Heya, ladies. Have you picked up any goodies from MAC Liberty of London? If you haven’t considered the Beauty Powder in Shell Pearl ($25), here are a few ways I like to use it (click here to see the video).
Enjoy the rest of your Friday night, and I’ll catch up with you soon. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

March 13th, 2010 at 11:20 amOooh, where are you guys going? Do you have your outfit planned yet?
Karen B says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:46 amWe’re out to see Alice in Wonderland, maybe a drink or two afterwards. Not too late as I have to go to work the day after.
I’m contemplating on a couple of outfits. I think it’ll be my purple-pink Comptoir des Cotonniers tunic dress with dark green leggings and my boots.

Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:03 pmI just got back from watching that movie… should be a good one for your date! 🙂
Your outfit sounds cute! Ultimately I think you should pick whatever makes you makes you feel pretty AND comfortable. But I like the idea of the purplish pink dress with boots (sassy!).
Karen B says
March 14th, 2010 at 12:06 pmI know, I feel very pretty in that dress and definitely sassy 🙂

March 13th, 2010 at 11:23 amWith the exception of the random collection here and there, you guys tend to get stuff a little later. It’s supposed to launch internationally in April.
Devs says
March 13th, 2010 at 5:48 amOoh! Thanks for the different ideas! I love these videos!
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:23 amHappy Saturday, Devs!

Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:25 amI’m not sure, Nancy. Can you watch them on Youtube? Here’s my channel:

julie says
March 13th, 2010 at 6:28 amThanks Karen! Love your videos! I just purchased the Shell Pearl beauty powder, so this is helpful!
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:25 amThat’s great! How are you liking it so far?
julie says
March 13th, 2010 at 3:11 pmSo far so good but I’m in NYC and the last few days have been really dreary. I can’t tell the true color when I apply to my cheeks! I like how you can build on it.
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:05 pmOh, the weather last week was rough here too. I can’t wait for spring… it can’t get here fast enough.
Tiffany says
March 13th, 2010 at 7:21 amAdorable vid, Karen! I have this from when it came out last time (was it Barbie?) and I loove it, although I kinda forgot about it until recently. I grabbed the other beauty powder from this collection since I don’t have that shade yet 🙂
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:29 amIt came out last summer with Nordie’s Look in a Box! BTW, I have both those Barbie Beauty Powders too (Pearl Sunshine and Pearl Blossom), and still I loooove ’em. 🙂
How’s your Saturday going?
Tiffany says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:57 amHmm, I def didn’t get it last year… Ok, I looked it up and it came out with Sundressing, which was like forever ago. No wonder I forgot about it, lol! I have both from Barbie and both from Sundressing. I feel like the pearly beauty powders are one of the best products ever, I wish they would release new colors!!!
My Saturday is ok – just lazing around. Just picked out an outfit for my dinner party thing tonight. How’s your day going?
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:08 pmMine went well. I managed to do a lot of relaxing in the afternoon… I worked out (ran the slowest two miles ever), then I did a bunch of girl stuff: exfoliated, hair masque, waxed the ‘stache… the whole nine yards! Ooh, it felt so good.
How was the dinner? Hope you got to sit next to your friends!
Tiffany says
March 14th, 2010 at 9:29 amOoh I love time for girlie stuff! The dinner was ok… And we got there early and claimed a table so we could all sit together so that worked out well.
Marina says
March 13th, 2010 at 7:34 amHi Karen!
Like the idea of mixing it with foundation. I should try it one day.
I also like that you include some funny moments at the end of each video 🙂

Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:30 amMe too! If you get it you can use it with a few of your new blushes, hee hee!
Nina says
March 13th, 2010 at 1:54 pmWhy yes I can, Ms. Karen!!! 😉
Hubby thinks ive gone flower crazy because I told him I was going to Target early tomorrow to check the Liberty of London line.
They have this cutest bicycle ever … swoons….
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:10 pmAm currently plotting to do the same! I’m going to go to mall with the guise of hitting up Starbucks; while I’m there I’ll just “happen” to pop into Tar-ghay!
Arianne says
March 13th, 2010 at 9:37 amYay! I really want to try it with foundation now; I think that is a fab idea!
P.S. I’m with ya. “Blush brush” is really hard to say. 😉
.-= Arianne’s last blog post… O Hai! MAC Liberty of London Shell Pearl. =-.

March 13th, 2010 at 11:30 amSeriously, it took, like, 10 minutes to work that sequence out. For the life of me I couldn’t get it right, ha ha!

Hyzenthlay says
March 13th, 2010 at 10:31 amGAH! I already have two Shell Pearls (I think I’m about to hit pan on the one I got last summer), and this makes me want to get one or two more! It’s my go-to blush and now I have new ways to play with it . . . and these’ll make it go that much faster! Augh!!
Thanks for including the blooper . . . I make those ALL OF THE TIME, but in front of a classroom full of teenagers. Thank goodness they usually know what I am trying to say, and help me finish my thoughts. But I definitely make those faces in front of them, usually at least once or twice a day.
Have a wonderful Saturday!
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:32 amHi Hyzenthlay,
Is the Spring Break countdown on yet? LOL!
Have a fantastic weekend. 🙂
Hyzenthlay says
March 13th, 2010 at 2:50 pmDefinitely 🙂
4 and a half days (Friday is a minimum day) til spring break! We’ve got two weeks off this year.
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:11 pmThat’s great! I’m sure you’ll be able to get some good relaxing time in. Will you be going anywhere during the break?
Rica says
March 13th, 2010 at 10:41 amYay… can’t believe my question got answered in a video, but I’m sure a lot of us have the same question. Thanks Karen. Now I’m really gonna check it out, even though it’s raining today =.=

Amber says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:29 amOkay, that was a great video but your laugh at the end of the blooper made me laugh out loud. 😀
.-= Amber’s last blog post… The most wonderful time of the year =-.
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:34 amI had to do so many takes “blush brush” is surprisingly really difficult to say, LOL! I swear it felt my tongue was made out of lead.
Rica says
March 13th, 2010 at 2:51 pmI’m sad… it’s sold out =( … gonna try it online… even Ever Hip Lipstick was so out

DonnaN says
March 13th, 2010 at 12:16 pmKaren, love the vid! I never thought to put it on my eyes….I am definately going to try it! And you used the 226 brush…..my FAVORITE eye brush from MAC. The blooper at the end was too cute…..I have problems with double B’s too. And have I been missing that your credits are ALL Tabs??…….how busy that boy is!!!
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:16 pmHe is QUITE the task master, let me tell you!
Hey, isn’t your operation coming up soon? It’s the end of March, right?
Marce says
March 13th, 2010 at 12:42 pmOK, you’ve convinced me. Though come to think of it, concerning makeup I’m not too difficult to convince, LOL! I did have a bit of difficuly watching the vid though, it sorta breaks up while playing. Maybe my internet connection? Have a lovely saturday!

Rica says
March 13th, 2010 at 3:45 pmI don’t know what was wrong with me but I was gonna say…
“Shell Pearl Beauty Powder was so out, so does Ever Hip Lipstick =(… I’m gonna try online now…”
The MAC lady told me they only had 6… SIX, can you believe that? I thought they might have at least double digit!
.-= Rica’s last blog post… NOTD + Another nail polish failure… =-.
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:18 pmHi Rica,
No worries. Pop on over to the Nordstrom website. They still have Shell Pearl and Ever Hip available. 🙂
Cammie says
March 13th, 2010 at 5:30 pmHey karen, love your video!!! I was wondering where you got the necklace you are wearing in the video??? Tell Tabs I said Hi! 🙂 LOL!

random question- what’s the song that plays in the background? i kind of like it… 🙂
Karen says
March 13th, 2010 at 11:20 pmIt’s kinda soothing, isn’t it? It’s stock music. 🙂
Elsie says

Frances says
March 14th, 2010 at 12:38 pmHi Karen,
Great video! I actually checked out shell today at my MAC counter, but I think it’s a little to orangy on me. 🙁 I so wanted it to. But I did manage to pick up mineralize blush in Rhapsody in Two and Creemsheen in Delight and Over Indulgence. Soo pretty!
for highlighter I got NARS albatross cream – It’s a really pretty gold sheen.
