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

Good morning, young lady, and happy Saturday to ya. It’s Super Bowl weekend, which for me means veggie hot dogs (they’re surprisingly good), chips and dip, YUM!

Do you plan to watch the big game tomorrow? Tabs does. He actually called his bookie this morning. I saw him sneak into the bedroom with his phone (he’s kind of sketchy like that).

What are you up to today? I’ll be keeping it low key out here, but I may go for a hike with El Hub after lunch. Right now I’m watching old episodes of The O.C. online (Ben McKenzie!) in my jammies on the couch. 🙂

But before that, it’s that time again…

  1. I would never wear makeup while working out! All that sweat would smudge my face! Although I did know of a girl who never failed to pretty herself up before every work out session as there would be plenty of guys at the gym!

  3. Because my fiance is a Steelers fan, I’ve gotta go with his team to win, even if I’m an Eagles fan.

    I definitely don’t wear makeup when I work out – my face feels all yucky. :/

  6. I’m about to get ready for my weekly yoga class! I just wear a little mascara (I have blond hair; you wouldn’t even see my lashes if I didn’t!) and sometimes (when I’ve stayed out too late on Friday night) a little under eye concealer!
    No preferences for the super bowl… I like to play sports, not watch them!

  20. I hate wearing makeup to the gym although I have if I’ve gone right after work and I feel icky afterwards!! Go Steelers, only because my son wants them to win….a girlie girl who does not follow any sports! 🙂

  23. i have no idea whos playing but i am excited about the obama pre game interview with bill o’rilley for some reason , and curious about the half time show

  24. “Black and Yellow” all the way for the Superbowl. Why? Because the Steelers are my hubby’s favorite team. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch the game because my husband has a silly superstition. The Steelers have won all of their playoff season games over the last few years when I didn’t watch. Sooo….

  42. I’m still holding a grudge against the steelers because their refs give the WORST calls towards the other teams. I’m looking at you Superbowl of Seahawks vs. Steelers. So go Green bay, even if i’m not a big fan of them.

  45. I’ll be lazing at home after continuous college … Watch a coupla pictures … Then go out in the evening … For some retail therapy hopefully …

  48. Still boo-hooing on the inside over the Bears, but since I can’t stand the idea of Green Bay winning the Super Bowl and I love Troy Polamalu, I’m rooting for the Steelers. Uh huh you know what it is…black & yellow black & yellow black & yellow!

    Reply

  51. Steeelers all the way. We live in the Detroit area and havet o decide on someone else to root for. Studying for a Business Law test this weekend. My brain does not seem to want to stretch enough to know all the answers.

  55. Even though I’m a Saints fan, I’m hoping the Packers win! 😀 I cannot stand the Steelers and I usually go for the underdogs of the game, anywho. 🙂 I’ll be watching it, but only for the commercials. XD I’m more excited about the Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and Rango sneek peeks, than anything else!

  85. I’ve never really gotten football. I mean, I watch it a lot cause my friends are into it and keep inviting me to the parties, but I don’t get the obsession. My friends sometimes go nuts, screaming at the tv, ranting, jumping up and down…. I don’t get it. But thanks for the giveaway! I’ll need something to help get me through hours and hours of football, lol!

    I try not to wear makeup when I workout. No point when you sweat.

  98. I don’t do sports, but I get my exercise through dance. Every semester, I take a different dance class – been through jazz, hip-hop, now doing modern! It cheers me up every week 🙂

    Reply

  107. I’d never wear makeup for working out-there are places and event which are not about looking flawless at the moment, and working out is one of them. Not to talk about that it would smudge because I sweat a lot, and I think it would feel heavy on my face while working out, even if it’s just a paperthin coat/layer…

    As for sports, I love playing any kind of ball sports (soccer, volleyball, handball, basketball), but I utterly suck at them, I’m not really athletic, I guess :D. And the sports I love watching are figure skating, rhyhtmic sport gymnastics, gymnastics, synchronized swimming, spring-board diving, soccer, water polo, fencing, athletics and swimming… and occasionally sumo :$.

    Reply

  109. No superbowl for me this year. I was in a car accident on Wednesday, so not only is my car in terrible shape, but it’s also my birthday on Monday. Not much to be excited for here except that I could have been hurt much worse. My weekend will be pretty low key because of it though. Lots of laying around trying to recover…. Yuck…

    Reply

  112. I love Super Bowl Sunday, because promptly afterward, the corner cushion of the sofa where my husband has been parked since August will slowly begin to re-inflate and eventually resume its normal and intended shape. Until the NFL pregames… but I still get about 6 months of reprieve! 🙂

    Reply

  121. I was never a cheerleader, but I was in the color guard in the marching band… I basically twirled a flag, or rifle, or saber. I remember the pre-game ritual of putting on the “show makeup,” which made us look like drag queens (in the BEST kind of way!), but when you looked at the girls on the field from the stands, the makeup looks awesome! haha!

    Reply

  123. SNOW! I can’t believe how fast the show is coming down where I live. I went shopping and it was so not a good idea. I was in a good mood, too, because I was wearing my Slytherin shirt and I did a cute, Slytherin-inspired eye look with Urban Decay Vapor and Green Goddess with a dash of MAC Prance.

  128. My husband is at work again, pulling another double shift and I’m home alone to browse the internet for makeup, clothes and hair ideas. I don’t think he understands that the more he’s gone working the more money I tend to spend because I’m bored!

    Reply

  130. It’s a boring day around here. My husband just left for another double at work and he’s doing the same thing tomorrow so it’s just me and my dog. I don’t have big superbowl plans, I’ll probably just end up watching movies.

  137. I work out in a women’s gym and I still wear a bit of makeup, which is strange because I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally. I think women primp for other women anyway. Every man I’ve ever dated preferred me without makeup. But, what I wanted to ask was this: when one uses makeup removing towelettes, is one supposed to rinse? I’ve always wondered about this. Thanks for the giveaway!

  141. Thanks for another great giveaway! I would love to win this because I have managed to fall in icy/slushy puddles TWICE. I like winter, but I’d like to have a week or two go by without any snow 🙁

    Reply

  142. I have to clean all day for company coming tomorrow to watch the game. Thanks for having this giveaway and I think I retweeted you.

    Reply

  144. About the makeup in the gym… I guess it depends. I get very pale in winter (pale DOES NOT suit me) and since I stopped indoor tanning, I just stay pale. So I feel like I need at least a little bit if tinted moisturizer (I’m using Kiehls in medium) and concealer on my problem areas. In summer however, when I get pretty dark, I feel that concealer is enough. Darker skin tone makes all the features look different and hides imperfections much better, at least on my face.

  150. I’m not much for sports but always up for the parties that go w/ them:p And since my sister and brother-in-law would kill me if I said otherwise- GO STEELERS!

  154. Just watched “The Other Guys” last night – could Mark Wahlberg be any cuter?! My heart would explode!
    Thanks for the giveaway, Karen. You are so generous!

    Reply

  157. Hey Karen,

    Today and tomorrow is all work and no play for me 🙁 but I will be going for the Packers in spirit. The only time I wear makeup to workout is if I’m going to the gym straight from work. I don’t see the point to wear makeup while working out.

    Reply

  158. I’m not a big football fan, and I’ll be at work Sunday night anyway so I won’t be able to watch the Super Bowl. I’m not so sad about missing the game, but I am sad about missing the parties 🙁

    I’m a huge hockey fan though and I’m super excited for the Caps Penguins game Sunday afternoon. Let’s go Caps! 🙂

    Reply

  160. Working out is one of the only times I don’t wear makeup. I usually have at least a little eye shadow, mascara, and gloss on even if I’m not going anywhere special. However, I can’t stand wearing makeup when I work out. I take it all off first because it just feels gross and heavy when I start to sweat.

    Reply

  161. No football here. I sent the husband off to his sister’s house with the kids for the weekend to watch the superbowl there!

    Reply

  162. I got into a fight with my best friend, and then my boyfriend within 24 hours. It sucks, but there is nothing better than eating it off with a king-sized chocolate bar. =D

    Reply

  164. I didn’t even know tomorrow was the Super Bowl! Of course, it’s only exciting to me because that means it’s also the Puppy Bowl.

    Reply

  167. I’m not a football fan at all, but my brother is a lifelong Steelers fan (certainly not a fair-weather fan), so I’ll root for them. He was born in Pennsylvania, so it makes sense (but we lived in Wisconsin for a time, so it really could go either way!)

    Reply

  168. When I work out, I always just make sure my super light brows are filled in (so I don’t end up looking like a big pink featureless mess when I sweat) and coated with brow gel so it will be sweat-resistant =)

    Thanks for this giveaway!

  177. I’m originally from Pittsburgh, so I hope the Steelers win! Even though I probably won’t be watching the actual game — it’s the thought that counts, right?

  189. Hoping the Packers win because I’m so tired of the Steelers because Aaron Rodgers was a CAL guy and I’m super loyal to my boys there.

  192. Lucky girl, I’d love to go for a hike today. But I live in CT, so to hike right now I would need some snowshoes, as we still have like 15 inches of snow on the ground.
    I do wear make-up when I’m working out, unless I’m just doing some cardio video at home like I did this morning.

  210. Go Green Bay….I can pull off green and gold makeup a whole lot better than I can black and gold (wouldn’t want to look like a bumble bee)…LOL As for working out….I always moisturize and wear sunscreen and lip balm, but that’s it ….no make up for me….could never understand a fully made up face, not to mention a heavily perfumed person, working out….just doesn’t seem right….I would think that all that makeup could hinder the process of detoxification which is what perspiration is…and heavy perfume, affects my breathing…..

    Reply

  211. We don’t even want to talk about the love I have for veggie dogs. I only like Smart Dogs, though (Tofu Pups didn’t do it for me) That will likely be what I’m eating for game day tomorrow. And by game, I obviously mean the Puppy Bowl. I’m not allowed in the other room with the people watching football because apparently I ask stupid questions like, “Why are they running in that direction?” and “Are all those lines really painted on the field? They look like they keep moving. How do that do that?!?”

  213. Hey T-Money and K-Dubs,
    Superbowl is the only time I will submit to watching football! LOL. Mostly because of the endless Doritos bowl. I just read another comment about Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet and that sounds vastly more entertaining…I’m totally doing that! 🙂

  219. Tomorrow, I will be a Steelers fan because the Bears aren’t playing and I despise the Packers (I’m a Bears fan and an occasional sore loser;p). I will likely not be wearing black and yellow clothing since I have to wear black everyday at work so I try to avoid black on off days. However, I will rock my golden yellow matte shadow on the lid, sparkly black in the crease & outer v, major lashes and nude gloss. GO STEELERS!

  243. I am rooting for the Packers (in my mind, I don’t care enough to watch! lol) because Ben Roethlisberger is from my hometown and the whole town jumped on that bandwagon. This is my method of rebellion haha. Plus, I am first and foremost an Ohioan and we hate the Steelers lol.

Anyway, I decided that I was tired of squinting yesterday morning so I walked downstairs and went into the shop, got an appointment and was able to pick out my glasses (super cute Dior frames!) and have my eyes examined within the hour. Turns out my old prescription was too strong and my astigmatism was gone! Yay for my eyes getting BETTER and not worse! LOL. Got a phone call this morning that they were ready so I threw on some Stila Lip Glaze, a bit of NARS blush and a fresh coat of mascara and got my new specs!

  309. Can’t wait for my next sephora trip – the bf is gonna get me MUFE shadow #99 (intense red) instead of flowers for our anniversary.

Off to check out sephora.com…..

As for whether or not I wear makeup to the gym — it depends on whether I was wearing it beforehand, and also whether it’s a cardio day or not. I would more than likely take off my makeup on a cardio day, just because I don’t like clogged pores!

  414. I LOVE gift cards especially when they’re from my FAVORITE store, the favorite store of any make up junkie, that being SEPHORA. What I love about gift cards is that we get to choose whatever we want, whatever tickles our fancy at that moment. Although I’ve never met a prize in one of your contests that I didn’t like, it’s always nice to have freedom of choice. If I actually won the Gift card, what would I buy? That’s a toughie. I’ve had my eys on the new Dior Irridescent Gray5 color palette. While not normally into those colors, they are magnifique and I believe they would look fabulous on anyone. I love the 3 new Shiseido palettes for Spring and who could resist the new spring lip pencil gloss collection from Nars. So many things to choose from that it might actually take me a weekend to finally decide on something. And you KNOW that whatever I get, aside from the $50 gift card, I’ll be adding about another $100 from my pocket for other items that I would simply die if I had to do without. Oh, the turmoil of the life of a make up junkie. But thank you for another terrific giveaway. Win or lose, most often the later, it’s always fun to enter one of your contests with the possibility of winning. That’s just about the only thing that wil cheer me up on yet another rainy, snowy day in the life of a New Yorker!. I also entered on Twitter and as always, I never know if I retweeted properly. As such, I retweeted 2 different ways. Please let me know which one is correct so I can finally get it right from now on and please make sure to only count my twitter entry as one, not 2.I’m not trying to get a heads up on anyone but I don’t want to be disqualified for retweeting improperly. My twitter address is @DianeLori

    I hope you enjoy superbowl sunday and that whoever you are routing for wins.
    Thanks again for all the hard work that you obviously put into your blog and for picking out special prizes that you know your fans will love. We love you for it.
    Good luck to all.

  418. I’m not into sports at all and never really have been. The only games I really like are table top RPGs, like Dungeons & Dragons, & video games. I’m a real geek girl.

  427. I deeply thank your guest writer who advised that we should keep the packet of makeup remover wipes with the top down, to keep the top layer moist and ready to use. Strangely, this was the most useful and utterly life-changing thing I have learned from reading blogs 🙂

  438. I’ll probably watch the Superbowl but I’m more excited about the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet before the game. Cutest thing EVER! (Stars of the puppy bowl halftime show are cats. Something for everyone!)

  463. I really don’t care much about sports but I do wear some makeup to the gym. The least I wear is waterproof mascara, sometimes even eyeliner.

  471. My NARS Orgasm lipgloss smells disgusting. I don’t know if it’s a defective one (because the one in sephora smells the same) 🙁

  473. I don’t follow sports at all. Honestly, I didn’t even know the Superbowl was this weekend until now. Still don’t know who’s playing, and I don’t care, haha. It would be a good excuse to eat pizza and drink beer, though.

  476. I’m not much for the superbowl…but anyways I just bought UD’s afterglow cheek tint in quickie and I’m in love with it!

  477. I wish I got even 30% excited about the Superbowl as I do about Sephora, but I do look forward to the chicken wings and nachos!

  479. Junky that I have to work tomorrow and they’re not gonna show the game at work. I predict its gonna be a very slow day at work.

  481. I’m not terribly excited about the Superbowl, but I’m always excited about the prospect of a Sephora giftcard :). Thanks for a great giveaway!

  484. I like wearing a little makeup when I work out, just because I feel better when I feel like I look pretty and not like a hot mess! I keep it simple though with a little bit of lip and cheek stain and a light coat of translucent powder!

    Reply

  489. No makeup for me when I work out, just because I’m usually sweating like crazy – although occasionally, I might have some minor eyeshadow and blush on from earlier in the day.

  492. I don’t like football, but my boyfriend and brother are super into it……… I will probably spend the day pampering myself somehow :o)

  503. I live in Arlington, Texas and don’t really understand what all the hype about the superbowl is =/. The Cowboy’s aren’t even playing (not like I liked them anyways…)!

  504. i dont wear makeup while im working out. sweat on my face makes me cringe so sweat AND makeup could probably give me a heart attack.

    Reply

  506. If I would win this card I would buy a new perfume because I met a new boyfriend so I want a new fragrance for this new start!!

    Reply

  507. I used to have my yoga class straight after work and so would go for it with a full face of make up on.. but I started breaking out.. so I changed up my routine and make sure to wash my face before the class and use a mattifying moisturizer instead.. and Voila! perfect skin! 🙂

    Reply

  508. I adore your site! I’m always on it.. but I predict the Steelers will win tomorrow! and I would never workout with makeup on.. except maybe a little mascara.. but anything else is just asking for a break out! haha keep up the good work! <3

  517. The only thing that excites me about the Superbowl is the food that I will be eating…hahah.. wings, nachos, pizza.. =D Also, Adam Brody (Seth on O.C) is way hotter than Ben 😛 Good luck everyone!

  519. Hm, something random… WELL I got great news two days ago, as I was selected as a finalist for USC’s Trustee Scholarship which pays four years undergraduate full tuition! It’s all I’ve been thinking about these days, so naturally I feel the need to tell the whole world 🙂

    Also… I love makeup so much that it kinda hurts. Especially my bank account.

    Reply

  523. I leave my makeup on when I work out but as soon as I get home, I jump into the shower with a nice bodywash and remove all the makeup. Very refreshing!

  534. I think this is the first time I’ll be going to a Boopersole, I mean Superbowl, party, evar. It’s with a bunch of theatre dorks (i.e. my coworkers), so I should survive it 😀

  536. Happy Sunday! I’ll be spending my Superbowl Sunday braving the Ohio snow and getting back to college in Indiana.

  542. I will be watching the Super Bowl because I love football. I would love to win this gift card so that I can buy my favorite and the best foundation in the world, Nars Sheerglow in Stromboli.

  547. My wedding is in two weeks, and I’m totally thrilled! I’ve already done a run through with my hair/ makeup artist, and she’s going to airbrushing my makeup. I’ve never had this done before, but the results make my skin look flawless.

  549. I don’t understand why my reading week comes after my midterm exams. So now….I must shop away my stress on etsy and sephora!

    Today My dad and I are going to build a raised garden box in my backyard so I can grow some yummy veggies for my son and I!!!

  556. I’m always torn when the Steelers make the Super Bowl. I’m a Giants fan, but I lived in Pittsburgh for three years in grad school, and I have a soft spot in my heart for all things Steel City. Still, it would be nice to see someone else win… Mostly, I’m just hoping for a good game and good grub at Buffalo Wild Wings!

    Reply

  559. Not a big fan of football unless it’s the Patriots so I won’t be really watching the Superbowl this evening. I do plan on doing some online shopping with Sephora because of they’re free shipping on $25 or more purchase!

    Reply

  564. I don’t workout, but I am trying to find a good foundation routine that will hold up if I am going to be outside all day. For the summer I want to be able to look flawless as well as my “face” not sweating off! I think I almost have the combo I need!!! 🙂

  568. I can’t stand to wear makeup when I work out. I usually go balls to the wall and sweat up a storm… It’s better to have a sweaty bare face when you run into someone cute at the gym than to have a “makeup melting” face.
