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

NOVATO, California (November 3, 2012) — This November, for one day only, cats are taking over Sephora.

“It’s about damned time,” said Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog mascot and world-renowned plus-size kitty supermodel. “Cats are synonymous with beauty, and my feline friends and I plan to change the beauty world, one tail twitch at a time.”

This Sunday, November 4, Tabs and other feline fashion and beauty industry heavyweights will take over the regular staffing duties of Sephora employees and makeup artists at select stores worldwide. The cats will man the registers, cruise the aisles and advise beauty lovers on fragrance, skincare and cosmetics from a feline perspective. Shoppers can also expect to learn about cat-approved products.

“My friends and I are very excited to partner with Sephora on this exciting project,” said Tabs. “I can’t wait to help women realize their beautiful potential. It’s going to be a blast.” 🙂

. . .

Rise and shine, pal o’ mine! Welcome to the weekend. Hope you had a nice Friday night. Mine was pretty chill. El Hub and I had date night at Pasta Pomodoro, and then came home and rented a movie, Safety Not Guaranteed (a little slow, but charming).

I haven’t figured out my plan for the day yet, but I do know it involves a workout and some mommy and tabby time.

Don’t forget to enter this weekend’s giveaway for a $50 eGift card to Sephora before you go (details below). Have a great weekend, and may the odds be ever in your favor. 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

  • There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, what were you doing in 1990 (if you weren’t born yet, that counts as an answer)? Do you do big hair? What brush do you use for bronzer? Do you know of a full-coverage under-eye concealer that doesn’t look cakey? Recommendations for affordable clip-in bangs that don’t look too terrible? What’s the best full-coverage foundation for very dry, flaky skin? — you get the idea.
  • Second, you can enter by following me on twitter Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
    • Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/RDXqZO

  • Contest is open to individuals of any country who have reached the age of majority according to their local laws (18 in the United States with these exceptions: Alabama and Nebraska, 19; Mississippi, 21).
  • Sephora eGift Certificates can only be redeemed online and are not valid in stores or available for purchase or redemption in Canada. International winners may opt to substitute the Sephora eGift card prize for $50 sent directly to their email address by PayPal instead.
  • Tabs and I (heretofore referred to as “T-Money and K-Dawg”) will select one (1) winner at random from the entries either left in the comments at the bottom of this blog post or addressed to @karenmbb on Twitter.

    Kind of nervous- the fiance’s coming down next week for a few days to settle some pre-wedding stuff and it’s going to be hectic! Have to be prepared for the pre-wedding photoshoot (It’s kind of a “Chinese” thing, I think, getting photos of the couple taken before the wedding and all) in December and pick up our rings! 🙂

And I am not a big on concealers but I have been using Maybelline Age Rewind under eye concealer and it does a great job and it’s cheap. In 1990 I was 6 years old so just staying at home 🙂

    For the past 2 months, I have been trying to convince myself that I do not need Urban Decay’s Vice palette. I already own 7 (show pony, vegan, roller girl, BOS III and IV, Naked 2, and the Black Palette), but Vice is just something else. The colors are so intriguing, and I still don’t own any eyeshadows with the new formula. Do I need it? Probably not. Do I want it so bad I feel like I’ll be incomplete without it? Definitely.

    In 1990 I was in second grade. It’s a great age because my fellow classmates didn’t realize how much of a dork I was yet. 2 years later I would get a perm and some fairly complex orthodontia and it was pretty rough until I got my braces off and my perm grew out.

    By the way, I posted a response on the Monday questionnaire (not this past Monday but the one before) about how I was going to New York for the weekend. Yea… That turned out to be an eight day trip. I was staying with a friend on the upper west side so we still had water and power. A friend of ours works for an event & catering company downtown and they had just purchased 5 brand new Viking commercial ovens. When they went to check the kitchen on Wednesday they were floating in several feet of water 🙁

    I don’t know if it’s good for dry flaky skin, but Kat VonD’s tattoo foundation is the best foundation I have ever, EVER used. I have blotchy combination skin and dark under eye circles and the stuff covers everything up without looking fake. I hope they never discontinue it.

    Hi Karen!!! I abssolutely LOVE big hair!!! It might be because of my Southern upbringing haha!! The secret is the correct shampoo and conditioner, a cylindrical brush, big rollers, and a great hair dryer!!
    Make sure you put in a heat protector before blow drying, my favorite is Tre Semme Heat Protectant!!

    I was 8 in 1990, and rockin’ out like 8 year olds do. But then I lost my groove when mommy dearest chopped off my long blond locks and gave me a bowl cut. Oh the horror! Mom said it was the Dorothy Hamill hair cut (sure, Dorothy Hamill became somewhat of an American icon after she won gold in women’s figure skating at the Olympics…..in 1976). Thanks Mom, lol.

    And by the way, my favourite undereye concealer is, hands down, Skinfood Salmon Dark Circle Concealer Cream. It’s my go-to product when I want that, “hey, I’m bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning” look. Which is every morning.

I’d rather go without and have bags than obvious makeup. The MU used Tarte Marajuca Miracle on me and it wasn’t bad. Still wasn’t perfect but one of the best I’ve tried in awhile. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. Have a good weekend.

    recently, i’ve been using korres lip butter, and it’s amazing! some balms/butters give you that shiny, greasy look on your lips, but not korres. 🙂 when it dries, the pigments stay on your lips, so they’re nicely-colored as well.

    BEST undereye concealer: IT Cosmetics, BYE BYE Undereye. I use the fair (or is it light? I am downstairs and IT is up.) Apply with brush, just need a tiny squirt, blend and pat with sponge and/or finger. It is the best I have ever used! EVER! Does not cake or crease. PERFECT! Love IT!!!

    Kisses for TABS.

    The best full coverage foundation for dry skin is definitely the Laura Mercier silk cream foundation! It has a satin finish so it makes your skin look Dewey and bright instead of dry and flaky. It’s a bit on the pricier side but its definitely worth it!

    I believe I was in preschool. And, I like Estee Lauder Double Wear for full-coverage foundation. Almost any foundation “bounced” lightly onto the skin with a damp beauty blender-type sponge will work on dry flaky skin, because it doesn’t pull the skin in any direction like rubbing with fingers or a brush would.

    The New Years Eve going from ’89 into ’90 was the first time a really truly *got* it. Before then I just thought it was a kind of boring holiday where I counted down from ten along with Dick Clark and soon after school would be back from winter break.
    But that night my mom said “Coley, this is a fun one because we’re going into a new decade, something we only do every ten years. But this time when the new decade is over it’ll also be a new century, something that only happens every 100 years and it’ll be a new millenium, something that only happens every 1000 years. It’s special because it’s the beginning of the end of something.”
    That concept just flat out blew my 8 year old brain. Every New Years since then it’s what I think about.
    So….that’s what I was doing at the very beginning of 1990.

    For bronzer brushes – can sometimes depend on the bronzer. If I’m using my regular TF Milk Chocolate Soleil, I use a fluffy brush I got from Walmart – their HD brushes are awesome but can be hard to find. If I’m using my PF Happy Booster bronzer, I use the EcoTools Finishing Kabuki (this is great for bronzer, all over powder, or finishing powder).

    Hi Karen, I had a great day yesterday. I ran my first 5k race, The Color Run. It was so much fun. Basically you run the course and every kilometer was a color station where they throw colored powder at you so in the end you look like something out of Willy Wonka’s factory! Definitely doing this again next year!

Now I’m 24 and I have to watch out for my rescue pitbull Margo, because she too loves makeup, at least she very much loves to eat it. Margo’s particular favorites include bare mineral brushes and eyeshadow palettes. I thouhgt naming her Margo would inspire her to be more of a lady but so far it’s only inspired her to eat all my lipgloss, and red is not her color…

Well I stopped using it because I couldn’t handle how tight my skin got. So I used it for four nights and my skin is still flaking a week later. I can’t wear makeup because it looks so terrible. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I drink lots of water and moisturize but I would like to speed up the healing process.

    In 1990 I was in preschool – I always got in trouble for not wanting to take naps. I would always insist that I wanted to read instead. The teachers thought I was lying about knowing how to read and called my mom to tell her I was being bad, but she got mad at them because I did know how to read! After that, I got to read quietly while everyone else had to take naps. Come to think of it, I still often find myself reading instead of sleeping…

    Well, today i spent the day doing my mom’s makeup, cleaning my makeup brushes with the Sonia Kashuk brush and sponge cleaner i bought today, and watching sappy romantic/romantic-comedy movies while i made mixtapes for my friends…you know the kind people in movies make for the person they have a crush and what not. I didn’t have cassette tapes so i put it on a cd. one of the songs on the mixtapes is Thirteen by Big Star. It makes me happy. But in 1990, i wasn’t thought of til 5 years later, which makes me 17 now. I enjoy makeup, a lot. However, I go barefaced to school because i enjoy the extra 10 minutes of sleep. I like frosted sugar cookies and have eaten too many chocolate chip cookies that i don’t enjoy them anymore. I really like mashed potates and gravy with honey smoked ham on the side, which make me happy that thanksgiving is going to come around and that i get to watch christmas specials.

    A concealer that doesn’t cake up? That’s an urban legend.

    In 1990 I was in kindergarten–and blonde, which is strange to think about now. My hair turned dark brown!

    And I use a big fluffy Sonia Kashuk powder brush for bronzer.

    I love big hair for costumes, but most of the time I spend my days in ponytails. But when I do want big hair, I flip my hair upside-down and blow dry it that way… then I come up looking like Barbarella!

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).
