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

Okay, this is a totally random way to start the day, but I’m excited! I haven’t been to Japantown in ages, and I’m supposed to be going tonight.

Yes, it’s barely 8:30 in the morning right now, and I’m already thinking about dinner…

And magazines!

El Hub and I are meeting my bro and his girlfriend for Korean barbecue (yup, Korean barbecue in San Francisco’s Japantown), and if we can get there early enough, I hope to visit Kinokuniya Bookstore, which is this huge bookstore filled with Japanese books — everything from business books to art, anime and manga, children’s literature, and an awesome magazine section with literally hundreds of titles.

I can’t read many of them, ya know, except for the few that are in English, but I love looking at the pictures. The fashion, photography and art mags are my faves.

How are you doing this morning? I hope your day got off to a good start.

Oh! — I’ve got a movie rental recommendation for you. It’s called The Way, starring Martin Sheen. It’s about a father who heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the “El camino de Santiago,” and decides to take the pilgrimage himself.

Just a wonderful film (found it on Netflix) that warmed my heart and also made me really want to take a trip to Europe.

Have a great day today, whatever you’re up to. Before you jet, don’t forget to enter both of this weekend’s giveaways (here’s the other one, for some Cos Bar products from Target). Might as well. I mean, since you’re already here. 🙂

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

If so, do you have a favorite magazine? How many languages do you speak? Are there any beauty products unavailable in your country that you wish you could more easily get? How are you wearing your hair today? What are you wearing on your nails? — you get the idea.
  • Second, you can enter by following me on twitter Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
    • Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/MFPHHh

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

    I speak two languages more or less fluently – English (first language) and Spanish (home background – although we didn’t speak a ton of Spanish at home, and 5 years of classes). I can also speak/read Mandarin Chinese at an intermediate level (2 years classes, 3 months living in Beijing). But since I stopped taking classes, I pretty much can’t write in Chinese at all anymore… without practice all the characters fled my brain. :/ I can read Japanese hiragana, and I took one quarter of Cantonese, but all I can remember how to say is “bathroom,” “telephone,” and “I don’t speak Cantonese,” which I guess are sort of useful, LOL. I love learning new languages; if I had time, I would definitely go back to language classes.

    I speak 2 or so languages. Two fluently or close to and then a few others more or less conversationally. I read more languages than I speak though and there are a couple languages that I can follow a story if it’s told slowly enough, but not really respond. This randomly reminds me, I’ve actually only seen Forrest Gump and read Harry Potter in French, never English. I really need to fix that.

    I am a college student, and I am currently living off-campus. Just this morning, I made the yummiest pancakes ever! I mean I am not one who is very adventurous with her cooking, because I only learnt how to cook since I came to the United States (about 10 months ago). My boyfee liked it too! 😀 Such things totally make my day.

    Of course, it would make my day too if I won the Sephora gift card too. 😀

    Thank you for having such contests.

    OMG! Sephora is just so much fun. I blew out both ankles the beginning of February and was bedridden with 2 casts for 2 1/2 months. I’m still recovering and limited in that I can’t walk much or drive much so I’m still doing almost all my shopping online. It’s the only thing that kept my sanity after being a prisoner in bed was getting packages of makeup that I ordered! I’d love to get that new Hourglass primer since I’m addicted to their tinted moisturizer. And if I wish for some products they carried here in the US, I wish we had Jill Stuart makeup! It’s so hard to get and even though they have in NY, you still can’t sample anything and they’re always sold out of most stuff and it still costs a fortune to ship. Thanks for this offer!

    If you have the time, you should check out this little restaurant in Japantown that is on the bridge between the two buildings that houses the bookstore (assuming that I’m thinking of the same place). They do some interesting fusion asian food (Japanese style curry pizza anyone? XD). There’s also a bunch of untranslated manga on the walls to flip through or read. XD

Had ONE semester of Japanese and pretty much forgot how to say anything but “the cat is cute.”

Although my one language is suffering from lack of use, I called up my Mom the other day to speak in our mother tongue and I mixed up the words for ring and grape, and basically told her I got the right stones on my grape. She was confused!!!

    Dude, I watched the late night showing of Prometheus last night. I’m like confused (have so many questions! plot holes or inconsistencies or just Ridley’s mysteries to decypher) and slightly jumpy today. It’s not groundbreaking like Alien but it makes you wonder about origins. That’s all I can say without wrecking it!!! The husband, who abhors horror/scary movies, was entertained but we debated a lot about WHAT was going on on the scary dark walk home. My hood has never looked more menacing!!!

    Before I retired from the Navy reserves, I used to go to Korea twice a year. I didn’t have a lot of free time while I was there, but I always made it to the Namdaemun Market to get fresh fruit and giant handmade soaps. If there was time I would walk from there to the stores nearby, where I would get Korean cosmetics and skin care. I bought everything from drugstore brands to high end – anything that caught my fancy. I really miss being able to do that.

    Hi Karen! (sorry if this is a double post, my phone voided out the first I think)
    I would love to learn Ukrainian. My great grandfather was a bishop in the Ukrainian orthodox church, and from what I’ve been able to learn, a pretty great man. From what I’ve been told, he was a big deal! Unfortunately, most of the information on him is all in Ukrainian. Hopefully one day I will be able to know all the details. Thanks!

    Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

    Today I have lavender on most of my nails and bubble gum pink on the ring fingers. Sorry, I can’t remember the names.

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).
