7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

January 31st, 2015 by Karen 370 Comments

Win a $50 Sephora e-gift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog
Win a $50 Sephora e-gift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog

It’s a beautiful day out Novato way! The sun is shining, and I don’t see a cloud in the sky. Does this mean I’ll be doing something outdoors today? Time will tell…

I hope you did something fun last night. We did end up seeing that movie, A Most Violent Year, and boy! — it makes New York look pretty rough in the ’70s and ’80s. Good movie. Jessica Chastain rocks.

In other news, are you ready for the Super Bowl tomorrow?? El Hub is handling our meal plan, which he’s EXTREMELY excited about, involving something he calls “a burger dog.”

I don’t know if anyone else calls them that, but it’s basically — and his eyes light up when he describes it — a hamburger in the shape of a hot dog, served on a hot dog bun.

I’m like, OK…but mine will be a veggie burger dog. 🙂 And we’ll have it with potato salad and chips.

Super Bowl! Katy Perry is doing the halftime show (along with Missy Elliott!), so that should be fun. Your nephew cat is also excited. From what I understand, he’s rooting for the Mill Valley Wildcats… Stay tuned for his pre-game analysis tomorrow.

Good luck in the giveaway, and have a great weekend. Do something fun.

    I shall be working during the Superbowl! (Not that I ever really watch it anyways – I’m more of a dance/gymnastics/hockey girl.)

    On average it takes me… 5-10 minutes to do my makeup, unless I’m in a mood and want to try something a little more experimental. Hopefully I’ll be trying out the new NARS spring collection on myself today – wish me luck!

Hubby is working out of town, but will be home Mon night YAY :). He was actually in Scottsdale/Phoenix setting up for his vendor at the Super Bowl last week! But he is working a festival in Idaho this weekend and not working the game, bummer. I will stop babbling now, “comment about anything” directions are bad for me lol. Thank you the giveaway love! 🙂

Wish I had all the time that I used to, but with a house full of people and animals, and a full-time job that starts at 7 am..it’s tough to find the time!

    It usually takes me about an hour to do my makeup – yikes! But that’s because I’m legally blind without my glasses (I can’t wear contacts) so my eye makeup is always really slow going.

    I’d say it only takes about 5-10min. to do my makeup during the week. Yes, I have a fireplace. I love veggies, but I definitely have to say I love fruits even more!!! Sunsets all the way, I’m not much of a morning person to be able to enjoy a sunrise :p. My favorite pants that aren’t jeans are my lululemon yoga pants!! Sooo comfy!!

    1. I assume you mean, during the work week, how long each day … about 40 minutes. 30 minutes if I’m hurried.
    2. My recent purchase from Costco, it’s so comfy! It’s furry on one side, and that uber soft material on the other.
    3. Nope. One day I will have a fireplace!
    4. I love both. If I had to choose, it would be vegetables, as they are healthier, and have little sugar. But fruits are obviously tastier 😉
    5. Sunsets! I’m never up for sunrise! LOL
    6. I wear Gap or Old Navy work out slacks/leggings. My fave! Jeans are very casual for me, I wear them only on the odd occasion.

    Hi!

    I love my summer weight silk duvet but stopped using it bc of the cats and furballs (seriously, it has to be dry cleaned every time).

    My make up routine is fast, lots of products, but fast. I am up and out the door to work with coffee & breakfast in about 25 minutes most days. I plan ahead and get everything ready 😉 I hate mornings.

    That being said, sunrise is about during my commute this time of year and is pink and orange against the snow, so I love it more in winter – especially when there is hoar frost on the trees. Nature’s way of making us stay here I guess.

    Do you have a fireplace or wood stove at home? fireplace with an iron stove added to it

    Fruit or vegetables? Fruit. Veggies are gross! haha

    Sunrises or sunsets? Sunset cause I’d never want to be awake for a sunrise.

    It takes me about 30 mins a day to put on skincare and makeup in the morning so 350 mins total. I live in the tropics, no fireplace or woodstove in our house and I don’t feel attached to any blanket because they’re sort of just there. I’m not a fan of both fruits and vegetables, but I force myself to eat them everyday. Sunrises are better because they’re the start of a brand new day! I hate all kinds of pants. I’m all about the skirts and dresses.

    It only takes me between 5 to 7 minutes to do my makeup on a daily basis; I moisturize as soon as I step out of the shower & then smooth on some BB, do my eyes then my powders & brush on my mascara very last thing. It’s a trick I learned when doing makeup for actors so that the mascara stays nice & black. On days when I use liquid eyeliner rather a pencil, it does take me a little longer!

    Fruits but veggies are more nutritious. Sunrises are refreshing but sunsets are captivating.We don’t have a fireplace but we had stoves before I could say somehow similar to a wood stove or a mini version of it. I’m from a tropical region, island to be exact although there are parts of the Philippines that have cold temperature particularly up north. Baguio,the country’s summer capital, has fireplaces.

    We have a fireplace, but it’s gas…

    It depends on the occasion or how much time I have to spend to put on my makeup. On just an average day, I’d say about 20 minutes or so. That’s just quick foundation, lite touch-up concealer, powder, quick eyeshadow, liner and mascara. If I have extra time or wanna look extra hot for my honey, it takes about 45 minutes to an hour! That includes contouring, blush & bronzer, smokey eyes, lashes, highlighting, the whole works! I always get compliments when I put in the extra work though. People look at me and can’t figure out quite what is different lol. I just don’t have the patience to do it everyday, nor do I think it’s necessary since I’m a stay at home mom.

    Best blanket? Wool one my MIL made

    Do you have a fireplace or wood stove at home? wood stove

    Fruit or vegetables? Tough choice veg tomatoes

    Sunrises or sunsets? sunrise

    Your favorite pair of pants that aren’t jeans? wooly tights for winter

    I like to answer all of these! 🙂

    On average, how long does it take you to do your makeup during the week?
    Anywhere from 10 minutes (if I rush) and 30minutes(if I take my time)

    Best blanket? My Son gave me a Pink and White Blanket for a gift two years ago, it is so soft and very lovely. Even my parrot loves to snuggle on this blanket..LOL

    Do you have a fireplace or wood stove at home?
    A fireplace, but it’s gas…An outdoor woodburner that heats the house and water.

    Fruit or vegetables?
    Fruit!!! But I am learning to love my veggies.

    Sunrises or sunsets?
    Both, what is not to love. 😀

    Your favorite pair of pants that aren’t jeans?
    Black slacks, comfortable and nice looking.

    If I’m in Veracruz (gulf of Mexico), sunrises but in other cases sunsets.

During the week when I’m running around & too busy to get all fancy I opt for BB cream, under eye concealer, blush, bronzer, brows (they’re thick but shaped very nicely so I fill them in lightly or just use a tinted brow gel), lipstick/lip gloss & mascara.

    Leggings over jeans.
    Sunsets over sunrises.

    It takes me about 45 minutes to do my makeup. Putting on false eyelashes adds about 15 minutes. I just can’t master putting those on!

    I have a fireplace…which always seems like such a big deal when I am looking for a place to live.

    However….I have yet to use it.

    Fruit! Pineapples are my favorite and you can never go wrong when it comes to adding them to other sweet treats. Add them to Vanilla ice cream and it instantly adds a kick!

    It use to take me 20-30 minutes to do my makeup if I wasn’t rushed and took my time. But I am not working outside the home any more therefore I don’t wear makeup everyday and haven’t noticed how long it takes me. On my rushed days I could do it in 10-15 minutes.

    I try to get ready within 45 minutes during the week but it usually goes to an hour especially if I decide to do a winged liner and maybe 1 hour and a half if I can’t get my liner to match so I take it off and reapply 🙂

    But anyway during the week my average makeup time is probably around 10 minutes but I haven’t timed it yet, I think I might tomorrow.

    Best blanket – my tiger blanket. Well, it was my hubby’s before I hijacked it – he got it when he was stationed in Korea before we got together, but he never uses it. It’s SO heavy.. It’s huge, made of really soft material.. probably about 5 lbs. in weight I’d guess, and I sleep with it every night! He’s always hot and I’m always cold so we don’t sleep under the same blanket haha. Weird, I know.
