** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, MELISSA!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.
Aw, don’t make me get out of bed!
So sleepy…
The only thing that could get me out of bed right now is the thought of going to Sephora.
No, really, I’m going to another one of those classes this morning. This one’s Eyebrow & Eye Contour (I think).
I wish I could participate remotely from my bed…in my pajamas, with my cat next to me. But I guess that wouldn’t be the same. 🙂
My brother is visiting this weekend, so I have to go downstairs soon and tiptoe around him so I don’t wake him up while I make my decaf coffee…which really doesn’t work to wake you up, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Whatever you do today, I hope it involves a nap, or perhaps multiple naps. Naps are for Saturdays, and Saturdays are for naps.
Thank you for visiting, my friend. Have a wonderful day.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
My last purchase was the ysl blur perfector!
I’m never sure how to say Guerlain lol. Guess it’s good that I don’t have any of their products.
Hi Karen,
Please do another post about these Sephora classes! I am so curious to know what you have learnt! Hope you have a fun weekend!
L’Occitane is hard to pronounce. Even after 7 years of French!
My last Sephora purchase was the Bare Minerals brow pencil. Total impulse buy, but it worked out – it’s the perfect color for me 🙂
My last purchase from Sephora were the absolutely awesome Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum concealers you recommended!
I love this blog! Right now I’m really just starting my makeup collection because I just recently became obsessed! My favorite thing is eyeshadows, I love pinks and golds!
Hey Karen!
My last Sephora purchase was the Laura Mercier Translucent setting powder. I’m going to use it today for the first time.
Enjoy the Sephora class and your weekend!
Last sephora purchase was the Becca highlighter trio with champagne pop! Love!!
My last sephora purchase was the complexion rescue sample set by bare minerals. Love everything in it
I do not own a leather jacket but do own a pleather jacket.
My last Sephora purchase was the Hourglass Ambient Edit palette. I was so tired of waiting for it to launch internationally and missed it when it came on net a porter and got sold out in hours. So I couldn’t wait any longer and ordered it from Sephora. Only after that I realized that if I had waited a couple of days, it would have been my birthday month and I would have gotten my Nars bday present. Took me a while to get over that fact but what can you do… I just had to have the palette.
I store most of my makeup in the bathroom, but really wish I had a better set-up! It can be hard to find stuff 😛
It’s a beautiful fall day here–sunny, but chilly.
Hi Karen!
I absolutely adore sunsets and sunrises!!! The last thing that I bought at Sephora was that Urban Decay Setting Spray. I want, so want the Tart Holiday Palette with all the sequins. I can’t remember the name…. you blogged it so beautifully. I can’t afford it though. So the card would go alone way to help get it!!!
I have three leather jackets.
Oh and Karen, I was going to ask you a question. What is your favorite primer? I’m using Smashbox Photo Finish but it make my make up look so heavy and “made up”. Can you recommend on that is midrange price that doesn’t do that? I do have acne scarring and large pore issues (sadly) and I have combo – partially oily/dry skin. I’m experiencing dry flakes right now bad. I believe it’s my acne medicine. Anyhoodles. I’d appreciate.
Thanks,
Gina
Thanks for keeping your blog up-to-date! I love checking it and reading new stuff.
The last time I traveled out of the country was when I was 10 years old – about 15 years ago! I went to Vietnam. One day, I’ll go back.
Last Sephora purchase? Sephora brow pencil in soft charcoal. One of my everyday needs.
My last Sephora purchase was 3 Kat von D everlasting lipsticks (bachelorette, LUV, bauhau5), Kevyn Aucoin contour palette 2, and a cream contour brush.
I store my make up in an Ikea cart. I believe it’s bent for the kitchen but it is huge and works great.
Ala Moana (Hawaii) has the best sunset Ive ever seen. Every dusk is a sight to behold. Feelings of romance or pensiveness cannot be helped. ? Aloha kakahiaka! (Good morning!)
My last purchase was the Sun Safety kit that Sephora comes out with each spring! Love it so much. I give the Origins moisturizer to my daughters (they’re only 8 but it has SPF and they have a tendancy towards dry skin…never too early to start protecting your skin!) and I enjoy trying all the rest of the products. I’ve gone back to school so not many fun beauty purchases lately but it will pay off in the end. 🙂 Such a fun giveaway! I have about 7 things in my cart to remind me what I’d like for Christmas/birthday wishes (dying to try the tarte 5 blush set and Mario Badescu facial spray!) 🙂
Oh goodness, I just set up feedly and didn’t realize this post was from July! Still a fun giveaway, love the comment suggestions 🙂
My last Sephora purchase was beard oil for my husband. Have a great weekend !!
I’m loving your collection reviews lately. I can’t buy anything without knowing your opinion. Hope the pregnancy is going well!
My last purchase in Sephora was the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz and It was a month ago…you know how depress I am since that day…I need more makeup!!! ??
How does one pronounce L’Occitane? My high school French is too rusty for me to figure that out on my own.
Lox-ee-tahn 🙂
I would love to own a leather jacket but I have a large chest and I feel like leather jackets aren’t flattering for us busty ladies! Any suggestions on flattering styles?
I can never pronounce Lancôme, and I store my makeup in a carousel I got from Bed Bath & Beyond
Catching up on Once Upon a Time this rainy weekend! Love your blog And thanks for sharing the love! This will come in handy for the holidays!
I store my makeup in Ikea Helmer drawers.
hallo Karen! Hope your weekend is starting off well. The last Sephora purchase I made was the limited Bite Lib Lab lipstick for November. I think I mentioned it previously on here that I am a sucker for targeted marketing with personalized names or birthdate. It is NOT a colour I would get (all my lipsticks are pink based) but surprisingly, I actually quite like it. Was it worth the 40 CAD, now that’s a different story lol But at least I know, it will probably last until my final breath 😛
I’ve been trying to decide whether to get any of the shiny new holiday palettes and such or just get back to my stash!
How the heck do you pronounce givenchy?! Heard it so many different ways!
I’ve heard it on a commercial as “jiv-on-shee.”
Hi Karen,
Sorry to pick on the little typo on the post (I hope it’s a typo 🙂 )
“The giveaway ends on Monday, June 22, 2015 at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time)”
You mean Monday, November 9, 2015?
Cheers,
Bearby
I recently purchased the La Prairie Skin Caviar Lux Eye Lift Cream from a duty free store. To justify the purchase, I told my husband that the cream was for him. I totally lied…ha ha.. I have been using it everyday behind his back.
Fixed! Thank you for letting me know, Bearby! Hope you’re having a great weekend.
Thanks for the chance. I made vib for the first time this year and have no idea what to get during the sale.
Hi Karen! I am in hibernation mode too right now. I am unemployed right now so there is no REASON to get up so it makes it even more difficult to drag myself out of bed, but stuff still needs to get done! Must be 10 times more difficult while preggo!
Let’s discuss happy topics! My most recent Sephora purchase was the Urban Decay Revolution lipgloss duo in Liar and Anarchy. Also, I bought the Buxom trio Pout Out Loud in Hot Toddy, Rebel Rose (MUST HAVE) and Gabby.
I store my makeup by brands, pallet, etc in an old wooden dresser that I’ve had since I was a baby and I’m 36 lol, but my mac well that is stored in 5 scrapbook see through containers because those Andre my babies (:
OMG! everytime I need to say “Givenchy” or “hermes” I feel nervous.
My last Sephora purchase was Bite Beauty lip cream in Zin. It’s a perfect berry shade! ?
As always, I look forward to hearing about your class. Have fun!
My first and last Sephora purchase was the Anastasia Beverley Hills Briw Wiz. I went to Sephora whilst travelling in America, and really wish they’d open a store in the UK!
I need a replacement leather jacket
istanbul has absolutely most beautiful sunsets ✨ you should visit ?
I’m in New York for a month, visiting from Australia. A Seohora gift card would be very handy:)
CoverFX Oil Free Foundation in N0 was my last Sephora purchase!
Thanks for all your blog posts and fantastic videos! My most recent Sephora purchase included the Dr. Jart+ BB It’s Cold Outside Set, the Bite Beauty Best Bite Rewind, and the Buxom Don’t Miss a Beat set. Your Buxom holiday sets video was very helpful to see all the products and swatches! I also just stuck the Sephora bright future gel serum concealer onto my loves list–thanks for the great tip!
Colorado’s sunsets are absolutely beautiful 🙂
A hard brand name to pronounce was Loccitane. My bf would pronounce it as Low Octane lol
They have the phonetic pronunciation on their website which is where I learned I’ve been pronouncing it completely wrong all these years. It’s “lox-ee-tahn” according to them!
Thanks for this – I’ve been eyeing the dry shampoo favorite kit at Sephora!
I don’t own a leather jacket but I did get a pleather jacket from the Nordstrom anniversary sale that I’m beyond excited to rock this year!
––––– one brand name that’s hard for me to pronounce is Clé de Peau Beauté .
thanks for the chance , karen !
have a great weekend !
Omg yes! I forgot about that one! I literally put it into Google Translate the first time I saw it written (I’ve nvr seen their products outside of a blog, so I’ve nvr heard anyone say the name), & according to Translate it’s “Clee do poo”, accent heavy on the “Clee”. & it loosely translates to skin key
The cats in the photo are reason enough to want a little Sephora goodness. Having said that, I really do enjoy trying your tips and experimenting with many looks and techniques. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I do own a leather jacket but its not real leather! 🙂
My last putchase at sephora was Urban Decay Electric palette. Love it.
Bali (Indonesia) has the most beautiful sunsets i’ve ever seen *_*
I own two leather jackets but they are not biker so I think they are put of style
My last Sephora purchase was a Sephora Favorites skincare set and the Too Faced Melted holiday set.
I own four faux leather coats (all bought second hand) – each a different color.
Arizona has the most beautiful sunsets!
Clearwater, Florida has some pretty awesome sunsets, especially when you are right on the beach and can watch the sun sink behind the ocean in the distance.
The longest I’ve traveled away from home was to Singapore and Australia! I’m from Texas, so it was quite the trip! But I loved every moment of it and I definitely recommend traveling there! Both countries are beautiful!
Have fun at your Sephora class!!
My last Sephora purchase was the Urban Decay Vice 4 palette! And I’m totally in love with it!
I also bought the Sephora lotus face mask with it!
The absolute best sunsets are in any part of Hawaii!!
We were there this summer and I agree, there are some AMAZING sunsets there. On the Road to Hana in Maui for example, oh em gee… And on the Haleakala summit!
Awww, now I miss my lil’ brother, lol 🙂 I hope you’re having a nice weekend so far, Karen! Le Husband and I went to Zermatt today, back to where he proposed to me back in the summer of 2014. My cheeks literally hurt from smiling so much all day, feeling so happy! We didn’t climb to the Matterhorn this time though. It was just a quick day trip. But still fun!
That sounds incredible, Melissa! I WISH I’d done something that exciting today. The highlight of my day was returning a moisturizer to Nordstrom, LOL! And then that Sephora Eyebrows & Eye Contour class this morning was alright. But still… Does not compare.
Haha, well, the little things also count, right?? 😉 No, but seriously, it really was incredible, I feel so blessed to live here, I don’t think I could ever go back to living in boring gray flat Belgium again.
The Isle of Tiree in Scotland has absolutely beautiful sunsets! 😀
I’m not sure if I’ve commented before…so I just wanna say 1) Congrats on your pregnancy! 2) You do amazing reviews 3) No, I do not own a leather jacket (mine is of the “vest variety” 4) I have been trying to think positively recently–>I arrived early to my interview and the manager arrived 1.5 hrs late from the scheduled time (but I got to meet 2 really cool ladies while I was waiting). The bus stop to go home didn’t have any buses come for 2 hrs when it was pouring rain (but I got to walk home for the 2.5 miles, it was a warm-ish day, and I felt like a little kid running and laughing in the rain). (:
The last purchase I made at Sephora was Benefit’s air patrol.
Guerlain. I can’t pronounce Guerlain for some reason. As a matter of fact, I don’t even know if I spelled it right LOL
Sephora is my favourite beauty store!
I store my most used makeup in a vanity with drawers, a decorative box with drawers, and a decorative desk organizer. Items I use less often I store in plastic organizers.
My last Sephora purchase was the Too Faced Le Grand Chateau. I really should have waited for the vib 20% sale but alas beauty impatience! Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I do my makeup in the bathroom because it has the best lighting. Storing makeup in the bathroom is a no-no because of humdity, but I seal it all in a medium-sized Lock ‘n Lock plastic container. Exceptions are pencils and products in jars, which are stored in a cup in the medicine cabinet. I hope this is enough to combat humidity!
It’s not the prettiest storage method, but it’s deliberate and compact. I’ve tried using a makeup bag, but it’s a hassle to move it between my bathroom and bedroom. Grr.
The last thing I got from Sephora was the giant KVD Studded Kiss collection, so I know I don’t NEED more lipsticks, but I’m still dying to try the NARS Audacious formula (Olivia is calling my name). I have a wishlist miles long including the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette (not the one with tiny pans for the holiday – the original), Becca Moonstone, some single eyeshadows, perfumes…the list goes on!
I finally I leather jacket back from leaving it at someone’s house 2 years ago, so glad I still love it 😀 😀
you are my go-to blog for make up! thanks for taking your time to blog! xx
The longest I traveled away from home was the summer I spent in New Jersey.
My last sephora purchased WAS the makeup forever artist palette!!!
Naps are a necessity for Filipinas! I’m about to take one now!
Ha! I can get behind that! 🙂
I own two leather jackets. Both from Danier and I love them.
I do own a leather jacket! It is a staple in my wardrobe. =)
I really want a leather jacket, but have yet to find one that a)I liked on me and b)actually fit right (a lot of times the sleeves are too short). I do have a leather vest though. 🙂
My last purchase from Sephora is Josie Maran products and i store all my makeup on my bedroom, and in the boxes
I’m headed out the door to take the kids to the park to walk the trails. The first time I suggested it my kids didn’t want to go but now they love it. I really enjoy it because it’s exercise we can all do together. Plus I’ve noticed in a quiet environment like the woods we end up having some great conversations.
I would love to own a leather jacket but I hate jackets that aren’t long enough.
My last Sephora purchase was a stock up on skin care haul. I got the Kate Somerville Nourish face mist, Hope in a Jar, and the FAB oatmeal mask. All extra helpful in our transition from fall to winter!
Most of my makeup is in my dressing room.
My last sephora purchase was the Bare Minerals BB Cream. I love it!
Colorado has absolutely beautiful sunsets
My last Sephora purchase is the Guerlain Terracotta Summer limited edition bronzing powder in the turquoise sleeve. I can’t wait to receive it in a few days!!!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen! My last sephora purchase was a Tokyomilk dark set and the sephora brand rose sleep and eye masks. I really liked the sleep mask, and there’s definitely more than a single use in the pod, so I’m storing the leftovers in a contact case. 🙂
So excited for the VIB sale! My last purchase was the Stella perfume haha
My last Sephora purchase was the UD Electric Palette – during last years sale! This year I can’t wait to get the Vice 4!
Hi Karen,
Between the Sephora Rouge sale and the Nordstrom Trend Show here in Austin, Tx this weekend, I have splurged on a great haul. Thanks so much for your beauty guidance!
My last Sephora purchase was a small Caudalie’s eau de raisin moisturizing water but I recon I’ve only purchased it so I could win Sephora’s beauty club birthday gift which was a Nars lip set with two mini lipstick pencils xD
Florida has beautiful sunsets, especially Key West!
You’ve given me so many starters. Have you tried green tea as a coffee alternative while you’re expecting? During my first trimester, I just took naps at my desk during my lunch hour. My morning sickness was too bad for me to really eat. (I survived on crackers, popsicles and pumpkin seeds! Lol. Oh, that was a tough summer.)
Although I know they say you shouldn’t store your make up in the bathroom because of the heat and humidity, that’s where they are. (Perfumes stay in the fridge, though.)
Cape Cod has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
i used to store my makeup in a makeup bag, graduated to an organizer, then went to 3 shelves, and now that my stash has grown i have a 3 drawer shelving unit that has wheels. i may have to move if my collection grows any more. thanks for this chance
I would like to know more about eye contour!
I struggle with saying Thierry Mugler out loud, simply because it’s one of those names that only sounds right if you say it with a French accent, which I could do but then I feel like the other person will think I’m being deliberately stuck-up. Conundrum! I tend to avoid saying it out loud.
The Florida Keys has beautiful sunsets.
Yes, I own a Kelly green leather jacket. I was big into Green Arrow from Smallville. Of course now I would love to find a cute fitted black one as well.
I always have a hard time pronouncing Guerlain and unsure of correct pronunciation.
My last Sephora purchase was a set of tiny Benefit Benebalms. It has three colours which I wanted to try out. I wear tinted lip balms most days and only bust out the lipstick once in a while!
Hi Karen. My last Sephora purchase was the Browza Super Proof Gel Brow Pencil. It’s pretty awesome! I have black hair (proud to be Pinoy!) and the colour #3 Mink Wink is pretty awesome as it looks so natural to me. One of the best purchases ever!
1. I really enjoy the sunsets over the river from the Mount Vernon running trail going from Arlington, VA into D.C.
2. Guerlain (Did I even SPELL it right??)
3. I own four leather jackets. Two are thrift shop finds for under $5, the other two are from Macy’s and Wilson’s.
4. Several weeks in Southeast Asia, twice in 2015.
5. Smashbox photo finish primer and Urban Decay eyeshadow in Suspect
6. I try to keep it contained in vanity drawers in the bathroom. Sometimes it escapes. And I use a great makeup bag with my initials on it, a bridesmaid gift from my best friend.
Yes, i have two leather jackets, both from MANGO.
Thank you !
Last thing I bought at Sephora was a selection of the First Aid Beauty stuff- their Ultra Repair Cream is the best thing for my sensitive skin
I love traveling, but 2 weeks is about my limit, even for international travel.
I do own two leather jackets – purchased 15+ years ago. One brown bomber and one green suede baseball style. I can’t remember the last time I wore either one but for some reason I keep taking them out of the donate pile!
Today my mom sent me a pic of a beautiful girl wearing black leggings, a white shirt, and a navy vest with the caption “it is Han Solo season”. Guess what I was wearing when she sent me the pic? Yep…you guessed it.
Hi Karen! I’m happy that you have a healthy baby! Have a great weekend! Can’t wait to get my VIB goodies!
I think Qhemet Biologics is hard to pronounce the first word
i have a beautiful navy leather jacket that i got for an amazing price while traveling in argentina. it is just stunning.
SF has amaaaaaaaaaaaazing sunsets. ??
Karen… Did you have awful morning sickness? This is baby #4 and this one has been the hardest yet. It’s not just morning… Afternoon, evening… Anytime I’m not sleeping. Ugh. It’s so hard teaching. I run out of my room almost every time it’s 4th period. And that’s my robotics class and there are mostly boys and they don’t understand! I’ve tried Preggie pops. I have a bean bag chair in my class that I sleep on at lunch time. I have those anti nausea bands and they, strangely, seem to work ok. I always thought they were a gimmick. My doctor perscribed me meds but I’m so scared to take anything. Did you have it bad? What worked for you? It’s so bad that I don’t even want to do makeup!!!! And when I went for my ultrasound they said the baby was measuring 7 weeks and not 8 like it had been since my period so that means I have another week of this! Boooo! I hope I feel ok for thanksgiving. I love thanksgiving. Any advice would be wonderful.
And L’occutain or however you spell it is hard to say. And I always thought Lorac was not pronounced the way it is.
I really want the new ABH “self made” pallet. Maybe buying that for myself will make me feel better
Have a great weekend!
I just bought KGD foundation from Sephora during their 20% Rouge sale. Oh, and Albuquerque has beautiful sunsets.
I just bought a Philips GoLite Blu from Costco, hope to have it delivered within a week or so. It’s getting dark really early here in Edmonton (4:30 PM) and the reviews I read said this little device actually does help with mood improvement and elevating energy levels. Well, I have 90 days to test it. Has anyone else tried such light therapy devices? Any insights? 🙂
My last purchase at Sephora was a pretty big skincare haul, along with three Tarte cheek stains.
I just bought the Anastasia Self Made Palette and look forward to trying it out this week!
Key West has one of the prettiest sunsets but I am also partial to our Lake Michigan sunsets.
My last purchase from Sephora was Belief moisturizer! It’s been working great and it’s super lightweight. 🙂
Happy Caturday Hot Mama! ?
Oml, is it just me or is Omorovicza difficult to pronounce? Once I hear a name spoken, I’m good from there, but I’ve nvr heard anyone say Omorovicza yet. I’m guessing that it’s “Ō-mor-ō-veek-sah”, but I’m probably wrong lol
Oooh I have a thing for sunsets!!! They are truly beautiful everywhere, but the ones I saw while in the Everglades are SEARED into my memory! It’s like the sky was so close it was touchable, plus the sun seems larger… I’ve nvr been at a lower latitude except while in the Baja, but I imagine sunsets near the equator to be super amazing in the same way.
& I just shelled out $50 (with the 20% off) for my holy grail foundation! I’m so excited that I FINALLY found one!!! It’s DiorSkin Forever in 022 Cameo. I got an awesome sample (ty Sephora!) that lasted me a month, & I didn’t break out at all! For my oily skin (T-Zone), that’s amazing because it’s NEVER happened before! Ever. And I used this foundation every single day (with the exception of Sat & Suns) for an entire month… Embarrassing to say, but I hadn’t washed my face brushes in at least 3months either…(I know that’s disgusting. They’re clean now). Oh, & I fell asleep in full makeup twice while wearing. I’m literally blown away by the Forever formula so I figured it was worth the $$.
* plus I read somewhere that foundation, concealer, & mascara are the three products you shouldn’t skimp on, so I justified the price with that because it does make total sense. It’s your face.. Our lovely faces are worth it ?
* SSL! Have a great weekend!!!
i do not own a leather jacket i did at one time and its rainy here in texas
One brand that I pronounce differently every time is Loccitane. I understand that it is a french word, and even though I have Googled it and asked the staff at the Loccitane store, I still can’t seem to say it properly. I’d like to think that this is cute, like when a little kids says “pasketti”, but it probably just makes me sound unsophisticated. Either way, I still love the bath bar in the milk scent. Ahhh.
Give Me More Lip was the last thing I bought from Sephora. 🙂
I’ve never traveled away from home for longer than a month
A nap sounds awesome right now. Unfortunately my husband, 6 year old, and 18 month old are making that virtually impossible.
Happy Saturday Karen,
It’s pretty chilly in Arizona today so I’ll be snuggling by the fireplace and quite possibly nodding off in my attempts at getting warm. But first I want to put on some makeup just for kicks. I like to get dolled up even if I’m not going out anywhere special. The joys of being a girl 🙂
__Arizona________ has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
A brand name that’s very hard for you to pronounce?
Fage – I always forget how it’s pronounced but it’s my Greek yogurt of choice.
Do you own a leather jacket?
Yes, one.
What’s the longest you’ve ever traveled away from home?
To Virgina.
What was your last Sephora purchase?
X nail polish.
Where do you store most of your makeup at home?
On my vanity.
I’m so excited to use the amazing products I picked up during my two trips to Sephora for try Rouge sale!! Probably placing a third online order today…. I have a problem! Lol
I went to Sephora for my birthday and I got the MUFE Lavender Artist Shadow, it’s so beautiful. I want to try their liquid eyeliners but they didn’t have them at the store.
Just placed my Sephora VIB purchase. Ugh!
I cannot wait for Christmas to get here
The last item I bought from Sephora was Marc Jacobs Hi-Shine Lacquer in Fluorescent Beige.
I just bought my first leather jackets (brown and black) within the last 6 months, and I’m in love! I’ve always wanted one of each basic color, and they just pull an outfit together SO well!
My last Sephora purchase was their new gel concealer in Bavarian Cream.
My last Sephora purchase was the Play! monthly subscription. It is awesome. I plan to buy a couple of full-size products based on the items in the box.
Puerto Rico has beautiful sunsets. (missing them like crazy right now)
My last purchase with sephora was some eyeliner pencils that I love and would love to have some liquid lipsticks and do to back pain I’m not able to work and I could buy something for the my girls for Christmas.
my last sephora purchase was the play! subscription. two boxes in and i looove it so far.
The farthest I’ve been away from home is Moscow–and I’m sure they had some hard-to-pronounce brand names over there.
I just purchased the Sunday Riley Luna Oil…and then my VIP Discount Code came in the mail, and I’m like dangit! Could of saved $20!
YES to naps! Sunsets are always beautiful, but I love experiencing them while on the beach 🙂
At 35 weeks I’m stressed about not feeling ready, especially compared to before the first was born. And said kiddo is having a tough time, he must have had 20+ meltdowns yesterday. And I just spent his entire nap prepping and recording a video that turned out terrible. Sigh! I’d love to just record it again now, but that would be sticking the hubby on toddler duty alone on the weekend and he’d likely freak out if he could hear me talking but not be allowed in the room. At least tonight is our special treat dinner, either we’ll go out with the munchkin or get takeout. Okay, enough whining!
A brand that is hard for me to pronounce is giambattista valli 🙂
My last Sephora purchase was the Too Faced Love Flush blush in Justify My Love. It’s my fourth one of these blushes; I already have Baby Love, Love Hangover, and I Will Always Love You. The packaging is adorable as is the imprint, but the best things about the Love Flush blushes are the colors and pigmentation. ♥
I love the fragrance “Romance” by Ralph Loren. I spritzed on a little of the new one (or at least new to me as it’s the first time I noticed it) called “Midnight Romance” from the tester bottle at the store the other day and it smelled heavenly! I was disappointed that the scent only lasted about an hour though. But maybe that’s because I only did 2 sprays. I’ll have to go back and spray a little more liberally and see it the scent lasts. I hope it does, because I’d love to treat myself to a bottle of that if it will hold it’s scent a while. I love perfume, but sometimes it seems like we are going backwards and making it less potent as time goes on. I hate that, I want to smell good all day long!
My neighborhood has absolutely beautiful sunsets. I think that is why it is called the Sunset District. 🙂
St Maarten has absolutely beautiful sunsets
The weather is getting weird here. Where it’s super hot at day but ultimate freezing at night >_<
I don’t own a leather jacket, but would love to have one in the future. I love the look of outerwear and how easily it can change any outfit. I splurged last year on two trench coats and wearing them instantly makes me feel more put-together.
Big Sur has absolutely beautiful sunsets!
So many places have beautiful sunsets, but I do love the sunsets over Maui!
(I just went with my mom for her 80th bday and Ive been there before but…) Ive always known that Sanibel Island, Florida has the most beautiful sunsets ever. YOU. MUST. GO. THERE.
Ft lauderdale where I live has absolutely beautiful sunsets! The pictures that I could show you ??
I sadly do not own a leather jacket but I’ve been on the hunt for one lately.
I store my makeup in my bedroom but have a basket with products I use everyday and just add blush and e/s of the day. I take the basket into the bathroom add aplly there as the lighting isbetter 🙂
My last Sephora purchase was Ardency Inn eyeshadow. Can’t wait to try them.
I have 2 leather jackets that are perfect for this time of year!
My last Sephora purchase was Smashbox primer. I ran out and it’s the only thing that really helps my foundation to last all day.
The “Curl Cream” hair care by Verb was my last Sephora purchase 🙂
I got the Tarte holiday palette!
Makeup info is always wonderful. But “Tabs” makes me smile the most! <3 georgette
It’s fun to read your reports from classes you attend!
Karen, I have been reading your blog for over 2 years and it has only just hit me that you have the same name as my mom! Why this is such a big revelation tonight I’m not sure; but it has increased my affinity for you twice over.
My last Sephora purchase was a Marc Jacobs New Nudes Lipstick in Understudy for my birthday. But with the holidays coming up, I’d really like to go back and get something nice for my mom. She likes looking at make up but keeps things pretty simple for herself, so this year I’m thinking of investing in some high quality basics for her presents.
The longest I’ve been away from home….4 years (and going) this year 🙂
My last Sephora purchase was Champagne Pop! And the longest I’ve been away from home is a year!
My last Sephora purchase was UD Primer Potion. I’m always stocking up, even though I don’t like the new applicator. I miss the squeeze tube and don’t know why they changed back!
I wish I WISH I owned a beautiful black leather jacket.
I never know if I’m pronouncing Guerlain right. It doesn’t look that hard, but it’s French, so I’m probably mucking it up. I was intimidated by Illamasqua and Fyrinnae, but they are actually easy to say, just look a little difficult!
My last Sephora purchase was a month or so ago – all I got were some Shiseido (wait – add that to the list of unpronouncables!) facial cottons and OMG were they worth it! I’ve been using cheap cotton rounds for years and not thinking too much about it, but then I read about these and decided $9 wasn’t too much of a loss if they didn’t live up to the hype – but they do!! No shedding, super soft, and they don’t fall apart, no matter how saturated they are. Plus they are huge, so I can cut them in half and still have plenty.
I let my VIB status lapse this year, so I’m a wee bit jealous seeing all the haul posts, but also living vicariously through them! 😀
Tucson, Arizona, has spectacular sunsets. My last Sephora purchase was two Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks — love them!
The last thing I got at Sephora is the Becca highlighter in Champagne Pop. It’s so good!! Now I’d love to get the Kat von D shade + light palette. Fingers crossed 🙂
My last purchase at Sephora was yesterday 11/6/15.
The Bay Area has beautiful sunsets! There is nothing like a fall sunset, the skies turning pink and orange, fog unfurling over foothills, the Golden Gate Bridge visible on the horizon…
My longest trip away from home was study abroad in Brest, in France. Best time of my life.
Last Sephora purchase was, among other things, the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening powder. I believe you rec’d it, Karen. Love it!
My last Sephora haul was Juliette Has A Gun sampler, Bite Mix & Mingle with Pomegranate and Palamino, Bite Kir Royal and a full bottle of Tokyo Milk Dark Bittersweet.
I need Kat Von D liquid lipstick in the shade Lolita in my life
Traveling to Japan at the age of 16 gave me a flurry of emotions. It was with an ambassador program through my high school. One on hand, the culture was deeply invested in me during that time. It was also the first time I was homesick. Love the memories I’ve retained, and those triumph over everything else.
My last sephora purchase was the ambient lighting powders and becca shimmering perfector in opal (liquid); I wanted to be glowy for my wedding!
Well since this is VIB Rouge weekend my last purchase at Sephora was yesterday. I purchased a Sunday Riley set, Bare Minerals foundation, bras pencil, eyeliner, and a few gifts.
My last Sephora purchase was Urban Decay’s eye primer potion. There are so many goodies I want to buy!
My last Sephora purchas was Friday. My second to last Sephora purchase was also Friday. 😉
The farthest I’ve ever been from home is Austria, to visit extended family. I need to go back again!
I was in Ulta once and asked for “Poorminerals.” I think it might’ve been the right pronunciation, but I felt silly.
Last Sephora purchase: way too much stuff. I’ll let you know how it turns out…?
Last purchases from Sephora were Soap and Glory body set. I’m crazy for those!
Sanibel Island, Florida has beautiful sunsets!❤️
hi!!!
Farthest from home… Manila!
Love sunsets… I get the feels and joy of life. Sunrises too.
Omg, girl… Sephora! VIB sale… Went nuts online and instore. I just got home from it. I bought my sister a KAt Von D eye palette for Xmas, beauty blender for stocking stuffers, one treat yo self Christian Dior lipstick … ( thought of you when I saw the Sephora concealer serum, I’d have tried it but I got the Bare Minerals one from Ulta a month ago )
The longest I’ve traveled from home was when I was in college. I spent a semester at Cambridge University in England…so much fun!
I placed an online Sephora order last night (VIB Rouge 20% off + Ebates cash back = WINNING!) & I went to the store today. I bought WAAAAAY too much stuff, including the Shiseido Bio-Performance Glow Revival Serum, two Sephora face masks (Honey & Pearl), a Dior Diorific Mat Lipstick (760 Fabuleuse), Cover FX Custom Infusion Drops (C + Radiance) & Bite Beauty Best Bite Rewind Set.
Shiseido is a tongue twister for me.
Oklahoma has absolutely beautiful sunsets
Willemstad has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
A brand name that’s very hard for you to pronounce?
Yves Saint Laurent
Do you own a leather jacket?
I use to, a faux leather but when I come back home I didn’t know how to take care of it like it should and was damaged.
What’s the longest you’ve ever traveled away from home?
Holland so many km 5 hours difference
What was your last Sephora purchase?
that may be in 2008 I bought a Barbie by cake solid perfume, the best perfume I ever had
Could use this for the big sale
You’re the best blogger! I love your reviews. I hope you consider doing tutorial videos again 🙂
So many starter suggestions- Idk where to begin..I’ll just go with some..
I don’t own any leather jackets- I wish I did! (I live in FL & we don’t wear jackets that often).
I never know if I’m pronouncing the following brands correctly: Guerlain, Bvlgari, Yves St. Laurent, etc.
I store my makeup in their boxes in my room (I thought I was the only one that did that! lol)
My last Sephora purchase was the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Champagne Glow Palette.
My actual last makeup purchase was the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick holiday bundle. I hope Sephora will eventually carry the brand. I’m missing six shades from the line. I want to eventually try the lip scrubs & Lip Ammunition.
The Mojave Desert has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
Holy Moley VIB Rouge sale! How is that you can leave with two lipsticks, a concealer, a blush, a travel primer, and some nail polish remover and feel like you left them your life savings? I still need some stuff online… Seriously, though- bite beauty in Meritage was TOTALLY worth it. Love it. I came home and washed my face to put the new stuff on, hahaha!
I don’t think my previous comment registered since it gave me an error once I posted and I can not find it here. I mentioned that I witnessed the most beautiful sunset in Bermuda a few years ago. And the last thing I purchased at Sephora was a Clarisonic Mia replacement brush head.
The last thing I purchased from Sephora was the new Hourglass palette-and I love it.
I spent 3 months travelling in Europe nearly 8 years ago! It was amazing! Furthest I’ve been from home and also the longest time spent away from home, but it was wonderful! 🙂 We did 12 countries and 21 different cities during that time.
I’m leaving my job at the end of the month since it’s become such an unhealthy place to work in (55+ hours a week, among other things). It’s pretty scary, but I’m looking forward to becoming a happier person!
Any of the French brands are impossible for me to pronounce! I always end up pronouncing them the Spanish way since I only ever learned Spanish 😛
My last sephora purchase was the KVD liquid lipsticks. Btw I started going to the sephora classes based on your recommendation and I love them thank you.
My last Sephora purchase was the Tarte Energy Noir Palette for my birthday. I love the blush and the highlight, not so much the eyeshadows. They were pretty chalky.
Thanks for the chance. This would be great to get some holiday gift sets.
Last sephora purchase was the ysl bb cream and the cinema secrets brush cleaner!
Hmm I think my last sephora purchase was a makeup forver foundation
It’s been a while since I’ve bought anything at Sephora. I think my last purchase was a Nars Audacious Lipstick.
Bought a Becca palette after watching your review video! Thanks for keeping it real, Karen and Tabs!
traveled for 2 month in hong kong
Oh no! Just when I spent a whole month’s rent at the VIB/R sale, the chance to spend *another* $50! ( I guess that’s why I’m rouge LOL) oh well, I am mad at you. I’m sure I could find a new pretty to love!
Vancouver has absolutely beautiful sunsets!
I totally took a pre-dinner nap today 🙂
Haven’t been in here for a while, but I really like the sunset question because I saw some remarkable sunrises and sunset while on business and its flying in an airplane to LA before the sun rises and set, and most recently, I saw the same while taking the ferry back to and from Solano county into SF. Amazing!!!!
Wisconsin (my home state) has absolutely beautiful sunsets! I lived in the Bay Area for 3.5 years and I can’t recall seeing as many gorgeous sunsets there as there are here.
The brand I have trouble pronouncing is Montagne Jeunesse. They actually decided to change the product name to 7th Heaven while keeping the brand name Montagne Jeunesse because people had so much problems saying the name. The masks are very nice.
I store my makeup in my room! On my vanity table. My collection is slowly taking over the room tho 😉
My latest purchase from Sephora was the Kate Sommerville CytoCell Dark Circle Corrective Eye Cream.
I have to say that it takes a lot more in college to stay motivated to look good than high school.
My parent’s front porch has beautiful sunsets – you can watch the sunset reflected on the water of the pond while sitting on the rocker on the porch. The sunsets are especially beautiful in the fall and I love watching them when I visit.
Sephora Australia has recently gone live!
I was at Sephora tonight armed with my 20% off Rouge card. I bought a new beauty blender, the little $19 Buxom lip set, a Dior lipstick and a Clinique pop lipstick. All 3 lip brands are new to me so it will be fun to use them!
Last purchase at Sephora was almost a year ago I bought my niece the Anastasia brow Wiz pencil.
I do not own a leather jacket, but i love to have one.
My last Sephora purchase was the Sunday Riley Breathable Tinted Primer!
I LOVE SEPHORA!!!
The last time I left Sephora, I came home with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Infusion, the Bite Lipstick Mix and Mingle in Scarlett and Mulberry, and the Sephora Rouge Infusion Lip Stain in Cherry Nectar. Have a great weekend! 🙂
My last sephora purchase was the kat von d lolita duo, I can’t wait for it to come in!
I have never bought anything from Sephora (GASP) I know, right! Went into my Seohora for the first time about a year ago just to browse…but didn’t buy anything. Then, while visiting San Fransisco, went into one with intention to buy something.. Settled on an eyeliner…but alas it was out of stock. I didn’t have the heart to pick out something else. Will gladly go back and try again though, lol.
I just want crazy during the vib rouge sale yesterday! I got six Makeup Forever artist shadows, Bobbi brown shimmer brick in nectar, two Ardency Inn eye shadows, and the Marc Jacobs The Free Spirit no.20 palette!
The longest I’ve ever traveled away from home is 2 weeks.
I have trouble pronouncing (and spelling) the brand Kevyn Aucoin.
Houston has lovey sunsets
The longest I’ve been away from home was 2.5 week. We were in London and we had a great time. It felt weird to home for so long but it was nice to go home.
So, my last trip to the mother ship, aka sephora, was supposed to be me with blinders on and running in to get my vib birthday gift and getting the heck out. What actually happened was seeing all the cute impulse buys they have near the register and getting a Dr. Dennis Gross alpha beta peel, a cute tree ornament with nirvana white in it, a mini benifit roller lash, and a couple of the new sephora sheet masks, so. On the plus side, I did come out of sephora with a much smaller bill than usual! 😉
My last purchase was the Kat von D Lolita duo! I also picked up the Shiseido Nourishing Mascara base and one of the Sephora Cream Lip stains to compare to KvD’s liquid lipsticks.
Don’t own a leather jacket!
Just bought winter tires… adulting is hard (expensive) 🙁
My last Sephora purchase, over a year ago was Sephora brand foundation & concealer, plastic blow dry clips & a pore reducing primer. I’d love a little treat for myself before the holidays ❤️
My last Sephora purchase was Dr Brandt No More Needles Kit, Lancome primer and Laura Mercier Metals and Matte pencils. I must admit, I’m a Sephora addict.
My last Sephora purchase was the amazing Urban Decay Vice 4 palette?
My last Sephora order came this week and it included a Dior Diorshow mascara, Clinique Pink Honey lip balm and some hair ties.
I certainly go to sephora way too much. Its not good when employees start greeting you by name…
Happy Saturday!
I own a faux leather jacket.
Actually dying to get this weekend over with. It’s been incredibly stressful. Bring on the week!
santorini has the best sunset!!!!!
The longest I’ve been away from home is 6 weeks, I stayed in the mountains and gorged on gorgeous food, people who come for long stays would teach the locals their cuisines, and so I tasted lots of interesting food. The last trip away was to the USA for 6 weeks again, and I took the Amtrak to Yosemite and LA and San Diego and Tahoe, it was a lot of fun as most people I knew in the US hadn’t ridden on Amtrak, they usually drive or fly.
I store my makeup in a Sephora Vacationer bag. It’s the one in Still Life Alchemy which is a beautiful shiny ox blood color on the outside and floral print inside. It was part of a collection released earlier this year. Everything was so gorgeous but I knew I wouldn’t be able to buy any of it. But it went on sale about 2 weeks ago and I got it!! So happy with it!
Bwahahha found my old comment while looking for reviews of the mirror in still life alchemy! It’s available on sale for $7!! I plan to buy it tomorrow hoping it stays in stock til then!!
The last thing I bought was about 80% of Sephora during the VIB Rouge sale! Seriously though highlights were the Marc Jacobs Style Eye Con holiday palette and the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca palette.
Last thing I bought at Sephora the Nars contour blush in Paloma. Hoping to get some Becca things for the VIB sale next week!
It’s a chilly, foggy morning here in Cambridge, U.K. The leaves are all fallen from the tree outside my window, and I’m trying to psyche myself up for a run!
Hi Tabs!
Alghero in Sardinia has absolutely beautiful sunsets! I know they shot a scene in a Bond movie on the cape the sun sets behind.
Do you own a leather jacket? Nope. I’d get one in faux leather if I really liked it, but I rarely do.
I keep some of my makeup in the fridge because germs.
Hi!! I just found you on YouTube! You are a breath of fresh air! I’m on a video binge right now!! Hope to win. 😀
Monaco has absolutely beautiful sunsets!
My last Sephora purchase was Decleor cleansing oil ! Amazing product !
Hi Karen ! My last purchase was my Clarins moisturizer “Eclat du Jour”.
And I don’t know how to pronounce Givenchy (“Giveinchy” or “Givanchy” ?)even though it’s a french brand and I live in… France (I know, I totally suck !)
xo
Croatia has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
I have never purchased anything by sephora, but I would really like to try it out 🙂 and I do have a leather jacket…
Hi Karen, hv a nice weekend!!!
The farthest away from home I have been is florida from Califonia. I’ve been out of country to visit a few places in Mexico. Have a great weekend!
I don’t own a leather jacket, but I have always wanted to have one
Hi Karen!
I keep all of my travel very linear-I’ve never left the western hemisphere-but I’ve explored Canada and Argentina and many places in between! Someday I will break out of this hemisphere…
Thank you so much for switching back to Sephora prizes – I only use cruelty free make up so haven’t been able to enter any of the MAC ones 🙁
My last purchase from Sephora was my only ever purchase from Sephora and it was a massive holiday splurge since we don’t have it in the UK – I restocked my hourglass ambient lighting powder, got the ambient lighting blush in diffused heat, three Kat Von D lipsticks (but no lip liquid as they’d sold out of Lolita and bow and arrow – boooo!), Too Faced Kabuki and mascara. Could have easily bought the whole shop so would love to win and get my hands on a few more bits!
Last sephora purchase was chloe roses perfume. I’m not shopping the vib sale. I have more pressing plans which I will write about and maybe IG when I get back. Oh I don’t own a leather jacket , I was so close to getting one, nordstrom,- hinge brand but it didn’t fit over my breast. Ugh I was so wanting that jacket but I would rather it zip up more.
Have a question if you away on vacation do u put a few up on IG right then and there or wait till u come back and put up photos?
Oh yes, my weekend involves lots of naps. I actually fell asleep on the couch at 9 pm last night…
The last thing I bought at Sephora was a Too Faced La Crème lipstick. I really like those, I’d like to get a few more.
Of course i have a leather jacket. i have several. Whenever I wear one people think i’m cooler than I really am, and I support that.
I have never purchased anything from Sephora but would like the chance to! The SEPHORA concealer you posted about the other day is something I really NEED to try! As I also use NARS RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER and would like to see how it compares!
Makeup is sadly stashed “sa banyo”. But we are moving this week to a new house and my hubster bought me a table to use as a vanity! I so excited.?
Success is the only option because I like SEPHORA
I’ve never had one but I would like to have one of these premium cards!
I do own a leather jacket, it’s ridiculously comfy and one of my favorite items items!
The Mar Menorr (Murcia, Spain) has beautiful sunsets 🙂
A brand that’s super hard for me to pronounce is Guerlain! Thankfully I’m not too crazy about their product line for my kit so I don’t have any of their products that I might need to tell a client about!
Love ur blog and Youtube videos.Watching holiday sets from all the brands make it more interesting.
I just did a complete makeup storage overhaul last month. I purchased the luxe acrylic makeup storage bins/stacking trays from the Container Store – love them!!! They’re a little pricey, but so worth the investment…
I have been gone from home for a week at the most.
The longest I have traveled from home was to Hawaii for my honeymoon! 🙂 I have no idea if I pronounce Christian Louboutin correctly or not! The only item I have from that designer is nail polish and I don’t think I will ever own anything else from him, LOL!! 🙂
How cool you are doing another give away. I tried for the Mac one. My last purchase from Sephora was the holiday Too Faced holiday set Le Grand Palais. I love the sparkly eyeshadows and it comes with blush, a bronzer, highlighter, and my favorite mascara. I got the set they had last year also and love that one too!!!
My last Sephora purchase was yesterday. It was the Clinique Pink Honey Affair shadow palette. I am really liking it so I may go back and get the Everyday Gray’s palette before the VIB sale is over. Gotta love 20% off!
I REALLY WANT TO WIN 🙂
I would love to own a leather jacket!
I don’t own a real leather jacket but I own three faux leather jackets! 🙂
My last Sephora purchase … well, actually that was almost a year ago when I was on vacation in Florida and I bought the amazing “Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot” as I’m a blush addict and have simply been too much of a Scrooge to invest into their individual blushes.
Right now, most of my make up lives under my kitchen table, I still need to make room in my cupboard to fit it all in!
My last Sephora purchase was the Smashbox Always Sharp Lip liner in Nude Fair. I love it!
What was your last Sephora purchase?
My last Sephora purchase was Kat Von D foundation, pressed powder, black eyeliner pen and mascara! I love Kat’s products and can’t wait to pick up some more!
Hawaii has the most beautiful sunset♡
Just now, I placed a huge (gulp!) Sephora order… I used my 20% off coupon to repurchase things I regularly run out of, plus I ordered a fancy-schmancy blow-dryer that’s supposed to dry my hair really fast and get rid of frizz with minimal effort… we’ll see. And for fun I added a couple of lipsticks that I’ve been dying to try but that aren’t carried in-store anywhere near me, and a fourth Viseart eyeshadow palette (Paris Nudes). Like I said, huge (gulp!) order — but, I just had to put that coupon to work.
My last Sephora purchase (besides my Play! by Sephora subscription box) was a new lip gloss/stain from the store’s brand and the UD Naked on the Run palette.
Even though it is pronounced exactly like it is spelled, I think Shiseido is a tricky one!
Tulum has absolutely beautiful sunsets!!!
I do not own a leather jacket but do own a pleather jacket.
My last purchase from Sephora was a beauty blender and a contour kit from MUFE
Yes i love my leather jacket!
I store my makeup on my dresser!
i love sephora so much. my husband bought me urban decay naked 3 at sephora for my birthday and a few days later i received nars lip liners from them and i love their samples with every purchase 😀
My last Sephora purchase was an online haul for the VIB Rouge 20% off. I bought Dermadoctor Calm, Cool, & Corrected cream (WAY overpriced so I only buy for 20% off or the rare times it’s on Haute Look), Anastasia brow powder duo, and Urban Decay Ultimate Ozone pencil. Things I regularly use.
My last sephoria purchase was the first aid beauty eye cream. It comes in 2 colors it is wonderful in making your dark circles diminish and hydrates the underr eye.. makes you look awake and readyv for the day with no makeup needed… try it out you will loveit…
I was gifted a lovely leather jacket by my boyfriend when we started dating. It’s extra warm and comfy to wear because I have such great memories attached to it!
Going into Sephora is like Christmas all year long. So many great products…Love!
My last Sephora purchase was a gift card for a friend and a Bite Beauty lipstick for myself! My first Bite Beauty purchase, lipstick in Shiraz. I am obsessed with the color and want to purchase the Mauvember shade during the VIB sale. Hope they get it back in stock in time as it’s sold out right now. Hope you’re feeling as good as you look! Take Care.
My last Sephora purchase was a face powder and a concealer by Maybelline.
I bought the ambient lighting powder from Hourglass, but was so disappointed in it 🙁 Wish it worked better on my skin tone… BUT I do love your blog 🙂
last time i was there i bought peppermint body wash and some eye liner.
I have a makeup obsession, and love going to Sephora!
Thanks so much for the amazing giveaway! As for a brand that’s difficult to pronounce, I can never seem to say L’occitane correctly! 🙂
My last sephora purchase was the anastasia dipbrow pomade!
I don’t own a letter jacket but, I would love to have one. 🙂
The longest I’ve ever travelled from home was about a week! I don’t know if I could handle much longer lol. Hope it’s been a great weekend, Karen!
Hope your day involved a nap!
My last Sephora purchase was Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue!
The last purchase I made at Sephora was the Kat Von D Monarch Palette. Its been a long time ?
My last beauty purchase was the W7 eyeshadow palette in Lightly toasted.
My last Sephora purchase was, a $100 gift card for my sister’s birthday! She loved it so much!
I am very excited to have another nephew join my family! He was born October 26, 2015…and is just adorable!!!
I store my makeup in the bathroom closet where I keep towels, sheets and toilet paper.
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
I’m so excited for the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Pallette!!!!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to have a Sephora in Germany or even just all these awesome brands. But the selection is quite limited.
Hi!! I keep my makeup in my bathroom drawers! Allows me to see everything!
My last Sephora purchase was the Hourglass Ambient Edit palette and I absolutely love it !
Laura Mercier. Is it “mers-ier” or “mer-see-eh”????
Hawaii has beautiful sunsets. Wish I was there!
I store my makeup in an ikea vanity piece that has a long drawer as well as a clear acrylic set of drawers on top of my vanity.
L’occitane en provence. Even after learning french for 4 years, I still am never sure if I’m pronouncing it correctly lol
I divided my makeup into two rooms: the larger stash is in a large drawer in the entryway, with all my brushes and the stuff for longer/difficult makeups. All of my loose mineral powders are in there. Then I have a small drawer in the bathroom, where I keep the products that are easier to apply, for a rush makeup in the morning.
I would like to win this gift card to give to my sister for christmas
I don’t think anyone knows how to say Chantecaille. Oh and Caudalie. A salesperson once gave me some serious attitude for mispronouncing Caudalie.
Thank you so much for offering this giveaway every week! I am so excited for you to meet your baby girl! My daughter is a March baby too and my dad was born in March. It is such a good month! Plus, the birthstone aquamarine is so pretty. I’ve been reading your blog for at least a few years and am so happy you’re gonna be a mom. Take care of yourself and a little caffeine is ok. Just don’t go nuts lol.
Really looking forward to Black Friday(in Canada)
Looking forward to the Sephora sale this week!
•What was your last Sephora purchase?
No Sephora purchase for me as im in Australia….but apparently its coming!
My last purchase from Sephora was the Sephora Favourites Give Me Some Lip set!
I’m currently cleaning the kitchen and my foundation still looks great. It’s from CoverFX.. The custom drops. I need to have more from this brand. Yay!
My last purchase at Sephora was Philosophy body wash. I love their stuff
Sleep and rest are important and I could use a quieter environment to do more of that.
Last Sephora purchase was the Kat Von D shade light eye palette and I am obsessed! It is perfect for those with hooded eyes 🙂 yaaaassss!
My last purchase from Seohora was hourglass lipstick and I love it. It wears very well.
I really need to stop trying samples of really expensive beauty products out of curiosity when I think the prices are outrageous. I don’t know if anyone else has this problem because occasionally (like today) I end up falling in love with a product and having to talk myself off the ledge. I just tried a sample of the Natura Bisse The Cure Sheer Cream with SPF 20. It is beautiful. I’m hoping the Bobbi Brown Extra SPF 25 Tinted Moisturizing Balm is similar enough so I don’t do something stupid. Writing about this feels like beauty addiction therapy, lol.
Hey Karen! Thanks for the giveaway!!! So, the last thing I bought at Sephora is the Marc Jacobs remarcable foundation, the Marc Jacobs holiday lipstick set, and the Sephora Soko to Tokyo set. I love all of them. The lipstick formula is one of my faves and a beautiful friend introduced me to the foundation, she so kindly sent me a sample of it from hers and I fell in love.
Love Sephora! Even though there are so many other options now (Bluemercury, Ulta, etc) I am still Sephora-obsessed. I’m about to treat myself to a whole new makeup routine since I’m about to start a new job (for the first time in almost 10 years!) and I can’t wait! I wish we had more classes available where I live, but there are never any listed. Take advantage of it!
My last Sephora purchase was on Friday! I went to a Sephora in JC Penney to pick up one of their exclusive sets with the discount.
Cool site
Hope you had a nice weekend! Mine was spent spending money at Sephora… this sale vib sale is a double edged sword! savings and spendings lol
Hi Karen!
My last Sephora purchase was on Bare Minerals Discover Complexion Rescue and Bareskin. I wanted to know how much those too can cover my flecks!
I actually own three leather jackets! They’re my fashion addiction.
Hawaii and Cabi San Lucas have beautiful sunsets. There are a lot of make up brands I can’t pronounce nor can I spell them. I don’t use a brand I can’t pronounce because they are usually expensive ?
California has absolutely beautiful sunsets!
A brand name that’s very hard for you to pronounce? Chanticlellience or whatever it is. I try to avoid it as much as possible. 😀
Do you own a leather jacket? No.
What’s the longest you’ve ever traveled away from home? Probably Hawaii, although Baltimore may have been further away, it was still the mainland, so it didn’t seem as far.
What was your last Sephora purchase? Just ordered the Ardency Rose gold pigment set.
Where do you store most of your makeup at home? It’s kind of all over. I have too much stuff and not enough space, so there’s some on my little vanity, some in the living room, some on my desk. You get the picture.
I’m struggling with hibernation mode too, although it is more of me feeling reluctant to pick up my textbooks again after a long work week than anything else!
However, I will be good again. Because Walking Dead! Glennnnnnnnn!!!!
Arizona has absolutely beautiful sunsets! They’re like nothing I’ve seen anywhere else.
I need to send you and Holly a photo of yesterday!
My last purchase from Sephora was face powder few years ago and i love it!!!!!
I used do political work in the capital, and wearing my leather trenchcoat jacket made me feel like a character in Scandal 😉
A name that I like but can’t pronounce is Illamasqua! All I can think about is masked llamas…
I actually own a leather jacket, yeah. But only one and I never get to wear it much 😡
My last Sephora purchase was actually last year’s Black Friday sale. I have been trying to purchase less makeup this year and use what I have or let go of it, my stash is taking over my bathroom. But this year I have a list, starting with the Kat Von D Lolita set!
I think my favourite shade of Lancôme teint idole 24 has been discontinued. I can’t find 510 anywhere. ThiS sucks.
I own two leather jackets: a black and a red one.
Great questions!! My last purchase at Sephora was Bare Minerals loose foundation. Love your site!!
My last Sephora purchase was also my first! Just last week I was in the US for vacation and it was my first time inside a Sephora store. I picked up the Superstars favorites and I’m so excited to use all of them because I’ve only ever tried the Benefit mascara, all the rest are firsts (yey a beauty blender, finally)! I also bought a Sephora lip cream stain in Blackberry Sorbet and a small Tokyo Milk fragrance sampler set.
No leather jacket here. I store my makeup in three drawers of my bathroom vanity.
anywhere in Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) has gorgeous sunsets. There’s a place called Aquinna (I don’t think I spelled it right) and they have gorgeous cliffs. Edgartown is also very upscale and has a gorgeous lighthouse…..
At this time, I do not own any real leather jackets but I do own 2 gorgeous ‘minus the leather’ jackets from Express.
I have been having a tough time getting out of bed too lately…. with the clocks changing and it getting dark here by 430/5pm it just stinks…I want to hibernate all winter. I hate Massachusetts since we only get like 4 months of nice weather. I hate the july heat. I hate the December thru march snow. I need to move lol but I don’t know where….
Anyway= thanks for the weekly chance at a Sephora card- I hope to get lucky one of these weeks because I really am looking for a nice foundation….
oh and if you need to reach me for any reason (like if I get lucky hehe)- I am not sure if you can see the email that I am commenting with but if you can’t, you can reach me at cstone412.cs@gmail
ty again.
and that mac palette that you are holding in your header pic- I so want the cool palette! it is absolutely gorgeous~!
I ♡ Sephora!!!!
Marquette, MI has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
Lol my last sephora purchase was a couple of days ago; I literally ordered a cheap $5 thing so that I could also get the Nest perfume point perk. I love those scents so much 😀 I will be ordering lots more though, during the upcoming sale
A brand name that’s very hard for you to pronounce? Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy, especially if I’m required to do it in the proper accent.
Do you own a leather jacket? 1 leather hand me down and a few fake leather jackets. I almost got another (minus the leather) jacket from Express today… but I am waiting for a sale.
What was your last Sephora purchase? Today! I watched your video on the gel serum concealer and bought 2!
Where do you store most of your makeup at home? In my vanity and IKEA drawers
i recently purchased and waiting in the mail for becca’s champagne glow palette and marc jacob’s new nudes sheer gel lipstick in understudy. i never been into highlighers, but all these highlighter/contour palettes that have come out are making me curious. also, all your posts about highlighters make them look pretty! 🙂
The longest I have been away from home is a year. I was so homesick, I decided to go to school closer to home

I own only one leather jacket in black.
I have a leather jacket but have yet to use it.
Key Largo has such pretty sunsets! Actually anywhere in the FL Keys has beautiful sunsets! And gorgeous water to go along with it 🙂
Hi Karen,
I have never bought make up from sephora… As a mother of 4 when I do get to buy new make up it’s usually whatever is on sale at shoppers lol. I have heard fantastic things about their products, and would look forward to purchasing some really good foundation.
such a beautiful day here in Dallas area!spent half of my day watching football and then last minute weekend shopping!
My last purchase was the Sephora concealer that you recommended.
ii grabbed a leather jacket in the zara sale and love it!
I don’t have a leather jacket but I have a jean jacket.
My last purchase at Sephora was a little nuts, I took advantage of the VIBR sale. I got: Sunday Riley Power Duo, NARS eyeshadow primer, Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, the wide tooth comb you recommended and the Sephora brightening concealer you recommended. I’m contemplating buying another Sunday Riley Power Duo.
Been snowing here all day and I hate it, winning this would be great.
My last Sephora purchase was MUFE’s hydrating primer and Clinique’s Mini Mask set. Nothing too exciting but I’m already planning what I’m going to order next month 🙂
Right now i am wearing sonic boom by sally hansen. Its a coral color !
My last Sephora purchase was the Becca Glow Palette because I thought it was a super limited release, but it’s still available! I still love and enjoy it 🙂
We have 1 1/2 bathrooms in our house, and the 1/2 bath houses my makeup collection! The cabinets are getting a little crowded, though… (That means time to buy more storage, not time to downsize the collection 😉 )
The farthest away from home I’ve ever been is to Dubai, UAE. Which is near the exact other side of the world for me so I guess that’s as far as I can get.
My last purchase was a few hours ago!! I got a few Shiseido things. I’m not 19 anymore and figured I’d better start taking care of my skin before it’s too late!
You wouldn’t think it but Pittsburgh has the best sunsets ever!
I do own a leather hacker, but my 11 yr old, who is just as tall as me, has taken it over. I don’t mind sharing.
I don’t own a leather jacket but I’ve always wanted to
The Florida coast has the best sunsets!!

Love your blog posts and YouTube videos! Hope you’ll do a review on MUFE’s 15 Artist Shadow Palette soon!
I went to the Sephora store yesterday and bought stuff in the sale, and I’ve spent most of my time since looking at the website for more things to use my discount on! #rougeproblems
Alaska has beautiful sunsets and sunrises! The best I’ve ever seen.
Hi Karen,
How do you announce the winner of these e-giftcards?
I think the tenderloin has the best sunsets in san francisco, but I am aware everyone in the city will disagree with me haha
I do own a leather jacket, in fact I have three : a black, à brown and a cream one.
My last Sephora purchase was a Marc Jacobs lipstick, and it is awwwwesome!!!
Oahu has some of the most gorgeous sunsets ever! So fun to wake up early and go surfing while watching the sunrise, and then relax and chill on the island as it sets.
Vancouver sunsets are AMAZING.
I have a leather jacket – and I’ve been wearing it for the past two weeks! I love it!
Toss up – Key West or Anna Maria Island for the best sunsets
I own everything a girl could possibly want (with the exception of Louboutins – or anything ‘that’ pricey for what it’s worth).
NOW, if it all FIT I would be very happy.
Sadly, I’m getting closer to retirement and can’t/won’t spend as freely as I used to.
I hope I win this card because if I don’t, it may be the first time I don’t order from the Sephora F&F. Oh well… I could probably survive for the next 6 months easy. LMAO ugh…:-D
My patio has beautiful sunset
Is Guerlain “gur-lehn” or “gur-lahn”?
I would lovvvve a leather jacket…
I don’t own a leather jacket, but I’m currently on the hunt for one!!
P.S. I love you blog. I checked it on the daily! Thank you for your tips and congrats on the babino!
I store all of my makeup in a desk in my room. It’s a work in progress right now. I spent some of the weekend working on organizing it, but there are still some changes I’d like to make.
I’m so jealous that you’re going to that class! I’ve been wanting to try the Kat VonD eye contour palette, but I’ve been too chicken 🙂 Let us know what you learn! You’re amazing!
I own a faux leather jacket. Its great.
Face wash was the last thing purchased.
I was waiting until the VIB sale (not Rouge yet) to score the Sephora Favorites Superstars, but I chickened out and ordered it last week… I was soooooo scared they were going to sell out! That set looks fantastic!!!!!
The farthest that I’ve traveled from home is New Zealand. It was amazing. The skies are so blue and the dairy so tasty, not to mention that the people were really cool.
Texas has absolutely beautiful sunsets. I’m biased. 🙂
Hi Karen,
I store the majority of my makeup collection in my IKEA Alex 9 drawer unit. I then have the Original Beauty Box (Deluxe), which houses some of my nicer makeup products like Chanel, Dior, Hourglass. I then purchased a cute box at Target, which will house my “Shop My Makeup Stash” Products that I want to use for the month or during a two week period.
I would love to use the gift card to purchase makeup to be used in my wedding. I’m in desperate need of some Anastasia eyebrow loot <3
Arizona has some beautiful sunsets. I think it’s just beautiful in general. Love the mountains.
I traveled to London 2 years ago & I was so nervous about traveling for 10 hours straight!! I don’t do well for 5 hours from California to NY or Miami as it is, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Maybe because I was so excited about visiting the Downton Abbey home!!
So, the last thing I bought from Sephora was the limited edition pack of Bite Beauty lip crayons that come in 4 colors. Love Bite, feel their formula is amazing…
I just did a good size order from Sephora on Friday, stocking up with the sale and trying a few new things. 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! 🙂
I traveled from Istanbul to New York at 18 years old, by myself!
Hope you had a great visit with your brother! And that the class was fun and informative! Please share on youtube with us! Thanks and have a great week! Oh, btw, I posted on IG and FB a short video of Simba snoring away. Too funny! Enjoy!!

I do not own a leather jacket 🙂
My last Sephora purchase was MUFE Aqua Brow which I absolutely love. I own two leather jackets (over the course of 20 years) but I really want to splurge on a scuba jacket with the asymetrical zipper.
Thank you for the giveaway Karen!
Hi Karen! Thank you for the giveaway!
My last purchase at Sephora was Kat Von D’s everlasting liquid lipstick in Lolita. It was the first full sized lipstick from the brand that I purchased, and I really loved it! Not really sure if it was from the ‘bad batch’ though, because it look brownier than I expected, hahaha. Anyway, it’s kind of a ‘vampy neutral’ and, well, I like it.
By the way, I love your blog but rarely comment. Keep up the good work! xoxo
The longest I’ve ever traveled away from home is when I studied abroad (in France) for a summer in college.
I had 20% off at Sephora for the Friends & Family sale, and treated myself to the Hourglass Ambient Highlighter palette! Now with another 20% off, I think I may get the Ole Henricksen gel cleanser and maybe a Dior polish. Darn coupons!!! 😉
The last thing I bought from Sephora was the Sephora brand solid brush cleaner. It comes with a nubby silicon pad to help get brushes super clean. It’s small enough to take along when you travel.
I picked up the Marc Jacobs the bronze brush yesterday and I’m in awe of it just looking at it…I almost don’t want to use it loll.. my next item on the list to get is a natural light coverage foundation ..I loved the Mac face body but I find the colour abit off …I think I may try the water weight since it looks so good on you!
I store my makeup in sterilite drawer containers. And I always had trouble pronouncing l’occitane.
My last Sephora purchase was their gel serum concealer and a kit from First Aid Beauty. This purchase made a VIB for the first time. I’m excited to be able shop the sale this year!
I want to move to the Dominican! It’s so beautiful there!
For a while, I didn’t know how to pronounce Stila. Was it Style-a? Steel-a? Still-a? And even though I asked at beauty counters, I heard different things each time. Then I heard Sandra Bullock say it on Miss Congeniality 2, and I figure they wouldn’t let their name be featured in a movie if it wasn’t said right, so now I say it the way she does. 🙂 Now on to tackle Givenchy!
My last purchases from Sephora have been their Play boxes. I like them a lot!
The longest I’ve traveled from home is actually now 🙂 I’m away for over 5 months and staying longer away. Living somewhere else i the most beautiful thing to do in my opinion. Your eyes will be opened to different languages, cultures and surroundings.
My last Sephora purchase was a bottle of UD De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray, I love that thing!
I do own a leather jacket, but unfortunately, I never wear it.
Colorado has the most beautiful sunsets!
I store my makeup in an IKEA alex and a storage unit I found in Office Depot damaged section.
I have been really into the Korean Beauty Trends. I’m dying to try out the May Coop Raw Sauce Essence from Sephora!
I’m usually good with pronunciations but for some reason I can’t say Guerlain right. I feel like every time I look it up I see a different pronunciation.
Hi there 🙂 I own several leather jackets. Can never have too many!
all I want for Xmas is a sephora gift card
My home Tucson, Arizona has the most beautiful sunsets
Maui has absolutely beautiful sunsets.
I love Sephora!!!
The longest I have been away from home is 2 1/2 years (I had been planning on 8 months but one place just led to the next). The farthest is Antarctica.
My last Sephora purchase was a Soap & Glory facial scrub.
I would LOVE to work at Sephora only so I could see myself surrounded by all that beautiful makeup and accessories all day everyday 😀 Really hope I win the gift card <3
Best gift ever! Senhora gif card is the best way to put a símile in a girl’s face!
I just bought Cover FX foundation & Ole Henriksen nurture me from Sephora after I attended the Flawless Foundation class. Thanks for letting us know about the classes! It was FANTASTIC!
I’ve decided to re-purchase Tocca Giulietta during the VIB sale this weekend!!
Made a last day VIB Rouge Sale run and got an Hourglass brow pencil and bronzer. Can’t wait to use them!
My makeup is stored in several places. The things I use most are in a train case that’s easy to move around and it holds a lot, I usually keep that on my bathroom counter. Extras and occasional use products (and costume make up) are in a storage container with drawers in a bathroom cabinet. And then I have some stuff in my vanity which is in another room. At first I thought I would always do my make up at the vanity but the mirror is too low (when I sit on the stool I have to slouch to see myself in the mirror) and the lighting is not as good.
La Jolla has beautiful sunsets! I love watching the sun set over La Jolla Cove.
I have no idea how to say Guerlain! I think I’ve heard most other difficult-to-pronounce brand names out loud, but not that one. I don’t know any French, so it’s a mystery to me!
The longest I’ve been outside the country (I live in the US) was when I lived in Beijing for three months. It was hard sometimes adjusting and being so far from home, but it’s such an awesome place. I’d love to go back (probably not for three months though!)
Getting out of bed is so hard for me lately as well- it’s freezing in the mornings! and no Sephora near me to encourage me to get up faster!
I own a leather jacket but don’t use it much.
Last Sephora purchase was 3 months ago….time to make some new purchases!
I’m from West Texas and I think it has pretty awesome sunsets : D
My last Sephora purchase was a few months ago sadly. On a bit of a no buy right now due to only working part time and, sigh, student loans, the bane of my existence, lol. I think my last purchase was my HG setting powder, Too Faced Prime and Perfect pressed powder. I love it! Great for oily skin. I am almost out of it again!!!
My las sephora purchase was the nars vengeful blush from the new steven klein collection, and its amazing!so diferent, I love it 🙂
I recently moved and cannot find a place that feels right for doing my makeup so I keep doing it in different places and am just waiting for that moment where I’m like ok this is it… nothing yet lol
Wow… only just found you, but am all ready loving your content! I havent been to sephora since moving to this small town Im in… I miss just being able to go in… not for a reason, but simply because I can… 🙁 I would really like to try some new looks… so I am glad I found this site. 🙂
I worship Sephora like a temple! When I walk out with a Sephora bag I am the happiest girl on the planet!
Colorado has the most beautiful sunsets.
It’s a beautiful Saturday, and I’m watching college football with hubs. I’d rather be shopping st Sephora 🙁
