7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

November 29th, 2014 by Karen 310 Comments

Win a $50 Sephora e-gift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog

To whom it may concern,

It’s still dark outside and it’s almost 8. This, I do not like.

Stupid rainy weather!

Doh, as a Californian, now I feel obliged to say, “But we do need the rain,” which is true. It’s been way too dry here lately. All the creeks and ponds were drying up before this latest storm, and I bet the heritage oak trees on my hill are growing very narrow rings this year…

How’s the holiday shopping coming along? I was ahead of schedule, but now I’m starting to fall behind. I gotta get out there and brave the crowds! — and I could also use some vitamin M (makeup).

Good reason to visit Sephora. 🙂

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Good luck in this weekend’s giveaway.

    The last time you felt fierce? Hmmm this question makes me realize it’s been far too long. Probably at the pumpkin patch last month LOL

    A piece of clothing you recently realized you desperately need to buy?
    Booties!

    Flannel shirts: yes or no? Hmm for me no but the right look I think it can look fun

    Favorite hair salon? Galleria Hair Design in SF!

    Yes, we Californians need the rain. (I said it but I’m not feelin’ it which is bad cause Hubby works getting the water to all those parched water users).

    I just pulled the trigger on a bib necklace I’ve been eyeing since September. 60% off.

    Just stocking stuffers to buy now. I know. I’m disgusting.

    By the way, more rain is on the way! Think: wet week ahead.

    Just buy a Linnea’s Lights Candle in Fir and light it up and the rain won’t be so oppressive!

    I realized this winter that I desperately need a good pair of winter boots! Waterproof, warm and tall enough to handle the 4 foot snow drifts that plague my neck of the woods. All my previous concerns about having “cute” footwear were dashed when I realized university would require a long hike from home to the bus, long, looooong walks across a giant campus, and another long hike (that somehow seems 4 km longer) from the bus to home. Ugly lined boots, here I come!

    We got a lot of snow on Wednesday. The lights kept flickering so I decided to cook the turkey right away. Good thing, since our power was out on Thanksgiving day from 2AM until 7PM. My brother and his family came down to NH from their ski weekend in VT. We used the grill to heat up Buffalo chicken dip, dressing, gravy, and turkey slices so everyone had a choice of hot or cold turkey sandwiches. We used the snow to keep the beers cold, and lit lots of candles and had plenty of fleece to keep everyone warm. It ended up being a really fun time. My son thought it was the best Thanksgiving he ever had.

I had so much fun stalking the website, making sure I was ready for it to start, and by 6 minutes after midnight I had all my purchases made and was done for the night! But they had such great deals, so I have to say I am happy. I can, however, think of at least a couple other items to put under the tree with a gift card like this!

    Bedazzled eyebrows ~ it’s funny you brought this up because I’ve noticed it around the web more and more. It’s one of the few things I really don’t like and haven’t seen anyone pull it off yet. Ick, but to each his own.

    I love flannel shirts. In fact, just this weekend my 18 year old came to my room and asked if I could have the clothes she had in her arms. They were my clothes I had forgotten all about and one shirt was a flannel plaid from Eddie Bauer from yyeeesassrrrsss ago!!! I put it on and oh it felt so good. I did not want to give it to her (I know that’s so selfish) but I did because I had forgotten all about it.

    To make my manicure last longer, I apply a good base and top coat! I think they’re both equally important, good ones make even cheapie polishes last a while with minimal wear. I like Essie Grow Stronger, OPI Nail Envy, and Essie Millionails. For top coats there are tons but right now I’m loving Bareille UV Glaze top coat. 🙂

    Until I can master my eyebrows more, I would feel that bedazzling them–and therefore drawing even more attention to them–would be a mistake for me. I’m not against others doing so, but it seems more of a celebrity or party thing, and definitely not an everyday thing.

I am so sad because my first site was scrubs(work pajamas) and sneakers. I know it sounds like I am being a big baby but if I am to do 40 hours a week of free work I’d like to do it in navy scrubs and asics.

    my manicure trick? after cleaning my hands, i let my nails dry for another 10+ minutes (to let the water absorption evaporate from the nails). before i apply my base coat, i wipe down my nails with alcohol.

    it seems to make the polish chip less. i haven’t had a manicure last a long long time because i do a lot of house chores without gloves. but i might get on that gel manicure hype, if i want a pretty manicure to last 🙂
