March 10th, 2012 by Karen 475 Comments

  • WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Heather! Congratulations, Heather! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

Rise and shine, morning glory! If you’re a frequent visitor to the blog, you know what that means (it’s giveaway time!).

But before we get to that, I want to wish you a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your time, your friendship, and your patience, because yes, I know that some of you often think, “Gawd, this woman must be crazy. All she ever does is talk about her cat!!!” Thankfully, you’re also understanding. After all, we each have our quirks.

Today we’re less than two weeks from the official start of spring! I hope your winter ends with something nice.

Without further ado, now it’s giveaway time. 🙂

What folks are saying…

“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)

“Hi Karen and Tabs. Wow! Thanks so much for this! It’s hard to believe I actually won something. I can’t wait to shop my little heart out! Thanks again. Love to Tabs! And I love your blog with the Tabs stories. ;+)”
-Sophie, St Petersburg, FL

“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK

“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! 🙂 Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline

“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

    Hi Karen! Love your blog & your Tabs stories. He sounds like he & my cat, Patches, (yes, I named her Patches because she is a calico cat. I was ten at the time. Fifteen years later and she’s STILL giving me grief over it) would get along.
    I’m a sucker for red velvet & strawberry cupcakes, but I’m not a big fan of makeup that smells like food…I end up feeling hungry all day.

    How often do you wash your hair?
    About every 2-3 days.

    What’s the last great movie you watched?
    I’d have to say “Inception”.

    Do you live in the Northern or the Southern Hemisphere?
    Northern.

    Usually MUFE Mat Velvet + in shade 40 is perfect for me, but since my whole body, excluding my face, has gotten super tanned over reading break (reading break is like spring break for Canadians), I’ve been mixing the Mat Velvet + 40 with Rimmel’s Lasting Finish 25Hr. Foundation Tube in shade 400 Natural Beige!!

    This creates the perfect shade so that my face matches my tanned body + gives even better coverage than just the MUFE alone!!

    I used to wash my hair every other day, but now I have to wash it every day. It’s getting too long (for me, shoulder length), so it’s been frizzy, limp, and unmanageable. In two weeks, I’m getting my hair cut, since that’s my spring break. At that point, my hair will be jaw-length and more manageable. (Though the upcoming rain and humidity will make my hair explode into frizziness anyway.)

    Hi Karen! So today I’m having major buyers remorse after the Gap haul I pulled off yesterday BUT I did get 40% off my purchase AND I did need more jeans. It’s all the other stuff I’m trying to
    justify buying. Ah well, c’est la vie…. Hmmmm, I did spot some things on sale at Anthro I wanted. Here we go again!!!

    I hope you're having a wonderful day…this is my first time writing to you, although I have to admit I've been a fan of your blog for a while now. I'm a law student who loves music and cats, although can you believe it…I have two gorgeous doggies at home instead 🙂 Ah well, love is love is love, right? 🙂
    I have had the weirdest, most toughest week ever….lots of confusion over a wonderful boyfriend and my folks, so its been one hell of a melodramatic week! Which I would honestly, not have gotten through without my exceptionally wonderful room mate (god bless girlfriends, don't you think?) Anyway, I hoped I could win this gift card, so I could get my roomie, something she's been eyeing for a while (oh I didn't realize there was a pun in there, because what she's been eyeing is some seriously good eye make up) …but either way, thank you and Tabs for giving me something to read and learn from every day of the week, no matter how weird the world can get sometimes.

    I’ll be honest – I don’t trust people who don’t like animals. Doesn’t matter if it’s dogs, cats, bunnies, fish – they have to have a fondness for critters. If they don’t I just can’t seem to make a connection with them.

    I’ve been thinking lately that I would really like to start playing around with bright color on my lips–I’ve always been a “emphasize my eyes” kinda girl and have always left my lips either bare (with Aquaphor applied, of course) or used a tinted balm (like Fresh Sugar Honey Tinted Lip Treatment). I absolutely LOVE the bright lip trend for spring and am thinking that my first foray into brighter colors will be a YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in Coril Fauve!

    First, my two absolute favorite products are Revlon’s lip butter in the color Creme Brulee, and my Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush. <– I would just about die if I couldn't get these two products!
    I have a 4 year old daughter named Reylenra, Rey for short. (Pronounced ray-len-rah) She is the most important thing/love of my life.
    I have a dog named Sunny (yellow lab) and she's the sweetest thing in the world, and a fish named Fred (he's blue and purple). Those two are like my babies, hehe.
    My favorite color is pink, but sometimes I get into a phase where I really really like yellow.
    When I was in High School, my favorite two classes were Psychology 101 and Algebra.
    Oh heck, I'll throw this in too. I wash my hair every two days so that I give my hair a break and don't strip it of it's natural oils.
    My all-time favorite movie has got to be…The Never Ending Story, but the last good movie that I seen was Faces in the Crowd (for anyone who hasn't seen it, you should really go check it out!).

    And I live in the Northern Hemisphere, Cape Cod, Massachusetts US to be exact 😉

    I wash my hair once to twice a week. And I refuse to let anyone try to shame me for that anymore, because
    a) My hair is super thick and coarse and hard to wash in an efficient and timely manner.
    b) Due to said thickness and coarseness my hair dries sooo slooowly. I washed my hair this morning at 9 am, I left it loose all day (no bun or ponytail), and it’s STILL a little damp at 6pm. If I washed my hair everyday it would never be fully dry again.
    c) I have a super dry scalp that takes forever to make enough oil to make my hair look grimy, and which turns flaky, gross, over-dried, and angry if I wash too frequently.
    d) I don’t use any product in my hair, so I don’t have to wash product out of my hair.

    I am having a very relaxing weekend even though I have to work on a presentation for work. Not very exciting! And it’s actually hailing right now after a beautiful Friday! Why can’t the weekend be as gorgeous as the weekdays?!

    I just picked up one of the YSL gloss stains and I thought I would love it. It’s all right but the Sephora lip gloss I picked up out of a sale bin has been getting a lot more wear. I’m amazed at the quality…

    I use no lip products (gasp!). I wash my hair every other day or every three days if I’m lazy (shhh, our little secret). Right now I’m watching “The Lady Vanishes”, a great movie for 75 years. I live in the Northern Hemisphere. And my favorite school subjects were econ, math (my majors), art history, and political theory.

    I have two favorite lip products at the moment – Revlon lip butters and Chanel glossimers. I love the lip butters because they are pigmented without being too scary, and I love glossimers because they moisturize my lips way better than any balm I’ve ever tried.

    My absolute Favourite lip product would have to be the Korres mango butter lipstick in the shade natural purple 25. It truly is a moisturizing and hydrating listick that leaves your lips with a beautiful sheer and glossy tint!
