Does your cat love stinky things? Tabs sure does. In addition to the smelly running shoes, notice the socks peeking out underneath his tum. LOL!

My neighbors probably don’t need another reason to think I’ve completely lost my mind, but that didn’t stop me from giving them another one today.
Since they already know that I take my cat out for walks on a leash, snap pictures of myself in the front yard, drive to the grocery store wearing false eyelashes, and periodically leap like this in the street, I figured heck — I have nothing else to lose. Might as well take pics of myself dancing in front of the windows while I blast Footloose and try on Tarte’s new The Starlet Limited-Edition Makeup Vanity ($52). 🙂

If I only had an old VW Bug and an empty barn, LOL! But more on the movie in a few…
As for The Starlet, a holiday kit containing makeup for eyes, lashes and cheeks, she really should be handled with care. Within my first minute with it, I’d already scratched the mirrored top.

When I was four, my favorite thing on television was The Muppet Show. I remember sitting in front of our set and praying I wouldn’t have to get up to fix the bunny ears on top of the TV, because I didn’t want to miss a single second.
I especially loved the two old dudes in the balcony who made fun of everyone, the adorable Fozzy bear, the Swedish Chef (“Bork! Bork! Bork!”) and of course, the diva of all divas, Miss Piggy.
How could you not love a glamorous pig in high heels, pearls and opera-length gloves? 🙂
It’s been a while since Miss P. and the Muppets were in the spotlight, but they’ll be back on the big screen once again, this November 23, in their new Disney flick, simply called, The Muppets.
To coincide with the movie’s release, MAC’s releasing the minuscule Miss Piggy for MAC collection, a three-piece release for eyes, exclusively online in North America and select countries on November 14.
Take a look at the pics and swatches below, and let me know if anything strikes your fancy.

Clockwise from the lower left: Lash in 36 ($15), Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapid Black ($17.50) and Eye Shadow in Miss Piggy Pink ($15)

Benefit’s at it again this year, adding fragrant fuel to the fire that is my current obsession with petite perfume bottles, by taking us down another holiday trip down Crescent Row. Their new $36 Crescent Row Limited Edition Set bundles together four of the line’s 0.43-oz. (they’re small but cute) eau de toilettes.

Tarte LipSurgence in Swank on mah lips!
Believe it or not, this swatch session for the new Tarte Lip Service Limited-Edition LipSurgence Collection ($29) actually began as something somewhat normal…



LipSurgence in Perky
But then I had two of these tiny Snickers bars (because it’s physically impossible to have just one)…

They don’t call ’em “Fun Size” for nothin’
