Wow! The rain is coming in sideways right now and it’s freakin’ me out! The big pine trees on the hill outside are whipping wildly around in the wind, and I can literally see the rain moving horizontally.
Scary!
I hope the power doesn’t go out…
And in non-weather-related news, happy Saturday! 🙂 Welcome to the weekend. Despite the angry skies outside, I feel pretty optimistic today, pretty good overall. I’ve got a warm cup of coffee by my side, electricity and Internet access (at least for the time being), an oftentimes affectionate cat (who’s asleep at the top of his cat tower right now, apparently unbothered by the storm), friends to keep me company (thank you, btw) and my man (who’s currently putting batteries in all the flashlights).
Everything I need.
And while I don’t particularly need an egg over easy right now, I really, really want one, so while I go get my breakfast on, why don’t you enter this weekend’s Sephora eGift card giveaway? I’ll be right back!
What folks are saying…

My favorite highlighter right now is the cream colour base by mac in the color shell.
My favourite way to drink is lots of milk! Latte!! Yummm
And the perfect way to waste time is to sleep or surf internet 🙂
I love Sleek blushes!
I love to waste time by reading blogs (lol) and catching up on youtube videos!
My new favorite time waster is Draw Something on iPhone/iPad. I have 6-7 games going right now!
My current favorite way to waste time is Pinterest. Just looking at all the lovely things makes the time fly by.
I’m obsessed with Sephora! I can’t go in there without buying anything, even if I don’t need it lol.
My fave way to waste time is reading, sleeping, and browsing makeup blogs, YouTube videos and makeup shopping online!
I love the Maybelline Dream Mousse blushes, which are under $20, but I don’t think they’re sold any more? Still love the ones I have though!
I LOVE to shop… that is all =D
Hi Karen,
I’ve never been to spa since I got here in PAsadena:( but hey love the way my hubby make me coffee every single day, good morning:)
They were predicting snow over my way today but it’s just been rain which is fine by me because the tulips are already blooming. OVerall this has been the warmest winter and coldest spring- very weird.
Favorite way to waste time is gardening. Although I suppose that’s not totally a waste…
I like my coffee with cream and sugar, we call that cowgirl coffee in the south:-)
I’m obsessed with special K bars
It’s grey and cold here in WI, but I have an appt this afternoon at Sephora for a makeup consultation so I’m super excited! Have a good weekend and thanks for a chance at a giveaway.
In ten years, I to have my first kid by then!
Hey Karen & Tabs! lol. Um, I’m…obsessed with makeup & your blog really just adds fuel to fire! I love coming on here & wasting away time when I’m bored.
I have been to a spa, twice. I wish I could afford to go every week!
I’ve been thwarted in my attempt to win the MegaMillions prize, apparently… maybe I’ll have better luck here! 😉
Not a very big coffee drinker here, on my third cup of tea this morning. Not into Cola either love Ginger Ale though.
I really like the Milani baked blushes.
Getting my free Godiva chocolate of the month today. wheee. free chocolate!
My fav blush under $20 is milani mai tai
My favourite way to waste time is lounge by a pool or beach w/ an ipad or good book. I opened the new year with the flu and every month I get sick. I am thinking that the saying once you open the new year w/ the flu the entire year would be like that. #bummer
I drink a cafe au lait in the morning, like half coffee half milk. I don’t like sugar in my coffee (flavored syrup is a different story), and I only drink black coffee when I have a cold (it really helps)!
Happy weekend, Karen and Tabs!
My fav blush is melba by mac!
Happy Saturday. Not enjoying this Spring so far – one of my worst allergies seasons yet! Any tips on how to conceal my swollen, red eyes and face? Bring on the concealer 🙂
I love my sleek blushes affordable and pigmented
Also usual, have tweeted about giveaway!
https://twitter.com/#!/kimpcole/status/186114731038347264
Someone needs to create a nail polish addicts anonymous because my collection is getting out of control!
I think I should try a cream blush. My dry cheeks have trouble with powder. I love experimenting with makeup 🙂
I normally take my coffee with the usual sugar and cream. When in, say, Starbucks, however, all bets are off: vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In 10 years, I see myself having visited a spa at least twice…or living within spitting distance of one. 🙂
In ten years I hope that I made it through pharmacy school alive and finally live my life! 😀
wooooo the drag queen i was voting for got the top votes for Drag Race All Stars!!! yaaayyy sharon needles!!!!!!
My latest beauty purchase was Naked2 by Urban Decay! Love the colors & love the 3 freebie samples from Sephora!
I just had waffles for breakfast, yum!
My favorite way to waste time: browsing Internet reading beauty blogs.
I have been to a few different spas and love going. I used to work at one and I actually miss working it.
I hate coffee and easily lose hours playing games (on phone or PC)
I love the NYX cream blushes, they are amazing and inexpensive!
I could surf the Internet all day and never run out of pages to read and browse!
My favorite way to waste time is to watch movie trailers on IMDB… I can watch them for hours.
I think a 12 hour drive from Nor Cal to So Cal is deserving of some pampering today, don’t you? An at home mani pedi is on the list today!
Finally getting over my allergies, yayayay.
I like my coffee with a bunch of sugar and half and half 😛 Though I’m more of an espresso gal, so given the choice I’ll take a white mocha over coffee! I know they’re bad for me, but they’re so dang delicious I can’t resist.
I take my coffee with a little sugar and a LOT of milk. My PhD advisor makes fun of me and says I turn my coffee into a milkshake! 🙂
My favorite way to kill time is to read a new book, look at beauty blogs, shop, work out, and cook. I really want some BE Ready Minerals so winning a gift card would rock my world.
My favorite way to waste time is playing Tiny Wings. Its literally the best game ever
I love rainy days!
I don’t have a favorite blush under $20… Ever since I got Orgasm I will never buy anything else!
No coffee here; I’m a green tea girl!
I take my coffee with a little bit of cream, it’s so yummy I’m enjoying some now!
I like black radiance blushes, super pigmented, super cheap!
My favorite way to waste time is perusing fashion and beauty blogs, or watching a show on Netflix Instant!
I recently started using the wet n wild catwalk (it has the 5 color strips you can swirl together) and it gives a great blush and glow. And cheap! 🙂
Still searching for that magic eyeliner that will give me alluring eyes and only smudge where I want it to.
I don’t really drink coffee. Apart from Java Chip Frappucinos from Starbucks.=DDD
Maybelline Dream Mousse blushes, definetely!
I like my coffee with just cream, and not too light either! I could use some more coffee today, it’s one of those days!
I really love the Hard Candy quad blushes, but I wish they made more.
Hey K-Dawg…
I <3 The Balm's Frat Boy [But I hate the name!]
the weather has been weird around here too, my favorite blush under 20 is everyday minerals day dream , and I like my coffee with not coffee at all 🙂
Beige is my favorite color. Am I boring. Lol.
Still sick after 2 weeks. 🙁
I’m not a coffee drinker so I don’t take coffee at all. 🙂
dealing with sick yet rambunctious dog, going on several days, love her v. much but wearing me out!
For coffee Bitter is better for me! Coffeholic again! And i thought im cured of it hahhaa you made me want for more
I’m so hungry! I’m feeling a savory breakfast today!
I’m a tea girl, I don’t really do that much coffee. I love pretty much all kinds of tea except really floral ones. And I take mine with stevia usually 🙂
I waste time by watching re runs of Roseanne!
My birthday is next week 🙂
My favorite cheap blushes are Milani’s. I love them. Favorite way to waste time: watching Netflix while knitting (I just got hooked on Supernatural!) and I adore the Glen Ivy Spa outside of Los Angeles..
Having a lazy Saturday so far! It’s the beginning of spring break for my school 🙂
I’m engaged!! 😀
Mac’s redhead is my current daily highlighter~
I am highly addicted to Starbucks. Each day before work, I pick up a grande coffee with half & half and two packets of Splenda. Delicious!!! It’s just the jolt of caffeine to get me through the day.
Mmmm coffee…. I am going through this phase where all my creamers must be cold so I can immediately drink my coffee! I love the pumpkin spice so not good for you flavored non creamer substance 😉
Have a great weekend, everybody!
Favourite way to drink coffee: latte. Or white chocolate mocha. There is a cafe near my palce that makes a mean one 🙂
I recently bought melba from mac and I love it! It has to be my new fav, but amour from nars is also one of my all time favorites!
I got to see and try out the new Mac eyeshadow collection. Can’t wait to buy one or two or three:) love how you can use them wet or dry. I’ve never been a fan of the mineralize so this seems like a good alternative. Right now I’m loving the pro long wear eyeshadows too!
Dearest T-Money and K-Dawg,
I learned how to crochet on Wednesday night, so lately that’s how I’ve been wasting my time. I”m not crocheting anything in particular, just practicing. 🙂
I really love watching YouTube beauty tutorials! But I’m learning new things so I don’t really think I’m wasting time haha 😉
Nicolle
Love that gif!
I have been dying to try those Tarte blushes, and NARS Albatross highlighter!
Karen send some that rain my way in Texas!
i’m flying to hong kong in 7 hours !
I am a coffee addict but I won’t drink it black, I need some milk with it. Drinking my 4th cup today,lol. I love Bourjoius blushes, another habit from when I used to live in Poland 🙂 I have never been to a spa, hopefully one day 🙂 And I love wasting my time browsing the Internet. Have a great weekend Karen!
Sooo… I found out some horrible news last night…. I’m NOT the Mega Million lotto winner!!! So I’m keeping my fingers crossed on winning this Sephora gift card. I spend my beauty supply allowance on lotto tickets and I am in desperate need!!! Please help!!!
My favourite blush right now is Subtle Breeze by MAC (a mineralize blush from the Naturally collection). It goes with nearly everything! 🙂
My life kind of sucks right now.
I’ve never been to a spa but I would love to! Only got face massages and hair spas till now at my regular salon.
I need more eyeshadow!
I am excited to try Loreals new EverPure hair color collection of shampoos and conditioners!
Hi Karen, I’m a beginner to makeup so I try not to stockpile too much of any one product. My collection thus far is two mascaras, two holiday lip gloss sets (love holiday sets!!), a mac blush, two bobbi brown gel eyeliners, and one eyeshadow palette. I don’t think I’ll be hitting pan on my blush anytime soon, but I’d definitely go back to mac for my next blush.
I just bought NARS blush in Deep Throat, and I love it! It’s similar to NARS blush in Orgasm, just with less shimmer, so it’s better for a daytime look.
I like my coffee without sugar – either black or with a bit of half-and-half.
My favorite time-waster is Internet window shopping. Way too much time plotting all the things I love, but can’t afford.
I love watching low budget sci-fi flicks to waste time! So much cheesy goodness.
My favorite beauty product is LORAC Spotlight!
I’m not a big fan of coffee, but I do love tea!
Hi Karen,
What a wonderful prize to be giving away! Thank you so much. <3 I've been wanting to 'treat' myself at Sephora for a couple of months now, but with recent issue of nonstop car issues I've been putting any extra savings into my car. 🙁
I really want to get a makeup brush set at Sephora since I currently own a collage of different cheaper brands.
i love sonia kashuk blushes!
I’m really getting into buying lipstick now. I’ve always been a gloss type of girl, but with so many beautiful colors and formulas, I had to move past gloss to something with more lasting power! My latest fav is Mac’s Rebel.
I’m a coffee addict, I need about a gallon of it before I can properly start my day!
My favorite way to waste time is browsing makeup and clothing sites 🙂
Can’t wait for the new Mac Tres Cheek blushes to launch, they are my new favourite blushes. 🙂
Have u ever tried hair chalking? I recently heard about in on pintrest, but i’m mot sure it will take well to darker hair, which i have. Let me know if u try it!
I’ve been to spas in Puerto Vallerta & Las Vegas & it is truly an amazing experience! My favorite package was the mani/pedi/headrub combo! Plush spas are not really the thing here in Montana. Maggie cat says to tell Tabs to stay cool!! She’s 15 & just discovered she really likes wet food. Diva!
My favorite blush under $20 is the Sonia Kashuk cream blush.
Thanks Karen! Just had the most awesome Friday night and looking forward to a wonderfully relaxing weekend 😀
Would you do a post on concealers soon, I need a one that covers my dark circles during summer but that is light enough so that it wont feel to much in the warm weather…..And I also tweeted :
https://twitter.com/#!/Omtrent/status/186140296801812480
my favorite blush is MAC Pinch o Peach! Love it!
My husband is 4000 miles away at the moment and I miss him like crazy! Glad to have my fur friends!
IDK what blush I use. Some cheap one by Cover Girl, I think. 😛
My recent favorite is la femme blushes+ Z palette, 4 blushes (their eyeshadows, blushes are the same size) would fit perfectly into a small Z palette! I have 2 blushes, 1 contouring, and another 4 eyeshadow palette depotted into a Z palette and it’s so cute and functional!
Hey Karen ^____^ I’ve loved all the Hunger Games inspired posts lately. I loved the book and the movie and can’t get enough of it. I for one won’t be complaining about Capitol inspired looks or Games inspired posts. Thanks for all the wonderful posts. I always love reading what you write.
I’ll be going to Sephora for the first time tomorrow (there’s only one on the island). I’m so looking forward to it. I’ve been wanting to go there for ages!! 😀
USC and LMU acceptance and rejection letters come out tomorrow!
Regrettably, I have a cold today 🙁 at least it is the weekend!
I just put some brownies in the oven!
So glad bronchitis is finally going away. Seems to have taken forever.
never been to a spa!
Lately, my go-to blushes are tarte amazonian clay 12-hr blush in blissful and tarte cheek stain in tipsy.
omg I survived my first 48 hour cleanse. Like whoa!
I just bought MUFE F&B for Sephora’s VIB sale and I’m so excited to try it!
I’m jealous of the rain! It’s supposed to be 93 here today. Boo!
I’ve been lemming so many things from Sephora right now, it’s driving me crazy. But I’m living on student loans! Gah!
Hi Karen! Lately, I’ve been digging my Dunkin’ Donuts coffee (cinnamon flavored) with some milk, sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. It’s great! I think you’d love it (considering you like chai lattes! – me too!) Thanks for doing this giveaway! 🙂
It’s a dreary NYC day… Did my cleanup and workout, awaiting my honeys arrival from work do we can get out grub on then head to his nephews 8th birthday party!!
I’ve been spending my time watching parking wars it’s hilarious
love your blog!! check it EVERY day 🙂
I love to waste time by watching something stupid on TV (like Storage Wars) and pinning things to Pinterest!
I don’t really like hot drinks so I always get iced coffee with milk and sugar.
My favorite way to waste time is reading books not required for research, college, or my job. But that’s not really a waste 🙂
I’ve never been to a spa before, but I would love it! 🙂
Does bribery work? I’d promise Tabs a package of cat treats in the mail if i win. 🙂
Love the blog! great photos!
Have you ever been to a spa?
I had a facial once. Not a fan.
My boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me yesterday 🙁 now i have an extreme shopping urge but nothing to go shopping with! So all im eating is giant bags of mini eggs.
Milani Luminoso is a good under 20 blush, Orgasm-y.
No coffee, no SPA, no blush, no wasting time. In ten years I’ll probably say yes to all!
need to study!
Current favorite way to waste time is watching videos on YouTube – reviews on French skin care products. Maybe not really a waste as I am gaining knowledge. But I usually find a makeup tutorial or 10 to watch as well. Then 2 hours have passed!!
Happy Saturday to T-Money & K-Dawg!
Rain a little more please! Let my flowers bloom in the garden! Spring is here, the birds have arrived! And as one reporter said, “birds don’t lie!”
I would love to win!!
It’s that chic week at sephora that 50 gc would have come in handy today!! I think I may go overboard on products
Hubs and I watched both the old and new Tron movies this weekend. Yeah, we’re cool like that :). On a beauty related note, I’ve been loving Becca products lately… especially the shimmer face powder in Angel and the concealer compact in Praline. Thanks to you for getting me hooked on the brush cleaning soap too ;).
I always get an iced latte. Even in Winter. Would love to win the Sephora gift card. I need a couple of things. This old broad needs all the help she can get! Thanks for the chance.
I love to drink my coffee with milk and 3 sugars while reading your blog!
My favourite blush under 20$ is Mac’s Pressed Amber from the Semi-Precious collection. It’s a lovely matte blush with a bit of sheen but no glitter at all. The color translates so nicely to my NC35 skin, just love it. It’s my first mineralize blush. Happy Weekend!
It really sucks that Sephora won’t let Canadians use there 15% off code online. All the things I was going to get with the sale! *tears* Oh well… 🙁
I am a total Milani blush lover!
i love these giveaways!
Ooooh my favorite drugstore blush is Wet n Wild’s Pearlescent Pink! At $2.99 it is SUCH a steal! Plus it has a very creamy powder consistency, great pigmentation, and delivers a beautiful glow-y pink color. Love it!!
my favorite blusher under 20 dollars is canmakes cheek & cheek blush in gerbera kiss.
also i’m uber excited for season 2 of game of thrones!!
I prefer my coffee slightly bitter, so either an epresso or just add a splash of milk and some sugar.
I just picked up a Sue Devitt blush (in the color Belize) on sale for $5 and it is already one of my all-time faves!
My favorite way to waste time is playing mindless games like solitaire, sudoku, majong, etc.
Fave blush under $20? Meow Cosmetics Soka. It’s only in their summer collection but it’s my HG coral blush!
Beautiful day in south Florida today – What a long week it was – and the weekend is half over – Boo Hoo
I don’t really drink coffee but I do love Coffee Bean’s tea lattes!!! Yum yum yum!
I will stay in my pj all day today.
Right now my favorite blush is TheBalm Hot Mama.
Thank you!
A pick me up is some new make-up!!!
This is wonderful!
Strange and odd fact: I always buy more conditioner than shampoo because I always end up using more conditioner.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My favourite way to waste time is reading makeup blogs! Haha, I’m sure I’m not the only one here who does that.
today is icky, hope i win.
Wow! thanks for the opportunity to win. I love Sephora, the folks that work there all know me by name…lol. I just tried the Boscia BB cream…I love it…
when i started drinking coffee i used to put in quite a bit of flavored creamer to sweeten it up, but i take it black w/o sugar if i do drink coffee these days.
Wasting time is something I am a master of. (That, and procrastination.)
My fav blush under $20 is Watermelon Prowl by Pretty Addictions, an indie company. Heck with shipping it’s under $10!!!!
my spring break is almost over! and my fave blush under $20 at the moment is nyx peach.
Smashbox is my new favorite brand of makeup! There complexion perfection kit works wonders 🙂
I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but I may start this week. My work shift starts at 7 am!
I think the best drugstore blushes are from Milani. I’m very fair skinned, so the peachy pink of Luminoso is perfect for me!
i need a nap
really badly
and it is just noon
i don’t consider naps a waste of time as sleep is the number one beauty aid-
I feel like a bit of a snob but I haven’t bought a blush under $20 in sooo long. Right now I’m loving Benefit’s Bella Bamba (on my second box!) but I saw Maybelline’s Bouncy Blush (?) at the drugstore the other day and it looked so cute! Might try it out..
i just got a haircut and i love it!
It’s so cold and rainy over here today. Where is the spring that we had last week?
Really obsessing over Butter London polishes right now. Thinking of a haul: Disco Biscuit, Trout Pout, Blagger and Royal Navy.
My favorite blush is Covergirl Cheekers Blush Iced Cappuccino and its under $5 🙂
i like my coffee black! hope you’re having a great weekend!
Happy to be spending the day with my family for my aunt’s surprise bday 🙂
I love the Covergirl cheekers blushes!
My cat really adores spring, he is soooo happy that winter is over… But no cute birds in my backyard, he hates them:)
Eating hot soup on a cold day is so great.
i love green tea lattes from starbucks. those little green buggers are addictive.
It’s so frustrating to go to Sephora looking for things I saw on the website, only to be told ‘oh, not in Canada yet’…and sometimes never!
I’m happy with the Sonia Kashuk beautifying blush I purchased at Target last weekend.
I just had a dermalogica facial the other day and i can’t stop running the side of my finger across my cheek because it feels so silky smooth…
I don’t like drinking coffee. =( Have a nice weekend Karen!
My favorite time waster is painting my nails, it helps me feel relaxed! 🙂
Leaving for Bangkok and India for a month, very soon!
Smashbox, Bare Escentuals, Josie Maran and the list goes on to put that gift certificate to good use!
My favorite way to spend time is by reading…and I say spend because reading is never a waste of time!! 🙂
My favorite way to waste time is watching reruns of shows that I love
Tomorrow is my Birthday!! 🙂
You have fab giveaways!!!
Favorite time waster?: Pinterest
Favorite blush under 20 bucks? Milani Luminoso
I love makeup!!!
Haha, I love your idea of putting that Mega Millions animation at the top of this post. X)
I’m having tea!
coffee!!!!
My favorite blush under 20 bucks is Covergirl blush in soft mink!
I want the weather to get warmer super fast!
I’ve been lucky enough to go to spas a few times. Not for overnight stays, just for a treatment or two. Heavenly.
The weather is very dreary today. Just hanging out, watching some old movies, and going to get taxes done!
Of course, I never leave out a chance to look at my makeup sites!
I love elf blushes!
I LOVE Boots No. 7 Highlights Illuminating cream!!!
My favorite way to waste time lately is napping. I’m nine months pregnant so I have to get what sleep I can now!
I finally saw The Hunger Games! So good. I loved Katniss’ eye makeup in the final interview!
I like my coffee with half and half but no sweetener. I like how the half and half mellows out any bitterness without any sugar to make it taste like candy.
I had this grand plan to make cookies today, and realized a major ingredient was missing and I didn’t want to go back to the store.
Never been to a spa! 🙁
I don’t drink coffee, go to spas, or wear blush. I do love to waste time though – by catching up on my favorite blogs or watching my favorite mindless reality tv shows!
i like my coffee with half and half or milk! i’m so tired and my dark circles are worsening – so if i ever win this gift card, it’s off to sephora to find the holy grail of all dark circle eraser!
That rain sounds scary. Hope you stay safe!
And while I’ve had the whole spa experience before, I’d love to do it more often. I could *really* use a massage right now.
My favorite blush right now is Gaitey from Nars. It is THE most beautiful spring pop! Love it so much! Highly reccommend it!
I love eyeliner till death do us part!!!! I can’t live without it and i am always looking for a water proof smudge proof eyeliner to try. =D
Earlier today while the weather was still good, my friend and I went to this event called Odd Duck Bazaar where we got some really cool items made by local artists and this delish homemade jelly spread – bourbon apple butter I believe it’s called. Super tasty.
We went out for brunch today! It was fabulous 😀
My favourite things to do to waste time are check bloglovin, watch movies, using the internet or reading. My favorite cheap blush are the nyx ones:)
I like milani blushes!
I just had a yummy breakfast lunch!
Im so excited that the weather has been starting to warm up! I cant wait til it gets even warmer! 🙂
My favorite thing to do to waste time would be checking out all of the beauty blogs!
i’m spending all my free time with my new kitten Momo these days! i melt every time she nudges me with her little wet nose or gently smacks me with her paw hahaha
I’m drinking iced Dunkin Donuts coffee and wasting time watching shows on Netflix.. what a perfect lazy afternoon!
Not a fan of blush, but I like a touch of bronzer to add some colour.
And I like my coffee best with a spot of cream 🙂
I like a grande iced skim vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso.
So, where do I see myself in 10 years? Hopefully, I will be working with children as a respiratory therapist. I’m in school now and getting ready to apply to the program where they only accept 30 students. Fingers crossed that I get in.
My favorite blush is milano’s mineral blushes (they don’t have parabens unlike their baked blushes). It lasts all day and gives me a natural flush :).
Once I tried Caudalie beauty products, I finally had faith in natural beauty brands! I found my new must-have eye cream!
I love all things beauty…makeup and skin care! When I walk into a store like Sephora, I feel just like a kid in a candy store…especially when looking at all the pretty colors!
I recommend Spa Utopia in Pan Pacific Vancouver. It’s so amazing and their staff is just wonderful
I dislike all coffee.
Well, I didn’t win millions of dollars this week but maybe I can go on a Sephora spree. That’s almost as good, right? Right??
My favorite way to waste time is lounging on the couch with a good book. Happy Saturday!
favorite blush under $20…i think the only one i have under $20 is elf’s candid coral – but i like it!
i’m so pale that MAC’s well dressed is my everyday perfect color.
Hi Karen and Tabs!
I like my coffee with just a couple of tablespoons of milk but I like real Italian coffee with crema on top. It’s the best! 🙂
Have a good weekend!
I drink dunkin donuts iced french vanilla coffee all year round. I get it with milk and 2 sweet n lows.
I really like those old Jane blushes in the black packaging. The matte colors were surprisingly excellent! I bought up the whole display when they went on clearance, so I (almost) have them all! Can’t have enough blush, right? …Right? Yeah, you probably can. Oh well.
I actually went to a spa for the first time just over a week ago! I loved it! 🙂
Be careful in the storm Karen! And everyone else in the area :]
My fave blush under $20 would have to be La Femme Russet.
Happy Saturday! I am having a lazy day today playing on the internet, and re-watching all the episodes of Mad Men starting with season 1. I really want to try the Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Season-to-Season Bronzer that you blogged about. I love how it is seperated by season. Hope you and Tabs have a great weekend!
My favorite way to waste time is to catch up on my favorite shows via Hulu and do my nails or put on a face or hair mask. 🙂
$50 might not go very far at Sephora, but it’d be enough for the Naked2 palette!
I like my coffee with the darkest roast possible, lots of sugar, and either a little bit or no creamer. (I’d rather have no creamer than too much!)
I have never been to a spa before but I would think it would be fun.
Just tried YSL Touche Eclat at the Philadelphia Sephora… I’m officially obsessed. If only it was more budget friendly.
My cats name is Chrissy and every time she see’s Tabs on the screen she tries to play with him!
Does Tabs like other cats? Cuz Chrissy is OBSESSED!
I love make up! But with 10 dogs, and 43 cats I spend most my money on them! Take pity on a make up deprived pet lover!
we love tabs!!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway Tabs! My favorite blush under $20 is the cream blush from Joe Fresh in Rose, its only $6 CAD and gives an amazing, natural glow!
I want to try some new nail colors and the benefit foundation,I’ve been broke so haven’t been to sephora in a while
i love your hair color right now. is it pink or red highlights? i wanna do something like that! so fun!
Favourite way to waste time? YOUTUBE!
Though I don’t really consider this a waste of time I spend A LOT of time reading.
How do you do it all?
Hi Karen, please enter me into the giveaway 🙂
In my own beauty news, I bought my first Touche Eclat today and realised that this stuff is £1000/100ml in this country! As you can imagine, the $50 would come in ever so handy 😉
Loving your blog as always! Bee
This is my study break
I tweeted about the giveaway.

“T-Money” cracks me up every time! 🙂 Here’s a virtual scratching Tabs’ ears.
Physicians formula happy booster in Natural is AH-MAH-ZING!
Hi Karen!! I’ve been reading your blog for a while but this is my first post.. I guess this is my opportunity to say how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into this blog!
I love the dream bouncy blushes, a teeny bit of Hot Tamale is my favorite blush color ever.
One of my favorite ways of spending time is with a purring kitteh on my lap, a good book at hand, and a plenty of snacks nearby. If it’s raining, then all the better!
Hope I win!!
Heheh, oh Megamillions. If only!
I love getting all cozy and watching a movie or reading a book.
Courtney
I don’t drink coffee which made everyone think I was crazy in college. Not even when I had 8AM classes…those were the days 🙂
My favorite under $20 blush is MAC blushes!
I have a mud mask on 🙂
Tomorrow’s April fools!
Although it isn’t technically under $20, I got a full-size Laura Geller Blush & Brighten in one of my Birchboxes last year, and I love it. While I’ve found that Birchbox can be hit or miss, getting a full-size product like this makes it worth the $10 gamble every month 🙂
I am totally in love with Revlon’s “Minted” nail polish and nail Inc.’s “Portabello” nail polish for spring! I love your blog!
What a great time for a Sephora giveaway! I have been twice this week for Chic Week……stocking up on needed items. Well, pretty much needed anyway. My favorite blush is a little bit over $20……..$25 for Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Glisten. It always works and looks fantastic. LOVE your blog and photos. Great job. Thanks for all your contests. Hope to win one someday…………..
Happy Saturday.
In twenty years, I hope to be happy and healthy. And hopefully a hubby as well ; )
Even though I am a sick makeup addict with over 150 palettes, my favorite of all time is my Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nudes palette. So good, so easy, so versatile, and perfect for me!
favorite drugstore brand has to be nyx, and high end is benefit! love everything from them both
I love ELF blush in Twinkle Pin! It’s great! 🙂
also tweeted – https://twitter.com/#!/steffers516/status/186220121021362176
winning would definitely make me feel better! Im spending the day sick in bed!!
Thanks for the giveaway. Today is my best friends birthday. Happy Birthday to Linda. God bless her. She’s been like family to me.
I like life.
I’m stuck inside today, hope your weekend is better 🙂
We’ve had rain like that. It’ won’t turn off the power, promise!
I love Milani’s Baked Blush in Luminoso. I’ve never been to a spa, I hope to be in a career that I love and hopefully in New York? I love just mindlessly shopping and I don’t really drink coffee.
I go to Mac for blushes under 20 dollars! Also, cover girl has some pretty good ones as well!
Was just looking at the new Pantone Universe, $50 dollars would make a nice dent in my shopping trip! >_<
I’ve been using a Wet N’ Wild blush and it hasn’t been that bad! It was so cheap I couldn’t not grab it.
Happy Saturday. I haven’t found a favorite blush yet. My favorite way to waste time is checking out all the fashion/make-up blogs. I have never been to a spa, not sure I really would like it all that much. I just like getting my pedicures and would rather spend the money on clothes/make-up.
There is NOTHING I hate more than waiting for a package to arrive–especially one containing makeup that I’ve been lusting after for months!!!
LOVE all this rain we are getting in Northern Californiia! Think it’s getting ready to hail at my house in San Ramon (I am in a micro-climate on top of a hill). Hope “they” can cancel the drought. SU called me from London the other day and it was Sunny and 70 degrees (F). That particular day here was dark and rainy. Go figure.
I enjoy you tube but I have to remind my self that nursing school is way more important! But you tube vids get addicting and before you know it wowsers!! It’s been an hour! Happy weekend Karen hope the Internet is not affected:)
In 10 years I´ll hopefully be working as a psycotherapist 🙂
I love to read 😀
Just barely under $20, but the $19 theBalm Hot Mama is one of my favorite blushes!
I haven’t been to a spa..yet!! I’m thinking after I get done with school for the semester I might try one out! I have our local hero Renee Rouleau or a Bliss spa…just gotta figure out which one to try first! 😀
I love milk and Sweet Italian Cream creamer in my coffee.
In 10 years I will have two teenage girls so I see myself pulling my hair out but hope I have a best selling novel.@martiferg
thanks for the chance! I am definitely in need of a Sephora run to stock up
I haven’t been able to see the Hunger Games yet! D:
I take my coffee… as tea. #laughs# No, actually, if i do have coffee, it’s as a 50-50 mixture with milk. Or, if i’m feeling decadent, 50-50 with hot chocolate.
I seem to be wasting too much time these days on Pinterest.
I wish I could be in a spa right now! lol
With cream and sugar please 🙂 Hope your weekend is going great Karen!
I’m dying for the new Estee Lauder Pure Color limited ed. Pure Color blushes…why can’t t be may already?
My favorite blush under $20 is Milani Luminoso.
I all these beauty collections are killing me lol; Sephora + Pantone, MAC Reel Sexy and Tres Cheek!
I love your makeup monsters series, they’re all so cute!
Oooo I just went to a spa this week to get my first brazilian sugaring…! In one word? Torture. Dunno if I can do it again. It was traumatic, but the results are awesome. I’d love to drink coffee, but I can’t deal with the caffeine! If I could, I’d have milk and sugar, please 🙂
i’ve never been to a spa before, but i would love to go! one of these days…
I LOVE referring people to my favorite cosmetic products! NARS Smudgeproof, Alima Pure powder foundation, Tarte Smooth Operator, etc. Don’t keep ’em a secret, share the wealth!
I love Bare Minerals blushes! Fruit Cocktail is my fave!
I take my coffee black no sugar.
My favorite way to waste time is definitely browsing around the internet! I spend way too much time on my computer.
My fave blush under 20 is probably MAC blush in Well Dressed! It’s my go to when i feel like nothing else is working!
I don’t have any blushes under $20. Although I recently got Benefit Thrrrob for $18 on Amazon — does that count? LOL
just picked up YSL glossy stains at sephora in #8 and #11 (already have #3) with my VIB card. can’t wait to use them!
I just moved into my new apartment today! Very excited (my last place I had a smoker under me)!
I always love your outfits and accessories. And Tabs is the cutest! (Not as cute as my cat though of course =P)
It has been raining for almost 7 hours. It’s driving me crazy.
I like Milani blushes!
I love the gif you have at the beginning. finding out about the winner being in Maryland (where I live) was kind of a bummer, but we didn’t expect to win. at least we only spent 2$ on our tickets. it seems silly hearing about people who spent 500$ and didn’t get their money back..
Love your blog and Tabs-he looks like my Bailey boy who I had for almost 10 years.
I didn’t win the megamillions jackpot so I hope to win this one!
I really wanna win this one… i think i need a change in luck maybe? 🙂 Good luck to all you other makeup addicts out there!
I haven’t gotten used to the taste of coffee yet so I usually just get a mocha – lots of milk and syrup to hide the coffee taste 🙂
i would love to win and get a naked 2 palette!
I so need a clarisonic Mia!
I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time today, and I loooove it! 😀
The weather in my neck of the woods was cold and gray today, but that didn’t stop me from getting my first pedicure of the season! I went with a purple OPI shade (I forgot the name…).
I looovvveeee rainy lazy weekends and this one is no exception. Hubby and I just cashed in our $7 lotto ticket. 😉
My favorite way to waste time is watching makeup tutorials and cat videos on Youtube.
Thanks as always for the giveway-stay safe during the storm,hope you don’t lose your power!
My favorite under $20 blush(es) are Maybelline’s Dream Bouncy Blushes! Cheap enough that I bought a few colors :D.
my fav blush under $20 are the mayblelline bouncy blushes! i love peach satin 🙂
I’m on spring break!!!!!!!
Just got the Naked 2 palette and am very pleased with it
I like most physician’s formula bronzers. under $20 and in place of blush.
I have the sweetest almost 11 month old baby girl<3
Jane blush in Blushing Babydoll is super great and way way under $20. I think it was $3.
Love to wn for wifey
I’m not sure I’ve ever tried on a blush I DIDN’T like.
I like to drink my coffee with half and half and sugar. I prefer it not too sweet and not too milky.
Hi Karen and Tabs! I actually don’t drink coffee. I’ve never cared for the taste. Sometimes I wish I did, though, for those times when I need caffeine. I usually opt for a Coke Zero then.
Latte breve with an extra shot! It’s the only way to fly. Otherwise I just drink tea. 🙂
The rain was REALLY bad in SF this morning. Glad it was sunny for a bit this afternoon.
Soo tired!
Instead of working right now I’m reading your blog! 😉
Hey Karen, you made me crave fish and chips the other day and actually had some @ betty’s fish and chips here in santa rosa!
I really hope I win. I’ve had a pretty bad week and I need something good to happen. 🙁
I waste my time rotting out my brain by watching TV. Asian dramas, to be exact.
I have three cats: two big males and one small female. It’s getting really funny because now that the little girl is growing up with them, she’s taking on their strange mannerisms. She tries to fight with them, but it doesn’t seem to be working. 😛
Favorite waste of time? My iPad!
I can’t wait to see what Tabs has been up to in his Sunday post tomorrow.
Soy lattes and yogi breathe deep are my go to drinks! I’ve been reaching for Fleur Power by MAC lately, such a nice springy color 🙂
I’m currently having a serious perfume buying phase, can’t get enough!
Five minutes of every day belong to Karen’s blog! I can’t go more then two days w/o reading it 🙂
I always order a large $1 black coffe by McDonalds, then add a Bailey’s flavored creamer in the fridge at work…;)
My favourite way to waste time is by reading oodles and oodles of beauty blog posts! 🙂
My favorite blush under $20 would be NYX blush in peach!
I just got Peachykeen blush from MAC and have been loving it for the warmer weather we have been having in TN. Although I have been wanting to try the Ready blushes from Bare Minerals! I hope you and Tabs and El Hubs have a great weekend! 🙂
I am all alone in the house now and it is thundering in the distance and I have to admit I’m a little scared. I’ve been watching too many episodes of Ghost Hunters and 48 Hours!
tweet: https://twitter.com/#!/warp65/status/186285066119413760
Enjoying a movie night with my husband and of course some yummy junk food!
I shouldn’t admit this, but I eat Nutella by the spoonful. LOVE that stuff!
Tried the new Smashbox BB cream. Loved it! And the light shade fits my pale skin great, guess i’m lucky because they dont offer many shade selections.
thank you so much for your giveaways every week 😀
Love, love MAC’s Margin and Peachykeen! Hope you and tabs are having a wonderful weekend!
hope ur wkend got sunnier. p.s. i fought the most delicious frozen yogurt treat at the store today:
frozen yogurt in granola treat bites by yoplait. YUM!
My favorite way to waste time on Pinterest.
I hope I win!:D
Sephora is amazing.
Im addicted to nail art and makeup.
I would love to win this after spending a bit too much during the first 2 days of the 15% discount! Oops!
As for the topics, I would spas. I prefer facials over massages though. For some reason, they just relax me more.
I would love to win the lotto but we don’t have it al. So a sephora gift card is the best thing think to win!
I love painting my nails.
I loved the review of the Tom Ford stuff……
I take my coffee black with an extra shot of espresso! 🙂 Only on days when I have class though, otherwise it’s a mug of green tea preferably with honey!
I’m getting a puppy this summer!! I’m so incredibly excited.
The other day I was playing a Taiko Drum video game… and I got a blister from it. HARDCORE
A Mtn d e w slush would be swell right now!
I love my coffee with splenda and natural bliss creamer in sweet cream…mmmm!
I would love to win! I am allergic to coffee. Along with sugar cane, all dairy, and wheat/gluten. I try to distract myself from the idea of good food with makeup. haha
I love make-up
I completely <3ed your Illamasqua Fierce FOTD, Karen! I'd never be able to pull off a shade like that 😉
I am one of the few who didn’t buy a lottery ticket….
There is nothing more heartbreaking than making the decision to let go of a beloved pet. My sis had to put hers down today and it was absolutely gut wrenching.
After seeing your hunger games inspired makeup, bow and arrow included… I decided that I twang to be Katniss for Halloween!! Thanks for the opportunity to win, have a great weekend 🙂
pick me karen 🙂
hmm not sure about my fave blush under $20… my all-time favourite blush is the dandelion box powder by benefit – it’s ridiculously expensive in Australia (around $50!!)
I take my coffee with sugar and milk or cream. Once in a while I’ll add flavor.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com
My favorite blush is NARS Mounia and the $3 Wet and Wild in Berry Shimmer is a good, pigmented dupe!
My favorite way to waste time is the interwebernets!
I’ve never been to a spa : (
I love coffee with whole milk and sugar! Mmm!
Milani Luminous!
Coffee+Khalua is the only way to go
You have my dream lifestyle Karen! Makeup + Fuzzy Animal = heaven
Spending time with KITTEHS is number 1 use of time. We are lucky they let us spend so much time with them.
I want a gorgeous cat and a wonderful life with my boyfriend 🙂 And oh, I’m totally winning the hunger games 10 years from now 😀
I like my coffee with just a little bit of milk- sometimes I’ll go for one of those flavored Coffee Mate creamers if I’m feeling fancy!
Sephora giveaway!
milk and sugar
Fave blush under $20 – MAC Conjure up.
I hope in ten years i’ve got an amazing career and married with children haha.
I like my strong to really perk me up in the morning… so black it is! 🙂
Thanks for this, Karen!
I’ve been spending my weekend trying to get my site to fix. =/
Man, next Friday morning I am picking up my paycheck and hitting up Sephora to catch the last day of the VIB sale. I’ve been drooling so hard after the Sephora + Pantone set and it’s a great time to get it! I never thought I would be brave enough to wear orange lipstick (indeed, the thought had never occurred to me), especially since I’m chicken about bright lip colors even though I love them, but I’m loving all the Tangerine Tango orange and I’ve found it extremely wearable! I used to hardly ever do intense lip color, even bright pink, but I’ve worn orange lips probably five times in the last week or so.
Hey, you should do a Tangerine Tango look! That would be awesome, and it would probably look great on your skin tone! (I’m a semi-freckled fair brunette but I make it work for me anyway.) I need a little inspiration for orange eyes, I think. 😀
My favorite blush under $20 is Too Faced Full Bloom in Sweet Pink! Perfect for my vampire like pale skin 🙂
Love tarte amazonian clay blush!
Would love to get some kate somerville products…this NE weather is causing havoc on my skin!!
I loooooooooove facials at a spa.
I’ve never been to a spa!
I love your blog and I love Peeta!
Your kitty is adorable!!!
Winning a Sephora gift card would be so awesome. 🙂
I love to play video games as my means of wasting time. :3
i just painted my nails like a galaxy! im so excited to show them off tomorrow
I think Tabs is so cute!!!
My favourite blush under $20 is Physician’s Formula Happy Booster! :0)
I love going to the spa 😀
No coffee for me – I’m a tea girl all the way!
Thanks Karen for your amazing blog! Love it and come back every day to check the news!
Lottery fail!
I’ve fallen in love with Pinterest and have learned so many new things. Made an awesome chicken salad that I saw on there this week.
fav blush under 20? easy, toast of new york by revlon.. its perfect for us tanned girls! a beautiful peach colour! i paid 4 kwd (kuwaiti dinars) which converted is about 12 US, but i’m sure it’ll be under 10 over there as everything here is so inflated! its not a very soft blush though, so you have to swipe a few times to get some colour of your brush, but its just so beautiful!
mac fleur power
I want to watch Hunger Games (again) on IMAX!
…I’m on vacation! It is so awesome. And the best part is that the place I’m staying is across the street from a MAC store 😀
Mama needs a brand new blush (or two!) from Nars!!
Today is my birthday!
My favorurite blush under 20 $ is Sleek!! enter me please!
tabby, stay away from gravy!
I have never been to a spa before but maybe someday.
I can never buy enough from Sephora! Currently thinking if I should fish out for the Clarisonic Mia after all.
My favourite budget blushes are from NYX!
happy april fools day! : )
“K-money” & “T-Dawg” plz enter me in contest, I would luv 2 do a lil shopping at Sephora!!
Happy April Fool’s Day!
I take my coffee with milk and sugar. No cream, no half and half, no creamer are allowed in my coffee!
I tried benefits new foundation after your review and loved it! Natural finish without causing breakouts!
I’m so sad UD is discontinuing the deluxe shadows 🙁
I love my Mac blush!
Have you ever tried the Eminence from Hungary skincare line? I’m very interested in it!
Fave blush under $20: the Sleek blush by 3 palettes!
I’m always in search of the perfect concealer. My latest buy is the Revlon Photoready and so far I’m loving it.
I stumbled upon your blog about two weeks ago and ever since I’ve been addicted! You’re delightful to read and your pictures feed my makeup obsession.
I make my coffee at home and I use French roast and a little bit of sugar free hazelnut creamer.
MAC immortal Flower looks like something i might have to pick up!
My favorite blush under $20 would have to be my MAC Fleur Power which I bought in the Pro Pan so it was only like $16…lol I can’t think of my favorite drugstore blush! Most of the ones I get are high end.
Out of all blushes, the ones I reach for the most are Mai Tai (Milani) and Per Suede (Stila).
coffee coffee coffee: my favorite moment of the day!
I like mine with milk, no sugar.
Don’t you juste love the smell in the morning? I love having 5-10 minutes to myself to savor it before the day starts.
Thanks Karen
The only time I have ever been to the spa was when I won a spa trip years ago to Laguna Niguel. It was great!
The best way to waste my time is to use Ipod 😀
Love Tabs! <3
I cannot start a day without my caffè macchiato while I read or watch some beauty video on youtube 🙂
I have never been to a spa before but I want to go so badly ! I just have to find a good one that is worth my money.
yay for black coffee
For some odd reason, the Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism collection just screams Hunger Games to me!
Love coffee with a little cream. Got a kuerig machine for Christmas and love it!
Its officially my birthday month! 😀
I am in love with all of salma Hayeks products at cvs!
GAME! OF! THRONES!
Just ordered Laura Mercier’s mineral powder- hopefully this will be my new spring foundation!
Your mention of spas in this giveaway made me really want a massage. I haven’t had one in a couple years and I love them.
I love reading about health & beauty in my spare time. Also, catching up on my favorite shows. Have a wonderful day everyone 🙂
I have been having a passionate love affair with my Sleek Suede blush for the past year and there are no signs of falling out of love Ever. This matte blush looks very modest in the pan, but I think they put some fairy dust in it because whenever I apply it it just makes it look like I am glowing from the inside out! <3
Hi Karen!! Thanks so much for this give away opportunity, mostly because I have become a makeup addict thanks to you!! And also because most of the giveaways aren’t for international readers, so this is a big chance for me!! (by the way, I live in Bogotá – Colombia)
Favorite way to waste time? Look up reviews/swatches of makeup products I don’t need, of course!
I really want to try Shiseido’s White Lucent line…please!
I never really drank coffee until my boyfriend got a Keurig. Now I love all the flavoured ones, but with lots of milk lol
Count me in! 😉
I drink my coffee strong, but with lots of hot milk. I have been known to reheat yesterday’s coffe in lazy desperation too though – so I’m clearly not as picky as I pretend…..
Can’t wait for Game of Thrones…
I went to a concert last night and I’m so tired, and I have to be in a hour at a clients house! Got a Work in Sunday!!! O.O my feet hurt!!!!!
I don’t want to gooo! My hubby it’s sleeping so comfy… (Jealous)
Dear Tabs & Karen, I’m heading to California and Las Vegas at the end of the month, and I’d love to think of you spending a gift card at Sephora while looking for the best blush ever under 20$ ;-))) I love NYX blushes, they have a great staying power and plenty of colors to choose from! Also love the little round blushes from Bourjois (a French brand), so cute 😉
My cat, Pirate, absolutely adooooores the smell of these, so much that he always ends up with pink blush on his little nose 😉
I think 95% of my blushes are under $20! I love Rimmel but I think one of the ELF all over color sticks is one of my favorite blushes ever!
happy sunday!
Best way to waste time (well I don’t think it’s a wastecbut others in my household who shall remain nameless do . . . ) Read beauty blogs! This one’s my fave and on the daily list 🙂 Always brings me a smile-thanks, Karen!
Love Rimmel Santa Rose!!!!
I have never worn blush because I have very pale skin and flush easily. But I think they are very beautiful!
Love your blog! Its the first site I go to for product reviews and recommendations!!
My dog won’t stop digging in my yard!
I just found out this paper I’m working on is due a week later than I thought. Phew!
Want.
I wonder if the new Dior Summer Nude bronzers will be worth it
Hola, Thanks for these giveaway. At this point my retirement plan is the lotto, so 10 years from now I will be working, but that is a blessing if God is willing. Have a blessed week and thanks
Ack this weekend has evaporated!
Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen! 🙂
I love sephora!
i did the warrior dash yesterday! it was so fun
just saw hunger games! a little disappointed but it was still great cuz it’s hunger games!
I love the Hunger Games nail colors. Now I need to find a really good under eye concealer.
never been to a spa, but would really love to go to one! need to celebrate on my recent acceptance to med school (SUPER excited atm)
I like posietint!
Coffee? Is more like I put a little coffee in my sugar and cream. I like my coffee really loaded.
Favorite under $20 blush is definitely Milani Minerals Blush in Luminous.
I guess technically most MAC blushes are $20 and under, but it almost feels like cheating…
On the even cheaper end is the Sonia Kashuk blushes, love mine in tawny.
For that price range Mac has great blushes. Nice pigment and texture.
I’m officially on a “fix yo’self” mission. My goal is to get into shape, be healthy, fix my herr and step up my beauty game. It’s about time. I’ve got til June 2nd to look as good as I can for Hawaii. Your website is like a holy grail right now.
Que pasa, Tabs!
trying to plan the perfect april fools prank! haha 😛
love your blog!
Im loving orange nails right now !
Rain is good for cuddling and relaxing!
Favorite blush under $20 has to be Milani Mai Tai!
My favorite blush for under $20 is the Sonia Kashuk cream blend blush!
I like reading beauty/fashion blogs to waste time 😀
My fave way to waste time on a lazy afternoon is playing draw something and watching NBA basketball! Love the blog!
My favorite way to waste time is reading blogs – beauty, food, humor, etc.
Coffee with milk or cream please, no sugar.
I read blogs to waste time… but at least they’re educational, right?
I think coffee is best black!
Really craving a nice iced coffee… and some BE marvelous moxie lipgloss. 🙂 Thanks for everything Karen! <3
The way I usually end up wasting time is by randomly surfing the internet. Once I finish reading through various beauty blogs, I end up just looking up random things on Wikipedia. Some may classify that as having no life, but it helps me know a lot of the answers on “Jeopardy!”.
MAC has great under $20 blushes. It sounds ridiculous paying over that much for blush, then again, I’ve bought Tarte and Benefit blushes because they’re so worth it.
I recently became a daily morning coffee drinker, and quite a fussy one at that! Every time I make a cup I have to grind two tablespoons of whole beans. Freshly ground coffee really is nice, though! I think it’s worth the effort. I take my coffee with 1/2 & 1/2 only; I think sugar in hot coffee tastes like melted plastic.
Thanks for the giveaway =) Sigh.. hate to admit I’ve never been to a spa. One day though!! Umm eyeing the Sephora Pantone collection in the meantime. Have a great night!
So in love with the Sephora+Pantone collection! I love the color.
I am so excited for Spring!
I don’t have a favorite blush, I wish I did but I still have not found one that I love.
I can’t remember the brand, definitely a drugstore one though, but it’s dream mouse or something like that. It’s really the only thing I use other than Benefit. Although I did pick up an ELF blush that works pretty well also. I’m not big on blush.
Lots of family medical drama right now. 🙁
Not sure about a favorite blush. I like Tarte – both the Cheek Stain and the Amazonian clay powdered blush. As for coffee, I like it black.
favorite way to waste time: reading a book!
I can’t wait for Game of Thrones.
I am ready to win, shopping cart is ready to be checked out!
woohoo I am soo tired but happy I caught this giveaway before it ended!
Am I the only one that have not seen the Hunger games ?!?
My favourite way to waste time is by spending time on the internet!
My fav blushes are Milani Baked blushes
Watching Celebrity Apprentice!
I am loving the Bobbi brown concealer in peach
Spring break for all the kiddos in the house. Oh Boy! its going to get loud in this place!
new girl and modern family rule my world
It’s really nice of you to host these giveaways Karen 🙂
I love CoverGirl blushes for a quick, cheap thrill!
I think overall my favorite blush is still Sunbasque by MAC.
Senior Ball is next month and I’m excited : )
Im interested in trying out the Amazonian clay blushes!
I’m going to vegas this weekend! Wooooooo
I recently discovered Wet N Wild Heather Silm blush, and it is AMAZING!
I get to be my best friend’s maid of honor next month. Super excited! Would love to be able to try a new makeup look. 😉
Lately I’ve been moving away from matte foundations to dewy, semi-dewy ones! I really want to try the NARS sheer glow!
Lipstick always makes me happy 🙂
I’ve been trying BB creams lately, and feel bad for those who have a skintone darker than NC25ish because they wouldn’t be able to get in on these awesome products!
