Two Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora!

October 27th, 2012 by Karen 461 Comments

WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is AG! Congratulations, AG! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

Win a $50 eGift card from Sephora
The Novato, California, Sephora store illuminated by the brand new Canon Wonderland WL-600 Flash…

I’ve been testing Canon’s brand new camera flash this week, the Wonderland WL-600, and wow! — it’s even better than I expected. I took it to the Sephora store down the street and fired off a couple of shots. That’s one of ’em up there at the top…

Pretty neat, huh? That’s the amazing stuff we’re missing when we just look with our normal eyes. 🙂

In other news, happy Saturday! I just hopped off the treadmill after a slightly grueling run, and now I’m just cooling down for a few minutes before I clean up.

How’s it going today? Big storm out there off the East Coast… I hope it decides to take a hard right today and heads out to sea.

Wherever you are, and whatever you’re up to this weekend, have a good one, okay? You deserve a break.

Before you jet, take a moment to enter this weekend’s $50 Sephora eGift card giveaway. It only takes a comment at the bottom of this post (and a tweet for a second chance to win).

Good luck!

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

    I am an old school, pen & paper gamer (Lady Zeal is named after a NPC from a game system). I started with a few OD&D games with the local kids when I was 11 and then played a ton of games after I started dating my ex-husband. I’m going to turn 40 this Jan & I still play RPGs sometimes on line (just started a new Pathfinder PbP Game). I also used to play a lot of video games, like Doom & Tomb Raider, but I don’t play them much either anymore. I do like watching other stream games online though.

    I rarely ever line my lips. Most lip liners tend to dry my lips and adding a layer of balm/gloss on top of the lipstick just make the whole look too heavy.

    Because I shampoo my hair about once a month* I have to use something that’s good at stripping build up without over drying, which is why I use Dr. Bronner’s, the same stuff I use daily for showers. My favorite is peppermint because I absolutely love the smell and the tingle. I do fear getting it in my eyes when I rinse my hair. The burn is enough to temporarily cripple you. Like Voldemort inflicting the Cruciatus Curse.

    *I have super curly/kinky hair so I primarily wash my hair with conditioners to keep it from getting dry.

    Hi Karen! I had the most wonderful evening last night. The hubs and I saw a great new musical at the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park in my hometown San Diego. We even stayed afterward and got to meet my idol Lea Salonga and George Takei! I must say I geeked out meeting Lea! We enjoyed a great dinner at The Prado beforehand. If you ever spend time here I think you would enjoy it there. Ask to sit on the back patio to enjoy the beautiful view of the park. 🙂

    I have actually never lined my lips. I keep eyeing the Lipstick Queen Invisible Liner as a possible stepping stone to using colored lip liner. Sadly I think I am approaching an age where it will become a necessity.

    I used to kick butt at Trivial Pursuit, but it has been so long since I played that I don’t know if I still have it or not!

    As for winter moisturizer, that depends on if you’re talking face or body. If you mean face, nothing changes for me when the seasons change since my skin is HELLA oily. I thought getting old(er) would change that, but at 45 I still can’t keep foundation on, even with primer. Body moisturizer does change, and I switch to butters, like the ones by The Body Shop or Bath & Body Works. Lovely stuff.

    My favorite shampoo is Matrix Biolage Delicate Care. It’s the only sulfate-free shampoo that I’ve tried with which I don’t have to shampoo twice. It has a nice silky soft lather and cleans away all the hair products without stripping. I only use a little bit, so it lasts a long time and smells so nice.
    My daughter uses the Garnier Pure Clean shampoo and conditioner and I wish I could too becuase it is the best-smelling shampoo and coniditoner ever. Clean, delicious, slightly fruity but not cloying or perfumey at all.

    I just found out about the Trader Joe’s rose moisturizer and I absolutely love, especially for $4!

    Yes, I do believe in magic…There’re so many shampoos to try, I still don’t have a favourite! I like body shimmer but not glitter. I’m not a gamer but I like playing FB games. Does that count? I hardly ever line my lips. I’m really lazy with creams, but I love scented ones in general.
    There. I answered a couple of questions from above! 🙂

    Vegas = DRY! Infusium is the only thing that makes any difference.

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).
