Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
The only makeup jingle I can remember is “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline.”
Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans?
“Easy Breezy beautiful cover girl!”
If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
Dining chairs – the cats have had too much fun with the fabric haha
Have you ever arm-wrestled? Yes….not since childhood…pretty sure I always lost…
What was your last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment?
I recently realized the difference a beauty blender can make to foundation application.
Have you ever seen anyone shoplift before?
Yes, I used to work in a clothing store so I’ve seen all the creative and not so creative ways people attempt to steal!
Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas?
Yep, I’ve ordered from Ireland and South Africa before.
I tried ordering from Sleek Makeup in the UK, but the order got lost in transit. It was difficult getting my money back from them. I had to go to my credit card company and everything. Plus they had the worst customer service, never replying to emails, sending the same boxed answer every time, it was bad. But I’ve ordered lots successfully otherwise.
Have a great weekend, Karen! Nothing too exciting planned here.
I have 10-15 red, dark red and pink lipsticks and I’ve realised that I haven’t worn lipstick since about May – I need to change that and start using them again 🙂 my favourite is Armani Lip Maestro #400.
I recently purchased my very first highlighter, “Champagne Pop” by Becca X Jaclyn Hill, and Oh My God! Now I finally understand the fuss with highlighters! I never cared for highlight, I thought it made your skin look unnecessarily shiny but I was wrong. New obsession!
I had a Eureka skin moment recently which was that whenever I use Garnier bb cream continuously my skin becomes quite good in terms. Of texture .
I’ve bought makeup from Sleek and Makeup Revolution from overseas. It take a long time, but it’s worth it.
Have a great weekend!
The only makeup jingle I can think of is “maybe she’s born with it…maybe it’s Maybelline.” Are there others? LOL
I’m spending the weekend at the beach with my family!
i would love to replace my bed and get a new headboard too!
Awesome thank u for the chance? Love makeup ??
I would replace my bed with an upgrade. My current bed is fine but only fine. It’s not over the top heavenly like some of the insanely expensive choices claim.
I am always looking for the latest, greatest skin care. So I try everything. But my skin is always happiest on prescription retinoids which I relearn every time I stop using them. So that’s my eureka moment that I already know. :/
Maybe she’s born with it…Maybe it’s Maybelline!
I would love to have a huge beautiful mirror that is full length and leans against the wall! Then I could take pics of all the outfits I’m wearing 🙂
I remember the Maybelline one “Maybe she’s born with it.. Maybe it’s Maybelline” and Loreal’s “Because you’re worth it.”
My skin care Eureka moment was learning that less is more when it comes to using new products. After years of constantly trying new products to improve my skin, I found its better for me to not change routines too often. I like to give my skin time, may be a month or so, to adjust to the new product I’m using.
I’d replace my couch for one that’s a little more fluffy
Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas?
Yup: my face cream comes from UK steamcrem
and my shadows and blush comes from and Indi company from USA Shiro cosmetics
Recently read about a flower water similar to rosewater that Indian women use as a tonic: kewra water. I was obsessed looking for it online, eBay and so on. Surprised to find it in the international section of the supermarket! Finally! Tried it out and was disappointed to find the natural scent smelled like plastic. Oh well, funny how a beauty obsession gets squashed!?
Never ordered overseas. It’s the shipping that deters me.
I finally am back into fall nail colours! I am wearing a light cappuccino shade and I’m easing myself back to taupes, greys and purples!
I would replace my chair. I just wish it was more comfortable!
My eureka moment still to this day was when I discovered Lit cosmetics glitter and glitter base about 4 years ago. I own over 70 colors now and it still wows me to this day. It does not budge I’m just obsessed with it (:
I ordered from an Australian company called Model Co. They have the best BB cream I’ve ever tried but the shipping is way too much to get more!
I used to love to arm wrestle boys in middle school.
I’ve never ordered makeup overseas but I guess I am going to start to have to! My favorite foundation of all time is by the Australian brand Napoleon Perdis and they have pulled their products from Nordstrom, Ulta and Dillard’s! Can’t live without the stuff!
I have ordered Sleek makeup, which is based in the UK I believe. Love their palettes!
I never ordered anything from a company overseas, but I would really love to 😀
I love your blog and youtube chanel 😀
I buy stuff from amazon and somtimes the sellers are outside of the states. Have a great weekend.
“Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline.”
Hi Karen! Hope you’re having a nice weekend so far!
Also: ‘Because I’m worth it’ 😉
Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline is the only one I can remember.
I’ve arm wrestled when I was younger. I was probably much stronger then 😛
My last skin care eureka! moment was with a glorious face exfoliating cream from Oil of Olay. I have very sensitive skin, but this product kept my face clean, smooth, and very healthy….. Then they discontinued it like they tend to do with their exfoliating products. I bought every one I could find, but eventually ran out. Haven’t found anything to replace it. I’m still bitter.
My last “Eurika” moment was using vaseline as a skin savior! It’s lip balm, eyebrow tamer, and salve, all in one!
#loveit
Of course I have ordered makeup overseas, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on so many great products. I used to order MAC from the States for quite some time, because things were released there much earlier and some things never made their way to Europe at all.
The only one I can remember is Benefit Cosmetics. “Laughter is the best cosmetic”
I would get rid of the coffee table my rental unit came with it. I apply my makeup over that table, and it’s ruined lol
As far as Overseas purchases, I have purchased some Rae Morris brushes and a Suqqu cheek brush which I adore. I know the suggestion was cosmetics or skincare. So, I had a short time where I was trying Omrovicza skincare. Very expensive and really I gave it abut 6 mos and was getting ready to place a second order and had a Eureka moment! IMO, you can find stuff just as good in the middle price range. 🙂
I’m sure everyone remembers, “maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s maybelline!”
I would replace the shower in my ensuite. Does that count as furniture? haha 😀
I would replace my dresser…poor thing is falling apart! #shopaholic
I arm wrestle my bf all the time!
I can’t think of any makeup jingles off the top of my head, but after the week I’ve had I’m surprised I still remember my own name! If I could replace one piece of furniture in my house it would be my leather sectional. We got it from a family member and it’s way too large for our small apartment, plus it’s black leather and we live in the valley where summers are 100+ degrees! I long for a nice, comfortable, breathable couch that moves through seasons effortlessly. ?
Mmm l’oreal, because you’re worth it!
But they test on animals really bad so everytime i see it, i think nobody is worth it.
I always remember “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Cover Girl” when I look at my mascara.
Going to the opera tonight!! So excited!
I would replace my living room furniture with something modern
I order brushes all the time from over seas but as far as makeup goes is from sleek. I’ve be lucky to never have had a problem.
Actually, I did use to arm-wrestle when I was in middle school, and I was better than most guys my age lol.
We desparately need to buy our daughter a new dresser… it is falling apart quickly.
Hi Karen! Thank you for keeping us ALL in the loop. I LOVE how your YouTube is bursting with new videos lately. I LOVE your honest reviews and it has helped me decide on products I was on the fence about. Looking forward to seeing more YT videos of yours and especially ones with skincare gadgets. 😉
That MAC “oh darling” looks stunning… Slogan: Clairol’s “blondes have more fun.” So not true!
The jingle that i always remember is from Maybelline, “maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s maybelline!” and from cover girl “easy, breeze, covergirl…hope everyone have a great day…as for me, it’s work time 🙁
“Maybe it’s Maybelline!” 🙂
Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s maybelline
Loreal “because I’m worth it” Maybelline ” maybe she’s born with , maybe it’s Maybelline. I really loved “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful” but that’s a hair product lol.
i just ordered 5 kiko eye shadow sticks and i love them!
Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans?
Hah! The most memorable for me has always been “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline.”
I’d replace the sofa in my living room. It’s gotten really beat up over the years. It needs to be replaced!
I would replace every piece of furniture nothing goes together! but i would start with the couch because the leather is peeling
Sitting here on Saturday afternoon, listening to the rain, and imagining what I could buy if I win the MAC gift certificate.
I went shopping with a friend of mine and we were looking at lipsticks and trying on perfume and when we left I said wow that lipstick looks good on you,and she said I know I stoled three of them.I was mortified.
Oh my god, I used to arm-wrestle boys through my 20s, I had some pretty good biceps, and would challenge boys all the time, they humoured me and I think I won a couple of times 🙂
I haven’t done this in a long, long time now!
This question just takes me back, some fond memories.
I’d love to replace my bed frame with one that has a tufted headboard!
Since I live in Denmark and basically NONE of the fun brands is available in store here, I order from overseas all the time 😀 My latest lemming is the Color Pop stuff but they dont ship over here, and using one of those shipping services just isnt worth it to me.
in the last few weeks, i have had 2 “eureka” makeup finds. first, the new metallic milani eyeliner in purple –makes green eyes stand out and easy to use, comes with a brush, too.
also,there was a sample of the new eliz. arden superstart booster for skin in a monthly magazine. i tried it and…eureka! my skin looked great. so….an order was made.
now that’s it. legos for my 3 grandsons and i am skint. would love to win–thanks for this chance
I ordered an idivine palatte from the UK. It’s one of my very favourites.
I’ve really wanted to order from a few overseas makeup companies, but I’m not willing to deal with currency conversion and international shipping (both the price and the wait).
My most recent makeup “Eureka” moment is discovering mineralized makeup from eyeshadow to foundation . I’m especially liking the MAC mineralized foundation.
I think Mandelic acid was my “EUREKA!” skincare moment
We should definitely replace the couch our bullmastiff has torn up (so he can destroy that one too…)
I have two older brothers, so there was lots of arm wrestling in my childhood! I’d like to replace our sofa. It is about 5 years old but just hasn’t held up well. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
yes, i have scene shoplifting.
I often order Korean and Japanese beauty products from eBay or Amazon marketplace sellers.
Hmm, jingles… how about:
Harvey’s makes your hamburger a beautiful thing!
I am stuck on band-aids brand and band-aids stuck on me!
😀
With 2 brothers and the only girl – There was lots of arm wrestling growing up !
Hi i love your page. I have taken your advice quite a few times and it has paid off. Thank you so much for all the research you do. Happy weekend!
Shawna Thornton
Thanks again for the giveaway! I have been absolutely loving Ipsy recently because it supplies a number of rather expensive products that I’d never normally buy and I can have “Eureka!” moments every month. Certainly worth the 10 dollar drop every 30 days 🙂
I’ve seen someone shoplift twice at the drug store. They were stealing cold medicine. The first time, it was a group of older teens and they weren’t even trying to be sneaky about it. I kept turning around to stare, because they were opening the packages and putting the pills into a paper bag. I told the clerk, and they pointed to a camera above and said “we know all about it.”
“Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline.”
“Because you’re worth it.”
My last Eureka! skin care moment was discovering Rose Hip Oil!! SUPER affordable and does amazing things for my skin.
I want a new bed!
Hi Karten, hv a nice weekend!
I have arm wrestled but not since I was a kid. Boys were offended I beat them.
Absolutely dyingggggg for the new Mac collections!! The packaging is so amazeballs. Fingers crossed! 😉
Glycolic acid based cream.
The best exfoliater i’ve ever used. No more scrubs and dull skin 🙂 alternate days is my thing. And i buy the generic stuff.
Happy Saturday Karen,
Today is laundry day and I woke to a healthy helping of corn and cheese. Okay they were Cheetos puffs , but whose complaining – it’s Saturday. Other than lounging around in my house appropriate maxi dress and tidying up here and there I’m going to watch the movie Focus w/ Will Smith. It suppose to be some type of suspense/comedy. I’m not even quite sure how they work together, but we’ll see.
Enjoy your weekend. 🙂
Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans?
A: I can only remember: “Maybe it’s Maybelline”
If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
A: Definitely my refrigerator. I’ve been looking for a new one for a while just not sure which one I want to get just yet.
Have you ever arm-wrestled?
A: Yes , but I’ve got small hands and short arms so I usually lose.
What was your last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment?
A: When I found these new lashes and now I wont wear any others because they look amazing on me.
Have you ever seen anyone shoplift before?
A: Yes I have and they were caught.
Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas?
A: When I first started ordering those eyeshadow palettes with all of the colors I would get them from Ebay and they’d usually be from overseas.
I used to arm wrestle all the time when I was in shape. I was small but tough!
I bought the first Macoun apples of the season. They are the BEST!!!
Hello Karen and Tabs. I can’t think of other makeup slogans besides the ones mentioned already, but I do remember “Gee, your hair smells terrific”. Was that actually the name of the shampoo??
Hello!!
-If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
It would be my desk in the bedroom, I’m searching for a useful dresser to put my all makeup and beauty staff.
-Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas?
I love to try new makeup products so I order online a lot. I live in Turkey, I’ve ordered from UK and USA so many times. My favorite brands are Fyrinnae, Sleek, Sigma and Anastasia Beverlyhills.
How about Nairs, who wears short shorts?
have a good weekend!
I’m not sure if it’s really a “eureka” moment but I never really understood eyeshadows that werent really obvious (hot pink, purple, blue, etc), but enough tutorials and it finally clicked that dude all those brown shades in palettes really are useful! And it makes all those bright colors wayyyy more cohesive.
“Tresemme, Tresemme, oooh la la!”
The piece of furniture I’d replace right now ~ our leather sectional couch. I actually love it, but it’s time to replace it (leather is starting to crack). They are so expensive though!!
I have never ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas.
Just got the Mario Badescu rosewater spray thanks to your rec and I love it!
I would get a huge new couch!
Definitely would buy a new bedroom suit. My mattress is seriously old & out of date. I long for the days of a good night’s sleep on a quality mattress. And the only cosmetic jingle I know is the one from Maybelline. Have a great weekend ☺️
I stole a pacifier from a store as a toddler. My mom discovered my theft in the parking lot and dragged me back crying and screaming to apologize to the store management. Lesson learned!
Maybe’s she’s born with it, Maybe it’s Maybelline.
Classic.
Happy weekend Karen & company!
I can fell it!
The 1st logo/slogan/motto that came to mind was UD’s “Beauty with an Edge”, maybe their advertising (emails) has subliminals in them…or maybe I have just read one too many a UD package…
2nd would be Maybelline’s “Maybe she’s born with it, etc.”, but that’s from television so it doesn’t really count as much as the non-televised beauty brands—if I were handing out points or cookies to myself lol
& wow, I really think that’s all my brain can muster up… MAC doesn’t really have one other than spelling out their abbreviation, rt? “Back 2 MAC” is when you bring empties in…or could it be a new motto too?? Idk! “Makeup for professionals” sounds so cocky lol, more along the lines of MUFE (I feel like that is MUFE’s?).. Ok, you didn’t say to guess at them lol! & I’m pretty sure that’s all I have at this moment… I wonder how I did. I can’t wait to read through the other comments now lol!
Ty for doing this for us! & have a good mall trip!
* I hope you dug The Martian!
The only makeup or skincare items I’ve ever purchased from overseas would be items from the UK Lush website… During their Boxing Day sale… Otherwise, I try to stick to easily returnable items because, at the moment, I am having the worst time trying to find a foundation match!
I used to work at Blockbuster, and I caught someone stealing. We called the police, and the person was arrested.
Hi Karen! happy weekend! I hope it’s starting to feel like fall for you. it’s 110 degrees out here in California and I hate it!!! I want fall!
So yes, I ordered a too faced pallet from eBay which they SWORE was real. Of course it wasn’t. Then the guy tried to bargain w me. He told me if I gave him a good report, I would get my money back. Yeah right! So I reported them to eBay. Emailed to check up on it. No email back. No money back. Never again! Never used the palette. I don’t want to risk it. They don’t have the same standards in other countries and I didn’t want to risk putting someone on my face (much less my eyes!) and it having lead or something else in it. I will only buy from the trusted retailers! How about you?
Can’t wait to see what is coming out for this holiday season from all the brands out there.
Do any of you remember that Fabulash commercial with Halle Berry? Sometimes I say ‘that’s Fabulash’ instead of fabulous when I want to be obnoxious. Heh
“Which twin has the Toni?” Which advertised home perms when I was a kid.
I’d replace the carpet in my living room which, when we bought our house 30 years ago, we thought would be the first thing we would change. Holidays have always been more important than a new carpet ?
maybe shes born with it maybe its maybelline
“Maybe it’s Maybelline” is the only jingle I can think of. I hope you, Tabs, Hubs, and Baby Girl have a beautiful, glorious, weekend, Karen! God Bless!
I’ve ordered from SaSa before.
The one and only makeup jingles I can think of off the top of my head is “maybe shes born with it, maybe its maybelline”
I just saw one of my favorite bands in concert and they were amazing! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Easy breezy beautiful cover girl
Hey there so if I could het something new for my house it would be some kitchen chairs we have only 2 and the wood slates are apart.
I’d love to replace our couch. It is so uncomfortable! Time for a new one. 🙂
I’d love to replace /upgrade my bed; and maybe go from queen to king size!
I just adopted a Siamese kitten. I named her Toasty.
Can you do a review on the new sephora holiday value sets like the superstars set and give me more lip set? Thanks
I love painting and coloring, I’ve been doing it all my life. This lead me to my makeup Eureka! moment. When I realized that by using makeup I was able to “paint” myself every day! and every day I could do it differently. Since then, makeup has been really fun.
I ordered an azaelic acid treatment from Paula’s Choice Hong Kong because they don’t offer it here. And I, too, remember the Maybelline tag line. Other companies should get on it & come up with some, since that’s pretty much the only memorable one!
Cybil Shephard and the Lorreal slogan “Because you’re worth it.”
I would love to replace my futon with an actual couch!
Have a great weekend, Karen and Baby Girl.
I’ve ordered some Asian skincare products from eBay.
I’ve seen plenty of people shoplift and they almost always get away with it! 🙁
I’ve ordered several things from Korea, though not recently. When I first found out about Korean skincare and makeup brands I had to order them, but now I can find bb cream and sheet masks here in the US.
K & T – Have you seen The Martian? If not, you must! T’s choker photo this wk was FIERCE!!! Hugs & have a great week!
Jingles must be catchy in order for them to stick with me! There’s Tarte (high performance naturals) Josie Maran (beauty with a conscience) Revlon (love is on) urban decay (beauty with an edge)… 🙂
Thank you for your generosity, Karen.
I have crazy oily skin and have had such a hard time finding a primer that controlled oil, kept my makeup in place, and making it go on more smoothly. Silicone primers really help with the latters, but not at all with the former. I’ve been using one by Black Radiance for a few years, and it does really help with the oil, but it it’s more of a lotiony texture, so my makeup doesn’t really go on any better and when the oil does break through, my makeup just disintegrates. A couple months ago, I got a small sample of a MAC primer that had a really silicone feel to it, so I decided to slap it over the Black Radiance one and see what happened. EUREKA!!! My makeup goes on smooth, stays all day, and even when the oil starts peeking through on my nose and forehead, it doesn’t instantly dissolve! Now I’m using every silicone-based primer sample I have to see which works best!
I believe “Make up is a girls bestfriend” because it gives us comfort, boost up our confidence and helps us feel a lot better when we are out with our friends or simply around the house.
Never arm-wrestled. One of my friends broke his arm that way, so, no thanks.
Have definitely ordered from overseas! Particularly Korean and French cosmetics!
I only remember the Maybelline jingle.
Loving the long weekend!
I order from Korean skincare and cosmetic companies all the time! I have loved face creams with snail secretions for quite a while. I swear they make my skin glow! Recently I’ve been suffering from itchy eczema on the backs of my hands. I ordered a big tub of pure snail gel and it has been a miracle! It soothes the itch and is healing the rash too!
My makeup “aha” moment was finding out from a salesperson at a cosmetics counter that I was using a foundation too light for my skin tone. I’m pretty pale, but the color I was using was washing me out. A slightly darker shade was much better. Not too exciting, but it is good to get a second opinion every now and then!
I’ve ordered makeup from Korea before and didn’t have any issues. It took about 10 days to arrive.
I really had my eureka moment when I used Paula’s Choice skincare. LOVE it!
I would replace my bed, it is so bad. I feel like i have folded in half in the mornings. lol
I never seen anyone shoplift but I am not gonna lie I did it before when I was a kid & I got caught but hey, I did learn from my mistake:). I was a kid and I barely shop or get a new stuff and I told my parents what I feel and why I did it. You know past is past learn from it and move on:).
I think I’ll have “Beauty with an Edge” for Urban Decay permanently engrained in my brain 😉
A Wayne Goss (Youtube guru) tip changed how my foundation goes on and looks all day long. I mix a few drops of oil (I use Josie Maran 100% Pure argan oil or Bio-oil depending on the weather) in with my foundation before putting it on. Prepare to be AMAZED at the results!
I ordered a fake beauty blender sponge from an overseas Amazon seller. It took a few weeks to arrive, but I expected that. The quality is pretty good. I’ve had it for about 4 months now and it’s still holding up really well. No tears or anything.
If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
I would get a new bed with a memory foam mattress.
I wouldn’t replace any furniture, but I would add a bath tub! We have a gorgeous tile bathroom & shower, but not having a tub to relax in is a bummer. =(
Looking forward to an upcoming trip to New Zealand. Yes, I have arm wrestled!
I have never tried or purchased any make up from Europe .. being over the pond .. we dont see commercials or family and friends sharing product names or if they liked or dislike anything. Its funnny thing that when your not exposed to a European National Brand, then you never know what you are missing.. there must be hundreds of product lines all over the world, that you never hear about….
I ordered a makeup brush set from Sigma a few months ago, it was the best makeup purchase I’ve made yet! I’m in love with those brushes!
I think that you all know how heart sick you feel when one of your favorite products gets discontinued. Well, MAC, my moment was when I discovered you discontinued your MAC Black Perfume. It was for a few years my signature scent. Love ones and even strangers would comment on how wonderful I smelled. Please bring it back! There is no dupe for the warm woodsy fragrance. I would love to spend my MAC gift card on a fabulous MAC fragrance. Or lippy, or shadow, or blush or, brush.
Yes, saw a shoplifter in Baltimore — it freezes you!
I never witnessed anyone shoplift but did it by accident myself. Of course I returned the item to the store.
I would replace my desk chair for more cushion, maybe a heated one.
I have ordered from Eyeko and from lush Uk before! I have ordered a bunch of stuff non-beauty related from all around the world (thanks etsy!)
Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline 😀 even my bf knows that one. Two months ago I went to sephora for the first time ever & also got a primer (dr.bandit) for the first time and I’ve never had a primer before and i’m absolutely in love with the stuff <3
Yesterday, my 76 year old mother and myself and I went to Sephora because she wanted to find a way to cover up her age spots. The SAs just oohed and aahed over her and made her day and she found a new foundation and everything. We also got her a new blush in Tarte’s Exposed. She was a little confused of how everything goes on and in what order (primer, foundation…etc), so tomorrow I’m going over the parent’s house and we will play with her makeup.
I need to find out something to do with all the leftover furniture in my 2 room log home with a porch. Its a mess
I need to figure out what to do with all the leftover furniture i live with in my 100+ YO log home with 2 room & a porch its a mess LOL
Okay… so I really need to stop binge-watching all your holiday collection videos. I keep telling myself what a bargain most of them are and that I should buy pretty much all of them for myself because of all the money I’ll “save.”
Maybelline’s jingle gets stuck in my head sometimes.
Thanks for the chance!
I never ordered makeup from overseas but all the makeup from the UK looks perfect, so I would love to get some from there someday!
Never heard of MAC 🙂
I’m addicted to makeup!
I do not like Maybelline’s slogan, but have it memorized. I also know Covergirls and I like their’s better.
Eureka make up: IT CC Foundation. Love it!
There’s a baby on the way, there’s a baby on the way! Ok enough singing but hey I’m really excited for you and the little un. MAC may be the fav of the wee one and if its a boy he will know what to buy for mothers day ♥ good luck to us all 😀
I’ve seen a girl shoplift two lipsticks at a Korean brand store (Tonymoly) a few years back– it took me a while to realize what she was doing :c
I love the latest look with blush that I have been seeing lately! I think they call it highlighting. All of a sudden women’s blush looks fabulous when the light hits their cheeks. I have got to learn how to get that effect myself!
I’d replace all the dining table chairs. They’re just not comfortable.
Thank you for all of your reviews!!!!!
Your blog had taught me so many great things since I started following! Thank you!
I’ve ordered skincare from Cult Beauty in the UK several times and have had good experiences each time.
Hey Karen,
Yes I have seen someone shop lift! It was weird… they just stared at me, and kept on going!!! Bizarre!! Boy I wish I’d win!!! There is an lipstick I’m dying for!!! I had a kitty emergency this morning… one of the babies that I take care of got stuck in a tree! She finally jumped on the house and the neighbors got a ladder. She finally came to me… She was so scared. Poor thing!!! She’s safe and sound now.
Hope your pregnancy is going great… you look wonderful.
I love the purple bullet on the new Mac lipsticks in the next collection
I saw someone shoplift a pair of shoes, and honestly it was hilarious to watch.
My main “eureka” moment for skincare came with I realized how important moisturizers and oils were for my oily skin. I always assumed they would make it worse but it helps manage it so much!
Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas? yes pills,got to scary to take them
I saw a girl shoplifting at forever21. She was taking the alarm off! I was afraid and left the place !!
I always thought primers were a waste of money. Had tried one from smash box and was just meh….until I tried a color correcting primer. Now I am hooked!
Since I live in Australia, most makeup brands I’m interested in are from overseas… and cost a great deal more here sadly.
I’d like to replace my sofa – we have 2 old, mismatched (and not in the shabby chic way!) They’re comfy and not hideously broken or anything, but they are a bit the worse for wear. I’d love to have sofas that match my house’s decor and each other. My lounge room rug def needs replacing too. But it was just a cheapie from Ikea.
The only makeup jingle that comes to mind is of course the Maybelline jingle “Maybe she’s born with it, or maybe it’s Maybelline!” Lol I remember singing that over and over whenI was like 9 years old! Lol
And if I could replace any of my furniture right now, it would be my bed! I would exchange my queen for a nice Tempurpedic(sp?) California King since this Queen is just not big enough for me, my wonderful hubby, our sneaky 4 yr old that always sneaks into bed with us at like 4am, and then our 3 doggies that think they are all human and not dogs bc we truly spoil the heck out of them. But as they are all rescues, I think they deserve to spend the rest of their days lying on couches, getting freebies, and snuggling us in bed! But a bigger bed is definitely needed! Lol
I need to replace my sofa. My son jumped on it and the seat part ended up on the floor. My husband “fixed” it but it needs to be replaced 🙁
My last makeup revelation was when I bought the IT cosmetics LBD foundation brush. It’s seriously the best makeup brush I’ve ever used. I’m going to buy another one so I can switch them off when I wash one/travel with one.
My favorite new beauty trend is Korean beauty masks. They are super fun to try because it is a different experience from your normal makeup routine. The ones I have found so far are very interesting and effective.
Have a great weekend Karen!
I’ve seen someone shoplift before. I work in retail smack in the center of Times Square, NYC. There are ALWAYS people trying to swipe products right under our noses!
My roommate’s hookup once shoplifted a magnet while I was with them. I felt weird about it, but it was too cheap for me to feel okay making a big deal about.
My last aha! moment was when I realized that I could mix my Paula’s choice BHA Lotion with their moisture gel or resist serum to save a step in my skin care routine, this is great and I love their products.
Can’t wait to get my morphe 35O palette!! Fall looks galore!!!
My favorite makeup product that I cannot go without is mascara
My last Eureka makeup moment was when I was getting ready to place an order on mac tonight. I remembered that I use to use paints, and after searching I found that they still have them, yay! Then of course I searched around your website looking at the swatches to figure out which one to order, since I don’t remember my fav! I’m getting Sublime Nature. 🙂
My “aha” moment was when I tried Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector. This highlighter added just the right amount of shimmer to my cheeks without looking overdone or glittery. It is a part of my makeup holy grail.
I saw a man shoplift bananas from a supermarket when I was living in Japan. I’d never seen that happen in Japan before!
I would replace most of our furniture, but with several cats in the house I’m reluctant. It would really suck if we bought new furniture and they tore it up. I think we have to choose carefully and pick things that would not appeal to them.
Maybe it’s maybelline!
I’d like to replace the apartment. does that count? =)
I agree– a new bed would be wonderful!!
Hi Karen! Loved your Tarte Light of the Party look! It turned out wonderfully! Can’t wait to find it in store.
I love reading skincare/cosmetics beauty blogs because they give me so many great ideas of good products. The most recent product that I tried from the recommendation of a beauty blog was the Shu Uemura Stage Performer Smooth-Out Primer and I just love it. Thanks you all the beauty bloggers!
I’d love to get rid of my Ikea bed and get one of those uber expensive base and mattress sets that make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Alas I move around a lot and those things aren’t exactly portable, but one day!
I ordered an SPF from a company overseas. I’m a bit sensitive when it comes to chemical spf so I ordered on containing zinc oxide. Fore some reason it’s not allowed as a UV filter in Europe..
Without thinking too hard…. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe its Maybelline.
My last skincare ‘Eureka!’ moment was the other day when I first used my new Avene moisturizer! Just what I was looking for!
Hi Tabs!
My eureka! Moment was when I realized how good my skin looked for my age due to the use of Retin-A for acne over the last 5 or so years. Not really a makeup moment but it sure helps my makeup! Some acne still there but less wrinkles for being almost 40!
If I could replace a piece of furniture it would be a new bed. It would be heaven to have one that helps my health a bit more. Thank you for the lovely opportunity.
So far I haven’t gotten lucky and won anything yet. Hopefully this might be it. Thank you. 😀
I would replace my couches they are hideous
I’ve ordered makeup and skincare from the UK, to be shipped to the US, a lot over the years and a few times from Japan, as well!
If I could replace any furniture in my place I think I would upgrade my ghetto computer screen that serves as my “television” for a real tv. One day, this will happen, just not right now. ^_^’
I arm-wrestled back at school a few times
“Loreal, because you’re worth it” has been their slogan for years! Love your blog and videos, Karen!!! I love your Unsung Heros series. I’m a MAC girl, of course! <3
Karen, I discovered you very recently and I’m so glad I did…
Reading your blog is kind of my stress buster whilst I sit in my boring office space. However, Once I reach home, to be truly honest, I’ve a one year old baby keeping my hands and hours full, so I kinda miss out on your videos. Just wanted to say you are doing an AMAZZZZING JOB and all the best with your upcoming bundle of joy…
I was once nearly knocked over by a guy legging it from a baby boutique with an armful of clothes!
Hope you have a good weekend!
Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans? Maybe it’s Maybelline!
If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be? The sofa. The springs are sprung and the cats have clawed.
What was your last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment? Using something orange/peach to cover my under-eye circles.
Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas? Not directly, but through amazon sellers.
Yes I have ordered makeup and skin care from a company overseas ; I live in France, and many brands are not sold here, so I order from the States or from the UK ^^ (on Sephora, iHerb, FeelUnique….)
My last makeup eureka moment was when I watched a youtube video (i can’t recall who it was!) that explained that if your skin has a yellow undertone, then cooler pink blushes would look better on you (and vice versa). I always thought orange and peach blushes would work on my warm skin and I keep on buying different shades looking for the perfect one but it never works! I always find myself picking up this one cool blue-ish pink blush I’ve had for years. Feels so counter-intuitive, but I’m now convinced it’s true.
My last makeup “Eureka!” moment was theBalm Mary Lou Manizer Luminizer
Hi! Good morning from Germany (I am spanish but I live here since 2009!)
Do you girls know that in Germany we don’t have Sephora??? OMG it is killing me! We have Douglas, but Sephora is waaaaaay better. I am so glad that Sephora is shipping here now too!
I want to share a nice experience with you!
I was in New York for the first time two weeks ago, and I had the chance to buy a lipstick from MAC Guo Pei in the 5th Avenue store! (I also went crazy im Sephora haha. We have Sephora in Spain, but we are missing a lot of cool brands!)
enjoy your sunday!
Besos & Grüsse,
Cristina
Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans?
Maybe it’s Maybelline
What was your last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment?
Girlactik Matte Lip Paint, they’re light on the lips, long wearing and not overly drying like others matte liquid lipstick
I have ordered form uk my hourglass makeup and pai skincare since I couldn’t find those in my country. Have a nice weekend Karen !!!
If I could replace a piece of furniture in my place, it would definitely be my couch. It’s a 2-seat IKEA Klippan, which must be the least comfortable couch in the world. It came with the apartment, though, and I’ll move out in about a year, so I’ll stick with it until then.
“Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline”
I would replace my desk! It’s cheap and small and doesn’t go with the rest of my furniture!
I did order some lip balms from the US (and some supplements, toothpaste and stevia sweetener). I live in Central-Eastern europe.
I love the smokey eye and fuschia lip on you!! I haven’t considered that palette, but now I just may! 😉
Thanks for the chance to win! My skin care eureka moment was that using a physical exfoliant immediately before a chemical one will give you an inadvertent chemical peel and you’ll peel for a week!
I have ordered sunscreen from Australia. I am very pale and it the best I have ever used.
Slogans are so difficult to come up with! As a new business owner, I am consistently impressed with the way companies use target marketing through slogans. I agree with most other comments here, that Maybelline probably had the catchiest slogan. We tried to make ours match our theme – “Scents the Moment.”
If I could I would raplace my vanity desk, mirror and cabinet, I use a computer rack as my vanity, somes spots for lightening and drawer organizers.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Yes I have ever seen people shoplift but it’s so frequently that I don’t pay no more attention ^.^”
We need to replace our dining table and chairs.
I love MAC forever and ever despite how cheesy it may sound 🙂 thanks for a good blog. Love your videos btw you seem so sweet!
If Icould replace any piece of furniture in my house, it would be my bed!!
The first makeup slogan has come to mind would be Loreal “Because you’re worth it” lol
Having a greeaat weekend so far, gone makeup shopping with friends yesterday and lunch plus dinner out today! I mean, makeup and food! Can’t get any better right?
Congratulations on your baby by the way,Karen! You look extra Fab! 🙂
Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline is the only one that has stuck with me
Hello Karen! I’m a member of Specktra and I saw your name in the list of donors of people who have contributed towards Specktra’s forum conversion. I wanted to tell you thank you for your donation!
If I could replace any piece of furniture it would be my desk! I am dying to get something new and fun in its place.
Funny how mention the shoplifting. I’m a sales associate at a local department store, and just recently a young girl came in to do exactly that. Get this though, her MOM was her accomplice. She was biting off the tags of a juicy couture bag in the jean rack thinking she wasn’t being seen on camera. Oh boy did she have a surprise when she came out of the store with $500 worth of merchandise stuffed in the bag only to find that while she would try to make her “getaway” in the car with her mom, that four cop cars were waiting around the corner to pull up and have them arrested. I guess shoplifting ran in the family…
love the Steven Klein videos. thanks. can’t wait to get my hands on some of that goodies.
I would replace my couch. We bought it because it was on sale (a really great deal) and it looked beautiful. As it turns out, it is the most uncomfortable couch we’ve ever owned.
Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans?
Wow. I really have to think about this one. I haven’t had a tv for more than 15 years, and probably about 90% of commercials never reach me. I’m trying to remember….anything… and I can’t!
You know what? I’m glad, because I don’t need that stuff taking up room in my brain! 🙂
I’ve purchased from Sleek before. Was pleasantly surprised at the shipping time too!
I remember always the slogan of MAC: All ages, all races , all sexes 🙂
What was your last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment?
I remember it was the first time I tried out my Hourglass luminous flush blush. I stayed up late for several nights that week for exams, and my skin just looked pale and ashy. However, I got loads of compliments on how healthy my skin looked wearing that blush, and my mom commented that I finally learned how to take care of myself during exams… That blush reached holy grail status on that day!
A slogan I always remember is “Max Factor, the make up of make up artists”
No I have never seen anyone shoplift before
I armed wrestled a lot in high school.
My brother and I used to arm wrestle a lot when we were little.
I would replace my living room sofa. It’s rweally old !!
If I could replace any furniture it would be the couch. We got it for a bargain, but with a big dog and an almost 3 year old, it has not held up well LOL
I’ve ordered a few makeup items from overseas from the Illamasqua website several years back before it was briefly available at Sephora. It took a few weeks to arrive, the mascara and liner were dried out and awful and it was a big ordeal to return them because in England they normally don’t except returns on makeup. They only gave me a partial refund (better than nothing I know). I still love some things from the company and may order from overseas companies again in the future but only if it’s a must have that I absolutely positively can’t get here. ❤️U?
I had a Eureka skin moment when I used the bio-effect skin care products on my face. Oh my! Real luxe, but really worth it!
My mattress! omg i need a new one! lol
My “Eureka!” skincare moment was when I discovered Simple’s Micellar Water! This stuff is amazing. It removes any trace of makeup or dirt, and leaves my skin, which is normally dry, very hydrated and soft. It’s inexpensive and easy to find coupons for. I have about four bottles of the stuff in my bathroom because I never want to run out!
“The most unforgettable women in the world wear Revlon.” That one is from the 80s.
I would replace my dinning room table for a bigger and more contemporary piece.
Happy Thanksgiving would love some new lipsticks
Tarte: High Performance Naturals
Have a great weekend, Karen! Nothing too exciting planned here
I need new beds in my master & guest bedrooms. The frames are fine, but new mattresses are in order.
I would replace my couch . I like to take naps on the couch and it really is not comfortable .
I have ordered make up online through an international company. Let just say that the products were not as advertised, so I won’t do that again.
My latest skincare eureka moment was getting a hydrafacial. My pores looks so much better.
I need a new sofa,badly.
My last eureka moment was when I realized how much a good eye cream actually works! My skin has gotten so dry since I moved out west and the Mario Badescu lotion I’ve been using helps immensely.
I wish some of the Korean beauty brands were more accessible in the US!
Glad that you feel good, Karen, have a fun weekend.
I was so happy when i finally found this drugstore eye roll-on, until suddenly it stopped being released just after my 3rd time purchase. Oh why…
I hope all are enjoying their weekends. It’s a beautiful Fall day here, and I spent it hanging out with the kitties and binging on Finding Carter.
Because I’m worth it!
I’ve ordered plenty of makeup brushes from overseas — from Japan. I use a forwarding company or personal shopper since many manufacturers don’t ship internationally. But jumping through the extra hoops just makes each hand-crafted brush that much more special.
Happy Fall everyone!!
I always remember as a teenager the double page spread in magazines of Cindy Crawford for Revlon Unforgettable Perfume “The Most Unforgettable women in the world wear Revlon”. It would be the start of make up love.
need some good skin care for acne skin
I grew up with 3 older brothers. Arm wrestling was a daily occurrence! I really tried to win.
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend! 🙂
I used to arm wrestle all the time when I was in school and I was actually better than many of the boys.
I ordered three eye palettes and a couple lip pencils from ChiChi in Australia after watching some of Shaaanxo’s videos and enjoyed them. I keep putting stuff from Zoeva in an online cart but haven’t caved yet.
I always have “easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl” in my head.
If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
First it will be to change my laptop table because it’s old and another i will change wardrobe
Ulta: All things beauty. All in one place.
❤️
I’d like to replace the chair in my living room – my dog thinks it’s hers and it would be nice to have another place for a human to sit down.
In my mother tongue, just to differ, “L’oreal, porque eu mereço” 😉
This weekend I totally did something for my inner girly girl: got myself a new bedspread, a fabulous new throw, some flower and a rockin’ pink laptop case. Now I need a new decorative chair to really set things off. AND, I need some MAC makeup to complete the inner girly girl!:)
I would replace my vanity!
Maybe she’s born with it- maybe it’s maybelline!! Love your blog Karen !!!!!!
I’m trying my first liquid lipstick — the Guerlain one from the holiday collection. I love the staying power but I’m still not sure about the matte finish. . .
Ilove MAC lipstics and I wear it!!!
I order Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation from the UK, I wish it was available in the US!
I actually ordered some foundation from Korea, don’t know the name, it only comes in two colors, but it is the best thing I have ever used in terms of coverage! I will be reordering soon, just so I don’t run out. LOL
I’ve never bought makeup from a foreign country but my husband (who’s in Korea on a 9 month tour) just bought me some from a really popular brand over there and is mailing it to me! 🙂
oh we need a new couch. it’s so sunken in now
using a stiple brush to apply liquid foundation:)
Makeup eureka moment was when I finally figured out how to achieve perfect winged eyeliner. Liquid makeup, very thin brush, and scotch tape to guide the line. When u pull off the tape perfect wing:)
I’m looking forward to getting all new living room furniture! The hunt is on!
What I would really like to change is our kitchen cabinets, but getting rid of this old, ratty floral crap is priority número uno.
“Beauty is only skin deep.” is the tag line I always remember from the commercials. But in fact it is molecules deep because once the product done its job, only the relevant molecules matters in the skin.
It’s approaching the time to replace my mattress.
I snuck over to Target while Colin was napping yesterday and used a gift card I’ve been holding on to for a while with the 10% off all makeup Cartwheel offer, picked up a good selection of stuff I know nothing about from Pixi and Sonia Kashuk. I’ve had really good luck with face products especially from SK! Hopefully when the new baby arrives, I’ll have a few months of little too no makeup buying to compensate for all these tempting deals and releases around the holidays, haha. 😉
I would love to replace my old bed with a nice pedestal bed that has pineapples on all four corners <3
I had a “eureka!” moment the first time I tried First Aid Beauty’s ultra repair cream last winter. I instantly knew I’d found the perfect moisturizer for my super dry skin!
I would replace the coffee table in my living room if my husband didn’t love it that much. The coffee table is made out of concrete cement from top to bottom -.- Everytime I bumped into the corner table, I cry because it hurts so much and I can actually see scraped skin that is on the corner of the table 🙁
“accidentally” knock it over and crack it one day, then you have to(;
One makeup Eureka moment for me was finally doing the cat eye and using a business card to flick the end up. I have found that opens my eyes a bit more without looking overly made up.
I’m having a case of the Sunday-night blues.
I recently started to use makeup removal wipes and now I can’t live without them!
The first jingle that came to mind for me was “two all beef patties lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun, you deserve a break today, at McDonalds!” My mom has a Christmas ornament that plays that one and I’ve been obsessed with it since I was a kid haha!
Top 3 things currently on my mind: 1) Which size of MAC Turquatic should I purchase? 2) I can’t believe there’s only 74 days until Christmas!!! 3) Why can’t I win the lottery so I don’t have to go to work tomorrow????
If I could replace any piece of furniture in my home it would be my sons bed. Not as exotic as getting a new zebra striped couch or a fancy recliner, but my baby boy has long outgrown his toddler bed and is in desperate need of a twin size bed. If I could get him a new bed, I would, but as a result of being chronically ill- my income is gastly low. I’m keeping my eye out for a furniture contest though, and by golly, I’m gonna win it! 🙂 On a quasi related subject, as a result of stress and sleep difficulty, I frequently have dark bags under my eyes. Well, one day my son came into the bathroom while I was putting on some makeup and I was distracted for about a minute. This led to my most recent makeup revelation. I had liquid foundation on my finger which sat there for that minute and when I put it on, it had oxidized a bit and acted more like a concealer than a foundation and covered up my dark circles beautifully!!
If I could replace any furniture piece in my house it would be my Mom’s and Dad’s old dining table. I’m currently working really hard to buy them a new table and chair set and I can’t wait to see the joy in their faces as I love them deeply, thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway, have a fabulous week doll!❤️?
Would love to replace my futon with an actual couch!
one time, on my way to school, I was putting on makeup in the truck. my mom decided it would be hilarious to slam on the brakes and scream in the middle of a back road…causing me to get my lipstick all over my face, and no time to clean it and fix it until I make it to the bathroom in school and at least twenty people see me. not funny at the time, but looking back its pretty hilarious.
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂 I’ve never ordered makeup online and from overseas but I love getting them as presents from family from other countries heehee!
I work in a retail pharmacy and people shoplift all the time from $50 items all the way down to an 88 cent item !
I had a makeup Eureka moment earlier today!!! OMG let me tell you, I was watching Youtube videos and I came across your video of the 2015 Tarte Holiday Collection and I saw the Greatest Glitz Collector Set for Ulta, when I saw the packaging I absolutely fell in love and I realized I had to have it in my possession, after I let out a big yell of excitement, I took my happy self over to Ulta and guess what?! I bought it,and now it’s sitting on my vanity and it looks absolutely gorgeous, I love anything rose gold!! 🙂
Oh and by the way you gained a new subscriber, love your videos!! 🙂
If I could replace any piece of furniture in my house, it would be the mattress on my bed. I would keep the bed itself, and put it in storage, since it belonged to my great-grandmother. However, a twin is so small, and I need a new mattress anyway, so I want a queen size.
I would replace my bed. My whole bedroom is tired and dated looking. I need something more modern….oh, and I would replace my Queen bed with a King.
Hello! My skincare “EUREKA!” moment was definitely when I discovered the importance of pH in the facial cleansers that I was using (should be 5.5 pH ideally). And really the importance of pH overall in healthy skin maintenance.
My eureka moment was when I discovered that a beauty blender can make foundation application so much easier.
I just love a chance to win MAKEUP! Esp Mac. Thanks for the entry!
I would just like to make an announcement that is the culmination of 15 years of patience, diligence, and never-ending frustration: I, Meghan, have finally found my PERFECT RED LIPPY. *wipes tear*
Lol, thanks for this opportunity! Good luck, everyone!
Yes, my proudest armwrestling moment was when I was 12 years old. I armwrestled a classmate and won. The best part was that while I’m right-handed he is a leftie, and I beat him with my left arm (and I’m a girl) 🙂 Fun fact, he went on to play the Norwegian national handball team later on in life 😉
I want to change the living room (couch etc…).I have ordered by e-bay make up foundation and perfumes.
Yes, my co workers and I caught old man stealing a few days ago.
What was mylast makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment? When I tried the Kevyn Aucoin Precision Eyebrow pencil! I simply cannot live without it! It gives me the most natural, full on brows!
Does she…or doesn’t she? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.
I have actually ordered makeup from another company overseas (at the time). It was from Shiro. I was happy with the colors that I got, but I was even more impressed with the candies that came in the package.
Who doesn’t love a treat?
I’ve ordered most of my make up from online stores overseas. Oftentimes the make up I want either isn’t available or is ridiculously more expensive in my country.
G’day Karen! Love your youtube & blog, my last ‘eureka’ make up moment was MAC eyeshadow in woodwinked 🙂
I’m from Australia and make-up is soooo expensive I would love a voucher to go towards some new MAC eyeshadow shades ($26 for the pro pans here!)
What was my last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment? That I have makeup brushes so STOP using the beauty blender so much. 🙂
Last Eureka moment: Body butters — why haven’t I sought out hydration like this before? Currently loving the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush body butter!
Love your reviews on makeups. I’m a newbie so I’m constantly looking for help on what to buy.
My last makeup aha! moment was when I finally decided to admit that my eyes do not look good with wet upper lid liner!
I don’t have anything worthwhile to say this week, but I’d really love to finally win.
Happy Monday! Judging by the way I felt waking up this morning, I could definitely us a new mattress. 🙂
I ordered SUQQU brow pen and powder from Japan. They are my favorite brow products and will be used for a long while. I would like to think it was worth the $ 🙂
if i could replace any furniture in my house, i would get new bedroom furniture. i dont have a bed frame, and my dressers are all falling apart 🙁
I have always wanted a king size bed!
Its my 30th birthday on Wednesday!!!
I’d replace my living room sofa, too big and bulky for the room.
I would love to win and use this baby to try the gorgeous magic of the night collection 😀
Definitely used my weekend to relax and recharge a little. I had been so stressed about things at work and school but I had some me-time that was much needed 😀 even made a trip to my favorite store – Hint – Starts with an S- ends with an A and is known for beautiful black and white logo 😀
•Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans? hmm Maybe it’s Maybelline?
•If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be? Does my whole bathroom count? I really want to renovate my bathroom, it is sooo out dated!
•Have you ever arm-wrestled? hmm I don’t think I have
•What was your last makeup or skin care “Eureka!” moment? hmm recently, I figured out that layering my eyeliner with pencil and liquid makes it easier to get a perfect wing..I start with a rough pencil liner across my lashline, then come back on top with a liquid liner to make a wing and even out the lines and voila! 2 min eyeliner 😀
•Have you ever seen anyone shoplift before? no, not sure how I would react to that. interesting question tho…
•Have you ever ordered makeup or skin care from a company overseas? I have not, I’m always too scared to get scammed, or have my cc info compromised, or have my whole order get lost in the mail and lose my money….I am dying to try Bourjois (sp?) Velvet lippies tho, I may have to give in and buy them on amazon but they are so pricey! I did have an international swap in the past and love it 😀 all the way from Ireland 😀
Thanks for this great giveaway Karen!
•Without looking them up online, can you remember any makeup company jingles or slogans? hmm can’t think of any
•If you could replace any piece of furniture in your house, what would it be? probably my kitchen cabinets, if that counts as furniture

I would like to order make-up on line overseas (Sephora US) but it’s very expensive (from US to France)
Kiss from Paris !
Maybelline – “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s maybelline”
Urban decay – “Beauty with an edge”
Benefit – “Laughter is the best cosmetic”
Tarte – “High Peformance Naturals”
Simple – “Kind to Skin”

Johnson’s and Johnson’s – “a family company ”
Okay, this is not even makeup anymore ?
I just discovered a new Sephora Brand eyeliner and it’s the creamiest eyeliner I have ever used. I have been a MAC eyeliner addict since 7th grade, but this just may have converted me (and for a much smaller price tag).
My brother likes to sing “Maybe it’s maybelline!” right after anyone says the word “maybe” so that’s always going to be one I remember. This is the same brother I’ve been arm wrestling with since we were kids, and even though we’re adults now, we still fight like children 🙂
Kitten costumes are one of the best parts of this season.
i finally jumped on the Beauty Blender bandwagon, and it is worth it’s weight in gold!! It totally transforms how my undereye concealer works and looks
This is me leaving a comment…by the way…love this blog and your cat!
I would replace my couch because my cat scratched it all up!
I would love to replace my living room sofa! It is an old loveseat that is too hard/uncomfortable to sit on and it has a flower pattern on it.
? Easy breezy beautiful cover girl ?
I’ve bought cosmetics from Etude House! Love Korean makeup/skincare!
Hey Karen..

I have arm wrestled before, but rarely do I ever win, haha!
If I could replace any piece of furniture in my house, it would be my bedframe. I’d go with a tufted upholstered headboard.
I’d love a new media console and coffee table to go with our new couch.
Woohoo happy monday!!!!
Not sure if it’s actually a slogan, but I always loved Benefit’s “Looking good is the best revenge.” Hope you had a good weekend!!
I would replace my couch….I loved it when we bought it, but now it offers no support and wreaks havoc on my back. One of these days….
Hope you’ve had a good weekend, Karen! I was so thrilled to hear about Baby Girl. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy.
We just moved into our new apartment about a month ago, and I’m dying to replace our worn out couch with a cute sectional!
Hi Karen! Hope you’re doing well.
“Because you’re worth it” and “Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline” are the two jingles that I remember!
I recently purchased the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation (I’m in the UK) and it is le-gend-ary. Does that count as a eureka moment?
Thanks for having this contest! It’s exciting!
Jenny
Probably our couch. We spent a TON on it and it’s starting to show some wear and tear.
I would really like a new king-sized mattress for our bed
I’d love to replace our couch. Funny enough I’d probably buy the same one again. I still love it, but it’s over ten years old and looking pretty worn out.
I love to arm wrestle and it’s always amusing seeing people’s shocked expressions when they realise how deceivingly strong I am as I’m a really petite girl.
Ohh, you are showing the Enchanted Eve products! I try not to be lemming but I MUST HAVE those purple lipstick bullets! I want to buy oodles of them even if the colors don’t suit me so I can swap out my other favorite lipsticks into them. I don’t know why I love plain color bullets as much as I do. I loved the Archie’s and Alluring Aquatics designs, but other than those my favorite lipstick bullets are the plain ones, like the Sci-Fi collection (orange) and the Moonbathe collection (white). I’ve never been a girly-girl but I’m a complete sucker for a deep jewel-toned purple! I can’t wait for these to come out 🙂
I routinely order cosmetics from a couple of Korean companies…the products are outstanding and usually less expensive than comparable products here. The only drawback is the shipping time, but these companies are also pretty generous with throwing samples in, so it’;s worth it.
all the makeup goodies coming out for the holiday, I have to pick and choose wisely! im only spending on the items I know I will get very good use out of!
Whoops, that would be “Magic of the Night” lipsticks up there. The only thing I don’t care for with MAC’s massive holiday collections is keeping the the names of the different parts straight, LOL.
Also…the only makeup jingle I ever remember is “maybe it’s Maybelline.” I am dying to get a mid century modern dining set. And I once ordered from Sleek Cosmetics (UK) and it was a great transaction!
I remember the “Maybe it’s Maybelline” jingle but I also remember “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Covergirl. I think the first piece of furniture I would replace in my house is our dining table because it was a hand me down and I would love something that reflected my personal taste.
Easy Breezy Covergirl
I actually have seen someone shoplifting at Target and it was crazy because she had a bunch of stuff in a shopping cart and tried walking out with it, yes girl!! she tried walking out with the shopping cart filled with stuff and not paying one single item because she had no shopping bags in the cart. It was actually a scary moment, because I was walking out and I all of a sudden I hear a big thump, and someone yell the words “don’t even try it”, I turn around and the loss prevention men are practically tackling the woman down. It was so crazy!
Karen! Hello. hope your weekend treated you well! i had work on saturday, and it was THE BEST shift, EVERRRRRRR! i was “stuck” in the back, just organizing and processing clothes and accessories, from the go-backs. it was great because things were getting organized, and i didn’t have to deal with the chaos of people being people. LoL.
thanks for the giveaway potential! 😀
i need new perfume!
We live in the middle of a construction zone, but today when nobody was working we walked down the road for an hour or so and looked at what was going on.
My sister is constantly singing commercial jingles, but then she starts changing the words. For instance, “Easy, breezy, beautiful, Cover-squirrel” or “Maybe she’s barn with it, maybe it’s Neigh-belline”.
Hi Karen,
Happy Thanksgiving!!

I order skincare products form Korea all the time. They’re so nice, and affordable which balances out the shipping costs in my mind!
Does carpeting/flooring count? I’d like to replace ALL of it in our house.
I have been buying the palest lightest makeup I could find for years, always describing myself as “butt white” I finally went to a makeup store and was told that I was more of a medium or beige! I look my less “casper-esque” now!
I haven’t ordered makeup or skincare from overseas, but I have ordered hair accessories (hand-carved hair sticks and hair fork) from Hong Kong via Etsy…
My last beauty “eureka!” moment was when I figured out how to line my lips! I have huge lips, BUT i hate how pointy my cupid’s bow is and how low it dips In the middle, some people like that kind of look but I hate it! Now I know how to round out my pointy Cupid’s bow and it suits my face SO much better
I’d replace my couch which is getting old and dingy.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
For the past 2 years, I’ve ordered generic Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) from an Indian pharmaceutical company. No problems at all, and my lashes are super long, although it hasn’t thickened them up as much as I’d like, so I’m glad I don’t spend $150/month on it!
Hope you’re doing well! I’m so excited for all the holiday goodies 🙂
Oh yeah, I used to arm wrestle my brother all the time as kids, always lost too!
I am from Brazil and I get sooo crazy about makeup that Yes, I have already ordered makeup, skincare products also hair products from company overseas cause there are so many nice products that I cannot resist!!
My Beauty “Eureka!” moment recently: the green Smashbox primer really does tone down the red in my skin. And I’m starting to play a little with contouring- this always made me nervous and seemed like it’d look too heavy.
I only started using makeup 1 year ago and I’m obsessed! I love collecting pink lipsticks <3
Is there a winner Karen?
“Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline,” is the makeup slogan that comes to my mind. I feel like it’s got to be one of the most famous ones.
maybe she’s born with it maybe it’s maybelline!
