A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway
Comment to win a Sephora eGift card

Good morning, glory. 🙂 Let me be one of the first people in your life to wish you a happy Saturday. Not much going on for me other than cleaning, grocery shopping and relaxing…not necessarily in that order.

I figure I shouldn’t do anything too strenuous before the Bay to Breakers tomorrow. I’m setting two separate alarms for 4 o’clock tomorrow morning, just to be safe.

The costumes that some of the runners wear are a big part of the race. There’s even a costume contest. Last year a group of people won for their royal centipede of 13 people, which had newlyweds Kate and William, and a royal posse of the Archbishop, Prince Harry, Prince Beatrice and others.

I’m all for expressing yourself — daily — but I really, really hope that everyone on the shuttle tomorrow morning is fully and completely clothed (the race is famous for its nude runners) because, seriously, I don’t think I could handle smalltalk with a naked stranger at 5:30 in the morning. “So…is this your first Bay to Breakers? My, that is an interesting tattoo on your bum of a phoenix rising from the ashes… Boy, these seats are cold.” LOL!

Well, it’s that time again. Time for you to get lucky and hopefully win today’s Sephora giveaway.

What folks are saying…

“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane

“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel

“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)

“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK

“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! 🙂 Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline

“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

    I prefer non-waterproof mascara 95% of the time. In the summer if I know I will be swimming or attending a wedding where tears may be involved I will opt for a waterproof formula. Most of the time though I don’t like how hard they are to remove- like hulk smash hard. 😉

    I haven’t ever run a race, but when I was living in the Bay Area I volunteered for the AIDS Lifecycle (set-up, registration, and race kickoff) three years. (And I continue to sponsor two riders annually.) That, and walking around my neighborhood with my headphones, are about as exercise-y as I get!

    I’m sort of working this weekend: I’m continuing to port content into the new database, after the recent site upgrade and redesign. Other than that, no, no work for me 🙂 (At least, nothing that earns me money or where I have to be on someone else’s timetable.)

    Waterproof mascara, always, definitely. Without waterproof mascara I have racoon-eyes within an hour! Sad, but true.

    I am still getting to know my new kitten! I’d forgotten how energetic kittens can be when they’re seven months old. Justin is all legs and paws – he’s going to be a great big solid social I-wanna-snuggle-now cat when he’s fully grown! )My other cats have adjusted to him, but they still occasionally look at me as if to say, “You know, Mom, we were never that insane. -=NEVER=-.”)

    So, I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from MACs recent collections. Seems that the launches the’ve been putting out in the past year have been so blah and unoriginal. That’s was my exact feeling when I saw the swatches/pics of the summer collection “Hey, sailor”. That was until I walked by the MAC counter at Nordstrom and got to try them out myself. I ended up pre-ordering 2 lipsticks, 3 e/s and 2 powerpoint eye pencils. Gah!!!

    I only wear waterproof mascara, my eyes are sensitive and water a lot especially now with the allergy season. I just bought a new L’oreal Fiber Faux Lash Mascara at a whim yesterday, going to try it out today!

    You were smart to set 2 alarms. I had to wake up at 3:30 on Wednesday for an early flight for an important client meeting. For some reason I couldn’t settle down to sleep and I watched the clock from midnight on. At 3:30, the alarm didn’t go off. I thought it was odd but figured I must have dozed off and hit snooze. I went ahead and got up to get ready. When I got home I looked and I had set the alarm for 3:30 pm. I got chills when I realized how close I was to oversleeping and missing the meeting. From now on, I will set a second alarm!!!

    No plans on running any races! I like non-waterproof mascara, but it doesn’t hold the curl as well. I rotate between DiorShow and CoverGirl Lash Blast 24 Hour, and the latter really holds a curl and doesn’t get as brittle as most long-wearing mascaras! I’m curious about the new Maybelline Ultra-Plush mascara though… Mascara is my favorite makeup, and I always have way too many open at a time!

    I prefer non-waterproof mascara for the ease of removal. I do have a waterproof mascara on hand though for situations that will require it (situations where the probability of me crying is high) – weddings, funerals, etc.

    Karen, I think you would be proud- last night, I went to a military ball with my boyfriend (he’s in the army) and I wore Lady Danger on my lips and ROCKED IT! i love how glamorous red lipstick makes me feel.

    I had chocolate milk last week, as I tend to drink it often to satisfy my chocolate cravings, and it was Ovaltine’s Classic Chocolate Malt flavor. I also recently had a chocolate egg cream that I made with Hershey’s syrup & Goya Coconut Soda (it was ok), but can’t remember if that was before or after the Ovaltine.

    I drink way more Classic Malt Ovaltine than any chocolate milk. I find it very relaxing & soothing, so when I’m uptight, I make a big glass of it.

    What are you wearing on your lips today?
    Right now, nothing. Later, possibly lip balm.

    Do you prefer waterproof or non-waterproof mascara (and why)?
    Non-waterproof. I don’t wear mascara very often, and it’s easier to take off and less likely to irritate my eyes.

    Are you working this weekend?

    I definitely prefer non-waterproof mascara. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I struggle HARD when trying to remove waterproof mascaras. It doesn’t matter what eye-makeup remover I’m using (I’ve tried Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover [my usual go-to], various oils, and even Lancome Bi-Facil–all to no avail), I just can’t get that stuff off! Yes, I soak a cotton pad, leave it on my eyes for a few minutes, and attempt to wipe off. Nope. Honestly, is it just me?? I get soooo frustrated!! And that sucky thing is, I have extremely short, sparse lashes–so I could really benefit from the lasting hold of a waterproof formula–but because of my sparse lashes, I really can’t afford to lose 5 lashes every time I go to remove a waterproof formula.

    I prefer waterproof mascara! I have oily skin and so every non-waterproof mascara will smudge on me! Also, I wear contacts and just in case my eyes get irritated and watery, my mascara will stay in place!

    I’m jumping on the mascara bandwagon for the question of the day. I prefer non-waterproof because it hurts my eyes to scrub the waterproof stuff off, and truthfully I prefer how the other looks. My two faves right now are Bare Escentuals Lengthen and Curling….fantastic, and Josie Maran Gogo Natural (I think that’s the name) which is very black and good for your lashes too! Side note — Jose Maran has become my favorite concealer EVER IN THE UNIVERSE. It’s the double pan of treatment and concealer. Fabuloso. And so are your contests Karen. Love the blog!

    Every time I wear regular mascara I’m reminded of why I mostly wear waterproof mascara – between spring allergies, summer “dewiness”, and fall/winter rain, I like my mascara on my eye lashes and nowhere else.

    Good luck with Bay to Breakers!

    Ah, Bay to Breakers! I have terrible asthma so I can’t really do races like that, but I always liked seeing people’s costumes (or lack thereof, LOL) on the train and around the city when I lived in the Bay Area.

    I’m wearing Illamasqua Kontrol on my lips today with MAC Venetian Lustreglass dabbed in the middle – I usually like the extreme purpliness of Kontrol on its own, but it seemed like a fun purply-pinky mixture would be cool to try out. I keep hoping I win the Sephora certificate so I can justify buying more Illamasqua!

    Not wearing a lip product today, or any sort of makeup product, for that matter. I had prom last night and wore more makeup than I usually do, so I’m giving my face a break today. I wore contacts and did the whole works to my face (including wearing foundation, which I almost never do), so my skin definitely needs some rest.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
