Is it Thursday already?

How’s it going, girls? Do anything fun last night? After dance class I watched some slightly more proficient (LOL! — slightly) dancers do their thang on So You Think You Can Dance. Did you watch? I think Ade and Melissa have the best chemistry together, but Jeanine might be my favorite dancer overall.

I’d cheer that we’re almost to Friday… but at the rate time’s passing, it’ll be Christmas soon!

Have a great morning.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I saw on Pursebuzz this morning a report that UK newcomer Illamasqua will soon be carried at Sephora stores in the US! Details are still sparse, but that’s good news if you’re a fan of the line. 🙂

    I LOVE So You Think You Can Dance! I agree about Melissa and Ade. I think overall the girls this season are much stronger dancers than the guys….I don’t want any of the girls to go!

      Hi Kajal Couture,

      Me neither! It’s gonna be tough to see them do the next cut.

      Do you have a favorite out of the dancers who are left?

    this season has just been a little meh for me, mainly because the ballroom/latin has not been very good.

    the jive last night was quite good, but the samba was so disappointing… not sharp enough. oh well. there’s always next week!

      Hi Ines,

      Ha, I always think of you when they do ballroom. I dream of being able to move like that. Plus, you gals get the best costumes.

    Just checked Sephora’s blog. “Illamasqua will be available online July 21st on Sephora.com., at the new Times Square store on July 30. It’ll also be available in more stores come Fall.” Ahhhhh new makeup.

      Hi Yadi,

      You are so lucky! I will have to wait until September — that’s when they come here to SF. 🙂

      Who is your favorite dancer from SYTYCD?

    Yay! Another SYTYCD watcher. I agree with ines– this year’s meh. Half the time I fire up the computer after an episode and watch Katee and Joshua’s samba or bollywood, or Lacey’s dances from a few seasons back to compare. And seriously, aside from lifts, some of the celebrity dancers from “that other show” were more entertaining. That said, I like Janette, just cuz she was so slept on.

      Hi Heyhey,

      Awww, I wish I got into it earlier. This is the first season I’ve followed it.

      Do you remember a guy from 2005 named “Big Poppa”? I used to take his hip hop class!
