A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

Two Ways to Win a Sephora eCard on Makeup and Beauty Blog

Hello, friend! It’s nice to see you this morning. 🙂

We made it to another weekend, and you did a great job, by the way. Someone should tell you that.

I just finished my breakfast (buttered toast with guava jelly), and now I’m gonna go get changed for a run.

I haven’t exercised since Monday or Tuesday of this week, and it’s buggin’ the heck out of me. I mean to every day, but then time gets away from me. You know how it is, blah, blah, blah…

After that, who knows? El Hub and I have been talking about planning a trip somewhere, so maybe we’ll do that. Kauai or Maui, maybe Florida or somewhere else warm. We’ll see.

I also want to go look at bird-feeders at the hardware store for Tabs. I could hang one from the awning above the back deck. I love birds, and Tabs does too…although for different reasons, of course.

Please have a wonderful weekend, okay? Do something fun! Seriously, you deserve a break. People need breaks to recharge.

Before you go, take a moment to enter this weekend’s giveaway. You, Sephora, $50? It only takes a quick comment and maybe also a tweet (for a second entry). Full details down below.

Good luck. Talk to you soon.

What folks are saying…

“Hi Karen!!! Wow, that news definitely gets a hoo ray ray and an elephant!!! (I’ve maybe been watching too much Boardwalk Empire.) Thank you so much!!!”
-Shana

“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie

“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane

“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel

“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night!”
-Zharlynne

“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)

    Girl, let’s talk about coming to grips with things. I tried to put on some eyeshadow from my UD Vice palette last night, and within 30 minutes, my eyes were burning and watering. Had to take it all off. Problem is, I’m not sure what the exact culprit is. I was wearing no less than 6 or 7 different things on my eyes, and I’d have to go through an individual test period for each to figure it out. And you know ain’t nobody got time for that, LOL. Guess I have to go buy some soothing eye cream in the meantime.

    I love the thought of Spring/Summer being on its way, especially considering I live In the N.E. We have had a horrible fall, starting with Hurricane Sandy and quite a few snowstorms and even a blizzard! I am trying different makeup looks and experimenting with different colors to welcome the warmer weather( if it EVER gets here.) right now I’m playing with pinks and purples on my eyes, which I love in other people. I’m pretty neutral with the eye shadow colors I use so,if I were lucky enough(I NEVER win anything, unless you consider greenery at 15 a prize lol) to win this prize, I would definately buy different colored eye shadows to play with!! Although I am 44, it’s NEVER to late! Thank you

    Hi!
    I am a norwegian going to boarding school in Connecticut and right now I am in my dorm room, really happy because I just came back from a friend in another dorm, where 4 girls were gathered and we talked about so much and I really feel that I got to know them better. It was the perfect ending to a stressful week with a lot of work! 🙂 Sometimes I worry I have to much work to actually get to bond with people, even though I have good friends here I want to have more really close friends. After tonight I feel so light and just realized that I can, you just have to prioritize a little, you know? I am also VERY skincare and beauty interested, I am that person who just loves it. I’ll select carefully, I always study the ingredients and google just about everything. I am on my way to get the perfect regime for me. For example, this involves KORA Organics by VS Angel Miranda Kerr! You should check it out if you are into the very best for your skin. Have a nice, nice day. This turned out to be a really random message, I noticed! Well, see you later and I wanted to say that winning the Sephora shopping money would make me a VERY happy girl and I’d go straight and buy some things that I’ve wanted to buy for a long time.

    XX,

    I love bubble baths, but I recently starting using a foaming shower oil (the L’Occitane almond oil one) in the bath instead of a more traditional bubble bath, and it’s really helped keep the moisture in my skin!

    Hi Karen,
    My favorite fruit are strawberries and bananas….I love them as a smoothie, fruit salad or mixed with my yogurt. Right now I’m wearing this light pink OPI nail polish and I can’t stop it, but look at my nails every 5 mins. I love pink and this one is to die for. I’m soo happy it’s finally spring…I feel like mother nature is calling me for the long afternoon walks by the lake…:):)

I painted my nails last night in OPI Mod About You and layered Essie’s Set in Stones in the half-moon and did a little gradiant. It’s one of my favorite manicures and I might even wear it for my wedding next April! Have a happy weekend, gurl!

    I went to Sephora at JCP yesterday and a complete makeuover using the NARS line. It was a special promotion. I love the new lip pencil, very creamy and stays longer than most lippies. I was not thrilled with the colors the MUA used on my eyes (browns), but the quality of the product was good. Love, love, love the foundation she used, it was the NARS Sheer Matte foundation in Santa Fe (I’m a MAC NW20 in the Spring). So – if I win the $50 gift card, I’ll be buying some of the NARS foundation!

    I’m not one for frequent baths but a couple of weeks ago I took a bath with a lush bath bomb…it was okay. The one I used was Rose Queen and it left a lot of bits of stuff in the tub and it didn’t smell very rosy. But now I have a Rose Jam bubblroon which smells awesome-ly rosy and I can’t wait to use it!!! In the meantime it’s making my hall closet smell so good!

    I have china glaze growth treatment on my nails right now. Normally I have gorgeous nails but I’m a dork and ruined them while scrubbing tile (yuck) and have been trying to grow them back for 3 months now. It sucks really. Love the china glaze formula thought it has helped a lot.

    I like bubble baths and have taken them, but they’re an awful lot of trouble…gotta scrub down the tub before I fill it, things like that.

    I started to like painting my nails last year, since then they are always colored. I am having so many bottles of nail polishes, and I am imaging that I can pass them to my granddaughter. Ahahaha.

    I quite enjoy bubble baths, but my family adopted an almost 14 year old boy a few weeks ago and he took over the one bathroom with a tub. I could probably borrow it for a bath but I just don’t enjoy the thought of abthing in a tub a 14 year old boy bathes in, haha.

    My nails are naked right now as I am treating them with a nail conditioner from ASK Cosmetics. I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and I already see a huge difference in my nails. They are much stronger!

    I always line my eyes and do the tightline with Laura Mercier. If I do not do it I looked like something is missing … badly…
