auroragyps says
Books, huh? Well, I just got some RPG books (role playing games, like old school Dungeons & Dragons) based on The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher & Dragonlance (by the makers of D&D), so I want to read those. I also have to read the newest Dresden book & finish the anthology. I’d like to reread the Game of Thrones books, in anticipation for the newest one coming out & to prep for the HBO series (I have to wait for the DVDs).
Not sure how much I’ll want to read because I have to go through & purge a ton of my books from my apt & storage anyways. I have about 2000+ (mostly sci fi & fantasy) mostly from books sales. I used to read all the time, but the last couple of years I’ve haven’t read much and I miss it.
You have the coolest giveaways! Thanks so much.

This colour is GORGEOUS!
Cassy says
Not so much a book I’d like to read since I just finished it, but Waiter Rant (which is a waiter’s weird on customers, coworkers and the industry) was kind of awesome. It really makes me think more about what I do when going to a restaurant. Like last night I couldn’t help but make sure to do nothing that would have annoyed the author when I was out to dinner. I don’t know if I can take the pressure! lol
LC says
I want! I’ve been eyeing this shade since your previous post about it.

looloolooweez says
I only use a lip brush when going with serious color. The sort of sheer fleshy pink stuff I wear daily doesn’t need a lot of tinkering to look right, but a bright red absolutely requires liner & a brush if I don’t want to get it all over the place.
Kelly says
My favorite lipstick right now is MAC Modesty with Love Necter on top.

I have so many books to read (for pleasure and for school/teaching) this summer! I just finished a graphic novel version of “The Divine Comedy,” and I’m working on a grammar book written for middle-school students (it is surprisingly good).
Yao says

Step says
I have so many bright and dark lipsticks but I get so nervous about wearing them in public, so I usually go with NYC’s Sheer Red. I wore Kat Von D’s Cathedral a few times during the winter though and was surprised how much I liked it.

I am loving red and pink lipsticks now that I’m 38 years old.

Tawni says
I want to try a red lipstick! But I just don’t know what kind of hue will look good on me and I so easily smear my make up. I’m scared!
Katie says
I prefer to use just the tube of lipstick and my middle finger. It works well if you want a semi-matte or stained look as opposed to a heavy wash of lipstick.
Anastasia says
I like cyndi lauper’s viva glam
Liza says
Thanks so much for the giveaway Karen! The color looks fab!
So excited for evolution revolution to come out! It’s on my last day of school:)

That’s a great shade for summer!
jessica davis says
I’m in love with the MAC Creemsheen lipgloss. The pink one, I can use it for day and night! I have lip brushes and want to use them but don’t take the time!
Had a nice week break from school. Back tomorrow to take on Chemistry. On my way to nursing school. Woohoo
Jay says

Jessica Leigh says
My favorite lipstick right now is Carthage by Nars. It’s perfect for summer!
amy says
I luuurve my Retractable lip brush from Sephora, and this lipstick would be a great companion for it ; }
Caitlin says
This color is so hot right now… maybe even hotter than Hansel. Books wise I’m currently in bed with “Sloppy Firsts” by Megan McCafferty. I’ve read it a ga-zillion times but what can I say… its like a security blanket: happy, familiar,and a wee bit angst-y.
Meezy says
four more days til a week of no classes!
Jarucha says
I don’t use a lip brush but I’m looking to buy one now, any suggestions?
Melody says
I wanted to buy this a couple of months ago but I got Ever Hip instead. I don’t think they’re anything alike! Ever Hip comes out kinda dull on me. I think my favorite lippie s Viva Glam Gaga. I just started wearing it again.
Marie says
I really liked your article about Vancouver. I’ve been wanting to g there for years! But its so far.
Jessica says
I’m loving Vegas Volt from MAC. Surprisingly easy to pull off summer shade.

My new favorite lip combo is actually E.L.F.’s matte lipcolor in Natural topped with their mineral gloss in Pageant Princess – super pretty pink combo 🙂
mn says
I’m trying to be better about using bold colors- this would certainly help!
voodoogirl says
twitter: stepfordwitch
this is such a pretty color 🙂 a girl can never have too many red lipsticks, right? 🙂
The Amber Dawn says
I’m just getting into makeup but I’m already sooo addicted! I spent all day watching tutorial videos, and I long for some luscious lipstick! (PS I twittered too. 🙂 )
Georgia says
My favourite lipstick is another beautiful coral – MAC Fresh Salmon. Sadly, that baby was limited edition with the Spring Colour Forecast and is on its last legs having snapped off several times (I find MAC lipsticks are the worst for lippie-snappage)…
Laura says
Right now my favorite lipstick is the Dior Addict lipstick in Garconne, but I love MAC lipsticks too!
Gwendolyn says
Gorgeous color!
Katrina says
Very pretty! My favorite right now is Chanel rouge coco, but the MAC lipsticks are pretty great as well!

I have a bad habit of buying books before I’ve finished older ones- I’d like to finish The Grapes of Wrath, but I started ready Mary Chestnut, the diary of a woman living in the South during the Civil War.

Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
After your fabo review, I need this lipstick! I adore coral and have never tried this one. Two books you have to read, Karen–The Help and The Bird Sisters–they are both truly exceptional books in a different way.
Jocelyn says
I love Vancouver, it’s such a neat city.
Amy says
This is so pretty!
Britney says
Hiya Karen…It has been a while since my last post and have missed out on so much here. I would just die without my MAC around. I so love everything about their products. I so wanted some Hello Kitty when it came out, but was not able to get out to get some. I love this color… I currently have Ruby Red and wear it for special occasions…. It is not one that I could wear everyday, but would if I could… I currently use MACs Mauve or Frost with a clear gloss, when not out glammin’ it up and trying to be subtle. It was mentioned to me though, that I should give Pink Treat Cremestick and Cultured Lipglass a try when out in DRAB… The girls think it is pretty without being too much… Anyway, hugs and hope you have a safe trip back….
Sarah says
This would be fun on my paaaale skin
Aleeya says
Oooh!!! I’m so in love with corals right now. I would love to add this one to my collection. Such a beautiful color.

My current favourite lipstick is Revlon Colourburst in 75 peach. So beautiful and wearable for the summer. But reds are fav for the night.
Victoria says
I love the color. I’m more of a tinted lip balm kinda person, but this might just change my mind!
Kate says
Yay! Giveaways!! Haha I have a Bare Escentuals lipstick in a deep berry (Berry Cordial actually) that I love!! I`m no lipstick expert but it goes on so nicely and lasts well (and natural ingredients!) plus the colour complements my skin tone so well! I`m quite pale and often have trouble finding a lip colour that doesn`t look shockingly out of place. Can`t wait to try MAC Crosswires!
corinne says
Love love love coral nails and lips

I’ve only owned two mac lip products in my life and they were both beautiful colors but I lost each of them. I’ve been so disheartened to buy new mac products because I don’t want to lose them again. I love mac lip products though.

laura says
well I’m pretty much a book nerd. so I have A LOT of books I want to read, however Ill tell you the best book Ive read this summer, its a romance novel called “His Eyes” by Renee Carter and its about a successful teen who loses his sight and this girl has to take care of him, its beautifu because the book is really deep and after reading this i firmly believe we should all fall inlove with our eyes closed..Ill leave the synopsis for you guys..
Amy Turner’s about to graduate from high school and all she wants is a job. Actually, all she wants is to find a way to pay for college. Amy certainly isn’t looking for love when she answers an ad to baby-sit a boy-she just needs the cash. But the job has a catch: The boy is blind…and he’s her age.
Tristan Edmund may be hot, but he doesn’t want Amy’s help. Or so he thinks. After being blinded in a horse show-jumping competition, Tristan spends his days in the dark, refusing to accept his disability. Much to his annoyance, Amy bursts into his life and drags him into the light. But just as the two begin to see something in each other, Tristan’s beautiful ex-girlfriend shows up. Will the temptation be too much, or will Tristan choose the girl who really sees him.. yeah it may be a lil bit cheesy but its a must read:)
lrielle says
I just bought MAC’s Up The Amp-super gorgeous, I’m obsessed!
Missie says
I love my girl about town and innocence beware from MAC. I use a lip brush when i’m applying bright colored lipsticks likebmy girl about town. 🙂

I don’t own any MAC.
karen says
Oooooh. I have this one on my favorites list at Mac.com.
raina99 says
Love this colour. Have a good trip home!
Christine says
I always had a “Psshh whatever” attitude towards lip brushes, you know, why even bother with them? Of course one day one came with a set and I picked it up one day just for laughs, and to my shock I saw a difference in application! Now when I have the time and inclination I always use a lip brush, but if I’m on the go or in a hurry I’m not above using my lipstick straight out of the tube :-).
lesley says
Have a safe trip home, Karen!
Anna says
During the summer I prefer natural coraly shades.
Jan says
Today is my birthday, this would look great for summer!!!

Can’t wait for the MAC collection you and the other bloggers helped make 🙂

Literally can’t wait to get Evolution Revolution!!!
Stephanie says
MAC Impassioned, although I have not been giving it enough love lately. I have become addicted to the Revlon Colorburst lipglosses. They smell so good that I am on a feel good high for 20 minutes (smells just like vanilla beans – not the sugary vanilla cookie smell of MAC). Too bad the smell does not last, though. It is gone once it goes on the lips 🙁
Donna says
I’m all about bright/funky lips and nails 🙂 And I have 3 lip brushes lol
Krinker says
So happy to see you in my city of Vancouver! Hope we treated you well!

I am still on the hunt for the perfect lipstick (I wonder if I am making excuses to just keep buying lipstick?!) but I am enjoying the VGV with nymphette on top. I found that suggestion on your blog and as I owned both thought I would try it…cannot believe I didn’t discover it before!! 🙂 I am thinking of trying EL in Crystal Baby next if I can talk myself into paying £18 for it!!
onegreatsmile says
I got a rejection letter on Friday for yet another job I applied for. I could use a consolation prize!!!
BettyS says
That’s a really lovely color. I haven’t tried MAC anything yet, can you believe it! I’m just starting to get into lipsticks and glosses. Right now my favorite is a nude Senna lipgloss. I’ve got a Korres natural pink 13 lipstick on the way. That’s as brave as I’ve gotten.

I have never felt the need to use a lip brush! In fact, I can’t quite understand what people use them for 🙂

Stephanie P. says
This is a lovely color!
Brianna says
If I’m in a rush or it’s a casual look, I’ll use it straight from the tube (either swipe or dabbed on) but if it’s for a more formal look, I’ll use a brush. Of course, I’ll use either a brush or my finger for my cream color bases.

Although the weather in my home, the San Francisco Bay Area, isn’t warm and sunny, I’d still wear this lovely coral-y color on my lips, probably under various lip glosses I’ll try out on it. Also, my orange and gray tabby cats think I should wear more coral colors.

I only use a lip brush with colors that I love but which are too bright or strong for me/which are stronger colory et I don’t have a lip pencil in the matching color yet… oh, and tube lipglosses! I just suck at applicating them from the tube, especiallyat the corners of my lips…

I want (NEED) to finish the last harry potter book! im a HP nerd and ive read all the other books before ive seen their movie so i dont want to screw it up with the last book. i also really want to see it in the theaters not dvd (another thing ive done for all of the movies).
and i use my lip brush for dark/brigth lipstick. of course, i cant find a light pink i like so maybe id use it for that as well.
