Makeup I Brought With Me to the Emmys

August 25th, 2014 by Karen 17 Comments

I figure that it’s better to be over-prepared than underprepared…hence the three blushes and eight million brown eyeshadows in this pic.

How I stored it all…

I swear, at least half the mass of my suitcase is due to makeup, LOL!

In other news…

My trip here to LA and the Emmys show tonight (I’ll try to keep posting through the show, but mostly on Instagram because it’s easier to sneak using my phone) was sponsored by Dove. They invited a group of beauty and fashion bloggers and other media representatives.

First, a lovely breakfast this morning, where I learned about Dove’s new line o’ body washes (launching today, and you can get a free sample, BTW) and saw these adorable little omelets shaped like doves…

When the doves scramble...

The new body washes build into a nice, sudsy lather. They’re also very moisturizing, which I thoroughly appreciated last night during my own personal #oneshowerchallenge…which is also a new Dove social media campaign. (Can you get softer, smoother skin after just one shower? Dove says you can with their new body washes.)

Countdown to the Emmys Monday Night! Greetings From Los Angeles

August 24th, 2014 by Karen 13 Comments

Going to bed early tonight to rest up for the Emmys tomorrow, which means shower and then sleep. So…question for you! Are you usually a shower at night person or a shower in the morning person?

I usually shower at night. Usually.

I just took a shower with @dove‘s Deep Moisture Body Wash and now my alligator skin smells good and feels super soft. I’m seriously thinking about wearing these jammies on the red carpet tomorrow.

G’night! #teamstretchypants #oneshowerchallenge #dove #bbloggers

Los Angeles for the Emmys with Dove!

Hello, Los Angeles! The countdown to the Emmys with @dove is on. 🙂

Even Tabs loves Pinkberry

Oh, did I mention that Tabs came along with me? Yeah, he’s here in the hotel (in the presidential suite, of course). We had Pinkberry earlier at the airport, and tomorrow he wants to try live blogging…

Pre-Emmys Shenanigans and a Dress Poll

August 22nd, 2014 by Karen 58 Comments

It’s almost time! OMG. Two more sleeps ’til I leave for the Emmys with Dove in Los Angeles. I head down there on Sunday, and the show is Monday night.

Here are the two gowns I rented from Rent the Runway. It’s important that I see how they move and look in pics because, you know, the paparazzi from Crazy Cat Lady Weekly will be there, and I want to look my best. Obvs.

Yup, I said gowns. Plural. Because I also ordered a backup (hey, how many times does someone get to go to the Emmys?), a black mermaid silhouette dress by Monique Lhuillier, which I got in case the hot pink Badgley Mischka Fluorescent Chiffon Gown made me look like a rejected extra from Toddlers and Tiaras.

I’m barely five feet tall, so this is a legitimate concern.

Anywho, Tabs votes for the pink.

What do you think? (This is a non-binding poll. I can still wear whatever I want, and I’m leaning toward the pink.)

Which dress should I wear to the Emmys?
