Just a quick dispatch from somewhere over California, ladies! This morning I’m off to Toronto on a top secret beauty mission. I can’t really share any details yet (even though I desperately want to!), but I can say this much: COOL!
It’s just a brief trip, and I’ll be back in the Bay soon. Of course, I still plan to blog while I’m away because, well, that’s what I do. 🙂
Stay tuned… Adventure awaits!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

April 13th, 2011 at 9:31 amLooking forward to the mission report! Carry on, Agent K! 😀
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:13 pmYou are too cute! How have you been? Was your MAC class fun?
Glosslizard says
April 14th, 2011 at 9:53 amI’ve been good (if not overly communicative…)! The MAC class was fun, it was a confidence-booster for me, and I scored some good loot!

April 13th, 2011 at 9:33 amYAY Canada!! Can’t wait to hear what you’re up to 🙂
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:15 pmYou’ll find out soon! BTW, I’m learning all sorts of cool things about your country, like, ketchup chips and poutine.
Astha says
April 13th, 2011 at 9:35 amEnjoy my city Karen! And while you are here, you must have some Tim Horton’s and spurlge on a poutine
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:16 pmI keep hearing about poutine… it sounds like Tabs’ gravy dream come true.
Andrea says

Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:25 pmYou’ll find out soon, Radhika! Hope you’re having a nice day.
Christina says
April 13th, 2011 at 10:25 amI hope I will run into you! Go Canada!
Good luck with your secret mission!
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:25 pmIf you do please say hi! I’m friendly and don’t bite, LOL!
lmc1971 says
April 13th, 2011 at 10:29 amYay! I’m in Toronto…too bad your on a top secret mission, I’m sure you have a ton of followers in T.Dot who would have loved to meet up! Perhaps next time….
Toronto is a great city, hope you’re staying for a few days and get a chance to see the sights. Check out Bloor Yorkville shopping and Queens St. is also fun. A few worthy malls are Yorkdale or the Eaton Centre…both accessible by transit or short car ride from downtown. Don’t let anyone drag you to Vaughn Mills Outlet Mall though, not worth the trip IMHO.
Best, Lisa
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:26 pmThanks for the 411, Lisa! Unfortch this time it’s a quick trip… I’ll be leaving on Friday morning. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back soon, because I need to hit all the good shopping spots and find the best poutine in the city.
Josie says
April 13th, 2011 at 10:44 amToronto girl here too! Its raining today but its still a beautiful and amazing city! Can’t wait to hear about your top secret mission here and hope you enjoy your stay! And just like Astha posted, get yourself a coffee at Tim Horton’s (or even try the Ice Capps) and you have to try a poutine which is fries, gravery, and mozzerella cheese! MMMmmmmhhhmmm!
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:27 pmYou said the magic word… FRIES!
shiny says
April 13th, 2011 at 10:48 amwe’ll recognize Karen immediately from the fabulousness, doesn’t she know that! 😉 anyhoo, check out Brar’s – Indian food close to Pearson airport – great place to eat.
Karen says
April 13th, 2011 at 2:28 pmAww, Shiny! You’ll most likely recognize me from the pound of cat hair on my clothes and the glitter, LOL!
Christine Tansingco says
April 13th, 2011 at 11:21 amHi Karen,
Welcome to Toronto! Hope you enjoy your stay here….curious though about your secret mission. Hope you enjoy our multi-cultural city – the Filipino community is big here…we’re glad to see one of our own making influential strides in the world of makeup and beauty.
