Rise and shine, morning glory. It’s going to be a beautiful day. 🙂
How was your night? I spent mine relaxing with the men in my life, a remote control and some leftover Chinese food. Speaking of remote controls, you know what movie I really enjoyed? Do you remember Mickey Blue Eyes — the Married to the Mob-type comedy with Hugh Grant, James Caan and Jeanne Tripplehorn (“Fuggedaboutit!”)? Tabs queued it up using Netflix online.
It was released in 1999, which was back before Robert Pattinson stole Hugh Grant’s foppish hair, but thanks to Netflix I’ve been seeing a lot of movies I missed the first time around.
Anywho, what are your plans for today? Are you doing anything fun? I’m hoping that after doing my chores around the house we can drive up to Napa for the day, but I don’t know about that… It’s awfully Hundred-Acre Wood right now. If the fog doesn’t clear, I may just visit Sephora instead, because that’s always fun.

I always wear eyeshadow primer! I don’t know how I lived without it before
One of my new years resolutions is to be more responsible with money/beauty purchases and this little ticket would help me do just that!
The snow outside is crisp and white and dazzles softly in the bright light.
Oh i love primer too.
It snowed a lot where I live and it’s still snowing! All my plans have to been changed to staying inside.

I received my Urban Decay Naked palette yesterday in the mail! I’m super excited, it’s crazy versatile and just… amazing. If anyone wants to pick it up, I’ve heard that it’s on stock at Ulta online! Thanks for doing this contest!
i cannot live without primer
Waiting with baited breath for my UD Naked Palette. As it turns out, I still haven’t had to buy a full-sized UD Eye Ptimer because I keep getting sample-sized ones with other products. And I still can’t decide if I like UD or just a Mac Painterly paint pot better.
i’m a follower already. hope i can win 🙂
I am in love with Netflix Watch Instantly! Mr. Kinne and I are currently watching all the seasons of “Lost.”
I rarely wear primer but I have a feeling I will when my UD naked palette comes on Tuesday!!! Finally! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend!
I am currently avoiding my government study guide to enter this!
I could totally use this to buy that Givenchy lipgloss I’ve been coveting for like 2 yrs. It’d be amazing.
I get super frustrated when I try out a lipstick shade at a store and end up really liking it but then when I get home, I find out the shade’s actually MUCH darker than I thought. It’s happened to me twice! 🙁
Ah my favorite romantic comedy is 10 Things I Love About You! I lhave always loved that movie LOL totally lame I know but you asked LOL
Please enter me into the contest. I love love love eyeshadow primer and can’t live without it. I also LOVE sephora!:)
My husband and I are going on our first date night tonight after we had our baby girl! Yay I can’t wait we so need this!
I’m listening to The Doors right now!
I’d love to win this! I love Sephora!
I’m also following & tweeted:

I’ve been trying to find an eyeliner for the waterline that doesn’t just disappear after a few hours. Any recomendations?
I looove the Clinique pore minimizer!
My tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/Sanna4444/status/23778744976019457
You know, I’ve actually never jumped on the eyeshadow primer train… maybe I will if I win the gift card!! 🙂 🙂
I’m debating on whether or not to buy anything from the MAC Peacocky collection.
I’ve just returned from a vacation to the island I grew up in (Very small island town) with my boyfriend (And my parents) and am feeling super blissed out. As much as the place is lacking in terms of entertainment, I really miss that place and the home I grew up in- and my old mongrel terrier mix dog who can’t move here because of ear problems and thus can’t take a flight. Can’t wait to go back when I can 🙂
I love love love “When Harry Met Sally.” It’s a classic!
Nope, never used eyeshadow primer. However, I believe Urban Decay does a decent one!
I’ve never entered one of your contests I’m so excited! 🙂 you have the best beauty tips!
Not my greatest beauty moment… I just hard-core cleaned my kitchen sink and it was gross! I know I need a manicure now, but I just can’t wash my hands enough first!
Eyeshadow primer is most definately a must!
I loooooooove RomComs! I guess one of my all time favorites is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Nothing like spending QT with your favorite men!
I only wear primer when I am going out for the night, but usually not on a day to day basis 🙂
I’ve splurged on so much makeup buys recently that I’m on a shopping ban for the next 2 months!
Quiet day to myself. Tomorrow my parents are visiting and they’re bringing my wedding dress along. yay!
One my new years resolutions is to start taking better care of myself. This would help :>)
I can’t wait until the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary set comes out online at sephora! I’m totally going to splurge on that.
I’m slightly peeved that stylishly yours by mac is apparently web only in the UK. It’s not the same if you can’t play with the products before deciding what to purchase!
We’ve got an ice storm coming and I’m not even worried about the heat going out. I’m just worried about my polishes in the fridge.
I love twilight. mmmm best romance ever!
Snowing here, but it should stop soon.
Don’t know where I’d be without primer! With some really nasty eye make up, that’s for sure! I’m currently conditioning my hair with Burt’s Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment! Smells delicious…
I’ve realized my 5 year plan seems so scary to me right now. My boyfriend wants to have at least his first child before he turns 30 and he’s turning 25 in two weeks. Both of us still have to figure out what we want to do with our lives before that. Eeesh.
Eyeshadow primer is a MUST as far as I’m concerned.
I have on plum eyeliner right now with little sparkles in it! my first time trying this color..Me likes.
I’ve been following your blog for years now, but I’ve been pretty quiet. Just wanted to say hello!
Soo I looove makeup and my 3 lil girls looove to play in mommies makeup therefor I could use some new makeup since mine gets used by a 1yr old a 2yr old and an 8th old!!! We are a very makeup friendly house lol!!!
I should be working on my Master’s thesis… but instead, I’m reading your website! Ruh roh!
oh dear lord, romantic comedies are my guilty pleasure.
i will forever love notting hill because i cannot get enough of hugh grant!
a foot of snow fell last night, and the kitten wants nothing more than to play in it…. 🙂
I always always wear eyeshadow primer and I’m still shocked when I learn one of my friends doesn’t use any!
I’m out of my Hope In a Jar from Philosophy & this would make my face so super happy if I could win it 🙂
I love the time to wear blush everyday morning. I’m a blush lover~They make me be fresh and alive:)
So cool! I would love to win this so I can get the YSL Touche Eclat!!!
My New Years resolution was to give up Starbucks. First couple days went okay but right now I. Really. Want. A. Latte!!!
Great contest! I am not doing anything today-there’s a blizzard outside! 25 cm of snow is falling so I am having a pyjama day!
i’ve tried primer but i dont use it often
I’m in serious need of new bare minerals!
My sister is coming up today, and I can’t wait to get to spend some quality time with her. First thing on our agenda (weather permitting): brunch and shopping tomorrow!
Also waiting for my UD Naked palette. OH man!! I’m so excited!
Romantic comedies – I love them! So hard to choose my favourite. But recently re-watched The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz and very much enjoyed it.
I use Urban Decay Primer Potion every. single. day!!!
Hugh Grant is much cuter than Robert Pattinson!
My favorite romantic comedy is Two For The Road with Audrey Hepburn & Albert Finney. Chemistry off the charts between those two !!!
I am leaving for school again today (after a lovely winter break home with the family) and I know $50 to Sephora would drastically improve my stressed out mood!
I need some majorly moisturizing hair conditioner, and this gift card would truly help!
Karen, you rule! You always have the best giveaways!
I’m definitely a Sephora girl!
Good luck to everyone!
Cheers!
One of my new years resolutions was to be more organized and use my time wisely. However, i’m pretty sure i’ve already failed at this. Its in the high 70’s today here in Palm Beach, so I believe laying out by the pool would be better than doing work 🙂
The snow this morning delayed my Sephora trip….maybe for a reason 😉 great contest Karen!!
I got some goodies from the Chanel Spring Collection and I am hooked on Chanel already. Love the glossimers. It was my 1st Chanel purchase ever!
My favorite romantic comedy is the wedding singer 😉
my poor, housemommy face could totally use some Sephora love.
My husband says he wants me to win this. Silly boy thinks if I have a gift card I won’t spend our money. Haha, in his dreams :).
i like baby-turtles they are so cute!!
Viva la Juciy would be a great scent to start off 2011!
I love Twilight 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try MUFE foundation for a looonnggg time just haven’t been able to bring myself to shell out the money for it. So this would be perfect. Thanks so much for the chance!!
I love UDPP! Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi! I’m Melissa and I’m a Beauty product Addict 🙂
Mmmmm gingerbread tea… Would go GREAT with some new lippy! 😉
Eye shadow primer is a must for me. I have deep eyelid creases and kind of oily lids, so I like to make sure my shadow is locked in place! I usually use UDPP, but I recently got some NYX white eye shadow base. It’s supposed to make your eye shadow colors brighter, but I’m not sure how much of a difference I actually see…
We just got Netflix too…I’ve been making my husband catch up on the 80’s movies he missed…I think Labyrinth scarred him! 🙂
I’m still debating the UD Naked palette. Too frosty or no?
I am heading to Sephora today for a mommy day sans kids. I can’t wait to get lost in the rows of makeup and not have to worry about my daughter playing with all of the samples. She is already loving the make-up….what can I say the apple does not fall ffar from the tree.
Hmmmm, my fav romantic comedy is definitely PS I Love You, but I don’t really know how funny it is lol. Eyeshadow primer? CHECK! But if I’m in a rush, I almost always forget! î„. Oh and in five years I hope to be a supervising officer (I’m a probation officer =) ).
My temptemental black cat Skelly, his frienemy, my little black chihuahua Misfit, and I are still trying to figure out how to make a rockin’ chai latte at home. HALP!
The sun is out! Yay!
i hope to start running for my new year’s resolution. it would be nice to be fit.
I really want the clarisonic plus face cleansing system from Sephora and this would help me get it lol.
yay for give aways!!
I’m listening to firework by katy perrry as of the moment. love it! i wanna try that kind of look, it looks so classy 🙂
In five years I hope to be a pediatric oncology nurse, engaged & planning my dream wedding =)
*btw thank you for the Zoya polish codes, I piced up Edyta, Nina & Raven =)
I am procrastinating going outside in the snow, a lot… It’s so pretty yet so inconvenient!! 🙁
I love love love “You’ve got Mail” and it’s usually on during the holiday season but I never found it to watch 🙁
It’s so good!
I’ve got so many things on my to-try list, and this would help make a great dent in it!
In five years I hope to be a pediatric oncology nurse, engaged & planning my dream wedding =)
*btw thank you for the Zoya polish codes, I picked up Edyta, Nina & Raven =)
oooh there are soo many things I want from sephora…so…many….CHOICES
This gift card would help me ring in the New Year! *Crosses fingers* =)
Rarely wear eyeshadow primer, I always forget!
Yeah, Sephora shopping *^* That’s exactly what I’d need now, haha
http://twitter.com/theannamontana/statuses/23796135596392449
If I won this I’d definitely buy myself a Naked Palette!
I wear primer every single day I wear eyeshadow. Don´t know how I ever lived without it 😉
lol. i love your comment about Robert P stealing Hugh grants hair lol! That just reminds me of how much I should watch Love Actually again. My current Netflix instant watch waste-away-the-winter pick is the Seasons 1 and 2 of Pushing Daisies. I love all the sundresses and the storybook style plot. Love your blog- crossing my fingers for the sephora gift card – there is a YSL berry lipstick that has been calling my name for-ev-er!

I’d love to win this to make the UD liner set more affordable. Thanks!
Yesterday I had a non-stop klutz day. I dropped practically everything I touched, and the day ended with me stubbing my toe so hard on my bathroom door frame that I’m totally gimpy today. 😛 Do not want!
I had leftover chinese food last night too! Soooo yummy. Also, eyeshadow primer changed my life! I never do eye looks without it.
I’m actuallu trying to decide which new eye primer to buy! I was using one from Victoria’s Secret, but I’m almost out.
My favorite Rom-Com is View From the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow !
I’m going through a serious Nars lemming phase. (Neeeeeeed those matte lipsticks.) Which is a problem because I should be buying art supplies. Darn.
My New Years resolution is to take control of my anxiety. 🙂
I have decided that I need a personal false eyelash applyer. I dream of wearing them everyday but the hassle can only be overcome by having a dedicated person in my makeup arsenal to apply them each morning. A girl can dream, right? 😉
I am obsessed with everything at Sephora!!
I’m spending the weekend with my parents and just built a snowman with my mom in the backyard <3
I have oily lids so I HAVE to wear eye shadow primer. No options! I usually wear a primer and base for extra coverage.
I currently use the eye primer from bare escentuals and I love it! One tube will last you a long time 🙂
I can’t live without eyeshadow primer! If I have all of my make up with me except that, I prefer to go au naturale!
If I win I can get the smashbox eye shadow palette you reviewed! Here’s hoping!
I made banana pancakes today with a side of bacon 🙂 YUM!
alejandra [at] imaginaledesign.com
Your pictures always make me miss NorCal.. 🙁
I either use MAC paint pot or UD Primer Potion as a primer before eyeshadow. It helps my shadow stay put (but my eyeliner still seems to get a little smudgey in the inner corner — still working on a fix for that!).
I hope I win! I love your blog. You and Tabs are so interesting!
I liked Serendipity! Thought it was cute. I tend to go for more dark films though like Pan’s Labyrinth or the Departed lol. I wonder what that means ;-).
We just had a big family dinner for my mom’s b-day, everyone together. It was fun, but chaotic.
Oh, and Sephora rocks my world! My favorite place to shop so ty for this awesome giveaway.
Tweeted @MissingLynxx
have a great weekend!
I recently purchased the Nars Pro Prime and started using it. No word yet on its performance. I would lurve me some Sephora money OR some Paypal monies. Both are like heaven to me 🙂
I love Tabs. That is all.
Sadly, I’ve never seen Mickey Blue Eyes. I do enjoy Hugh Grant so I’ll have to add it to my queue.
hi i love your site and ive been trying to win your contests every time..but never do 🙁 but hopefull this time i will win!!
Love Actually is the best!
My boyfriend’s band is playing at a casino in Oklahoma today, and I can’t wait to drive up there and meet him! Gambling is my secret white trash activity. Living in a state without legalized gambling is hard!
I LOVE Hugh Grant. I have yet to watch Mickey Blue Eyes. Love Actually is my ultimate favorite chick flick. =)
I love your site btw!
It’s a chilly weekend, but I’ve got a sweet potato roasting in the oven — I can’t wait to cuddle up with that on the couch and look at the frost!
Good Morning Karen!
It’s snowing here in Philly. I work for Starbucks and so I was out of the house by 4:30am. It was clear when I left and then I got to bike home in the snow around noon. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Favorite romantic comedy is The Proposal! I love Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock.
I wish I owned my own sephora!!
Its snowing here and I am wedging out on the couch watching the wedding planner 😉
I’m moving out and taking on new responsibilities soon…I’ll miss my dogs and the loads of free time I reserve for beauty blogs and makeup.
O generous girl
I’m commenting in haiku
And hope I am picked
😉
Thank god eyeshadow primer is no longer required in the winter – but it’s a must in the summer, must be that humidity!
I really want to get Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Ore 🙂
i think i have a make-up shopping addiction! I continually buy it, but my routine rarely changes…haha
I am dying to try all the Spring 2011 collections.
I love Sephora. Your blog is great! new follower.
Thanks to one of the comments above I just ordered to naked palette from ulta. I am super excited!
One of my all-time favorite romantic comedies is You’ve Got Mail. It’s nice to be reminded how connecting to the Internet worked before, haha…
Cool, thank you for the chance to win! :]
I always use primer on my lids before I put on any eyeshadow!
i would love to get some new eyeshadow & eyeliner!
I just recently started reading your blog and I love it! Also my fav rom com and probably movie is Sleepless in Seattle! 🙂
I use the Two-faced primer!
Handsdown best romantic comedy is The Proposal. Ryan Reynolds, need I say more??
Just re-watched Before Sunset and fell in love with it all over again.
My hubby and I are going to Charley’s Crab House for dinner, right on Palm Beach. Beautiful view of the ocean. Hope your day gets sunnier Karen!
Lately i haven’t had time to watch the shows i like to watch at the time that they air, so i usually watch my shows on hulu which is free and convenient =)
I am wearing an absolute glam smokey eye but am dressed in slouchy old sweats… Sometimes a gal hit by flu just has to enjoy making herself pretty, even if she is unlikely to leave couch and/or her blankey today 😉 just don’t forget to disinfect after!
And here’s my tweet 🙂 http://twitter.com/DalaLuz/status/23808310956269568
Oh..how i would love to win and splurge at Sephora…
I have to wear an eyeshadow primer. My eyelids are pretty oily which sucks! Mac paint pots are the only thing that works well for me!
I’m going to the ‘body world and the brain’ expo at my local science world! I’m a little squeamish… but luckily I’ve got my hubby with me!
Tabs is awesome! I love cats.
I have turned into a nail polish snob who doesn’t like to wear the same colour twice!!! It’s a serious problem..
Just adore Sephora! Thank you for the chance!
I never win anything!
Just recently started using eyeshadow primer, I use Two Faced Shadow Insurance. I love it! I am a barista and sometimes work very long days and it helps my shadow stay on all day and sometimes all night! Have a great day and thanks for the awesome giveaways!!!
“T-Money” and “K-Dawg” are awesome nicknames 😉
And I just bought the UD Naked Palette online last night… I can’t wait for it to get here!
Ahhh, dumb. I typed out my comment, and then got distracted retweeting (@lpwelkey) and never submitted!
Anyway, I’d def put this towards the UD 15th Anniversary set. It’s wayyyyy beyond my financial ability right now haha.
My favorite romantic comedy is Rushmore. It is a weird little Wes Anderson gem with Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman.
And I love eyeshadow primer. I wear it daily. I normally go for UD. But recently I ran out and had to try the Loreal. Not bad. But if I won this contest I could buy myself more Urban Decay! Yay!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Tweeting also (@nicolema83)
My most favorite romantic comedy is You got mail! yes I know! it is old! but That was a great movie! also sleepless in Seattle! awesome! Forrest Gump was and is till my most favorite movie! can you tell I’m a huge Tom Hanks fan? lol
Thanks for this giveaway! 🙂
In 5 years, I will have already graduated from University and I will be enrolled in Esthetics/Cosmetology school! 🙂
I love Sephora!
One of my favorite romantic comedies is While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock…it was early 90’s, I think? But def worth checking out!
I’m not a fan of romantic comedies, but I surprisingly enjoyed “The Notebook”.
Sephora is my favorite store for makeup!
Love your blog BTW!
I watched Chaos Theory with your boy Ryan Reynolds last night! It was pretty good, a bit mor serious than I’m used to from him!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Woo! I could really use this to buy an eyeshadow palette (Too Faced Romantic) I’ve had my eye on!!
My fave romantic comedy is Love Actually, well maybe its not a comedy, but it is very heartwarming movie.
I’d put this towards a nars blush and maybe a crease brush, since I don’t have one yet and i’m looking to recreate a lot of looks on here 🙂
Bought my first Urban Decay eyeliner and love it!
Snowboarding conditions are excellent today at Big Bear!
It’s not necessarily eyelid primer but I start every day with Benefit creaseless cream shadow/liner in honey bunny. I just love it!
UD’s PP is totally a gold standard for eyeshadow bases!
Debbie is right “While You Were Sleeping” is a great romantic comedy! “The Holiday is another!
after 66 hr school nd work week…i finally got rest today!! =) eyeshadow primer is a MUST, it ALWAYS use to crease and fade away but ever since i started to use eyeshadow primer, everything just looks perfect!
love actually 🙂
Ooooh. I love my primer! I also got my Mom hooked on using it as well.
I can’t believe I finally got my Naked palette on Monday!! Ive been waiting for it for so long. I love it!!!
I do like to watch the romantic comedies. But I cant seem to remember even one name right now 🙂 . I do like Notting Hill and You’ve got mail. One fine day with george cloony.
twitter : newtomakeup
I love cats. I have two, Logan and Sophie. 🙂 I currently have no one to practice my makeup skills on, so…watch out cats.
Love Actually is one of the best movies ever!
Oh goody, more giveaways! My favorite romantic movie of all time is When Harry Met Sally…I’m not sure if it qualifies as a rom-com, but it is truly a classic 🙂
I love your blog. It’s a daily read!
my favorite movie is (500) Days of Summer! i have the dvd and i watch it over and over and over and over again<3
I LOVE your picture of the day! 🙂

I loved the quip about Robert vs. Hugh’s hair LOL good one!!
Hoping to get my UD 15th anniversary pencil set soon…probably what I would put the gift card toward.
Favorite romantic comedy will always be “The Princess Bride”
Sitting on my couch on a dreary rainy Saturday afternoon reading beauty blogs.
I love Sephora!
Karen!! I wanna see more youtube videos from you! especially eye tutorials!
I can’t believe I missed out on ordering UD Naked palette! Sigh, I will continue to wait patiently for it to become in stock again.
i love your blog! yey for giveaways! 🙂
I really need to restock my MUFE DUO MAT foundation and need a new mascara? suggestions?
my favourite romcom is the wedding planner! there’s also one from the 80s called some kind of wonderful that came out when i was still a baby, so i’m not sure how i was even able to watch it :p. but unrequited love always gets to me…
twitter handle: @callitbeauty_
One of my new year’s resolutions was to revamp my beauty routine. Perfect for this giveaway!! 🙂
i recently started using e.l.f cosmetics and i am in loooove!!! their stuff is so cheap, and i just love how great everything is. the eyeshadow primer is soo amazing!
I really need to go buy some paper towels, but I’m just to lazy to leave my apt! Lol :o)
lol. speaking of Robert Pattinson… I’m watching Twilight while I clean my apartment. I just wanted something on in the background.
Alright open post? My hair is driving me nuts. It won’t straighten without a direct edict from god but if I leave it curly it looks like one of those wigs you see on the top of a stand at the goodwill, with the curls poppin out all over the place. And we had a management change at work that is very concerned about Professional Appearance which frankly my hair is not physically capable of. For many reasons mentioned in the above passage, I’m totally ready to shave my head and move to a monastery, but I’m not sure I can make it without beer and nars…
Thanks for the contest. And the open forum for me to vent a little crazy. 😛
I’m crossing my fingers and making a sephora wish list! 😛
I need this to justify purchase of a guerlain rouge G. 🙂
I just started using Urban Decay primer potion last month and I really love it.
Karen, Thank you for your l/s recommendation from the MAC Mickey collection. I second more tutorials from U.
I don’t work during the school year and my favorite eyeliners are nearly gone. This would certainly help me out!
Man, now I want to watch Mickey Blue Eyes again. Last night I watched “An Education,” which I thought was a great movie.
awesome idea! i can comment on anything! well my only thought right now is that i hope i feel better tomorrow and hope that my nose stops running! but great contest
My favourite romantic comedy is probably either Love Actually. I know it’s something of a Christmas movie, but I happily watch it at any time of the year because it’s just so freaking cute.
I cant seem to make my eyeshadow look right
I love love love romantic comedies! I just watched The Proposal this weekend and I laughed till I couldn’t laugh anymore. It had awesome comedy, especially that forest scene! And, not to mention, Ryan Reynolds was in it. How much more could you love it?
I hope not to offend anyone with my comment, but I’ve always thought of Ryan Reynolds as a huge toolbag. I did just watch a movie of his in which I thought his character was slightly more redeeming, the movie was called “Chaos Theory”.
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I started to noticed that I’m developing some dark circles under my eyes, and am in need a good concealer. So, this giftcard would be amazing!!
I have tried a number of different eyeshadow primers but haven’t found one I like – any suggestions?
this is my chance to finally try a dior foundation!
Just took my little man out sledding and left him with his friends for the first time (he’s 7). As much as I want to go check up on him every 5 minutes, I have to give him some freedom 🙁
I almost always use eyshadow primer, but I’ve found that MUFE’s full cover concealer works almost as well for me!
I always wear eye primer!! Never again will i wear eyeshadow without it
its been a rough month with holiday spending, so i could totally use this to purchase some things on my wishlist.
I’m watching Ghost Adventures and it’s scaring the crapola out of me.
I’m a blush whore. There I said it.
I’ve still got my eye on Chanel’s vitalumiere foundation. Somehow I’ve been wanting this for a long time, but I never got around to buying it…
Maybe when my paycheck arrives??
I went to CVS yesterday to check out their Beauty sale. I made out like a bandit! I got almost $70 worth of beauty products for $14. It was so exciting!
We got a snow storm last night, so am I leaving my snuggly warm house today? Fuggedaboutit! 😉 Yay for internet shopping! Thanks Karen. xoxo
Hey Karen!
My favorite romantic movie is Pride & Prejudice. I could watch it a million times, and it would never get old. Also, instead of primer I always use the MAC cream color bases. Have a good day 🙂
Wanna win 🙂
I have been with a cold all week and it is driving me crazy. Instead of feeling better, I am feeling worse and my voice is horrible:(
About to go to the mall and check out Mickey Contractor for MAC!
I can’t do without an eye primer! I’ve been using mac’s painterly but I kind of want to try something a little darker as a base. Any recs?
Recently started using Too Faced Shadow Insurance and I love it! Not sure how I ever survived without it! I also just recently discovered the world of ‘colors other than brown’ eyeshadow. Now I find myself experimenting and doing my eye makeup ‘just because’!
Thanks for doing this wonderful giveaway. Oh, the things I could buy with a $50 Sephora gift card!
I like eyeshadow primer, but do not use it daily.
And again i try to winnnnn..so desperatly want to shop!!! 🙂
Also tweet this with name EllenB84
I wear Laura Mercier’s eye basics in wheat every time I wear eyeshadow. I love it!
love sephora!
I love Madea’s Family Reunion as my favorite romance movie. You have to love Boris Kojoe! Thanks for this contest!!
I love Netflix! Shutter Island just got put on, it’s a good watch.
i love your blog:)
I am sad today. I am sick and I had plans on spending my $80 Macy’s GC on makeup! I guess I’ll have to wait until I get better. I hope it is soon! I want new makeup! 🙂
When Harry Met Sally- my favorite!
Love, Actually!! Can’t go wrong 🙂
New goal: beauty from the inside out. I’m going to try the alkalanizing diet. Want to try with me?
Another excuse to go to sephora(x
I’d love this! Have a great weekend! 🙂
I’ve bought soooo much makeup lately! In fact I just got Too Faced’s new Romantic palette in the mail yesterday. I’m lemming for their new primer too. Too Faced’s Shadow Insurance is my HG of primers and I think the new Candlelight primer will be right up my alley.
I have to watch that movie again. It’s been so long I can barely remember the plot.
Sephora Baabyyyy!!!! Yay~
I like Johnny Depp and giveaways (like these :D)!!
Netflix Watch Instantly has me exploring all kinds of genres I’ve never, the most recent being anime!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
It’s not my favorite rom-com, but right now I’m watching The Wedding Planner. 🙂
i vowed not to go shopping (for myself) until my birthday (april 21) and today, i have to go to the mall to buy my friend a bridal shower gift, i’m going to get her, among other things, “the bridal party” set from philosophy aaand its going to take every bit of my willpower not to buy things for myeslf, especially since i got paid + bonus yesterday, ahhh help me
Sephora is my new addiction! I love the feeling when I feel like I’ve done a really good job on my makeup. 🙂 I normally use brown, gray and gold but want to experiment with some different colors! 🙂
it’s so cold outside
I always wear eyeshadwo primer, b/c my oily eyelids… and my shadow still creases.. any tips? Do I need to try the primer with a paint pot or something?
If I win, I’d buy the Illamasqua sealant so my brow cake would stop migrating!
i want ud’s naked palette but its not available here where i live and shipping from us to my place is pricey :((
Eyeshadow primer! I’m probably going to be the only one here who hasn’t ever tried it before! I guess I’m not much of an eyeshadow wearer.. just once in a while.. am more of a black liner on the top lid and lots of coats of mascara type of girl.. 🙂 Now there’s a new year’s resolution for me! lol.. wear more eyeshadow and polish up my skills too!
i just bought urban decay’s lip primer potion and i swear its god’s gift.
Happy Saturday!
Karen, I think you and Tabs might enjoy Bringing up Baby, one of my favorite romantic comedies. XXOO
Romantic comedies- one of my favorites is Bridget Jones Diary- go Hugh Grant and Colin Firth-loves and one of my other faves is the Matchmaker it has Jaeneane Garafolo (sp?) it’s pretty good too!
my favorite romantic comedies are notting hill and easy a! hahahah i hope i win 🙂
Pretty woman!
I love 2 weeks notice as a romantic comedy! SO funny and such a great plot and characters! Thanks for this contest!
I loved Mickey Blue Eyes with Hugh Grant, I laughed so hard when he tried to do an Italian American accent.
I am watching my blind kitty mew at birds flying by the window, so cute!
OMG! Gaby giffords was shot in the head point blank!! Sad:-/
I started wearing UDPP since I got the Book of Shadows 3 and I’ve never looked back! 🙂
I always wear eye shadow primer. My favorite is shadow insurance bc it is so light and truly lasts for hours!
Another day another awesome giveaway! Just yesterday I gave into makeup temptation and bought the “Virgin Isle” cream color base from MAC. It’s excellent! But I can surely find a way to use $50 at Sephora still…
I’m glad we’ve gotten just a little snow in Chicago again–it didn’t seem normal for this time of year when it was all melted!
I see myself done with grad school in 5 years and hopefully working as an SLP 🙂
Surprised to find that Mac online does not have the Mickey C Foundations and some of the items were already sold out!
Oh I believe there was a contest like this not too long ago! Here goes! I’m looking at a few tinted moisturizers so that’s what I’d probably use the gift card on.
The Wedding Planner is my favorite romantic comedy.
I always use Urban Decay shadow primer
I’m at work.. Catching up on my beauty blogs.. =]
my favorite color is green
I’m SO excited! Next weekend i’m going to Seattle with my Mom, and i’m TOTALLY hitting up the Sephora there for some Illamasqua (can’t get it in Canada).
Yay for giveaways! Someday Alaska will get a Sephora and I won’t have to do most of my shopping on the Internet… or drag my fiance to every Sephora we pass when we travel!
Seeing all these spring colors make me look forward to spring. But I’ll still digging the Mac winter collections. Peacocky is fantastic. Thanks for hte giveaway!
I love Hugh Grant!! He has this boyish charm that’s sooooo hot.
Most Romantic…The Notebook and Sunday’s at Tiffany’s .
i’m really into trying false lashes at the moment, but i wonder which ones are best for asian eyes.
I am at home, doing nothing… well, I cleaned the bathroom… in a full face of makeup because I got a MAC order yesterday and couldn’t wait to try out Ladyblush blushcreme and Cosmo lipstick. (Which, btw, look nice together.)
Favorite romantic comedy: The Proposal
I heart Sephora. Never been able to afford anything there, though.
I’m at home, stuck on bedrest after a baby scare on Thursday morning….and it SNOWED, both yesterday and today, so I’m laying on the couch, watching Netflix streaming through our PS3. Thank god for Netflix!!!
i wear the mini ud primer
It’s two in the afternoon and I JUST woke up! :s
I wanted to catch the Macys one day sale, but it snowed this morning in my area. HA!
Today is my birthday and this would be an excellent gift. 😉 The cat & I are chilling with a Chinese food feast, books to read, nails to do, and action movies to watch. Yay!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love netflix too i got rid of my cable after getting it. I love the streaming stuff…tonight after i put my 4 month old to bed i am going to start watching the office which is a show my brother said i might like…
I need a vacation….
I got some MAC peacocky shadows, love them!
yay excited – love contests!
Love the blog; love your cat. Mine is trying to catch the birds through the window at the moment. Hope your Saturday is great!
It’s cold
Happy Saturday! New product that I just started using & love…. Philosophy facial firming serum. Love it! Smells great and doesn’t make my skin break out. Great under make-up.
Great Giveaway!!
I hate Cedar trees!!
Love your blog!
Mickey Blue Eyes is awesome! I think we need more fun, yet action-y type movies like that nowadays.
In five years, I see myself as a slender and elegant old woman with a silvery white bun. : )
I’m 23 weeks pregnant! Only 17 to go and I’m so excited to meet my little man :).
Yay! Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi Karen, thanks for making this giveaway available to international babes! It is so cold where I live right now, we have a snow storm coming in and it is -18 C :[ Keep warm!
sephora should get bigger in the benelux
happy three kings! 🙂
I had a crummy day that was made all better with my Naked palette waiting for me at my front door when I got home 🙂
Wow, so many generous Sephora giveaways! Karen, you’re the best 🙂
I want to see my girlfriend …. only a few hours though!
PS Thanks for holding this giveaway, you’re the best Karen! <3
Oh my goodness, for some reason leftover Chinese food sounds DIVINE right about now. Maybe I’m just hungry, haha. Karen, you are so sweet to your readers! I wish I could afford to buy you a fully stocked Sephora, just for you (and Tabs!).
I’ve worn some type of shadow primer for (gulp) thirty years. Love Urban Decay!
I just tossed out a lot of old makeup/skincare and now I need replacements. Great timing! 😀
Tabs really reminds me of my own kitty, Tigger 🙂
i know what time it is <3
Hey Tabs and Karen a.k.a (T.Money and K.Dawg) My favorite romantic comedy is the Proposal and Date Night<3. Hope I win;)
I love Mickey Blue Eyes, my favorite part is the fortune cookie scene! I love Urban Decays eyeshadow primer, I saw it on one of your posts a while back and went to sephora to get it.
Can you please enter me! Thanks:)
Every Christmas I hope for a Sephora gift card, and I never get it. *pouts*
loving winter at the moment. just snowed so i’m living in a winter wonderland
Today my favorite soccer team (PSG from Paris) won, so i’m happy 🙂
Been crazy about all things Japanese lately: Japanese grocery stores are like Disneyland for me!!!
Your blog rocks!
On another note….I’ve been having the meanest craving for sweet potato fries lately!
You have the best competitions! Wish i could win one day lol
Thanks for the opportunity
If i win then mamas gettin new lip glosses :p
My favorite romantic comedy would have to be “Four Christmases.” It is hilarious! “The Proposal” is second, just because I love Sandra Bullock and of course, Ryan Reynolds.
In five years, I see myself in grad school pursuing my dream career as a formulation chemist. 🙂
goooooooo saints!
In five years, I will have my masters degree in biology and I will be married to my fiance and be living on an army port and be an army wife =]
I heart Netflix! The instant ques us the best!
Another great contest!! Love it.
PS – Despicable Me is a hilarious, adorable movie.
I went to sephora the other day and bought myself the too faced natural eye palette and I love it 🙂
great giveaway!
I always wear eyeshadow primer.
I’d love to win this 😀
I would buy a benefit’s cream eyeshadows- they are realy great!
I love the urban decay naked paletteeee!! It wasss back on sephora online but it’s sold out now… I made sure to order it! 🙂 so happy
What’s worse – side swept bangs that are too long or side swept bangs that are too short? I never get them just right. I feel like Goldilocks and all I want are my bangs to be trimmed perfect.
Hugh Grant will always be my go to romantic comedy leading male.
It’s 4 PM and I woke up about an hour ago. Go me!
I love the movie Dear John. It had me crying soooo bad at the end.
I am in love with my Milani liqui-fy pencil. I’ve never been able to waterline before.
I don’t always wear primer, but I have been wearing cream shadows a lot, and they act in place of a primer for me. Current faves come from Bobbi Brown, Benefit, and Tarina Tanantino. I want to get a couple of the paint pots in the recent MAC Cham Pale release too – but it’s hard to justify when I have so many already.
I would love to buy the Urban Decay Naked pallet
i never use primer cuz i dont need it. my eyeshadow would stay for a week if i let it!!
I have to/need to make myself wake up earlier!
How do you balance between liking to go to bed extremely late and liking to wake up early?
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! It’s only 20 degrees out today, so I’m staying warm inside and watching some movies.
Where’s the snow we were promised here?
I’m taking a long, long break from makeup shopping to save up for a few spring items that I’ve been eyeing for awhile!
I see myself in the future being a 2nd grade teacher
As I type this, my toes are going numb from the cold… need to stick them in front of the heater! Anyhoo, I am super excited as I await for my Mickey Contractor haul to arrive in the mail!
cant wait for the snow!
I always wear a primer! Either UDPP, TFSI, or a paint pot. It’s a must!
I wear eyeshadow primer everyday, it is a necessity. If i don’t wear it my eyeshadows don’t stay on as long and aren’t as vibrant. My favorite primer lately has been my MAC Paint Pot in Painterly i loveee it. It covers all of my discoloration on my eyelids and redness.
In 5 years- probably back in the States, with a job in- I don’t know what! We’ll see!
I’m off to go to work now! thanks for this contest Karen!
Love Actually is my go-to of romantic comedies!
Wonderful giveaway 😀
It is FREEZING!!! Stay warm everybody!!
I wear e/s primer Mon-Fri so my eyeshadow stays put well into the end of my workday. Happy Saturday Karen!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen:) Stay warm!
I’m looking forward to all the spring colors!
It’s starting to snow again =(
Wore my new urban decay eyeshadow primer last night and it worked like a charm! 🙂
Too Faced eye primer has been a life saver for me!
Happy Saturday Karen!
i loved hugh grant in love actually! i’m thinking about watching some movies as well now that it snowed in philly and it’s too cold to be outside. have an awesome day!
Just had my first MAC haul…ever! Loving the brand so far!
Hi, I just started reading your blog and I love it! (yay, contests!)
Have you seen Hugh Grant in “About a Boy”? He still has that befuddled British charm, but it is one of the more insightful roles he’s done. It’s an absolute gem of a film!
I look forward to spring makeup looks, without fail, every year.
happy saturday!
I need a new eyeshadow primer… I use the e.l.f mineral one but my shadows still crease. I have very dry skin but really oily lids.
I’m going to a basketball game tonight. Should I flatiron my hair? I’m lazy.
UDPP is the best — but what I really want to splurge on, are false lashes. Loving the look, they make such a huge difference! 😉
I see myself in 5 years with a bachelor’s degree…not sure in what though!
I wish sephora had estee lauder. I want to try daywear plus sheer tint.
I have a Maltese named Butters (name after the character from South Park).
Does Sleepless in Seattle count as a romcom? Kind of old, but I never get tired of watching it! Also love The Wedding Planner. Great giveaway, thanks!
I’m looking at getting another new fragrance. It’s hard finding one that smells great in all their notes.
I just took a shower! Lol
Gift card — kaching!! Thanks for offer <3
Message about anything – Ha!
Have been sick for the past few days. Hope I win! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I ran across your blog because I am running out of BeneFit Bunny Hop and was looking to see what people thought of RSVP as a replacement. I’ve got birthday money to spend! 🙂
I am about to sneeze. Wait for it! Sneeze. I sneezed. Muahahaha. I love sneezing. Maybe it’s because my bedspread has a strawberry pattern. My old camp counselor was allergic to strawberries. But I like strawberries. And Sephora. And this blog. (:
thanks for the giveaway 🙂
It’s snowing here in NYC !!
I always wear eyeshadow primer, MAC Painterly Pot is the best for me!!!
Thanks, Karen!
Winter is in full force! BRRRR
I would say it’s a toss up between Harold and Maude, and Something Wild.
Audrey Hepburn Movies, Mad Men, and trolling Sephora on weekends are my favorite things!
I just saw Gulliver’s Travels and it was really cute!
I was down in the dumps big time this past month because I felt my novel was going nowhere. All I needed was a little self-confidence and motivation, but it seemed too hard to muster. Thankfully, through prayer and support from my awesome family, I feel amazing and ready to take on the world. This year I plan on finishing my novel and submitting it to an agent.
I’m heading back to college for my last semester! EEEK!
i’m slowly learning about twitter
When I’m feeling lazy with the makeup, I use only primer. Philosophy supernatural for the face and udpp on the eyes.
i love cats.
Long underwear is a Nebraska girl’s best friend!
I’ve always used UD primer but i think the next time I’m at Sephora i”m going to pick up the Too Faced shadow insurance, I don’t really love the UD primer packaging.
I prime it up, but I’ve still been kind of a mess lately. What’s a girl to do? Oh well. Thanks for the contest.
I’m soooo tireddddd. And I have a cold.
One of my favorite romantic comedies lately is Easy A!! LOVE Emma Stone. Thanks for this giveaway!
happy caturday
This isn’t exactly a traditional rom com but I love “Step Brother” with Will Farrell!
Today’s been kind of a crappy day so far, mostly because of what’s just happened in Arizona. :/
Just got a Mally TSV and it’s really great! A nice taupe creamy e/s stick, brow gel, mascara, a blush duo–one cream, one powder, eyeliner, gloss, brush & makeup bag for $50 scratch. Very nice!!
It’s really cold…and it might snow tomorrow
I am in love with Sephora!
Favorite romantic comedies:
The Lady Eve
The Palm Beach Story
His Girl Friday
The Philadelphia Story
I just woke up! Lol, had soju cocktails at this Korean restaurant and they are sooo good! Thanks for the giveaway!
I really need some eye liner. I lost all of mine.
Another gift card? Yay! Thanks Karen 🙂
i am surprised you didn’t have anything related to Mr. Reynolds in your planner lol i don’t have anything awesome planned in particular but just have myy friends sleeping over and we were supposed to bake peanut butter fudge but the marshmallow creme was nowhere to be found *sigh*
oh well..
I never wear primer. I might need it in the summer.
Thx. Karen 4 the giveaway! This would be my ticket to a new smokin’ hot lipstick or sexy perfume!
I’ve been hunting for an amazing mascara and I think I’ve finally found it – you should try Armani Eyes to Kill! It actually keeps my curl!!
I’m so glad it’s the weekend. I’ve been looking for the perfect nighttime moisturizer for me and I think I’ve finally found it. If only it wasn’t perfumed. I hate strong floral scents for moisturizer!
My favorite romantic comedy in a movie is Love Actually…so sweet! I adore it 🙂
My favorite theater romantic comedy is An Ideal Husband…witty and satisfying!
🙂
I always wear a primer. If I don’t my shadow creases in minutes. NARS’ is my favorite right now.
Just watched the Black Swan and loved it. Man i hope i win!
Thank you for doing this. <3<3<3
I’ve been watching Oddities on the Discovery Channel lately and I love it!
Love the site, you are so sweet to have give-aways. I’m visiting Sephora in 2 weeks (yeah!) so of course extra spending money would be fabulous.
It’s not a romantic comedy, but I never get tired of reading Pride & Prejudice, or of watching Colin Firth in the film version.
Have a great night.
The awesomeness of Tabs never fails to amaze me.
I just bought MAC’s Raizin blush today. I passed on all the new collections- Peacocky, Cham Pale and Mickey. I have to use what I have for now. Thanks for the contest!!
Netflix is a godsend, especially when you’re sick and stuck in bed.
I have hardly had time to do my make-up since having my 3rd baby!! This would be perfect to get back into it again!! 🙂
Hi Karen – another great giveaway! I seriously NEED a trip to my local Sephora, I’m out of all my faves! Thanks for the chance:)
what an awesome giveaway… I’ve never won anything before so maybe I’ll get lucky 🙂
Romantic comedy—27 dresses
I’m a total sucker for romantic comedies. Most eyelid primers tend to irritate my eyelids – I am extremely allergic to MAC paints and paint pots (boo hoo) so I just use a bit of foundation or concealer on my oily lids and watch things get wonky after a few hours. 🙁 Yay for Sephora gift card giveaways!
Went to Ulta today and bought my first Urban Decay product – Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Also bought Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Smoothing Serum…..hope it works good cause it sure was expensive!
Tweeted about your giveaway.

I LOVE MAC paint pots. I use them as primer and they hold all day. Chanel Glossimers are my go-to lipgloss. MAC blot powder is pretty amazing too. GOD I love makeup =).
Hi Karen! Have you seen the jumbo sizes of the purity cleanser and microdelivery exfoliating wash at Sephora? I wonder how long it would take to use those up…?
my favorite romatic comedy is definitely love actually! its the best movie ever!
I’ve had a super long day…had class and ran errands for a couple of hours…just got home
I love NARS!
I cannot wait for the hello kitty make up collection!
I took all of my Christmas decorations down today. I think there were more pine needles on my floor than on the tree itself! 😛
I only wear eyeshadow primer (UD) when I go out, but for everyday use or shorter days, I just use some concealer, doesn’t last as long obviously but still works well!
Today I have realized that I’m obsessed with my boyfriend. I broke down and cried when he was getting ready to leave to a paintball tournament for a few hours lol *embarrassed!
I use my Maybelline undereye corrector concealer as an eyelid primer, it makes my lids really smooth and covers up any darkness. I just bought a Revlon 3 barrel waver today and it caused a blackout in my entire house, so I’d like to win this so I can buy a different one.
Love the blog! 🙂 ♥ 🙂
ooo $50 at sephora would be so fun! what would I get hmmm..
I have plans to buy Bobbi Brown Concealer + corrector w/ the gift card!
I tried a peeling pack for the first time yesterday. It was hell to remove, but hey, super-soft skin after!
i LOVE 500 days of summer. you should see it, if you haven’t. and joseph gordon-levitt is fiiiiiiine!
I have to go on a makeup spending ban..seriously! This would be a great treat before I do that!
oh na na, what’s my name?
It’s too cold outside just want to go in bed
Yay, another Sephora giveaway! I love Sephora!
I don’t use primer specifically for eyes everyday but I use a concealer on my eyelids daily as a simple base!
Fantastic giveaway … wow! Thanks so much 🙂
I saw a cute cat the other day.
Four Weddings and Funeral is still my all time favorite romantic comedy. Hugh Grant in glasses and floppy hair. So cute. Swoon.
Still wearing and loving my Bobbi Brown Sultry eye palette from the 2010 Holiday Collection. Where would I be without MBB?
You are awesome for doing these giveaways!
Hi-I’m Bearsmama. And I’m a true beauty addict. 🙂
Yay!!!
I just started using Laura Mercier oil-free primer and tinted moisturizer in Caramel – it’s love!
What took me so long??
I love me some Lorac eyeshadow primer!!
Have you ever seen Amelie? Such a romantic and quirky movie! Oh, and I would love to be able to pick up some Benefit with a Sephora gift card. Can’t decide between Sugarbomb, Coralista, or Bella Bamba–they all look gorgeous!
Have a Blossom Sunday
Yesterday was my birthday yesterday, and I got Woodwinked eyeshadow from my older sister. I wanted it for so long because I always hear about it on Youtube and in Blogs but it just DOES NOT look good on me. I dont know how ot wear it properly… I think it might just be too gold ..// 🙁
As soon as I started typing every thought in my head just flew out lol!
best store ever 🙂
Yay giveaways! 😀 Today I baked my first cake of 2011…plan to decorate it with Disney colors (Mickey’s actually!) 🙂
I wish that I knew whether or not everything in my life will be alright in the end. Because I don’t really know anymore.
Live, Love, Laugh….Keep Smiling 🙂
i bought this big bag of gummy worms from cvs and they dont even taste good 🙁
I think I have 32 cents left on a Sephora gift card. I would love to have 50!
I just got a few thing from the MAC Cham pale collection, but the fludlines from Mickey contractor and glosses from Peacocky are so gorgeous! I really should stop reading your blog if I want to save up my money for my trip to Quebec. 😉
2011- So far, so good!
I would use this to feed my NARS addiction 🙂
I am studying Psychology in College and in 5 years I see myself with my Master’s degree. I love helping people.
I am studying Psychology in college and in 5 years I see myself with my Master’s degree and helping people. That is my passion.
I use eyeshadow primer most of the time (if not foundation and/or powder). I really like the one from Aromaleigh.
I literally had a dream last night about a NARS blush, and that wasn’t the first time. That’s how obsessed I am with makeup.
I <3 my Tarte eyeshadows

My fave romantic comedy is still: How to Lose a Guy in 10 days.
In 5 years, I see myself and my husband living in our dream home with another bundle of joy :P.

my favorite romantic comedy is probably “when harry met sally.” eye primer is a must since my lids are so oily 🙂
Can’t wait for UD naked palettes to be oficially in stores again..
ooh, if i won this, i’d buy dior addict lipcolor in spotlight lilac!
Never wear eyeshadow primer… as I rarely actually wear eyeshadow! I just don’t like the look of it on me.
I hate that I’m such a procrastinator. Just stating for the record. Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
I just made a beauty wishlist on my ipod – it was longer than expected 😉
I wear eyeshadow primer whenever I wear eyeshadow!
Not a big fan of udpp. Doesn’t keep my shadow from creasing.
I could definitely use that gc towards bobbi brown products!
I can’t wait for my next beauty splurge – the Buxom City Slickers set.
Mickey Blue Eyes, I loved that movie!!
And yes, I wear primer even when I don’t wear shadow because my lids are so oily v
I love the movie “Two Weeks Notice”
Oh man, I want to buy NARS Laguna with this.
I did my little sisters hair and make-up for a work event she had tonight. She looked beautiful and I would love the GC to try some new Sephora products… I’ve been eyeing up those MFE lipglosses you reviewed! 🙂
I am sooo exhausted tonight!!

Favorite Holiday Movie: Love Actually
I was in Sephora today and bought an eyelash curler, bi facil and angelika lip gloss! 🙂
I woke up lunch time and hurriedly eat – I was so hungry!
I just got my last purchase from Sephora in the mail yesterday. Always exciting to see the package on your doorstep. 🙂
I’m so glad to see you back on the blogs!
Hey-o!
I freaking love Sephora, and I want to try Benefit’s Bella Bamba, and find a tinted moisturizer…
Fingers crossed!
b
Sorry, I had misspelled my email address!
i regularly wear either eyeshadow primer or a cream shadow as a base!
I usually wear eyeshadow primer, if only because I have both UDPP and TFSI to get through, and when I skipped it yesterday I didn’t mind until I found horrible creases later! You bet I’ll be a daily user from now on. XD
i had nutella with bananas today – so satisfying!
Yay! 😀
I’m planning to go back to school this coming school year and take up accounting.
I haven’t bought anything from Sephora yet, but this eGift Card surely wouldn’t stop me from making my very first purchase 🙂
I am so happy I stumbled onto your blog while googling a make-up product mentioned on Give Good Face Top 10 of 2010. Thank you for posting photos of swatches. Your skin tone is very close to mine.
My old fav is the Thomas Crown Affair
I’m watching Return of the King with my brother, loving the Milani Holographic polish I’m wearing on my tips, and enjoying my last night in my beloved Bay Area before I go back to school. Hope everyone’s weekends are luvverly!
My husband is singing “I’ve got a lovely bunch of cocoanuts” while I’m trying to leave a comment. It is very distracting.
I am totally obsessed with the new Wet ‘n Wild palettes. So far I’ve only gotten my hands on the trios, but rest assured that I will get the 8-pans when they come out!
With the money I would like to buy my mom a nice gift…and get myself a good eyelash curler
I always wear too face shadow insurance underneath my eyeshadow!!!!..& I hope to win =)

In 5 years, I hope to have a full-time teaching job (subbing is great and all, but I would like to have some stability in my career) as well as had my first child with my soon-to-be husband! 😀
Whether I win or not it doesn’t really matter (although it would be nice)…but I should let you know that it’s so refreshing to see a fellow Filipina who loves and wear make-up to enhance her natural beauty NOT alter what was given…
i’ve never really like rose-scented products buy oh my gosh, crabtree and evelyn’s rosewater hand therapy is the bomb!! been sniffing my hands all day cuz it smells so fabulous
amazing! this would be perfect since i also got VIB at sephora!
Super sweet!
I always use eyeshadow primer–Urban Decay and I are in a committed relationship.
I can not wear eye shadow w/out some kind of base, my newest acquisition is NYX base in white!
I stay in India and its winter here ( just about 10 or below 10 degrees actually )

I use Lorac behind the scenes eye primer. It works fantastically for my oily lids. Thanks for all these wonderful giveaways!
Flying back East today eep!
I need a bigger diary! 2011 is going to be so busy! I love it!
I sometimes hide my beauty products, because they are expensive and I only want to use them for special occasions.. but when I need them I cannot seem to find them. It is soo frustrating!
Last week I started working in a new job so that is very exciting! I have bought some new makeup to look good on my job 😉
I finally got to order the Naked palette from Sephora! Waiting, waiting, waiting….
Got stuck in a traffic jam because of all the people that are returning home from their ski vacations.
I can’t decide between Estee Lauder’s Double Wear and Double Matte. With a $50 Sephora card, I can bypass the EL decision entirely!
This weekend is mostly about football.
Sephora is dangerous. Why do I have 9 different mascaras?
Ok, I can talk about movies all day long, so beware!
Romantic comedies, my top ten has Sandra Bullock written all over it but, While you were sleeping, Hope floats and The proposal are 3 of my favourites, and then French Kiss, Love Actually, The wedding date and a classic Pretty Woman!
Hy Karen, I’m so craving for some tangerines right now…
kiss
My sister and I are wearing matching manicures 😀
She looked at my nails and said: I want that too. So I did her nails 🙂
meow!
My fav romantic comedy is definitely Love, Actually. Such a Christmas staple!
I love your site because you also review drugstore products and cheaper alternatives. thank you 🙂
I love Sephora! I just received my latest purchase on Thursday — the Naked palette. Can’t wait to use the heck out of it.
Hoping in 5 years I’m living in the Pacific NW. Portland, here I come!
I love Sephora!
eyeshadow primer is a must!
yay! 🙂
Thanks for this giveaway. I NEED this!
I’m loving Loreal’s True Match foundation! It’s my new go-to drugstore foundation!
I love my NARS sheer glow foundation as my tinted moisturizer!!! its stays longer as a tinted moisturizer!!
I’d get the Naked Palette if it’s still available!
Goood moooorning! Lounging with the kitties then off to lunch with friends. What a great Sunday!
Iwnnawiniwannawin !
my favorite romantic comedies EVER are Love, Actually & Bridget Jones. Dunno, they both make my heart swell 🙂 (and both feature Hugh Grant!)
Oh Sephora! I got nothing but love for ya. And that post on fragrances that define your life has me itching for a new bottle of Dior Addict…
I’d like to get some guerlain goodies with this!
I love your website! I read it at work and always share info wih my co-workers. I am a 911 dispatcher and your blog rocks my socks.
BTW the best romantic movie: Love Actually!
SEPHORAAAA!
My husband and I have sent our Netflix queue through major upheaval lately, particularly with streaming. “Mickey Blue Eyes” was surprisingly good, and Jimmy Caan is one of my all-time favorite actors. Squeezing into the romcom category going back decades, I love “The Thin Man” with William Powell and Myrna Loy.
Was just in Sephora yesterday (the in-laws came to town and had to make a MOA run to the Microsoft store), and picked up more of the Korres white tea cleanser and lip butter. Love the Mango color.
thank you fo the chance! i love your blog

This pregnant mama could totally use $50 for some lotion. My belly is so itchy.
At htis moment, I’m enjoying the last hours of my Holiday…tomorrow back@work!
I love sephora 🙂
It’s only the second week of school (starting tomorrow) and I already have assignments due! But I’m gonna be good, and get it done today!
P.S. I decided to jump and try the ph-so-creamy eyeliners from Aerie.. not your typical makeup store yes, but they were just too pretty to resist.. and on sale. The purple is a beautiful eggplant purple that when on, looks like a metallic brown. <3
yeah prizes!
My, How generous you are!!!!
2011 beauty resolution: become a fake eyelashes master.
350+ days to go… How will it go??
I’ve been dying to try some MUFE HD foundation, the price tag is what is holding me back!
Have you seen the french film called Love me if you dare!! AMAZING!!
^^^ I’ll watch it thanks!
Wow… last night I was in DC for a friend’s birthday party. She rented a stretch hummer limo and it was wild. I hope you’re having a good weekend Karen!
Snowy Sunday in Canada 🙁 Have a good weekend !
I most absolutely does wear primer almost every time I wear eyeshadow. It takes a REALLY lazy/rushed morning for me to skip this step.
I hardly wear eye shadow primer!
ever since discovering tinted moisturizer this week, it has saved my life! i am currently using the korres one but would love to try other different versions
Ooh I want to get benefit’s Bella bamba!
I just signed up for my college classes. Hopefully I can pass them…
I totally remember seeing Mickey Blue Eyes back in the day! I think it was like a second or third date with my high school boyfriend.
Mmm, Sephora!
I really love Shu Uemura’s Mascara Basic!! =P It’s too bad they only sell it in one store here… and there isn’t even an official Canadian website that sells it
I tried using the Urban Decay Primer Potion, and even that creases on me! I do use it, but it’s mostly for blending purposes.
Karen, love these giveaways. Please count me in! I’d love to get a new Prada fragrance.
D: !!!!!!!!!
I want the MAC exxxhibitionist!
In five years, I hope to be out of debt and to be a mommy. We haven’t had any luck with the baby, but our day will come!
Just went for a nice long walk/run with the hubby! It was hard to get motivated, but now that I’ve done it, I feel so good!
I was just thinking about placing a Sephora order this week for skincare products. I’m almost out of my favorite Murad cleanser!
I love your blog! Thanks for all of the giveaways
I just watched Just Friends the other night I forgot how funny it was.
I definitely need this for the upcoming Hello Kitty collection. It’s so adorable!
I love your pictures of tabs!
want to wiiiiin!
favorite Romantic comedy *just might* be Kate and Leopold. SO CHEESY, but I love it. 🙂
I would love to use it to try out the Hourglass line. I use their primer, and it is amazing!!!
Love sephora, and would totally appreciate this card. Love you Karen! :))
I have a very long wishlist on Sephora’s website and this gift card would enable me to try out a few of those products that I’ve been eyeing!
I would love to win this (:
Great giveaway! I LOVE sephora!!
nice contest. I would love to try nars bad education
I’ve never watched Mickey Blue Eyes, can you believe it?? x
Have you tried the restaurant Ad Hoc in Napa? 🙂 It’s definitely a treat!
Ate a lot of chocolate today!
I am getting married this year! My fiance and I are about to watch the movie “Death at a Funeral”…
my daily makeup staples are tarte mascara (amazeballs), and benefit blush (bella bomba, coralista, or sugarbomb), and either sephora or nars lip gloss. this gift card would definitely fund my make-up obsession:)
I am madly in loved with Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer as a contour!
I resolved this year to save money, which means laying off makeup spending 😛
Gift cards would definitely help me out!
Every now and then I’ll use UDPP, but I find I still have problems with my eyeshadow migrating.
been watchin bridal plasty!
My holy grail eyeshadow primer is Too Face Shadow Insurance topped by a dab of Fyrinnae’s Pixie Epoxy – my mineral shadows (go indie!!) stay put all day, no sparkle fall-out, and it brings out the vibrancy of the pigments as well as showcases complex colours beautifully. However, I am in love with Makeup Forever’s Orange Aqua Cream for lips, that would be the first thing I would buy, though I must find some way to make it not dry up and settle into the cracks! Hmm…
i’m super hungry right now but i’m too cold and lazy to move and get some food.
Just hit up Sephora yesterday – walked out with Paco Rabanne’s Lady Million and NARS blush in Nico!
I always use a liquid concealer as an eyelid primer- it’s a 2 for 1 deal!
I would love to win. Sephora is the best.
Love the blog!
I wear eyeshadow primer EVERY day!!
I’m feeling a bit Hundred-Acre Woods myself. Need some sunshine to get rid of the gloom and doom!
I have a dog named Harry. He is cray cray.
My favorite romantic comedy is P.S I love you. =D
why do i like sheer, red lip glosses so much…? oh well. hope we all have a great week!
Woot! We are supposed to get snow here in Virginia on Tuesday – I am keeping my fingers crossed that the office will be closed so that I can catch up an all the blog posts I have missed lately. Hope you have a great week! 🙂
Just started reading your blog… I’m in love! <3
I use eyeshadow primer EVERY day. I never realized what a difference it could make. I work long hours (10-12) and I usually don’t have time to worry about whether or not my eyeshadow is creasing. Now thanks to Urban Decay primer potion….I don’t!
I would definitely use this towards Nars 🙂
So many ways to spend this at Sephora! TY!!
I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Naked Palette! It was a splurge for me. Now, I already have my eyes set on the Nars Lipgloss you just reviewed. Although the Dior Spring palette looks gorgeous too. I could definitely put that Sephora gift card to good use!
And my favorite romantic comedy is 13 going on 30.
I can’t live without eyeshadow primer now!
i use elf’s eyelid primer….i love it and just saw the movie little fockers the other day….im not a comedy kinda gal but that movie is hilarious…lol..i loved it
This would be perfect for my sad empty wallet!
Something smells good.
As a struggling makeup artist, I could really use this gift card to get products to review and use on my youtube tutorial channel that I’m hoping will help me get a scholarship to makeup school which I otherwise would not be able to afford. It would be a great, optimistic start to this year.
I always come to your blog to find out whats new and interesting out there in the beauty world!!!
I just found your blog today and it’s great!
Sephora is one of my favorite stores to shop, I desperately need a new moisturizing foundation.
Tweeted, I’m iowagirl301.
I am obsessed with gold lipgloss! =)
I have insomnia and found this giveaway at 1:12am EST…I’m also entering via twitter.
Great giveaway…and I use eyeshadow primer everyday…Love NARS Smudgeproof even though it’s expensive.
my birthday is in FOUR dayssss! *yay* hehe im finally turning 21 and hopefully, will be heading to vegas with my gfs in feb 😀 😀 😀
It’s FREEZING!!!
College starts again in a week..I’m excited but also nervous about all of the work :/
I need to update my Sephora account info! Today I had a hard time convincing a Sephora SA that my account was mine without my Beauty Insider card… told her my whole name (a very unique name that no one else shares) and she asked my zip code but I told her my home one when the account has my old dorm one… and I think my birthday was wrong because I never updated my birthday… finally offered to show her ID but she said that was ok… lol.
So sad I have to go back to school soon…
I love, love. LOVE your blog!! It’s my favorite one and I subscribe to quite a few!!
You are so warm, personable and funny!
I am also a Sephora junkie and giveaway is a fun treat!
OMG, Mickey Blue Eyes. The Hubs and I laughed so hard when Hugh was trying to imitate the “mob accent” that we thought we’d die. It was like Daffy Duck meets I-Don’t-Know-What, but we were rolling. We’ll always remember the movie for that part. 🙂
I love When Harry Met Sally and French Kiss. I’m not a huge fan of the rom-com, but those are two that I’ll watch over and over again.
I watched “the invention of lying” this weekend. it was more sappy than i thought it would be but it was pretty cute:)
It was released in 1999, which was back before Robert Pattinson stole Hugh Grant’s foppish hair,
BAWAHAHAHAHAHA.
Funny.
Just having a boring snowy day in Oklahoma.
my naked palette is supposedly coming on Wednesday!!! yayyy
My favorite soap is Young and The Restless.
Love to win this baby
My Favorite soap is Days of Our Lives
my birthday is friday!
I just discovered that I did not qualify for Sephora’s VIB status for 2011. Darn. So I would love to win this instead.
I can’t wait till the sephora hello kitty comes out instores!
I used to *HAVE* to watch “Sleepless in Seattle” every time it came on TV until I finally broke down and bought it on DVD.
Make up makes me happy.
I am going to the Mall of america in march and i am going to spend all my money on makeup !
When I sleep, I have to constantly flip over the pillow to the cool side. *sigh* LOVE the cool side. Not as much as Sephora though.
I see myself as a trusted and sought after make up artist five years from now.
my favorite store would have to be sephora 🙂
My favorite romantic movie is The Notebook.
