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

June 27th, 2015 by Karen 393 Comments

** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

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

Win a $50 MAC eGIFT CARD from Makeup and Beauty Blog

Rise and shine, morning glory. Happy caturday! 🙂

So much on my mind right now because it’s been a BIG week, but let’s get the important things out of the way first. Are you ready? Let’s start with this: bunnies. And almost tailless cats.

Yes, I’m referring to my part-time petsitting duties, but no, I haven’t taken any pictures yet, even though I really want to, because I haven’t gotten permission from my friends to share them online. 🙁

BUT I REALLY WANT TO. LOL!

First, there’s Malu, an orange and white love muffin with big, bright brown eyes and half a tail. She likes eating, flashing her tum on the floor and taking longs walks around the dining room.

And then there’s Zee-Zee, a rambunctious white bunny with black pointed ears who enjoys cat-watching from the comfort of her extra-large cage and snacking on fresh veggies (last night she had kale).

Both of them are painfully adorbs.

In other news…Monte Rio Beach on the Russian River. I don’t think we’ll be going kayaking there today because it’s actually almost cold. A foggy weather front came in, and it’s not ideal kayaking weather, so that throws a wrench into our plans.

We’ll see though… If it warms up at all we’ll go.

This week flew by for me so fast that it feels almost like I didn’t participate! — like this week literally skipped right by. I dunno, it’s weird. But I feel like I’ve been MIA for a while, even though I’ve been right here. Weird.

I hope you had a good week and that somebody politely held a door open for you. Have a kick-@ss pre-4th of July weekend. Talk to you soon, my friend. The giveaway starts in 3-2-1…

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).

$50 MAC eGIFT CARD

Rules

  • Enter by leaving a comment below.

    • Do you notice your skin gets better or worse after certain foods?
    • When was the last time you had a good foot massage?
    • Do you ever meditate?
    • What’s a good name for a great eyeshadow?
    • Have you ever fallen asleep in a lecture or meeting?
    • What’s one of your favorite parts of doing your makeup?
  • One entry per person.
  • You must use a valid email address to win.
  • The giveaway ends on Monday, June 29, 2015 at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time). 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

Which ain’t so great since I like applying blush/highlight/bronzer the most, which then only seems to emphasize those bumps.

It’s fun to think about what you’re going to use next, go back in with something else & being creative! I’m not a morning person, so before work everyday I just slap on what’s easiest, and there’s not a whole lot of joy in that! Haha 😉

    My favorite part about putting on makeup is the transformation, even if I’m going with a light, natural look. As a kid I loved the before-and-after makeovers. Each more, it’s like a little before-and-after with my own face. And if it doesn’t look good, it washed off. Perfect!

    My favorite part of doing makeup is either the whole experience- which I find to be both calming and energizing, depending on the time of day (in the morning, I wake up doing my makeup, and if I’m rushed for a quick day-night change, it calms me) or putting my lipstick on last to see how the whole look comes together.

    I haven’t fallen asleep in a meeting (I have awesome colleagues who wouldn’t let me do that- I’ve returned the favor with a sneaky pen poke to the ribs when they were nodding off!), but I’ve been close.

    I could use a great foot massage!

Sometimes I like it and will do it again (if I can recall what I’ve used) and something I don’t like it and knew I shouldn’t have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

    My skin reacts badly to food with cottonseed oil in it. My daughters and I also react to products that have Methylisothiazolinone. A lot of skincare, make-up, liquid soaps, and shampoos have Methylisothiazolinone in the ingredients and it causes rashes, spots, and irritated scalps in some people.

    Favorite part of makeup is mascara, I have super long eyelashes (they’re thin) and with the right mascara it looks like I’m wearing false eyelashes. Without mascara you can’t see them because they are thin and blonde. It makes such a huge difference when I add that final touch of mascara.

    My favorite part of doing my makeup is probably eyeshadow/liner/mascara, only because I rarely sit down to actually do my eyes as of late and it’s always a treat when I do! I really enjoy meditation, but I just haven’t been able to get myself to sit there and do it long enough and consecutively enough. Thanks so much for offering such a generous giveaway, Karen! Hope you (and your husband and furry friends!) have a great weekend!

    We have five lovable kitties (one of them with only one eye… he is such a little babe) and a leopard gecko.. They’re awesome. Anytime you want to come to Michigan to pet sit you are more than welcome to do so 😉 Your kayaking trip sounds nice, we are headed out two weeks from now for some ‘roughing it’ couple of days of camping on a river type deal. Lots of kayaking and tubing for us, too! Anyways – the best place to get a good foot massage are the little Asian reflexology joints, LOVE those! We know the ones around where we live but anytime I am out of town I consult Yelp to find one (last time was about three weeks ago, spoiled ~ I know 🙂 ). Have a nice weekend!!

    Freshman year in college I had Intro to Art History; Ancient to Medieval at 8 a.m. This one morning the lights went down to look at slides and I promptly fell asleep. On the shoulder of the guy sitting next to me in the crowded auditorium. I woke up about 3/4 of the way through the hour but was too embarrassed to move. So I stayed there with my eyes closed for another 15 minutes. As soon as I heard that lecture end, I grabbed my stuff and skeedaddled out of there, without looking back at the guy who’s shoulder I drooled upon. I sat on the other side of the lecture hall for the remainder of the semester.

    Do you notice your skin gets better or worse after certain foods?

    Never? I’ve never had a mani-pedi either.

    Do you ever meditate?
    No, but I want to start. I just don’t know where to begin.

    What’s a good name for a great eyeshadow?
    For me, the name would have to depend on the color. In general, I like the Rouge Bunny Rouge names.

    No. I have almost fallen asleep driving and had to pull over to the side of the road for a nap.

But I also love bronzer/contouring and blush because it brings life back to my face. And then the eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara make my eyes look awake and more blue. So… I love every aspect of my makeup routine :).

I used to stick to browns, all mattes, because I have brown eyes and I was always afraid of color. But with age, apparently I got courage, because now I love to experiment with vibrant colors to make my brown eyes pop!

    A few months ago, I started a juicing reboot for a couple of weeks. This changed my metabolism completely. Eating a more plant-based, colorful diet and being mindful of drinking water often has detoxed my system and helped me keep off a few unnecessary pounds. After changing my tastebuds, my skin is clearer and more youthful.

    It makes sense for me to not only be aware of what I’m putting INTO my body, but what I’m putting ON it. After all, our skin is our largest organ ;). I now love searching for innovative, quality cosmetics that use less harmful ingredients, are cruelty-free and ethically sourced.

    My favorite part of makeup would be the application and layering, I think. I used to just get my colors and would apply one at a time in a sequential order and I always ended up over-applying. I was still doing application techniques from when I was in my 20’s! After a few makeovers and proper counsel on age appropriate application (don’t laugh), I really enjoy the process of putting makeup on because now I end up with the desired result. For me it’s all about layering and building color. It’s more like playing, now – a little dab here, then build a little color there, then dust some powder over here, etc. On workdays I make sure I wake up early so that I can be relaxed and enjoy my playtime and don’t leave the house looking like a clown because I had to rush and slap on everything.

    I used to have continual breakouts on my chin and near my mouth. It would get so bad I wouldn’t wear lipstick because I didn’t want to draw any more attention to that area of my face. Finally figured out the culprit was caffeine. I was a major coffee addict and cut out all coffee and caffeinated drinks. Haven’t had the problem since, but now if I’m groggy there’s no cure but a nap!

    My favorite part of doing my makeup is applying powder blush. Not only does it perk up my pallid complexion, but a soft brush feels like little kitty kisses on my cheeks.:-D

    I don’t notice skin changes after eating certain foods, but I do notice that if I’m using my bath towel to dry my face post shower I’m more prone to breakouts. I started using a separate hand-towel just to dry my face. Its great- fewer breakouts! I read somewhere that residue from your bath products can clog your pores if youre you’re the same towel for everything-I’m definitely a believer now! Love your blog!

    One of my favorite parts of doing makeup is taking it off! Before I started wearing makeup regularly I didn’t take great care of my skin. I’ve always been fortunate enough to have pretty clear skin but it was dry and I didn’t wear sunscreen. Since I started experimenting and expanding my collection of makeup I have made washing my face every night before bed part of my routine where it wasn’t before. I love playing with makeup but there is nothing like the satisfaction of a cleansed and moisturized mug before I crawl into bed!

    Just to comment maybe different but a homeless man a mile down the road from me gave me his very loved yorkie to love and take care of as long as he could visit once in awhile. Then about 2 hours later he asked me if I would wash his nice shirt and jeans and take him to church. Every Sunday I pick him up on the way and he has many things he fights inside addiction is one of them but he was raised in the church and wants to go back. All started out with a little bitty fur baby. Today my friend was missing and while he has his own choices I do hope for the praying folks and just you lovely people on here to think of a man named Norman it would be wonderful thing. Good vibes or whatever you believe. This old country neighborhood would appreciate it.
