Zoya’s Pixie Dust Summer 2013 Collection
Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 243
You may know Tabs as a playboy, jet-setting kitty supermodel extraordinaire, but he’s also just a very sweet boy.
Most of the time.
Today I expected flowers, or chocolates, or a day off, or at least some little recognition for Mother’s Day, but nope. Nada. No brunch, nothin’. He didn’t even get me a card.
I don’t know… Maybe he’s saving up for Admin Assistant’s Day.
He has been busy, so maybe that was the reason. Who knows? The phone’s been ringing off the hook with kitty modeling jobs, so he decided to take a break this week from working on his Husky Tabby comic to model for MAC, Benefit, Dior, Urban Decay and Milani.
He wanted me to ask which of this week’s campaigns you like best. He’s partial to the Dior one for Jet Ski Jet Black Waterproof Mascara. He says it was a lot of fun to shoot. 🙂

Essie’s Resort 2013 Collection, available now at Essie counters and online.
In other news, happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Thank you for always putting someone else’s wellbeing before your own.
You deserve a break today, a big hug and to know you’re loved. 🙂
Sweet Tabby in Freshwater Pearls
They’re not really his style, but you know Tabs. He can’t say no to bling.
I bought this necklace about 10 years from an indie designer; I wish I could remember her name!

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, what’s your favorite kind of cheese? If you could change anything about your brows, what would you change? What was the name of your first pet, and what was he/she like? Liquid, pencil, cream or gel liner? How often do you floss? If you could go anywhere in the world today, where would you go (it doesn’t have to be far)? What are some of your hobbies? — you get the idea.
- Second, you can enter by following me on
Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
