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

SLUMBER PARTY!

Today’s the day! I’ve had these plans for about three months now, and I’ve been counting down the days (and seconds). I’m heading with my friends, Jen and Cindy, who I haven’t seen in months, to the Claremont Hotel over in nearby Berkeley for a girls slumber party and spa day.

I picked the aroma therapy massage, which is supposed to de-stress you…

Perfect! — because Tabs has been working me to the bone.

Even though it was a short week, I feel like I got quite a few things done. I tried some new things in my writing process, like using different tech tools, like my phone, and trying to get out a bit more, out to the counters to hang out with the makeup artists and see some of the new stuff for spring.

I’m really excited about spring, both the makeup and the weather. I’m so over wearing thermals…

I hope your week went well and the year got off to a good start. Let’s see if we can’t make it a little better this weekend with a bangin’ Sephora giveaway for a $50 eGift card.

I love Sephora! I could get lost there for hours (and have on many occasions). Whenever I’m in the store, I always know it’s time to go when El Hub walks in, stands around me and just sort of hovers… Sometimes he breathes very loudly, too. That’s my non-verbal cue to hurry up. 🙂

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

  12. I really hate doing anything with my legs in the winter, but I do.

    Last night I shaved my legs using pure coconut oil for the first time. They were so smooth off the bat, and I didn’t necessarily have to moisturize afterwards, but I put another layer of oil on them afterwards.

    I’ve got the smoothest non-irritated after shaving legs I’ve ever had right now. I’m in love.

  52. I haven’t had real bangs since elementary school. I always found them too much of a hassle and I don’t think I look good with them. When I do get bangs now and generally get them longer since I tend to part my hair on the side. Thanks for a great giveaway.

  55. I used to have bangs when I was kid and my mom would always cut them too short! Also as much as I try to become either a back or side sleeper, I can’t help but sleep on my back 😛

  82. A few months ago my otherwise awesome hairdresser cut my bangs… well, not TOO short exactly, but short enough that I couldn’t wear them to the side like I normally do. My hair grows fast, though, so I only saw my high school self in the mirror for a short time.

  95. I totally sucked at having slumber parties! Not only did I not really have girlfriends (and having mixed slumber parties was frowned upon), but I couldn’t ever sleep anywhere but home! Every time I went to a friend’s party, I would end up calling my mom to come get me by 10pm!

  106. Last Slumber Party–probably High School. We were such “good girls who got good grades” no one suspected us of being naughty. Let’s see, we’d steal cigarettes from our parents and try to smoke them (cough cough), steal booze and fill the missing part with water, if boys came over we’d play spin the bottle. Once we even found a vending machine that beer in it so we sent to boys to get some. Fortunately, no one was caught or arrested. We’d also do things like dip a sleeping girl’s hand in warm water to see if she’d pee (she didn’t–an urban myth). This was years and years ago, we had a ton a fun.

  110. My friends and I would occasionally build these epic, maze-like forts in my basement during sleepovers. Then we’d stay up on a sugar high drinking chocolate milk. Good times.

  114. I always keep my legs shaved. I prefer to wax them, but the grow out bothers me. When I was young, sleep overs were a regular thing. We watched fun movies and tried to stay up all night. I would love this giftcard. My husband is always overseas and I am raising our young son and three pups alone. I need something fun for myself to look forward to. I love beauty everything. It would be such a nice treat 🙂

  155. I’m pretty sure that this is disgusting and nobody needs to know this, but I don’t get rid of leg hair in the winter. (I don’t shave or wax them, I prefer depilatories.) From October to April, I just let the hair grow out. Since it’s cold here, I’m always wearing long pants, so it doesn’t even matter. But when I was in high school and had to wear a uniform for P.E., I’d wear knee-high socks with my shorts.

    Here’s a little brand-dropping; Have you ever tried anything forLa Roche Posay? I’ve been breaking out lately (stress of finals, poor diet, lack of sleep) and their Effaclar Duo is absolutely amazing. Give it a try if your combo skin gets irritated!

    Reply

    • I just had to add my two cents Leslie. That Effaclar Duo is like liquid gold to me. Seriously my desert item product. I can’t rave enough about how much it has helped my skin. I should be a spokesperson for them, I accost random strangers in CVS and push this into their hands 🙂 ha ha!

  176. Once I had a hair dresser who was just supposed to tidy up some layers for me. She said she’d do a shorter layer chin length but I think she slipped or something and somehow they ended up just below my eyes! Accidental bang-chunks – not pretty.

  194. Up to when I was five I always had a short, blunt bob with straight bangs. Since I have a rather large head, I ended up looking like a mushroom. After that, I’ve kept my hair length medium to long ever since I had a choice in my haircut. Still, I look back at that bob quite fondly now, since it was very easy to maintain and it did suit me as a child 🙂

  237. I wasn’t allowed to go to slumber parties when I was a kid. My mom was way overprotective. Ah, well…and speaking of childhood, I haven’t had bangs since I was a teenager when an older cousin of mine told me if I didn’t have bangs I wouldn’t break out, especially on my forehead. She was right….20 years later I still have perfectly clear skin, thank goodness!

    I try to sleep on my back (less wrinkles) but end up sleeping on my side sometimes. Not as meticulous about shaving in winter since I wear tights, but will get bored and shave and swap out for black, grey or navy stockings.

    Been trying out the “Heattech” stuff from Uniqlo (there’s a b & m store in the City I’d like to visit). It’s definitely warm for its weight; they have camisoles, turtlenecks, tights, socks, yadda yadda…

  275. I go as long as I can between shaves in the winter. I like to imagine the little bit of hair keeps my legs slightly warmer 😉

    Reply

  279. I have to shave my lower legs once a week all year or the skin starts getting really rough no matter how much exfoliating I do otherwise. My thighs don’t get shaved as often in the winter though.

  280. I am definitely guilty of not shaving my legs much in the winter (maybe once a week). However, I just have to shave my underarms every day, regardless of what I am wearing. I don’t really know why, but I feel not ready if I haven’t shaved. weird.
    On a different note, thanks so much for this giveaway! I am a total beauty girl, and would love to win. I have my eye on some OCC lip tars, and I would definitely buy them if I win. NSFW, you would be mine!

  296. I had one bangs incident. I wanted to have straight bangs going through my whole forehead because they were very trendy. My hair stylist tried to talk me out of it but I still did it. 5 minutes later of course I was almost crying so my hair stylist had to fix it and cut it shorter so I could wear it to the side. Fortunately my hair grows fast 🙂

  299. Karen, hope you are having a wonderful New Years so far! I just shaved for the first time in about 2 weeks, but it seems like I did a terrible job and still have some fuzz! Anyone reading this comment, DO NOT try the EOS shaving cream. It is terrible and I can never tell what I’m shaving or not shaving, and to top it off it seems that the pump is broken on my bottle because I have about half a bottle left. 🙁

    Also, I just discovered a mail forwarding service that lets me order online, have it shipped to a US address, and the company forwards it to me in the Philippines. How cool is that? First thought was: Sephora!

    So if I win the gift card, I’ll have a Sephora shopping spree whee!

  342. Haha I don’t shave in the winter because no one sees my bare legs at all during this time of year!! Even if I had to expose my legs, I don’t have much leg hair so I could still go without shaving if I really wanted to!

  362. I agree with with @solangel. I have a great aesthetician and go to her for waxing when it becomes really bad, just to avoid shaving my legs. =)

  365. I sleep on my tummy but I’m trying to stop. The way I tuck my arm up under my head is messing up my shoulder. It’s really hard though to change how you sleep after 30 years! 🙁

  384. I’m a side sleeper. I fade my skin discolorations , usually with Ambi cream (cheap and effective). I’m dark-skinned, so my discolorations are almost black and nearly impossible to fully cover.

  419. Hello T-Money and K-Dawg! My lower back has been sore for a while. I blame it on getting older (which makes me sad). I have adjusted my bed sleep number to a cushier setting. Hope it works! What do you do when your muscles aren’t cooperating with your energy level?
