Got some big news today. About 20 pounds of it, in fact.
Yup, Sephora is going to start carrying the new Tabs for Sephora line of plus-size tabby cats!
I know! We’ve been working on this project for such a long time, and it’s finally official. Tabs signed the paperwork last night, so the product should start appearing in Sephora stores soon.
Each Tabs for Sephora will be genetically identical (we utilized the latest in cloning technology), so you know what you’re getting. Retail price: $49.99, which means the winner of this weekend’s $50 eGift card giveaway will be able to get one.
NOTE: Existing Rent-A-Tabby customers receive a 30% discount (limit 1 per customer).
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. ๐ 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! ๐ 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.”

I skipped breakfast this morning – i know a big NoNo, but felt like sleeping in.
I’m hoping that ur feeling better Karen! Take as much time u need to figure out what u need, want & don’t need in ur life! Best, Squeaky!
hey!! i hope i win, its a great giveaway. I’ve been saving up my money to go to sephora!! it’s kinda expensive, so i can only go like every 6 months ๐
Should I even try anymore?
Hey Karen! I love your blog i check it daily! Thanks so much for writing it!
If it were only true that we could get a cloned Tabs!
I can’t wait 2 c the amazing spiderman!!
I am currently loving the Pacifica Lip Quenches. They provide a bit of color, and they smell great! They also moisturize quite well. I like buying them with the Take Me There sets – where I can get lotion and a rollerball in the same scent for under $20! Great deal!
breakfast was eggs and toast, made by darling hubby for once ๐ yay!
ty for the giveaway!
I have a new found crush after watching Magic Mike, Channing Tatum. How come I’ve never seen his work till now? Oh, it’s all the abs and ass.
Tango and Muffin LOVE Greenies for cats! I have to stock up whenever I have access to it, because here it’s not!
This is turning out to be a HOT Summer so far.. Too Hot รขโขยฅ

I would love to have my very own husky tabby! I’d also love to shop at that Sephora – I want to ask that unicorn what he’s using on that silky mane. ๐
Found a generic beauty blender at TJ Maxx today for $4.99. Super excited considering they cost about $10 a piece! Love using the sponge to get an even coverage with my foundation! Have a great weekend!
My beloved 8 year old Budgie passed away this last week ๐
Lisa Brown,I am so very sorry for your loss.
Thanks as always for the Sephora giveaway,Karen
Holy cow, I think I have pink eye. That means… *dramatic pause* NO MAKEUP!!! (background horror movie screams) What on earth will I do? What a sad day. Wear some extra for me today, okay?
Not sure I can get my own TABS. My two dogs, who are not cat friendly, might think he was a new toy.
On to eyebrows. Nope, not happy at all. Thyroid problems have thinned them considerably and if I don’t dye them (Just for Men works great!) and fill in with pencil I look dead. Have been thinking about using Rogaine on them–just worried that it might drip into my eyes.
I would love to paint my dogs nails! Maybe I can find some polish at Sephora
Thanks for the giveaway! I am NEVER happy with my eyebrows…I just grew them back in and while my right one is cool, my left one is super finicky and kind of a brat. UGH.
meghan recently posted … What do we mean when we talk about: trigger warnings
Nothing much planned for the weekend. Just spending quality time with bf who leaves for another city for the next few months for work on tuesday ๐ On the upside, I’m quite happy with my brows right now ๐
Ankita@corallista recently posted … Inglot Pigment Powders : Complete shade range and Price Info
I have a dog and he loves treats by a company called Milo’s. They don’t use any fillers, I think, and so their food is tastier (and with flavors like beef jerky and beef sausage, I want to take a bite every time I open the bag).
Hey Karen! I haven’t even ate breakfast yet, because I slept SO late last night that I just woke up…and I live in the East Coast, so that makes it 2 pm! I know I know, CRAZY. Though, I must admit it feels good to wake up this late! I’ll probably skip the eggs and go straight for some lunch! Hope you have a great weekend ๐
I have an ever-growing wish list on Sephora-particularly with value kits from Tarte and Bare Minerals! I can only afford to get something every once in a while so I love getting the kits because you get a lot of bang for your buck and get to try new things that way….
Hi there! Our family just watched the 4th of July Parade! It was great!
I need to go for a run (trying to train for the Nike Women’s Half-Marathon) – but I’m still pooped from a four mile hike we did yesterday!
Ugh, why does it seem like my eyebrows are always a work in progress? This time I swear they’re going to come out perfect!
We had a nice lazy morning at the farmer’s market. There’s a stand that has the best crepes! Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. Have a good weekend.

Toast for breakfast, quick and easy!
I had crescent rolls for breakfast.

A Tabs line at Sephora would be awesome!!
A sephora Gift card win would certainly brighten my day, and the way things have been going this past few weeks, I really need a bright spot.

Can’t do much this weekend my mouth is swollen do my wisdom tooth. I have to wait for the swelling to go down before I can extract it ๐

Soft paws and kisses to Tabster T-money!

My DH is making me breakfast yaaay ๐ Thanks for the super giveaway!

I found a new perfume I like!
I had a protein shake for breakfast.
I am so loving the Urban Decay fall eyeshadow palette!
Breakfast was with my visiting family at a tremendous bakery nearby.

went to look at kitties today! they are all so cute, I’m just not sure which one to adopt yet, but am excited about it after losing my kitty earlier this month. I urge anyone one with pets to please treasure everyday that you have with them.
Hi Karen!
I got my TPT shots yesterday, so I’m feeling a wee sensitive. Owie.
My co-worker brought in donuts today to work so I had a nice big chocolate donut. ๐

I love the Pegasus!
Just trying to keep cool in our 100 degree heat.
Today was the first day I’ve worn makeup in 6 days. I’ve been so sick I haven’t even left the house.
Haha, well I don’t need another cat. I’ve got two at home and one at work. But it’s nice to see that there’s a new range of plus-sized tabbies. Now maybe silly people will stop calling the poor, average-sized cat at work fat!
(One of my cats at home has been as heavy as 25lbs, makes work cat seem like a tiny kitteny thing.)
Not wearing much make up lately since it’s been so hot and humid outside and the make up melts right off.
I can’t live without my eggs and rice, along with Chanel cosmetics too!
I Just got Clinique’s new “stay-matte” foundation- it’s fantastic!
I’ve been following this fantastic Blog for a while and would love the chance for a $50 Gift Card from the superb Sephora.

I don’t love my eyebrows. I think they got tweezed into the wrong shape when I was young and now they aren’t bold enough. ๐
pick meeeee!! ๐
I wish you would review L’oreal True Match foundation, Karen.
I LOVE sephora!!
Loving Buxom’s white russian right now!
As always, thanks for your daily makeup news! I’m wearing Urban Decay’s Super Saturated High Gloss lip pencil in Crush (hot pin). This stuff really stays on a long time. I was surprised a Pencil Lipstick would work this way, but it’s great! Thanks for the contest! Love your beauty blog.
I would LOVE to get out of the house right now and shop at Sephora. I’m sick with a nasty cold. It’s bad enough to have one, but I can’t even take any cold medication because I’m pregnant. SO NOT FAIR.
Just getting in from working on a beautiful Saturday…
Peanut butter on an english muffin!
Lush’s Honey Trap!
Love!
I used my 20% off coupon at Ulta with a $3.50 off $10 and a BOGO50% off sale to get all of the new L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadows for about $30! ๐ Pretty exciting to get 6 of these for less than the price of one Armani Eyes to Kill!!
Thanks for another great giveaway!!
This summer i am loving bright nail polishes, with a dark accent finger.
OMG, I need that Tabs clone! Fingers crossed!
i am wearing eos lip balm…it is soo good!
I am wearing Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in Libertรยฉ! It’s a pretty gorgeous warm coral.

My beauty wishlist includes Tarte Smooth Operator, some of the new Urban Decay eyeshadows, Beauty Blender Pure Kit and Zpalettes.
Still hoping to win this one day!
I have to study for my boards this weekend and every weekend until my exam dates in August. Not exactly the summer that I had in mind. But it will feel great when it is all over! As long as I pass…. Anyways, I am looking to pick up a couple things from the MAC Heavenly Creatures launch if I can put away any money. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
I tried barre workout for the first time this morning! It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life!
your tabby for sephora and rent a tabby made me laugh so much while reading it!
Took the boys to see Madagascar 3 today – fun movie!
I’d be so happy if I won this! ๐

Right now the new Revlon balm stains are on my wish list.
Clarisonic is on top of my beauty wishlist.
Love your blog! And nothing for breakfast and Tarte lipsurgence in Hope on my lips right now ๐
I made myself eggs with green peppers and garlic rice. I took my dog to the groomer for the first time today and now he looks like a fluffy cub! ๐
Watching the Sundance channel today!
Favorite treat: two of my cats love bonito flakes; the third hates them. She like commercial kitty treats, like Temptations milk flavor.
I’m heading to DC this Tuesday and I just can’t contain my excitement over trying cupcakes from like every single cupcake shop in the city. YES!
My chihuahua Pete loves the chicken and rice sticks from Trader Joe’s. It’s his favorite!
Wearing nothing on my lips right now – I just got off work, and I was running so late this morning that I didn’t make it that far down my face in my makeup routine!
I’m getting my MBA, so I need to win as much freebies as I can. =) I gotta spend less and save more. Extreme couponing here I go!!
Thanks again Karen! Next on my wishlist… Hourglass Eyeshadow Duo in Gypsy! It looks like perfection in pan form ๐

I have a mildly retarded cat named Mia – she loves meatballs!
I am addicted to mcnuggets. It’s the best guilty pleasure food……ever.
Nars tinted moisturizer on my wishlist!
Only things on my list are MAC brushes! I need them all!
Thanks Karen! ๐
I am wearing the revlon just bitten kissable lipstain in sweet heart valentine. It is super stunning and bright for summertime! ๐
I am pretty happy with my eyebrows. They’re really dark and pretty even, so I never really feel a need to fill them in or anything. As long as I keep the unibrow at bay, they’re usually quite well-behaved ๐
I’ve got on Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop. It’s too hot for actual lipstick
Had to make a large batch of biscuits and gravy for our neighborhood block party. I was so frustrated that the gravy wouldn’t thicken so I just gave up and walked away. Went back 15-30 minutes and it thickened on its own! WIN ๐
Today’s my birthday! I’m 22!
Tomorrow begins my birthday month and I like to reward myself by heading to Sephora. This year, I’m turning the big 2-5 and heading off to med school. Before I do, I’m dyiiiinnnggg to spend my last pennies on a clarisonic face brush. I think with the stress of school, I’m going to need the extra help to keep breakouts at bay. Thanks for having these giveaways Karen!!!
I have two goats and I always get MAULED for Cheerios. The horses like them too, but they don’t cause bruises.
Oooh, I hope I win!!!! I desperately want my own Tabs ๐
I haven’t shopped for beauty products in several months due to trying to get my finances in order. Boy oh boy could I use a Sephora shopping spree.
I really want a puppy ๐
I’m super excited to try the new urban decay palette ๐
Hi Karen, I love how much you love your kitty!
Sigh nutter butters for breakfast this morning
My kitty (who looks a lot like yours) loves bonito! I think it’s a lot healthier than processed treats from the store ๐
I am only happy with my brows when they’re filled in with MAC’s impeccable brow pencil! It’s being discontinued though… So I’ll have to hunt around Sephora for a suitable replacement ๐
I like makeup!
Currently sporting Nuxe Reve de Miel on my lips. My wishlist is too long to post – but a few things at the top are Illamasqua blushes in Naked Rose & Nymph, REN Pore Minimising Detox Mask & Dior Addict Extreme lipstick.
Today was supposed to be a trip to the mall but plans were derailed. Now, I get to plan a better trip to haul some items.
Those Midwest storms hit us hard today, but luckily we are still with power and I can read MBB!
I hate my eyebrows. They are blonde, sparse and hard to see. I have to be very careful when filling them in with pencil or powder to avoid making them look too fake ๐
I actually dreamed about Sephora last night. Coincidence? I think not.
I skipped breakfast, but had BBQ ribs and chicken for lunch. ๐
My beauty wishlist is getting larger. A few items are Pacfica fragrance, NYX lipstick in Snow White and China Glaze nail polish.

Boring breakfast this morning: coffee and multigrain Cheerios.
I hope you are having a nice weekend!
It’s been a long, hot (Satur)day. I just want a lazy Sunday tomorrow, doing nothing…
I had my usual bowl of cereal and cup of lemon juice this morning. I’m not wearing anything on my lips at the moment. I have nothing special on my beauty wish list, just some items I need to stock up on like Anastasia Brow Wiz or some Jack Black lip balm. My eyebrows are still growing, but they are MUCH improved from last year when I over-plucked them. The shape is close-to-perfect now!
I hope everyone’s weekend is going well.
I need primer! ):
Been too lazy to get it.. I know, I’m terrible!
I want soap and glory’s the scrub of your life, carol’s daughter black vanilla leave-in conditioner, and maybe a facial cleansing brush.
I ran with my parents today! It was hot and blazing, felt amazing afterwards!
your blog is amazinggggg. i love to spend a day just looking through your makeup lol
We recently got a Corgi puppy and he is so incredibly good. It was a long wait to get our Hank but so worth it.
My naughtypants kitty cat got his favorite treat tonight-leftover fish from tonight’s dinner ๐
I would LOVE Anastasia brow wiz!
The sun was so strong today. My skin felt like it was burning badly!
Karen, what did you think of Magic Mike?
I wish you reviewed Trish McEvoy. I swear by her skincare line ๐
Super excited for this giveaway!
I have a long-haired chihuahua named Coco who is absolutely spoiled, stinking rotten and I do take full responsibility for that. ;P
Revlon Lip Butter !
I’m wishing for some items from Too Faced’s Fall collection. I’ve already picked up a few of the La Creme lipsticks, and they are AWESOME! I need to pick up that navy liner you featured the other day! Oh, and since you asked, Whisker Lickins are my chubs’ favorite. ๐
If Tabs is ever looking for a girlfriend, I know a female cat who is just about his size!
I went to MAC today and bought Fanfare lipstick and Expensive Pink eyeshadow. I have to slowly build my makeup collection due to being a poor college student!
Enjoying the color of the year! Orange/coral is not hard to wear. Looks pretty Even on lighter skin tones.
My face/skin’s a lot more oily these past couple of days ๐
My birthday is right around the corner ๐
I am wearing Fresh Sugar Rose on my lips right now! It gives the most perfect, natural tint on my already pigmented lips~ ๐
I look forward to your reviews, but love seeing what Tabs is up to. The Breathe Right Strips for cats is hysterical. They would certainly be used in our house. We never knew cats could snore so loud. Thanks for the heads up with Urban Decay’s Smoked palette! I know a young woman who enjoys Urban Decay and will be hinting for this one.
Yay for Tabs at Sephora!
Woohoo! I hope I win!! I need some new lip glosses in my life….. Thanks for the giveaway!
Yay for Sephora gift card!!!
I love the food at Trader Joes, but why are the hippies so mean? A woman pushed me to get to the trail mix, I kid you not!
Ooh, wishlist…right now I really want something to tame the frizz in my hair!
I just got i really bad haircut today ;(
I wish you a happy Sunday!
Give Tabs a hug for me! Our cat has temporarily vanished into the great outdoors and I’m a little worried about him in the heat. Stay cool!
It’s almost 12;30 AM here in California. Can’t seem to get enough Makeup info!
Hi Karen glad to see you’re back and in good spirits. I love your blog and regular tabs contribution I have a tabby too! I recently got a free estee lauder pure color gloss in pink shimmer with my order of the bronze sands eye palette ( based on your review loved the pictures) it’s a cute pink coral gloss that isn’t sticky. it came as a double wand with the double wear concealer in light medium how cool is that! everything a girl needs gloss and concealer in one!
also I’ve been looking for an eyebrow kit, I’ve tried Benefit’s but would like to try Anastacia or Too Faced ones what do you recommend? thanks for the contest!
I had a mango for breakfast this morning!
Saw Magic Mike tonight. Curious to hear what you thought of it. It was everything I expected (good thing) at the same time nothing I expected (not necessarily good thing).
Greek yogurt with granola for breakfast!
Ice Cream sandwich or Klondike bar?
I had a mint coffee this morning. Yummy!
SEPHORA, woo! I’d love to win and snag up a new shade of lipstick and cheek stain for the summertime, :).
I have a green cheek conure named Poe, and he just LOVES tomatoes.
my very own plus sized tabs! would he have the same personality as well? ๐
This morning, I had coco puffs for breakfast then after that my sister and I made lumpia. And I must say, that was probably the best lumpia I’ve made so far!!
glad you’re feeling better, Karen!
Oh I wish I could buy a Tabs! I’m extremely allergic to cat dander ๐
Been up all night nursing my drunk, now hungover husband. Internet surfing all night long! Lol
today is my birthday:)
I hope they carry the crazy cat lady starter kit
Cheerios with blueberries is my usual summer breakfast. My kitties love Party Mix!
Is this my belated birthday gift?
I LOVE summer!!!!! Popcorn, popsicles and the beach!
I am now wearinf Ducato’s nail polish in strawberry! the color is so amazing, i feel like summer is already here!! (i am in tokyo btw)
I would SO get a Tabs – how does he feel about Pet Greens Chicken Pot Pie crunchy treats? Patches (eight pounds of furry fury) loves those.
I just got a new kitten, he’s grey and white and his name is Liam, he’s such a sweetie.
Currently munching on oatmeal sprinkled with wheat germ. Mmm… good stuff.
my puppy Lola turned 9 yesterday-i’ve had her since she was about 3 weeks old. she would love a customizable kitty kit- a kitty that would allow her to get in a really good sniff. she was born blind and deaf and the only kitty she knows is my mom’s 14 year old orange tabby, Rollo. he won’t let her get close enough to really check him out. she needs to be able to run her nose around him to get an idea of his size whilst sniffing in all the close up kitty goodness. I held him down once and let her sniff him. didn’t last long. have the scars to prove it. oh- did i mention she’s a Great Dane ๐
2 eggs over easy and a piece of wheat toast this morning!
purple monkey dishwasher.
Breakfast is usually oatmeal, toast, fruit, and coffee. As for my eyebrows, I have no idea what happened to them. The left one is kind of sparse compared to the right one. I was never a plucker, so I have no idea what happened. They use to be perfect looking. Have a beautiful day, Karen. Thank you for your blog.
I’m full of chocolate cake, as it’s my husbands 43rd birthday today. ๐

I want to get a new Benefit set that is coming out, I saw it in People’s Style Watch magazine and it has a mini coralista, cha cha tint, sun beam and coralista lip gloss!
So every once in awhile I get bit by this random beauty bug. Random in that I will see or hear about a product I’ve never heard of or been interested in or need and suddenly I’m obsessed. Right now I’m lusting over NARS Monoi de Tahiti Body Glow II. I decided that I need this in my life right now! Stupid random beauty bug!!!!
my dog love mac and cheese ๐
Still haven’t gotten Naked 2 !!!
my eyebrows will need to be waxed again soon!
I would love to get some long-wearing eye shadows and primer (nothing stays on my oily lids)!!
MY 11 months baby still wakes up at night, I don’t sleep, I am exhausteddddd!!! Thank G.D for MAke up!
It’s been a long time I haven’t bought something from Sephora… I want the Philosophy face cleanser! :)))
It would be a nice bday gift (especially that I was sick all my bday… :(…)
I had a wonderful time at a mom and daughter 40th and 60th birthday party last night!
An apple fritter, and it was awesome.
I had a super healthy breakfast this morning: three cups of coffee and some See’s candy. There’s a reason I’m no longer skinny, lol.
I love Sephora! The only deodorant that I have ever used that doesn’t bother me is Clean Original best ever!
I had a coffee and a toast with olive oil, very healthy!
Ah I’m so overdue to throw out my old cosmetics and get some new basics!! Would love to win!
First thing on my wishlist is the Sephora tinted self-tanning face gel!

Karen I adore this photo – Pegasus , unicorn and sephora!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I’ll pass on the Tabs for Sephora model…. although he is a mighty handsome boy, I think one plus-sized half-siamese tabby (aka Princess Java) in the house is enough. Her favorite treat is freeze-dried chicken (Halo’s Liv-a-Littles) Her “sister”, Sahara, likes them, too. I used to be able to find them at Whole Foods, but now I have to order them from Amazon.com….
Haven’t had breakfast yet, but planning on hitting up a local restaurant for brunch soon! ๐
I had French fries for breakfast, while Iggy Pup enjoyed a sausage slice from Milo’s Kitchen. I have an enormous beauty Wishlist, but I think my current number one crush is Estรยฉe Lauder’s Brasil blush in Naughty, which you reviewed a few weeks ago.
I love summer!
I had eggs and grits for breakfast…but it was after my workout, so it all balances out, right?
My cats LOVE the canned moist food covered in gravy! The chicken kind is their favorite!
I’m celebrating my b-day today !!!!
My dog, Gigi, just learned how to sit. ๐
Today I will be gardening and doing lots of work around the house.
I want to go to that Sephora, horses are my favorite animal, oh Karen ur so talented. I shall be watching the Euro Cup finals this afternoon & afterwards cooking sm yummy chicken.
I wish that sephora existed!
I have a lady kitty, her name is Katya. GET IT? Because she’s a cat!
Anyway, she’s about a year old, very hyper, and loves going out on the balcony to mreow at things.
that unicorn reminds me of the film Blade Runner… LOL.
I’m drinking a homemade match green tea latte which, incidentally, matches my summer eyeshadow! Woo hoo!
Karen, you asked so many questions that I want to answer this week! I’ve bought some of MAC Heavenly Creature, and I’m about to get some more when I get paid. And I am really happy with my eyebrows right now. I go to this is awesome, well-priced threading salon, and I think I’ve found my favorite lady who works there! She really shaped them well, and she didn’t try to mess with the natural shape of my edges (which I appreciate since my eyebrows are thick and need help in the cleaning up department more than anything else).
i’m starting to lust for Burberry beauty…
Bagel with cream cheese and some chocolate Farina. And after 1 week of using the Too Faced Natural Face palette as my only base makeup while on the road, I have decided it is HG. Now I am trying to fight the urge to buy 2 backups on the off chance they discontinue it in the next 2 years or the country goes post apocalyptic and I am cut off from sephora/ulta forever…you never know….
If I won a $50 gift card I’d spend it on a few Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural lipsticks. I finally broke down and bought my first one and I love it so much! I wish I could afford the whole line of them but for now that’ll have to remain in my daydreams.
I have no idea what to have for breakfast. Feeling very lazy this morning!
I love the new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains (wow, that’s a mouthful). I’m wearing the one in Lovesick today!
Had an amazing weekend celebrating my friends birthday in the city, plus meeting Jesse McCartney was a plus ๐
I went to the Sephora store today ๐
I’m currently digging the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten – yummy color.
love your blog!
i didn’t have breakfast today
I am loving and usually wearing revlon kissable balm stains these days. My god they are definitely my favorite purchase of the year (i also got the naked 2 and pantone palette a month ago). The pantone is a fun palette for the summer so I’ve been wearing it alot. I like how there is so much color to play with. I do “sunset” color eyes and green and blue.. I’m glad I got it even though the quality isn’t the very best I’ve had.
i need some hourglass in my life!
Hmm pondering what color to paint my nails at the moment. I’ve been doing lots of nudes I’m feeling either something ultra bright or a fall color (so early in teh summer! haha)
this morning for breakfast i had cereal and a blueberry scone! yum!
I like my eyebrows
Beauty “to get” list:
– cheap red lipstick, just to try it. Maybe…
+ Rimmel 01
+ Rimmel Alarm
+ Revlon Really Red
+Revlon Certainly Red
– cheap orange-ish lipstick, just to try it. Maybe…
+ Revlon Kiss Me Coral.
(I’ve never worn bright lipstick before, that’s why I want to get budge brands — in case I chicken out / don’t use them much.)
– Light pink blush. Along the lines of Benefit Dandelion, but more budget. Maybe…
+ ELF Tickled Pink
(I’ve also never worn pink. At all. I’m NC15-20, but yellow toned. I’m also a dark brunette. I didn’t think pink would be my thing…)
I hope you are well Karen!
I’m pale and yellow toned too, and warm pinks are my favorite shades to wear. :3

Just coffee for breakfast today. So bad!
I would like to get the Too Faced romantic Eye Palette its so soft and pretty ๐
I had peanut butter on bread as a quick breakfast and then had a fantastic brunch. I’ve always loved going out to brunch on Sundays.
Your cat is so cool ๐
Looking for a new summer foundation to try….
Love you Karen and Tabs too
I’ve been sick in bed all weekend and I want to feel better soon… maybe tomorrow!
hugs to mr tabs
Right now I’m incredibly unhappy with my eyebrows. My boyfriend used (and promptly lost) my tweezers so my shameful stray eyebrow hairs have grown back in and I’m feeling a little bit more like a yeti than an Yves St. Laurent model.
I had pancakes for breakfast that my sister and I made! Yum!
Yogurt and granola, delicious
It’s raining where I am, so I’m eating ramen.
Spicy noodle soup is always great on a rainy day. (^-^)
I ate zong zi, this traditional chinese snack. It’s basically a glutinous rice ball shaped into a prism wrapped in some sort of leaf ๐
Enjoyed a meatloaf Sunday lunch with my mom and Grammy!
Sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomato, scrambled egg, white pudding, toast and a cup of barrys tea!! Irish breakfasts rock!!
I could use some new brushes!
My favorite yogurt- Trader Joe’s nonfat greek mango yogurt. Yum!
I don’t remember exactly what I ate, but it was airport food. I stayed the night in Barcelona on my way from Stockholm to Brest, and I go to Paris later this week!
I’m way behind in getting this, but I am dying to have the UD Naked palette!
Currently of the 90 plus weather we’ve been having. Hoping for some cooler weather in the near future.
Thrilled I have power but really hoping the trains are running tomorrow
I’m hungry.

Coffee and fruit for breakfast… Hope you’re having a great weekend!
today i was riding the motorcycle with my husband. then i realized i needed to get more Donna Karan Cashmere mist Deodorant.
I have been wanting the Clarisonic for awhile and I am due for new makeup! I am almost completely out of all my foundation, blush, mascara,lipstick.. yikes!
DH made me wonderful scrambled eggs with procuitto and goat cheese. Hits the spot!
I’ll definitely have to go pick up my own Tabs from Sephora if I got that gift card! ๐ I resisted buying makeup from CVS even though I spotted some awesome deals, so I’m pretty proud of myself for not breaking my no-buy. ^^
I just can’t wait for this summer to be over and for my next adventure to begin!
I am soooooooo loving UD’s new Smokey Palette!! Your graphics are INSANE!!

The doctor said I need my tonsils removed. Im scared but im tired of always getting a sore throat
๐
today i am wearing essie Bikini So Teeny. It’s weirdly streaky, actually, but the color is great!
I could really use a gift card to help me feel pretty after working my buns off at my legal internship! It’s killing my skin (from all the stress) so I’ve got my fingers crossed that I can get some nice powder!
This gift card will be a great present for my mom’s birthday. ๐
I just came across your blog today (with the Kate Spade sample sale post), and am enjoying going through the posts.
I wish I had bought a Dior beige Maasai quint when they were available!!
I would buy a naked palette with this! ๐

Today it’s election day in my city! I vote at morning, now we are waiting for the authorities announce who won!!
Right now I’m wearing eos lipbalm in strawberry sorbet.
I have some unfinished business with sephora.
I need to get myself together and start thinking positive.
Looking to buy some bronzer
lip balm and cereal
I also want to have a Sephora gift certificate. The shimmering lipsticks and eye shadows are the products that I always wanted to buy in Sephora. I bought the first gloss last month and it absolutely satisfies me a lot that’s why I wanted to buy a new one again.
My husband and I are planning a trip to Scotland!
Need this so I can play dress up. Meow.
Oh man, Karen, I am not happy with my eyebrows! I have medium brown hair and my eyebrows are so light that they are practically invisible, but look uneven and caked on filled in with eyeshadow or brow pencil. I have to draw in individual hairs every morning with a liquid brow pen! No low-maintenance option for me.
Have a great weekend, Karen! Hope you have a terrific 4th of July this week. ๐
Dayum! It’s hot where I live. My lipstick is melting!
Hi Karen! This morning for breakfast I had a nutella sandwich, can’t go wrong with some nutella! ๐

looking to pick up some Eucerin Redness Relief Night Cream
My chinchillas’ favorite treats are things that are healthy for them – rolled oats, rose hips, vitamin c tablets. They think they’re getting spoiled and I don’t have to worry about them eating too much!
I’m going on a trip to Europe in about a week. It’ll be my first time out of the country, and I hope to shop a lot and eat good food! Oh yeah, and sightseeing and historical monuments and such… I may be more excited for makeup than the Louvre…
I had oatmeal for breakfast this morning!
Breakfast: Fried rice and scrambled eggs — and cannot forget the coffee. Mmm
Currently on my lips: Pucker Ups Strawberry Lip Balm from Sally Beauty!
Weekend Project: I actually just started my makeup box project again, after leaving it to the side for weeks. I just bought this blank wooden (jewelry?) box from Michael’s and I’m painting it; I’ll be using it for my lil collection of eyeshadow palettes.
Pet and his treats: I don’t have a pet, but I’d love to steal my boss’s Abssynian! – he eats EVERYTHING, and I’d say his favorite treat is gnawing at office files ๐ก
Am I happy with my eyebrows: yes ๐ I don’t really care if they aren’t perfectly arched.
Tabs is just the CUTEST!
Mmmm I had the best deep dish pizza for dinner!
This summer I love going to amusement parks!! I LOVE ROLLERCOASTERS~
thanks so much for this giveaway ! aimen ๐
I’m excited for some of the new Nordstrom anniversary sale exclusives!
Also, if you haven’t yet been, I highly recommend Tacolicious in SF. I went there for dinner tonight. So yummy!
Stressed out with school stuff so I bought myself a new lipstick to cheer myself up for the third time. I’m worried this is becoming a habit… =)
Love this blog and love Sephora! Ooh, I want a gift card so bad so that I can get some new foundation!
I really want to get the new urban decay eyeshadows! I’ve been drooling over them but I was just in costa rica so my wallet is empty haha
Just tried some Sally Hansen HD nail polish that I found at the dollar tree. I’m not so sure about the HD part but it’s pretty!
I had a croissant with bacon and eggs!
Through a back-to-MAC, I just picked up the Ravishing lipstick. It’s the perfect coral pink for summer!
My son turns 3 tomorrow! The time has flown by.
My kitten is fluffy!
I had a jalapeno cheese bagel ๐
i have to pay for my new apartment soon! cant afford new treats for myself so this would be lovely.
I can’t seem to stop popping the Werthers, with caramel insides, in my mouth tonight. One in and I flip to another page in your blog. One in …another page. One in…another another…hahaha ACK! One after the other…OMG, they are SO good!!!.
๐ me!
No breakfast this morning… slept right through it!
