This is so awesome that I just had to share. 🙂 After I left the office last night, my supervisor Tabs sent out the following email to everyone in the company. Isn’t it amazing how sometimes all it takes to change your outlook is a little recognition from your boss?

Dear Team:
I couldn’t let the workweek end without personally taking the time to convey my gratitude to each and every one of you for your exemplary efforts this week. You performed admirably, turning in top-notch work under challenging conditions. As to that, I am told by the vendor that the copy machine will be fixed no later than Tuesday, which is excellent news.
Have a fulfilling weekend. I’ll see you all bright and early Monday morning.
Best,
Tabs the Cat
Chief Feline Officer, Makeup and Beauty Blog
The weird thing is we only have two employees (Tabs and I), but that’s neither here nor there. I’ll take all the credit I can get, LOL!
Anywho, did you do anything fun last night? After burgers at The Counter (they make a mean veggie), El Hub and I came back home and watched about a dozen episodes of The Game on TV. Yup, it’s a bold new world with the Tivo working again. 🙂

My boss is nice but a micromanager sometimes!!!!!
never dated anyone from office although this dude had a huge crush on me and he surprised me on valentines day with huge balloon and so many chocolates and everyone in office was literally staring at me weirdly . The gesture was so cute, we never dated but became best friends 🙂

I’m looking to add a new job job right now but people are hiring =/
I’m so excited about this giveaway… It’s been almost a year since I’ve been to Sephora (The temptation is too big and I’m a college student with no funds). Hopefully I’ll win this time!
I love Sephora! 😀
Raisa recently posted … Free Shipping This Weekend For Sephora
I wear a lot of smokey eye,pretty much everywhere
I got the Artist’s Inspiration palette from Stila and I’m loving it. Kitten on the lid with Go Lightly in the outer corner/crease & bottom lash line is starting to be my quick & easy, makes my eyes look amazing look. I think it would a pretty work friendly look, as long as you like the extra shimmer.
I tend to stick to neutral browns and greys to work
Hmmm Never dated a coworker, but there’s one currently that I wouldn’t mind dating. I normally don’t date guys with kids, but he’s a looker. lol About wearing make up to to work, I don’t wear it. I am a plain Jane at work, lipgloss and that’s it.
My baby (14 yo Cocker spaniel) is sick and I am totally heart broken. Hope she gets better soon!
Have a lovely weekend Karen!
I wish Tabs was my boss!
I love my ex-bosses- both of them. They both co-own (Along with another, but he has his own business too) a game shop which I worked part-time at during my break in 2008, and they are the most amazing people ever. They’re young- 4 years older than me, and are ambitious, and they take care of their workers (There was me, a colleague and my boyfriend who was also my colleague at that time) very well 🙂 We have weekly meetings directly with them to air any grievances or problems (As well as scheduling work times) and they teach us hands-on about anything we need to know and assist us in any way we can.
Once I had no transport back because of the time, and one of my bosses offered to send me home. He also bought me dinner to-go when he went out for his dinner break and I had to take care of the shop 😀 Aaah, good times.
I dated someone at work for nearly three years… he gave up a promotion because we were dating. we’re not together anymore, and I don’t regret it at all, but I wouldn’t date anyone else from work again!
Love Love Love Sephora!
Definitely subtle make up for the office!
Hi Karen! I RT’d!
Last night, el hubz and I went to the Exchange bar and grill to grab a bite to eat, then settled in and watched Despicable Me, which by the way is hilar. Loved it!
I once had a creepy guy I work with text-stalking me… then I found out he did it to several other gals we worked with too! He was married to another co-worker at the time – but she was having an affair with a different guy that also worked with us! EWWWW! people are so crazy!
So glad its finally the weekend!
I almost dated someone from work and boy am I glad I didn’t! He ended up dating this other girl and cheating on her throughout the whole relationship. It is still so awkward bumping into each other lol.
My fiancée and I are moving in together!
I do neutral colors to work and use it to practice bronzers and highlighting since really no one sees me if I do it wrong I only look like a dork to a few people lol
i don’t usually wear makeup when I work because I work from home! Sometimes if I need a little boost I’ll put some on.
I wear neutral makeup to school. How does everyone pack makeup/beauty supplies for the gym?
Glory Glory Man United!!!
My baby has been kicking like crazy all morning… I’m now officially in my 3rd trimester! 🙂 Hoping to celebrate with some shopping this weekend :).
I bought the Thomas Roth Acne Spot Treatment from Sephora and it left scars everywhere I used it. My face looks so horrible that I had to stay at home from work today. If I wasn’t at home, I’d be at work reading your blog posts and entering from there!
I love sephora!
I just stick with neutrals for everyday makeup.
I’m so glad Tabs hasn’t instigated any downsizing at MBB Inc….we need you, Karen!
OMG I love the Game, but not loving the new season on BET. The characters have all changed, and the hair – don’t even get me started!.
I love Chipotle! 🙂 <3 And I wear minimal makeup to work.
We all <3 Tabs 🙂
How do you keep doing these giveaways Karen?? Either way I don’t mind ;P
I really wear minimum makeup to work, just full coverage with foundaton + concealer than some skinfinish on top with eyeliner and mascara, no eyeshadow which was a big step for me =) but love to keep it neutral!
What a thoughtful cat. 🙂

Hey. I bought some oils from The Morbid the Merrier on etsy, fabulous. Cheap and wonderful smelling. 🙂
My very first boss was the best boss I ever had (I can tell after a 30 year carriere) so thank you first boss for showing me that good bosses excist!!
Smokey eyes are my statement eyes. I think the easiest part of my day is simply using my Too Faced eye palete for neutral yet captivating eyes- especially when I need to ask a favor from one of my professors! 🙂
Grrrr… the boyfriend needs to wake up. I need coffee, but I can’t use the grinder thing until he wakes up; the thing sounds like a freaking chainsaw.
great giveaway again!
I have a tabby cat with a big ol’ booty too! 🙂
I want to be the winner ;D
I’m in my office, with the door shut, and my car is putting her paws under the door, claws out, trying to pull me under. It’s terrifying!

I just found out my local JcPenney had a Sephora inside it! I was so excited because now I can just go pick up whatever I want instead of having to wait to get a lump sum of cash to place an order with Sephora.com. WOO HOO! And they have like 6 or 7 units of Nars Blush in “Oasis” still left (it’s a discontinued color and is only in stock until they are done selling off the stragglers! STOKED!)
I love my boss! She is cool and so on top of her game!
There’s nothing like a boss you can learn so much from!
I went shopping today 🙂 🙂 Buhahahha
I have to study all weekend 🙁 winning this would be really great 🙂
p.s. Tabs is too freaking cute! hahaha
Yeah for the weekend! Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
I must say, that cat certainly has better spelling skills than my dog. 🙂
Tabs rocks!
Wow, Tabs is so thoughtful!
I’m my own boss right now (aside from my editor), and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been! This free-lancing business is kind of awesome.
I wear sort of “strategic makeup” for work and school generally, where I conceal and enhance but don’t go too crazy. Oddly I take the most makeup risks for errands, like trying on new lipstick that I’m not sure about when going to the grocery store or post office. I guess because they are shorter trips so I can see how the makeup wears without worrying too much.
Here’s a little comment about anything at all. 🙂
The Counter is one of the things I miss most about California! I live on the east coast now and really like it, but no one makes a custom burger like The Counter…
I wear neutral eye makeup to work with a bright lip, mostly fuchsia!
Inter-office romances tend to be bad ideas.
For some weird reason, my teachers have been enjoying giving us homework for valentines day.. 🙁
I dated two guys I worked with (at different times. I am a well behaved girl!). The first guy didn’t work out for me, but the second has been my boyfriend for two years, and we now live together!
Chris25 recently posted … The Goldmine- Urban Decay Baked
This year marks the ten year anniversary for my boyfriend and myself. He was also my boss for the first two years we were togeather. Scandalous!
I think we just got The Counter, but we haven’t tried it yet because it’s hard to say no to our current favorite burger joint!
Happy Saturday!

Loved reading Tabs’ letter. He’s a fabulous boss 😉
Haha, love the email from Tabs!
I am actually an Irish Dance teacher! So I work with three other people, one of whom is my “boss”, but she never bosses me around. She lets me carry on with my teaching as I see fit, so that’s great.
Being that I don’t work in an office, I can basically wear whatever make-up I want to work! We do wear some crazy make-up to work, but sometimes it’s a pain because the kids say “Why do you have green stuff on your eyes?”
Erin recently posted … Another Fashion Week Win!
I just correct my skin, apply some blush, lipstick and lash mascara to work. Very simple, but it makes all the difference!
Happy weekend!
I have 3 midterms next week, can’t wait until they are over!
I’m sure Tabs is an excellent boss. My cat Miniature sure is 🙂
it’s a lovely saturday!!
House Of Photo Props recently posted … Pink and Green Shabby Chic Photo Prop Infant Sling Blanket Three in One
I rarely wear makeup to work, I generally don’t like to spend the time on doing makeup unless i’m having fun, and everyday neutrals aren’t fun. (but I work in IT, where looking good is not expected! 😛 )
Nothing like lounging in bed on a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee!
I will be spending this lovely weekend at the library working on the six assignments that I have due next week 🙁
I love Tabs 🙂 He looks a lot like my kitty and has the same sass!
Karen, these giveaways are getting out of control! 🙂 I found a great budget option this week for those looking for a quick, office-appropriate look. It’s Wet n’ Wild’s e/s trio called Sweet as Candy. It’s got a shimmering white/ivory for the browbone, a soft pink for the lid, and a medium brown for the crease. The shimmer isn’t too over the top, and the colors are subtle but very nice. And WNW was half off at Meijer, so I got it for under $2! Woo hoo!
I am excited for Spring and I hope it gets here soon!
Heehee cute letter 😀 So yesterday I got 2 new Revlon lipsticks (Cherries in the Snow & Love That Pink) – I couldn’t help myself, the colors just looked sooo pretty… Can’t wait to apply one or the other later (after my workout!)
Have a lovely weekend 😀
Tabs runs a tight ship! Love it.
I’ve got too much homework to finish this weekend but tomorrow is a pre-Valentines dinner with the boyfriend!
Lol, love that email XD
I wear just very natural make-up: eyebrowpencil, foundation and mascara, and sometimes eyeliner.

I think its cool how you do these giveaways all the time!!! Especially because I know you dont have to, but you do anyway! hopefully I win one someday 🙂
Lol I love reading about Tabs… He’s so fun & very thoughtful 🙂 I think we should all celebrate his awesome-ness by making it a point to 1- eat something with gravy in it 2- listen to Chaka Khan 🙂 and 3- pimp very hard!!!! lol 🙂 Happy Weekend!!
I am so loving the UD Feminine Palette; trying to decide whether to give in to nail polish lust or makeup lust, lol.
Spring is my favorite season, and it has come early with the freakishly warm January and February weather. I hate winter, but for some reason I’m kind of upset about not having a real winter this year. I bought a beautiful winter coat and haven’t really gotten much use out of it yet.
I only had one boss. She was a sweet woman, but I bought her chocolate for Christmas and she never gave me anything in return 🙁
Thanks for this awesome giveaway
I am having a girls weekend this weekend!
(:

Hi Karen, loved your latest reviews of the UD palettes!
I once wore a homemade Rubik’s Cube costume to work on Halloween. Got lots of compliments.
Patty recently posted … Hard Candy Sky Review- Photos- Konad Design
I wear mostly neutrals all the time but would love to venture into wearing more color. I’m just having a hard time making it all work for me.
I need to work out !
Nothing makes me happier than wearing glitter nail polish and seeing it sparkle as I type away!
Lunch, nap, labs. What an exciting afternoon!
I am excited because today my boyfriend and I are going to a historical island town to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 🙂
i wear very neutral, natural (haha) looking makeup to work.
this is my tweet!

Go Tabs!
I have three little bosses that run my day and I love them dearly (well most of the time anyway). Have a great weekend!
Well, this week, I ordered Tarte’s TEN palette. Currently, I’m in school, so I wear eyeliner on my bottom and top lashlines, with some shimmery gold eyeshadow on the lids. And of course lots of mascara. I like Clinique’s lash doubling mascara.
Hungry! I have resorted to reading MABB before breakfast, LOL!

Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Reese Witherspoon? I was watching your youtube videos and you sound just like her! Are you filipino? If you are, you are like the filipina version of Reese!
I’m newly addicted to red lipstick 🙂
I love trying different neutral looks for work everyday
I’m a student but I LOVE the TV show the Office! 🙂
I love make up, i do it everyday, no matter how much i am sleepy or late for school. i always use eyeshadows and mascaras are the most important make up thing for me
I usually wear neutral looks to work (shimmery or matte). Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I love a bright berry lip during the day – everything else had to be really simple of course, but it just makes me feel great.
I’m spending V-day drinking with some girlfriends. Really looking forward to it. 🙂
I’m craving waffles.
My husband took the kids out to a movie today…aaaah, solitude!
I looove sephora!!
I’ll just admit it, I just ate trix cereal.
Work affairs are always so exciting, scandalous, about gossip heavy. I’ve learned its always best to step away from that temptation and in the end, its more likely not worth all the possible drama. Or else, at least transfer to a different department!
For Valentines Day my boyfriend is taking me to the Wingdome…. I get to eat hot wings and drink beer…. That sounds like the perfect date!!!
Thanks for the opportunity!!! Have a great weekend!!!

Fun giveaway!

T-Money seems like an awesome boss K-Dawg. Make sure you don’t let him down and give him a mid day feast of temptations.
I found found a monster of a temptation that was about 5 or 6 fused together. I still have the scratches from when my cat attacked me for it
I love MAC makeup ! Can’t seem to get enough ! 😀
I need to spend the weekend catching up on Oscar movies…
We’ve had beautiful weather here for the past week and a half but the rain is coming, boooo.
Can’t wait for summer. Neither can the squirrels here. I just caught three of them sunbathing on my patio before commenting here. Soo cute!!
yay kitties! yay sephora gift cards! lolz
Tabs sounded so much like the principal at my school it’s scary! Although, he left out the part about a “rejuvenating” weekend, lol!
I love The Counter!
Tabs = Best. Boss. Ever. 😉
Cheers!
I love my cat.
I just switched from AT&T to Verizon and I’m loving it 🙂
I’m excited. I was so disappointed Thursday because all the mac counters around me either did not recieve Pink Power MSF or recieved one or two and sold out before I could buy it. So I ordered one from Nordstrom.com and it was backordered. I fully expected it would get canceled because Nordstrom does not have the best track record with backordered items. However, I just got an email that it shipped and I will have it Wednesday! Yay! 🙂
My husband just committed the ultimate no-no. He told a relative it was ok to stop by with 5 minutes notice. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled at the condition of our home at the time.

Tabs is awesome and it’s hard to look beautiful with a cold!

Love to Tabs and to Sephora!!! <3
Tabs seems like a tyrant sometimes, but I’m glad he appreciates you 🙂
my favourite boss was at this office i worked at for the summer right after high school – she had two massive boxes of shoes stashed under her desk!
Was I the only one who bust out laughing after reading the Tabs email?! LOL
T.Davis recently posted … MUAs Get Yourself a Piece of This!
I’ve had a horrible week at work, but no nice email at the end. A$ 50 sephora gift card would fix that 🙂
I have never once had a boss that I liked. I really hope that changes in the future!
My BF’s sucks so i hope, i’ll win this gift cards!
I love the new mac to go sets…too bad I don´t travel during the next months!
All my favorite bosses are pixelated
I like to wear neutrals to work, however at times I like to shake things up a bit. I’m an art teacher so I feel like I can get away with pushing the envelope a bit. I never go too extreme, but sometimes I go for bold metallic eye colors or a sassy cat eye. However, when I have a “real” job, I always stick to neutrals, especially for important things.
hahaha good job on the congratulatory email nonetheless

I’m a student, but my “boss” that I work for in the psych lab is lovely : )
Kumquats are bite sized joy.
My boss is my cat, Earl Morrissey. Before I get “serious” with anyone – I have to let them know it’s Mr. Morrisey’s way or the highway. :]
I like the bosses I have now. My company let us go 2 and a half hours early yesterday and is letting us expense $150 for Valentine’s weekend. I’m just an intern. Hopefully I’ll get a job there in the future, they take good care of everyone!
I wear pretty simple makeup to work – just foundation, eyeliner and mascara – sometimes some eyeshadow and/or lipgloss.
I work at a school. No guys to date. 🙂
i’ve only ever worked in an office once and there were only like, 8 of us who worked there. so my dating options were a 70 year old man, a gay man, and a lazy man. needless to say, i’ve never dated someone from the office :p.

Wow, Tabs sure is a nice boss. He can type pretty well, too.
Dating co-workers is a disaster waiting to happen! Hope you have a fabulous V-Day Weekend. Give Tabs an extra kiss for me 🙂
I wish my boss, Missy, would express some appreciation for all my hard work around here! She does purr at me approvingly from time to time, so I guess that’s something.
I dated a co-worker once, and never again! It fizzled out rather quickly and was super awkward after we split. But, then, he was fired a few months later, so….
I recycled 24 old or empties at MAC yesterday. The girls were snooty as hell, but I have two new lip glasses and two new lipsticks for free.
Here’s to the first sunny day in a great while in Indiana. It managed to hit above freezing today!
So, my new puppy thought it would be a good idea to pee on my make up bag. Needless to say, my fault for putting the bag on the floor but I’m in desperate need of some new make-up. oh so bare faced!
Love my sista so much! If I win this is for her!
:]
My boss looks out for the office and stands up to higher-ups for us, especially when they come down with unrealisitc production schedules because they’re so removed from the process. I absolutely lover her. I’ve never dated a co-worker, and I don’t think it’d work out so well for me, as I’m a different person at work and off.
Neutral makeup for work–not daring enough for bold colors!
Haha I love all of the silly Tabs references on here! Our apartment complex doesn’t allow pets but we have a stray kittie that wanders around and everyone feeds him!
Yay! Just in time for Valentines Day!
I tend to use champagne and neutrals everyday for eye makeup. I do love olive greens, though.
I spent last night relaxing, looking forward to a lazy morning, which was squashed when my gerbil critters woke me up by banging their water bottle. *sigh* Glad you had a nice friday night!

I misplaced a sephora gift card last week, so this would be AMAZING
I recently discovered your blog and I puffy heart it!!! You are gorgeous and fabulous! And so is Tabs!!!
my favourite kind of makeup to work: smoky eyes and nude lips 🙂
I just went to Ulta and bought a bunch of new eyeshadow to play with! Love new makeup! 😉
Glad Tabs is so generous with praise! Lemme know if he’s hiring, as I can make a mean cup of coffee.
Watched “Easy A” last night. Cute movie. Love Emma Stone.

I like to change up my makeup on a daily basis… I keep it clean and neutral for work and school of course!!! 😛
Ooh, I had a burger today! It was such a battle to get it, too, because there were no parking spots at the restaurant! The nice weather makes everyone want burgers, I guess.

Tabs is so considerate of is employees. Glad he takes time out to thank you.
In the process of looking for a new job right now, but the industry that I’m in seems to be pretty relaxed about makeup/tattoos/etc. At least I’m hoping that’s the case with my future job.
Tabs is the best!
i know all of my monday poll comments have been about me feeling discouraged about not having a job. it baffles me how it slipped my mind to report an update: I’M EMPLOYED FULL-TIME NOW!!!!

Tabs is such a nice boss!
Yay! love sephora!!
I’m home with two sick kids so it hasn’t been a particularly fun Saturday, but your blog always cheers me up. 🙂
I dated someone I worked with. We kept it a secret for a year while working together, and NO ONE had any idea. Once people found out, they decided not to fire either of us because clearly we could keep work/personal lives seperate. We’ve been dating for 3 years.
i need a new mascara! 🙂
I have never had a boss that I like enough to call my favorite! One day I hope!
Aww, Tabs sounds like he’s a great boss! 🙂
Saw “The Bounty Hunter” last night – awful movie! What is Jennifer Aniston thinking?! I really like her, but she might be the biggest waste of looks and talent in Hollywood right now.
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Even if I’m running late for work- I MUST wear mascara!
My favourite boss was a laissez faire pisces, I moved on but miss him, he was wonderful.
I have to say I always love how fun your pictures are. Always makes me smile. 🙂

HI TABS!
if i dont wear eyeliner to work, my coworkers tell me i look tired. so i keep an UD 24/7 zero pencil in my drawer. sometimes i’m in a rush in the morning!!
I wear pajamas to work. I work from home, heheh
Thanks for the awesome giveaway, K-Dawg! 😀
*crosses fingers* please pick me please pick me please pick me please pick me……….
I work from home, so zero makeup to work. But when I actually leave the house I have so much fun getting dolled up.
I never dated anyone in the office, I got married at 20, hence whem I entered the workforce I was’nt available. And I’ve always worked with ladies a plus too!
I would love to get a Nars multiple!!
Hi Karen and Tabs!!! I am a makeup loving cat lady like yourself, so was very excited to find this blog!
I’m addicted to buying bath stuff on etsy.
I need an intervention!
I love Zoolander 🙂
I love my current boss.
This is turning out to be a rather dull V’s day weekend…I don’t think the bf had any time to plan anything at all, let alone getting me the cliche flowers/chocolates =/ Thanks for this giveaway!
Tabs is a cutie:)
Thanks t-money and k-dawg!
yay giveaway!
Randomness~ I love trying to build sentences with conversation hearts!
I have also retweeted the message <3
Lately, I’ve been wearing the Urban Decay Naked palette for work. Thanks for this opportunity. I would love, love, love to win!

oooo Sephora!~
I wear a neutral face to work and add some
bronzer for that healthy look..
I’ve learned by watching you never date where you work, besides that I work in a call center and females by far outweigh the males.
I work building sets in a theater so I try to keep it simple! Concealer, mascara, and benefit c cream in tattle tale!! 🙂
Tabs the Cat is Number 1!
Good for Tabs…our gray tabby just sleeps all day…
I dated someone from the office once – never again. It imploded so badly that I had to leave the job….lesson learned!!
I love Sephora – time to pick up some new lipsticks for spring!
I dated someone from work for 3 years and nobody knew. When it ended, it wasn’t pretty. I wouldn’t advise anyone to do it.
What would you do without tabs?
I have very flexible hours because I work for my parent’s. My mom is my favorite boss!

I just got home from getting a hot stone massage. Our local girl is just awesome and she’s got my husband and I hooked. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, my husband and I went in this afternoon and got pampered. She even had special rose scented oil for the women, I smell like a bouquet.
Watching shows on DVR today!
I love Sephora! I just bought an eyeshadow from there, the bare escentuals glimpse in flamenco. It’s nice.
Slammed with a midterm paper. Would love to buy me some pretty things at Sephora.
I never win~
I just wear eyeliner to work on my eyes. I work at a hospital and just try to look decent w/o too much makeup on.
My boss is great. She’s weird sometimes and pretty chatty, but I like her. I don’t really have many bosses to compare with though – been working at this place for over 5 years!
im in desperate need of this….gotta buy travel sized products before presidents weekend 🙂
when i don’t wear eyeliner to work my coworkers tell me i look tired. So i keep UD 24/7 eye pencil in zero in my drawer. Sometimes I’m in a rush to get out of the house!
Just picked up my birthday gift from Sephora today.
i always feel so strange wearing a full face to work, so i stick to natural or neutral makeup
I get to spend Valentine’s with the boyfriend this year. we’re long distance and I didn’t get to see him last year. it’s not like it’s a big deal to begin with or anything like that (we are pretty simple) but it is nice that I just get to spend it with him. we’re probably going to go out to eat or just veg at home, haha.

I’ve been witholding myself from buying ANY new eyeshadows in hopes of getting UD’s “NAKED PALETTE In Stock” email soon.
It’s a lot harder than you think…
Appreciative bosses make all the difference….so true 🙂
The best boss I ever had was when I was stationed at Naval Station Panama Canal in the mid-1990’s. The Commanding Officer was Captain Linda Long, and she also happened to be the first female surface warfare officer EVER to make Captain, and if you’d ever met her you would understand why.
First, she was really smart. You never had to explain what was going on more than once because she immediately understood, no matter how technical the issue might be. Sure, it meant you couldn’t BS her, but honestly you didn’t need to.
Second, she knew how to develop her junior officers. She let the leash out enough for you to grow and get better at your job, but never so far out that you felt all alone. She was always available for guidance if you needed it, but she left you alone to get the work done if you didn’t.
Third, she backed up her people when necessary. ALWAYS. If someone had a complaint about one of her subordinates, she backed the subordinate publicly, then if there was an actual problem she would correct it privately. Given the number of ships we serviced and the variety of personalities running those ships, this was an absolute godsend.
Captain Long went on to work at the pentagon in policy, and I’m sure she was as brilliant and fabulous there as she was when she was running NAVSTA Panama. I wish there were more like her.

I took a big ol’ standardized test yesterday, and passed- looks like I’m going to grad school!
i wear my makeup forever #44 to work.
I just painted my nails red for Valentine’s Day weekend! No plans, yet though….
I’ve never dated anyone from the office!
My Hubby just got back from deployment 🙂
I wear a tinted moisturizer, mauve-pink blush, mascara, and a rosy-mauve lip gloss to work. Polished and pretty!
I love tulips. 🙂
Tabs, keep up the great work!!
Spring is almost here!
Count me in! 🙂
I want to win!
I love Sephora!
I love the week end to relax and enjoy myself.
lf only Tabs would hire me! I heard he gives great massages 😉 Can I fill out an application?
Ahh, makeup for work is a tough one for me. I love my makeup, but I am discouraged to wear any since I work at the pharmacy. Usually, I just try to wear as much as I can get away with, but it needs to be subtle enough so my boss doesn’t really notice. I wear MAC tinted moisturizer (which I like more than regular foundation because it looks so natural), concealer, powder, benetint on my cheeks and lips, a light matte eyeshadow, and brown gel liner. And I have to wear an extremely light-scented perfume.
I’m trying to convince myself to do work, but so far all I’ve managed to do is look at all the new makeup that’s coming out!
Woohoo! Another chance to win a great prize! I dated someone that I worked with and ended up marrying them. Ten years later we are still married but we have both moved on from that company!
Also tweeted…@turtlegirl922
I’m my own boss right now and that’s definitely the only way to live. Tabs seems pretty tough-but-fair though. 😉
I love sephora. Haven’t bought anything online from them before so that should be fun!
I don’t wear any makeup today, I’m too tired!
Great prize!
Lancome foundation is GODLY. Just sayin’.
i wear really fun makeup to work bc i work in retail.
the urban decay fun and feminine palettes have been calling my name this week!
Can’t wait for the reviews of your new MAC stuff!
I’d love to be able to buy something at Sephora.
Hi, Tabs!
thanks for the give away
I can’t wait for spring!
Loved seeing the email from Tabs. 😉 My husband and I regularly joke that while we’re at work our dog runs an internet business solely for doggie treat money.
Also loved the sneak peak pic of the Chanel summer palette. Between the updated Estee Lauder spring and the Chanel summer, it’s going to be a banner year for my own color preferences. Have a great weekend, everyone!
No office story here. I want some new lip gloss. Thinking of trying the Buxom line next. Happy Saturday all.
I keep the makeup simple at work. I wait tables and usually have to be up crazy early for the breakfast crowd so time’s an issue. Usually wear just a bit of concealer and waterproof gel liner by Clinique plus my waterproof Voluminous mascara.
LOVE sephora 🙂 just went there today
You’re amazing Tabs! – from my kitty Persephone
Also usually I try to wear neutrals to the office but them some days I just can’t stand it and have to break out some more color usually I go with purples or dark blue to still seem professional.
I need some foundation. I always want to try out something new
i hope i win … im in dire need of some cheering up because of an accident this morning. 🙂
I’ve never dated anyone at work, but that’s because i’m still a student. although… i did have a job as a dog walker, and i was in love with the dogs, does that count?
Hi Tabs!! My mom started Crossfit in January. All I ever hear her say now is “ow!”….”oh, that hurts” and” when did I get so old??”I realized I completely had it with her the other day when she practiced some hand stand up against the family room wall and tried to do a pushup. This is getting out of hand. Her makeup addiction needs to overtake this and become her #1 priority again (after me of course) Your friend, Murphy the Dog.
Some guy creeped on me today, “those shape up shoes are really working…” “thanks my husband bought them for me.”
My makeup today includes a Body Shop eyeshadow I got as a gift in my crease-it’s a pretty silver/lavender and played nicely with Urban Decay Cherry and the pink Sephora eyeshaow I wore with it.
I had a fight with the copy machine once. The copy machine won. 🙁
i like my new boss and my goal is to be a makeup fashionista at work 🙂
Would love to win!
this week i bought the NARS hollywood eye shadow pencil and am IN LOVE. it’s perfect on the inside corner of my eyes and makes me look awake even when i’m dying. thanks for the review of the product!
Should’ve bought ArmaniSilk lipstick in #93 when I had the chance. I didn’t know it was a limited edition!
I luv luv luv your blogs refer to them daily and have learned alot thank you!! Born in Cali Raised in Cali …was sick of Cali (didnt appreciate home) so I moved to Cleveland, OH..omg do I have a greater appreciation of my Golden State…all from Cali it’s ok to travel but there’s truly no place like home esp if its CALIFORNIA!!!!!
I dated someone from work and it was a pretty intense relationship. When we broke up, it was hella awkward.
Aw that fake email is too cute lol
Has anyone else seen the new MUFE false lashes with tiny gingham bows on them? Cause that’s what I’d spend this on
My boyfriend and I celebrated our Valentines last night because he’s leaving for Brazil tomorrow morning. We had couples massages followed by dinner at The Upstairs (a fondue restaurant), a 4 course meal, so much fun! The chocolate fondue was the best part.
The UD Shadow Pencils are full of win! Seriously in love with them. I keep doing fun looks with them.

Welllll… I’m apparently on the road to becoming a perpetual student haha. But when I eventually get out of med school (approximately 6 years from now), I’ll definitely have to restrain myself from buying more crazy nail polish and bright colored makeup 🙁
I have tried to brush off the temptation to color my hair red but then I thought why not go for it, it’s only hair…now I am debating wheather to go all the way (like Christina Hendricks) or be tamer (like say Jayma Mays).
Oh and Tabs is such a caring boss :).
I discovered OPI ink today – late to the party, i know. Love it!
Yay for Saturday! Got my mom some fresh flowers from the farmer’s market for her bday 🙂

I don´t think I will win but here I am hoping again~no affairs at work, ever!
I have a sick husband this weekend. He really is suffering and I better not get it because I am going to NYC next weekend to see some shows. YIKES
The best boss I ever had was my dad, when I worked for him in high school at his software company. He was actually very hard on me, but at the same time, I got way more experience and learned so much since he was constantly around.
After working for your dad, not a lot compares!
I had the awesomest boss when I was working at Shoppers Drug Mart.
We had sword fights with wrapping paper rolls after Christmas, and he pushed me around the store in shopping carts! haha!
I could use this voucher to finally purchase the UD Naked Palette!
I hate computer glitches! Long story…. 🙁
I just realized that I haven’t worn makeup in over a week and a half. I haven’t washed my face outside of taking a shower or used any creams/lotions. Lots of crazy stuff going on right now. It will be nice when I actually feel like wearing makeup again.
My cat would never applaud me. He would only scowl and go back to sleep!
Going to a salon party tonight….gonna do my hair hot hot hot!!!
i have to work 6 days straight this week 🙁
I wear a light shimmer on the lid and then a soft brown in the crease and mascara to work!
I strategically ordered some MAC products online that will arrive at my house on Valentine’s Day. I figure that receiving something nice in the mail, even though it’s from myself, will make my day a little brighter.
V-day’s coming up, I’m single,but hey I am only 17!
happy valentine for tomorrow 🙂
i’m so happy I bought new perfumes. they smell heavenly 😀

I’m sick again, but I just keep telling myself…so many have it so much worse…
Phew. I feel better just saying it. 🙂
I can’t wait for Spring. There are loads of new sandals I have my eye on!
I’m sitting at the movies, waiting for Just Go With It to start, and I’m reading your blog during the previews. Talk about commitment, lol! Love your blog!
I cannot wait to get my hands of UD new Feminine Palette! I especially love the teal and purple colors in it. Though I do wish it had their color Baked. I haven’t tried it, but I love the color. (:
hopefully it’ll be spring soon!
cool blog!
I can’t wait till the weather gets warmer (:
I hope you don’t have any problems with catty behavior in your office LOL……
I knew tabs was in charge^_^
I’ve been window-shopping Sephora lately. Looking to buy some new coral-hot makeup colors.
Tabs has to be the most eloquent Chief Feline Officer I’ve ever come across! 😀 Team Tabs!
That Walgreen’s makeup aisle is dangerous. It’s the first aisle when you walk in the door. Why would they do that to me? They get me every time.
Wow. I was going to comment on how little love I’ve been feeling at my job lately (I work in HR, duh…), but then I saw that cute banner pic of you as Wonder Woman, and got some serious happiness. I wonder if I could pull that off at work on Monday. It would make me feel better.
I would like to try a new perfume.
I’ve been so sick lately. I need a Sephora pick me up.
I really wish MUFE would expand their Aqua Cream colors.
I like wearing neutral makeup in the office…. I would wear probably lots of browns or taupes just to give dimension, and to sneak in a pop of color, I’d use a bright but subtle blush.
RT @kyliemou.
if I win, I would use the giftcard to buy the glee collection nail polish : )
My rule of thumb is to never date anyone at work. Too much risk of it ending badly and making every workday super awkward!

I once asked a guy I worked with out on a date. We’ve been married over 8yrs now! Thanks for the giveaway, I have a growing wish list at Sephora!
You always have just great giveaways! What girl doesn’t love Sephora?! And just in time for Spring and the new colors!
My current boss is awesome!!
someone from school which is kind of my office.
There is so much I want from Sephora right now. Fingers crossed!
I love my UD naked palette because I can use it when I go out or use it for work. And my eye makeup always looks good at the end of my 12-13 hour shifts.
While not work related; I have just broken up with my boyfriend of near on two years. And am coping with the gut wrenching emotional pain and tsunami of tears by focusing on myself. You truly cannot forget about yourself and how you’re your number one fan. Treat yourself to makeup, good music,Ben & Jerry’s and a good read (romance novel anyone?). I don’t know how anyone gets through a breakup without listening to 80’s music or working out to Jillian Michaels!Surrounding yourself with good company also helps,my little shih tzu knows how to warm a girl’s heart! So while i’m hoping for things to get better soon and setting the AT&T U-verse recorder to catch every “The Office” episode, I’ll be watching the snow melt away and bring forth new begininngs that are well anticipated.
Ive been following Sephora via Twitter. Cant wait to try new perfume by Kate Walsh.

My favourite boss would have to be from the very first job I ever had. I started when I was fourteen working in a small take away shop owned by a Macedonian family. Anyway, he was a very kind man, if not a little stern at times. He’d nag the staff he had about eating. You need to eat more, or you should eat you look hungry. While the shop generally provided roast chicken, chips and all that calories adding goodness, my boss would also cook soups for his staff and always enjoyed making new things for us to eat.
After work he would joke that we had to stay around to protect him so he wouldn’t get attacked by young hooligans, which always made us laugh since where we lived was rural with a population of roughly 3,000 people.
i hope you have a good valentines day!
I just love your blog:).. i’ma new follower…. hahahaha
Went to the worst wonder woman event today at nordstrom. Ugh! So sad! Sold out of most of the products and just awful job on my makeup. Hope other girls had more fun and better luck at events. Thanks for the contest!!!
I get to wear whatever makeup I want to work. Today I wore a bare eye (black eyeliner) with red lips.
I met my boyfriend in the office… we’re still together after 2 1/2 years 🙂
My favourite boss has remained to this day the boss I had at my first job at 15. They were an elderly couple at a bakery and we got to eat anything we wanted! It was awesome.
Thanks for your giveaways 🙂 Happy Valentines Day everyone!!
I’m aiming to get my makeup routine down to 10minutes in the mornings!
I had a fantastic run this morning! I wish I could go tomorrow too, but I’m going to be so sore!
I wear any makeup I want in the office, but done tastefully since I am in the corporate world. Thanks!
Karen, do you watch Parks & Recreation on NBC? It was hilarious this week!
OOH sounds great !
love sephora and i have been shopping there a lot.
Haha, how amusing!
Well, I really liked my boss from my summer job. He was a little too old for me, but he was cute ahaha. He was pretty easy-going and laid-back, unlike those strict supervisors who try to discipline you like a dog by saying what you’re doing wrong.
ive never worked at an office but i imagine i would just wear simple classic makeup
Have a great week!
Go Tabs!
Hey! I could use some $ towards a clarisonic. That is a probability! Love the MBB by the way!
Happy saturday!
I have done both steps, fingers crossed.
I LOVE shiro cosmetics eyeshadows – they’re making my day EVERYDAY 😀
love your reviews!
The Naked Palette would be ideal for creating everyday office looks!
I dated someone from work before, it ended badly and it made working there horrible for months afterwards. It was not the best idea I’ve ever had.
My boyfriend keeps making me try his Guinness and it’s gross 😛
I just tried my new contacts today and LOVE them! I can’t even feel them!
at risk of sounding completely nuts: i am so glad to be alone this valentine’s day 😀
Loving all of the spring collections!
i love a new tarte collection!
Time to try to win the gift card again. gotta buy those brushes for my makeup kit from sephora:)
My makeup at work is really simple like nude brown, I cannot live without black eyeliner though.

Ah! I’ve had my eye on albatross by NARS.
I’ve never dated anybody from work, but that’s because I’ve never been attracted to anybody at work. There’s a guy I see at work sometimes (not too often, because I go around to different places) who I don’t really talk to, but I’d totally date him if 1) he weren’t married and 2) I weren’t getting married. 😛 Good thing I’ll be moving and looking for a new job once I’m married!
I usually wear a more natural eye make look or a no makeup look but when i hit the clubs i make it dramatic with a wing
haven’t dated anyone from work.. i think it would just be too awkward if we were to break up and then keep on having to see each other professionally.. anyway, am married and its something i dont have to worry about happening anymore! lol.. 🙂

i currently like my boss now! she’s really sweet and lets us be in control of our autonomy. plus, i love flexitime!
I haven’t had a workplace, so I’m just telling you what kind of make-up I usually wear to university (if I wear anything)… either a beige-dark brown combo on the eyes, or a light brown-plum (now I’m so into just putting the darker color in the outer corner and a bit to the lower lashline… not in the crease) and a light, natural lipstick/lipgloss… oh, and mascara and eyeliner if needed :).
After reading Sam’s review, the $50 would deeeefinitely go towards a ‘Clarisonic fund’ LOL
3 years ago I started dating a guy from the accounting department at my work.
We’ve lived together for the last 2 years, so far so good!
ugh valentine-less on valentine’s. hopefullllllllllly i win $50 to make me feel pretty haha here’s hoping 🙂
I work at the hospital and for my husband. Guess which is more stressful???
Tomorrow I’m rockin’ a red lippie for V Day!
I guess I’m technically dating someone from the office. I actually work in the office part, though, and he works in our shipping department (it’s a mail order/call center dealy) I don’t see him that often at work, so it’s not too weird or anything. We’ve made it work almost 3 years now, so I guess we’re doing something right!

I’ve always been torn about how bright of a nail color could I get away with at work. I’m obsessed with nail polish, and I wish I could wear more fun colors to work!
There are so many things from Sephora I have been wanting to get this would be perfect! 🙂
Tabs sounds like an excellent boss. Now I wish I worked for a cat!
i used to teach kindergarten and wear really fun make up to work– lots of sparkly brights and cute nails. the kids loved it and i did, too ^^
I’m a stay at ome mom, so my hours are long, I don’t get paid, there’s no room for advancement, but it’s a job that’s worth it!
If I had a boss like Tabs I’d be a happy girl! Speaking of makeup, I work as a part time photographer so I can wear whatever I want – unless of course, I am taking pictures of kids then I’d tone it down a bit since I don’t want to scare the little ones 😛 .
Janice recently posted … Her Valentine Friend
My work makeup is very basic and minimal to match the super casual dresscode (old jeans and a hoodie). I work in a lab and no matter how careful you are, there’s no avoiding the occasional chemical spill that totally ruins whatever you have on. I use weekends to go wild and explore more intricate makeup looks 🙂
Hi Karen
usually, for work, i wear just a lil foundation and a lil blush–i work in a pretty casual place
thx!!!
I went crazy during the sale at Boots yesterday and now have 4 new foundations and 2 tinted moisturizers to try out… I’m so excited! 🙂
As much as I love makeup, I tend to wear neutrals to work each day. On the weekend I try to get adventurous with different colors! Yesterday I wore a lemon yellow and green eyeshadow look to go out to a new hibachi restaurant. I had some other stuff on my mind, so later that night when I saw myself in the mirror I was pleasantly surprised to see my eyeshadow.
“T-money and K-dawg” cracks me up every time. You and Tabs are hilarious 🙂
I’m so keen on getting some new makeup for a fresh-spring- face
I would never the date the doctors that I work for, they are good surgeons but cheat on their wives with all the nurses-my workplace seems like General Hospital, lol
Love your blog 🙂
My favorite boss was Kandace.

I need to buy myself a valentines gift!
Think I might make a trip out to the beach today…happy Sunday everyone 🙂
I’ve got a serious itch for those new UD palettes!
I’m iowagirl301 on Twitter.
I try to wear work safe makeup- Naked Palette with light application, bare escentuals eyeshadows, brown liner, etc. I do change it up every now and then with a red lip or a pink cheek… but otherwise try to keep it work appropriate.
I think office romance would be so awkward, so i try to avoid it at all cost. I wamt to pick up the felt-tip eyeliner from benefit, its super dark and wet. Wprking for tabs must be awesome, you even get a wakeup call from your boss
I could use a pick me up with some new spring makeup or fragrance!
I wear my normal, everyday makeup to work (foundation, powder, blush, shadow, liner, mascara, lipstick) but I never have time to touch it up so it always fades through midday. If I win the Sephora gift card, I’ll be able to try out some awesome oil-controlling primers to help my makeup last! Thanks Karen!

I met both of my husbands at the office. So I guess it was a good idea the second time, but not the first time.
I’m totally into neutrals lately!!
As far as office makeup goes, I like to do neutrals with a twist. Instead of a matter brown I go for a satin finish bronze and I add some navy or plum liner instead of the usual black and brown. It really makes a difference! Thanks for the chance to win!
Yeah sephora.

Often times, I don’t wear makeup to work any more. *gasp* I just prefer getting there on time vs. looking good. I just hide behind my glasses. 😉
I met my husband at work…..and I think I need the Trish Vibrant lipstick.

I’m going to say my favorite place I ever worked was for Costco Whole, man I loved that job! I worked there for 17 years, and I sure did get some great deals lol That was they only kind of bad thing, you have to resist spending your pay check there haha
So far my favorite job was an internship at “Ugly Betty.” It was so cool going to the studio every day!

Happy Valentine’s day! 😀
watching basketball and having wings for lunch 🙂
I’m in the midst of a job search and a Sephora GC would come in quite handy 🙂
I hope I win!!
I cut my foot very badly
I hate going to the dentist!
me! I have some cool things on my wish list
My makeup routine is normally using Cover FX foundation primer, and my MUFE HD foundation or Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating foundation. Then I apply MUFE Full Cover concealer and MUFE HD powder and blush. Then I use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion over my lids and apply neutral brown eye shadow. I use eyeliner pencil or gel liner to draw my inner and outer eyelids. Then I use my favourite eyelash curler and apply a thin coat of Shiseido Mascara Base and Perfect Mascara. To finish with the eye make up I use my Sonia Kashuk Full Glam Eyelashes. Then for my lip I use Revlon Colorstay lipstick.
Like this blog! On a tight budget at the moment and would love to win the gift card! 🙂
My favourite more recent Sephora purchase was the Kat Von D Ludwig palette – beautiful neutrals!
Currently taking a break from my chores/errand running day. Vacuuming is hard work!
Getting ready for the grammys – Just put a chicken in the oven & now to paint my nails w/Wonder Woman – Obey Me
I love wearing Mac Jest all over my eyelid with brown eyeliner smudged into my lashline for work. It’s a really pretty look thats still understated:)
I currently am dating someone from work! To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend it, but we are only part-time and don’t work the same permanent days.

I love BareMinerals. I wear it everyday and it feels great!! It’s not really reviewed on here so maybe you should take a look at it! I love it, and I think a lot of other people would too.
I bought Bella Bamba blush last week for my little birthday present to myself. ohemgee IN LOVE.
I had the best boss in the world when i worked at a Payless Shoesource. She was awesome. She worked with our schedules and always asked if we ever needed anything like days off or more hours!!She was also the best gift giver in the world soooooooooo giving! She was the BEST! kudos to her!!!
happy valentines!!
I’m going on vacation to Quebec in a few days! It’s going to be freezing there.
I just bought Confessions of a Concealoholic by benefit and it is amazing! It has everything I need and I can take it with me to classes and work 🙂
btw I have a cat that looks just like Tabs, her names Ellie and she loves looking in mirrors too haha. cats are the best
Feeling really grateful for last week. Nothing extraordinary happened, but I feel better about Life. Things aren’t really as bad as they may seem sometimes.
I try and wear professional, neutral shades for work
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY KAREN!!! <3
I’m going to be piling on concealer to hide the dark circles under my eyes in the coming weeks. Exams, papers and application deadlines always happen at once, don’t they?
I work at a reception hall and I hate when people pick up a piece of food, decide they don’t want it, and promptly put it back on the tray. Gross!
I just realized V-day is tomorrow.. ahahahaha.
SNL is the best show everrrr!

Sitting here doing my nails with Revlon Perplex and it’s taking forever to dry! It’s seriously been like 2 hours and I just touched them and they’re all screwed up! Do you have this problem?
Thanks for doing the giveaway!
Japanese steakhouses are the best!
I went ice skating and I fell a lot~
I am in denial that it is about to start raining in the Bay Area.
I would love to win this!
OH please enter me!
can’t wait for the grammys tonight
I am just thrilled that, after waking up early to feed them of course, my cats let me sleep in both days this weekend! Glorious sleep! I love catching up on it on the weekend…it makes starting the work week much easier to bear. Hope you have a great one (and many mushy Valentine’s hearts and kisses to you and Tabs!!) OXOXOXO 🙂
i got to do makeup at my school’s play.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentines Day.

I’ve had the same boss for almost nine years. He and his wife are almost like family!
I love to rock a smokey eye at work, its my little rebellion to the corporate suits! 🙂
happy valentine’s day! I hope it’s special 🙂
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good moisturizer (preferably with SPF 15+)? I have dry, somewhat sensitive skin and I recently moved to a cooler, drier climate and I need help.
Thanks!
yayyy giveaway yessss!!! :DDD
Watching the Grammies, and reading your blog 🙂
I wish my dog could talk.
Would love to win this! Thanks, Karen!

Nothing beats Monopoly Deal on a Sunday night before hitting the books. That, and taking two hours to look at the Sephora website with a new friend discussing makeup!

My kitty Bim is a huge fan of Tabs! 🙂 he always walks across my laptop keypad and stares at the screen when I’m reading. lol! yay for kittehs!!
I love the posts where you can post about anything you want. I vented about my husband, but then deleted it. Its funny how just typing out something with the intention of posting it can make you feel a little better. 🙂
Last year I eat the counter and was throwing up all the next day. I recently went back and noticed the had removed the sauce i had gotten from the menu. I guess I wasn’t the old one that got sick…
I never show up at work without makeup before. I don’t know what people would think.
I tutor elementary kids as a part time job, so I always take off my rainbow-y makeup when I go to work 😛
The best [career] advice I ever got was from my first boss; she told me “you don’t ask, you don’t get.”
It’s a great reminder to speak up and ask for what you want/need/deserve–nothing ventured, nothing gained and you just might get what you want!
xo
Oof, I could tell you about my least favorite boss but it’d take entirely too long >)
One of my favorite bosses was a seamstress that I worked as an assistant for. We got to work on movie sets and do all kinds of neat things. She would often treat me for drinks or dinner after work and was very flexible with scheduling. I wish all bosses could be like that!
