Aw, just one more game! This is the one, I can tell! I can feel it in my bones. Come on, Kitty Glitter, come on! Mama needs a new pair of socks!
My favorite casino game is a penny slot machine called Kitty Glitter, and it’s kinda like Connect 4, except with cats, where you try to get 3-4 of the same cat pictures lined up in a row. The rows can go in pretty much every conceivable direction on the screen, even diagonal or zig-zagging.
I’m not a big gambler, but I could play Kitty Glitter for hours…assuming my pennies hold out, LOL!
Tabs will be disappointed to learn that there are no tabbies in Kitty Glitter. What a huge oversight by the developer!
Time for me to go test my luck one last time before we head home. Good luck to you in this weekend’s giveaway, and don’t forget to also enter the Burberry Beauty giveaway still going on now. That’s two ongoing giveaways, and one of them has 15 winners!
See you soon. π

Non-sticky lipgloss — just can’t deal with the goopy texture of sticky ones, nor the feeling of hair stuck to lips. Yuck!
I know that Kitty Glitter machine. Anytime I go to a casino, it automatically catches my eye. Such a funny name! thanks for the giveaway!
Kitty Glitter!
What a random name. I wouldn’t have believed it without the photo evidence.
I would like to have a shower of autumn leaves!!!
I prefer lip glosses that have some slide to them. If it leaves stickiness when I press my lips together, it’s not for me.
I love neutral eyeshadows with a pop of color on the lower lash line !
I’d love to win this!!!
I love Buxom lipglosses! I’m working on buying one in every color π
Teal Eyeshadow I would definitely wear it!!
I prefer non-sticky lipgloss!
Hi, love Sephora! Seriously, I should own stock at this point! Hope I win!! My wallet would be SO happy lol! Love your blog!
Both cats and both dogs are asleep…all at the same time…my house hasn’t been this quiet in a while!
I’ve seen both the Pacific and the Atlantic…and I wished I lived near one of them!
Garage saling with the fam – it’s a good weekend!
I totally need backups for brow pencil!
Non beauty product but I bought backups of my Origins eye doctor eye cream and my First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream when I was in New York on holiday! Everything is insanely expensive where I live so I stock up a lot in USA! π Oh and I also stocked up the Neutrogena revitalizing lip balms in the shade healthy blush. BEST. LIP. BALMS. EVER.
Dry shampoo is okay Just use baby powder, cheaper and doe the same thing.
That picture of Tabs is too cute! He’s all, “why are you disturbing my sun time with photos?” Have a great weekend, Karen!
Pie. Apple or pumpkin?
Have a great weekend, Karen! And Tabs, too π
I would so love to win a $50 gift card from Sephora. I can use it to try out some new liquid lipsticks Γ°ΕΈββΓ°ΕΈΛΖ
I can’t salsa but I can merengue! I wouldn’t mind learning though. And flamenco too!
I just broke a nail trying to break a dog bone in half π Boo!
SF zoo today with my baby girls…I think I’m more excited then them! Bye bye Modesto, Bay Area here we come!!!
I had ham for dinner 4 times in the past week so I really don’t want to see any for a while even though it was the best ham I’ve ever had! Dinner tonight: NOT HAM! LOL
what a cute bunny, is it yours?
I always have a spare MAC Oh Baby Lipglass on hand for emergencies!
This is the most giving blog ever!
Always have a backup seche vite-my favorite topcoat ever!
Watching Jane Eyre on a gloomy day does not inspire the vim and vigor I need to start my housework. Oh how I love my byronic heros though…
I need that powder conditioner ( hair powder eye shadow ) u have , will see if the ship overseas and how much.
Yahtzee is currently my favorite game!! Used to love playing it as a kid – now play it with my own kids. I am a firm believer in dry shampoo. Has saved my backside more than once!
The last trip I took was to Houston, TX to visit my BFF! It was a fun trip but hot, hot, hot! Don’t go to TX in the middle of June unless you want to sweat like crazy! Thanks for the giveaway!
OrangeLipstickBlog recently posted … Meet some of my favorite scents!
I have been inside a casino: once. And I think that’s enough for me, no more money, honey.
Your blog is so much fun to read! Our last trip took us to Cleveland and Niagara Falls, and while there are casinos in both cities, I did not make it into any of them. Have a great time!
I would love to learn how to salsa!!
Haven’t put any makeup on yet.
Dry shampoo works sometimes for me.
I actually use dry shampoo every other day–it helps my hair color (bright red!) stick around a lot longer, and gives my short hair volume and texture! I use Lush’s No Drought, and I love the stuff.
Don’t dance, don’t gamble. Do buy makeup, though…!
The last trip I took was in 2006 to California for my senior year spring break.
I never gamble, I think it is ridiculous to throw money away on nothing. I’d rather take that money and go shopping or dining.
I do not know how to ballroom dance but am obsessed with watching it. I’d love to learn but that would probably require a very patient teacher as I don’t have ver good coordination.
I’m a HUGE fan of dry shampoo. My hair gets oily so fast, but I hate washing it everyday – I think it dries out my ends too much. The problem is, I haven’t found a dry shampoo I really like. They all either smell funky or just don’t work as well as plain ol’ cornstarch.
Currently have a cold… But live my “sick” voice. Cute cat btw!
Hi Tabs!
I have the misfortune to love a dry shampoo that seems to be hard to find – the Redken powder refresh.
I am not really a gambler, but I have to say….I LURVE kitty glitter! Perfect crazy cat lady game. My hubby and I actually won about $60 on it last time we played in Vegas!
i’m going to go outlet shopping this wkend =))
i love the idea of dry shampoo, but with dark black hair, i can’t use e.g. the oscar blandi dry shampoos – too much white residue π
the only things i’ve ever liked enough to buy back ups of are wet n wild’s born into privilege nail polish and revlon’s eyeshadow in peach sorbet (since they discontinued it) I don’t buy back ups of high end stuff usually because it doesn’t seem practical to have /spend a lot on extras that I might not get to/ decide i dislike before I finish.
The only time I ever gambled was playing poker with my cousins in the summers. I was so terrible at it that once I ended up betting all my sheets and blankets, and I think I bet my little brother, too, and lost it all.
Running all over 2 zip codes looking for Pureology Precious Oil Shampoo! Expensive, I hope I like it.
Last not visiting family trip (they live 2 hours away atm.. not for much longer!) was to visit my friends about 4 hours away. weekend of goofing off mostly.
I love dry shampoo, but for the life of me I can’t seem to rub it in well enough
My hometown is on the Atlantic coast, so yes, I’ve seen the ocean.
I have multiple tubs of olay complete lying around my bathroom… BEST STUFF EVER.
I buy back-ups of mac blot powder because its so awesome. I also have 2 each of the ecotools finishing (use for skincare and stippling foundation and hd powder application) and buffing (for foundation powder and blush application) brushes.
I can’t think of any product I would intentionally buy back-ups for! There’s no product I love so much that I think I won’t be able to find a dupe of if/when it’s discontinued.
I never understood why people raved about the ocean until I saw something other than the chocolate milk-looking Gulf Coast water up close! Once I saw the turquoise Caribbean water, I was in love!
My kitty would be also be upset about no tabbies! It’s so nice of you to have two giveaways π
Watching Hunger Games for the first time.
It’s… okay.
Dear Lord can i win this to buy that OCC lip tar. π
I like to gamble but only in Las Vegas. Seems so much more fun there than anywhere else.
Love my Klorane dry shampoo (the aerosol one)! Thank you for the weekly giveaways.
I am not a big gambler…casinos hold my interest for about 20 minutes π
And I am going on vacation in 3 hours, sooo excited!
I don’t actually have a backup of any of my make up.
I love Batiste Dry Shampoo–makes my hair actually look like it’s been washed. Thanks for the giveaway!
I visited a casino once in Cripple Creek, Co. I quickly realized I wasn’t a gambler, lost interest and went on my merry way visiting the spectacular state. I’m sure I saved a lot of money as well.
The sun is finally coming out.
Here’s my problem: My Sephora wishlist has about 200.00 worth of products on it, but my checking account only has about 5.00 worth of money in it. What to do? Enter Karen’s 50.00 Sephora E-Gift Card Giveaway, and pray to the makeup gods I win! Oh…and I also Tweeted as per your request in the hope of increasing my chance of winning. Here is the Tweet URL: https://twitter.com/TwirlyGirly1/status/241967977627529218
Happy labor day weekend! Did you get a snazzy white outfit for Mr. Tabs? π
Hey Karen!! The makeup products I buy back up for….are………MAC STUDIOFIX COMPACT FOUNDATION/POWDER……AND…..MAC EYE MAKEUP REMOVER….IN THE PINK BOTTLE!!!! LUV IT!!!!! You, Tabs, and your fam have a safe weekend and be blessed!!!!!
I have not found a dry shampoo that I really like so far. I have only tried a couple of brands, but I was not really impressed. I want to keep searching though!
Lazy Labor Day weekend at home – priceless!
I went to a casino in Connecticut once. I enjoyed the fancy video-game style slot machines, with graphics and everything. There was a monopoly one and a Top Gun one I quite enjoyed, even though I was losing all my money!
I really want to go to a MAC store…
I am in love with Dr Jart BB cream. i have a sample tube that is almost gone. My skin feels and looks amazing since I started using it. If i win, I would definitely spend $36 on a full size!!
Cant live without dry shampoo…and that Kitty Glitter game is hilarious! π
My friend’s mom goes to ballroom dancing everyweek so one summer during college we followed her…and OMGOSH i realized i had no rhythm and I’m a slow learner!
Starting my first year of grad school! So excited!!
I love to play Texas Hold’em Poker but I am not really good. I just don’t have a poker face. π
The only thingbI play in the casino is electronic roulette LOL
Oh yeah, I love the slots! Plenty of casinos out here in San Diego. In fact, I know that Kitty Glitter game. I just wish they had a doggie version of it. π
I don’t generally buy backups (unless nabbing my “next” mascara counts, since I go through those pretty fast and would hate to run out), but when Sally Hansen discontinued the HD nail polishes, not only did I buy the rest of the colors I didn’t already own, I got a second bottle of DVD. Blue/purple duochrome + glitter = awesome!
I miss the pacific ocean!
Kitty Glitter!!!!! π
Dry shampoo is the bomb. And I don’t really buy back-ups per se, but have about three canisters of different dry shampoos. There are some great formulations out there from a variety of brands.
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks again for another great giveaway opportunity!
One of the few things in makeup that I am obsessed with and buy several backups of are foundations and eyeliner. I also have several lipsticks, but I don’t have backups for them.
Living in SoCal, yup, I’ve seen the Pacific.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on a trip, but on Monday, I’m headed to Italy! So exciting!
Just back from a trip to the supermarket…putting away groceries is so much fun! Not really though π
TRIPS TRIPS TRIPS! Going to Halloween Horror nights this month for the first time with my boyfriend (why am I automatically thinking of True Blood?) . Since its the first time I’ve ever planned on a vacay with a guy :bites nails: I’d like to buy Bare Minerals night remedy, reallyy nervous for him to see me without makeup>.
My favorite game is catchphrase!!
wow kitty glitter looks like a lot of fun!
I used to live very close to the ocean, so yes I have seen one. Now I miss it. I have a lake where I live now and it’s just not the same thing.
I love gaming! And I’ve never tried dry shampoo.
Oh my goodness if my husband and I really do go to Tahoe while on leave this holiday, I must find Kitty Glitter and play! XD
I took ballroom dancing with my bf in college and it was AMAZING! being able to dance together is such an aphrodisiac
I like dry shampoo, but the aerosol kind always smells so weird.
I wonder what it’s like to be the person trusted with the job of naming slot machines. Imagine if “Kitty Glitter” was your life’s work lol!
When am I gonna win ;-D I really need new brushes!
I don’t know how to dance, but I’ve always wanted to learn.
I just went to DisneyWorld with my niece a couple of weeks of ago, super fun!
Cynthia recently posted … Blogsale! Brand new Infallible shadows, Color Tatoos, Balm Stains and cheap lipsticks!
good luck on those slots!
Oh, I LOVE to gamble . Good luck!!
I already have several items on my sephora shopping list awaiting f&f sale later this year. Would be awesome to get a treat early! Enjoy the rest of your weekend Karen!
Not a big gambler but I love Las Vegas!
Just bought a NARS haul…yay! Can’t wait for the UPS fairy to come…
The last trip I took was to Boston to visit colleges! It was a lot of fun!
Thanks for another great giveaway!
I got my first bottle of dry shampoo recently and it works OK, but I somehow always get a bit of it on my hair and it becomes too dry π
They should have a slot machine at Sephora!
I bought backups for my brow pencils, partly because I like them a lot and partly because I found them on clearance and they are the perfect shade for my brows so I had to scoop them up.
I used my Naked palette for the first time last night (I know, I’m super late on that one), and i’m in LOVE!
I buy backups of mascara. Well technically not backups but I always have one in the cue to try out.
I’ll gest new brushes if I win.
I need new foundation, this would be perfect! π
i used to take dance classes, though not any that required a partner, and i can pick up choreography rather quickly.
i hope i win!! also prefer non-sticky lipglosses now – not a fan of mac’s lipglass anymore.
Oh, Tabs! I wish I could go to Sephora today too.
Wheeeee, I feel lucky!
ANOTHER sephora giveway!! π
Woohoo!
hi karen! happy saturday!
September is here!
I’ve seen the ocean from more places than I can count! It’s amazing π
I really like LORAC’s lip glosses… it feels like I’m getting a lot for my money and they feel hydrating, which– being from Colorado — is such a necessity. Avoiding chapped lips can be a downright challenge.
(and I LOVEEEE the ocean. Don’t get to see it enough π
Love the ocean! Always wanted to be a mermaid, haha
I love Tabbies!
I just spent most of my day reading a book that was good for the most part till I got to the last 2 chapters, the whole story line went into a snowball effect. Guess I’ll go out and look for another book, maybe some suspense thriller type of book.
The last trip I took was from South Carolina all the way to Kansas! We just moved here almost 2 weeks ago. We’re hoping to settle down here and make it better than we were in SC. We’re part of the metropolis known as Kansas City, MO. It’s so overwhelming, but exciting for this small town girl to be living in a big city now. π Also, I always keep backups of my favorite lip glosses. xP
I’m coming late to dry shampoo. I first tried Stila hair refresher in Jade Blossom, because I liked the scent. A white powder does not work on brown hair. I don’t know what they were thinking. I’m now trying the Oscar Blandi spray. It’s not bad. I’d like to find something less expensive. I’ll check your blog for suggestions. π
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend away π
Have a great day, Karen!
I hate that I suck at dancing π
I’m not sure i’d consider myself a gambler per say, but I love playing the mega jackpot games, I buy one ticket per drawing hoping I’ll win someday! π

Just got the Ocho Loco set (ordered it Thursday, it arrived Saturday!) and I am so glad I didn’t wait to get it. I love the darker tones of the eyeliners in this set!
I love salsa dancing!
Last trip I took was to Little Tokyo on LA with some friends. π
I just bought new sandals…but maybe I shoulda bought boots. All the new fall stuff is out!
I never really have the money to gamble, so I stick to the penny slots! My husband and I went to a casino in the spring and actually did pretty well on them! I won about $50 and my husband won $115 – on one pull!!
I’m not a big gambler, but when I have gone to a casino, I just park myself in front of a penny or nickel slot machine for a few hours.
I recently saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time during a trip to Kaua’i!
hope you are all having a nice weekend!
This summer I took a trip to Hawaii for the first time! It was beautiful!
I LOVE board games–I’m such a board game nerd!!! Seriously, I’d take a night in playing boardgames over a night on the town any day of the week!

Hi Tabs! I too wish I could go to Sephora today!!! π
How wrong is it that I totally want a Kitty Glitter machine in my apartment?
Do not salsa, but it is always so amazing to watch ppl, who know what they doing……..
Hi Karen,
I just found your blog and think its adorable that you love your cat so much. I have a French Bulldog and from the back he totallllly looks like a cat!!
Listening to Coldplay on this cloudy Arizona day!
I don’t know how to salsa dance…. and I wish I knew how to swing dance!
I love roulette!
On Tuesday I start my senior year of nursing school…ack!
Hi Karen!
Thanks for the contest. I have to have back ups of my Karin Herzog Vita Kombi 1 cream. It is a HG for me.
Sure, I can Salsa. π I was a ballroom dancer for 3 years, but I had to quit my first year of college because I couldn’t keep up with two jobs, 23 credit hours and ballroom. But it was fun!
i loooove dry shampoo cuz my hair gets oily very fast!
Love the ocean, beautiful.
still looking for the best sunscreen!
I am a crackerjack blackjack player π
Tomorrow’s my bday, I’m excited! Sure would love a Sephora gc *coughcough*…
I don’t know how to salsa, but I have learned hula!
Tomorrow is my bday, I’m excited! Sure would love a Sephora gc *coughcough*…
I’m so happy to have a three-day weekend this weekend. I actually went to Sephora today (I had to take my mom to the mall to do some returns), but while the one foundation I wanted to check out seemed like a good match based on my hand-swatch, the trip was not a success. I uncharacteristically sprayed on a perfume that I’d wanted to try without testing it on the blotter first and I paid for it!
Dry shampoo is suspicious.
On vacation in AK but just got into Seattle today and was able to check out their Sephora today by Pike’s Market! Alaksa was so beautiful.
The last trip I took was to Mexico… I was so excited when I got their and saw the tropical ocean! It was my first time to Mexico and I still couldn’t believe I was even there. Then I realized I didn’t bring my face wash or face cream! I had to use my moms face wash which gave me more zits than I already had!
Oh and the face cream I was using as still am is from Sephora. It is the smashbox bb cream! I would totally recommend this cream to everyone!
I love blackjack. Today we went river tubing for the first time – I didn’t wear any makeup.
I always have to put a few bucks in Kitty Glitter….never have won with that slot game though.
I have a few backups of nail colors that I love. The most recent one is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mystic Lilac, from 2010. When I put mine on the other day, I realized I liked the color enough to try and find a couple more bottles. Luckily, there was one listing on Ebay for it that was going to expire in 14 hours, so I bought 2 of the last 3 bottles the seller had.
Nope, I’m not a gambler at all.
Buxom lipgloss in the (now discontinued) shade of Eva is my back up worthy purchase. I have finished two and have two more waiting.
Dry shampoos are definitely on my long list of items I still need to try!
I love dry shampoo to volumize my hair.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway, Karen! π
Yes, I buy back-ups of nail polish probably more often than I should. And a lot of times, I end up giving them away as just-because surprises to my fellow nailphiles. π

I am not a gambler. Never gambled a penny in my life.
Living in South America and with a musician father, I can – and I love to – dance salsa! Would love to learn tango though.
I love these π Thanks!
Sephoraaaaaaaa!
Hmm.. I tend to buy backups of lipsticks I love (lip butters and revlon soft nude) and nail polish like opi lucky lucky lavender!
I love dry shampoo for my bangs with second day hair.
It’s been a LOOONG time since I’ve taken a trip but I’m planning already for a vacation to Florida in early December (can we say WDW?) π
I love blush but I always lose them so I need to buy in pairs, cheap ones, just in case.
My last trip was to New York – where I also swam in the ocean!
I’ve tried dry shampoo a few times, but I definitively prefer the regular kind.
I like dry shampoo, but I think I like baby powder better
A Sephora gift card would really come in handy right about now π I’m not much of a gambler (so hard to see that hard-earned money slip away), but when I do I love to play blackjack. The social interaction is so fun compared to say, slot machines!
i rarely go to casinos etc…but when i do, i love the slot machines! never seen the kitty glitter though…
I live about 40 minutes away from the ocean but I only visited it a few times this summer. Busy busy life. The last time I saw it was a few weeks ago from my hospital room window.
I want to win. I need skin products.
I live very near the ocean, and here in the Emerald Coast of Florida, the water can be transparent green. It’s amazing!
Not a fan of dry shampoo–I want to like it, but it makes my hair stiff and straw-like.
I want to love dry shampoo, but I haven’t found one that soaks up the oil!
I live on an island, so the ocean is very close by. I love it.
S recently posted … I Got Tagged!
I can’t even imagine having never seen the ocean even though I know it is incredibly common. I run on hydropower!
Love sparkly eyeliner! Happy weekend!
I live in Florida, but rarely ever see the ocean, even though it is less than an hour from my house. I’m just not really a big fan.
The last time I was in Vegas, I had good luck with the nickel slots!
My mom and I used to walk on the boardwalk on Saturday morning during the summer when I was back from college. Loved seeing the ocean early in the morning.
I want to go home. I’m in Dallas because work evacuated me due to Hurricane Isaac, and I can’t go home until our Main Office has power back π Some retail therapy would really be nice…
Last trip I took was to San Diego in July.
I am not a gambler but I love playing card games. I am not a very good dancer. Um… I think I prefer normal shampoo because I think they actually clean your hair more. Just this summer I went to Taiwan to visit my grandparents. Yes, I love the ocean way more than mountains. I love urban decay eyeshadows, the colors are just pure beauty and they come in a lot of shades.
My recent tripp to Sehora+ New Bumble & Bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil. I’ve been eyeing this since I heard about it. π
I wanna win!!
I hate it when I buy makeup that I like, but the packaging ruins it. Plain old tubes with caps don’t get clogged at the tip like pumps do, and you can control the amount. Sigh.
No gambling for me. I would rather spend my money on makeup!!!
Dry shampoo… I haven’t yet tried one I really enjoyed, unfortunately π BUT I would love to win this!! π

No gambling for me. I would rather sPend my money on makeup!
I don’t win when I gamble (in the literal sense of the word), but I have a friend who always wins exactly twice as much as she puts in – not every single time but overall through the night or weekend or whatever!
I just went back to the gym this week for the first time since my son was born (15 months ago!). I’m doing a “couch to 5k” running program. Hoping I won’t hack up a lung in the process ;).
I love the ocean! My last place I visited was Florida, and there was a beautiful beach where the ocean was amazing!
I also Love Sephora! π

Too awkward to dance lol. Maybe some day I’ll get better
favorite dance move? The sprinkler!
I’ve seen both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I stepped foot in the Pacific for the first time exactly a year ago and it was lovely. It’s crazy how different the two are!
I really want to go to Disney World for Christmas! π
I have used the Suave Dry Shampoo and so far, it’s okay. It stopped my hair from feeling all greasy, but there’s still residue in my hair no matter how many times I brush.
I love Phase10. I could play it all day long!
Ahh that picture makes me miss my cat so much!
I cannot get dry shampoo to work for my hair type.
If I win I’m going to get that Lorac eye palette. I think Tabs would approve.
I dont gamble much but when I do I am a slot machine type!! Hope you are having a good weekend. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’m indifferent to gambling, but I really wish I knew how to play poker. It looks like fun.
I also really like casinos, for some reason, which is funny because I’ve heard that most people don’t like the casino atmosphere.
Dry shampoo…well, just like normal shampoo, I feel like it’s no use to buy an expensive brand. The 2$ Suave one is even better than the 10$ I got a Sally’s!
I am looking forward to the Urban Decay holiday collection, especially the Ocho Loco eye pencil set!
I would love to buy something snappy with this Sephora cert π
The last trip I took was to visit my family at home π I would love to learn ballroom dancing.
I didn’t think I’d like dry shampoo but I really like the one by Klorane.
I always hit up the penny slots. The more cat themed, the better!
$50 would be helpful in acquiring some of the Andy Warhol collection in October!
I can’t gamble. I’m not a risk taker by any means. Too afraid I’d lose it all.
Want to win because I’m still lemming Naked 2!
Dry shampoos are a fail for me so far. I haven’t found one that smells really good (least offensive are Oribe and Not Your Mother’s) and many of them smell just bad (Ojon, Blandi). The worst part is how they are empty after five uses, followed closely by how they make my head itch and how I have to wash my hair within 8 hours of use or it’s a matted greasy mess. Related closely – why do Ojon products smell so bad? Even though they work, I can’t have that stank on my head. The deep conditioner smells like the ashtray of a 1974 Pinto.
If I win the Sephora card, I’m buying that Hourglass brush.
I like to play black jack… since it’s easy to understand.
so tired but I can’t fall asleep right now. what is happening.
Dry shampoo = baby powder for me!
I am not a gambler in real life — but when it comes to my favorite game Monopoly — watch out! π
i always buy bb cream for backups!
I just got back from Singapore
Yes, Salsa is my second name! Actually, all kind of dances are just me, I love to dance. I actually think I missed my vocation….On my wedding day, I just danced, danced, danced…..
I love dry shampoo! π
I love roulette and blackjack, but I’m not a very good gambler π
Hey Karen! Hope you’re enjoying your vacation this long weekend. I’m currently able to see the ocean every day because I’m vacationing in Maine! The only thing I’ve bought backups of so far is Lush Dream Cream. I buy a tub of that goodness before my current one runs out because I have yet to find a cream that I like better. Just wish it was ten dollars cheaper!
I love dry shampoo!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Karen! =)
I love the idea of dry shampoo.. though it never seems to keep my oily hair at bay. So until they create a great dry shampoo, it’ll be a product that never was (for me) :(.
I would like backups of Nailtiques Formula 2 plus. It’s the best thing for my nails.
Have you ever tried those kitty-themed scratch cards you can get at kiosks etc.? Seems like you’d love them π
I love having a backup of my trust mascara! (I use maybelline colossal) i just love it and its so inexpensive!
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m not a gambler but once in awhile I do buy lottery tickets. He he I guess that is a gamble right? Have a great Sunday and Labor Day Γ°ΕΈΛβ
Hey Karen, been slacking on my MBB love lately. Still here though, still love ya!
When I used to live in New Jersey I loved going to the casinos but mainly for the great buffets lol
Thanks for the giveaway!! i’m in love of the new guerlain fall collection, specially, the Rouge g L’EXTRAIT, so beatiful !!!
That machine is pretty awesome! I’m not a gambler just because my luck is so terrible; I never come out ahead every time I go to Vegas. So I figure that if I’m gonna waste my money, I might as well spend it on something I can enjoy for a while (my rationalization for buying more makeup π π ).
Im getting tired of all the rain in Sweden.. so this price would really cheer up my day π
Hi Karen,
I’m not really a gambler – I always feel guilty blowing money in slot machines, although they are a guilty pleasure. My favorite are the quarter machines. When I lose, I’m always thinking about what I could of bought with that money. Iol
Hope U had fun in Tahoe Karen! I love going to the casino but I don’t gamble just like looking around feel the excitement and look at other people win lol
I’m not a gambler simply because I think I’ll get addicted to it. the whole *just one more* attitude would get me. I’ve never been to Las Vegas or a casino, but I do want to go to both at least once just for the shiggles one day (when I’m much more comfortable and financial stable with blowing some money)
thank you for all your blog reviews! you’re one of the few sites i look up before making purchases! currently, im scoping out UD’s ocho loco … really wish they would sell LSD separately π
Love Jonathan’s dry shampoo!
Got a sunburn … On the back of my neck! Because I wore a shirt that ONLY showed my neck today, not expecting it to be as hot as it was π
Living in California, I don’t even know how many times I’ve seen the ocean…
I like dry shampoo
I just bought a Revlon matte lipstick in “Stormy Pink” and I love it!!! Everyone MUST TRY IT!!!
My last trip was to Hong Kong earlier this year. And I see the ocean every day since I live in Hawaii π
*perks up* Sephora gift card?? π And where is this fabulous kitty game??????
My last trip was to the hospital this past Thursday night for dislocating my shoulder :/,
My favorite beauty products that I bought back ups of is MAC’S viva glam gaga lipstick the pink one I bought three I love it so much!
Hmm…dry shampoo. See, my problem is that every time I go swimming, my hair gets soaked and I have to wash it again. I’d be nice if there was a solution to that problem…
My last trip was to Hong Kong and Macau, and I actually just came back home 2 days ago! And I don’t know how to salsa OR ballroom dance, but I do know zumba! π
No gambling nor dancing…but dry shampoo: can’t live without!
i love me some opaque glosses that last all day.. so if it has to be kinda sticky, i will deal with it.
I’ve always lived within a 40 minute drive to the ocean and can’t imagine living much further away. Although I don’t go to the coast often (just a few times a year) , I like knowing it’s there in case I feel the need to breeze fresh ocean air.
Have a great weekend Karen!
Hmmmm dry shampoo is okay. I wish I could travel the world and see all the amazing things out there and get to try all the different foods :-).
Happy labor day weekend everyone!
The only dry shampoo that I’ve tried is for my dogs π
Enjoying my 2nd day of Spring here in melbourne!!!!! :DDDDDDD
I’m flying out to Italy to study abroad tomorrow (!!!) and i seriously debated bringing dry shampoo. I ended up packing baby powder instead because I already had it and I’m super cheap and didnt want to buy anything…
Sephora gift card make me happy!! Fingers crossed. Thanks for all great info!! J
I dreamt about Tabs last night. He said I was going to win this giveaway.
π
I love that photo of Tabs!
I honestly have no idea what I did before dry shampoo ! I loooove it!
I would buy backups of macs eye kohl in feline. The blackest eyeliner I have ever used:)
Labor Day weekend is not about rest from “labor” for me this weekend. Instead, I will be helping my 10 year old son with a project about famous persons/inventors. His choice? Steve Jobs, whom we must decorate a bowling pin to look like. Fun, fun!! A restful and enjoyable Labor Day weekend to all! π
can’t believe it’s september…
Hi Karen! I’m off to a family bbq later today. It’s so nice to spend time with family (& all the family pups)! Hope you are having a great holiday weekend! π
wish they sold that True Blood perfume from QVC at sephora so I could smell before spending $60…
I couldn’t get through a week without dry shampoo
I think gambling is akin to throwing away money…money that could be spent on fun, pretty, new makeup!!
Lorac pro palette
The last trip, I took was back to NYC exactly 1 year after 9/11- pretty spooky. But I did get to see Hairspray on Broadway and we did travel down into Pennsylvania and Maryland too so got to see some Amish and eat some crab, yum.
I love playing blackjack or roulette

I’m so jealous of your trip to Tahoe. I have always wanted to visit there, but was always afraid I would run into an ex who lives out there. That would not be a good thing…
I have a really bad tummy ache this morning! π
i splurged $4.00 on a starbucks latte at a Wisconsin “resort” that only serves instant in its rooms. Best $4.00 I’ve ever spent… at least in the last week. π Have a great week!
the last trip I took was to Aruba! I found many discontinued chanel products down there and went crazy!
I’m not a big gambler… I got away in Vegas with only spending $10… but I do love the casino environment.
I think my little girl cat would love it if Mommy won this – I could buy her the new Hello Kitty items she’s been coveting! π
Oh how I wish I could have a cat, especially a Tabs! My allergies go haywire whenever I’m near a cat π
always keep dry shampoo just in case, but rarely end up using it
Just moved into new apt… such CHAOS!
I’m still looking for the perfect dry shampoo for dark hair
I never gamble. Would much rather spend my hard earned money on makeup! π
I thought I didn’t have that much nail polish… until I put all of ’em in one tray. Ack! π
I’m thinking about getting a new Nars blush
I like to gamble (not excessively), but for FUN. My favorite game is Texas Holdem.
Everytime I am searching for swatches of the next latest & greatest product, I almost always pull up your amazing blog. Your swatches are sooo helpful, and I just love your witty commentary & darling kitty pics!! Every time I search for new product swatches on google, I’m always crossing my fingers your little pic pops up!! That sounds slightly stalkerish bwahahaha…But I just wanted to thank you for your AMAZING blog!!! It really helps me figure out which products I NEED to purchase, and which ones I can live without. Oh, and doing these giveaways is SUPER generous/wonderful of you!!! Keep up the good work doll!!!
I want to play this game!!
I buy backups of Urban Decay liners and Tarina Tarantino products to have replacements in case I lose anything.
I love dry shampoo! I have super thick, super long hair and the humidity in VA makes drying my hair naturally take forever ( I don’t like to blow dry) so dry shampoo has allowed me to stretch washing my hair one day longer! It’s great!
I’m with Tabs… wish I could go to Sephora today!
my next purchase will be a guerlain foundation.
I’ve only gambled once. I won $50 on a game I put five bucks in. I had no idea how to play the game, I was just pushing buttons and I won $50! I did the happy dance, my husband laughed at me, it was funny!
I don’t gamble. I’m boring.
Dry shampoo is my savior in the mornings when I have little time to get ready for class. I particularly love the Batiste line — affordable, non-irritating odor, gets the job done.
I love makeup!!!
If I ever came across a Kitty Glitter machine I would play it for hours and hours and hours. I hope someday I do find one!
I went on a Casino Boat Cruise once………so seasick!!!
Never tried dry shampoo.
I grew up on the east coast, so I love the ocean.
Alverde’s sleek lipstick in Red Sierra. Best kind of deep but wearable red shade (like my lips in a deeper, richer bordeaux-er version)… that I would stack upon.
I have a short attention span for gambling
Glitter kitty is sure though!
I found that using an eyeshadow like rice paper or shroom in the inner tear duct with satin taupe makes satin taupe more wearable for my warm completion
There should be a tabby in Kitty Glitter!!!!
I have some dry shampoo but my hair looks best if I wash it daily so my son uses the dry shampoo. Love your blog Karen!
I do know how to salsa – I learned in college. I haven’t done it in several years though.
I buy a MegaMillions and a Powerball ticket every week, if that counts as gambling. I’ve never played any card games (don’t know any!) or even the slot machine. I’ve never set foot in a casino before but maybe someday, more so for the shows and cheap eats (I saw a program on PBS about 99 cent half-pound hot dogs in Vegas. LOL) than the games though.
I’m just getting ready to launch my new blog and YouTube channel! Very exciting times. Kitty Glitter always looks like fun!
I’m a sophomore in college and I just stumbled across your site. I love that you do tutorials for girls with Asian eyes, it’s so hard to find a good tutorial that fits my eye shape. But your site has done wonders for me. Thank you!
I love dry shampoo! I use it at night before I go to bed instead of in the morning. It works much better that way! No white/gray residue or matte-not-oily-but-still-dirty look π
I don’t gamble, because I get mad every time I lose money and I’ve never won!
Need some new Bumble & Bumble products! Ready for fall !
I love all the cute cat pics here
sorry I think I already entered a while back, just delete if I did
Dry shampoo and I don’t get along…my hair just feels stickier and greasier. ew. one of my friends swears by plain baby powder though.
i say no to dry shampoo. π
Im 29 and Last week I got bangs for the first time ever and got my ears pierced. I’m such a big girl! π
I wish I knew how to salsa dance!!!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! What’s your favorite nail polish brand/color? π
I wish i had curly hair
I’m in the market for a new foundation….which led me to this sight but I got distracted buy all the other pretty eye kits….most which I got but still working on finding another perfect foundation.
I’m having a fabulous, lazy day!
I am just starting my own blog and I came across you for inspiration!
Meow
No i’m no gambler
Thank you for the long weekend, I need rest and relaxation!
le sigh… I really want new cream blush!
Just came back from getting a pedicure. So happy to have freshly polished toes!
I can kinda salsa dance!
Happy Labor day!
Never been much of a gambler, it’s fun occasionally though!
I love dry shampoo! I use it at least twice a week. I do have to say that I almost always put my hair up when I use it because I feel like it still doesn’t look great when it’s not freshly washed. Saves me time in the shower though!
I tweeted!
I found a really nice dry shampoo from aveeno!
I don’t like gambling just thinking about it makes me feel guilty because its basically throwing money away I would rather spend it on makeup lol!!
Love Sephora π
Dry shampoo doesn’t work ell for my curly hair!
Just bought my college textbooks for the semester. Oh, my poor wallet π
I am…a terrible gambler. I have okay luck at Craps, but mostly when I’m rolling for other people, not when I’m playing myself! Guess half good luck is better than none at all!
I am so excited about Burberry…but this will go a long way towards some becca!
My husband does not understand my love for all things makeup and beauty! So glad that you do π I wonder if dry shampoo works on “ethnic hair” like mine– I would invest in that
I’m procrastinating on a paper right now. I really REALLY don’t want to write it.
Only about 2,000 words left!
I would love to learn how to salsa dance! It looks so exciting and really fun. Plus I always think of Richard Gere in “Shall We Dance.” Oh Richard Gere π
One day I will win one of these gift cards!!!!
Long weekend! Can’t believe school is starting again…busy time for teachers XD
I LOVE dry shampoo! I used to not understand it, until I got bangs. Now I can’t live without it!
I tried dried shampoo but it didn’t work for me. I loved the added volume, but sometimes it looked like I had dandruff. Maybe I used too much.
I love using dry shampoo when I feel lazy to wash my hair!
bum bum de dum
Dry shampoo has been my life saver for these last two weeks of college. My favorite is the suave and its super cheap!
LoL just so you know, I read a post that Jeremy Renner used to be a makeup artist to get by before he got big movie roles! π
hi karen! thanks for holding this giveaway (:
hope i win!
thanks for all your giveaways. i appreciate the chance. i love the ocean more than anything. i don’t live near one, but i travel once a year to my favorite spot in florida, Seagrove Beach. i wish was there now because i came down with double pneumonia today. so bummed out. wish i was shopping online at sephora, at the beach!
Enjoying my sweet, sweet Sunday evenin!!
The last trip I took was to Texas, it was great! π
Hi Karen! Thanks for all the amazing giveaways….I know that one day it’ll be me and I’ll get to make a special trip to Sephora :0
My favourite Dry Shampoo hands down is made by TIGI. CANNOT live without it and usually have at least 2 at home.
We just got back from our local Waterpark and while it was so much fun, I’m so sunburnt. You’d think in my 30s I’d know better. I used sunscreen and even reapplied but still π
Anyways….time to quit whining! Thanks again and have a great Labor Day
I’m moving to a new apartment tomorrow! AHH!!!
The 1cent slots! hahaha:))
awesome giveaway.
A friend and I took ballroom dancing lessons for a while – it was a lot of fun π

I went to Sephora today……for the first time ever! I bought the Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer and was just googling it to read reviews and I found you! So I read your review and now I’m excited the girls there recommended it. I added you to my reader and can’t wait to explore your blog! Yay!!!!
Dry shampoo is my religion. I love the Dove one (as long as I twist the top so it doesn’t run out). Being a redhead, those white streaks look pretty stupid, but this leaves no residue. I absolutely love it.
i think i’ll go down to boston tomorrow. i’m excited π
Love a long weekend
I want to live near the ocean. For sure.
love dry shampoo when i go overboard on the styling products and need to get the greasy look outta my hair. my fav palette which i have a back up of is urban decays rollergirl . i just now discovered and love your review of it where you suggest things to do with the hot pink shade. ive been only using it as a light crease color over suspect but now i cant wait to try a couple of your ideas out.. i am not much of a blog follower but yours is one of the select few i keep coming back to. keep up the great work:)
I’m currently making creme brulee – surprisingly easy for such delicious gains!
I WANNA WIN!!
I’m half Italian half cowboy
I’m getting married.
Dry shampoo has never worked well in my hair..
Yeah! On the lookout for a new blush……..
I would love to learn to salsa!
I only like the HUGE spinning wheel at casinos. Last time I was in Las Vegas I saw Kim Kardashian by the elevator at our hotel.
I always lose money when I gamble π
happy labor day weekend!
Nars Dragon Girl has been on my wish list for far tooooo long!!!!! *sigh*
I think I’ve gambled twice in my life. Freshman post-prom had a casino theme. So I’m assuming I did at that time. And I was invited to a poker game once. I had to be taught how to play but I definitely had beginners luck and won like $20.
Dry shampoo’s a life saver!!!!
Hi everyone!
I use dry shampoo a lot. I can wash my hair every three days, but just the very top might get oily depending on the weather / my physical activity — so dry shampoo helps out a lot.
I buy back-ups of Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in black.
yay its almost fall
Not a gambler at all the first time I went to Vegas I lost $30. I could have bought something at Sephora!
I love video poker!
Am going on a trip to Arkansas to see my daughter and her new hubby. I buy a lot of pink coral nail polish. Love it! I dont gamble cos I like a sure thing. π
I was browsing the Prescriptives website today..great brand, sad it’s gone.
I play Lotto every week. It’s my retirement plan! (kidding)
I LOVE dry shampoo. Oscar Blandi’s non-aerosol shampoo is a little fussy but it smells awesome and really does make my hair look less greasy. Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
i don’t understand jane austen but she seems cool
dry shampoos are life savers. i love my suave one. it smells delicious and works really well
It’s funny, my parents are big gamblers, but I never gamble at all!
I miss the Pacific Ocean!
I think the one product I have backed up is MAC’s By Candlelight Mineralized Skin Finish, it’s such a nice glowy highlighter for me! I seriously have like 5 of them plus the one I use now that has a big dip in it lol…
I never gamble- I have terrible luck with it and would rather have my money go somewhere more concrete!
I’m so thrilled to be going to Tahoe in two weeks!
Have you tried any of those special cat wipes? The ones that are like Wet Wipes and Febreze all in one for felines? I think they might be a good investment for my dirty little friends.
We got really nice beaches here in the Philippines! I dream to have a beachfront house or cabin when I and my husband retire!
I absolutely LOVE Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner and Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, so I buy backups of those, but the latter is only available to me on Sephora online as the Sephora stores here in Malaysia don’t carry the makeup range (And most other brands that Sephora online carries e.g. Hourglass, butter London, NARS, Illamasqua, Becca, which is a huge shame as I’d love to try out all the other brands!).

Reading about Ryan Lochte’s racist sister, Megan. She did the near impossible task of making him look smart in comparison to her.
I would love to learn to salsa, but I’m not cordinated at all!
I want to buy the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation π
I’m not much of a gambler. I play the quarter slots when we go to Vegas. π
Oh I bought once my favorite mascara by YSL twice so that I will not run out!
Dry shampoo is magic! I try to wash my hair every 2-3 days, so dry shampoo helps is look decent.
I just realized I missed the giveaway deadline, but that’s okay!
Happy Labour day!
Taking a break from studying for a quiz tomorrow. Yikes!
i have GOT to go on a no buy and this would majorly help!!!
I am not a gambler!
I haven’t been on vacation in a VERY long time…I’d love to go to San Francisco or LA on my next trip….whenever that may be!
I decided to drop that one annoying class . . . and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Woohoo!
I have seen the ocean. It’s crazy beautiful and completely unpredictable.
