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

Hi Anastasia,
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far!
Great suggestions!! You are so awesomely fun to watch – thanks for rocking!
What’s up, Shah’ada? Are you having a good Saturday?
You are just adorably cute and wonderful and a tad crazy. Don’t worry though, I like people a tad crazy 🙂 Now I’ll have to get Pearl Shell for my date on Thursday 😉 Hahahaha

Oooh, where are you guys going? Do you have your outfit planned yet?
We’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 B’s last blog post… Patisserie Cupcake Soap Trio =-.
I 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!).
I know, I feel very pretty in that dress and definitely sassy 🙂
.-= Karen B’s last blog post… Friday Fame =-.
It’s already sold out online! I’m really hoping I didn’t wait too long to get to my MAC counter!
.-= Meg’s last blog post… Teaser Photos: Essie Spring 2010 polishes =-.
You can still get it on the Nordstrom site. 🙂
Thanks Karen! I called my MAC store and they are already out so I cruised over to the Nordstrom site and it is on the way to me!
.-= Meg’s last blog post… Teaser Photos: Essie Spring 2010 polishes =-.
You’re welcome. 🙂 Glad you were able to get your hands on it, YAY!
Karen, you’re so sweet in this video and you look amazing!!! I wonder how old you are… 😛
Thanks so much for the info!:D
kiss
LOL! I’m 34 going on 15…
OH You are being such an enabler! I was going back and forth as to whether or not I should buy it. I really want to wait for the To the Beach collection…that powder looks pretty!
.-= Rowan’s last blog post… Tarte’s Maureen’s Favorites Exclusive Value Set =-.
I can’t WAIT for MAC to the Beach! Seriously, it can’t get here fast enough.
i dont think its out in the UK yet…like i went to liberty AND mac yesterday and there was npthing (and theyre literally right next to each other)
.-= emma’s last blog post… Little Piece of History =-.
With 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.
Ooh! Thanks for the different ideas! I love these videos!
Happy Saturday, Devs!
any ideas why i can’t view your videos? i can view the older version ones, but can’t do it with any new videos you post…boo! wasn’t a big deal to me in the past, until you started posting tips! i live for those tips! 😉
I’m not sure, Nancy. Can you watch them on Youtube? Here’s my channel:
MBB TV
tried different methods to access on your blog, but the Youtube route is PERFECT! thank you!!
Oh, good to hear it worked for ya!
Thanks Karen! Love your videos! I just purchased the Shell Pearl beauty powder, so this is helpful!
That’s great! How are you liking it so far?
So 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.
Oh, the weather last week was rough here too. I can’t wait for spring… it can’t get here fast enough.
Adorable 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 🙂
It 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?
Hmm, 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?
Mine 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!
Ooh 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.
Hi 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 🙂

Hi Marina!
How’s your weekend going?
great tips! This is on my want list for my next trip to mac.
.-= Kajal Couture’s last blog post… Engagement Portraits =-.
Let me know if you end up getting it. 🙂
Oh wow … I am so loving that beauty powder!!!!
Me too! If you get it you can use it with a few of your new blushes, hee hee!
Why 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….
Am 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!
Yay! 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. =-.
Seriously, it took, like, 10 minutes to work that sequence out. For the life of me I couldn’t get it right, ha ha!
Great suggestions! You’re so pretty!
.-= Lindsay’s last blog post… MAC Liberty of London Swatches =-.
Hi Lindsay!
Have a great weekend. 🙂
Hi Karen. I love the videos you’re doing. Keep them coming! 🙂 Hope you enjoy your weekend.
You have a fab weekend too, Danielle!
GAH! 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!
Hi Hyzenthlay,
Is the Spring Break countdown on yet? LOL!
Have a fantastic weekend. 🙂
Definitely 🙂
4 and a half days (Friday is a minimum day) til spring break! We’ve got two weeks off this year.
That’s great! I’m sure you’ll be able to get some good relaxing time in. Will you be going anywhere during the break?
Yay… 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 =.=
.-= Rica’s last blog post… NOTD + Another nail polish failure… =-.
Hi fun, Rica! Let me know if you end up picking it up.
Okay, 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 =-.
I 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.
I’m sad… it’s sold out =( … gonna try it online… even Ever Hip Lipstick was so out
.-= Rica’s last blog post… NOTD + Another nail polish failure… =-.
Hi Rica,
Ever Hip is still available on the Nordstrom website!
Karen, 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!!!
He is QUITE the task master, let me tell you!
Hey, isn’t your operation coming up soon? It’s the end of March, right?
OK, 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!
.-= Marce’s last blog post… FOTD – Cameron Diaz’s Oscars Makeup + Tagged! =-.
Hi Marce,
Hmm, I dunno why it’s breaking up on you. Are you using Vimeo or YouTube?
It looks very Pretty but I so luv my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks, Nectar is a must have ladies!!
.-= The Crochet Queenn’s last blog post… 2 Skiens of ICE Yarns in Black and Metallic Silver Pom Pom w/Papery Flags Yarn =-.
The BB Shimmer Bricks are pretty great, too! I love the MAC BPs because I find them just a touch more finely milled!
I’m so glad you are doing more videos! Not only are they helpful, but you are too cute that it puts a smile on my face;and I’m sure your other devoted readers as well. Keep up the good work! and girl, work that cute-ness over the weekend!!!
Hi Cecille,
Glad to hear you find these helpful!
How’s your weekend going so far?
I 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… =-.
Hi Rica,
No worries. Pop on over to the Nordstrom website. They still have Shell Pearl and Ever Hip available. 🙂
Hey karen, love your video!!! I was wondering where you got the necklace you are wearing in the video??? Tell Tabs I said Hi! 🙂 LOL!
I am loving your videos! I am very tempted to purchase the shell pearl beauty powder. It just looks so pretty! Great tips on using it!!
random question- what’s the song that plays in the background? i kind of like it… 🙂
It’s kinda soothing, isn’t it? It’s stock music. 🙂
I love your videos, they are a nice addition to your website/blog. I just picked up this beauty powder and will give your suggestions a try. Thanks!!!!
Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do. Have a great weekend!
Hi 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.
you have the sweetest cutest voice!
