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

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. 🙂 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

  2. 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 🙁

  7. 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!

  9. 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.

  14. 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. 😀

  15. 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!

  17. 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?

    Reply

  18. 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.

    Reply

  22. 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).

    Reply

  23. 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 🙂

  24. 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….

  116. 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.)

  126. 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.

  127. 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.

  131. 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! 😀 Pretty exciting to get 6 of these for less than the price of one Armani Eyes to Kill!!

  187. 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 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 🙂

  242. 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.

  275. 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).

  277. 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….

  278. 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.

  286. 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.

  288. 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)

  291. 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!

  341. 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.

  344. 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.

  358. 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!

  359. 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…

  361. 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 😡
    Am I happy with my eyebrows: yes 🙂 I don’t really care if they aren’t perfectly arched.
