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

It’s hard to believe it’s already October… Halloween is just a couple weeks away. Pumpkins are popping up everywhere, and we actually had our first rains of the season this week.

Not cool, Mother Nature. Not cool. 🙂

A lot of my friends prefer this time of year, the autumn, but I wish we could just have summer all year long. I’m one of those savannah cats that likes the heat more than the cold.

This weekend, I just want to catch my breath, watch a little Revenge on TV and maybe do some shopping for a dining room table.

Yes, I still have an empty dining room after more than three years. Well, except for the cardboard boxes, bags of clothes for donation and the food and water bowls for Tabs. He sort of owns the dining room right now, but I reeeeally want it back.

My in-laws have been visiting for a couple days, so that’s been nice. They’ve been keeping themselves busy during the day while El Hub and I work, but we meet them at night for meals. We went out to dinner to a little Italian place in the very pretty, woodland town of Larkspur last night (Fabrizio’s Ristorante), and in a little while we’re meeting them down the street here in Novato for breakfast at Marvin’s.

You know how it is when people visit from out of town. You eat lots and lots and food.

I hope whatever you’re up to, things are good. Have a great day today, and good luck in this weekend’s Sephora e-gift card giveaway. Talk to you soon. 🙂

What folks are saying…

“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

“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. 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

    Love that you’re eating well and trying some delicious places! We mostly cook at home, but love when visitors come. Last night, I tried to replicate a delicious dish from a local italian restaurant. We sauteed crimini mushrooms, basil and white onions in olive oil and butter, and then tossed it with the butternut squash ravioli from TJs. I shaved a little parm on top, and we had a salad. It was yummy. Have you tried that ravioli?

    One of my favorite memories is gutting pumpkins with my mom, going through all the guts, picking out the seeds, and baking them 🙂 It is such a cool process, and you really use every bit of the pumpkin ^_^

    My favorite season is spring! Everything is so light, airy, and just happy. The weather is also perfect for me – a bit chilly but you can still feel some sun heat! <3 I like Italian food, although most of the time I opt for something else because it's a bit too heavy for me! I've always wanted to dye my hair baby/strawberry milkshake pink and I LOVE glitter nail polish!

    How is your weekend going Karen?? Give Tabby a kiss for me 😀

    Hi! My favorite season is absolutely autumn! I love the cooler weather, the warmer scents and colors. I adore the brisk change in the air and the whiff of fireplaces back in use. The fiery oranges and sunset ambers and golds of the leaves are fun, and I love the plums, wine reds, forest greens and midnight navies of fall cosmetics and clothes. Plus, who can resist the embrasing aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and warm vanilla?

    I love autum when it looks like autumn, beautiful orange and golden leaves on trees and everywhere. I love the weather then, a little bit of sun and wind. But it’s never autumn, autumn here. It just gets colder. 🙁

    My hair right now is bright, bright blue! I have to be honest, I love it because I get more compliments when my hair sticks out than I ever did when my hair was its natural color. My bangs are platinum blonde with purple tips, and my hair is neon blue ombre that fades to black at the bottom. It’s beautiful, I have to redo it at least once a month, but I love all the compliments I get on it. Pravana and the Color Ion from sally’s make the best primary colored hair dyes, they seriously last a ridiculously long time, and they don’t fade weird. I used to use Manic Panic, and the blue would fade to this awful greenish color. When I use Pravana or Color Ion, it fades to a lovely shade of turquoise or pastel-blue so I can keep it for up to a month (until I get tired of my dark roots and redo it.)

    The burning question I have for the world today is, what is sassafras? I hear people talking about it all the time around where I’m currently professionally exiled. It appears to be what one used to make rootbeer out of, before you know the FDA banned it for liver damage. Hmmmm. So is it something the locals have been using to make homebrew rootbeer? Intriguing.

    Is it wrong to wonder what it smells like? I love my liver too hard to try some out, but just a sniff? What do you guys think?

    My favorite hairstyle ever was when I was in college and I dyed it blue. I bleached out the bottom 4 inches of my dark brown hair and then dipped it in Manic Panic’s Shocking Blue (for waaay longer than the container says to leave it on). My ends were this amazing vibrant color, but because it was just the ends it wasn’t overwhelming.

    I am always confused when it comes to makeup and name brands…. For real, is it better to just buy the colors and all at like Walmart vs going to MAC or another high end cosmetics counter. I do love MAC, but am wondering if it really is worth the mony we spend… All inputs are welcome…lol

    Love italian food my favs is lasagna , and also loce pasta with pesto and alfredo sauce, Ia enjoy a four cheese pasta. Bolognese pasta which we had today
    as dessert I love tiramisu.

    Glitter on my nails depends it has to be very small micro in one color and a very similar color than on the polish . something like LA color Addict. OPI Unripened.
    NOT chunky , hexagonal or multi colors

    If should dare I should make my hair blue, royal blue, instead I used a blue hair dye to cover my start of grey hairs. My hair is almost black kind of soft black so u wont see the blue right away, but the grey does.

Fabulous food. (Yes I amore Italian food!) And Marvin’s, in Novato, best breakfast in town! Soooo jealous. Do you ever eat at Lark Creek Inn? Is the Half Day Cafe still in Kentfiel? They had a good breakfast, too.

    My favorite season is definitely Autumn 🙂 Winter comes in a close second. I lovelovelovelove Italian food. I don’t think I would dye my hair such a bright and bold hue.. it would scare me. I love glitter on one nail or at the tips, but I don’t think I could do all of my fingers especially since it’s so hard to get off. I hung out with my boyfriend this weekend whom I haven’t seen in two weeks! 🙂 I have never carved a pumpkin, though I would love to!

    Autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year. I think overall I just function better when it cools down and the leaves are changing colors. I often get really nostalgic, but it is also a time of rejuvenation. My birthday is in November, and this year it will fall on Thanksgiving (as it did in the year I was born) so that will be fun. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

    Spring is my favorite season, because it means the winter is finally over. Fall is pretty nice too, but it means the cold and dreary weather of winter is coming.

    My favorite season depends on where I’m living. Growing up in New England, it was spring, in Texas it was the fall, and in the Northwest I like summer.

    I would love to dye my hair bright canary yellow. I am naturally blonde and I’ve dyed it purple in high school, took forever to get that out!

    I love it in seattle, the rain is coming and I cuddle with my two dogs consuming coffee and everything pumpkin flavored! It’s also the perfect time to enjoy a book.

    Hi Karen, I really like glitter polishes like Deborah Lippmann’s collection, but I have such a hard time removing the polish from my nails. Those bigger glitter pieces sometimes just won’t budge. Ugh. So for the moment I’m loving dark creme colors.

    I never ever styled my hair until recently. I have straight black hair that behaves well when air dried, so I didn’t mess with it. But I’ve started curling the ends slightly and putting serums and stuff into my hair, and I’m starting to realize why other girls spend so much time on their hair! I’m considering a multi-dimensional dye job, where you keep your top layer natural color and go two or three shades lighter on the layers underneath.

    I could really use that sephora gift card for a new foundation this winter! My skin is already way too pale for the two I have in my makeup arsenal. My skin also is super dry all of a sudden so I need something hydrating and lightweight! Nars Punjab sheer glow is my go to. Might pick up a new one in a lighter shade, or I might get something, maybe even more dewy?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
