Comment to Win a $50 eGift Card From MAC! (Ends Monday)

September 19th, 2015 by Karen 386 Comments

** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, MICHELLE!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.

mac-giveaway-09-19-15

I’m kind of on the fence about my latest TV obsession, the new Beverly Hills 90210, except that it’s not new at all, because it’s from 2008.

Netflix, ya know? I watch so many things I never would have found, but I started watching it, and I’m wondering, are any of the actors actually in their teens?? I mean, it takes place at West Beverly High School. Couldn’t they have hired an actual teenager for at least one of the parts?

But I digress…

How’s it going, my friend? What are you up to this weekend? I’m absolutely not excited about it, but I have to do some housecleaning. 🙁 Since El Hub thinks he spotted a mouse in the kitchen the other day, I am officially freaked out. I’m also extremely disappointed in Tabs for failing in his duties as the company’s lead mouser. I’m starting to wonder if he fibbed on his resume.

Right now, though, I’m on my way to another one of those Sephora classes. This one’s called Perfectly Paired Lips and Cheeks.

These classes are great, BTW! You should totally look into them. They’re fun, and because they’re early in the morning, they help me get an early start on the day. Four stars and two thumbs up!

I hope you’re doing something fun today. Talk to you soon, and good luck in the giveaway.

Prize

  • One (1) MAC eGift card containing $50 sent to the winner by email (international readers, you may opt to receive $50 sent by PayPal instead).

    • Finish the sentence, “With my makeup I never…”
    • My significant other has [ADJECTIVE] [NOUN].
  • One entry per person.

    It’s not necessarily a saying that drives me crazy, but it irritates me when people write “should of” or “could of” instead of should’ve or could’ve. I also get annoyed when people say “I could care less” when it’s supposed to be “I couldn’t care less” because if you could care less, that means you still care to some degree! I suppose I’m a little nutty for those things to drive me crazy.

    Oh! You should do a mini review or tell us about the Sephora class. I’ve always wanted to go to one, but I’ve heard mixed reviews of the one in my area. As someone with lots of make up experience, I feel like you could really discern what is valuable or not from them. Hope you enjoy it!

Now that I’m in college, I feel like so many of those “high school” movies (Twilight and the likes) should be in college just because the actors look so old! But it’s entertaining in a way.

    I love the Sephora classes!! They’re so much fun and laid back. The classes I’ve been to remind me of being a teenager and playing make overs with my friends. I have a ton of cleaning to do but I’m working 11am-3pm. I know it “seems” like I have plenty of time but I know I’ll be tired when I get home. A 20 min nap will lead to, I’ll get started in 10 min and then 10 turns into 20 and so on…. I cannot stand it when “then/than” are not used properly. Thank you for another amazing giveaway!!

    I’m very careful these days about remembering to wear foundation, because it helps cover my couperosa, and because it acts sort of as a coat to my thin, sensitive ruddy skin. Earlier I didn’t always wear foundation (let alone a primer), but I have to now. I cycle everywhere and my forehead often gets sweaty, and I need to have a good primer and a foundation that stays put. Recently I’ve been loving L’Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte and Clarins primer. They really stay put and look nice even if I sweat.

    And OMG, I need Fashion Revival in my life.

    Hmm something I’ve gotten very good at lately is triple cleansing my face at the end of the day. When I was younger people (various youtube beauty gurus, my mom, blogs-not you, Karen :)) always told me to be careful to not over clean my face. Therefore I never ended up cleaning my face enough. It was once AM, once PM and clarisonic 2x a week. College has made me more adventurous than I had ever been. For some reason I decided to start washing my face more these past few months. And omg. With the exception of a few blackheads on my nose, I can’t event remember the last time I had a breakout! Like those big red zits or whiteheads that hurt! No changes in diet or anything! I’m so happy with my skin righ now and hope other young ladies out there keep in mind that all the makeup needs to come off at the end of the day. This is getting long but I also wanted to share some favs: caudalie micellular water, boscia oil free oil cleanser, and fresh rose face mask. Definitely on the pricier side but I think anything you put on yourself is worth the splurge.

    I know at least one other comment was about this… But it drives me crazy when people say “could care less” instead of “couldn’t care less” !!!!! People use it to mean that they do not care at all, but if you could care less, then you do care! If you couldn’t care less, then you do not care at all! It’s so simple. To be fair, it’s really a personal issue and it shouldn’t bother me, especially how the saying has changed in our culture to be acceptable without the ‘nt. When I was a little kid maybe 7 or 8 I made that mistake and my uncle and sister made fun of me, so for years every time I heard the saying I felt ashamed. It still makes me cringe 🙁

    With my make up I never wear a bright lip. I feel if I was better at makeup I definitely would though. Also are Sephora classes free? I’ve never gone to one. I just went In a Sephora for the first time ever few weeks ago. Also do they help you find your shade of makeup for you? I saw someone doing it in the mirror for themselves but I was wondering if they help?

    With my makeup I never seem to wear eyeliner. It’s a very very rare occasion when I wear eyeliner and it is almost always a wing if I am. It’s just too much work and a hassle for me on the everyday. If I’m wearing it know it took me 2 hours to do my makeup and it is some kind of special occasion.

I have two cats and when a mouse dared to peek its little whiskers into our house it ended up becoming a dead gift left for me on my bathmat. Lol! I felt terrible for the poor little thing and would have saved it if I could. The cats are well fed so they had no interest in eating it. I think they just played with it until it died of fright.

I’m also hoping to hit up Espionage Cosmetics’ new B & M store while I’m in the area.

    Sorry to hear about the mice, but I’m sure Tabs doesn’t want to ruin his manicure. What if he had to shoot a big ad campaign the next day? Priorities! I’m glad we don’t have mice here (knock on wood). They’re awful cute, but not fun to live with.

I’ve been using it every single day this past week, and i LURVE it! I almost thought that I liked the MAC on better, but I’d just forgotten the formula of the Chanel Le Volume. One coat is fantastic, and two is just heaven on my already long lashes. It makes me (honest to goodness) look like I have false eyelashes on. Super cool!!!! I’ve finally learned how to tighttline and gotten gel eyeliner for the waterline and my lashes rock!!! Love to you and tabs, sorry about the mouse situation, scary!!! Gina and Gracie.

    I keep seeing “_hair, don’t care” on Pinterest. Maybe this means I’m old, but it’s maddening. Does anyone even know what it means, or do people just say because other people use it? If it actually seemed clever, it wouldn’t bother me, but it just sounds stupid. Sigh…

    When people say “I could care less,” instead of “I COULDN’T care less.” Saying that you “could care less” means that you still care somewhat. The whole point is that you have no f****s left to give!

    I saw a online that Bobbi Brown will be introducing for Spring 2016 a mascara that makes the lashline look darkened at the root, so no need for eyeliner. Now THAT would make my day!

    I would say one thing I’ve gotten really good at is ( weirdly ) School ! I would have never though school would interest me, but now that I’ve picked my subjects, I just find it so much more interesting it’s crazy for me because I’ve never been a school girl !
    And the one thing ( Makeup wise ) I couldn’t live without would be … Taupe lipstick by mac, my favorite everrrrrrr ( And spice lipliner to go with love the combo of the two !! )
    I’m 16 yrs but I have the agreement of my parents.
    Thank you so much once again, love your blog and your videos ( You should do more videos they are so entertaining to watch ! )

    I have been very careful lately when applying makeup prior to work. A few weeks ago, the weather became schizophrenic. I thought we might actually get some fall temperatures and so I jumped on the fall makeup trend, but mother nature changed her mind. There I was, in 92 degree heat and sun, with dark vampy oxblood nails and matching lips. Truth be told, in my profession, that was a little bold, even for the fall. So this week, its back to light pink nails and lips.

I’m loving the Clinique lash power long-wearing mascara. It’s not waterproof, so it doesn’t require an army to remove, but it really does stay on all day without smudging! Great stuff!

    Hey Karen! I attended the Perfectly Paired Lips & Cheeks class last year & I had a blast. There was a website glitch & the Contouring & Highlighting class scheduled for last Sunday was a mistake. It’s actually happening in a few weeks…yay!

    I attended the Nordstrom Fall Trend Show yesterday morning. The show was great & my Tom Ford makeover was even better! I wore the look for about 14 hours & it held up pretty well. Of course, the occasional dusting of MAC MSFN in Dark plus MUFE’s setting spray definitely helped!

    Also, misuse of the word literally drives me figuratively insane. Someone once said to me “it was so hot, my head was literally on fire!” *blink blink* WHAT?!?! I did call her out on it and she got totally pissed. Worth it though – she told me she’s mentally checked her use of literally ever since!!

    Soooo…2 things:

    1. I’m DYING to do one of the Sephora classes, but they’re never offered at my local. It’s weird, too–I’m not exactly in the sticks, so it’s kinda frustrating.

    2. I’m also DYING for some old/new MAC, specifically a classic nude (e.g. Faux, Brave, Velvet Teddy).

    I’m really careful about the foods I eat because I’m DEATHLY allergic to nuts. When traveling, this can be a bit crazy, because I have to be the annoying person who asks waiters “Is there nuts in this?” or because I’m carrying epinephrine, the flight has to not serve peanuts (which to me is odd, because I tell them, you can serve peanuts, just don’t give them to me). I’ve been told that nut allergies don’t exist (I was in foreign country at the time… >__<'). Anyhow..I'm careful about food because of this.

    I’ve only ever bought two MAC products. Lipsticks: Show Orchid and Impassioned. Because, if you can believe it, even though I’m 37 I only discovered MAC and Sephora 2 years ago. Lol I just didn’t wear makeup, as I didn’t need much, and I was busy traveling in my 20’s. I just owned 1 Maybelline blush, maybe a handful of maybelline lipsticks and their face powder and concealer. I did have a lot of Rimmel eyeliner and a ton of Bath and Body lipgloss.
    So here’s to trying more MAC! ;D cheers!

    I’m with the other who said things like “irregardless” and “supposably” and “I could care less” and would like to add that I’m particularly irritated by reference to a certain Life Cereal commercial from when I was a kid: “give it to ‘Mikey’, he’ll eat anything.” Um NO! The entire point of the commercial was that Mikey wouldn’t eat anything. He was SO picky. The lines were:
    Kid one: I’m not gonna try it, YOU try it!
    Kid two: I’m not gonna try it.
    Kid one: Give it to Mikey!
    Kid two: He won’t eat it, he hates everything.
    *Slides bowl to Mikey and he starts eating it.
    Kids one and two VERY SURPRISED exclaim: HE LIKES IT! HEY MIKEY!

    I’m probably the only one in the world this bothers and so now I’ve gotten if off my chest! HAHA THANK YOU!
