What’s up, weekenders? I hope your Saturday’s rolling, rolling, rolling right along. Today’s been an errands/chores day for me — grocery shopping, post office, laundry and cleaning. But all work and no play makes Karen a dull girl, so I managed to sneak in some e-surfing too.

I’m off to Trader Joe’s! What have you been up to today? 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. This weekend I’m workin’ with my web hosting company to move Makeup and Beauty Blog to better digs. Well, they’re doing the work. My involvement’s limited to crossing fingers. 🙂 Apologies in advance for the loss of any recent comments or other goofiness that may occur this afternoon and early tomorrow. It should all be over soon, and once it is the blog should load a little faster.
Jen says
love the videos! so cool!
crossing my fingers too for your move!

The mashup of Top 25 pop songs of 2009 was amazing! That’s the kind of stuff I’d expect to see during the MTV Music Awards.

Hubs dropped me off at the mall while he went to his Brazilian JiuJitsu class. I shopped the VS sale, the Bath and Body Works sale and got an eyeshadow (Nars Mekong — I love) and a MAC 224 brush to replace the one I lost over the summer.
I was good – not too much damage ….
Have a great rest of the weekend, Karen!!!!
DonnaN says
The Dior Lace collection looks pretty……I love that pale pink polish!
Oh, the Eiffel Tower…….love me some France! I just picked up the cutest pendant necklace at Forever XXI…..a glittery Eiffel Tower! Viva le France!!!
I’d hoped to be over my “ill”, but sadly that was not the case. I made it to the mall & back before getting sick again. I missed the memorial service for my great-aunt and just stayed home and vegged…I got back into my jammies…..did some laundry, slept, and am now watching a GLEE marathon on HULU!
Didja’ get anything good at TJ’s?

I went to Ulta to get some haircolor. They are having a HUGE clearance sale and I found a Stila concealer brush for $9, got the haircolor and two little face mask things all for $15 after coupons.
I’ve been needing a concealer brush to add to my collection.

Karen-I love that you have hairy toes! Me too!! Now I know that I am not alone!
Site Suggestion-I know that it would be a lot of work. But my wish would be to see a message board area here where people could communicate with each other and you with more ease. It would also give them an opportunity to ask questions and start topics. This is just a little wish. This is such a great, down to earth place-because of you! In a perfect world I think that this addition would make it even more awesome!!!

Oh, I love The year in 120 Seconds video – the lush, green summer shots are so pretty! Thanks for all the great surfing suggestions. Squee – that Liberty of London MAC collection is divine. And please let me know when i can take a pill for my fine, limp hair! Oh, and as always, thanks for the shout out to we heart this. Happy weekend everyone!
