I figure that it’s better to be over-prepared than underprepared…hence the three blushes and eight million brown eyeshadows in this pic.
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…
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.)
After breakfast I headed to something called the Dove Bling Bar, set up here in the hotel, and picked this cute cuff to wear with my…PINK DRESS!
Yes, I decided on the pink one. 🙂
Um…is it weird that I like this cuff because it’s kind of Wonder Woman-y?
Now I’m just getting my makeup and my hair did for the show…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Thanks for sharing all of the fun anticipation with us! Can’t wait to see your final look
You sure like to have options Lady!! 😀 So excited to see how you look in the end!! 😀
Have an incredible time at the Emmys and lots of fun! Keep posting pictures!
Ahhh! I’m so excited for you and to see your final look!!!
Congrats on the sponsorship for the trip! And that’s so exciting! Had I had this opportunity my suitcase would probably be nothing BUT beauty products 😀
Exciting!
Have a blast, Karen!! What a fun day. I know you’ll enjoy every second of it 🙂
If you’re here for the entire week, you should have a LA meetup!
So great that you’re letting us live vicariously through you. So much FUN!!!
Your video made me laugh. Lookin fly.
Hope you had fun.
This is so cool! Just signed up for my free sample! I love their sensitive skin body washes and beauty bars.
Those makeup bags can hold an impressive amount of makeup! 🙂 Your final makeup look is stunning, Karen. And I love the dove-shaped omelets — adorable!
I hope you have a great time! Following your updates on Instagram 🙂
I just came back from a road trip to Virginia so I can relate to this lol. I packed so much stuff! I need to invest in a makeup bag like your green one. That will definitely come in handy for long trips! It looks like it holds so much stuff and it’s super organized
Wow, haha, yeah you didn’t exactly pack light… 😀 But I saw the recap and the pics you posted earlier so if allllladis made you look the way you did then you had all right to take it with you 😀
Just like me and my daughter when packing for a holiday, well we need options right?!?!!!
I’ve just also shoehorned 3 more bottles of Dove shower cream into my already crammed full beauty products drawer as I can’t resist the creaminess!!
sounds like you have so much fun! pls share the makeup you finally wore to the event. i just checked your instagram and kinda hard to see what you’re wearing.
tooddles!
