanne. It’s gorgeous!!
Im learning how to make wax at home this weekend and Im so excited!
i am most definitely not shaving my legs for as long as i can this winter. i haven’t shaved since the last friday of october!! :]
My nails are au naturale right now!
lol looking back at old photos, I always say ‘what was I thinking?!?!?!’ in regards to hair sttles or make up application. LOL. Shameeeee.
I hate to admit this, but I rarely defuzz my legs. I have very fine, light colored hair that is barely noticeable. I only defuzz if I am going to be wearing a dress or for a special occasion. I know, that sounds horrible!
I’m wearing sally henson in co-balt on my nails 🙂
a gift certificate…a girl can dream
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?
Oh, I would just love to win! So much beauty goodness at Sephora! 😉
*sleepy zombie face* =_=
I saw the muppets at a free screening a few weeks ago! It’s a cute and funny movie.
I’m painting my nails.. 🙂
I’m having a lazy day today lol. I’m watching Madagascar with my kids right now. How was the Muppets? Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I have dark auburn hair and am a NC42. I got the crazy idea one time I wanted to be a blonde. I bought a box dye and did it myself. The result was orange straw hair. It’s a miracle my hair didn’t fall out!
I’m deciding what to paint my nails right now. Shine of the times + Lady Muck maybe.
id get my hands on the nars blush palette if i got this
I love dressing up to go out 😀
Love these giveaways 🙂
This morning, the way I woke up? My wonderful calico cat was trying to drink out of the toilet and she fell in and got stuck! so I got out of my nice comfy bed and went to get her out AFTER I took some nice photos first! 😉
Love sephora!
LOVE Cosplaying!! Oh so fun…why should playing my favorite character be limited only to Halloween. I love to sew and trying to recreate Rapunzel or Belle from costume to make up is just so much fun. Breaks up the bore of a nothing to do day twirling around with my 9 year old pretending to be a princess, video game character, or super hero for the day.
what is love!
I think most cosplayers are great but then I always see LOL worthy ones on the internet. I shave my legs every other day though in the winter I get a little lazy… :X
Enjoy your movie, the Muppets film got many accolades from Rotten Tomatoes, awesome.
The weirdest makeup for me is yet to come: going to an 80’s party next saturday. So, to go with my pink neon lace, will be wearing bright blue eyeshadow and fuschia blush, and crimping my whole head of hair. Lol I can’t wait 🙂
sounds like fun… you should dress up as miss piggy (and why not wear the makeup from her MAC collection while at it!)
There’s always either really awesome cosplay or really crappy cosplay, haha.
Would love to get that Naked 2 palette, or even the original Naked one…
Is anyone else just dying to get ahold of the new Naked2 Palette by Urban Decay?!! I have the first one and love it. I went into Sephora yesterday and they didnt have it yet. Sold out on the urbandecay site… Sephora said it will be in next week. Hopefully I can pick one up this holiday season.
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’m wearing OPI Muppets Collection color Meep-Meep-Meep. I love this color!!!
My nails are a bit brittle so I have on garlic nail hardener
I know I’m not gonna win but I love your website….lot of informations and with tone of pictures!!…:)..
Nothing on my nails!
I just got back from Sephor and spend enough today and from Black Friday to ensure VIB status for next year. I’m really loving the Kat Von D collection though I’m definitely buying UD Naked 2
I love this blog! I just finished up student teaching for this semester and I only have 4 papers to write and I’ll be done with the semester next Friday!!
Naked2 is coming to Sephora online on the 27th of December and in-store on the 26th of January. I don’t have either Naked Palette and was planning on getting the first one before this came out. Now I’m not sure which one I want! HELP, Karen! I think I have warm undertones, but I know I have blue eyes, blond hair, and medium-fair skintone.
I am so mad I bought the wrong YSL foundation at Sephora but I was in a rush since it was so crowded 🙁
I cannot wear nail polish on my finger nails. Every time I get my nails done, it either starts peeling off or I myself begin chipping at it. I am intrigued to try the gel manicure. I wash dishes all throughout the day and refuse to wear gloves so my hands suffer:( Totally envious of all those pretty manicured hands.
man oh man, study break! i’ve been at school for the past 5 hrs! i’d rather be at home washing my make up brushes!!
Most outrageous thing I’ve done with my makeup has been wearing onyx lip gloss. It was part of a Halloween costume though so unfortunately I’m not that daring 🙂
Amazing giveaway! Thanks for the oppertunity!!
Im exited for christmas, its my favorite holiday… But it really does suck to not be able to give because of being broke… I love to give and it hurts to not be able to..
Keep up your amazing work. You inspire me so much!!
XOXO,
Sarah (:
I dont have anything on my nails right now still deciding, anybody have suggestion on fun and festive colors?!?!
I would LOVE to Cosplay!!! Especially since my husband and I play World of Warcraft (we met in game too!)
Too bad I don’t know how to operate a sewing ma-CHEEN!
studying for finals is such a drag!
Karen,
i hear you on being tired. I just woke up from a nice little nap after a very early and long day at work. Love the blog!
About time I go to Sephora. Merry Christmas!
My Naked 2 was in my door and my bf forbid me to see it…he said I have to wait till Dec 25th…or he will put it on ebay if I peek…:(
Time to go visit sephora and get some blushes….i am into a blush a lot these days
I’m wearing bright blue nail polish with really gaudy glitter on top… and LOVING it 😀
I like seeing people cosplay-ing, but I don’t think I have the confidence to pull of the costumes.
I’m ready for Sephora shopping too although I just saw Chanel spring stuff out on counters today!
I only need to shave once a week. My legs aren’t very hairy. Unfortunately, since I am post-menopausal, I also have a mustache and a beard that need to be shaved once a week too! I use a Venus Divine tropical for my legs and my hubby’s electric razor for the beard and stash.
i really hope my naked2 palette gets here monday. the tracking says it’s in dsm today, which is about two hours away. i think i need psychological help with my UD obsession..
loved that last nail tutorial you did!
My niece is into cosplay and I enjoy seeing her have so much fun with it and the makeup aspect but I couldn’t get into it myself 🙂
I loooooove to get dolled up for special occasions…..or no occasion at all 🙂
Lets give it another shot! Good Luck!!
I use Schick Quattro daily. It does a good job.
I will definitely be recycling my Halloween costume and cosplaying as Catwoman to my boyfriend’s Batman @ the new Batman premiere 🙂
I haven’t been out to Sephora in a while. I just placed an order with the $15 gift card I got from them!
wish they could open Sephora in Thailand
now I wish I would win this Ha Ha Ha
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).
About to paint my nails with China Glaze’s Pelican Gray 🙂
I always have a bunch of makeup that i want from sephora….i’m addicted 🙂
just got my sephora promotional gift card can’t make up my mind what to get 😉
I’ve had it up to HERE with studying for my Organic Chemistry Mechanisms final. Gotta take a break to eat chocolate, watch TV, and paint my nails.
Nails are short and nude right now. I’ve been waiting to buy the Nails Inc. top coat and base coat to do manicures since I want to quit my current top and base coats. I just hate that Seche Vite has toluene in it (yikes!), and I’m pretty sure that the Orly rubberizing base coat makes my nails even more susceptible to peeling.
I’m painting my nails with Revlons Facets of Fuchia. Doing that and reading your blog, pretty good Saturday night if you ask me 😉 Enjoy the rest of your weekend Karen.
My kitty sleeps curled up in a cute little ball sometimes too. He’s more likely to be stretched out on his back with his front paws covering his face, though!
Just wondering what Tabs has on Christmas Wish List. But, with being a top cat super-model I cannot imagine there is much he does not have.
still thinking what to get @ sephora. too bad naked 2 is not there yet
Hope that you make it to the Muppets, and enjoy the movie. It’s a charmer.
Thanks again for another wonderful giveaway opportunity, Karen! 😀
I am completely enamored with grey nail polish. I have a metallic shade on now called Freja by Zoya. So pretty on uber short nails!

I am in dire need for some grey boots
I’m not wearing anything on my fingernails, but I’ve got the remnants of a pedicure done with one of OPI’s Serena Williams nail polishes on my toes. I’ve been doing a lot of running lately so I’ve worn the polish down to almost nothing. It’s a great purple color.
I took an LSAT today, only my bf and family know about it. ..and I’m not looking forward to finding out what my score is 🙁
Soo recently posted … Urban Decay Mini Bundle Giveaway
Right now my nail polish is devils advocate by essie. Im dying to get my hands on butter londons black knight and nails inc donmar collection.
four more days til the end of the semester!!!
I love Cosplay. People take their role really seriously sometimes though which is so funny but I like that they take their time and effort to come up with awesome costumes.
just bought a new blush from sephora! addicted much ? hehe
My nails have been seriously neglected. I think I’ll paint them tomorrow 🙂
My manicure is sort of outrageous … CG For Audrey topped with BL Tart with a Heart
https://twitter.com/#!/dropastitch/status/143023452662661120
i would love to have tha clarisonic system !!! 😀
Already getting the holiday blues, I think… 🙁 On the cosplay note, going to the San Diego ComiCon and dressing as Dany from Game of Thrones is on my Bucket List.
I have some light shimmery silvery color by Essie on my nails right now (don’t remember the color name). It’s chipping though so will need to repaint tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
I cannot paint my nails! All it takes is one tiny chip, and they drive me crazy! It’s like finding the fist few split ends on your hair…it’s never the same.
I think my legs partook in no-shave November, too! Lol:)
I wish I had more special events to do dramatic makeup looks for 🙂 and as to cosplay…still have yet to go to my first anime convention… :'( They always seem to happen at inconvenient times
I just had the OPI no chip manicure done yesterday in You Don’t Know Jacque. Love it so far…we’ll see how it stands up tho!
I can’t wait for the holiday parties to start! I love dressing up 🙂
in winter i get so lazy about shaving my legs i really should be better!! but its so cold i dont ever want to stay to long in the shower
Hi, Karen! I’m wearing OPI’s Seagurl on my nails and I love it!
i hope i win so i can just buy the ud naked palette(the 1st one)….hehe…or mufe super matte powder!!!!! lalala hope you have a wonderful day
Hi!!
I’m wearing OPI’s OPI Ink on my nails.. and I love it so far :))
I just ordered Miracle Skin Transformer Treat and Conceal because the NY Times recommended it in the latest Fashion/Style section. $36 for a 0.5 oz tube. Wish me luck!
The craziest thing I ever did with my makeup was wear dark blue lipstick and light blue mascara together! I was in middle school, I would never be brave enough for that now.
It snow last night. Winter is here!
Wearing bare nails right now. Probably a good thing, because I would have destroyed a good manicure after terrible Saturday I’ve had (someone stole my debit card # & made a $1900 purchase on walmart.com last night at 2:03am – acct now froze & I’m out that money to buy xmas presents until fraud case is resolved). UGH! Could use a little pick-me-up right about now :))
Also tweeted giveaway info!
https://twitter.com/#!/kimpcole/status/143165946058653696
I literally just painted Essie’s Well Read on my fingers, it’s such a pretty red and I figured it fit the season, right? (;
my craziest makeup project was painting my face for Halloween in the “Calaveras” fashion. I got lots of compliments on it at the party I went to. I used eye and lip pencils and wet shadows, as well as paints from Kryolan to make the fancy designs.
I just put my hair back and wore all black to have the face stand out.
I’m sporting a deep purply red on my toes and a boring old nude on my hands. Thanks for these giveaways! 🙂
i have no idea what cosplay is…but i am wearing revlon facets of fuschia on my nails! gorgeous! 🙂
eeek what a fun giveaway. I hope I can win.
I really enjoy your blog! Thank you for offering this great give-a-way!
I need a manicure badly!
Lol you would have to wear the Miss Piggy MAC makeup to the Muppets movie of course!
Hope you have fun!
My hubby just bought me a new purple blanket that feels like a teddy bear. He is so awesome! So is my new blanket 🙂
I LOOVEE your nails in the last post !!
Hahaha, I cosplay Sailor Mercury. And when I’m in costume I shave my legs, but otherwise I usually just let it grow–I don’t care enough to go through the hassle of defuzzing.
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. 😛
cosplay is cool but i wouth like to watch rather than being a cosplayer
i think it is hard to shave my legs using wax, so usually use razor by myself…..
I went to a store called Rue21 and they had soo many cute clothes there. 🙂
Im wearing Chanel Pirate nail polish and I stamped some roses on each nail. Love it!
Right now I’m wearing Zoya Hope (a pretty bright purple) on my nails.
Let’s go Sephora!!
Right now I’m wearing a pearlized baby pink with a purple toned glitter top coat on my nails! Merry Christmas! LOVELOVELOVE the blog.
Thank u Karen. I hv Shu Uemura, Bleu Splendor on my hands, however I put the glitter only on the tip.
I recently tried the fairydrops mascara. Love it! Give it a try Karen 🙂
I’m wearing Orly Rage on my nails. Bed, Bath, and Beyond sells mini Orly nail polish bottles for half the price – so I’ve gone crazy and gotten several colors!
I love sephora! Love getting all dolled up for parties!
You’re the blog I trust!! I LOVE getting dolled up like everyday is a special day! I need no reason, just love it!
I dyed my hair red once.

No matter what time of year I always wear this very pale/whitish pink color on my nails. Thank you!
the most outrageous thing i did with my hair would be a toss up between when i had a mohawk/mullet and when i shaved my head. though it may be bold sometimes, i don’t think my makeup is ever really ‘outrageous’, except for halloweens!
Karen – I wanna win! xoxo
Would love to win!! love Sephora
Ever since I graduated and started working, I haven’t worn nail polish on my fingernails because my workplace is so conservative. Which means all senior year I switched nail polish colors every few days to try to get it out of my system =)
My nails are naked right now! I better fix that tomorrow 🙂
I’m wearing Nars Purple Rain with Nubar 2010 over the top. Looks pretty good if I don’t say myself.
It’s getting cold here and my cat’s starting to follow me around like crazy telling me to go take a nap so he can cuddle, LOL…x))
Im wearing OPI The Show Must Go On I just found it today I was so relieved to finally hunt a big bottle down!!!
I want it to snow here, but all we’ve got is a lot of rain….
I am wearing Wet n Wild nail polishs in FuchsiaRama and Hannah Pinktana. I was in a pink and glittery mood. And I have done so many crazy things with my hair is hard to name just one LOl!
Can’t wait to buy benefit hervana blush!!!! It’s so beautiful (‘:
i defuzz every day i go running, which is usually 3 times a week in the winter 🙂

Meow. Plankton.

I love to be a milkmaid LOL.
I entered all of your giveaway, but never ever win. :((((
Wearing clear nail polish on nails now!!
I’m going to try China Glaze crackle metal in Broken Medallion on my nails under plain black matte polish 🙂
No make up on at the moment, i was getting a little bored thinking of ideas for looks i can do but decided to do my nails instead. I thought of a cute dark purple with some glitter flakes on top.
Great giveaway! I love sephora so much! Hope I win!!!!
hey karen! guess what! i got the same turquoise blue necklace you have on in ur hervana review 🙂 awesome right? well i think so atleast 😉 as for defuzzing thats a process for legs i’m using women’s schick quattro. for underarms i’ve been using the emjoi epilator, OUCH!!! but the results are totally worth it 😀
I need a new bag, H&M it is.
Can’t wait until you post NYX “butt” naked palette review….the palette looks very interesting 🙂
I’m wearing “I’m with Brad” from OPI, I love it!
I can’t believe it’s December! It’s still unusually warm in New England.
Thanks for doing these giveaways! Always fun to read some of the comments! By the way I am LOVING the ombre nail art as of late! I need to try it out!
I have China Glaze Flying Dragon on my nails, but it’s flaking off in giant chunks! 🙁
I like getting made up for events, a nice bout of eustress.
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.
I have Orly Nail Defense on my nails right now.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com
One more week until finals week! Yesss! 😀
2 more weeks of school!!
I’m wearing a fantastic deep grape purple on my nails today. Love it!
I have a bad habit of letting my armpit hair grow, so I can wax it. Then something comes up and I need to shave quick. Ughgh! I’m in Detroit though so tank season is short
Got my Naked 2 palette in the mail today and love it just as much as the original!
HECKS TO THE YEAH IM GONNA WIN THIS $50 SEPHORA GIFT CARD!!
I’ve been spending way too much time on Sephora’s site, trying to decide on a new skincare line. Anyone have experience with Ole Henricksen?
Happy holidays! 🙂
I’m wearing Essie Lady like, very pretty pink!
Having a great weekend with the hub. Just got home from seeing Jo Koy. Hilarious Filipino comedian. Tomorrow gonna get my bake on; Snickerdoodles, white chocolate macadamia nut and loaded oatmeal cookies.
it’s really winter!! with snow and everything! looking forward to skating~
I’m wearing a gorgeous nail polish by deborah lipmann that I borrowed from my best friend!
As much as I love Miss Piggy, I think Kermit green eyeshadow is appropriate makeup to see the Muppets movie.
Ooo…I hope you wore some blingbling nails from the OPI Muppets collection! 😀 I had to wear somewhat professional colors on my nails today, so I’m wearing Dior Safari Beige.
I admit I don’t defuzz as often as I should in the colder months. I’m so jealous of my naturally hairless mother…her knees shine because of the hairlessness, plus her skin isn’t dry at all, even without lotion.
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
I shave once a week when my BF is not in town and twice a week when he is 😉
Your blog is so cool! I would love to win that card!
xoxo
The most outrageous thing I’ve ever done with makeup is this illamasqua inspired look:
http://mybeautyinbloom.blogspot.com/2011/10/inspired-makeup-illamasqua.html
Of course I didn’t leave the house with it on… 🙂
I’m a big fan of buffing my nails (that sounds so naughty, doesn’t it?), I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve put polish on them. My toes, on the other hand (or foot, I suppose), are a lovely shade of glittery dark blue.
Dang girl ! You really took it back to the old school with The Gremlins. Awww, brings back memories from my childhood. My cousin used to have the Gizmo doll but would never let me play with it. That turkey! LOL Anywho, take it easy on those 80’s movies chick.. Next thing you know you’ll be posting hair references to the “Critters” movie. Damn I’m getting old. hehe =P
Hmm…the most outrageous thing I’ve done to my hair is probably cut it short above my shoulders. The best haircut ever but couldn’t find my hairstylist after 🙁 Never can get a a good haircut like that again.
I use Gilette’s Venus razor to shave (the green & blue one). Thanks for the giveaway!
Wearing OPI Bubble Bath–so soft and pinky.
Amazing giveaway 🙂
I am so happy you started reviewing lush products! I just got turned on to them and I LOVE them!!
woohoo love your blog!! thanks for this giveaway!
Hi T-Money & K-Dawg! 🙂 On my nails right now I have China Glaze “Sex on the Beach” under a coat of China Glaze “Platinum Pieces” (silver metallic crackle).
Chillin’ with Lush’s Volcano foot mask on my tootsies, at the moment, when I should be cleaning my room.
Procrastination at its finest. 😉
I’m working 7 days a week right up to Christmas — and what with an hour commute on either side of a 10 hour day have no time to defuzz, flat-iron, or do my face!!! My best Christmas present this year would be a whole day without work so I could perform some much-needed personal maintenance, lol.
Happy holidays to all!
Id’ love to try the new NYX Xtreme lip creme !
wearing nude polish with silver glitter on the sides 🙂

Thank you for this giveaway. A giftcard can definitely come in handy, especially during Christmas!
I would love to win
I had such fun at Sephora yesterday. I picked up the store brand liquid liner in Black, and the UD Electric pencil set. Best part, I had the $20 off $50 email, so everything together was cheaper than the set of pencils. Woohoo!! I also got hooked up with lots of samples 🙂
i’m currently wearing OPI’s it’s my year from the miss universe collection. (:
i only have to shave my legs maybe 3 times a year! i don’t have much body hair, it’s all on top of my head!
I have to clean the house today, YUCK!! Thanks for the giveaway and the temporary distraction of checking my e-mails and reading your blog! :)))
Happy holidays to Karen, El Hubs, and Tabs!

Ohhhhh! I love the Raider Nation nails you recently did!,!,
I’m sitting here on the computer while all three of my animals try to cuddle on my lap.
Oh how ide LOVE to be able to afford anything from Sephora. In this economy, 50$ is a whole lot… to me anyways. I love makeup. I really want to work in the fashion industry but it just seems so impossible. well, good luck everyone.
i love those raider nails you did!!
I’m actually wearing no polish on my hand’s nail, but on my feet’s nail I have some neon pink!! 🙂
Cosplay can be pretty fun!
i want, or need, a massage 🙁
My two cats have a 6 foot tall cat tower and my boyfriend is the only one that can walk up to it and look them in the eyes, ergo he pesters them constantly…and they adore him for it.
bring on xmas!
No polish on, my nail polish has been very neglected recently.
This would be the most perfect way to celebrate the end of finals this coming week!!
During the winter I don’t shave my legs as often as a should. It’s pretty sad when my 4 yr. old son comes and hugs me around my legs and says ” Mommy you are so spiky.”
It snowed here in Minnesota yesterday! 🙂 So to celebrate, I’m going and getting a mani and pedi today!
I’m currently wearing OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight.
I haven’t put on nail polish for a week now but today I am going to try my new NARS nail polish
I got made up just last night to go out to dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I love the Christmas parties this time of year too – I get to be all glam and have an excuse. lol
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.
*shudder*

fab giveaway! 🙂 i’m about to paint my nails the new blue Zoya color I got from Birchbox…can’t remember the name…
oooh nails. lets see i’m wearing Essie Power Clutch, tho its time for a change and I’m thinking of either Essie Jazz, or Zoya Jana …
I love getting made up! Even if its just for the mall. It’s an opportunity to play with different products and I am a firm believer that if you look good, you feel good.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m currently testing out my Christmas Day nail look. It’s nice and glittery and…eye catching!
http://purplebananasandfudgeballs.blogspot.com/2011/12/midas-touch.html
I just painted me toes with OPI’s What’s With the Cattitude? and put snowlakes on the big toes with a bit of siver glitter in the middle!
I would love to do cosplay, I love costumes. I just don’t have that much time!
I’ve been using the Walgreens brand 5 blade razor for women, and I LOVE IT. I get a really good shave, and the refill cartridges are super cheap. I tried the EOS shave cream, and I love it.
this will complete my Christmas wish list weee 🙂
Trying to get into waxing at home and haven’t found one I like yet… oh venus razor we are still stuck together.
I recently got acrylic nails and although I know they are not good for my nails i love them!
The craziest thing I’ve ever done with my makeup was trying to recreate 80s glam last Saturday at our 80s party! I went for bring colors and over extension of shadow past my eyes and really pink lips and cheeks! It was so fun! =) That night I applied and fell in love with Ardell lashes #113. Check them out too Karen and followers!
I have a few friends who cosplay, and while I don’t think I’d ever do it myself it sure does sound like fun!
Right now I’m wearing Orly’s Luxe on my nails which is just gold lame, and it’s so festive and shiny. I can’t stop looking at my fingers!
Right now the only thing on my nails are the remnants from gel nails that I couldn’t get off with acetone. They’re irritating me that I can’t get it off!
retweeted!

My favourite christmas drink is hands down the gingerbread latte from Starbucks! I have yet to try the eggnog though.
I’ve been too busy shopping and decorating for Christmas to paint my nails! I hope I can get that done tonight, they are in a terrible state!
I’ve got a classic cherry red from Essie on my nails right now. It feels both classic and festive at the same time.
I’m doing a month of epically festive nails – I’ve got China Glaze Poinsettia on with a coat of China Glaze White Cap on top. Would’ve worked a little better if White Cap didn’t have a sliiiight green flash – I might try this again with a green creme base!
i love the holidays and sephora
Do not shave (except for big swim meets), since I have very thin, sparse hairs on my arms and legs. It isn’t even worth it since they aren’t noticeable at all….Asian legs ftw 😀
@Jess — same here! Love having barely there Asian leg hair! I shave maybe once every 6 weeks (if I remember!).
Love your blog! 🙂
I just redid my nails last night…they were way overdue. I’m currently wearing one of my faves, OPI’s Under My Trench Coat.
I want to post my first makeup tutorial… 😛 very excited! Thanks for inspiring me as well!
Right now I’m wearing on my nails China Glaze “Midnight Kiss” from their holiday collection last year. I wanted the shiny gold for my holiday party last night! Might have to add some purple sparkles on top to make it an LSU mani! I’ll prob use the technique you’ve been posting!
Momma needs some new lipgloss!
I NEED the new UD Nude palettte in my life…right now!
I just need to look alive… 😛
I just got an amazing new foundation faker from Benefit from Sephora, and I’m in love!
I am in a foul mood and I hate it.
Just had an amazing weekend raising money for Penn State THON – helping kids fight cancer. FTK!
I have some of those nail sticker things? Red and black plaid! Honestly they’re not very noticeable on my short nails … 🙁
Thanks for the giveaway!
Did you know that Brett from Flight of the Concords wrote the music for the Muppets Movie?
I just turned 18, and my very first goal was to enter into one of your giveaways! I’m finally old enough for them 😀
My nails are all tore up right now. When I get stressed out, I tend to pick at them (gross I know, grad school is rough). On my toes, however, is a lovely shade of dark blue from Zoya. Love their nail polish, it doesn’t chip for anything!
I need this!
I was saving up to get the Naked Palette but now I don’t know if I should get Naked 1 or 2. They’re both so pretty!
Puttin’ up the Christmas tree today!
I love Sephora!
Had a wonderful time this weekend with family and friends celebrating my birthday 🙂
I’m wearing Zoya Jem on my nails!
I always spend way too much at the holidays…probably because they really take it out of me and I need a lot of pick-me-ups!
nothing on my nails… trying to pick between chanel pirate and black pearl!
OPI’s Bare to Be Different is my staple nail colour.
I just picked up some of the new China Glaze glitters- stoked!
I love the idea of manicures that match you’re favorite team’s colors. Your Raiders inspired nails are gorgeous!!
Cosplay – To each his own!
The flu sucks. Blech.
So many great presents could be purchased with the help of that gc!
HI! 🙂
Hope you’re enjoying the holiday season! Loving the Christmas music on the radio!
I’m obsessed with pairing Essie’s Mint Candy Apple and Shine of the Times together…..so gorg
It is ridiculously cold! Though I love the Christmas season and how happy everyone is, the one thing that gets me is the weather! I’m definitely a summer baby at heart. I love your blog! Thanks for all your advice 🙂
I have 7 different nail polish colors on my nails right now…it’s ridiculous but at least it helped me narrow down the most flattering colors for my skintone 🙂
Had a great day with my husband and son. 🙂
I’m wearing Zoya’s Holly on my nails and love it!
I am wearing OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air on my nails. I’ve never done anything too crazy with my hair or makeup, unless you count dressing up for Halloween. The most outrageous thing I’ve done would be smoky eyes or a little glitter.
Thanks for the giveaway Karen! =]
Shelly recently posted … Orange Hollister Flowy Tank
Thank you for the giveaway! :), One of the most daring thing i ever done with make up is, I had run out of eyeshadow primer, there was this revlon cream eyeshadow palette I had hidden away cause I cold never find a use for it until I wonder maybe it can help make my eyeshadow stay better since it was creamy and a little bit sticky, so I gave it a go then voila it did help my shadows last a little longer but not as great as actual primers. haha!
I absolutely MUST shave my legs every day…even in winter!
First of I hate shaving, and waxing. Why do us woman have endured all the pain lol! I like to use hubby’s razors for a clean, smooth shave. Men’s razor work best, even though he gets mad when I sneak in & steal he’s razors 🙂
I don’t think I’m going to come through finals unscathed. I can feel a mental breakdown coming on.
What a great blog. I’m a makeup junkie too. I’m so happy I stumbled on this site if not for the simple topic alone of truckstop baths. I always called them hippie baths. 🙂
meow:)
I never do these anymore. What the heck. 🙂
Amber recently posted … An inordinate fondness for beetles
I don’t apply polish on my nails, but all those reviews of polish and what you can do with them is tempting me so….
How is it Sunday night already? Yeesh!

The Muppets was a great movie, I hope you enjoy it.
Finals time is hitting me hard! I’ve been cooped up in my room all weekend working on stuff. :/
I havent painted my nails in forever. I gave up when I had my first kiddo, my nails would be perfect for all of ten seconds then it was time to change a poopy diaper Lol Am long past the diaper phase and might try again 🙂 Thanks for the sweet giveaway!

I’m wearing Essie’s Mink Muffs 🙂 The perfect brown for this time of year.
I have no strong opinion of cosplay. Although sometimes I admire the costumes that are pulled off well. Thanks for the giveaway, K-Dawg! 🙂
I love Sephora
It finally looks like a winter wonderland where I live. I can’t wait to get out and snowboard!
I’m getting ready to watch Once Upon a Time!!!! Yesssss!!!!
Been listening to Christmas carols all day and getting in the holiday spirit! 🙂
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.
T-Money and K-Dawg, THIS is the random comment you should select! W0000t!
I’m currently wearing Illuminate, on of OPI’s Dedifner Series colors on my nails. It is such a great color, holographic and kind of duo chrome too.
I just painted my nails a color called Chili by Revlon and I love it!! Done with my dark fall hues for a bit and going for a bright orange-red!!
Craziest thing I’ve ever done with makeup is to go out in public with no makeup on – that’s an OMG thing for me.
I really, really need to paint my nails!!! LOL
Finally holiday decorating!
Studying for finals tomorrow (rather today) and jamming to the Michael Buble Christmas cd!
Oh don’t even get me started on weird har-dos. I had to do some modeling when I was younger and as such I’ve had bee-hives, 20 foot-long braids (fake of course), and various children’s toys in my put in my hair. And as for shaving, the longer I can get away with missing a day, the better. 😉
My nails are bare…once it gets cold and I can’t wear sandals… it takes forever between manicures unless there is a specific event i am preparing for.
im wearing revlons quick dry nail polish. i dont know the name but its a classic red. pretty
I’m sleepy, too… And the bad weather makes me even sleepier!
I’m going to save the day by buying lots of make-up… eheheh.
I’m currently wearing Zoya’s Sabrina on my nails; it’s my go-to neutral nude-y pink, really flattering and lasts for-evah! 🙂
Happy Holidays!
XO
