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

November 15th, 2014 by Karen 324 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, sweets!

Beyond the Lights. I think it just came out last night. El Hub and I went, and I really enjoyed it.

I just caught myself because I almost wrote a spoiler… Don’t worry, I won’t. 🙂

It was directed by the same woman who directed Love and Basketball, Gina Prince-Bythewood, which I also liked, so if you liked that, I think you’d also like this. It’s about a young, hyper-managed pop star whose every action is spun for the tabloids or gossip blogs, or covered up, and everything has PR implications — who she’s dating, where she’s going for lunch, what she’s wearing. It exhausts her.

She also has no creative control over her career either, at all, and the things she wants aren’t compatible with the manufactured image that her manager (her mom, in this case, played by Minnie Driver) and her record label are trying to create.

She starts to unravel until… Cue the romantic part of the story!

It sounds like it could go Lifetime movie in a second, but it doesn’t. Not really. It’s a little cheesy, but it’s not super cheese. You get a very clear sense of who these characters are, and they don’t seem wooden or one-dimensional. They feel like real people.

Go see it and have fun!

It probably won’t win any awards, except maybe for a couple of acting performances (Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Minnie Driver are great!) or set the literati ablaze, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.

After the movie we just came home, read a little on the couch and went to bed. I woke up early this morning because El Hub was tossing and turning, so I read for about an hour, and now I’m here with you. 🙂

Good luck in this weekend’s giveaway, my friend. Hopefully I bump into you in the comments or social media somewhere along the way.

    Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. I usually go to bed around 2-3am honestly. My 4 year old is in bed at 11pm, and I put my 4 month old baby to bed a little earlier than that, around 930. So once they are both in bed I take a few hours to myself. But it’s not that big of a problem seeing as my son doesn’t wake up until around 10am.

    I wear concealer almost everyday. My go-to under eye and spot concealer is It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Concealer in the squeeze tube. I have really dry skin and this is the only one I’ve found that has high coverage but is still moisturizing enough for me.

    What do you think is your most unique attribute?
    — I would say my ability to see the good in everyone, and my patience. Good lord I have waaaay to much patience!

    What would your drag queen name be (mine would be Kitty McDiamond)?
    — Oh my goodness… Lilly O’Malley?

    What’s one piece of makeup you wear every day (or almost daily)?
    — Mascara and lil balm! I never go a day with out them!

    What’s your favorite month?
    — Definitely November. It just makes me feel different every year.

    How good is your penmanship/handwriting?
    — It’s legible. I wouldn’t say it’s pretty, but it’s good enough for me.

    What time did you go to bed last night?
    — Around 9:30/10 CST? Busy work day
    🙁

    My favourite month is actually November because it’s my birthday month (Monday the 17th \o/ ) and it’s the run-up to Sinterklaas (AKA Saint Nicolas Day which is a major holiday in Belgium) and to Christmas. Usually you also get a nice mix of wintery days and the last mild days of the year. All in all, al really exciting month for me. 🙂

    My most unique attribute is to be a person who is not involved in the lives of others, I always try to do unto others what I would have them do to me, also have a lot of ability to talk to animals, dogs, cats birds, lizards, and another that pass in my life <3

    My name would drag queem Ladywinx

    I use it all the days of the feline pencil mac is my inseparable companion

    My favorite month is April, I love too because it's my birthday

    Karen in college who did de Ciencias accountancy, my handwriting was very small, pretty, delicate and graceful, with the passage of time my writing has increased, and became more strange, not like the big letter, always liked small and delicate little letters with adhesive kitten home sheet I write!

    First of all, I’m a beauty blogger, and I love your site! I’m also a married mom of four, and don’t get to spoil myself very often. I’d adore the chance to win this gift card! Also, some random nonsense about me: I’m a Paralegal but choose not to pursue that field of work due to the fact that it’s utterly boring. I paint (oil and acrylic mediums) and love to read. My favorite color is red. I want to go to Italy. We cook Mexican food in my house almost every night of the week (and no, we’re not Mexican). I am addicted to coffee, and writing. I suppose that’s it for now. Good luck, everyone!

    hey karen! just got the everything nice palette and tarte’s pin up girl blush palette, so far loving both! apparently the holiday palettes have a slightly different formula as they are made in china, instead of the usa? also waiting on the bronzer wardrobe from sephora but apparently they are running behind due to so many orders so yay for us getting a free 250 beauty points!!

    I could answer so many of your questions this week, but I’ll limit myself to two. I think I have very good penmanship. After all I went to Catholic elementary school and can remember have my knuckles rapped with a ruler for not having my letters sit correctly on the line on the paper. There were also the endless drills of drawing rows and rows and rows of differing loops on the paper. It was all supposed to help us have perfect penmanship.
    My very favorite month is October. I love autumn with all the beautifully colored leaves on the trees. (Although that does happen later here in CA.) I love Octoberfests. And it doesn’t hurt that my birthday falls in October either.

    One piece of makeup that I wear every day w/o fail is lip balm. Lip balm either goes on under my other lip products or I wear it alone when I’m just loafing around at home. Keeping my lips hydrated and protected is very important to me and lip balm (and water) do that very thing.

    But I watched a movie with Mr. Loca, which is a rare occasion nowadays. We watched “The Hunter” with William Dafoe. I really like WD, and the pictures of the landscape were stunning, but the movie in general was a bit disappointing.
    I didn´t really get into the characters, and even though I am usually highly emotional during movies, when two of them died I was just: Whatever, we saw that coming.
    But it spiked wanderlust. We missed out on Tasmania when we went to Australia 2012. One more reason to go back!

    Every day that I leave the apartment, even to go for a walk, I wear at least a BB/CC cream with mineral SPF (set with some kind of powder), tinted brow gel, and tinted lip balm with SPF as my minimal makeup — if I’m going to work, there’s at least mascara, tightlining, a light sweep of some kind of cheek color, and lipstick. The idea that you should wear less makeup as you get older is a myth –your complexion (or mine, at least!) needs more help than ever.

    My least minimum for makeup is either mascara or a bit of blush, depending on how I feel. Sometimes I just feel like a ghost and need some blush just to look a bit alive!

    The one piece of makeup I wear every day is concealer. My favorite one is Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I do have pretty good handwriting. One of my best friends asked me to address her wedding invitations, because she liked my handwriting so much. That was back in 1991. Thanks for another giveaway Karen!!

    I know you were talking about this a few weeks ago but I also saw Birdman and thought it was beautifully done. Almost all filmed in one shot. I loved it. Anyway, Happy Monday!

    I have worn the Tarte BB creams, either the one that used to be the tinted moisturizer or the BB/ primer thing. I love both of those and I don’t have perfect skin so I need some evening out. I also wear a tarte blush every day. Those are my two musts, other than that I always throw something on my lips, be it a korres lip butter or some other balm.

    Eyeliner! I feel like my eyes look so small and tired without it. A new favorite is Lancome Artliner <3
