G’morning and happy CAT-urday! It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day here in Marin County. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, and I have a great big cup of coffee by my side. Hot — just like the spread Tabs did in Playcat a few years back. 🙂
I don’t have much on my plate today. Nothing exciting, at least. Just some housework, laundry (it never ends!), a workout and my grocery shopping. I’ve been totally on a cooking show kick lately, especially Giada at Home and America’s Test Kitchen, so I have all these ideas for meals I’d like to try.
I’m almost done with Angelfall, that young adult book with the fallen angels in it. Turned out to be pretty darn good. If time permits, I might also take another crack at that purple smokey eye from Make Up For Ever’s fall campaign.
Hope your weekend got off to a good start. Before you click away, have you entered this weekend’s Sephora eGift card giveaway? If you win it’s $50. Enough for a well-deserved treat.

Never had braces!
I always have deodorant in my purse.. hey, living in So Cal, you never know when you’ll need it.
I’ve always wanted to love bronzer, I still do want to, but sadly I just can’t seem to make it work for my face shape :/
Watching last day of Olympics…kinda sad it’s over.
Sephora better launch another T-money collection, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for it :).
I wear blush every time I wear makeup, because I find just a pinch of it makes my cheeks way more sculpted!

I love cooking shows, but unfortunately, they make me hungry… & I’m a terrible cook, besides. >:
Karen, thanks for the chance to win!
My must-have beauty product is sunscreen and I always keep some in my purse.
I always wear blush (if I’m wearing makeup) – it’s just about my favorite product!

I don’t wear bronzer bc I never use it the right way.
I remember during freshman year, my friends and I were always watching the food network. lol
Hi Karen & Tabs! I would luh-luh-love a sephora gift card…hint hint. Your Saturday sounds perfectly mellow! I should be doing laundry/grocery shopping but I can’t seem to stop watching Olympic rhythmic gymnastic finals. Celeb crush? Ryan Renolds! I can’t live without my MAC lipgloss in pinkarat always in purse, I wore braces twice (still bitter about it), I wear blush every day but only wear bronzer after a beach trip.
I love matte blush.
I wore braces for 3 years in high school. They were a pain ….. LITERALLY !
W mag, knitting books laundry almost folded, pleasant Saturday afternoon
I’ve hauled a few things from Tarte when they had their 30% off sale and a lot of Urban Decay’s reformulated eyeshadows. I really need to stop buying eyeshadows, but I just can’t resist the gorgeous metallic finish. *sigh
I never wore braces but I wish I had!
I’m wearing braces right now!
I hate bronzer I don’t think I can ever pull it off, I love benetint I try to use it everyday. I always have Mac cremesheen in richer lusher in my purse and Korres pomegranate lip butter in my purse
I’ve never had braces.
Woohoo! Paying for classes…
i love your blog, it keeps me updated on new products!!
Hey Karen,
Saturday means I am working of course…
You remember I am sure that i have a blush obsession so I wear it every time I put make up on…I am not a fan of bronzers but I do add some highlighter on the top of my cheeks. Currently MAC Superb is my favorite.
Have a great weekend!
i’m a teacher and the school year is about to start. talk about stress!
Always have lipstick in my purse, always!
Revlon lip butter is always in my bag lately, along with something for oil – blotting paper, mattifier, or pressed powder
I love cooking shows. You get so many new good ideas and it is so much fun to try new recipes.
Celebrity crush would be Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy.
I just transferred two prescriptions online. Behold the power of the internets!
I love cooking shows. The Barefoot Contessa is my favorite. I also love Tyler Florence, back when he did “Tyler’s Ultimate.”
Finally bought the Urban Decay smokey palette! Love it…can’t wait to try out some of the smokey eye looks.
Once I fall in love with a certain blush, I’ll wear it everyday!
I was the first kid in my class to wear braces and I thought they were so cool.
There’s this cooking show called Bitchin’ Kitchen. It’s…really out there. I get a huge kick out of it.
I’m trying out a new mascara – fingers crossed that it doesn’t smudge on me!
I just got done pinning a whole bunch of recipes on pinterest so it’s time I get some lunch in my tummy!
I don’t like bronzer, but I always wear a touch of blush whenever I do my makeup.
Summer seems to be just starting for the PNW XD
blush doesn’t really work for me, unless it is super super pale and light, and i used to like brozner but I dont think it works for me anymore, i’m more of a highlighter person
I enjoy just a touch of bronzer to slim the face!
I LOVE cooking shows, I feel like I could watch them all day if left to my own devices. I have to say, I’m not a great cook, but it has certainly made me more creative in the kitchen!
I ALWAYS carry my MAC tinted lip conditioners with me (Petting Pink and Coquettish Clarice) – it’s a must have for me! Blush I wear on an everyday basis to give a nice flush of color and to brighten up my face. I don’t wear bronzer because it just doesn’t work for me.
I never had braces but I wish I had. My husband keeps telling me I could get them now, but I almost wonder what the point is. I’d rather spend that money on lasik surgery.
I hate to cook..and hence, I can’t even stand cooking shows..but I cook very well.. :)…now, since I am travelling to India very soon, I won’t even need to know where the kitchen is…I have such a huge family..i wear blush everyday…and I am content being a human…the lines “bronze goddess” are not for me..my current celebrity crush is Sonam Kapoor…I love love the way she dresses..!And yeah about braces-never ever… :).. Thanks Karen for the giveaway…this is my last chance to win this ecard before I travel to India…
I love your blog! Your reviews are always excellent.
PS Mascara and lash curler are ALWAYS in my purse 😉
I think I’m still trying to master the right way to apply bronzed-I really like it but always feel like I don’t know where to put it!
I love America’s Test Kitchen.
I love Iron Chef America!!
I’m obsessed with Dior’s Golden Savannah eyeshadow palette. I really hope Sephora gets it.
had braces as a teenager (forced my parents into getting them for me because every other kid had them – even though my teeth were mostly straight). that reminds me, i need to wear my retainer more regularly!
I’m finding I can’t leave the house without blush on. Its what makes me look like I’m actually awake.
So glad its the weekend, but i’m a little upset the olympics end this tomorrow = /
I got brunette hair dye on my mom’s white carpet. I’m so screwed. (It didn’t come out even with good housekeeping’s stain removal tips).
love sephora- thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I am obsessed with cooking shows. I watch Food network and Cooking channel quite a bit. My favorite show is Good Eats. Love the mix of food and science…. Plus Alton is a total hottie!
Enjoying my Saturday … Eating nutella out the container with my fingers, catching up on my google reader, watching the hubs play call of duty.
I love/hate cooking shows. on the one hand, it’s really interesting to how creative people can be with foods, but I want a bite of everything! I heard recently that there is a legally blind woman on Master Chef who is actually quite talented, which I think is pretty cool.
I’ve had braces twice, wear a retainer every night, and my teeth still move 🙁
it was such an ordeal to get them the first time around because my teeth are rather large. I had to get four adult teeth removed before braces, then later on had all four wisdom teeth that needed removal as well. teeth problems were the bane of my existence when I was younger!

Got a paper due on Monday and I’m not even halfway done yet! Gaah! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Love that you’re a cat person, too. I lost my beloved Ebenezer this week – he was 19 years old (older than my daughter!) and so we had a lot of history together. Very sad, of course. Take good care of that “Tabs” of yours and cherish every minute you have with him! Here’s my tweet link: https://twitter.com/TwirlyGirly1/status/234357116700352512
I miss my baby kitty Beanie who just passed away 🙁
I wore braces. My children are now following in my footsteps! Thanks for the giveaway!
About to watch the last day of the Olympics esp the Track and Field segment.
I love cooking shows! Anything Top Chef, Chopped, and Around the World in 80 Plates are my favorites.
My newest celebrity crush is Lex Medlin who plays Judge Owen French on Drop Dead Diva. I just think he’s super cute & I love the way he plays the character. I still have yet to see anything else of his work. The funny thing is, Drop Dead Diva is the kind of show I usually do not watch, but I actually really like it and Lex.
I ALWAYS have at least two lip pies in my purse. One nude, one bright.
I started wearing blush about a month ago
I never wear blush- no matter how light a dusting any MUA places on my face, I look really clownish! 🙁
Blush is a daily beauty product for me – don’t leave home without it on! I enjoy cooking shows – watching often jumpstarts the creative juices flowing for something to be made in the kitchen.
Hi Karen! I hope you, Tabs, and your Hubby are having a great weekend!
I just discovered the wonders of bronzer. I use to shy away from that and blush because I’ve seen them both applied horribly. I realized you don’t have to cake it on. You can look natural, but better, when you wear bronzer or blush or both together.
My current celebrity crush is Jeremy Renner. He’s a good looking, talented actor, that you could take about makeup with. What’s more to love? I also have always loved Robert Downey Jr.
I tweeted about the giveaway here https://mobile.twitter.com/rileymariesmom/status/234363191126269952
Wheee I love these 🙂 So sad that the Olympics will be over soon!
Just baked a chocolate cake for my husband!
Happy Saturday! My one thing that I always keep in my purse is lip balm, it drives me crazy to not have anything on my lips. Also, my newest celeb crush is that guy from This Means War, Warrior, Inception & The Dark Knight Rises. I have to learn his name lol
My celebrity crush was Larenz Tate!!!…. Think about the movie “Love Jones!”…enough said.
I need blush every day. Otherwise I look way too pale. I’m always on the lookout for the perfect blush though. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway – have a good weekend.
I never really saw the point of blush, being of the fair-skinned rosy-cheeked variety, but somewhere between college and starting a full-time job some years ago, I realized there were some days I legitimately needed a good pick-me-up in the face. And now I don’t leave the house without at least a dusting of Dandelion or Sugarbomb. 🙂 On the days I really need it, Tarte’s Flush is AMAZING and puts life back on my face. That should be good, right? Of course not. Now I’ve started getting into NARS blushes (I’ve always been in love with Orgasm and its lovely glow). Amour and Outlaw have been added to my collection and I have to say…they’re lovely. NARS’ formula is just fantastic.
Hi Karen!
I’ve never had braces. I enjoy cooking shows but never have the opportunity to watch them; don’t have enough time for tv.
I LOVE blush. NARS is obviously my favorite but I also like Tarte, MAC, and Benefit. I recently started playing with bronzer. As an NC42 its hard to find a good one. I like Too Faced Chocolate Soliel.
I love cooking shows!
Blush is my kryptonite! I fall to my knees and break out my wallet every time.
I have no money for makeup! poor me!
I wore braces for 3 years. I just got it off a month ago.

As soon as you posted about the book Angelfall the other day, I downloaded it and read it immediately that night and the following day. It was so good! Thanks for posting about it!
Always have my Revlon lip butter in pink truffle on me :3
Love reading your blog. Whenever I am in the market for new cosmetics, I check out your product reviews! They are invaluable :).
My long time celebrity crush is Channing Tatum.
I’ve been cooking more lately, as well.. one of my favorite blogs to reference is thepioneerwoman.com..however, even if i follow recipes to a T, my food never ever turns out right!! very frustrating!!
oh and for blush…ALWAYS! always, always, always, ALWAYS! i look dead without it!
I had braces for, like, 4 years, and my teeth are still not aligned perfectly well… I hated it so much!! It almost gave me a dentist phobia… aah being a teenager sucked sometimes.
I wear blush whenever I do any makeup at all, which is usually almost everyday.
Lulle recently posted … Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain vs. Clinique Chubby Stick: the battle!
I always have at least one lip balm in my purse.
I like some cooking shows – my favorites are “Good Eats” reruns and anything hosted by Nigella Lawson 🙂
I had braces three times. I’ve had pretty much every dental procedure ever, though (except for having a tooth pulled, thank goodness!).
I just got the new Guerlain lipstick/gloss/stain! Love it!
Watching old Quantum leap episodes today!
I love me some johnny Depp and Matthew mcconaughey
i had braces and while it wasn’t pretty and grateful because i had a really awful mouth. they wanted me to do surgery to fix my overbite and that’s when i said no way… so i have straight teeth but an overbite. not a big deal at all. a little character never hurt anyone.
I love cooking shows 🙂 Food Network is one of my favorite channels. I always have a lip product (Jack Black Lip Balm). I used to wear braces, one of the worst times of my life..
do you like cooking shows? Yes, Love the Barefoot Contessa, she makes everything look so simple.
Who’s your current celebrity crush? Lara Spencer
What’s one beauty product that’s always in your purse? Lip Gloss
Did you wear braces? No
How often do you wear blush? Always
What’s your stance on bronzer? It’s better than tanning
hmm.. i haven’t worn blush in awhile. i have some cream and powder but i never used the cream because it comes off so bright on my face, i totally wasted a lot of money on that. Now i’m too lazy to put on anything beyond foundation. If i win i would use it to buy skin care, because I want to have a fresh face look.
Definitely had braces. Not a lot of fun and my teeth shifted afterward again. Kinda not worth it.
Thank you for another great giveaway opportunity Karen!
I always have several lip products in my purse. Gloss, balm, lipstick. I hardly use them, but I always carry them just in case. I’m not sure what “in case” is. Some kind of lip emergency I guess. lol
I always carry several lip products in my purse. A lip balm I put on multiple times everyday , lip gloss I hardly ever wear, and a lipstick “for special occasions”.
I also have a pressed powder which I never use except for the mirror.
I wore braces.
Love me some Sephora and your blog!
I’m going bowling with my MC friends!
I really only wear bronzer as a contour, not all over.
Celebrity crushes… mmm, currently I’m loving Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, and Marina Diamandis!

I won’t go anywhere without lipgloss! Even if I’m running late and forget it, I always run back into the house to grab it.
Ugh, I NEVER get to wear blush! It’s no fair. 🙁 I have rosacea so unless I lay on the liquid foundation in multiple layers, I’m always flushed. Some of my friends have told me it’s fantastic because they hate putting on blush to get that flushed look. My problem is that mine isn’t the adorable just-on-the-apple-of-my-cheeks kind of flush, it’s the “I put on blush really heavy then it rained so it’s streaming down the sides of my mouth” flush. And forget doing anything more strenuous than walking a block or two, the second I start building up my heart rate, I look like I have a fever.
Could really use a pick-me-up. I always wind up spending my store gift cards on my husband & son. Would love to win this one so I wouldn’t get coaxed into spending it on someone else!! lol
I wear blush every day, but I just can’t figure out bronzer! Where do I put it? Do I want it to be seen, or is it something I need to blend, blend, blend? I’m a complete bronzer newb! LOL
The one product I always have in my purse is eyeliner. I love that stuff.
I love blush, but it’s the one product I always forget about applying in the morning. I should wear it more often because I’m quite pale.
I rarely use bronzer only because I’m so pale and I end up looking dirty instead of tan.
The only cooking show I watch is Pioneer Woman. Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! Try to stay cool on this heatwave weekend!
OMG! I didn’t know the Pioneer Woman had a cooking show. I’ve read her books and must check this out! I learn about so much more than makeup from this blog.
My current celebrity crush is Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad. His combination of pathos and charisma is hard to resist and I always want to give him a hug! Great actor!
I need a new foundation but can’t decide which to get next! I’m interested in the new Urban Decay Naked Skin, Tarte Amazonian Clay or Chanel Lumineire…

HIYA, Karen! I have been following Tabs the Cat (and you, of course) for quite some time. My husband is always wondering where my fascination with makeup and beauty products comes from and I would have to say that it has been cultivated by you! LOL. Yours was the first beauty blog I ever read and I am still a loyal reader today! Thank you! 🙂
I love cooking shows especially Giada!

Wore braces. Need them again.

I wear bronzer as blush. I wore braces and two of my kids wore braces.
i love cooking shows too, but they always make me so hungry! 🙂
Hi Tabs! *waves*
I enjoy the pictures in your blog!
Yup, had braces! ughhhhh
Is it sad that I’m worrying that summer is close to ending because I haven’t worn all my bright lipsticks and nail polishes yet?

Watching Taboo on Nat Geo – love this show!
Thanks for such a great blog! Love your unsung hero articles 🙂
I don’t have braces and I never thought I’d say this, but I REALLY want them! I was so stupid–after years of having braces in middle school, I had *perfect* teeth (sigh…I miss them so) but being the dummy that I am, I proceeded to wear my retainer once after getting them off and then never wore them again. Now, after my wisdom teeth have mostly grown in, they’ve pushed all my teeth forward–mainly my bottom ones. So i’ve got some gnarly crooked bottom teeth and a pretty bad overbite on top :/ I REALLY really want to get them fixed. WHYYY are braces so expensive!!!!
Hi Karen! Ok, here’s my current list of celebrity crushes: Chris Hemsworth, Sam Worthington, JEREMY RENNER (just recently) and Keifer Sutherland (for eva!) LOL! Have a great weekend!
Sitting here by the window with my Dad @ Aunt, eating fresh veggie steamed buns. Happy Caturday, Karen!
Ill be downloading that book ASAP!
I wear bronzer almost every day, as long as it’s a matte bronzer. I don’t do shimmer.
Hi there Karen & Tabs!
First of all: Karen, I love your blog although you were the reason my wallet gets slimmer and slimmer and my makeup drawer cabinet flows over with stuff…. In that cabinet, you can find a couple of blushes, my alltime favourite is benefits coralista! Bronzerwise I’m also a benefit girl: Hoola, cause it’s neither leaning too warm nor too cold, I don’t use it everyday though!
My celebrity crush is Adam Rodriguez of CSI Miami, good Lord, he is SO hot, grrrrr!!
Have a great Sunday and keep up the great work!
Hugs, Verena
I love cooking shows! I really like Nadia G from Bitchin Kitchen! I also like watching people compete like on MasterChef! Thanks for the opportunity to win !
I wear blush everyday. I don’t watch cooking shows, but I like fashion shows.
I love cooking shows as well! Giada & America’s Test Kitchen are two of my favorites 🙂
No crush, but dang…. Ryan lochte and some of the other olympic swimmers…. Hello!?! Nice abs!!!!! 🙂
Hey Karen! I went to watch Bourne Legacy this morning at 9:30AM! I didn’t even know that the theater opened that early! Anyway, I really liked it! Have you seen it yet??
I love watching Giada!
I love watching “Chopped”! Except it always makes me hungry lol.
My kitty is waiting for his breakfast!
I LOVE cooking shows. I particularly love to watch them at the gym. 😀

Current celebrity crush? Christian from the Australiian show Dance Academy! It’s a bit cheesy, but I love it anyway.
Hi Karen – I love your blog. Hmmmmm, celebrity crushes are as follows: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (just all around yums), Matt Smith (aDORKable), Aaron Paul (LOVE his voice), Ken Jeong (can we say funny), Byung-hun Lee (awesome actor and he is just delish), Kenichi Matsuyama (L – enough said), lead singer Pasha from Ungu (his voice breaks my heart), Gerard Way (my goth boy forever and ever), and Dominic Purcell (my dreamy muscle man). I know, I know….a strange mix of dudes, but I truly LUST after them all!!!!!!
I think I’m married to Man VS Food. My husband’s dream job would be to work for Diners, Drive Ins and Dives! I love makeup as much as he loves food. I am always looking for my next favourite mascara.
I am so sad.
Karen, if you were only permitted to wear one brand of makeup for the next year, which brand would you choose?
-Chelsea
love your blog!
I wish I could wear blush better, my skin is so ruddy so it looks ridiculous to add blush on top of ruddiness. I really do love pinky golds and peachy gold shades so some days I try to do a really good job concealing the redness and add a tiny bit of blush.
I have an on-again, off-again relationship with cooking shows. Currently, I’m in the off phase but, I did catch some if Rick Bayless’s show on PBS last week and it was awesome.
I love wearing just a little blush. I don’t like the very heavy blush on me but a little just finishes off my makeup.
https://twitter.com/GodChild81MA/status/234425796150841344 twitter link
I do wear blush almost everyday. If I am leaving the house of course. The fab item I don’t leave with is my blush.
I finally found Pukka tea at my local supermarket! I’m so excited to finally try it after seeing the yummy pictures on your blog. 😀
I’m testing out Tarte Airbrush Marajuca Bouncy Blush in Shimmering Poppy…whew…long name..at the moment. So far I really like the color. They say it’s like a cream blush version of Amused. Loving it so far.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG YOUR BLOG.
READ IT EVERYDAY !!!! :)))
Hey Karen!
I think your blog is fabulous! Actually, so does Charcoal (Char Char)! We are both big fans of you and Tabs!! I think they would be great fashionista friends! Our favorite item would have to be Urban Decay’s 24/7 eyeliner in perversion. Char can’t resist a good cat eye. 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend!!
I love watching cooking show !!!!
I have braces now 🙁
I like cooking shows only if they are about desserts. 🙂
Always lip balm in my purse.
Sephora = awesome
karen, have you reviewed the kat von d line? i really wanna try her new foundation!
Yes, I love cooking shows! I have to avoid them because, when I’m watching, I just end up thinking about how much I want all the drool-worthy food RIGHT at that moment. I love Giada and Nigella’s shows.
I’m sitting here reading your blog and all of the sudden my front door swings open….in walks my 13 yr old from his trip to the store up the street. It’s times like this that I don’t mind having a teenager….other times, it’s war LOL
I can’t believe I’m cooking on a Saturday night. It’s been a while. This should be good 🙂
i’m eating passionfruit macarons yummmmmmmmmmmm…=DDD
i love cooking shows, EXCEPT when they feature the chefs who authored my favourite cookbooks! a strange thing, but i can’t stand to watch nigella lawson or jamie oliver’s shows!
I love cooking shows, even though I don’t do much real cooking (massive lack of time). Watching them makes me feel as if I’m doing some real cooking, though! 🙂
I wore braces for 3 years or so. I do not miss them. Not even a little. 😀
its one of my personal goals in life to have a cat like Tabs.
Love me some Jeremy Renner, mmmmmmmmmm!
I’ve lately fallen in love with bronzer. My collection is growing rapidly! Favorites are Lush’s Charisma skin tint, Hard Candy Tropics baked bronzer, and NYC Sunny powder for contouring.
Yeah!
I think you need to share the picture of Tabs in Playcat. Funny stuff.
I used to watch cooking shows like crazy. And then they cancelled Good Eats. And I stopped watching Food Network. 🙁
I love to wear blush is my fave! Can’t live with out it.
Thanks for the giveaway
I like older cooking shows where the host actually cooked. Nowadays it seems like they do little cooking and lots of party prepping or guest interviews.
I love the food network. when there’s nothing specific I want to watch I always turn to the food network. I can watch it all day that it’s actually not healthy…haha
I did have braces.
PRAYING TO HAVE SOME LUCK THiS TiME!!!! 🙂

I love cooking competition shows more than mere cooking shows. My favorites are Iron Chef Amerca and Cupcake Wars.
I love blush and own several different colors. However, I’ve never been able to get into bronzer.
Cooking shows are getting old. Getting recipes off of blogs are more interesting. I trust the blogger, the recipes always come out food.

I love cooking shows! The hubs and I are addicted to Master Chef!
I like Pandas! 🙂
I love cooking shows and always keep a gloss stick in my purse
OMG, just watched season 4 of doctor who and cried my eyes out, best show ever but it hurts so much to love.
Yesterday I left the vanity door open and I came later, forgot it was dark and hit my head so so hard! I cryed like a little girl!! :S

You must try Giada’s recipe for turkey meatloaf with feta cheese & sundried tomatoes. It is to die for!
I wear blush everyday, I feel so monochromatic and blah if I dont wear it!
Cooking shows are my favorite! I enjoy watching bitchen kitchen. It cracks me up. “how to put your mate on a diet” LOL Nadia comes up with some great themes that are such a nice refresher from “im having a fabulous dinner party for my fabulous friends.” Wish it was on now!
Hope I win! Indulging in some make-up would make my sinus infection feel much better!!

I love competition cooking shows. Its inspiring to see what delicious concoctions the contestants make!
More of a food/travel show than a cooking show, but I love Anthony Bourdane’s No Reservations. It’s always really interesting and makes me crave everything he eats.
I always have lip balm or travel size Vaseline in my purse! My lips get chapped super easily and chapped lips aren’t attractive on anyone!
I always have lip gloss on me!
I just got a cryptic text from my coworker saying “No and sorry I didn’t mean to get you in trouble”…. now I’m terrified my boss is pissed off at me.
What beautiful weather we are finally having in Chicago! I hope it lasts!
Tabs, I just had my 2nd fitting (wedding gown) today and finally felt excited about my wedding in November!
Thanks for the contest! Yesterday night I had to get stitches so if I won it would be an appreciated change of luck 🙂

My favorite cooking show is “Chopped!” You should watch it Karen!
Go Sephora! Go Karen! I think I have found my HG bronzer after buying dozens for years………Josie Maran Brightening Bronzer. Can’t really say why it works so well, but it just goes on like butter! I use a big Sephora bronzer brush and voila. Contouring. Thanks for all the contests. ONe day I hope to win! Big VIP event next weekend I think….
hmm i’ve really been eyeing the new tarte palette, here goes nothing… 🙂

Brought new fashionable collars to my kitties today. They look fierce, heehee!
I’m sad Tokidoki is departing Sephora 🙁 I just bought their lip balm stain in Skeletrina and it’s amazing!! Also, Wow to Kat Von Ds lock it foundation – I haven’t tried liquid foundation in 15 years but I got a sample and my life has now changed for the better!
I always carry at least one lipstick/tinted balm with me. Once I cleaned out a purse to find 10 lipsticks though!
Rupert Sanders is an idiot. Plain and simple.
Lip balm is always in my purse.
I want some new brushes really really bad
Hi Karen! Well I have to say that most of my celebrity crushes are blondes! I have a thing for Matt Damon, but I also really like Jude Law and Leonardo DiCaprio! I hope you, the hubby, and Tabs have a great weekend!
Lip gloss or chap stick. Nothing worse than dry lips.
I wore braces from 3rd grade until about 7th grade..
Went to the movies to see The Campaign today! HILARIOUS film!
Went to the movies today to see “The Bourne Legacy!” Thanks for the giveaway!
Lately, I’m never without my Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch. I’m usually the type to switch up my lip color – but this stuff just calls my name. Hydrating, good color payoff, and lasts for a couple of hours – it’s a total winner!
I always have a ton of lip products in my purse.
Hi Karen! I love all makeup – have way too much of it. I’m sick of being preggo and I secretly crush on the creepster Tom Cruise 🙂
i like watching chopped. my favorite judge is aarón sanchez.
I think Tabs should hang out with my black beauty Cookie some day. Two such beautiful and mulit-talented cats (not to mention well ROUNDED) would take the world by storm.
Cosmetics are magic wand, makeup changes my world
Counting down the days until the kids start school, on Wednesday!!! Four days baby! Not that I’m excited, but I’m a tad excited!
Current celebrity crush is Ian Somerhalder and i always have lip balm in my purse 🙂 in case i bump into him and he asks me for a kiss….bwahahaha! If only….
I love cooking shows…sadly mostly because I love to eat.
I always carry a Britesmile whitening pen-it really works well and I can never remember to use it at home, so putting it in my makeup bag helps me remember.

My new favourite brand is By Terry! an expensive addiction!
I always have lip balm in my purse.

Blotting papers are always in my purse since my face gets oily really quickly, especially in the summer!
I loves me some Robert Downey, Jr. Or maybe it’s Tony Stark I like…I’m not sure.
I don’t care for cooking shows but I do like cooking blogs where I have found some great recipes.
I had braces for a bit over two years. If anything, they were worth my orthodontist’s awesome mustache.
Did you wear braces?
I wore braces from 4th grade to 8th grade.
i love ryan gosling!
I always carry lip balm lipstick and powder in my handbag!
I watch a lot of the cooking shows on PBS and the Food Network mostly to watch someone else cook since it’s a lot more relaxing (and less calories) than when I cook. My current favorite shows are the Food Network’s ‘Best Thing I Ever Ate” and “Best Thing I Ever Made” – so much fun to see where the food stars like to eat and like to make.
Thanks for all these great Sephora giveaways!
Have you tried Lush lemony flutter cuticle cream? It feels wonderful and the scent is great!
I want, I want, I want!!! Pick me, pick me! :))) Love your blog, and that piece of feline heaven, Tabs!

HAVE YOU SEEN THE SEVENKITTENS CHANNEL ON Ustream?! That is all xD
In need of new brushes…thanks for the giveaway!!
I wore braces for 4 years, until I was almost 16. The day I got them off, my family and I left for Spain for vacation, so it was an extra happy time for me!
i want some new brushes 🙂
Love your blog!
Just made a trip to Sephora yesterday. Got some new brushes I can’t wait to try!
Just got back from a 2week road trip to see some in laws in Midwest. America is full of corn lol

Your cat is so cool 🙂
Love cooking shows, right now Nadia G’s Bitchin Kitchen is my fave!
I really love the Maybelline line, BabyLips

Do you like hello kitty? I love macs and sephoras hello kitty line
I always keep a touch up powder in my purse!

I always have a lip balm, especially the newer ones that include a hint of color. Makes me feel like I am doing something healthy for my lips, while giving them a nice sheen of color too! The Covergirl Natureluxe balms are nice, and the Say Yes to Carrots tinted line is great without being sticky. So I don’t have to worry about cat fur getting stuck to my lips when I snuggle my felines…:)
My youngest is starting school in a few weeks. I’m really going to miss him!
I always keep blush and bronzer in my purse! My fair skin makes me look so pale at times!

I love me some Justin Timberlake and some lip balm 🙂
When I went for a walk today, I walked past a hedge. Underneath the hedge there was three cats sleeping! I think it was a mother cat and two kittens. I stopped to talk to them, but they didn’t care much, even though I patted one of the kittens on its nose! The mother cat and one of the kittens looked like your cat, and I was reminded of your great blog.
I had braces. Glad that’s over.
I love the food network but it always makes me hungry! I wish I could cook well, I’d love to try some of the recipes.
I’ve never had braces, but it’s looking more and more like that was a mistake – teeth seem to be making a desperate bid for freedom in different directions:)

I always have Medicated Chapstick with me. Always. It’s the only thing that can help my eternally dry, chapped/flaky lips.
Love you Karen!
Agh! I creep your page all the time and never comment, but a gift card up for grabs? I can’t resist!
Love your blog, and how you don’t take yourself too seriously. It’s a nice read at the end of the day for me 🙂

I ALWAYS have lipstick in my purse. I’m a lipstick fanatic. I have a 4-step process: first, I apply a lip stain to help keep my color lasting longer. Next, I apply lipstick. After that, I line my lips with a pencil and top it off with a dab of gloss in the center of my bottom lip. (It’s caramel latte flavor–yummy!)
Good luck with the purple smokey eye look! If anyone can make those cream shadows work, it’s you!
Jeremy Renner is my current crush… ever since those biceps made their debut on Avengers… I died… lol
My current celebrity crush is Usain Bolt. I’m lovin’ his charisma on the track!
I always carry hand sanitizer from bath and body works in my purse!
I love cooking shows. I’m a fan of Chopped on the Food Network and I also love Giada DeLaurentis’s show.
My current celebrity crush is Nathan Adrian. Swoon. Hope you had a fantastic weekend!
My dream trip to make is travel around the US to all the popular food spots.
I always carry lipgloss and lipbalm!
I am obsessed with Food Network! Paula Deen is my favorite. But I just recently moved to Okinawa and I am definitely going through withdrawals
Bronzer is my “go to” all year round – I have a sickness & the only cure is more bronzer! lol

Though it’s not what many would consider a traditional beauty product, I cannot be without lip balm! Some variety or another is always in my purse 🙂
♥ Jessica

Hope you’re having a great weekend, Karen! 🙂

I don’t watch cooking shows as much as read cooking websites. Specifically, Smitten Kitchen. The pictures? I just die!
I have temporarily stopped using any lip products except my NYC lip stain in forever freesia and lip balm! It’s so comfy, but no risk of getting the lip color on anything else. I think I’ll either try clinique’s chubby sticks, almost lipsticks, or the revlon balm stains next.
I must always have lip balm with me! Dry ashy lips are so bothersome : )
Karen, I got the Nars Tribal Rouge lip gloss after your post about it… LOVE the color!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
Tortilla soup!
Man oh man is it hot in socal. geez.
I always have so much lipgloss in my purse, the guy at airport security asked if I “had a fetish”!! Love your blog, love Sephora! Thanks, Karen!
Watching the Olympics closing ceremony!
I always have my 20+ year old hair brush in my purse. It’s seen much better days and is missing half of its bristles, but I still go into panic mode every time I think I’ve lost it!
My celebrity crush is dylan o’brien, ok! :’3
seeing all of your pictures of your cat makes me want to spend more time with mine hahaha too bad im allergic!! :[
but thanks for all you do Karen!!
Hit or miss on cooking shows, love cooking blogs though.
I find I go through phases where all I want to do is watch cooking shows!
I ate entirely too much for dinner. Now I’m bursting, but contemplating dessert??
I made a key lime cheesecake the other night, and it was mind-blowing. It’s all I want to eat!
hi, I slept a lot today!
Okay, I just bought my first bronzer (vs. using free ones I’ve gotten as free gifts with purchase) and I cannot figure out how to make it look…you know…natural! Bronze-y! Sun-kissed! I am pretty sure I look like someone smudged dirt on my face 🙁
I had braces from 8th grade to my sophomore year. I was so happy when they came off! Now if I can just remember to wear my retainer…
I just got my braces off a year ago.
I had braces, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t do anything for my teeth. They’re still a bit crooked, but they weren’t bad to begin with. Lame.
I love cooking shows, especially ones about desserts like Cupcake Wars and Top Chef: Just Desserts! Nom nom…. looove cupcakes! Current and forever celebrity crush: Johnny Depp! Speaking of nom nom….
Hey Karen! I loved your posts awhile back on the hourglass duos-I’m hooked!
I’m mopping floors while watching the Olympics closing ceremonies.
Hopefully I’m not getting sick.
Im currently watching true blood, and i’ve actually read angelfall but i didn’t think it was that amazing, fun read though!
The blush I’ve been loving lately is MAC Lovecloud from the Tres Cheek collection!
I love cooking shows, but love the Food Network competition shows even more!
Karen I would love to win!!
We had to take our dog to the vet yesterday. (Routine visit) The meds we give him for sedation when flying do not make or keep him asleep so he was prescribed Xanex! MY DOG!!! We had to go to Target and get his rx filled because they do not stock it at the vet. His little red Target bottle has a green ring and says his name Mo P…… So weird that my dog was prescribed Xanex! He may be just a bit of a diva!
What nice relaxing Sunday. I hope everyone else had a great Sunday too!
Dylan O’brien is my crush, ok!
Current celeb crush – Joseph Gordon Levitt!
Current girl crush, victoria beckham
Ouch! It’s 116 degrees outside today! Excessive heat warning here in Phoenix….
Joseph Gordon-Levitt. ‘nough said.
I love everything the Barefoot Contessa makes! I wish I knew her so she could cook for me. 🙂
Ed Burns is my longtime celebrity crush. Hope I win!!!!
Braces! Rubber bands! Headgear! Oh my!
I want to wiiiiiin! It’s cold and rainy here in Brazil, and it doesn’t help that tomorrow is monday -___-
well, good luck everyone!
ps: my celebrity crush is Zac Efron. can’t get any better than that.
I just love Top Chef: Just Desserts, and pretend it will inspire me to whip up a chocolate masterpiece of some sort. Instead, I end up raiding the chocolate chips in the pantry!
No need for me to watch cooking shows, my husband is amazing in the kitchen and that works out perfect because I HATE to cook. But I can bake! 🙂 Happy Sunday Funday!
Oh yeah, I had braces for 5 years. My teeth still aren’t perfect – I’d need jaw surgery to fix it all. Sigh! But it’s still an improvement, I guess. Hope you had a great weekend!
My current celebrity is Lee Pace. It has been for awhile, he’s great in Pushing Daisies, and I absolutely loved him in The Fall!
I’m working weekends right now, and bronzer just makes me feel better about it. It perks up my tired, tired skin and helps me face the day.
I have a crush on alton brown.
…weird right?
Oh those good old braces days… haha. I usually wear blush unless my skin is unusually red, as it sometimes flares up.
at the moment, I am drooling over Michael Phelps. is it weird that I think the ears are cute?
Love your blog, Karen!
I just finished watching the Olympic closing ceremony. The US team’s outfits were horribly boring! D:
Love America’s Test Kitchen! Thanks for the giveaway!
Miley cyrus just chopped her hair off! OMG crazyyyyyyyy but i still love herrrr

in case anyone was wondering, i have a cat on my head.
I’m watching the Olympics closing ceremony for the second time today b/c I love me some Spice Girls!
jeremy renner…yummmmm
I’m so sad the Olympics is over already! No more watching Men’s swimming or Water Polo (speedo galore!) 🙁
I like the cooking competition shows! I’m not so great a cook myself, so the teaching shows aren’t so helpful 🙁
Giada is my favorite Food Network Chef. I do love watching Diner, Drive Ins and Drives.
We don’t have cable so I had to give up the food network. =( One thing I never leave the house is my Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1. I’ve been hooked for 10 years!
Giada is my favorite Food Network Chef. I do love me some Diner, Drive Ins and Drives.
I don’t watch cooking shows, but I LOVE cooking competitions. Top Chef definitely is my favorite!
Whenever I need to look up a new product swatch after finding it on the Sephora site, I come straight to your blog! Love that!
I love cooking shows but just can’t stand the same the foodnetwork stars, prefer reading & watching utube & blogs.
I usually wear blush most days.
Karen, I am off to Trader Joe’s tomorrow to get some mango and cream popsicles. It is hotter than a MoFo in Southern Cali!!!
I did have braces! Ugh 🙁

It’s always sad when the Olympics are over.
Recently I’ve been into watermelon juice! It’s so refreshing on these hot summer days! I definitely recommend it!
I wear falsies for fun just about every day and I never leave my house without my DUO eyelash glue! It’s the best! I swear by it! I’ve tried several different brands and this is the only one where my eyelashes haven’t fallen out.
I need a job.
Me! Me! Pick me!
Some form of lip product is always in my purse, like CoverGirl’s NatureLuxe lip balm or Fresh’s lip balm.
One beauty product I always carry in my purse is my lip gloss 🙂
Maitai and Picard had a nice lazy day while I scrubbed the bathroom.
Spice Girls reunited for closing ceremony…Omg I just went back to being 10 years old all over again!!

I wear blush more frequently in the fall and winter, but rarely in spring/summer since I sweat all the time and everywhere lol.
