DANGIT! SHOOT! DRAT! BLAST!
I’m so peeved right now… I lost another mechanical pencil. And not just any pencil. I lost my Pentel drafting pencil. My lucky drawing pencil, gah!
Where hath thou gone to, oh lucky pencil? Why art thou hiding from my firm embrace? Momma just wants to draw pictures of kitties and makeup… Is that so wrong? In the grand scheme of things, ’tis surely a noble cause.
In other news, welcome to the weekend! 🙂 I hope all is going well on your end of the keyboard. If a missing pencil is the worst part of my day, I’ll consider myself a very lucky gal.
Oh, I rented a movie last night that really surprised me. Something Borrowed? Have you seen it? It got a frighteningly low 14% on Rottentomatoes, but I don’t know what those critics were smoking because I thought it was much better than that. Sure, it’s probably not gonna win any Academy Awards or anything, but I thought it was one of the better rom-coms to come along in a while. Even El Hub enjoyed it, and that was after I’d talked him out of renting Captain America (so he was already a little salty).

I just lost my rosebud lip salve. I can’t find it anywhere! It’s frustrating to lose stuff.
Love give aways for “any country”, I’m in! Also, I’ll try to send you my October pic tomorrow:)
PS.Tabs is cutest cat I know:)
I just write with whatever’s handy! 🙂
I hate when I lose my favorite pen (fine tip, gel, black ink)! It’s a beautiful Fall day in Indianapolis today – sunny & in the 50’s. Makes me shiver to see all the snow falling out East. Winter is coming! Would love to win a Sephora gc, as I am due to update my makeup shades from summer to fall/winter…
I am slowly losing my sanity. Does that count?
Have retweeted the above message for a 2nd entry:

You’re so funny with your pencil story hahaha
The last eyeshadow I bought was the Tarte True Blood. I haven’t been brave enough to try all of them yet, though.
Giiiiiiiiirrrrrrllll I had one of the most scary/insane mornings! Yesterday, I drove to my hometown of Chula Vista for the weekend and I woke up to my grandma (with arthritis) kneeling on the floor of her bathroom and not being able to get up. I was doing all that I can to help her but I didn’t want to make the situation worse and make her struggle harder! Thank goodness my mom, aunt, and uncle are all nurses and are home right now because they were able to get the job done in less than a minute! Seriously, nurses are AMAZING! <3
Tabs really is a handsome cat. And I just came home from a Halloween party. I’m tired!
I totally sympathize with your distress over your Pentel pencil. I have a blue Pentel mechanical pencil that I inherited from my father when I was young. He used it when he was in college getting a degree in aerospace engineering, and I’ve always considered it my lucky pencil.
I always lose my keys and my cell phone!
It’s SNOWING in NY!! Well some heavy flakes sticking to trees and car tops, but it’s SNOW! in OCTOBER! lol
I always prefer pencil. I like being able to fix my mistakes.
Yeah it is suppose to snow in RI tomorrow! Ahck!! Snow for Thanksgiving is okay, NOT Halloween!
My favorite romantic comedy is 50 First Dates (Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. 🙂 a very unique story and definitely a feel good movie.
I’m obsessed with pens and always buy multiples of ones I love… Looking forward to a busy Halloween weekend!
Everytime I lose anything, I find it located in the most random places a few days later. My phone often ends up in the refrigerator 🙂
Have a Happy Halloween!
I have retweeted on Twitter!
Just in time for the friends and family sale.
The last eyeshadow I bought was haux. I haven’t used it yet but plan on playing with it today.
Just recently purchased When in Rome. Thought it might be cute but wasn’t expecting much. However, it was adorable!
I saw something borrowed 2x in the movie theaters! Huge fan of emily giffin books!
I just got two of the new Wet n’ Wild baked eye shadow palettes. I’m really excited to try them out!
Ive seen that movie! and i actually love it 🙂 it kinda had that typical story that you already know the ending to, but still is worth watching! 🙂 and 0.5 mm pencil? wow thats one fine pen! lol oh Hope you find it!
My favorite romantic comedy is probably Sleepless in Seattle, I have such a soft spot for it!
the last eyeshadow i purchased was mac’s famous satin taupe;)
romantic comedy? well the proposal was really funny
I’m a pen freak. I get all bent out of shape when one of my good pens goes missing. I know the feeling.
I know exactly what i would get with the gift card! The new Nars blush palette :-p
It’s snowing here, but I still went to Sephora, MAC and Ulta. =) I bought the MAC 214 brush, Ulta crease brush, and Japonesque Crease brush. I’m trying out different crease/pencil/short shader brushes for my lower lash line.
I guess the last eyeshadow I purchased is the Naked pallette… a few months ago haha
OMG I LOVVVVVE that mechanical pencil! I used to use it in my CE and AL exams…=DDD
I hope you find your pen!
I used to love writing with mechanical pencils, I refused to use anything else, but recently I have found the joys of using pens. 🙂
I’m finally going to see Contagion and Drive tonight!
Cant wait to wear my cat eye liner for a halloween party tonight!
I’m off to Japan for a week tomorrow!
hey Karen! I love using colored gel pens for my work- they make want to look at my boring class notes! (sometimes)
I actually preferred the book for something borrowed over the movie (which happens in most cases). & to pick a favourite romantic comedy is so hard!! I love all of them. Top three 1. best friends wedding 2.the proposal 3.The notebook (wait, is that considered romantic comedy? lol). Honourable mention: The wedding date! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Fingers crossed , i have huge sephora wishlist.
i hope you find your pen! when i was younger i went through a mechanical pencil collecting phase. have a happy halloween!
Happy Saturday!
I’m finally in love. 🙂
Can’t wait for Halloween!
In less than 3 weeks, I will be in Spain! Gah! So excited!!!!
The last eyeshadows I bought were Bobbi Brown shadows – a long-wear cream shadow in Malted, and 2 regular shadows in Sable and Black Blum (which I use wet for eyeliner). Nice boring-ish colors for everyday wear that compliments a nice bright red lipstick!
How awesome would this be?! Hope you and Tabs are having a great HalloWeekend!
My favourite actor of all time is Johnny Depp. I love all his movies….omg obsess 🙂
I thought Something Borrowed looked cute, but man I haaaaaaaaaaaaaated it. I think I took it too seriously though. Everyone was so mean to each other and I was like “Wow if my friends acted like that, I’d just move out of the state.” I think if I hadn’t pictured the scenarios playing out in real life, I would’ve had more fun with it though. Ginnifer Goodwin is so cute!
Haven’t bought any eyeshadow but hauled the China glaze metro collection.
Finally. 🙂
Come to think of it, no one has ever given me make up as a gift for my birthday or any other holiday 🙁
With all the pretties from MAC, I am dying to try the Icey looks!
My fav rom-com film is You’ve Got Mail.
I fell in love with a UniBall Kuru Toga. Funny too because I was not a mechanical pencil lover but I sure am now! Hope you find your favorite pencil.
I <3 my zebra mechanical pencil. I hope i win the giveaway!
fave rom com – Love, Actually 🙂
Pens are my favorite thing to write with!
I love the fact,thats it is snowing in NYC!!!!
I’m giving my little sister makeup as a gift for her birthday this Sunday.
I can’t wait to try to new MAC collection!
I love the Lorac palette that i just purchased from sephora!!!!
Can’t wait to try this Tarte blush I just got!
Karen posted the ryan gosling vs puppy tumbler i tweeted her about! yay!
I really like MAC’s lets skate paint pot and I plan to buy a back up!
I finally bought MAC Twig this week, and also watched one of the worst (Jonah Hex) and best (Thor) comic book movies I have seen in some time. The Man has Captain America in the queue next.
Chanel le bronze eye shadow…..it’s a sample that was sold in a discount beauty store. Great texture and brings out blue eyes really well. I am losing my patience with dumb ppl……cannot take it anymoreeeeeeeee!
My Favorite Rom Com Ever is probably Overboard… my mom had it on VHS way back in the day and my sister and I used to watch it all the time… now anytime i catch it on TV i have to watch it.
I got this new revlon nail polish and its so pretty 😛
Thank you for always giving these chances to win! I know I could use some holiday cheer from Sephora.
I just bought a wet n wild eyeshadow for 2 dollars!
I like to give makeup for little “just because” gifts. If i find a good deal on something and know that my friends or family would like it, Ill get it for them. Makeup is always a good pick me up.
i thiught “something borrowed” was better than the reviews too!
The last eyeshadow I bought was Urban Decay Naked Palette and I’m loving it! I got my eye on the Travel Size 24/7 eyeliner set in Electric too! I need Perversion and Junkie!
I lost my keys last night somewhere between the Halloween party and my apartment. It was a miracle my roommate was still awake to let me in at 3 in the morning!
I took advantage of the Sephora Friends and Family sale to purchase the Urban Decay Naked palette.
I haven’t the movie, but I did read the book a while back! I love rom coms though…will definitely have to see Something Borrowed at some point! 😀
I lost my favorite purple sharpie yesterday! There must be a black hole for writing implements that’s in overdrive right now. :p
I love watching centerstage!!
Chanel’s Noir/Ivoire eyeshadow duo from holiday looks so plain and unexciting in the pan, but it is actually so pretty when worn. Love it.
I LOVE pens. I always get so upset when I lose a good one! My favorite is definitely my fancy shmancy fountain pen. I love that I can make even little reminder notes look pretty!
My favorite writing implement is a bic ultimate green glittery pen that I stole from my boyfriend. I don’t know what I’m gonna do when it runs out of ink! lol
I hate I missed Family and Friends @Sephora! :o(
I’ve surprised myself by liking “Deadliest Warrior” on Spike TV. It’s gory, but exciting!
I usually prefer writing with a mechanical pencil or ball-point pen 😀
I love giveaways and actually just had one myself giving away an Urban decay prize package. I love when people appreciate the beauty of makeup.
I’m not sure about eyeshadow, but I picked up a new nail polishes last night! China Glaze Tinsel Town, Skyscraper, and Urban Night. Yay!
Finally ordered my Sephora F&F stuff! I got Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiant Touch, and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tube. My first time for all products!
AAAH I hate it when I lose my favorite pencil/pen. I’m one of those weird people who are super picky with their pens. I like a pen that’s smooth but not too smooth, inky but not too inky, and I like only certain shades of blue and black. HAHA I have problemz…
I’m about to do my F&F order but the NARS holiday collection is calling my name and I might need to get that soon, too.
I’ve completely indulged in online shopping this week – Sephora, Ulta, MAC! I’m terrible! But I’m telling myself it’s a reward for all my hard work at my job lately. I just can’t wait for the packages to get here!
Haha, I thought Something Borrowed was one of the worst movies I have ever seen! I only sat through it because someone else picked it and I was at their house!
my favorite romantic comedy is love actually. i just gave my bff a le metier de beaute silk road kaleidoscope for her bday. xx
Aww I love the last picture in your post.
I’m watching X-factor 🙂 xxx
My favorite romantic comedy movie is The Princess Bride.
I always really liked 10 Things I Hate About You!
I have actually never given anyone makeup as a gift. I just started getting into makeup last year. Makeup is personal to me…I wouldn’t want someone to pick out makeup for me. A giftcard to buy makeup other hand is great.* hint hint hint*
I almost never write with pencils. I prefer pens. But not black ink. Weird, huh? I hope you find your pencil!!
I love giveaways! I’m always trying to win something haha.
I’m dying to buy a ton of palettes this holiday season!
Two years ago I topped all the female Christmas gifts with a mini Smashbox lipgloss. You know I made it all pretty with bows and ribbons and tied the lipgloss to it. I bought a set and split it up and I thought it was a cute idea but I’m not sure if anyone but my mom really appreciated it!
What’s your favorite romantic comedy of all time?
Never Been Kissed, I thought it was a really cute movie.
What was the most surprising part of your week?
How about sucky part? Like getting a flat tire early in the morning & not being able to call a friend because it’s too early in the a.m. and then having to replace all 4 tires because the rest are pretty well worn on top of having a sucky work week? I knew I should have renewed my Triple A membership!
Sorry mini rant, now I feel better. Have a great weekend everyone.
Love to win for my wife
I’m more of a pen girl, but really I have problems with most writing implements because I’m a lefty. Until maybe a decade ago when pens with super-fast drying ink became available and cheap, I had a permanent stain on the side of my left hand from smudged ink.
And to me, the best romantic comedy ever is “When Harry Met Sally.” I love that no one in the movie has to change to find love, and the older couples at the beginning and end just melt my heart.
I started a diet/new way of life almost 3 weeks ago and have lost 9.2 lbs. I feel great! Tweeted @bobisyellow
#1 most favorite writing utensil: pilot better retractable ballpoint pen!
I’m always stealing (and then losing) my dad’s fountain pens. They’re lovely to write with… maybe I should buy one for myself.
I also love purple ink pens. Purple ink is my trademark.
My FAVORITE pens/pencils of all time are these Dr. Grip ones that I can only get in Japan. Whenever I go, I get about 20 and they’re about $10 each!!! They’re much better than the Dr. Grip brand in the U.S.
I have a favorite pen I write with. I get very upset when I can’t find it.
I don’t have a specific pen/pencil that’s my fav. just a type. I like black gel roller ball pens I like the rubber grip and the fact I don’t have to press to write which helps my bad wrists. 😀
Its SNOWING here in Philly….Your snow costume isnt funny mother nature! 🙁
I found the best pens when I was studying abroad in Vienna–they were just 3 euro Pilot pens but they were great and they don’t seem to be sold in the US :(. I stocked up before I came back but I’ve used them all up so now I have to settle for second best.
My fav are black gel pens! I love the ones that are clicks & have a grip 😉
I am going to buy guerlain foundation today !! Pretty excited hope it’s great stuff!!
Now this is a perfect fall day here in Tulsa, ok!
OH lawwwd don’t even get me started on my fave writing utensil! I love the zebra pen, Good old Bic Ultra round stic grip, and the old school Uniball pen of the 90’s in that light blue color. FAVESIES.
I had a dream about Tabs last night! He was being hilarious. Must’ve been looking at MBB way too late last night before bed. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m so tired because I went on an allnighter for work. 🙁
Can’t wait for Halloween!
My favorite writing utensil is definitely the Sharpie pen, the really thin ones that come in every color! I tried the Sharpie graphite pencils but they really disappointed me, sigh.
Ooooh I’m hosting my first ever Halloween party tomorrow! What are u planning to be?? My sis had sewed a max costume for me for the kid in where the wild things are. 🙂
I could watch The Wedding Singer every week. I guess it’s the 80s music lover in me that keeps me enjoying that romantic comedy over and over….
I love my Pilot 0.4 pens in pink and purple. yes. girly.
Hola,
Most exciting part of my week is that Vanderbilt is tied with Arkansas right now. College football always makes for fun Saturdays. Go Dores!
P.S. I would so love a Sephora gift card!
I love to write with my daughter’s magic markers! Today it is snowing/ sleeting/ raining in Delaware. It is October!!! Yuck! On a happier note, I am wearing Bottega Veneta perfume and love it!
Really random comment but I just wondered if anyone else has read the hunger games yet? I’ve just finished and thought it was brilliant! Karen I think you would really enjoy it! You should read it before the film comes out next year!
I wanna win!
In 5 years I will be married and hopefully not a contractor anymore!!!
Happy Saturday! 🙂 Putting that film on my “chick flicks to watch” list 😛
Hey Karen and Tabs!
In 5 years I see myself owning my own line of skincare. I have extremely big dreams and a passion for skin cancer awareness! Stay healthy and enjoy your weekend 😀
I really liked something borrowed! I thought it was going to be dumb, but it was a good movie for the girl who doesn’t always take risks or is the center of attention.
I don’t like really small fine tipped pens. They make my writing look crappy for some reason :-/
My local Target just put up a side aisle display of ELF holiday palettes and other makeup items so I grabbed a palette that had a good mix of warm and bright shadows for $5. Haven’t tried it yet but hope they’re pigmented enough. They’ve got some nice colors in the palette 🙂
My brother got me the Naked palette as a birthday gift a couple of weeks ago. Does that count? 🙂
LOVE your blog Karen, I hope you find your pencil!
can’t wait for Halloween, I love staying home and watching scary movies.
The last eyeshadow I purchased was Chanel Gris Exquise. I just love it. I wear it all the time; it’s so versatile. I can do a perfecr smokey eye with it or just use it in the crease with a pale color on the lid. It’s buttery soft and blends like the dickens. The best thing about it is that it doesn’t pull blue on me as most greys do.
The last eye shadow I bought was the Eyes to Kill Armani in # 11. The most surprising thing this weekend was breaking up with my boyfriend. Your blog always cheers me up.
I always lose my cell phone so far I have only lost one permanently, usually I find my cell phone, but sometimes it has taken a week locate it.
sorry you lost your favorite mechanical pencil– I hate when that happens!!
In college, I always had my trusty Zebra M-402 for all of my Econ finals (for luck). I lost it when I graduated, so I tried to buy another one for my first job out of school, only to find out Staples doesn’t sell them anymore!! #firstworldproblems
yay sephora! I don’t like romantic comedies. Sorry lol
The last eyeshadow I bought was Chanel’s blazing gold.
I took a picture with a 5-foot tall hot-pink stiletto statue in Vegas earlier this week. I love your site!
I hate writing with a pen…I’m all for mechanical pencils since I make too many mistakes and need to be able to erase them!
Last eyeshadow I bought was Nars Ondine in sept. Would love to win sephora card!
Yeah, I had a favorite mechanical pencil from Mars…but they don’t make it anymore! Bummer.
I love Pentel writing instruments! I have the same mechanical pencil and I’ve used it so much the metal tip always unscrews while I’m writing. I think I grip my pens too tightly or something. Pentel always gets rids of the pen & pencil models that I like so I try to stock up when I see them. My favorite pen is/was the Pentel Hybrid Gel Roller (in black, blue, red) but I think they discontinued them. I can only find the Hybrid Gel Rollers with the rubberized grips now (no likey) or just the refills for the pens 🙁
Oh, and my favorite romantic comedy is Moonstruck.
Fat Dr. Grip pens are my favorite.
I don’t have a lucky drafting pencil, but I’ve got a lucky pen. A certain brand, a certain color, now discontinued. Thankfully I stocked up on them a few years back, so I have some extras…but yeah. I’ve had those days where I had to find -=that pen=-! (Sure you can write a journal entry with any writing instrument; but…it isn’t the same. It’s just not.)
Last time I gave someone makeup as a gift: August 2011 (so two months ago)
Last eyeshadow I bought: the new Aromaleigh shadows
Favorite romantic comedy: I’m more of an ‘sociological science fiction’ person. I can’t remember the last romantic comedy I watched all the way through.
I have no idea where I’ll be in five years, but I hope I’ll be in my new house!
I lost my favorite Pentel too! =(
I love Southern California’s autumn cold nights!
I just received the new flyers from sephora so good luck to me.
I couldn’t find my red skinny belt anywhere =( and it would’ve gone perfectly with a costume I was wearing yesterday for a party…but I found a decent alternative in the end =)
I love romantic comedies! My favorite one is “He’s Just Not That Into You” 🙂
AHH I love Something Borrowed! I agree with you, I don’t know what the critics were thinking I loved it. You should definitely read the book if you liked the movie.
My fav romantic comedy has to be Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It’s so funny :D.
I am having a great week. Everything is looking up and my husband will be home for Christmas!
I treated myself to Chantecaille Rose Gold today. I plan to wear it all week long while on vacation!
its snowing and i’m trapped in my house 🙁
The last eye shadow I purchased was the BH Cosmetics 120 eye shadow palette! I’m going to have that thing FOREVER! Soooo many colors!
My favorite pens are the Pentel gels. I’m forever leaving them all over my classroom, so naturally they’re never in my desk drawer when I need to grade papers.
Can’t wait for the holidays coming up!!
I love my kitty, ham sandwich
ACTUALLY, I AM NOT FOND OF MECHANICAL PENCILS!! I LIKE DRAWING WITH A REGULAR OLD #2.. GREW UP DRAWING WITH THAT, AND OF ALL THE PENCILS I’VE TRIED I ALWAYS END UP BACK TO MY #2’S
my favorite romantic comedy is a Korean movie ”My sassy girl” 🙂
Today is the first snow fall of the season on the East Coast. Great weather to cozy up with a good book and hot chocolate 🙂
I love using real pencils (the kind you have to sharpen)!
I like .07 lead 🙂
I finally purchased the Urban Decay 15th anniversary eyeshadow palette! So excited for it to arrive!
It is snowing here in Virginia. It’s only October. kind of enjoying it 🙂
I loved the book “something borrowed” and the movie was nice, but I think I prefer the book.
In 5 years I will definitely not be working as a waitress.
I’ve always been about fine tipped pens over pencils, but lately I’ve been liking regular pencils (ones you have to sharpen) to write with due to a recent studying kick.
Oh I really love this competition. The last eyeshadow I bought was Omega by mac! A lot of girls wear this color on their brows. But I bought it so I could have a nude grey/beige look with bare skin… It really is the ultimate eyeshadow just to make your eyes pop during the weekdays when you don’t want a lot of makeup. + it’s a matte color!!
xoxo Love your blog
Apart from my obsession with makeup, I also have a painful obsession with pens. If you’re looking for a new lucky writing implement you should definitely check out jetpens.com 🙂
Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/tvIhQ0
i have to have certain pens for certain tasks and no other pens will do.
I love pentel pencils.
Missing warm southern california as winter has arrived in my area.
The last eye shadow I purchased was the Bobbi Brown Black Ruby Sparkle Palette and I am not sure about it. I might actually return it. It just does not seem to have any color pay off on my skin. I have seen other people wear it and you can see distinct colors. On my skin, the only color that shows up in the light purple shade in the bottom right. Everything else is just sparkle with no color. I am bummed about it because it looks great on other people!
Excited for Halloween party tonight
I love all the pencils from Staedler. Bought millions of them when I was living in Switzerland:)
BTW I am going to see Crazy Stupid Love in cinema tomorrow! So excited!!!!
I gave my mum a lipstick for her last birthday :).
I don’t really have a favorite pen/pencil, but I always love pens that have blue ink. My favorite romantic comedy is probably “Roman Holiday”. The last eye shadows I bought were from the MAC holiday collection, Snow Season and Frozen Blue Mineralize e/s.
I converted to writing in pen when I was taking a chemistry course over the summer. My professor said we should not write in pencil as scientists aren’t allowed to make mistakes. I’m afraid to invest in a good pen though, as I tend to lose things!
Thanks for the giveaway…love reading your blog and love your swatches of the makeup…gives me a better idea of the product before I make a purchase 🙂
I have to say, I loved Something Borrowed!
It’s snowing here and it is October. We will have a white Halloween.
I love pens, but I never get to use them because I’m a music major and we have to use pencil for all manuscript work
I am obsessed with pens and pencils and my favorite pen are the ones from Asia, but the ones that I use right now is uni-ball signo.
I want to see Puss in Boots! Is Tabs going?
Happy Halloween!
Urban decay is breaking me! Luv!
My favorite writing implements are Zebra mechanical pencils.
My last eyeshadow? Maybelline’s Grey Matters duo–I love it for fall and winter!
The last eyeshadow I bought was from sephora (it was the 20% off F&F, of course I had to splurge. I got two palettes: the Too Faced sweet dreams makeup collection and the Urban Decay rollergirl palette. I drooled over the swatches you put up of the rollergirl palette far too long for me to not get it!
http://twitter.com/#!/matamedeprazer/status/130392683742109697
I read the book, but I’d love to see the movie!
My favorite Rom Com would have to be “Notting Hill.” I just loved Hugh Grant (“Oopsy-daisy!”) in it and his nutty roommate, played by Rheys Ifans, stole the movie. Oh, and who could forget “Bridesmaids”? How freakin’ hysterical was Melissa McCarthy as Meghan?! Her driving that van full of puppies just killed me, LOL!!!
my dad used to have one of those – i would always steal it! lol. we are getting dumped on with snow here….yuk!
Last night my friend did some awesome makeup on me for an angel costume. Although, I’m not sure exactly how well it went with the actual costume.
Looking for a good matte grey eyeshadow to use for the crease. Any suggestions?
I love that movie!
At work I have to write with a “skinny sharpie”. My boss thinks its the weirdest thing but I just love the way it looks.
my stupid boyfriend canceled on me tonight and now i’ve got this costume and no place to wear it. boys are jerks.
My favorite movie of allll time is The Holiday. It’s a RomCom but there’s something about it that doesn’t make it quite as cheesy (in my opinion).
Favorite romantic comedy of all time, The Princess Bride!! 🙂
I’m very picky about my writing implements. I like pens (not pencils), and my favorite pen is the Uni-Ball Vision with a fine point.
I’m glad you liked the movie – I’ve been wanting to see it! The book is good too!
looking forward to the holidays. woo!!
I once had a Dr. take one of my nice cross pens. He returned it to my locker with a note in the voice of the pen– it was quite entertaining. I suppose it didn’t help that I called him at 3 am during one of my night shifts to remind him to return said beloved pen….
u like “love actually”
i bought Mac makeup for my neice who just turned 21.She loved it as they were all the latest colours
My favorite romantic comedy is Annie Hall – best movie ever!
so glad it is the weekend!
The last eyeshadows I bought were the two NARS shades that were on sale for 8 bux on Sephora.com!
Just visited a Sephora store in SF as I have a 20% coupon for friends and family and went crazy buying stuff. Gifts and skin care for myself. 🙂 If you have the friends and family coupon, it ends Nov 2nd so hurry!
My favorite pen is my Stabilo drawing pen that I use for cartooning. It is awesome!
I bought 3 tubes of a discontinued lipstick that I managed to track down, and LOST ONE. It was in my purse, now it’s GONE. Can’t find it anywhere. I feel your mechanical pencil PAIN!!
I am a fan of interchangeable multi-colored pens. But my go to pen is a Jet Stream. Luckily I have tons of free back-ups so I don’t dwell when I lose one.
Still chuffed that I did a real makeup “look” for my entry into the Breast Cancer Awareness giveaway. 🙂
aww, sucks that you lost your pencil! I remember the pain when I lost my favorite pencil 🙁 My favorite writing implement now is the calligraphy pen 🙂
My router is finally working
My favorite writing implement (a pen/pencil) would be anything with a fountain tip. I love dark rich ink!!! In addition I have good penmanship too!
My FAVORITE romantic comedy of all time is The Proposal. I LOVE SANDRA BULLOCK!!! SHE IS TOO FUNNY!
Where do you see yourself in five years?
This was a little difficult to think about, but I have to say that passion does not stop me from what i love doing and that’s Photography! I see myself with my own gallery/restaurant.
I love the movie Wimbledon!
I love using pens with a toy attached to a spring on the end – it drives my cat wild watching it bounce around! Makes my homework much more interesting :p
I didn’t really like the movie “Something Borrowed” just because I was such a HUGE fan of the books and the movie versions of books can NEVER compare (although some get quite close-like the Harry Potter series and LOTR series!!). I felt like the movie didn’t accurately portray the depth of the friendship between Darcy and Rachel-the way they were constantly competing their whole lives but truly loved each other like sisters. PS: If you can’t get enough Rachel and Dex, they make a cameo in Emily Giffin’s “Heart of the Matter”!!
Would love to pick up a few things for holiday looks!
I am dying to get my hands on Sephora’s “moonshadow baked palette in-the-nude.” Perfect colors for fall…and winter….and new years.
First off I just want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for your BLOG!! I look SO FORWARD to seeing your BEAUTIFUL face & TABS EVERYDAY!! You have totally INSPIRED ME To be MY BEST!! I am finally after putting it off, due to fear, health issues like a rare Thyroid disease I have called Hoshimotos & Diabeties & getting a Hysterectomy last OCT going to be starting my career In The Makeup Industry!! I really look up to YOU!! And appreciate all that you do each and everyday!! In 5 years I hope to be a WONDERFUL MASTER MAKEUP ARTIST & take my talent to helping sick people feel BEAUTIFUL on the inside & out by giving free makeovers!!

WORD on the mechanical pencils- I will never use a regular pencil again!
the last eyeshadow i bought is Benefit’s Fancey Pansey. 🙂
I looove writing in pen more than pencil. Especially gel pens 🙂 Reminds me of middle school haha.
I got black heels today and they’re just awesome.
Heart burn sucks.
It’s snowing right now. ahhhh!
Mosquitoes are everywhere here right now! I must have sweet blood, because they sure do love biting me 🙁
Love watching mindless romantic comedies, but i cannot believe you passed up Captain America! It’s a pretty good movie!:D
I want perfume that smells like chocolate, lime or oranges. Also-it’ s already Sunday where I live 🙂
I gave my friend some lip gloss for her birthday in august.

Love this movie also !

Love your blog!
Why I am I obsessed with foundation and eyeshadow, now? I want to buy want to buy every foundation in my shade or every new eyeshadow that is out there. It’s crazy.
I love that movie! I read the book and have respect for Ginnifer Goodwin (shes so cute!)
I’m in need of winter boots!
I’m illegally eating a cookie in the library =P
I have purchased any new beauty products in a longtime. I would really love $50 to spend at Sephora.
I recently bought Woodwinked e/s, and it’s absolutely lovely. It shows up very gold and almost orange on me, but it is still very flattering.
Meeting all my boys for sushi and sake tonight and I’m super excited! (Also, totally rockin’ the messy bun and smoky eye today – got both right on the first try!)
I am non stop listening to Bey’s Party song…lol
My hubby and I went on an awesome 5 mile hike this morning on the central coast of California. Such a beautiful day here! Good luck on finding your pencil! 😉
Thank you Karen for all of your wonderful info. I’ve learned so much at your site. Have been a long time lurker for probably three years. Thanks again!
I haven’t even touched a pencil since the last time I had to do a fill in the bubble test sheet in college.
Happy (almost) Halloween!
I love Pentel RSVP fine point pens in black. They are kinda hard to find and I’ve been known to tear apart the pen aisles in Staples and Office Depot looking for them. They are the only writing pen I use for both work and personal communications.
I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to Pretty Woman 😉
oddly enough, I lost 2 items in my car this week– an umbrella and a pencil case. Fortunately, both were recovered from the land of lost things (AKA the crazy crevices in between the seats). Taking advantage of the Friends & Family Sale this weekend– but I’m pretty sure I have a few more items on my list!
I am hoping we keep our power with this crazy snow storm.
I always buy makeup as gifts! (hahaha, it’s what I know best!) And the last eyeshadow I bought was the Too Faced Smokey Eye collection and it was for a gift! =)
The last makeup item I bought was a Sonia kashuk tinted mosturiser, and I really like it.
I just purchased Mac satin taupe!!
I just got the holiday Sephora catalog. Me wantee!!!!
the last eyeshadow i got was from lancome. its call “It” list and its a matte black eyeshadow nothing special 🙂
I had that in 0.7mm lead, but it either got lost or broke. I miss it.
I prefer pencil over pen 🙂
I love your blog your super talented & I love to watch your tutorials please do more. Really this month has been very depressing for our family. We have experienced one death & two elderly people are now fighting for their lives. I don’t really know what else to say besides please say some prayers for our family & friends. Thanks again and I look forward to all of your blogs
I had to switch from Firefox to Chrome recently…I am not a happy camper. Hmph.
I just bought For Effect and Let’s Skate paint pots from Glitter and Ice. Love ’em!
I am a stay at home mom of three and don’t have a lot of time for the Internet but I always read your blog. Keep up the good work!
I just purchased a few essence eyeshadows today! looking forward to trying them out.
WHYS IT SNOWING TODAY
Pentel’s EngerGel Ink pens are by far my FAVOURITE pens ever!!! Perfect for writing TONS without getting hand cramps!
The last eyeshadows I purchased were those 8 pan Wet n Wild palettes. I got them from Walgreens, surprisingly although they wont ship overseas they accept non-US credit cards. I got them sent to a friend in the US and they are currently on their way to me here. Excited!
The last eyeshadow I bought was Urban Decay Smog!
I don’t have any Sephora beauty products but there are several I want to try. Maybe, this will be my chance.
Romatic Comedies are my absolute favorite!! I love She’s the Man. Haha.
Hi Karen,
Just wanted to say that we have lots of snow here in NJ today. We never get snow in October. And the last eye shadow I purchased was MAC’s moleskin.
I loved ‘Something Borrowed’!
im a lefty, so i like a good black ink that doesnt smear. pencil always gets all over my hand !
I can’t believe it snowed all day in PA. Decided to watch Season 2 of Modern Family instead of checking out the new MAC line and buying some much needed facial moisturizer.
My favourite romcom is “Notting Hill”…I will always watch it when I see it on TV!
Thanks and happy weekend. Lisa
I’m following you on Twitter (LittleMama71) and have retweeted:
Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/tvIhQ0
Catching up with the DVR on a Saturday night with a glass of wine!
Recently I purchased a ton of stuff from Lush (mainly for the face) and it has been amazing! I’m always for natural products especially if somewhat affordable. I’m a happy camper 🙂 Snuggled up with a glass of Pino Grigio and my BB Seaweed Mask!
It is snowing in NY and I am stuck at home but enjoying the beautiful view outside! Thank you so much for the giveaway Karen! 🙂
i finally got to ULTA to use my 20% coupon… now i’m jonesing for some Sephora!
I have learned Friday my job is being outsourced. My last day is December 15th….Oh well..It is what it is…
just went to CVS to buy some makeup by i forgot my just bitten lip stain in my cart!!
It’s not my personal favorite so, it’s kind of a coincidence that I was using that very pencil yesterday! Maybe I stole it from you without realizing!
I love Sephora!
The last eyeshadow(s) that I purchased in the Urban Decay 15th anniversary palette.
Our high school drama club is putting on The Haunted Stage today and tomorrow and lots of ghoulish make-up and fake blood. Students are doing the make-up and it’s interesting to see what the come up with.
Fave rom com = Love Actually. <3
Thanks Karen for the wonderful giveaway!
My all time favorite romantic comedy is Sixteen Candles! How’s that for dating myself?!!??!!
The book “Something Borrowed” is so much better than the book.
Hey Karen,
Thanks for holding these contests and my comment for you is that I am hoping to buy the new Urban Decay Lush Lash mascara 🙂
I think my favourite rom-com is Love Actually.. but I like a new term I heard recently… “Zom-com!” (Zombie Comedy.)
Something Borrowed is a cute movie! Crazy critics.
i adore sanford uniball roller pens in micro (.5, .3 mm) for writing and sometimes drawing. i think those are my most favorite pens ever.
I love writing with a good pen
something borrowed looks promising! im a big fan of romantic comedies that give u a warm feel-good buzz after its over! putting it on my list of what to watch next.. thanks!
OMG, I WANT!
Japan has it down when it comes to writing/drawing instruments! Have you had that drafting pencil for a long time? I’m going to rent Something Borrowed now thanks to you. I read the book and thought it would be much more fitting as a movie!
I went to Sephora to buy new foundation…and walked out with two extra products! Ain’t that always the way?
I got Laura Mericer Oil-Free Foundation, Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF 15, and Urban Decay’s Super-saturated Lip Color in Crush.
I’d say I regret it, but all of them have ended up being too amazing for me to take back!
Ooooooo love John Krasinski. Away we go was a good surprise.
going to a ballet workshop today! 😀
Mechanical pencils are the only kind I’ll use. In other news, it’s snowing and howling outside…
I like blue pens
Finally watching DVR of Project Runway finale!
the last eyeshadow i bought was an eye tint from becca
its like two degrees out!
Need mo makeup!
It’s almost Halloween & I’m watching horror movies on TCM. I’m watching The Body Snatcher with Boris Karloff. Such a creepy movie! I’ve watched it many times.
makeupgirl21@comcast.net
Just purchased the MAC make it perfect brush kit in special edition. I’m excited to try it later! 🙂
Love your blog and E.T. is the most terrifying movie to me!! LOL
Zebra SE pens are quite possible one of my favorite simple pleasures in life!
I LOVE something borrowed! 🙂 my new fave romantic comedy! I’m glad my best friend made me watch it lol
My biggest surprise this week is that I get to spend my 1 year anniversary in a fabulous art deco hotel. I’m so excited. Did my nails a perfect vintage red to do with the theme. 🙂
I really want to get the sold out Nars blush palette at sephora!!
Love gel pens..uniball brand usually. Also im bummed abt all these lemmings you’ve created and my wallet can’t handle it! Lol
i’m so tired =_=
Bottle feeding and taking care of orphaned kittens is exhausting!
While I do not have a specific romantic comedy favorite, I do have a favorite romantic drama-The Story of Us. I have fallen in love with the movie and it never fails to make me cry.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Happy Early Halloween!!
I love giving Lush gift boxes or OCC lip tars as gifts, and my friends adore them! Gotta say I’d be happy to get either if it was my birthday 😉
I loved “When Harry Met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle.” Also loved “Fools Rush In”!!! I love romantic comedies!!!:-)
last eyeshadow: benefit creaseless creams in birthday suit
I only write with ball point pens..
I totally get what you mean!! I refuse to use wood pencils, I hat losing my mehanical ones….
Hmmm, debating on splurging on some perfumes….. thinking CK forbidden euphoria or Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Le Secret….
I love PaperMate Gel pen in 0.7 ! They are great and I have even converted people at work!
My Favorite romanitc comedies are The Best Man and The Wedding Date. But I love the Something Borrowed and Something Blue Books
I’ve liked a lot of the recent romcoms in theaters!
I prefer fountain pens.
Have a great week!
o0o0, I wanted to watch Something Borrowed (especially since there’s a badminton scene and I LOVE badminton!), so I’m happy to hear it was pretty good.
It’s cheesy, but I love “13 Going on 30”. I thought Jennifer Garner was so cute in that movie!
i love sephora!!!
Ohhh! I love that pencil too! in fact… I have so many of them lol
I’m actually more excited about a lipgloss I bought- Rimmel’s stay glossy in Yours Forever. It looks very similar in color to Dior’s Black Tie Plum, just without the shimmer. Since it cost me about $3 instead of $30, I’m willing to forgive the lack of shimmer.
Somehow I’m still longing for Black Tie Plum, though. I think it’s the idea of owning a luxury lipgloss… I’m so materialistic!
I currently have a blue gel pen that I’m particularly fond of, although my favourites change often, :). I’ve actually never given anyone makeup as a gift, because very few of my friends actually have an interest in makeup and I always figure they would appreciate other things more.
Omgoodness, I know exactly how you feel about losing your mechanical pencil! Losing a mechanical pencil, especially a favorite, makes me soo sad! 🙁 My personal favorite is Pentel’s twist-erase in 0.5 — gotta love fine point! 😀
My favorite romantic comedy is probably When Harry Met Sally, followed closely by While You Were Sleeping.
there’s no autumn in Canada apparently…spring, summer, then 6 months of winter…
I’ve never won a contest before =(
I have my everyday fav pen with me at all times, then I have whatever pens at home. My all time fav pen of all time is tucked away for special writings! Mechanical pencils I keep at home, I hate to lose them.
I watched Something Borrowed and I really didn’t like it!!! It was so unrealistic…
I’m sorry about the loss of your favorite pencil! 🙁 I would be devastated if I lost my favorite dark grey Dr. Grip mechanical pencil! I’ve had it for almost 7 years!
I love office supplies- paper, pencils, and pens- could spend hours shopping for them. My two favorite mechanical pencils (right now) are the Pentel Twist Erase 0.5 and the Papermate Titanium. Also in 0.5. I really love my Rapidograph too.
I read the book Something Borrowed and watched the movie as well! 🙂
i got some bonus brownie points to hanging out with the future in-laws…yes! hehe
I saw this film – nice and sweet.
Yesterday afternoon, I gave two mascaras and a lotion to my sisters in law and mother in law. sharing beauty to love ones.
HY! I thought about your question that when did i give make-up as a gift….NEVER…and i thought why…and the answer is sad:( the people that i am surrounded with aren’t using make- up as i am….and it’s making me sad because make-up enhances beauty, and gives grace, and charm to women:) But i share my stuff with my mom and it’s such a great feeling!!!
Lovely giveaway,thank you!xoxo
The last eyeshadow I bought is MAC’s Aquadisiac, and it’s freakin’tastic!!!!!
aww, i wanna see that movie too! tabbs is cute in that pic 😀
Sorry you lost your lucky pencil. I feel your pain since I too become very attached to my favorite pens and pencils. Enjoy your mild California weekend!
The first one that actually came to mind was the Wedding Singer. I know it’s a silly movie, but I love it and could watch it over and over again ^_^
Could you call a Woody Allen movie a romcon? My favorite of his is “Hanna and her Sisters” I adooore that film!!
Last night we went to see “the Ides of March”. Just when I thought I couldn’t love Ryan Gosling any more than I do..Hoo.Boy! Yummeh 🙂
Loving all the spooky specials on TV for Halloween!
Best romantic movies “A Walk in the Clouds” & “Serendipity”
I’ve seen Something Borrowed in the theaters. 🙂 Wouldn’t really give it a 14% rating but I didn’t exactly enjoy it either.
I thoroughly enjoyed Something Borrowed. However, I think I will always love the book more. I am definitely a book > movies gal. â¤
I can’t remember the last time I bought an eyeshadow! I think I have too much so I try to stop! lol
I thought the same thing when I saw that movie. It wasn’t super fantastic, but I thought it was pretty decent for a romcom. Did not understand all of the negative reviews. Oh and let your husband watch Captain America, it’s really fun!!
Away for the weekend for our 5 year anniversary. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway!
I love Sephora!
I am planning on gifting nail polishes and a Konad stamping kit to my sister for Xmas 😀
My favourite chick flick is definitely Love Actually! It’s like 8 chick flicks in one! I watch it every Christmas with my mom 🙂
I can’t believe it’s already snowed twice and we stil have leaves on the trees- green leaves at that.
I thought Something Borrowed was pretty good, too! 🙂
Do you have a favorite writing implement (a pen/pencil)?
I have a ballpoint pen from Planet Fitness that I use all the time just because it has purple ink. 🙂
What’s your favorite romantic comedy of all time?
The first one that comes to mind is “Knocked Up”.
What was the most surprising part of your week?
The six inches of SNOW that we got last night!
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hopefully with at least one child, in our first house.
What was the last eyeshadow you purchased?
NYX Haute Look 10 color palette (i didn’t like it).
When was the last time you gave someone makeup as a gift?
Last Christmas; I gave my two best girlfriends some nail polishes.
Just discovered your amazing site- already subscribed to your feed!
I can’t believe how much snow we got here on the east coast!
It was surprising to hear about the big snowstorm in the northeast!
Love your reviews on make-up! I love mascara but have trouble finding the perfect one that doesn’t ultimately flake into my sensitive eyeballs . . uhgg. But I’m a trooper and will keep looking for the perfect one for me. By the way, fav romantic comedy is Serendiipity (although the only laugh parts are from Miss Molly Shannon),
I use a black gel pen every day at work!

Up too early on a sleep in sunday
A $50 gift card to Sephora, Wow!! Thanks Karen!!
Maybe Tabs took your pencil…if I can’t find something, I scour the floor, since my three kittens love knocking stuff off counters so they can flip my things about and play with them!
I loooove pencils but in school I don’t get a chance to use them.
I adore the movie love actually!
I have a pen I carry everywhere, it holds the little post it flags inside it for marking pages to remember to go back to….amazing! Thanks for the contet!
Looking through the new sephora catalog! One of everything PLEASE!:)
I’m generally not a romantic comedy kind of girl, but I could watch the Princess Bride all day long. Thanks for the giveaway!
Lovin the Chanel holiday collection, beautiful!! 🙂
I just went through 15 hours without power thanks to the snow!
Read in Sun paper – you can get a free Bare Minerals eye liner in one of 2 colors at a local free standing store before Tues
All of my pencils somehow get sucked into a black hole of oblivion. that’s why I have to buy hundreds of them a year. oh, and also, I love Love LOVE sephora!!
you should try those sharpie pens, my new favorite!
I am so glad its the weekend. That’s pretty much it!
I just bought the new wet and wild matte eyeshadow palette this morning!
I DO have a favorite writing implement! haha. It’s the Pilot G2 gel ink rollerball. They never fail me and they have really nice, smooth, very black ink.
And in makeup related news, I just tried one of the new Revlon Colorburst lip balms and loved it. Very pigmented!
since entering college, i no longer use mechanical pencils. but beauty-wise, i’ve been thinking about trying the shiseido serum! have you ever tried shiseido products?
maybe if i dont win the bca contest, i can win this!
I bought two packs of two pens from the dollar store a year ago. They were felt tipped black pens that were absolutely a DREAM to use but then some of my classmates borrowed it and lost it. I’m down to one or two pens and the dollar store stopped selling them so I know how you feel.
Hi Karen!
I hope you spend a very nice weekend and a happy Halloween Day!
Cheers from Italy
Sara
I’m really happy because I finally found the boots of my dreams. Yey!
I’m almost done all of my midterms!
I gave my little sister some of my unused makeup (a Stila smudge pot, a UD eyeliner, etc). She was pretty excited to have some high-end makeup!
My Saturday was chill and relaxing :). I hung out with a friend and it was tons of fun 😀
I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time this weekend! It was absolutely amazing and very much surprising 😀
I prefer pens to pencils, even for the Sunday crossword, but they need to have colored ink – not black! I want the words to stand out against the blah newspaper ink. Ball point is best for puzzles, but felt tip is better for marking up packages (like when I bought a box of pasta – makes sure things get rotated right. I ahve WAY too many pens on my desk right now because I want the right one for each particular application.
Oh yeah – I tweeted too. http://twitter.com/#!/kittylitter1/status/130692290468524033
I really liked that movie. I thought it was cute 🙂
I couldn’t live without a mechanical pencil — particularly for my calendar. It seems like my calendar changes constantly so I need to be able to erase. But, I have to have a sharp point so I don’t like regularly pencils. It’s funny how we get so particular about things
i prefer a pen
One more week and I’m off to Hawaiiiiiiiiiiii!
Just had a cup of yummy Vanilla Chai. I love Sunday mornings.
My favorite romantic comedy of all time is “An American in Paris” with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. Watch it if you can find it. Love the wacky, weird artsy scene towards the end where they dance to famous paintings.
Karen, I like your hair up in the photo.
You made me wanna watch this movie ! 😀
I love something borrowed!
I’ve seen Something Borrowed and gotta say….it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
i did not know tomorrow id be walking around in a winter wonderland for halloween. so much snow here in nj
Favorite romantic comedy would be You’ve Got Mail. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan? Can’t go wrong!
I just purchased both Bare Minerals READY 8.0 palettes. I can’t wait to try them out. Now I have to decide which to wear first!
Happy Halloween!
I prefer pens, even when i should be using a pencil ; )
I can’t stand wood pencils!!! I love mechanical pencils the are best next to ball point pens!!!
yes please!:D
I bought the new I heart matte palette! I’ve been enjoying mixing neutral and bright colors together lately 🙂
My most surprising moment of the week was my Dad being nice to and okay to my friends. I see myself with a bachelor’s degree and a nursing degree in five years.
My favorite romantic comedy is Two Weeks Notice.
Taking a break this afternoon from applying for law schools to shop for some makeup. I should seriously get back to work, ugh.
i’d love this! happy fall 🙂
I’m drooling over Rae Morris’ impending brush line.
I dressed up as a flapper for Halloween festivities this weekend and I loved it!
I have a cold, and really want to go to bed. But it’s only 5:40 in the evening and I have a meeting at 8 🙁
this would be great, shopping at sephora always cheers me up and i need that 🙁
My favorite romantic comedy is the Princess Bride. Its a lovely love story of Wesley and Buttercup!
I hope tomorrow is a better day than today
I am a pen addict, or so does my husband and friends say. I think I am just a pen collection-ist, ; ) I can’t live or go to work without my Pilot Dr. Grip Pen in Hot Pink. I even purchased refills for it. Its just my favorite!! 😀
My favorite pen:
Pilot Precise (any thickness).
Yuck! I’m on the East Coast & we just got hit with a snow storm. About 3 months ago some girl ran a stop sign, totaled my car & I sprained my wrist, & I have been out of work since. Today I thought I would be a good girlfriend and help shovel all that yucky, cold, wet, white stuff on the ground. Now my wrist is sore 🙁 Sorry, just needed to vent…
i have a favorite pencil too!!! mines a pentel graph gear. ive had it for a year now and its the only pencil i use!
i prefer pencils over pens
I’ve been plotting giving makeup as Christmas gifts this year. 😀
My favorite romantic comedy of all time would be The Notebook! =]
I got to shovel snow today. a lot of it. My daughter is going to be a bunny (seriously, like the Easter bunny at the mall) for Halloween, and its going to be 34 degrees:(
Planning to get my sister-in-law the Naked Palette for Christmas because she’s been wanting it for awhile.. Hope she loves it as much as I love mine!
I snagged two of MAC’s MES from Glitter and Ice I LOVE THEM! Thought they would be completely overpriced but after trying them in-store I fell in love. Damn them! *shakes fist*
I’m sure I’ll win one of these one day 🙂
Almost done with my x-mas shopping…this would be a nice treat for myself!!
I love ink pens!!
Pens all the way! Blue rollerball, ideally.
I just purchased a replacement of Urban Decay’s Sellout, as it’s the one shade I run through the quickest, and end up buying over and over.
I love my G2 pen, my handwriting looks so nice when I write with it!
I used to be obsessed with mechanical,pencils!!!!! I used to want them for my birthday gifts hahaha
I love my mechanical pencils!
I went to Sephora today, to exchange mascara, and I got a free sample of TFSI!
Ah, such a nice giveaway! I could purchase some nice Sephora Christmas presents!
Happy Halloween 🙂
I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to Pretty Woman
I love mechanical pencils! I also hope that Sherrie (above in the comments) finds a new job soon!
Fave romantic comedy is Runaway Bride!
The best part of my week was getting a compliment on my perfume from a cute new guy at work 🙂
I just got my mom some quads for natural looks and a smoky eye set from sonic kashuk.. 42 yrs old and I’m teaching her ! XD
I just got my mom some quads for natural looks and a smoky eye set from sonia kashuk.. 42 yrs old and I’m teaching her ! XD
Happy Halloween !
Ah! Let’s see if I can make a sign for breast cancer awareness by tomorrow! Ha. Tweeted too.
I just attended my first auction ever today…between fabulous furniture, fine art, bronze statues, heirloom rugs & stained glass lamps, I forced myself to sit on my hands so I wouldn’t mistakenly bid on something I can’t afford!
just got back from my first vegas trip, i need a pedicure asap!
I see myself traveling in 5 or less years.
I spent the weekend in New Orleans to celebrate Halloween and had a BLAST!!!
i am compulsive about writing with only black ink pens.
One of my favorite romantic comedies is “The Philadelphia Story” – the wit and class of the oldies can’t be beat! But for modern day, I will go with “You’ve Got Mail”. It is so sweet and charming and puts me in the mood for the holidays and dreams of romantic adventures with great men like Tom Hanks!
I rarely ever use a pen as I’m not much of a sketcher/artist. I do prefer a black pen over blue though 🙂 Great giveaway as per usual.
I love Halloween! Also, i am terrible at drawing.
I am obsessively territorial about my “good” pens at work. You know the kind, smooth writing and the kind of heft to it that makes it feel substantial. I hate losing them; I feel for you!
Favorite writing utensil: pencil.
I absolutely love Benefit, Urban Decay, and Too Faced. Benefit has really practical palettes, like for concealing or shadows. Urban Decay has awesome names, like Baked, and I love their new Book of Shadows IV, and also their Naked palette. I also love the packaging of Too Faced products, and also the quanity you get in each palette.
I watched Captain America two nights ago and really liked it! Then again, I’m kind of a comic book nerd.
I just watched Risky Business for the first time and boy was I surprised it was about hookers. lol and also I’m entering at 12:18am eastern time, so hopefully I made the cut!
what color lip sticks are you loving for winter?
I have that Pumped Up Kicks song STUCK in my head.
Hola, kittehs and hoomans! Treat or Treat, no tricks please!
I Love Sephora!!
KITTEHS are number 1 in the universe. All must know this.
Hello there!
I recently bought a 5-pack of sharpies (fine point) lol
I know “RottenTomatoes” is known for its movie reviews, but I can totally relate when I’ve searched a movie I like only to find that it has one of the lowest rates ever. It makes me reconsider every other rating the website has and I’m more open-minded about finding new movies to watch!
am i too late? 🙂
