Greetings, gorgeous, and splendiferous salutations! Happy, happy Saturday. 🙂 In case you were wondering, no, you have not just entered Oz; however, you are about to enter this weekend’s $50 Sephora eGift card giveaway (I hope!).
Nothing new to report from out here in partly cloudy Novato, California. Been watching lots of the Olympics lately with Tabs and El Hub. The other night during one of the swimming events, it occurred to me that I jog just a wee bit faster than those swimmers swim, LOL!
Today, I’m driving down to visit my friend Jen and her little boy (My “nephew.” I’m the cool aunt.) in San Jose, which is about 70 miles from here. I’m taking Jen to the MAC counter because she wants to learn more about eye makeup.
Tabs will be holding down the fort here at MBB headquarters while I’m gone.
Oh — he has a message for you. “Meow,” which loosely translates, “Good luck in the giveaway, and have a great day.”
What folks are saying…
“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”

What’s the shortest you’ve ever cut your hair?
Six years ago I had a buzzcut.
Hi Karen, thanks for the giveaway! My artistic hobby is that I really like to paint, oils and acrilics. I’m working on a really big painting right now and am regretting the size – its taken months to finish!
Hi Karen!
My last visit to a MAC counter was back in April when I bought Ravishing lipstick; such a beautiful color!
My favorite subjects in school were any and all science courses. I loved biology and chemistry most
As for the shortest I’ve ever cut my hair… Boy short. I loved it. I’ll eventually go back to it but right now I like playing with my long hair.
I hope you can find some amazing MAC stuff for Jen! Not that it’ll be difficult for you. 🙂 have a great weekend!
The last time I went to a Mac counter was two Weeks ago 🙂
Yesterday I ordered Retrospeck and Sable from MAC. Excited!
don’t see my comment
Another great giveaway and as I always I will answer ALL your questions 🙂
What are you doing this weekend? I worked this morning, and then visited my mother-in-law.
When was the last time you visited a MAC counter? Hmmm mid June?
What should be an Olympic event but isn’t? Errrrrr, estafette with make-up brushes? 🙂
Do you have any artistic hobbies? Make-up? Writing about make-up? 🙂
What is/was your favorite class in school? It depended on the teacher, really. I always liked English. And Dutch.
What’s the shortest you’ve ever cut your hair? A short to mid length bob. And I regretted it a lot!
hi karen! happy saturday!
Hi Karen!
I just went to the MAC counter last week for a Back 2 MAC goodie. I got a Bombshell lipstick based on your review and I adore it!
HI Karen, I haven’t visited a MAC counter in over a year. I hope to get Jete e/s this fall when it is released since I love peach e/s. I really like your blog especially the unsung heroes for MAC posts. …. So creative and ingenious. Gotten lots of ideas from those posts!!!! Thanks
Hi Karen and Tabs
I love your blog very much.I have been to Sephora and MAC recently and liked quite a few things and was waiting for a sale to come up.May be this is what i was waiting for …..Fingers crossed.
The shortest I’ve cut my hair was up to my chin and i cudnt wait for them to grow back!!!!!!!
I enjoy scrapbooking from time to time.
I’m spending my Saturday(and the next week lol) watching the Olympics. I may or may not be watching multiple events at once 😛
Finally Sephora is coming to Sweden 🙂
Still having trouble applying shadow; I just can’t seem to get it right. 🙂
Love the evil squirrel trying to convince the others to jump out the door.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
I actually haven’t been to a MAC counter! I might like to go around my birthday or Christmasl though. You’ve shown me so many cool MAC things on this blog.
My favorite classes in school were science classes.
Hi Karen,
My last trip to the MAC counter was 4 days ago. I helped a friend pick out a lipstick. I’ll probably be making another stop soon since I just added some stuff to my wishlist.
I’m more of a Sephora girl than a MAC girl!
The last time I went to a MAC counter was like a year and a half ago so I guess I need to go back!
My favorite class in school was Math Analysis. All my fun projects came from that class, love math! I’m a certified nerd >_
My favourite class in school was definitely English — I had great teachers & any excuse to read is a good one!
I love your $50 Sephora giveaways and hope to win this time around. LOVE Sephora.
Hey Karen! I would love to win a gift card for my birthday! I’ve entered so many of these maybe this time I’ll get lucky!
You jog faster than the swimmers? Good job!! I am hoping to get into a good running schedule starting in September!
Hi Karen, I’m Italian, I’m following your blog for many months, I like your style 🙂 My only hobby at this time is makeup, so your blog is an inspiration for me. Thank you very much, really 🙂
I love Sephora, thanks for a chance!!
If I win I can go buy myself something nice!! xxoo
The shortest cut I had was a chin-length Bob in college, my mom flipped out because I “cut all my hair off ” . My favorite class was anything science related. Haven’t been to a Mac counter in years -their stuff tends to break me out.
This weekend is my birthday weekend, so I’m not quite sure what I plan on doing, other than hanging out with my fur babies and hubby and eating cake! 🙂
What do you think of ombre?
I’ve never been to a MAC counter, actually! I don’t own any of their products.
Serena Williams kicked booty today, winning gold at tennis singles! Go Team USA!!
I plan to watch as much of the Olympics as I can this weekend. I can’t wait to see the women’s marathon!
This weekend we are taking the new kitten to the vet for his vaccinations. Then I get Mr Felis packed and ready to go on a business trip. Then I get myself packed and ready to go to California as soon as he gets back. Never a dull moment!
What I’m doing this weekend:
It’s game time. Football is FINALLY starting!! Geaux Saints! Who Dat!
Hey Karen! It’s honestly been way too long since I’ve been at the M.A.C store. I need to pick up Soba and Kohl pencil in Feline to try out your smokey eye look! 🙂
Ive never been to a MAC counter, and I’ve never cut my hair shorter than my shoulders. This weekend I’m shopping for school supplies.
The shortest I’ve ever cut my hair? It was buzz cut/ David-Bowie-circa-1983 short once. ‘Twas a sad, sad hairdressing mishap, caused by miscommunication and too much talking. And you’ve reminded me that it’s been way too long since I’ve been to a MAC counter… Nordstrom, here i come!
Never been to a MAC counter
my favorite classes were math!
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a MAC counter. I’ve been buying all my stuff from their website! I find it’s always super busy whenever I walk by MAC so I don’t usually go in.
The last time I went to the MAC counter was well, never… but I went to the free standing store not to long ago when the Hey, Sailor! collection was released. I scrambled in there with my MAC Pro Card and everything to get my hands on the highlighting powder in Crew. And to my dismay, it was sold out. But I eventually got my hands on it on a trip to LA so hoorah!
My mom and I were smelling perfumes at Sephora yesterday. One of the Sephora ladies told me to smell a certain perfume, I then told my mom to smell it. She just goes: “It smells like cat piss!” … What a priceless moment! 😀
Bring back Olympic baseball and softball! Seriously.
Hi Karen and Tabs!!!
This weekend I plan to go to Port Huron beach in Michigan for some fun in the sun, as well as watching the Olympics non stop with my cat checkers.
The last time I visited a MAC counter was about a week ago, I got on of the last bronzers in the Hey Sailor collection, which was mostly sold out, and I love it.
I play with my make up a lot on the side, would that be an artistic hobby? I think so.
The shortest I’ve ever cut my hair was chin length, in the 8th grade. It was a big mistake for my face shape and took what seemed like forever to grow back. Never again I’ve learned by lesson, LOL.
I am sick this weekend 🙁
I’m getting ready to go to a birthday party for a woman who’s turning 91!
I got an unexpectedly short hair cut a few months back. It was about 3 inches shorter than we planned so I freaked out. My stylist was like “Well I can’t put it back now!” I went to my mom for sympathy and she said “Maybe you shouldn’t do this again…” Ugh. I realized that it wasn’t the end of the world though. Life lesson!
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a MAC counter! 😡
I haven’t been to a MAC counter in a long time. Several months at least. Sad, I know.
What am I doing this weekend? For the first time in my entire life (& I’m older than you!) I’m leaving the house wearing a full face of foundation. It’s a little overwhelming-even though I’m addicted to makeup & makeup blogs, just never got the hang of foundation. But gave it a try again after your tutorial, used a brush, and am pretty happy with the results. We’ll see! Just shopping for school shoes, so low stress. Happy weekend!
I’m hanging out with a friend who is leaving the country. It has been months (!) since I’ve been to a MAC counter…
The first/last time I saw MAC products in person was around two months ago, when I was at the capital for Comicon. They have a huge mall there, which has a MAC store. I only ever go to the capital maybe once a year, since it’s a three-hour drive.
I had a veeeery short haircut back in high school. I’m talking ears cut out, so short I could spike it up! Boy, that was a pain to grow out. Never again!
Wow I can’t even remember the last time I was at a MAC counter. It must have been quite a while ago to be honest! It’s not that MAC hasn’t been launching exciting stuff, it’s just that I’m so distracted by other brands!
I am not sure what I am doing this weekend. Something without my soon to be ex husband!
This weekend I am recovering from San Francisco marathon (it was an amazing experience!) so not doing much except hanging our with the boyfriend tonight and seeing a movie about Marie Antoinette with friends tomorrow.. last time I tried to visit the Mac store in Pasadena, it was closed down, bah!
I love the weekend
Today I spent an hour organizing my MAC online shopping cart with what I want to buy with my next paycheck, and it doesn’t even include the By Request collection! Egads.
I’m currently watching the Olympic triathlon! GO USA.
I just ordered a pizza, yum!
LOve the olympics
Adventure racing or orienteering could make for interesting Olympic events, but I really like the summer games as they are.
Hope that you have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for another great giveaway opportunity! 🙂
Funny you should ask that question today, but… I’m going to a MAC store for the first time! I have a bunch of back2mac stuff that I’ve accumulated over the years, so I’m going to go in and get myself a few free eyeshadows! Super excited!
oooh! have a blast!! we have a new MAC counter at the newest macys by my homestead and i loves. it is so clean and fancy. i could stay there all day.
At home sick today, so time to re-organize ye olde makeup stash… Pick me T-Money and K-Dawg!
Totally random: I had to break out of my room this morning…I slammed my door so hard that the knob broke 🙁 I was home alone and used a pair of scissors to break my knob and get out LOL At least now I know how to break out of a room with a pair of scissors!
Hey Karen! YOU ARE AWSOME :)!
When the winner is determined is it posted or does that person just get an email? I didn’t see the winner of the last contest.
Awe Karen I wish I could go with you to the makeup counter and learn about eyeshadow! I guess for now I will learn from you from this magical thing called the internet.
Hi Karen! Hope you’re having a Fantabulous Saturday! Watching the Olympics and rooting on USA!!
Hi! I just started to use MAC makeup and I love the Mineralize collection. It gives me a dewy look and cover a few blemish scars I have remaining. 🙂
I’ve only cut my hair short twice in my life. THe second time was an even bigger mistake than the first lol. Curly frizzy hair and the Dorothy Hamill haircut did NOT mex. Neither did the ” Meg Ryan.’ Should’ve learned my lesson!!!!
Love the Olympics!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! My artistic hobby is writing…can’t get enough of it! xoxo
mmm, mac counter sounds like fun. enjoying the blog! you’ve got me coveting the mac kohl in tarnish now. 🙂
Ms.K, I haven’t visited a MAC counter in a while but will be soon cause I love their eye makeup remover!!! I want to buy six of them but that’s expensive!!! I used to wear Lancome’s but it leaves an oily feeling around my eyes!!!……You and Tabs have a GREAT day!!!
Oklahoma is having a tax free weekend so I spent the morning shopping. And now I’m exhausted so I’m going to spend some quality time with my couch.
111 degrees for days in a row plus being 8 months pregnant equals not fun at all!
THe last time I went to the MAC counter I couldn’t tell you, I ordered my last stuff online.. because I searched high and low for Evolution Revolution and couldn’t find it anywhere! So I had to order it online. But I just went to a Sephora last night, does that count? I wish there one closer to my house though 🙁
I’m studying to become a concept artist so yes, plenty of artistic hobbies!
i’m going to the beach tomorrow and can’t wait!
Hi Karen. The shortest I’ve cut my hair was a pixie cut, and I cut it like that a few months ago. I’m debating if I should keep it short or grow it out. I like it short during the summer. I really enjoy changing my hair style regularly.
I tweeted about your giveaway https://mobile.twitter.com/rileymariesmom/status/231831191794380800
I visited a MAC store yesterday. Needed some replacement MYTH. 🙂
Hey, Karen! I’m staying at home this weekend to finish a paper, so I hope you’re having more fun than that 😛
My artistic hobbies are mostly limited to braclet making, haha.
I’ve never been to a MAC counter, but you’ve pretty much convinced me I need to get my hands on some tarnish kohl!
My cat took a wet poop on the carpet this morning..hope she isn’t sick! She was very embarrassed and feels bad about it because now she won’t leave my side or my lap. Poor girl
My AC isn’t working…and I live in Florida. It’s so grossly humid, I think if I put any makeup on it would just sweat right off..
the last time I was at a MAC counter was a Pro store in Chicago when the Chenman (and Marcel Wanders 2?) collections were out. I’ve bought some MAC products since then, but haven’t been to a physical counter since! really loved the Chenman collection, I think it’s the one MAC release where I have most of the products from the collection.
I was at a MAC counter yesterday. Just browsing around and saw lots of neat colors.
Hey Karen, Hows your weekend going? I just gave my pug a bath, and tried to give a cat a bath which was unsuccessful lol.
I just scored an Ella Moss dress that was originally $100 for $15 at Marshalls 🙂
Last time I visited a MAC counter was at the beginning of June 🙂
i use to work at macy’s so the last time i visited was about 5 years ago, i bought my friends and myself shadows with my macy’s discount. it was probably our first higher end, non-drugstore make-up. well besides bare essentials foundation. I haven’t visited since because I have too much make up already. I’m more focused on skin care now and less make up. I wish Sephora had a salon like Ulta. then i can shop and get a cut too.
The shortest I’ve ever cut my hair was a chin-length angled bob. My hair’s too long now so I plan to get it cut again.
When I was 14 I decided that I wanted to have a really short haircut. Only a couple of centimeters long. I cried for days.
Hi Karen! I’ve just discovered your blog not too long ago and I love it!
I am watching the Olympics too ;}
I hope to win this time around. LOVE Sephora.
Staying inside today…. it’s 102 degrees in OREGON! Catching up on all of the beauty sites. 🙂
My next purchase from Mac will be the lipstick in myth:)
Jewelry making. :3
Love all of your pictures of Tabs! My sweet 15 year-old kitty got very sick this week and I had to let her go 🙁 I’m trying to figure out how to go through my regular routine without a cat to follow me around and keep me company. Hope you give Tabs an extra snuggle tonight.
Gonna be tracking Tropical Storms Ernesto and Florence quite a bit this week.
I had a boy-short haircut when I was 12 and it was an absolute disaster!
I have not been to the MAC Counter in over a year. I only go when I am out of something but I have not bought a MAC item in such a long time.
This weekend i’m going to my bff’s sons baptism.
Gaming should definitely be an Olympic sport! Haha! Oh & my birthday is 1 week from now! yay!:]
i always liked foreign language classes.
I love those pics you make for your giveaways! 😀
Thanks for this giveaway and have a great weekend 🙂
Last time I visited a mac counter was about a month ago!
Left with Fire Sign lipstick and wearing it daily ever since. =D
Shame MAC is a lot more expensive here in Belgium.
My artistic hobby is making cards.
Hope you have a good weekend! I have olympic fever as well! It gets so emotional at times!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Today is my daughter’s end of summer musical
Last time I was at a MAC counter was a few months ago. I bought a MAC 109 brush and almost immediately returned it. It was stiff and scratchy and shed like the dickens!!! I have no idea why people love MAC brushes so much, I honestly felt like I got better, softer brushes from Sonia Kashuk!!
It’s 112 degrees today – too hot for make up, but that doesn’t stop me. I’m watching the Olympics too.
I am most definitely watching the Track & field category of the Olympics this weekend… The weather is beautiful today.
A few years ago, my hair was severely damaged due to over chemically processing it. I had to chop it up to my shoulders and kept cutting it every 6 weeks. I’ve stopped chemically messing with my hair since then and now my hair is soft, manageable, and beautiful! I actually got it trimmed yesterday because my hair was passed my breasts.
The last time I was at a counter was about 3 years ago – I was getting my makeup done for my now boyfriend and I’s first date!
Talking to my friend Juni 🙂
I’m doing nothing this weekend. It’s too hot to do anything other than sit in an air conditioned room and move as little as possible.
I had a bob once, horrible idea.
Yay for giveaways! I wish ballet were an Olympic event!
Maybe I’ll watch Track & Field for the first time in Summer Olympics history. I’m really proud of Oscar Pistorius making the regular Olympics. He may not be from my country, but I’m proud that the Olympics allowed him to run finally!
I’m trying to minimize my stash but i bought a backup (my first ever) of my HG highlighter (which is LE). Now I’m infatuated with the Burberry Sheer Summer Glow compact. What is up with me?!
This weekend?! Getting an oil change for my car! How exciting, huh? Preparing for a loong drive this week. Hope you had a great time with your nephew!
Lazy weekend – my fav!
I just got the MAC mineralize skin finish natural in medium dark.
Wanted to enjoy the weekend but stuck indoors with a major migraine. No fun but winning a card would be great 🙂
I am always scared to go to the mac counter.. I’m afraid of the potential pushy sales people
Preparing for my niece’s baptism next week! I’m so excited, especially since one of my cousins is getting married the week after!
The shortest I have cut my hair was my jaw bone level.
The shortest I ever cut my hair was in 6th grade when I cut off 14 inches for Locks of Love and had a bob!
My favorite class was European History.
The swimmers swim faster than I jog too!
This is a cool contest.
I have to share this: I bought today the most beautiful blue eyeshadow ever! MAC Blue Candy and it was only 10.50, yaaay 😀
I haven’t been to a MAC counter since last month. I would like to check out the new collection, but I feel a little uncomfortable after one of the associates seemed annoyed about my making a return. 🙁
I went to the wedding party and might go out tomorrow 🙂
All I have to say is that right now I’m addicted to The X-Files (the whole thing’s on Netflix, praise jebus) and I really want to know what lipstick Scully is wearing!
I am addicted to red lipstick….but have yet to find what I think is the perfect shade. I never leave the house without it on.
My recent creative endeavor has been quilting and I have made one for my husband a 2 table toppers that are quite colorful looking- almost like fireworks.
last time i visited a mac counter was about two months ago, to pick up woodwinked;)
my skin is horrible today:( any suggestions?
Catching up on TV shows today!
Hey Karen, thank you for the giveaway! 🙂
I’m so excited to be back in school! I can’t wait to make new friends, study my chosen major, I missed it so much. Pretty nerdy, haha, but I can’t help it, I love learning. :3
I think I need to make a MAC counter a visit today too
I wish I had someone like you to take me to a Mac counter, or any cosmetic counter for help. Especially for eye makeup. I’m starting to learn what works for me but am still close to hopeless. I was hoping to look at some Mac cosmetics today but it was not to be. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway – have a good weekend!
Going to Vietnam today! Hope the trip goes on smoothly and we will have a great time.
Ooh, that sounds like a fun trip! I recently went makeup shopping with a friend for the first time, and it was so much fun! I wish she didn’t live so darn far away, though.
The last time I visited a Mac counter was last night. Picked up blush, lipstick, eyeliner, and oil-control lotion. Love all their products!
Hacky sack should be an Olympic sport hee hee
I have to go to work in an hour and a half… yuck!
I visited MAC counter long long ago. They are not too helpful there so I don’t like to go to one near me. 🙁
i like to paint.
My 14 yr old daughter has rekindled my interest in good makeup. We are having fun experimenting and trying new things.
oooh karen i would love to win!
I have a confession to make. I’m in my 30s and I have only just gotten into makeup. Nail polish was my gateway drug and it was a quick progression to lip color and eye makeup. I’m now in the market for some good makeup brushes, brush cleaner, brow pencils, and the perfect nail top coat. I am already dreaming away that $50…
I just visited my MAC store yesterday to check out the Tarnish eyeliner. Sadly, they were out of it so now i have to go to another store.
Went to a MAC counter a couple months ago, but actually just got my MAC fix the other day by doing some online shopping 🙂
I’m a bit scared of the MAC store at my mall, so it’s been years!
Just spent the day laying on the hot driveway. finally AC!!!
Actually went to Fiesta this year! (Old Spanish Days is the official name…) Didn’t stay long, but it was nice to be able to go at all, usually I work the whole time.
I’ve never approached the MAC counter.. their prices intimidate me!
Really? Only a comment on anything? I love your cat, Tabs…I have three myself…Eli, Emmy and Sasha. Thanks for the blog. Love it. Very informative.
i think mac used to release better limited edition collections… what do you think?
I’ve been loving Olympic swimming!
Just bought the Boscia No Pores No Shine TZone treatment…and wow! It actually works! I actually slept in my makeup (I know, big no-no), but wanted to try this overnight, since my face produces alot of oil at night too. Wow! Woke up this morning, and my makeup still looked great!
I am totally stalking the MAC website for the relaunch of Candy Yum Yum, hehe
Angled bob, a la Victoria Beckham. It was cute but I doubt I would do it again.
lazy day today!
hiii karen 🙂
I’ve never actually gone to a MAC store and personally bought something, I’ve always gone with a friend because they wanted/needed something, but I’ve never actually purchased anything personally.
Hooooowever, I absolutely love love love Sephora 🙂 I buy stuff from there all the time!
PS. I live like, 45 mins north of San Jose 🙂 ♥
I got my hair trimmed and and my eyebrows threaded this weekend!
Def some things at Sephora I’d love to pick up!
Girrrl, I’m ready for some new makeup!
Love this blog.
Really short and it went all curly.
I don’t have a MAC counter for 2 hours in any direction, so I only have been once! However, I order from their website weekly! LOL
Ah, I wish I had a decent mall near me 🙁
My favorite class was physical anthropology!
I spent the day at the beach and I’m spending tonight reading books for school and watching Mean Girls on ABC family.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a MAC counter. None of their new releases have warranted it lately!
I just discovered that a Mac counter opened up at the mall nearest my house! Only 15 minutes away woohoo!
Having a relaxing weekend after a visit from family.
Never went to a mac counter!
Today is really overcast which is nice. I can’t wait for autumn weather. It looks like it’s gonna be a lazy day!
What lipstick are you wearing today karen?
Just inflated the kiddie pool from my childhood. Nostalgia makes hot weather seem more bearable.
I just got my DSLR camera today. I’m super excited to try it out, maybe someday my photos will be as beautiful as yours!
Thanks for the giveaway and have a great weekend!
my eye makeup is sometimes inspired by my favorite ice-cream flavors
today it is mint choco chip
Just volunteered 7 hours today, thanks for the giveaway!
My mum gave me a bowl cut once in elementary school – never again!
Bowl cut and I was chubbz…. 😐
We both wear NC42…
complexion twins!!
and I feel as though vacuuming should be an Olympic sport.
Happy Saturday. I haven’t been to a mac counter in like 5 years. I still have the same lip liner that I bought.
I worked this morning, had a Paparazzi jewelry party this afternoon and now I’m chilling with a glass of wine and I might venture outdoors for a quick bonfire before it starts to rain.
My favorite class was Painting,so therapeutic 🙂
Both days this weekend we will have friends over with their kids. It will be chaos, but fun.
What should be an Olympic event but isn’t? UFC ^_^
Just a random comment: I have a dog a German Shepherd and we called her Star
I follow you in twitter @Edna_MR I retweeted: https://twitter.com/Edna_MR/status/231923355933093888
Thanks for the giveaway.
Foosball should totally be an Olympic event!!
in seventh grade i thought it was a good idea to get my hair cut a little bit longer than a bob. worst. idea. ever.
I had my hair cut much shorter last week actually. I’ve been gradually going shorter and now it is just above my chin. Love it!
so happy its the weekend! 🙂
I got bored so I randomly swatched every single eyeshadow I own! (does anyone else do that? lol)
Yeah!
The shortest I ever cut my hair was a lovely (sarcasm here) bowl cut in middle school. I hate seeing pictures of this haircut to this day!
My hair was once halle berry short
I tweeted!
It’s late Saturday night….and I gotta work tomorrow. Oh how I dislike working weekends….
Hi Karen! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
My latest visit to MAC counter was yesterday and I got some of the electric cool eyeshadows!
I’m an aunt!!!!! My brother became a dad yesterday. My first nephew!!!
My favorite subject in school was Social Studies especially Geography and History. My artistic hobbies are crafting. I knit, crochet and make jewelry.

Hi Karen, my first trip to the MAC counter was when I was around 19 and bought my first “high end” foundation, concealer, and compact. I had a drag queen friend who had the most flawless beautiful skin and SWORE by MAC and told me exactly what to buy. I’ve moved away from their foundations and powders but am still religiously devoted to their concealers and shadows. Blessings to all!
I actually have never been to a MAC counter. I have always lived in towns too small to have a MAC. I order all my makeup online anyway because I can’t get anything good around here.
Hey Karen! The shortest I cut my hair was a travesty of a bob in college. Not a good look for me but thankfully my hair grows super fast.
My last trip to a MAC counter was over six months ago when I put myself on a buying freeze. Now I just spend my money on running gear! Whatevs! 🙂
I love doing nail art! That’s an artistic hobby right? 😉
Party for my son’s 4th birthday today. : )
Haven’t been to a Mac counter in a few hours lol!
Xo
The shortest I’ve ever cut my hair is right now. It’s a pixie-ish look like what Emma Watson did to her hair
I’m lying in bed all weeked. Stupid allergies have got me feeling crappy.
Snaps for giveaways and fabulous makeup. My purse was stolen last night (with tons of makeup inside) so a gift card will help 🙂
I walked by the MAC counter today, but didn’t stop–bought too much of the Heavenly Creature collection last month!
It was soooo funny how during the US national anthem for the tennis olympics, the flag flew away. 🙂
I am helping my sister move this weekend; oy. I’d much rather be visiting the Mac counter. 🙂
I can’t wait for autumn!
Can you believe I’ve never visited a MAC counter?? I own only 1 item by MAC that I won in a giveaway and I’m crazy about it! My Twitter name is @babybraddy.
Karen, Queen of Sephora, thank you for the chance at the giveaway.; I was at Sephora today as a matter of fact, and I happened to walk right past hte Mac counter (inside Macy’s) to get there. I used to be a Mac finatic for year and years, but find myself loving Dior and YSL and Tarte right now. Bought Dior Nude Glow powder (in Amber) today and I’m in complete love. Never used to wear powder but this one is a game changer. Going to check to see if you have reviewed this yet. Thanks again!
My mac wish llist keeps on growing
This is my last week teaching as a tennis camp coach.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I was at a MAC counter today, and thoroughly underwhelmed. Nothing jumped out at me! 🙁
so i was on a semi makeup buying ban for 2012 as part of my new years resolution…semi because i was still allowed to buy necessities (isn’t everything?) and LE items that i really NEEDED to have. i was mostly good for half of the year – that’s good, right? 😉
One sport that should be in the Olympics but isit, would have to be BEERPoNG. i would so win a gold medal for sure! (:
I’m working for this weekend boo =D
I love Oreos, thanks for the giveaway!
this weekend, i’m relaxing at home with some great books and going to the restaurant 🙂
I haven’t been to a MAC counter in a while, I’ve been shopping online. Recently purchased the 187 brush and should have it Monday; so excited!
I think the last time I went to a MAC counter was a few months ago… I stopped and bought Viva Glam VI on a whim and it’s now my absolute favorite lipstick of all time.
I’m considering venturing over to my local CCO for the first for my birthday on Friday.
I once had chin length hair. It was pretty cute. 🙂
Yikes I was at the MAC counter last week when my mom was visiting and we went shopping!
I got a new Peachtwist blush for summer and I just love it, it’s different from any other blush I own. I usually go for very neutral shades so I’m really loving it. Happy Weekend Karen!
My favorite class in school was English. Have a nice weekend Karen! =)
Just booked our annual summer Vegas trip. The hubs and me are taking the rents to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Excited to see O @ The Bellagio. 🙂
When you go into a makeup store and come out with a few items, what is that one item or brand you can never leave the store without? (ex. NARS, OPI, eyeshadow, blush)
I know it sounds weird, but pole dancing should totally be an olympic sport. Not the kind strippers do, but the actual art of pole dance. It’s extremely difficult-like gymnastics on a pole.
Went to MAC today at one mall and went to the pro store yesterday…it’s like I can’t get enough haha
Wow! It”s been almost a year since i went to MAC.
The shortest I ever cut my hair was a hideous pixie type thing. And it WASN’T what I went in for. i asked for a bob, but she said she started cutting and felt INSPIRED halfway through that I would look better in a pixie. It was HIDEOUS. I held in the tears until the salon door shut & then started sobbing so hard I couldn’t even drive home. (I borrowed my mom’s wigs for almost a month until it had grown out a little) Ahhhhhhh memories. 🙂
This weekend im pretty much staying glued to my TV watching the olympics, this,makes it seem Like I have no life. I’ve actually never tried Mac, is that odd?
It’s been 2 years since I’ve went to MAC…must go soon!
this weekend its all Olympics all the time! So bummed that tonight is the end of swimming
Today I took my family to the beach. The weather was perfect here.
I don’t think of myself as very artistic except when it comes to playing with my make up!! 🙂
I got a pixie cut yesterday. Such an excellent decision!
Had the best day today! I feel like I’m opening myself up to more possibilities than I knew were possible ~ as cliche as it sounds. But I feel like I’m becoming more bolder with people.
Today I attended my first Zumba class. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to do it again! 🙂
My husband and I took our son to a sibling prep class and two birthday parties today.
As silly and random as this sounds… I am so enjoying the storm that is outside right now. I find them to be soothing and relaxing 🙂
I was just at the MAC counter last week. Picked up a Studio Careblend powder and Bountiful Brown eyeliner.
My last purchase at a mac counter was a 217 blending brush! It’s my second mac brush, and the first one I purchased for myself. Still getting the hang of using it though…
I saw magic mike finally! great dances..plot was ok though
I have been loving the Olympics this past week.
My favorite class was photography.
I visited a MAC counter just yesterday!
I get to see a movie with my husband for the first time since we had our son! So excited!!!
I was at the MAC counter last Wed but I didn’t buy anything and unfortunately no exciting plans this weekend, just working.
I haven’t visited a MAC counter for ages, actually~ I should get on that! I’m really curious to check out the Electric Cool eye shadows. 😀
Thanks for having these regular giveaways! I’m super broke right now so it would be amazing if I get one!
The past few weeks were hard, this would cheer me up!
So funny, my husband Dan is down in San Jose this weekend! His Army Reserve unit is doing a change of command ceremony in the morning and he’ll be flying back into PDX and getting home here in WA about 8:30-9 pm tomorrow night. I hope you have fun while you’re down there!
Mama needs a Sephora Shades of Nature palette!
Just bought the cargo blush in Rome.. Amazingggggg!! Could you do a tutorial in which you use tht and a highlighter to sculpt glowing cheeks?:)
Oh I just visited a MAC counter yesterday and bought an amazingly beautiful pigment called Old Gold! Just love it!
tweet: https://twitter.com/Menia_Chatzaki/status/232060028755001344
Just went out to have breakfast with my hubby and my mom. Loved it.
I don’t go to a MAC store in my country which is Belgium because in my opinion it’s too expensive. I’d rather splurge when I’m in the US.
I would rather pay a ticket to fly to the US and spend the rest of my money on makeup then buy 1 product here that I think is not fairly priced because of the $/€ conversion and Belgian taxes (which are 21%)… 😉
Have a wonderful (Sun(ny))day
I am not sure about events, but I wish the Parolympics got more coverage/popularity!
I think they should bring back olympic tug-o-war. Not the most complicated sport, but I bet it would make great TV.
I like most olympic sports so I’m not sure what else they could add, kinda stinks they don’t have baseball/softball anymore
I am heading to a classic car show today with my hubby. Then hopefully making a stop at Sephora. 🙂 Hope you’re having a great weekend Karen!
Just used my Macy’s gift card to stock up on MAC brush cleanser, Charged Water, Pink Swoon blush and Yogurt e/s.
Inlaws are visiting and I have to work. The last time I went to MAC was last week and bought Heavenly Creatures Star Wonder MSF. I really like it. I haven’t bought anything from MAC since December.
Cake.
It’s been so hot here all week and my apartment doesn’t have air conditioning. But a thunderstorm is brewing, and I’m psyched!
Karen have a great weekend. Every kid should have a cool aunt! I think I’m gonna run over to Ulta today to try out the new Naked foundation. Have you tried it yet?
It’s been about 6 monthes since i went to mac-need to go back soon!
im hungry!
I was at a MAC counter yesterday! I got soft ochre paint pot. 🙂
Celebrated my daughters 12th birthday Saturday!! She wants to start wearing makeup….. an so it begins : )
Last time I visit a mac counter was 2 months ago I got my Rebel Lipstick and a week later I got
Mac Pink swon blush . And I am digging Mac Rocker but that will be difficult to get is only online purchase
My fab at school was painting and Spanish. Spanish still is Now am a Spanish teacher 🙂
Just got home from vacation!
I think the last time I visited a MAC counter was last year.
Yesterday was relaxing because I gave myself a mani/pedi that came out perfectly, but today, I’m heading downtown to attend a free concert in the park and have a picnic with my best friend! I haven’t been to my hometown’s downtown area in 1-2 years (I’m a college student), so I’m really looking forward to this.
watching the games!
i am so not excited about it being monday tomorrow. 🙁
I tried archery for the first time this weekend!
I tried archery for the first time this weekend!
I want to stop by the MAC counter today, and pick up Amber Lights. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.
It is rainy this weekend, so I am just relaxing at home!
It was my birthday yesterday!
The hubs and I went to Ikea yesterday! Haven’t been in YEARS and it was awesome 🙂 sore legs today, but can’t complain because we picked up some nifty items!!!
I haven’t been to a MAC counter since June and I didn’t buy anything then. I’m on a beauty/everything budget. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I haven’t been to a MAC counter in forever. Actually, this reminds me that its probably about time that I treat myself to a new lipstick! Yay!
did the great urban race yesterday!
Today am hosting a 30+ person luncheon at my house. It’s a bit overwhelming, I’m glad I only do it once every two years.
Since I’ll be so busy I won’t have time to do impeccable makeup 🙁
The last time I visited a Mac Counter was when the Shop/Cook collection was out. I really want to go back but I always spend too much money !
I went to Ulta yesterday and just purchase Benefit’s Porefessional. I can’t wait to try it out!
I am a new twitter follower and I tweeted about this AMAZING giveaway!
https://twitter.com/Ladies_Lounge1/status/232141208405803008
Thanks so much Karen 🙂
Really looking forward to trying the new urban decay smoked palette! lovely giveaway!
The shortest I have ever had my hair is chin length and it was definitely not my favorite look! Now I stick with shoulder length or longer.
I’ve only been to a MAC counter once.
I just bought Lorac’s Pro Palette as an early birthday gift, can’t wait to try out some new looks!
My hair is short now, and has been for the last couple of years. I think I’ll be a short haired girl for life 🙂
I’m driving this weekend. 🙂 Yesterday was a 6.5 hour round-trip day and today is only a 4 hour round-trip. Oh, and I slept during the little time I was at home.
need mor makeup. haha
My husband and I are trying to decide what to do today. On the one hand, there’s always house chores like cleaning the bathroom, laundry, mowing the lawn, etc. But then there’s also “The Dark Night Rises,” “Ted,” the beach, Pike Place Market and a ton of other fun stuff. Decisions, decisions!
My favorite class was English.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to Mac! Is that bad? Probably good for my wallet. Hah.
This July was the first time I didn’t go to Sephora to get my free birthday gift! ;(
My hair was super super short and spiky through a good portion of highschool. Think Halle Berry.
I took my son to the movies this weekend, and didn’t drag him to shop for makeup at all!!
I’m just relaxing at home…but a trip to the mall sounds tempting…want to go grab some of Victoria’s Secret Pink with a Splash Body Mist in Fresh & Clean!
This weekend is all about unpacking and settling into my new apartment. Luckily, almost all of my makeup made the journey from Boston to Indiana unscathed!
I had a facial yesterday and it was wonderful.
I was at a MAC counter last week to B2M for See Sheer lipstick which is the perfect summer color for me!
Oh, yes! Headed to Orlando for a work presentation in 2 weeks and want a new foundation-UD Naked or YSL Touche Eclat foundation? Hmmmm….
I got a pixie cut in 2002 following a hair relaxing disaster! 🙁
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to fall into a movie – like, going to a theater, watching, and then all of a sudden…right in the middle of the action. The last movie I went to was The Dark Knight Rises – I think I’d be tripping over myself to get to Marion Cotillard ^-^;
i love summer!
STUDYING this weekend for final exams in nursing school!!! UGH to the maxxx. But I gotta do it! Hoping to win this….
Haven’t been to a MAC counter in a looong time. Thanks Karen!
Karen – would love to see anymore basic tips you have for eye makeup. The last one you did was great.
It’s been almost a year since i’ve been to mac… i really need to make another trip!
The shortest my hair has ever been – razored up the back of my head. Still miss the incredible ease of getting ready when my hair was that short!
The last time I visited a MAC counter was in Chicago about 6 mos ago. I do all my ordering online from Nordstrom. Super quick FREE shipping.
I’m really sad that the Olympic swimming events are over. How will I possibly objectify hot male swimmers now?! I kid, I kid.
I’d rather stay reading MBB all day. Boo work!
I just got a pixie haircut! Sooo scary but I love it!
So many things I could buy with a $50 Sephora gift card. 🙂
Love the blog. Hope I win =)
It’s been less than a month since my last visit to a MAC counter.
I went to the MAC counter weeks ago, only because there isn’t one where I live so I have to travel to get to one. But sephora on the other hand… I usually go once every week! Love it in there. We just got one in June, I’m obsessed. Thanks so much for this giveaway, I’ve been really wanting the makeup forever HD complexion starter kit, so this gift card would go to good use. 🙂
Visited a MAC Counter about a month ago for the Heavenly Creatures collection
I need to go to Mac to finally try Satin Taupe eyeshadow!
I was at MAC last week to exchange MSF Natural Dark for MSF Natural Medium Dark. The SA gave me the wrong color to contour. Oops!
I haven’t been to the mac counter is so long! I need to swing by soon and peep some glosses.
I was in a Mac store just yesterday, tried some nice lip glass but resisted because I have so many already.
Cant wait to try MAC’s new collections coming out for the fall!!
going shopping today
It is ridiculously hot in the PNW today – HOT. Cooling down with a vodka cocktail 😉
I love writing!!! 🙂 (but I want to take on scrapbooking, too!)
Haven’t been to a MAC counter since last fall…my Blot Powder has lasted all this time!
I got a pixie cut once. I loved it but not sure I would have the guts to do it again.
End of a birthday weekend – had a great time but it sucks so bad that i am now over 60 – but I still love makeup♥
Luv your blog Karen I hope I win, I’ve never won anything.
I really want to win this!
Karen you should do a monthly favorites on your blog. Or a holy Grail products.
I’m drinking water.
Sad today because I have to return my newest Dior palette. It was just not pigmented like my other Dior palettes!! 🙁
Shopping……………
“if you’re not first, you’re last” …. GO TEAM USA!!
Meoow, Tabs! — from your feline fan, Lucy
I’ll be spending all weekend watching the Olympics.
Perfect day for driving through a car wash!
I’m gardening today.
i’m spending all weekend watching the olympics!
The shortest I have ever had my hair was when I had an opps moment and really over did it with a relaxer and didn’t wait had my hair colored a week later lets just say when it was all done I looked like GI Joe lol 🙂
i think book binding was my favorite class ever
I’ve never been to a MAC counter before, just a Clinique one 🙁
Have you seen the Japanese hammer thrower guy, Koji Murofushi? OH MY GOD HOT.
It just started raining here in Virginia. I wanted to go swimming in the pool, but Mother Nature decided against me !
Coincidentally I went to Sephora and bought a bunch of nail polish and beauty accessories. Also I’ve went to a picnic!
just bought my first MAC foundation (the face & body foundation) and I looove it!
The last time that I visited a MAC Counter was to purchase my favorite foundation which is Studio Fix Fluid and my favorite eyebrow pencil in Spiked. I spent time admiring all of the different lipsticks and was making a list of different lipsticks I wanted to purchase in the future.
i have been relaxing and watching the Olympics this weekend. Its been hard though trying not to see who won the day’s events when you’re constantly on twitter and facebook but so far so good.
cant wait for this hot weather to cool down a bit over here in Ont Canada
Yay! Just made it in time! -D
This weekend hubby and i were going to our babymoon in Orlando however the hotel we booked was very very bad, the pictures we saw online were complete opposite as to what it was so we ended up coming back home and making the best out of it here. Today we are just relaxing 🙂
I’ve never been to a Mac and there isn’t a Sephora where I live 🙁
I love makeup forever rouge artist intense! #’s 29,31, 42, 45 nw50 for reference
I had my “me-time” today and it feels sooooooo refreshing. I am ready to take on the new week.
I just got back from a weekend of camping and can’t wait to take a shower!
Ryan Lochte seems like a really dumb player.
I accidentally cut part of my bangs as a kid all the way to my scalp. Oops. Was trying to cut the “curly out” then realized I had a bald spot!
Wedding next weekend!
ooh, I’ve been eyeing that Lorac palette, I know where this is going if I win. 🙂
I just got back from camping with some friends– it was great! I haven’t visited a MAC counter in about 2 months- which is pretty long for me. I really want to get into painting.. I’ve bought a couple of things to get me started I just haven’t found the time or the drive to even start such a big project. I love watching the Olympics 🙂 It’s great and I haven’t really thought about anything that isn’t included in the Olympics.. I think that everything that should be included already are.
I am so happy to be home with my poodle Phaedra. I was out of town for my bff’s wedding and while it was fantastic, I am very glad to be home.
I love you and tabs!!! Hope you have a great weekend! Almost as much as I hope to win 😉
This weekend was spent almost 100% in front of the TV/computer, watching the Olympics obsessively! 🙂
Just got home from a long work week! Time to hit the pool!
It’s funny that you called yourself K-Dawg because one of my younger co-workers calls me C-Dawg 🙂
It’s been a while since I have been at a MAC counter, because I mostly buy online.
I didn’t do much this weekend, just worked, watched Olympics, and cleaned lol.
I last visited a M.A.C. counter for the Shop M.A.C Cook M.A.C. collection. I’m more of an online, lazy shopper! The latest palette you put together for your friend is making me want to go shopping again!
Went to the Mac counter in Captola a few weeks ago😊, I actually NEEDED some eye shadows this time! Lol! Wanted to purchase one of the limited edition lip liners but with my luck they were all sold outðŸ˜
Watching the giants game with my 5 year old today! Thank goodnes they are on a winning streak again!! Woohoo
I am a HUGE fan of beauty blogs and I am so glad to have found yours! Thanks for the giveaway.
I am sick of the humidity and ready for fall!
I’ve never actually been to a MAC store! I know I can’t afford anything so I just avoid the temptation entirely.
Must hit up the Indy MAC store soon (yes, we have a real store, not just a counter in the big dept stores) – my eyeshadow pots are nearly empty! I always overspend when I go…
I haven’t been to MAC counter in a year. I try to avoid going too often because I always find way too much to buy!
Best weekend ever!!!
Going to start my own beauty blog soon!
ahhhhh its been WAYYYYYY too long since I’ve stepped in a MAC store 🙁
Actually don’t need to go to MAC counter cuz you provide all the inform…but no really its been while..need to go there soon !!
I’ve been watching the Olympics too! Track&Field are my favorite events, maybe because the ladies are so glamorous!
I’ve loved seeing Michael Phelps win, but sad he is retireing. Guess it’s better to go out on top.
Love your beauty blog! Spent this weekend glued to the Olympic coverage! I have used several tips of yours to make my morning makeup routine just a smidge faster! Would love to hit up Sephora for a shopping spree! 🙂 Happy face painting!
I haven’t been to the MAC counter in sooo long. But I keep meaning to go to pick up some Russian Red lipstick. I’ve always been scared to wear a really red lipstick, but I think I’m going to try something new 🙂
My boyfriend of two years broke up with me recently, so a makeup spree would probably help my mood 🙁
In other news, read today that those OCC Lip Tars are coming to Sephora in the fall…super excited to try those out.
I visited a Mac counter last week for new eyeshadow. Naked Lunch!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh Snap! I think I saw this on my phone *last week* and didn’t enter. Doh. I want to play. I see almost everybody is doing Mac so well I was there a couple of weekends ago ~ Pro Shop in chicago and got the Show Orchid, Violetta and a new to me foundation. Plus some eye shadows. I am kinda done with the make`up shopping this season or at least the budget says so. Although I am craving some red lips and a gc would help ever so much
This weekend I just relaxed something I rarely do. I put braids in my hair, visited some family, and attended a birthday party. Now since it’s the end of my weekend I had planned on cooking some green thai curry chicken with brown and veggies, but my rice cooker just stopped working. I just made a simple wrap and will go get another one tomorrow. My weekend was pretty boring but eh sometimes boring is good.
Great blog! I was just at sephora yesterday!
I think speed reading should be a sport LOL Only one I could compete in. Used to have a super short stacked cut, shaved in the back.
would love a mini sephora haul!
I’ve actually watched a lot of the Olympics this year.
I wanted to go next week to my hometown, but I don’t want to leave my 3 pomeranian! They are my babies! And I Can’t drive 3 1/2 hrs with them…
Today I actually had a day off 🙂 So I’m enjoying some good family time, relaxing and my mother and I made dinner 🙂
This weekend is full of working then celebrating the end of summer with some mini vacations!
Shopping for tax free weekend!
I went to the MAC counter over the weekend and picked up a new color–Sketch. Can’t wait to try it on myself!
I’m starting beauty school in a week and I’m so excited 🙂
Spent all day at the lake here in SC!! Finally a day of actual rest and relaxation! If only a masseuse had appeared out of thin air….I need magical powers! LOL
The last time I went to the Mac counter it was a horrible experience! Just bad customer service sadly 🙁
what collection are you most looking forward to right now? I’m finding it difficult to get excited for the ones I’ve seen so far.
Spent the weekend doing chores…now enjoying some sangria !
Loved your recent tutorials!
I hope I win!
Discovering all kinds of Olympic sports this weekend! Water polo anyone??
Spent my weekend working and doing my sister’s hair. Can’t wait to go to sleep
Yay for long weekends!
I had a great weekend; hope you did too!
I love MAC! I recently bought the lipstick in ravishing from there!!Love
Shortest I’ve ever cut my hair was a pixie cut. I loved it! I have long hair now, which I do love, but sometimes I wish I had short hair again.. not ready to make the plunge again yet though 😉
Stuck at work, in serious need of some Starbucks!
The shortest I have cut my hair was up to my collar bone and before I cut it, it was down to my hips!!!! But ya I didn’t regret because I wanted to cut it really bad so I did it!!! And when the lady was fi finished cutting my hair it felt so light and I just kept playing with it I was just so happy but that was like 2 years ago lol
The last time I went to Mac I can’t remember it was so long ago lol but I do remember the last thing I bought it was the angel lipstick such a great lipstick love it!!!
The last time I went to Mac was so long ago but the last thing I bought from there was the angel lipstick it is such an amazing lipstick!!
We celebrated my son’s 3rd birthday on Friday!
Party with friends… and a little dancing
Would you believe my first trip to the MAC counter was this weekend? I decided it was finally time to buy an eye shadow brush, already, instead of using the tiny little foam things that may or may not come with the shadow. The 239 is now mine, and I loooove it.
So excited about my recent Tarte purchases!
On a quest for better health and weight loss!
I just moved and need to treat myself to a little skin pick me up — $50 could come in oh so handy! XO
I love the Olympics!
Olympics!!! Love Michael phelps!!
I’m really enjoying the olympics
need to catch up on the olympics – for some reason i’m not into it as much as I usually am, this year.
I am 7 shadows in to my first MAC palette! WOO!
cant stop watching the olympics! i really wanted oscar from south africa to win a medal in the 400m race!
one really funny incident i wanted to share : my son is fussy eater , there was some function few days back in his school and it was too late by the time we finished everything ,.So we headed to nearby restaurant and ordered our food . For him we ordered kids combo but my son refused to eat anything , saying … “i dont like food here , mamma cooks the BESTTT” and me and hubby laughed hard , how easy it is for kids to fool us na ?? by this he was easily escaped and made us happy too with his one liners .
Kids i tell you …
I haven’t been to a MAC in sooo long, last time was around new years to pick up azalea blossom. Sephora’s been monopolizing my beauty dollars this year…
Cant wait for next weekend. Taking our boy to universal studios!
I just went to my best friend’s first ever house warming party! I’m so proud of her.
#wannabebeautyblogger
Love you guys. xo
So I don’t know about anyone else here, but I am LOVING chartreuse right now. I see it everywhere! Especially chartreuse and gold jewelry, droooooool.
Thanks for the giveaway!
It was Monica Bellucci’s ad for docle&cabana, that made me cut my hair like her’s. And I never had this so short but I totally rock it with curls!
Must…..Resist…..MAC! Every time I go near that counter it’s always “to look.” Next thing I know my pocket book is $50 lighter and I have a bag full of goodies! It’s like shopping amnesia! You walk out in a daze like “Wait, what just happened? Oh MAC.”
Hello….I never been on a MAC counter :'(….I really would love to try it 🙂
I haven’t been to a MAC counter in a month. Prior to that, at least 3+ months. I live at least 1.5 hours away and I hate going to Louisiana locations because the girls are usually rude. Jackson, MS ladies are always awesome. I actually back 2 mac and got Snob 🙂
But hey, I have a cremesheen and longwear creme lippie arriving tomorrow. Online shopping is my favorite!
Having curly hair, I always want to go super short but am always afraid I’m just gonna look a mess. I shall have to brave next time!
Hello! Since we moved to the desert, I have only worn make up twice. It’s too dang hot to wear make up! I’ll muster up the effort to put on my face, but I don’t know when that will happen. :o/
Watching my late night guilty pleasure, Drop Dead Gorgeous!
$50 to Sephora would be AMAZING! I don’t own any high end makeup but have been wanting some for soo long! This would be great to win! 🙂 I’m very into makeup and beauty and skincare! 🙂 Check out my blog. 🙂 I just started! xobeautygirl.blogspot.com
I love the Olympics. Gymnastics are my favorite. 😀
Celebrated the boyfriend and my 2nd anniversary! 🙂
You know what’s weird? I’ve never been to a MAC counter. I bought stuff from Blogger’s obsessions online and received the rest I own (not much) as gifts. I’m desperately trying to find out my foundation shade though so I’m going soon!
It wasn’t a counter, but I was in a MAC store in the (gigantic) West Edmonton Mall when I was in Canada last week.
Had a relaxing weekend by visiting my parents who had home backed scones for tea.Then I went to the French film festival and saw a wonderful movie called Chicken with Plums.It was so sad it made my 15 year old son and myself cry.After the movie we then had fantastic fish and chips at a very good restaurant .To top this off I did some shopping at the supermarket and bought yummy strawberries.
The last time I visited a MAC counter, I was impressed by the woman’s ability to understand my color-babble. “Hello, I’m looking for a matte red lipstick. I want it to be darker red, not really bright pin-up red, but not burgundy that has too much purple in it. Understand?” She immediately went for Viva Glam 1 and it’s AWESOME.
I really want to win so that I can buy that new lorac pro palette
This would be great for a future college student!
Over the weekend all I did research new beauty products,fall trends, and hang out with my boyfriend.
I really want the UD Smoked palette but can’t afford it right now so I’m crossing my fingers and toes that I win!
A little frustrated over Canada-US Women’s Soccer Semifinal.
Oh, and my birthday is coming up and I want to treat myself to some new Sephora goodies. So excited.
