A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway
two ways to win a $50 eCard from sephora

I can totally picture my little tabby Jedi fighting alongside Yoda against the Separatist droid forces… 🙂

So how’s it going this morning? Are you coming down from the whir of the holidays? I’m still kind of in that buzzing mode. I have to run to the mall a little later today, and I’m wondering what the crowds are gonna be like. I hope they aren’t too out of control.

Oh, guess what I’ve been doing lately? About a week ago I started re-watching the entire series run of The Hills on Netflix. I’m almost finished with season three, when everything pretty much revolves around the Spencer/Heidi/LC/Audrina/Lo maelstrom of melodrama.

I get so sad watching Heidi get caught up in everything and how she’s totally manipulated by Spencer… Like El Hub always says, “That guy really needs to get his @ss kicked.”

Anywho, I hope you have a good weekend. Here’s a Sephora eGift card giveaway to move things along. 🙂

What folks are saying…

“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie

“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

“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night!”
-Zharlynne

“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)

“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 used to be a Pet Groomer at a Pet Store, but then My Left hand by my Ring Finger got an infection and I had to get it operated so I was forbidden to groom ever again at the pet store, But I am allowed to groom my pets. I have 2 Dogs and I normally take turns when I groom them, so I have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life with my pets and I am saving a lot of money.

    Dear Karen,

    I would please like to win this for once! For the following reasons:

    1. I’d like to cheer my Mum up a bit following her knee replacement surgery. She’s not bought or worn any makeup since I was born because she gave that up to save more money to raise me and my brother. Now that we’re all grown up she balks at the price of makeup and I’d love to re-introduce makeup to her. She’s always been great at applying makeup when she was younger and she does a good job doing makeup for me too that it’s a shame to let her skills go to waste! Oh and how are the surgery and not wearing makeup since 20++ years ago related? Because she’s not feeling too comfortable (It’s normal, but still) so getting her some sparkly new makeup might cheer her up!
    2. In the past year I’ve met and befriended 2 lovely local beauty bloggers who I love with all my heart, and even though it’s late I’d like to get them a late Christmas present from something only available on Sephora US, e.g. Tarte (We’re in Malaysia). At least it’d be something unique for them!
    3. I’m getting married next year, so some new skincare/makeup to help achieve that radiant bridal glow everyone’s talking about would be great!

    The $50 may not be much to fulfill all the above but it will definitely help lighten the burden! 😀 Thank you so much xxxx

    I don’t curl my lashes AND they’re not naturally curly, either–I think I should, but I just can’t be bothered to buy lash curler after lash curler in an effort to find one that doesn’t pinch. I do everything else makeup-wise, but for some reason, I just haven’t broken down & re-tried lash curling since I grew to hate it so much in high school!

    I have the GREATEST Best Friend Ever because We went Christmas shopping a couple weeks ago for one of our closest friends and as we were shopping I fell in love with a purse I saw, but was eager to purchase. When we exchanged gifts this year it was a total surprise to see she bought me the purse I had my eye on. I was excited and shocked at the same time becasue it was the last one they had in the store and I didn’t think I would see it again. I Truly LOVE Her Gift The most this year.

    My lashes are stick-straight, but my revlon and shu curlers take care of it all. Though the shu is a great curler, you should be aware that the curler doesn’t open very big, the “mouth” you put your lashes into is quite small. The revlon has both more horizontal and vertical space

    I work out less frequently in the winter, but I still exercise regularly. More yoga/pilates and weight lifting instead of so much cardio.

    Hi Karen and Tabs! My most favourite makeup remover has got to be by the Korean brand Innisfree. It is called ‘Innisfree Olive Real cleansing tissue’ and it is AMAZING. it’s oil based, removes every last drop, and they are packed like box-tissue, as well as easily ripped, meaning that I can rip a small bit off instead of wasting a whole sheet. the tissues are soft but strong, and the packaging is a simple/sturdy plastic top. It costs 5000 korean Won, which is like $5! I love it, and I just wanted to share with everyone. 🙂

    I get my pet aka my son groomed once a month. My Bichon Frise is my everything. I know it’s cliche but he understands & feels my love for him. He was the best Christmas gift I got this year because 2 nights before Christmas he got real sick. He was in pain, crying, fever & shivering before I rushed him to a nearby ER. He’s 11yrs old so after seen by the vet, she told me his labs are good but he has a bad spine, enlarged spleen & chronic pain due to arthritis & old age. He was given pain meds & other medications. He slept like a baby that morning & I nursed him back to his normal self. I spent close to $1000 I didn’t have but I couldn’t bare to watch and see my baby in that much pain. So this Christmas I didn’t get anything for myself or anyone. He was my gift & his love for me is the best Christmas gift. Cheers to good health for all of us! Xx Erin Anne

    Favorite Star Wars movie has to be Return of the Jedi – the old school one and not the one that was “improved” by George Lucas.

    Nope, I dont curl my eyelashes. They’re naturally curly.. I guess I should feel lucky! lol.. I even bought an eyelash curler to see if there would be a difference, but nope.. it just looks the same! 🙂

    My fav star wars character is princess leia btw.. lol.. my name’s leya and its pronounced the same way.. so growing up, whenever people called me “leah” i’d say, nope.. its leya as in princess leia from star wars.. 😀

    My fav beauty gift this year is MAC’s crushed pigment set from my BF’s sister. It’s so sparkly and attention-grabbing. The texture’s a little hard to work with, but it’s worth it.

    Wish you a happy new year! To Karen and all the other readers!

    I like Star Wars, all except the 1st episode (Darth Vader child)

    In the closely coming 2013, I hope those ebay-like online seller would be banned from buying too much to leave some Tom Ford stocks for us locals, and look foward to MAC relaunching those paint pots of limited colors.

    Thank you for hosting this giveaway! If there is one thing I love about Sephora, it is their value sets. ^^ The Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons palette has caught my eye recently.

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).
