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

January 18th, 2014 by Karen 471 Comments

A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

A Makeup and Beauty Blog Sephora giveaway!

Mornin’, babe. How’s it going this morning? Happy Caturday. 🙂

Purr usual for me when we meet like this, I’m a sleepy sheepy. I may have mentioned this before, but, as much as I’d like to be, I am not a morning person. My wheels don’t start turning until 10 a.m. or so, depending on how much caffeine I’ve had… Before 10, I just fake it till I make it.

Do anything fun last night? I finally finished watching Breaking Bad (well, through the fifth season) on Netflix. I think there’s still one season left, but it’s not on Netflix yet. I’m fine waiting, though, because, truth be told, I’m a little burnt out on the show. I need a break from Breaking Bad. It only took 50-something episodes in two months, LOL.

Your nephew is…actually, I have no idea where he is right now. He was very naughty last night. He kept grumbling and scratching at the carpet on the stairs, which he’s already pretty much torn to shreds. He gets very fussy and misbehaves when anything interferes with his routines.

He has very strict routines, you see, like, he needs at least 10-15 minutes of high-intensity lurvies first thing every morning and last thing every night. If for any reason he doesn’t get one or the other, he acts out, like by clawing at the stairs in the middle of the night. It’s his way of throwing a temper tantrum.

“Where’s my lurvies, dammit?! Woman, I need my lurvies! Heads are gonna roll, b*tches! You will pay for this insolence!!”

Haha! Seriously, that’s how it is. He turns into a very fussy tabby.

Oh, well. He’ll be fine. Now let’s talk about giveaways, shall we? This weekend’s starts right meow.

I picked up a sampler pack of Shu Uemura facewash oils, MUFE cream eye shadow in a beautiful rose shimmer (#16) (this was the consolation prize for not getting the whole Naked 3 palate). When I got home I also got one of the new Dior lippies from the Trianon collection and a lip balm from Jack Black.

    What was your last, best beauty purchase? The Josie Maran Escape to Morocco Hair and Body Beautifiers set. It had travel sized versions of some great stuff, including the cleanser (which I use every day), hand creme, body butter, hair serum, the 100% argan oil, and face lotion. Super awesome deal if you ask me, full of products which work great, smell great, and directly support women in African nations. My last great buy from the drugstore was the Maybelline master duo liquid eyeliner. It’s surprisingly great- doesn’t budge or flake and has the ability to go on skinny or thick.

    Do you wear a watch? – sometimes but not regularly
    How do you feel about hats? – I like hats but they dont like me…I have really curly hair so unless I straighten it I look like a frizzball if I wear a hat and have to take it off for any reason. I make 2 exceptions…sporting events and fishing. 🙂
    Do you knit or crochet? – my grandma taught me how to do some basic crochet but she is far better at it than I could ever hope to be. She made a few of my baby outfits and an adorable jacket for me when I was little!

I got it from boots in the UK over the christmas holidays and it’s just excellent! i have open pores and acne scars but it really did help “resurface” my skin. wish i’d stocked up cos i like in kuala lumpur and we dont have it. i’m getting married in june and i’m worried i’ll run out by then lol! if anyone can get their hands on it, you should try it. thanks karen for being the friendliest of all neighbourhood beauty addicts and opening this contest internationally! muah muah muah!

    Hello to all and Tabs~ Oh there is a youtuber (amodelrecommends) who has a really lovely british shorthair cat named Mr Bear and he is really chubby as well 🙂

    Recent beauty purchase- Tony Moly CC cream, the sales associate fitted me to the lighter of two shades and the interesting thing about the cc cream is that it starts off as white and then adjusts to your skin tone. I tan easily and also de-tan (is there such a word) easily so it really helps to not buy multiple shades of the same product. I live in asia (hence tony moly is accessible to me) and have acne prone skin, korean brands really do suit me ^^ say hi to Tabs!

    I hardly ever wear a watch anymore. There is one I have that I wear more as an accessory. It’s a white XO watch with crystals on the bevel. It doesn’t even work anymore but I love the feel & look of it with certain outfits. Ha ha!

    I love your blog and have been coveting soo much make up since I started reading your blog! Being from Canada, my Holt Renfrew doesn’t carry Tom Ford make up so my first activity when we arrived in Tampa over our holidays was to go to Neiman Marcus! O.M.G is all I could say! My intention was to only test them out and purchase 1 or 2 Tom Ford Private Blend lipsticks but they had the beautiful box for 12 that was empty and said I could select any 12!!! I had seen pics of the pre-made box of 12 online and had drooled over it but I lost all my will power when they said that!

    I was there for 3 hours (with my BF patiently waiting and going to buy us and all of the sales associates Starbucks) testing and selecting the colours I wanted! The SAs were soo helpful and patient with me! Apparently, I’m the first to purchase a set of 12 from Neiman’s. LOL

    I selected:
    Sable Smoke, Spanish Pink, Pink Dusk, Indian Rose, Casabanca, Flamingo, Violet Fatale, True Coral, Wild Ginger, Cherry Lush, Crimson Noir, Bruised Plum!

    These are now my favourite lipsticks! Didn’t get any of the Tom Ford lip shines but they were pretty darn nice too!

    I was also fortunate to receive twelve 4ml samples of Tom Ford Fragrances that I wanted to test!

    Haha, I love these comment suggestions of yours!

    The most exciting thing I did this week was… Uhm.. Is it embarassing to choose that really spooky Doctor Who episode I just watched? When it comes to Disneyland I’ve never been there, but I assume I would be all over the dressed up character trying to hug them (I hugged Moomin once, omg he was soft!!), and I wear a watch when I remember it – which means about once a month. My beautiful MBMJ deserves better, though.

    Oh, and hats? Love them on others, feel a bit goofy with them myself, and I am a terrible knitter, but actually managed to make my boyfriend mittens for our first christmas together – we were 16. Guess who impressed his mother!

    Beauty purchase…. Oh well, I am actually trying to reduce make up shopping this year, but the Laura Mercier Artist´s Palette from December is a hit – much thanks to your blog post.

    Have a lovely day, sweet Karen!

    My last, best beauty purchase was the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal mask. One use and my dry, flaky winter skin looked so much better. Plus it smells like cookies:)

    Last best beauty purchase was going back to Revlon’s Whipped Cream Foundation. I tried Laura Mercier’s Silk Creme Foundation and my skin absolutely hated it. I gave it a good two weeks before giving up entirely, but it slid off and made me break out. And here I thought I needed a more moisturizing foundation. Guess not!

    I can do some basic crocheting. I actually had a club a few years back with my middle school students to teach them the basics too. They loved it!

    Tabs is SO cute! And I can’t believe you get him to actually walk in a harness. My cat would just drag the ground trying to pull off the harness. I will have to try it on my new boys and see if they’ll go for it. Thanks for the entertaining videos of Tabs and the giveaway!

    My last beauty purchase consisted of these items:
    1. Murad clarifying cleanser
    2. Boscia Tsubaki oil <3333
    3. Urban Decay Naked 3 eyeliner
    4. Urban Decay Junkie eyeliner
    5. Glam Glow Tingleexfoliate mask
    6. Urban Decay grind house.

    The item that I'm most excited about is the Tsubaki oil! It has transformed my skin! It makes my skin feel silky smooth and baby soft. I love it!

    I could certainly use that gift card-like who couldn’t, I know!! I am and have been looking for a good foundation for a while. I have oily skin mostly and need fairly full coverage. I probably need to just get a sample of some to try before I buy.

I always have so much fun shopping for makeup products at a discount, seeing my favorite YouTube makeup gurus and my favorite makeup vendors, and taking pictures. I can’t wait to go next year.
