Two Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora!

January 21st, 2012 by Karen 617 Comments

  • WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Bridget! Congratulations, Bridget! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

A Makeup and Beauty Blog Giveaway!

Well, it looks like we’ve gotten a brief respite from the rain this morning, yay! Shoot, I think I even see patches of blue in the sky. Of course, my office still feels like a dark, cold cave, but at least the freezing rains have stopped.

What’s the weather like over there? I hope not too rough. Are you hunkered down at home or out and about?

That reminds me, why do morning TV news shows always send reporters out into storms just to report back that there is, in fact, a storm? “Jane! Quick, get over to the Target parking lot, and get me some footage of the [INSERT INCLEMENT WEATHER HERE]!” And it’s usually a woman, and she’s usually in heels.

Maybe I should try that with blogging… “HI, EVERYONE! IT’S ME KAREN! I’M BLOGGING HERE FROM MY IPHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM!!! AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE DEBRIS FLYING AROUND ME, WE’RE STILL GETTING SOME VERY HIGH WINDS. THE RAIN IS COMING IN SIDEWAYS, MY MAKEUP IS A MESS, AND THERE’S A DOWNED POWER LINE OVER THERE!!! BACK TO YOU, TABS, IN THE STUDIO!”

Haha! No, I don’t think I’ll be giving that a try…

And you shouldn’t either. Better to stay indoors where it’s safe and warm, and where you can enter giveaways like this one here for a gift card from Sephora. 🙂

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

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, what’s your favorite kind of weather (tropical like Hawaii, dry and hot like Sacramento, foggy like Eureka, temperate like San Francisco)? Can you recommend a good face mask? What are your favorite TV shows? How many skincare products do you use in a typical day? What do you want to be when you grow up? What’s your current lipgloss crush? — you get the idea.
  • Second, you can enter by following me on twitter Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
    • Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/z76oEq

    It’s rainy in The Netherlands. It’s been rainy for a couple of days now. This weather is not my favorite weather. I love it when it’s sunny, but not too hot. So I’ve been inside watching a couple of my favorite shows, which are: Deadly women,T.I and Tiny’s family hustle, Jersey Shore, Family guy and surviving the cut.

    Yay giveaways! OKAY, here’s my answers:

    1. St. Helena mint julep face mask. Classic, and it rocks.

    2. Fave lip gloss crush? Laura Mercier glosses. So smooth and long lasting. Love the flavor, too.

    3. Favorite weather: Anything where I can experience a FALL! My soul needs to see beautiful changing leaves around. I love the mountains, so anything around a good mountain with lots of trees is my ideal location.

    4. Favie tv shows right now: Downton Abbey and Portlandia!

    5. I want to be a Pixar storyboard artist when I grow up.

    6. I use a Clinique day cream with SPF 25, dermatologica eye cream SPF 15, and Bobbi Brown’s intensely moisturizing night cream. That’s it! My face has been clear for a year now, love those products.

    Thanks Karen!

    Well, as being from Florida, it is so incredibly nice when the weather is breezy and you can take nice, long walk down the beach or in your neighborhood with your puppy. I love sitting outside when it’s that weather, so then you can read a book or eat your scrumptious breakfast. My current lipgloss crush isn’t a lipgloss, but actually a lip balm. It’s the clinique chunky cherry. It leaves a very pretty red color behind and works with most skin tones and moistures your lips! It is so cute and pretty, I’m just obsessed with it. Although i can’t recommend a good face mask, Nutrogena makes a great face wash that works so well. Its the Grapefruit one. It also smells super yummy. Switched at Birth, New Girl and Modern Family are my favorite TV shows. I started watching Jane by Design, which is pretty good as well. I’d like to be an interior designer when I grow up. I love sephora!

    I absolutely hate the snow and cold. I’m from Chicago, and it’s not fun at all here right now. True, this isn’t the worst winter that we’ve had, but it’s still annoying. The water coming out of our faucets is cold, since the pipes get cold. We also have to brush off the car constantly, and also plow and shovel snow. I love Chicago too much to move somewhere warm, so I just put up with it, which is easy to do since I’ve lived here my whole life. It kind of makes me feel a bit tougher, having to put up with our winters. XD

Also, during the summer I had one or two bug bites (I’m going to blame Central Park!) and I put a bit on each little red spot and they were practicly gone by the next day. Booyah.

    It usually takes hours for me to thaw out after shoveling the snow- luckily it was light and fluffy today but my legs are still freezing. I can’t believe this is the first real snow we’ve had this year (except for the freak Oct31 ice storm). I think some bronzer would make me feel less palid and snowbound.

    My skin care regimen:

    I’m due to have a baby girl in March, and she sucked the life right out of my skin right away. To counter that, I’ve had to make my own moisturizer (and it’s wonderful): 80% aloe vera, 10% jojoba, 5+% veggie glycerin, and a couple drops of rose hip oil for anti-aging. I’ve survived all winter with it without a hint of dry skin on my face. For stretch mark prevention, it’s a combo of pure coconut oil followed up by shea butter.

    I’m happy to see the end of the snow here in WA (for now anyway). We have been very lucky in that our power was only out for approximately 8 hours during the whole storm. Some of my friends have had no power for three days now and that’s no fun at all. Bring on Spring, I love Spring:)

    What’s your favorite kind of weather (tropical like Hawaii, dry and hot like Sacramento, foggy like Eureka, temperate like San Francisco)?
    Sunny and in the 70s.

    Can you recommend a good face mask?
    Nope, sorry!

    What are your favorite TV shows?
    I tend to go for sci-fi shows.

    How many skincare products do you use in a typical day?
    Um, one or two. I’m really low maintenance (which is just another way of saying lazy!).

    What do you want to be when you grow up?
    Haha I’m already grown up! I’m a teacher, which is exactly what I want to be.

    What’s your current lipgloss crush?
    Actually right now I’m loving Burt Bees tinted balm in Rose. It’s my perfect MLBB shade.

    I was laughing as the Atlanta weathermen struggled with something to say (today) during their coverage of the thunderstorm.They said people should get their cars in their garages or under their carports because of hail. They even added they should do it BEFORE the hail started. Now that’s some really good advice, I’m sure car owners would never have thought of that on their own.

    I’m so not sucking up, but my current fav lip gloss is Evolution Revolution. It’s just such a pretty neutral and the multi shimmer makes it so cool. I’ve been keeping it in my purse and wearing it by itself or over Revlon Wink for Pink, Maybelline Fruit Punch (the sheer jelly like lippie) or MAC Meltdown. I’m on the lookout for a good peach that isn’t too shimmery to wear with it too, as my Maybelline Wet Shine Fusion in Peach Nectar finally went bad.

    My favorite weather is the springy/ almost summer type weather where during the day when the sun is out you can walk around in short sleeves and at night you might need a light jacket or a blazer just because the temp has dropped a little bit! Ugh… I love it!! And my favorite tv shows are pretty much anything that has to do with law and crime… like The Firm and Prime Suspect. I also really love reality tv… pretty much all of it! lol And definitely Revenge! That is a must see!!

The temp has dropped dramatically, so if I won the Sephora giftcard, I’d buy some luxe moisturizing & repair hand cream, face cream, and of course my fave Urban Decay & Benefit cosmetics! 🙂 Much continued success with your Blog!
