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.”

Whatever happened to Sam who used to guest post here?
One day, I will win 🙂
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. 😉
Nothing on my lips so far – getting ready for a morning Muay Thai class! 🙂
Larie recently posted … Coral Corral (Tee Hee!)
I prefer non-waterproof mascara since it’s easier to get off. I never really had a problem with it smudging or anything. 🙂
I am a big fan of chocolate milk. But I always make it with almond milk. so yummy!
I’m having a cup of chocolate milk as I’m typing 🙂 Happy Wknd
I love chocolate milk!!! Had some yesterday. My cousin and I have started walking on the weekends.
Hmm…for sure waterproof mascara. Being a nurse and working in a dry environment, it brings out all the oil in my skin and I find waterproof mascara doesn’t wear off or flake off as quickly….
I have Neutrogena Naturals lip balm on my lips.
I could never run a naked race lol
I’m going shopping then doing my nails… today is a day for relaxation
I actually don’t generally wear mascara at all, I have naturally long, thick lashes and I wear glasses so sometimes mascaras will end up rubbing off on my lenses! I do tightline to give the impression of fuller lashes though.
Alaina recently posted … OPI – Elephantastic Pink
Race naked?! Are you kidding?! I could never do that!
I’m in the search of a new mascara that doesn’t weigh down my eyelashes!
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=-.”)
I prefer non-waterproof mascara. I already have a difficult time getting that off at night – I couldn’t handle waterproof.
Someone seen the movie Attila with Gerard Butler, he is soo sexy 😉
I’m still in bed! Nothing on my lips! Reading up on all my favorite beauty blogs on my phone! 🙂
I LOVE Silk PureAlmond Dark Chocolate milk. I could drink a carton a day!
i’m still trying to use up the mascaras i got from my trip to korea, but i don’t really know whether they’re waterproof or not, or even what they’re targeted at (volume, curl, lenth, etc), LOL…
Hopefully its my lucky day, I just got a turtle he’s so cute his name is Franklin we are getting another one today her I get to name her ima name her Sophie how cute! Deep down I’m heart broken and trying to stay strong because my dog has parvo its slowly killing him I see him and I wanna cry I just hope he makes it through 🙁 my poor puppy.
I prefer waterproof mascara because it holds the curl better.
Loving my new Catrice Giant mascara 🙂
Its always a good morning when your fat cat wakes you by plopping on your belly
I’m going home to NC for the summer! It’s kind of sad but I won’t miss the New Orleans heat.
So, what are you planning on wearing to the race? Hope that you do well! I’m hoping to get some spring cleaning done. Or rest, we’ll see 🙂
I’m eating captain crunch! Oh, and I went to Sephora yesterday!
Just Carmex lip balm on my puckers right now 🙂

When I look in the mirror, I’m not sure what I see. Is it me, or someone else?
Nice blog!
i prefer non waterproof mascaras because they’re easier to remove
Good luck tomorrow! Hopefully nudity will at a minimum so you can enjoy the day.
Nothing on my lips yet but aquaphor. I love doing my makeup on the weekends, though, because I have lots of time to play around.
Have fun at the Bay to Breakers! Thanka as always for the giveaway!
I AM WEARING FUSCHIA ON MY LIPS TODAY…AND I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR BLOG !!!!
Trying out a new eyeliner tomorrow morning!
Karen – It’s my birthday on Monday! Hopefully this Sephora giftcard will be a little birthday surprise. I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🙂 thanks for the giveaway!!
I also tweeted about it – @FSUfashiongirl

Long weekend here in Canada! Yay! 3 days of day-off! 🙂
Even though I am an old woman of 60, I enjoy your blog so much. You are the total beauty blogger package ( though I am sure Tabs would take credit) and you write for all age groups! Thanks so much!
Had a great day…eating my favorite dumplings without any guilt!;)
Waterproof mascara! I get emotional real easy 😉 (Although honestly, I think its a good thing to be a tad bit sensitive in this world of weirdness sometimes) Have a great weekend!
Running naked sounds … All kinds of painful *yikes*
Revlon Lip Butters are the best hybrid gloss-lipsticks. It’s superior to ones I’ve purchased at Sephora and department stores.
Im addicting to Revlon Lip Butters especially the shade Berry Smoothie. i get lots of attention from what it does for my lips.
No workout buddy – I tend to talk too much if I have a workout partner!
I haven’t had chocolate milk in such a long time! Now I am craving it.
I think I’ll wear some sumptuous olive today from Mac:)
my bf is my workout partner, we just ran this morning . its 83 degrees in michigan right now!
Today is a beautiful day in Ohio, and I’ve got Smith’s Rosebud Salve in strawberry on my lips, eyelids, and eyelashes 🙂
I would not run a race naked.
I’m worried I won’t be able to attend school in the fall. There’s a problem with financial aid. 🙁
Got a few By Terry blushers this week. Love them
Joyce recently posted … Announcement: Giveaway Winner (prize valued up to $185)
I love mascara, but they all run (even waterproof!)
Not wearing anything on lips right now but later will put on my current fave lip plumper Sexy MotherPucker. It works and the color is beautiful!
Have an awesome race, i might run the Pasadena marathon as a bandit, for a few miles, to cheer on my friend who is running it officially.
I’ve sort of been on a makeup slump lately. I love the items I have, and still apply it very happily, but I just haven’t been in the mood to purchase anything new. Good for my wallet, but it makes me feel a little sad anyway.
i am really starting to love becca cosmetics! wish they still had them at sephora!
any new becca collections on the horizon?
I really only wear waterproof mascara if I think I am going to really need it. The mascaras I have been using lately (Josie Maran’s GOGO and Hourglass noir) never seem to make a mess If my eyes water a little. I have even jumped in the pool with the Hourglass one and it didnt even smudge
No, i would never run a race naked. I do as little as possible naked, but that’s just me.
LOL! I would never run a race naked either!
I’m in love with the Naked 2 palette, I’m just dying for some matte nude colors!
I always buy waterproof mascara because it holds my curl better! I’m wearing Benefit Posietint on my lips today 🙂
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!!!
Hi Karen!
For some reason I thought the race was today….:) As you already know I am working all weekend, super early hours….No day off till next Wednesday!
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!
Have a great weekend!
I just made an offer on a house (first time ever!!), so my beauty budget is limited! Would happily take a gift card!
Waterproof mascara is a must for hot summer day!
I prefer waterproof mascara because it holds the curl of my eyelashes better.
I wanna go to Tai tai 4 river eco logde Cambodia real bac
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!!!
Hi karen
I can’t wait to get new shoes so I can start C25K and hopefully be able to run a marathon someday.
I prefer non waterproof mascara, the waterproof kind makes my lashes feel brittle and it’s so hard to get off.
I find that waterproof mascara is more difficult to apply and I don’t like the texture when applied, so I just always worry about possibly looking racoony 🙂
Have fun tomorrow! Today is all about cleaning out the garage and getting it organized. We moved into a house 3 weeks ago and haven’t done anything with it. At least it will be done after today (fingers crossed).
While you’re doing Bay to Breakers I’ll be sleeping – in preparation for the flight back from England to the Bay :/
I prefer non-waterproof mascara, because it’s easier to remove. Besides, waterproof and non-waterproof mascara both work the same on me.
I’m working this weekend!
Your post on the essie neon polishes got me so excited! Gonna have to get a couple.
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!
Can’t even imagine trying to talk to a naked runner! Will hope for a minimum of nudity tomorrow.
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.
Enjoy your weekend!
I had chocolate milk last week, actually!
I’ve got Revlon’s lip butter on my lips..these are great!
Non waterproof. The waterproof kind is too harsh and pain to take off at night.
I am only 21 this year, but I want the Clarisonic Mia so bad! I am also obsessed with lipsticks. I bought two of them off the Gratobian website just recently! And, I am really pleased with my buys! 😀
-almostbeautyjunkie
Nothing on my lips today.
I prefer non waterproof mascara bc the waterproof seems to hard to get off, at least to me
I’m wearing MAC’s Pink Poodle lipglass on my lips today. It’s so happy, bright, & summery!
I told myself I’m taking a break from makeup, because in reality my beauty budget can’t handle my obsession, but Revlon just came out with these new Kissable balm stains, and I want more! I have one in Honey, and I’m addicted now (>_
I am getting so tired of being in this house.
I’ve been trying to make Thai tea at home. It’s a lot harder than it looks.
I’m so proud of my Saturday morning- I did an Insanity workout (then ruined it all by eating the best breakfast on EARTH! Corned beef hash and eggs, mmm)!
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.
Bobbi Brown Treatment Lip Shine in Nectarine is the lip of the day for me.
chocolate milk, ugh. Hot chocolate yes, but the idea of regular old chocolate milk turns my stomach (which of course makes no sense considering that hot chocolate isn’t all that different). In any case, I haven’t had chocolate milk since I was a child
One day I’ll win.
Ugh had a horrible day today 🙁
Hopefully everything turns out ok tomorrow
I love these giveaways! They give me hope!
My workout partner is my husband! 🙂
Laundry to do and bonfires this evening to look forward to!
My 4th grader went to Sacramento yesterday for a field trip and she looooooved it! So now we’re planning a trip to Sacramento this Summer! I’m excited about that!
I definitely would not run a race naked. I don’t have a workout buddy – my time in the gym is my “me” time to unwind and process the day.
I actually just got two workout buddies! We’re running together, and I’m psyched about it.
I’m trying to do training for a class but our internet at work is so slow the dang powerpoint won’t load….so annoying because I definitely do not want to do it at home!!

What is your costume?
Can’t wait for our cottage to get done! We discovered some structural damage so it had to undergo some renovations. I seriously can’t wait though until it’s finished, I totally love it there.
Have fun tomorrow! It would be awesome to win. 🙂
Good luck tomorrow!
Estou amando usar a máscara para cÃlios da YSL, perfeita!!!
Hot and Juicy crawfish for lunch. Yeah!
I’m not really a runner but I think I’d remain fully clothed if I did take it up! My workout buddy is my husband (we’ve got two exercise bikes in our basement) and I’ve got on No 7 Lip Liner in Nude and Revlon’s Colorburst Lipgloss in Peony on my lips. Good luck with your race!
I usually prefer non-waterproof unless I know I’m going to have a particularly long day and then I’ll go for waterproof
I use the Clarins product that makes regular mascara waterproof.
Revlon’s grow luscious is my fave mascara for the moment. prefer non-WP!
I usually use both non-waterproof and waterproof. I first put the regular mascara then on my second and third coat it’s the waterproof. It’s much more easy to remove plus my curls hold much longer than just using a regular mascara. 🙂
Home getting ready for a date afternoon with the hubs. My girls and I just finished waking for Walk Lupus Now and it was great!
I just purchased the highlighting powder fromt e MAC “Hey Sailor” collection presale!
needing a perfume for my wedding day in 2 weeks! this will help!
I would never run much less run naked! 😉
I’m wearing cherry flavored Carmex on my lips today.
I’m wearing Chanel ROUGE COCO Shine
it is hot today, so will just clean and listen to sookie stackhouse books from audible.
As another poster commented, “where’s Sam?” Would love it if you had more ” how to” articles/videos. Your site is still my favorite blog though. 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone!
I prefer non-waterproof mascara over waterproof because I have very few lashes and they tend to fall out or break with harsh mascara.
Lol! I would never run a race naked!
Good luck tomorrow!

I had chocolate milk a couple of weeks ago, maybe I should pull out some chocolate syrup and make some right now, that would be tasty. And I’d never run naked yuck no one needs to see that!
i’m wearing til tomorrow by mac today. =)
When I win I am going to get a lot of makeup.
I wear mostly waterproof mascara because of my tear from sensitive eyes ^^

Non-waterproof mascara, I hate having to work very hard to get it off at the end of the day!
I have to get ready tonight for some wedding festivities and I’ll be wearing a gold outfit so I’ll have some color on my lips to pop out!
NO! Running naked is just a no! Lol
Playing violin all day – have some downtime this weekend that I’m trying to enjoy!
Wearing Revlon Super Lustrous in Coral Reef today. I love to wear coral in the spring/summer 🙂
Headachy but feeling like ive accomplished a lot this morning!

Hi Karen!
We (the husband) are house hunting! It’s been like three months and I think finaly we decided wich house we want! It’s our first house, because since we got married we only can afford renting! But I’m very excited and we are saving for the kitchen a/c floors etc But I’m so so Happy and Thankful!!!
I would definitely never run a race naked. That seems like it would be very uncomfortable.
It’s very hot here this weekend so I’m staying inside and doing a mani/pedi. I’m using the color ‘I need a refresh-mint’ by Wet n Wild. It’s a dark tiffany blue.
id love to win..
OMG I would never run naked! There would be too much wiggling and jiggling going on!
No naked running for me, thanks! No running at all actually…
I’m gonna win one of these days!!!! I can do it!!! Lol! Anyway, I prefer water resistant mascara. For some reason, I used to prefer waterproof until I heard that they used bat poo in it. Don’t know if that’s true or not but that quickly converted me to non waterproof macaras! Lol!
I LOVE waterproof mascara. I wear concealer under my eye; it never fails that regular mascara smears down. Waterproof mascara stays put which makes me happy!
LANCOME Bi-Facil mascara remover will work easily and beautifully to remove waterproof mascara.
Now mascara stays put with waterproof and is removed easily with Lancome Bi-Facil mascara remover!!
I’d SO do a naked 5k if it weren’t for my running nemesis: Lord Von E Cup and the Jiggling of Doom. Seriously, it hurts just to think about >
Good luck tomorrow, and hopefully everyone is clothed *lol*
I don’t know about that naked race; does wearing running shoes count? And, yeah, I’d need to wear my bra. Just the thought of running with no bra hurts.
I wear benefit’s it’s real mascara as i am in LOVE with it! Really makes your lashes long and full 🙂 one of the best and also obsessed with dior’s mascara =)
I hope your Saturday is going great!!! I’m off to line dancing!!
On my lips i’m wearing MAC hue lipstick with too faced barely legal gloss on top! goin for really nude,and lashes I’m a dior blackout addict! love these giveaways, wish i could win! mama needs some essentials!
I can’t remember if I entered already. LOL
I’m testing out the Revlon Colorstay Nail line this week. I just painted my nails and am cruising your blog while they dry! 🙂
I also tweeted the giveaway!
Oh my god, running a race naked?! Talk about a nightmare. Not only would that be horribly embarrassing, but ah, I’m a little bigger up top if ya catch me… yeah, that’d be painful. I’ll stick to walking fully clothed, thanks. LOL Hope you have a great weekend!
I’m a writer and have a deadline on Monday so I am working like a gherkin!
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.
I am not wearing anything on my lips today because I am sick 🙁 But I would love to get a new lipstick and this gift card would be perfect for it! Have a great weekend!
Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm for me today.
Wow the Breakers sounds very interesting. I don’t think there’s anything like it here on the East Coast. What an experience you’re gonna have!! Here’s to Living Life Vividly!
Would you (or have you ever) run a race naked?
Good lord, no!
Do you have a workout buddy?
Does my cat count? He likes to lie on the floor underneath my exercise bike and bat at my feet as they turn on the pedals. 🙂
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?
Nope! I saw “The Avengers” last night and it was great!
When was the last time you had chocolate milk?
A couple of years ago… Now I want some!
The last time I had chocolate milk was in elementary school! And that was.. 14 years ago O_O.
I prefer mascara that’s at least water resistant, because i have a lot of allergies, and my eyes are very often itchy and watering.
Have a worderful time tomorrow. Hope it will be a sunny day!
It’s such a gorgeous day today, I’m celebrating nature with NO MAKEUP!
Counting down the days till I have freedom this summer :)!
Turkey meatball vegetable soup…
Maybelline Baby Lips, the red one
I’m wearing Dior Gold Sunrise on my lips today! Love the texture and sparkle!
My back is killing me!
I had some chocolate almond milk the other day. It was quite tasty.
Picked up a bottle of Sally Hansen’s Mellow Yellow and couldn’t help but also get a bottle of the Mint Sorbet! Hello summer, i’m ready for you!! 😀
Chocolate milk sounds so good…..but I have no chocolate! DARN!
Chocolate milk? Now that you mention it, I’ll probably have some tonight. We keep chocolate (powdered and syrup) around the house, because my mother loves adding chocolate to coffee whenever she visits.
Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen!
I probably last had chocolate milk when I was in elementary school 28 years ago.
I had chocolate milk the other day I just switched over from cow milk to Silk and I love it plus is good for you 🙂
I love tubular mascara, since it seems gentler than regular waterproof and it has staying power (very important since I have oily lids).
This weekend is definitely a working weekend. I’m updating the new website we have at work and then doing some writing for my dissertation.
Gonna keep trying till I win 🙂 First 90 degree day of summer in my neck of the woods.
hopefully I win! Thanks for putting up yet another giveaway (:
Only 2 weeks left until I move 2500 miles to Canada. It’s crunch time!
I’m not much of a runner so no races for me.
Burt’s Bees tinted balm is lovely!
Just picked up a few things from Chanel’s summer collection. Looove the bronzer!
I drink Amazing Grass chocolate green superfood mix with almond milk. Not exactly chocolate milk, but it’s super healthy.
The new NYX Black Label Lipsticks are kind of amazing…
I won’t run naked. Unless it’s after Alexander Skarsgard, of course.
I wouldn’t run naked. Not so much because of the naked part but because I don’t run. 🙂
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 had chocolate soymilk last week:)
i’m allergic to dairy…
I’m wearing mac watch me simmer lipstick… I bought it after seeing the gorgeous pics you posted of it! Thanks Karen 😀
I keep telling myself that someday I will participate in a race.
Just spent the afternoon working in the garden, got 90% of it planted, hooray!
planning a bit of a makeup spree in about 2 weeks so decided I should try and use a couple products up, thought I was almost done one of my concealors (it has a doe foot applicator) so I decided to remove the stopper and little did I know I had heaps of product left. This is the concealor that never ends….
Just got back from hiking! The weather today in Cleveland is beautiful!
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 wish I could get into running, but I’ve never really enjoyed it much… If i did run a race though, I don’t think I’d do it naked… I’d need some boob support at least! 🙂
I am wearing plenty of lip balm with SPF along with waterproof mascara cause we’re staining the deck and building a new vegetable garden. I can’t wait until it’s done! Enjoy your race and have a good weekend. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway.
Hey we live near each other (sort of).
I’m just wearing lip balm today. Have a great weekend!
Admiring your Bay to Breakers fortitude as I try to work up the will to get to the gym once this week!
praying I’ll win one day 🙂
I used to onlywear waterproof mascara because I only wore that stuff while going dancing. Now I prefer non waterproofs because it is so much more managable. Waterproof mascara is no joke, that stuff is hard to remove
Picked up BB Stone e/s this week; gorgeous!
Love the blog! Pray for Free Syria
I should start wearing waterproof, its hot today (Its 89 by me).
Love Chocolate Milke and I would never ever ever run nude!!!
I love chocolate milk, and drink it regularly! I recently discovered the Silk version and to my surprise I like it too – which is better for my health anyway.
Waterproof mascara all the way! It’s really hard to keep my eyelashes curled, but I’ve found that applying waterproof mascara right after curling them helps ’em stay in place!
karen i retweet these every week! i’m dying to get the urban decay super saturated pencils! have a good weekend! hi tabs!
I would definitely not run a race naked! Not just because I wouldn’t want to show off my wobbly bits, but also because my wobbly bits need a lot of support, lol!

I finish my bachelor’s degree (FINALLY!) May 28th and celebrate my 33rd birthday May 30th. How awesome it would be to win. 😀
27 minutes till I get off work!
Waterproof. I wish I could wear it everyday to keep my lashes curled but it dries them out and makes them fall out when I remove it so I only use it for occasions when I really need it.
I am so happy with the weather 🙂
Celebrated my sis’ bday earlier with lunch (italian, yum!) and homemade chocolate cake. L.A. weather was nice!
i just got a husky!! 🙂
I’ve sort of been on a fragrance binge lately. My favorite new discovered are both from the Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection: Sycomore and Coromandel. OMG I LOVE THEM. It’s like they transport me to a magical fairy tale place.
I prefer waterproof mascara. That way I’m prepared for anything. The last thing I want to worry about during the day is having my mascara run or smudge.
I just discovered your blog today! 🙂
June 6th is going to be my 6 year anniversary of bad health…I got sick on 6/6/06 and have never been the same. The date creeps me out!
Waterproof mascara forever!
Today I’m wearing NARS Train Bleu on my lips. I love vampy colours so I wear them all year round no matter what season of the year it is. I just wear what I like 🙂
I’ve always preferred waterproof mascara, but have found in the past 6 months I have to use non-waterproof to keep my lashes from breaking off
I prefer waterproof mascara
Its been a no makeup Saturday! Only used eos lip balm!
mmm…love chocolate milk…had some a few days ago
I love your blog. So helpful
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Karen! =]
I only wear non-waterproof mascara so much easier to take off
I just went to Sephora today and bought Nars’ Orgams Illuminator, finally!
i prefer waterproof mascara because it holds the curl best!
I could never run naked! Ever!
I attended a class hosted by Dior with makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff yesterday. As famous as this chick is, she was soooo nice and soooo funny. Learned that the reason the Olsen girls look so gorge in pics is they’re mouthing the word “prunes” while smiling . It makes the perfect pout and kicks the apples of your cheeks out. Who knew?
i was wearing chanel rouge allure extrait de gloss in insolence earlier today.
Just heard Jade’s “Don’t walk away” and it brought me back to middle school!
I have not used a non-waterproof mascara in forever!
I would never run a race naked — ouch!
Why is it that I can’t resist the urge to use my hands when my nails are still wet?
Wearing my Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait today. Easy and natural.
I had my first day of work today as a gate and concession worker at my pool! Wanting a little more coverage to even out my skin tone without feeling like I am suffocating under foundation in the humidity, I opted for a tinted moisturizer!
I wish I had a glass of chocolate milk right now! Or maybe some dark chocolate and red wine – for, um, the antioxidants. ;D
Have fun tomorrow!
I would punch a lion in the face for a Sephora gift card. I feel like the only person on the planet who doesn’t own the Naked 2 palette. I feel like the kid who got invited to the biggest party all year and I can’t go.
Im not sure which Mac lipstick I should get today…..
I want brownies lol.
Waterproof mascara, because even if allergies are destroying my eyes I can not go without mascara!
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!
If I keep trying, maybe one day I’ll win…
I’m just wearing Jack Black Lip Balm 🙂 Thanks Karen! Good luck tomorrow!
I wore tarte lipsurgence in charmed today! it’s super hydrating
It’s been a great day!
Hope you do well in your race! I can’t wait to run in the color run next year.
I do have a workout buddy but sometimes we slack off. I find it’s easier getting to the gym with a friend but I definitely work out harder by myself.
Today I’m wearing the Beaute liqui-gel stain in flouron. It looks neon orange in the tube, but comes out a very lovely shade of pink that you can use to stain your lips or cheeks, or both!
i need a workout buddy!
I used to ALWAYS wear waterproof mascara, but now I just wear the regular CG LashBlast because it wears just as well as waterproof on me plus it’s MUCH easier to take off.
Just made the hour plus drive to my nearest Ulta for some shopping- why can’t there be an Ulta or Sephora a little closer? Maybe it’s a blessing, too easy to shop in those stores!
Looking for a new lip stain colour….any advice?
Going to my nephew’s wedding tomorrow – so exicited.
Great weekend for me and I am only half way through it!
Waterproof mascara all the way. Never know when you might shed a tear, lol. I am so sappy, commercials can make me tear up!
Good luck and have fun at the race!!
Thanks for the giveaway, as always! 🙂
Run a race naked? …no, no thank you!

Absolutely loving this gorgeous weather in Boston!
Hello Karen! 🙂 What’s in my lips today (and almost everyday) Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate 🙂 Great lip balm… Have a nice weekend! 🙂
I’ve got a pan of homemade lasagna cooling in the kitchen and the smell is driving me crazy! Wanna eat it asap, don’t wanna burn my mouth. Dilemma.
I’ve never run a race naked but my 2 sisters once put paper bags over their heads and ran down the street naked.
I had chocolate milk last weekend. Got it at the farmers market.
I’m wearing MAC Myth lipstick today. The perfect nude. Werk!
I’m so excited about those new essie nail polishes!
The weather was finally warm enough to wear my new maxi skirt today.
I need a new skin regimen to help me look rested after my night shifts! 🙁
Ahh I have never even ran a real race…not to mention the naked part.
I think a naked race is definitely out of the question if only for the bounce factor.
Wearing Chapstick (like always) with Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Tutti Fruitti dabbed on top.
Just tried the Mac lip glass pink lemonade and loved it!
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!! I have been giving my lashes a break from mascara, because they were breaking off too frequently for my liking…it’s been hard, but hopefully it will be worth it!! Have a great weekend! 🙂
I would love love love to win …. I’m wearing Mac reel sexy lipstick today and so bummed that I didn’t get a back up cause I am always losing my lipsticks 🙁 … hey have u noticed how much Mac has been repromoting their stuff??! What’s up with that? Where have all the colors gone?!!!! LOL take care and good luck to everyone
My best friend is trying real hard for me to become her workout buddy. It’s intimidating for me to work out with someone!
Waterproof all the way. I hate mascara runs if my eyes accidentally water up or I have a good cry for some reason. I don’t ever notice if they make my eyelashes crunchy because I feel like I’m never actually touching my eyelashes.
We caught about 500-700 tadpoles off the pool cover over the last 3 days ! What a great start to Summer almost being here ! LOL.
i hate waterproof mascara.. it never comes off! lol

Praying for better days!
Right now I’m really craving strawberry milk. What happened to that? I feel like it was so much more popular when I was a youngin’.
I need to work out more !! =D
I wore Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dalia.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com
I can’t wait for True Blood to return this summer!
wearing chanel glossimer in amour – makes me so happy!
Looking forward to my trip to Mexico in July for my sister’s wedding. I really need to purchase some new product that can last through the heat and humidity!
Horray for a giveaway!
I know it sounds so bad but I do not go to the gym.
I like waterproof mascara because I tend to get watery eyes especially this time of year!
I’m wearing NARS Heat Wave on my lips … Right now, it seems like a whole new life to me..
Today I wore a YSL Glossy Stain – #4 Mauve
I’ve never used non waterproof mascara but I think I read in someone’s comment recently that waterproof makes your lashes weaker? Googling now!
I love waterproof mascaras! I use Lancome bi-facil to remove it easily 🙂
Non WP! Easier to remove. I do love how WP mascara holds a curl though.
I wore Red Racer over Cherry lipliner today!
I don’t have a workout buddy but try to make the folks at the workout my buddies!
Today I’m wearing a nude lipstick – my go to by L’Oreal! :0)
I found a coupon in the newspaper so I’m gonna buy a new lipstick today 😀
lipstick!
OMG!! this is awesome!!! 🙂
I love the new MUF pencils, I think I need them all!
I’m totally craving some chocolate right now! 😀
I would never, ever, ever run a race naked.
Lately I am so emotionally tender that I am just too afraid to wear non-waterproof mascara LOL But sometimes it is good to let all that cry out.
I’ve lived in the Bay Area for about 13 years and somehow I’ve never been to Bay to Breakers….hmmmm…. Maybe next year!
I prefer regular mascara because I like to be able to wash it off easily. I only use water proof if I’m swimming. Also I had chocolate milk Friday night, funny that you asked that because I haven’t had chocolate milk in forever before that. Have fun at the Bay to Breakers!
I don’t like the waterproof mascara so I stick with regular.
I would never run a race naked!!!!
I’ve been using that tube mascara a lot lately because I hate having black under my eyes and I like pulling the tubes off of my eyelashes!
Maybe I skimmed this thread too fast. . . I keep reading about naked running AND waterproof mascara. Humm, I prefer regular mascara to waterproof and you probably won’t see me running naked .LOL. I would like to win the gift card, though.
thank you, i am no craving chocolate milk! hehe
Hi Karen,
I’m wearing Sail La Vie today and loving it!!! Thanks for doing this.
i really wished mac and sephora had international shipping. and it sucks that they only accept US credit cards/paypal for payment. 🙁
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!
I can’t remember the last time I had chocolate milk! But I had a new flavor of Zico coconut water today – chocolate! It was delish! Does that count?
hi karen! i’ve been using boscia products lately. would you recommend?
Have not had chocolate milk in years. Wish I had someone to exercise with. I think time would go faster and maybe keep me motivated. It’s hard to get up every morning and go out walking alone.
I’m trying to grow plumeria in the PNW, so far so good! Here’s hoping they will bloom for me 😀
JUst purchased my first mac lipstick. love it! I am not a dark lipstick or makeup person but I found one that is perfect for my skin tone.
I am on my way to florida this week and am uber excited! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Long time reader and first time entering one of these things. Maybe I’m feeling lucky today?
Always wear waterproof mascara !
Always waterproof mascara. Otherwise it’s raccoon eyes!
no way on the naked run. I workout alone at home but i like to have someone keeping me accountable
I love water proof mascara. I find that it lasts a bit longer and the normal kind.
waterproof mascara, always! it holds curl 🙂
I used to only wear waterproof mascara, but as I get older and lazier I find the non-waterproof easier to remove. So now I only use waterproof on very humid days.
Today I”m wearing on my lips MAC impassioned!
On the lips today: Nars sheer lipstick in Damage.
I have a workout buddy and it helps us both a lot!
Nothing like a beautiful pink shade of lipstick for the Summer…
What a gorgeous day today…. the kitkats and I will be lounging sun-side all day.
I do have a workout buddy and having one both helps us a lot!
Karen Rules!
As always, no doubt 🙂
I can’t remember the last time I had chocolate milk! I need to remedy this asap…..
Just wearing some Vaseline on my lips!
I just had a workout last night with my friend… without a workout buddy I wouldn’t have to someone to compete with so I can’t push myself as hard >_
My husband is very frequently my workout buddy, but I have made so many friends at the gym that there is always a buddy there to motivate me and make it fun. Yay!
gorgeous weekend!!
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there!
I don’t think I’d ever run a race naked. I mean, can you imagine the girls just flopping all over the place?! Hahaha.
Had a great weekend with family 🙂
A good breakfast makes me feel like a happy cat =^.^=
I am wearing EOS lip balm in sweet mint
I have work training this weekend! Excited about my new job!
Today I’m just hanging out at home, so all I’m wearing on my lips is EOS lip balm. 🙂
My workout bud is my friend who encourages me to get a better bod, and then adds to my struggle by taking me to McDonalds right after a swim 😛
I prefer waterproof mascara, I usually have problems with my eyes watering so it’s kind of a safe guard for me!
I hate waterproof mascara because it’s so obnoxious to get off but with regular mascara it’s all over my face in a couple of hours. I’ve been using tubing mascara recently and liking it!
I’m wearing Nivea lip balm in milk and honey and I love it!!
Right now I’m wearing the EOS lipbalm in Summer Fruit– but my ALL time favourite lip balm is definitely the Chapstick brand in Cherry.. smells great and works wonderfully!
Haha, no, I’ve never run a race naked 😛 And I don’t think I *would* ever, either – that just seems like a bad idea all around, lol!!
Rae // theNotice recently posted … New 20/05/12 (aka the giant Spring 2012 Sephora launch post of doom)
I am dying to buy the Illamasqua foundation in pure white. Almost all foundations, high-end or not, are too dark on me. I’d love to be able to finish off the bottles and have them match versus being awkwardly orange-y.
I only wear waterproof mascara. My eyes get very dry and then they get watery to compensate for the dryness. My mascara would run if I didn’t use waterproof.
I don’t run (heel spurs) but I like to walk but can’t today because (1) it’s raining and (2) back spasms 🙁
Waterproof, all the way.
I would love to run a race…but definitely not naked! 🙂
after seeing your post i want to buy those mac body oils!
My workout buddy is my boyfriend!
This hot weather already has me whipped!
Having a lazy Sunday today! Those are needed every once in a while, right?! :-). Have a good week,, Karen and everyone else! Next weekend is going to rock! Hooray for a holiday weekend!
I am a teacher and this is the LAST week of the school year.
Yum, chocolate milk. =9
I’m just feeling so burnt out and sluggish. But on the bright side, there’s only a couple more weeks of school left. Let’s do this! 🙂
One of the things on my ‘to do’ list for today was to grab a neon polish but no matter how hard I try I don’t think they are very flattering on me. Glitter, however, is always on style. Hope you had fun at the races.
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!
Hmm…I don’t know if I could run naked. But my school does this event called “Naked Brunch” every year for the seniors. I’m still not sure if I’ll do it or not, though.
My bf is a personal trainer and I STILL can’t get up the motivation to work out often >.>
No, I have never run a race naked, and I never will… I hate running!!
I wouldn’t dare run naked. I would be so awkward, lol.
I have the clear babylips lip balm in the blue tube on my lips right now. It’s super hot and sunny here!
Wearing Rimmel Nude Delight today ! ; )
I had chocolate milk this afternoon. I still love it!
I’ve been obsessed with sea salt sprays (beach wave sprays) for my hair lately! I just can’t wait to go to the beach for summer!
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.
I recently tried NARS lipstick in Red Dragon and I am obsessed! It’s the perfect sophisticated red for my medium tan skin tone. I think you should also try it Karen!
Thanks for the giveaway! I love waterproof mascara for rainy days, because even though I work in an office I know the second I step outside at least one drop of rain will land on my lashes, ruining my look! (this happens to me all the time!) Otherwise I steer clear, because they are a pain to remove.
I usually work out alone, but I used to run with buddy.
I wonder what greens would one use if they were to paint their face to look like the hulk,,,,
I am really loving the ELF waterproof mascara! Especially since it has been raining here for the last week straight! Makes it nice so I dont have to worry my eye makeup is running down my face 🙂
I’m wearing tinted lip balm today. 🙂
I just had a weekend snack of Chocolate Cake in a Mug. Yummy!
Going crazy with the nautical theme…got some Hey, Sailor! and a bunch of striped shirts!
I had a race today, too! I hope yours went well!
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
LOUD NOISES
Just amde chocolate milk for my daughter 20 minutes ago! 🙂
your blog’s pretty freakin awesome!
Was totally bummed by MAC Hey Sailor, loved the packaging though.
Today i mostly spent time looking at makeup that i cant buy yet 🙁 but hopefully that will be remedied if i win the gift card!
Every year my University does an Undie run where you leave your clothes for donation to charity and run around campus in whatever you have left 😉
Hey Karen! I prefer non-waterproof mascara just coz it’s such a pain removing the waterproof ones.
I have never worn anything but waterproof mascara. Pics of black streaks down the face have turned me off to regular mascara, lol.
I am a mascara addict I love waterproof but hate trying to get it off so I am usually wearing regular mascara. I do love waterproof diorshow!
just wearing lip-balm right now!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried waterproof mascara, but I’m thinking it might be a good idea… my right eye always gets really watery, which results in some major makeup mishaps. >:
I have oily lids, so it always has to be waterproof unless I want raccoon eyes.
I don’t have a workout buddy since my workout schedule is too early for most of my friends.
on my lips im wearing Mac lipstick in Angel!
I don’t think I could ever run a race naked…
Yay! Can’t believe I won, already emailed you back! 🙂
