Upcoming Makeup Events – The American Beauty Tour Launch in San Francisco, July 22, 2007

July 18th, 2007 by Karen Leave a Comment

What will you be doing on this coming Sunday, July 22nd? I must really love makeup because I’m skipping sleeping in on Sunday so that I can get up early and haul my cookies across the Golden Gate Bridge to attend the launch of The American Beauty Tour in San Francisco.

This two-hour seminar at the W Hotel in S.F. will feature pro-techniques and tips from celebrity makeup artist Billy B. He’s worked in the makeup industry for over twenty years and his clients include Beyonce, Pink, Mary J. Blige and The Dixie Chicks.

I hope to see a few Makeup and Beauty Blog readers there! Come up and say hi!

MAC – Eve C Shocks – SO HOT!

June 25th, 2007 by Karen 4 Comments

I am the first person to admit that I am very color-shy when it comes to makeup, so when MAC’s C Shock came out I wasn’t too into it. Although I really still can’t see these colors on myself, I am going to officially change my tune. I went to the website today and saw these superhot pics of Eve rockin’ the C Shock collection. Surprisingly, my fave looks were the ones with bright green and blue eyeshadow, lol. Love it!

Makeup and Beauty Blog’s Sunscreen 101 – What you need to know before you buy sunscreen

June 25th, 2007 by Karen 3 Comments

beach-essentials
Here’s my mental run through before I head to the beach: Flip-flops? Check. Cute bikini? Check. Cowboy hat? Check. Sunscreen? CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!

While many people associate sunscreen as something that you only use during the summer months, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 every day of the year. I am proud to say that I’m a year-round sunscreen girl, a sunscreen connoisseur of sorts! [Continue reading…]

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale for Women & Children Starts Tomorrow, June 6

June 5th, 2007 by Karen 2 Comments

nordstom-half-annual-shoe-sale

Set your alarm clocks, ya’ll! Tomorrow is the Half Yearly Sale for Women & Children at Nordstrom in Corte Madera. This is a great time to get shoes on sale. Last year I was lucky enough to buy the last pair of wedge heel black suede Via Spiga shoes on sale. YES.

The sale starts at 7:00 a.m. (wowza!).

I like to wear flip flops so I can easily try shoes I pull from the sale rack. And remember: women (plus) shoe sale (equals) mayhem so don’t be ashamed about elbowing the b*tches who try to get up in your grill. You better snatch those sandals before the next woman does, girl!
