Win a $50 Sephora eGift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog
Good morning, glory. 🙂 I hope your day got off to a wonderful start. I’m slowly waking up out here. Got my big Christmas mug filled with coffee in my paws, so that should do the trick. It’s a little chilly and overcast now, but it looks like the kind of gray that usually burns off by the afternoon. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I can’t recall having anything I’m supposed to do this weekend…at least nothing I can remember now, and that’s perfectly fine by me. Really, I’d just like to relax, maybe go to a late breakfast at Marvin’s, vacuum the house — correction, I’d like Tabs to vacuum the house, seeing as it’s his fur that gets all over the place — and maybe catch up on my reading and brainless TV.

Brainless TV. Ya know, nowadays, that’s my favorite kind. It’s comforting and easy to digest, like good porridge.

Of course, I just thought of a show that I’m looking forward to watching that doesn’t fit into the brainless TV category at all. It’s called Torchwood. Have you seen it? It’s sort of like the X-Files, Angel and Dr. Who all rolled into one. I loved the first few seasons when it was on BBC America. It’s been on a long hiatus, but it’s back again with a new season, and now it’s on Starz and takes place in LA (I believe). I missed the first episode last Friday. Gotta try and track that down…

Anywho, I’m going to plant myself on the couch for a few minutes, but I’ll be back soon.

Oh, I almost forgot. It’s also…

I don’t have a vanity table so I have to use my dresser and my IKEA Alex 9 drawer unit, where I store my makeup, as my makeup area. Both are in need of a little cleaning/organizing.

I’m working on it though, and hope to be able to go camping with him one day! 🙂 My OCD and hypochondria is up to the point where all my makeup and makeup brushes are cleaned and disinfected at least twice a week, every day if I could hahaha! On the plus side, it means I love my stuff 😀

    I was a “cowgirl” for a few summers when I was a teenager. Cows are very smart you know…. For example: Every “crack of dawn” and every evening I would walk up the hills or to the heyfield and herd the cows to the cowshed and usually they only had to see me to know what to do; walk to the cowshed. Well, one day I was in exceptionally grouchy mood, stomped to the fields towards the cows, expecting them to move as soon as they laid eyes on me. Oh, they saw me alright…. and they did.not.lift.a.hoof. Just looked at my with those big lazy we-know-you´re-in-a-bad-mood-and-we-soooo-cannot-be-bothered- eyes. After 30 min or so of eye scratching teenager tantrum, my boss, the farmer, came and relieved my of my duties….. And of course, OF COURSE the frigging, and might I add, SMUG, cows moved their lazy a** as soon as the farmer showed his face!

    Not my finest moment….

    It’s funny you said camping as I was just talking to my boyfriend about it the other day. I of course did the requisite Girl Scout camping when I was younger (and hated it) Now that I’m grown, though, I realize I come from a long line of females to which camping means spending a night in a hotel. True story, it’s totally roughing it. I mean limited outfit changes, the possibility of having forgotten something at home… terrifying.

    Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, I can’t wait to watch Torchwood either! I loved the seassons I saw on the BBCA. I missed the little special they had, Children of the Earth, I think it was called.

    Favorite female character….I’d have to think about that. You know there really aren’t many female characters that strike me as entertaining as many male characters. Maybe we need a good female anti-hero full of vices, snappy one-liners, and a metric ton of badassery. Mostly they just end up cheesily falling for some guy or just being a stereotype.

    I love camping. I prefer the type of camping where you hike to location, not back up your car and pull out a tent and cooler. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to go; it used to be me, the hub, and one dog, and all three of us would hike. Now we’ve got two dogs and a two year old, and one bad back and one fussy knee.

    I am wanting more of those Sephora jumbo, 12-hour wear, waterproof liners. I’m absolutely loving them, and they’re half the price as the UD version! I bought one in black and it wings out very nicely and lasts just as well as UD’s. I’m wanting 15 purple, 09 khaki and 07 brown. I don’t think their brown is going to be as nice as UD’s Wasteland, but it’s worth a shot!

My favorites from them are their 1-2 coat cremes like Teal and Grunge (amazing AMAZING pedi for deeper toned ladies like you and I) and for some reason their treatment system plays with my chemistry really well. If you have none of them, I’d like to you dip your toe into their collection with Grunge, 360 (if you ever find it! gah!), and Coral (eye searing pinky coral that makes men stop in their tracks and grab my hand. Well, maybe you don’t want that…).

    I’m slightly embarrassed to say I’m going to a NKOTB concert today. My bestie’s idea. She begged me. It’s a girls night. I’m debating doing 80s hair.

I’ve bought two so far, Gilty Pleasure & Fairy Teal, & they last for several days without chipping. Plus, I love the fact that I don’t need to bother w/base & top coats. When I do, I always end up w/tons of air bubbles. I can’t wait to add more colors to my collection! Enjoy your Saturday!

    My favorite nail polishes in the world are Galaxy Girl, Lunar Eclipse and Space Cadet from the ORLY Galaxy FX collection and have been ever since they came out! I’m a sucker for sparkly multi-chromes.

    Also, I picked up Impassioned lipstick with my latest round of Back2Mac empties after seeing your Unsung Heroes post on it. It’s AMAZING. Thanks for making me aware if it 🙂

    I love camping! every summer, my boyfriend and I take along a little 6X6 tent and set it up in random places we find. One time we set it upon the side of this little dirtbiking trail, on the bank of a river. It was the perfect place, except unfortunately we had no idea it was on a farmers property and were awakened to the sound of his tractor passing by our tent.

    I can’t think of any answers to your random questions today, so I’ll just talk about today. Part of the reason I can’t think is because I went grocery shopping and that always kills me. Today it almost literally did, because I got hit by one of those carts with the toy car on the front for kids. It just hit my in the middle of the calf, so it didn’t hurt, but it made my knee want to go out and when I tried to get my balance, my other leg didn’t want to cooperate, so I almost fell on the floor. Plus, it scared the crap out of me, so I “eeped” like a little girl. Now I’m hurting, because I must have twisted a few muscles trying not to fall.

    After that, I got my groceries home, took mom to Dunkin Donuts for coffee and to satisfy this cinnamon roll craving I’ve been having. We were not impressed, but then we went to Michael’s and craft geeked out on stuff. 😀

    i realize every time i write a comment, i have bought some make up item a few hours before…
    yesterday, i had an appointment at sephora to get my make up done, it was a pin up look with pink lips instead of red. i loved it so much that i had to buy the lipstick, sephora R10. its a fuchsia-pink lipstick, but i find it has a red tone to it, in my lips in pictures it can look as a bright red, in real life you can see its not. so my hunger for a neon pink lipstick begun. since theres no nars counter in my city, i couldnt get nars schiap, so today i went for the closest dupe i could find, after hours surfing on the internet. and that was mufe #36. i cant wait to wear it!!! i hope my pigmented lips dont wash the neon tone and end up with just another pink lipstick!
    i would love to know how mufe #36 compares to nars schiap…do i need to own both? or are they similar and i can live without schiap? please, share your thoughts!

    Gosh, the things I could purchase with a $50 Sephora gift card…..I would probably be at Sephora for the day trying to figure out what to purchase since I love everything. What a nice gift because it gives us the option to purchase whatever we want. Can’t beat that. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

    I love the look of so much HE makeup but can very rarely afford to buy it. I would love to know if drugstores really do have makeup (mostly e /s) that are basically the same? I mean are there any inexpensive eyeshadows that you could slip into a Mac or Lancome e/s pan and no one would be the wiser? I mean seriously – are there? :-).

    Thanks for the giveaway. I’m a new follower and I’m lovin your blog.

I remember during one of the school’s (mandatory!) cross country races, we had to run behind the milking shed. We were ankle deep on cow poop! Argh! But back then, it was a lot of fun! 🙂

Half an hour later the conversation had gone in a completely different direction and I still had to blurt out, “That’s SO incredible!”

I will miss Lanto and Captain Jack together. Breaking Bad is also an awesome show you should check it out , if you haven’t already. Although it’s a pretty dark drama and not so Sci-Fi as Torchwood and Dr. Who.

    Who’s your favorite female character on TV?
    Right now I am loving Gwen Cooper on “Torchwood”. She’s gorgeous, funny, smart, and a great mother who’s also really bad-ass with a gun. 🙂
    Have you ever worked on a ranch or a farm?
    Other than milking cows once on a dairy farm in Ireland, no.
    When you hear the word “beauty,” what’s the first word that pops into your head?
    “Woman”.
    Who makes your very favorite nail polish in the entire world?
    OPI. I love the brush and formula, both far superior to any other brand I’ve ever tried. I just wish that they made more unique colors like China Glaze.
    What do you think about camping?
    I hate camping! More specifically, I hate living in a tent. I’m not a very high maintenance girl. I can stay in a cabin in the middle of the woods without electricity, phone, TV, internet, air-conditioning, beauty products, etc… but I am just not happy without a shower, toilet, and a real bed.

    My current favorite nail polish is CND’s Shellac. I am really loving it. I tried OPI’s Axxium last year but it completely destroyed my nails in about 3 months. It was not quite as bad as acrylic nails, but I did have to keep them short for about a year while the damaged parts grew out. The Shellac doesnt seem to be damaging them the way Axxium did.

    Although you need to make sure to get it done at a reputable place! My normal spa was booked up one week when I wanted to my nails done because a girl was on vacation. I ended up going to one of those cheaper nail places and they did not do it properly and filed my nails down so much there was some permanent damage. My bad!

    Oh, Iong to be an outdoor girl who’s brave enough to camp! I have lofty dreams of camping in Yellowstone or Yosemite with my husband and three boys. We’ve even considered camping in our home state of Florida, but I am scared to death of snakes, alligators, and ticks…yikes!! I think I’d be a terrific camper in a $500,000 motor home, LOL, but my hubby’s idea of camping, which he did frequently as a boy, is sleeping on the ground (albeit on a blow up mattress) in a tent. The horrors!! A critter might crawl in or a bear might turn me into a human burrito! I’m such an indoor “princess”, it may take a little more convincing and compromising before I can give the great outdoors a try!
