Good morning, buddy! So, Mockingjay last night. El Hub and I went, and while some of the reviews out there haven’t been kind, I liked it…which I know is probably a HUGE surprise.
But seriously, some of the reviews are calling it the worst of the three movies, boring, just a real stinker, but I didn’t think so at all.
It definitely has a different feel than the other two films, yeah, but so did the third book. The filmmakers split the last book in half to squeeze out another movie, but that’s sort of par for the course these days with successful franchises.
It’s darker than the first two films, literally. Not as many long sequences outdoors in thick forests and jungles, but that’s because this one is a wartime story, and it looks the part. I can’t say that I enjoyed the movie quite as much as the other two, but I did like it, and I think it holds its own in the greater Hunger Games film canon.
I mean, you know…if you’re a fan of the Hunger Games, it’s not like you’re not gonna see this movie. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I’m so excited for Christmas – the malls will be packed and there’ll be so much Christmas spirit!
I don’t hang out with neighbors.
I want a really nice camera for Christmas so I can get my youtube channel started!! I have big dreams ahead of me (:
When deciding what neighbour to talk to scope em out first, you will always have a creepy or jerk neighbour.
Hi Karen, I am glad you enjoyed the movie although Hunger Games do not interest me at all, lol.
I think it’d be cool to have a brother! But I only have a sister.
I am slowly expanding my Christmas list, I actually made a Pintrest board http://www.pinterest.com/herandmakeup/christmas-wishlist/ You can check it out.
Happy Saturday! What are you doing today?
Hi Agata,
A Pinterest board Christmas list — that’s a great idea. You have some really good products on there too. I love that Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette.
It’s raining here today, so we’re probably going to focus on chores and housework, bluh. I need to vacuum and do necessary evils like that…
I hope you have something fun on your agenda today.
Husband said Mockingjay was getting horrible reviews, but we have to see it. We read all the books and saw the other two. Today is the perfect day for a matinee.
I think I want a Clarasonic or a nice coat for Christmas. My bday is the 23rd so I get separate presents for bday and Christmas. I asked hubby to take me to the MAC store in SF for my birthday. He said he would and I could spend $100 there! We’re also going to lunch in SF, there are a few restaurants that were on the Food Network The Best Thing I Ever Ate that we want to check out. Tyler Florence said the best seafood Cobb he ever ate is at Neiman Marcus and I’ve been wanting to try it.
The only thing I want for Christmas is for my daughters to be happy with their Christmas gifts. I so enjoy watching them open gifts!!
I want way too much for Christmas! What I’d really like is a nice diamond ring. Been with my boyfriend for, 11 years.
I have 2 awesome brothers and 7 amazing sisters 😀
For christmas i would like a lot of makeup to start my career as a makeup artist
I have never hung out with my neighbors.
I am AMAZING at fixing things around the house. (And I have no problem bragging about it.) A natural handy-woman. This spring I replaced our kitchen sink and re-fit the plumbing, then repaired our irrigation system and installed a pump. I also measured, fit, and installed a hard floor in our master walk-in closet this summer. The more work I do around the house myself, the less we are paying for a handyman. Girl power! And more monies for all the lipsticks! 😉
That’s so awesome, Alison! I WISH I were better at handy stuff. Truth be told, neither El Hub nor I are very handy around the house. El Hub tries, bless his heart, but it doesn’t always turn out according to plan.
This year I’m being way too practical and there really isn’t anything that I want for Christmas. Just want to be in my warm, cozy house with the hubby watching Christmas movies, etc.
I haven’t seen my brother or talked to him in 5 months, I miss him so much!
Last night for dinner we had lasagna and veggies. 🙂
For Christmas, I think I will treat myself to one of the Nars audacious lipsticks(in the color Anna or any other nude one). I’ve been dying to try them out.
I don’t remember what I had for dinner last night, because I’m sick enough I can’t taste anything, and what I do taste, tastes bad. 🙁
I have one older brother and one younger brother. My older brother is a drummer and younger brother is trying to follow in his footsteps!
For Christmas I want to spend the Christmas with my loved ones a tiny reunion the 4 of us, including the pups.
Yeah I am good fixing thing at home, I always was very independent and resourceful about that.
Last night we ate deli sandwiches, not feeling like cooking lately after taking care of 2 sick kids all week.
Hmmm when I try to log in with facebook it gives me an error… Guess I’ll try again tomorrow.
We had a nice fish fry dinner yesterday for dinner.. cod, waffle fries, coleslaw and rye bread.
Friday’s dinner are usually light….. yesterday: herbs omelette, grape juice and a ripe peach……. delicious!
Had Ippudo ramen last night! Yum! Planning to see Mockingjay for a Sunday night date night!
I’ve read the reviews that say Mockingjay Part 1 isn’t as good as the other movies. You know what? I don’t care. Going to see it anyway. We’re waiting until this coming weekend so that we can see it with the DD (Dear Daughter) while visiting her for T-Day. I didn’t think I could make it until she came home in December after finals.
Made an Afghan influenced lamb and pumpkin stew for dinner last night. Looks like the DH and I will be eating leftovers for the next few days.
I would like the Tom Ford quad in Titanium Smoke for Chistmas. I’ve never seen it in person but it looks amazing online!
I have to hang out with my next door neighbor, they are my in-laws.
I’m terrible at fixing things. Luckily I married a contractor! He can fix anything 🙂
Going to see Mockingjay tomorrow!
For Christmas I would like to get some Tom Ford cosmetics, Burberry Limited Edition cosmetics, and a new Tory Burch or Michael Kors handbag.
I have one older brother. He’s 6yrs. older than me. I’m actually adopted from S.Korea and was adopted into a Caucasian family. Although we’re siblings by adoption, he’s like a blood brother to me. Even though we’re in our 30’s sometimes we act like we’re still kids. We fight a lot, but at the same time get along great! We do like to do fun things together. Especially eating at new restaurants! We’re big food people!lol Even though he can get on my nerves, I love him and can’t imagine my life without him!
I WOULD never hang out with my neighbors. I really don’t appreciate them and their stupid OLD air-conditioner HAHA !! AH and I don’t like the way ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS are doing their renovation while and on my mid-session at the university damn !! 🙁
I can’t wait for Mockingjay! Seeing it tomorrow with a bunch of my friends 🙂
I want a GC to my favourite spa for massages, pedicures etc.
Rockstars!
I’d say I’m pretty good at fixing things around the house. Fishbone parquet in the livingroom is something I’m actually thinking of doing myself next year 😉 Just need to rent some good tools..
Anyone have any Thanksgiving traditions they want to share? I have family over & before we eat we go around the table & state what we are thankful for & we write down a reasonable wish & share weather or not the previous years wish came true!
I have a younger brother and he is wonderful – we’ve always got on well even since we were tiny and it’s always been a surprise to people!
i made homemade mac and cheese last night 🙂
I LOVE Homemade Mac & cheese!! Care to share your recipe?
Last night’s dinner was spaghetti.
I wouldn’t mind a Fitbit for Christmas. I need something to help motivate and keep me on track with my fitness goals 🙂
I have a Fitbit Flex1 Love it!
I have 6 brothers. They’re wonderful, loud and funny. Good at being generous. When I don’t hang out with them I forget how funny they are.
My neighbor is my bestest friend. All I do is hang out with my neighbor. Lol! I moved in here because of her. It’s a pretty sweet deal!!!
I had yummy chicken teriyaki with noodles for dinner last night
I’m hoping for Amazon gift cards this Christmas — I’m a grad student and books are expensive! 😉
I don’t hang out with my neighbors.
I would LOVE to get a gift card for clothes! I’ve been needing some very badly
I’m pretty good at fixing the kitchen sink at home when it gets clogged. I can do a few other things, but otherwise, I’m not overly handy.
Cowboys 😀
hoping to enjoy this weekend with a friend
I don’t have any brothers
Rockstars!
I want to win!
I’m really looking forward to Christmas this year. My brother will have just graduated from university, it’s my nephew’s first, my mom brother and I already have a Sunday picked to decorate the house and I’ve already made a big dent into my Christmas shopping. This Christmas is also a big deal for me because I’ll have lost around 60 pounds since the last Christmas! For Christmas, I just want the whole family to be together, no food drama, no relationship drama, just carefree and happy people all around!
For Christmas, I would like good food and friends !
cowboys
Last night, I had salmon with broccoli and mushrooms. Trying to rid the fridge of leftovers before the Thanksgiving feast!
I’m really looking forward to seeing my family for Christmas, as they live far away!
Cowboys… definitely cowboys. I live in the country so it’s kind of a given. ALTHOUGH… country singing cowboys is the best of both worlds, right?
Thanks for the giveaway! As far as hanging out with neighbors, nope! We had far too many neighbors who were obligated into our business in the last neighborhood, so we hide out in this one! Haha
I want a Keurig for Christmas!
Cowboys! They can rock it any way.
I want way too much for Christmas! After I saw your reviews, I picked up the Guerlain Night At The Opera Meteorites- I want to collect them all! I’m also obsessed with the Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette at Barneys and the Shupette Precious Glitter Set (I have the adorable palette).
Hello, I’m in the Upstate New York area and it is so cold here lately. Where are you located? Is it cold there too. We have just a slight cover of snow so far. I hear it is supposed to warm up. I hope so, at least for a little while. Anyway, thanks for the opportunity to win this. It would be great for going toward Christmas gifts this year. I have three wonderful grandchildren to buy for. Happy Holidays to you.
I am fortunate and have really great neighbors, they are some of my best friends. We hang out, celebrate special occasions together and help each other out with dog care. I am very lucky.
rockstars 😉
I do not hang out with my neighbors and I had Chicken Adobo for dinner last night
Hey Karen,
I have yet to see Mockingjay , but I am looking forward to it because I’m a Hunger Games fan for sure. From the previews I watched of the movie I liked the setting , because it was a totally different feel for the movie. It was nice to be taken out of the wooded areas and into different surroundings – I look forward to watching the movie.
For Christmas my list is pretty lengthy and most are makeup purchases: Ambient highlighter, LORAC Pro Palette, a few of the Sephora lip stains (especially 01) and a couple of other things. Also, I’d like a rose gold Coach boyfriend watch and a Coach purse.
Do you ever hang out with your neighbors?
— No ma’am I do not.
What would you like for Christmas?
— A new job. I’ve got an interview this coming Tuesday!
Are you good at fixing things around the house?
— Depends on what needs fixing.
Cowboys or rockstars?
— Cowboys who don’t mind a little rock’n’roll!
Do you have any brothers? What are they like?
— I have one little brother, and he is my life. He’s 16, almost 17, and he is a complete character. We are 8 years apart, but I still call him when I need someone to cheer me up.
What did you have for dinner last night?
— Sadly, nothing 🙁
I love Christmas time! My favourite part of it is making family and friends happy with a thoughtfull gift.
What I want for Christmas this year is a toss up between Naked3 and TooFaced’s Chocolate Bar.
I’ve yet to see Mockingjay, can’t wait though!
Last night me and my friends joined for an indian cooking evening, dispite all the mess in the kitchen, it was delicious!
I would like a new karaoke machine or weekend trip to a ski lodge. I don’t ski. I just want to snuggle by a fire place drinking hot toddys.
Eating a filet o’fish in my room while watching Pollock is a great way to relax on a Saturday afternoon!
I have 3 brothers (no sisters!) – 2 older & 1 younger. They tortured me growing up! I was (& still am) jealous of everyone that has a sister…
We had sushi for dinner last night.
It’s tough, but I think I have to go with cowboys on that one.
I want makeup for Christmas!
I have an older Sister and she’s a royal pain in the rear 😀 but hey, there’s nothing stranger than family so “they” say. lol
One (older) brother. Hilarious, like Bill Murray.
Never hang with the neighbors.
Would love some gift cards for Christmas, and/or some Josie Maran argan oil products!
i wanna try stila’s magnificent foil eyeshadows soo badly! but i just can’t seem to justify spending that much on one eye shadow -_-
I don’t hang out with my neighbors…
Thanks for the Mockingjay review, will probably wait until it comes out on DVD just because don’t have the funds to go to the movies. What I would like for Christmas is to see happiness on my kids faces as they enjoy the day.
Definitely cowboys!!Yay for bros! I have two brothers, one is little and cute and loves pumpkins and the other is serious (but still cute!) and is on a sports team.
Love my neighbors we hang out all the time. 🙂
I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving 🙂
I’d like a new JOB for Xmas!! Well that and those new Hello Kitty Beats headphones, LOL!
I have one brother and two sisters. He’s the youngest. After living in Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore for many years he and his wife and twin daughters finally moved back to the US. Yay!! Now everyone in my family is in the same time zone!!
I do not hang out with my neighbors.
For Christmas I would like to get some Charlotte Tilbury cosmetics, or Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette.
I have one brother, and he 5 years younger than me.
For Christmas I would like another cat. I only have two so one more cat wouldn’t put me over the crazy line would it? Three is totally acceptable. Four is borderline. 🙂
Books & makeup, of course! 🙂
yes,I hang out with neighbors.
I’m great at fixing things!
Rockstars!
Last night I had a In n Out Cheeseburger protein and animal style. I know it isn’t healthy but I haven’t eaten at In n Out for a while.
Unfortunately i am not friends with my neighbors. The 1 directly next to us always has people moving in &out but we did know the ones 4renters .i wish i lived in a neighborhood that everyone knew eachother.theres one om the otherside of town that does yard sales&christmas themes
I had Filipino food last night! It’s been a while, I was in heaven! 😀
This Christmas, I would like to have the love of my life by my side.
I’m so not good at fixing things around the house! My girlfriend does all of that. She is the best at that kind of stuff. Don’t know what Id do without her!
This year I picked out my own gifts, the tarte Bon Voyage Set and the Smashbox On The Rocks Luxe Palette.
Want want for christmas is for everyone i love to be haappy and healthy, and near. Also, i want a too faced holiday eyeshadow palette. Happy holidays!
I have two cats and I get lipstick on them frequently. I also don’t hang out with my neighbors. ;p
I would love to get some Nars Audacious Lipsicks for Christmas but I don’t think its going to happen. Most people in my family know little to nothing about makeup and my friends don’t either.
I didn’t think the Hunger Games movie was that bad. It wasn’t good, but it wasn’t *that* bad. My boyfriend hated it though.
I hang out with my neighbor, they are very nice people. I wish for Christmas is my father to get healthy.
I did have a brother but he passed away in January 2009. He was the biggest pain in the ass you would have ever known and I miss every single day.
I’m making my list, checking it twice, and desperately hoping to score some sweet deals this Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday!
I’m ready to start putting up my Christmas decorations now!! But I’m forcing myself to wait til Dec. 1st :-/ Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I would looooove a Sephora gift card for Christmas! It’s the first thing on my list hahaha!
I’m on a business trip, so I had fried clams for dinner last night! As someone who currently lives in a landlocked state, I was so excited to have seafood.
Rockstars all the way!
For dinner last night we went to Equinox in DC. I had crumbed, fried oysters; white truffle pasta; and carrot cake. Yum!
For Christmas, I am getting more into running, so I would love one of those GPS/heart rate watches to replace my cheapo non-GPS version!
We had ham, mashed potatoes, corn, croissants, and apple pie with cool whip for dinner last night. It was yummy!
YAY!
My neighbors play in a band and have everyone over for a bbq and to hear the band every summer
My brother is a junior in college – he’s shy but a really nice guy. I still see him as 8, though!
Last night we ate the Thai crunch salad & Korean pizza from California Pizza Kitchen, delicious!! The Thai crunch salad is my favorite…love it!
My husband actually enjoyed this movie more than the other 2. There was a lot of action in this one for him. I thought it was pretty good.
Almost everything on my Christmas list is beauty related. and the terrible thing is I keep buying stuff off of my list! LOL
I haven’t been to a movie theater in over a year to see a film. There hasn’t been one I wanted to see. I just wait to check out from the library at no charge.
Such a beautiful fall day here in sunny So Cal. Love these days.
I would love to have a family picture for the holidays.
Just returned from an amazing evening at the Marine Ball and I want to give a about out to all our men and women who serve now or in the past. Thanks so much for all your dedication and courage!!
I have a younger brother who’s 16 and he’s great. I haven’t seen him in a while since I’m away at school but am looking forward to seeing him for Thanksgiving.
I ordered in Thai food last night! I definitely believe that ordering in food on Friday nights is underrated, especially in winter 🙂
Yes, we do hang out with our neighbours and always have a good time! I don’t have a brother but wish I did. I can’t wait to swatch some of the Hourglass lipsticks now that I’ve seen your post, they may go on my wishlist.
I have a “little” brother, but I actually call him my big little brother, because “little” really isn’t an apt description of the monstrous reality. He plays college football, and greatly resembles a large boulder nowadays. But now that we aren’t caged under the same roof I actually love him a lot and think he’s a pretty funny, cool guy. I love hanging out with him now, but one night in the same house and the mutual animosity is back on, full intensity 😛
I would love a bottle of Chanel #19 for Christmas this year. It’s my all-time favorite fragrance. I had a delicious chicken cheese steak for dinner. It was yummy!! Thanks for having this giveaway Karen!!
I want a Garmin GPS Running watch for Christmas!
coriwestphal at msn dot com
This gift card would be great for Christmas shopping!
I’d love a pair of Frye boots for Christmas:) Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve actually never met any of my neighbors.
Rockstars, definitely!
A few new Tom Ford lipsticks would be fun.
A new Tom Ford lipstick would be great fun.
I have a brother! He’s my “little” brother but about 8″ taller than I am. And he’s a cop so he looks all tough and stuff and everyone always thinks he’s my older brother, which irritates me SO MUCH. Ha.
I have two awesome older brothers 🙂
I have no brothers.
I love reaching out to people in my area—even just saying hello and waving as you drive by…keeping an eye on elderly folks in case they need anything etc….
I never thought I’d say this, but… I want an iPhone 6 Plus!
cats or dogs
Hi, Karen!
I have 2 answers! I have 2 brothers, one is older and the other is younger (yup, I’m in the middle and the only girl). We have always been very close and since my Dad passed, we have gotten even closer. My older brother is in the Airforce, deployed and away right now and my younger brother packed up his things and moved to California to pursue an acting career. We’re from Maryland. I miss them dearly! We have beaucoup inside jokes and silly ways that we’ve carried into our adulthood. What I want for Christmas is for them to be able to come home. I know my Mom misses them too. We rarely all get to be together. The last time was for my wedding earlier this year, but sometimes we can go 2-3 years without all being together. That’s what I want for Christmas most. Well…that, a new wine cabinet, a puppy and of course, MAKE UP lol! Sorry for being long winded. I hope your holidays are wonderful and filled with family and lots of love 🙂
I have two brothers. They’re geniuses. One is a Nuclear Engineer & bone writes music.
No brothers, but two sisters!
I don’t have any brothers. I do have two older sisters though!
I have two brothers! One is 12 and crazy, and the other is turning 23 in a few days and is one of my role models 🙂
I’m not overly close with my neighbors, but I do chat with them at the mailbox or if we run into each other in the hallway.
I’m so ready for Thanksgiving, can’t wait to get stuffed lol
Although G and I get along pretty well with all our neighbors (at least the ones we know), we’ve never hung out with them. Some are close to our age, so we should probably change that.
Just want my family together for Christmas!
I’d like a laptop for Xmas.
I’m so pumped for all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales!
I have no idea what I want for Christmas. I’m usually into more sentimental gifts..but I wouldn’t mind some items from Sephora either 😛
I do hang out with my neighbors. They’re awesome! 🙂
Tonight I made Thai pumpkin red curry soup! Quick and easy
I had tacos last night and they were gr8
Had the same leftover soup that I’ve been having for a week =P
i had dinner last night at Town Kaimuki,a restaurant just a few blocks away from El Hub’s old school. Town’s chef, Ed Kenney, is who I call the godfather of Hawaiian Regional Cuisine, 2.0. The next time you two come back to Honolulu, you should go there for a meal! Maybe Jaynie (@yeobocakes) and I can meet up with you!
• Do you ever hang out with your neighbors? They’re mostly elderly. Rip roaring good time! I need some local friends. 🙁
• What would you like for Christmas? Vice 3! And an air fryer.
• Are you good at fixing things around the house? Nope!
• Cowboys or rockstars? Rockstars, definitely. Not that I think they’d be loyal… but cowboys….I wouldn’t know what to talk about.
• Do you have any brothers? What are they like? I have a half-brother. I don’t know him very well.
• What did you have for dinner last night? Pizza!
I haven´t even gotten around to watching the second part of Hunger Games. Need to fix this asap.
Have a nice weekend.
I am loving this look. So much so I’m placing an order for the Viva Glam 2 Lipstick and Lipglass!! I already have the Too Faced Sugar and Spice palette (one of my favorites released this holiday) so I REALLY can’t wait to have everything I need to duplicate your gorgeous look!! I greatly appreciate that you detailed the entire look below the picture so I know exactly what you have on – such a great idea!! I wish more people did that. I signed up for your newsletter, although it might be a bad idea because ever time I come on your page I end up ordering makeup RIGHT after!! I just ordered the Mac PG collection eyeshadow duo in Cinder and the Light English Red lipstick because of how stunning you looked with that look too (and for the packaging of course, HELLO
I had lasagna last night for dinner.
I’m pretty good at fixing things around the house.
Rockstars!
By now I’m practically convinced that I could build a house by myself. I’ve inherited the craftiness of my mum and the handyman-ness of my father and with all the questions you might need to ask being answered on the internet – easy as one two!!
I would like a little stove top Italian espresso maker for Christmas. 🙂 (And probably some coffee beans to go with it)
PIZZA! 🙂
Had a burrito last night; de-licious.
Nope, I never hang with the neighbors. We’re lucky if we say hi to each other 😛 People are a bit distant to each other here.
For dinner last night I has spaghetti and garlic bread.
For Christmas, I am looking for Sephora or Ulta gift cards, that is usually what my family does and it always makes the after-Christmas sales wonderful!
I’m going to upgrade my diamond earrings for Christmas! 🙂
My brother is half my age and loves anything war-related. He’s a sweet kid though.
Oh dinner. Spinach rotini, chunks of pan seared chicken, broccoli florets.. Tossed in homemade Italian dressing and sharp cheddar cheese. Omnomnom.
Rockstar cowboys … Yummmm!!!
Dinner last night. Salmon sashimi, tuna tataki, and various sushi. Mmmm.
Rouge Bunny Rouge is on Haute Look this weekend and I must admit, I went a little overboard. D’oh!
We don’t “hang out” with our neighbors, but we’re friendly with them. Once they learned we weren’t retirees like them, they stopped mowing their lawn at 7am on holiday weekends since they know we work and it’s our only chance to sleep in. 😉
All I really want for Christmas is to be able not to gain that much weight, gifts are okay but I just don’t want to gain 10-15lbs of Holiday Food & Stress.
I want that Glam Glow gift set so bad!
All I want for Christmas is buxom lip glosses. I’m obsessed right now!
I want so much make-up for christmas…but that is every christmas and I never buy anything
My favorite thing to do around the holidays is go ice-skating!
I’m searching all the food blogs for the best thanksgiving sides! I’m cooking for the holiday for the first time! I’m also being distracted by the YSL sale. What to get!?
Cowboys all the way!!
Cowboys. 🙂
Brrrr, it’s cold.
I saw Mockingjay last night, too! And while I didn’t love it, I did like it and enjoy it.
For Christmas, I think I’m going to treat myself to some nice makeup!
I can’t believe I’ve been so out of it that I missed the Mockingjay Part 1 premiere. Glad to hear you liked it!
Just discovered your blog! It’s so great, this giveaway is a great little gift right before the holidays, my one thing that I would love to get is the new iPad mini gold it’s a great gift !
I have no siblings. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a sister, but never a brother.
Our neighbor is the principal of my daughter’s elementary school. We don’t hang out but I do see her at school all the time!
We actually do hang out with our neighbors. They have a teenager and an eleven year old and we’ve gone over for dinner, hung out in their pool, went over to play legos, and take their daughters homecoming pictures 🙂
i’m stumped on what i want for christmas! planning to try to make a list tonight to help out family members who have asked me.
I went to Chili’s lastnight for dinner! I had a Chicken Alfredo Pasta, which was very yummy!
What do I want for Christmas? Well, it would be great to win a ton of money. Ha ha! 🙂 but it would be super nice if two people close to me who are sick could get well. That would be awesome. what’s something that can be bought? Hmmm… I love paper and pens and makeup and good books. Have a great day!
I had pizza for dinner last night and it was great! 🙂
I would love to get all of the Charlotte Tilbury products for Christmas!
I want anything makeup related for Christmas. Unfortunately, everybody around me thinks I have too much so I know they will not enable my addiction…
I am fantastic at fixing stuff around the house! And I’m all over DIY or painting the walls!
Pizza
I had an espresso frapuccino for dinner last night. please, don’t judge. I’ve had a virus for three weeks and haven’t been able to eat much.
I barely know my neighbors. One insists on throwing an open house every Christmas Eve, which is an odd mix of his blended family and neighbors. I know it’s nice of him but its always awkward because none of us having anything in common except the neighborhood. I never want to go but my husband, who is Mr. Social, always insists we at least go have a drink. Sigh.
Thanks for the giveaway! I need to stock up on some new Clarisonic brush heads, so the $50 would be awesome! 🙂
I have two younger brothers and a younger sister.
I saw Mockingjay last night and I really liked it. I agree that it has a different feel than the other two, but I can’t wait for the last one next year.
For Christmas I’d like a new Kindle and a Sephora gift card, because I love my family but they never pick the right makeup.
For Xmas I want new brown boots.
Cowboys or rock stars? Definitely, cowboys!
Actually, a cowboy in new brown boots would work as an Xmas gift, too! 😉
I would love to win this $50 gift card from Sephora for Christmas! :))))
Hey Karen….for Christmas I probably want a couple items of clothing and some of the makeup on my wishlist 🙂
Would love to watch mockingjay! I’m waiting for the bring your baby cinema event this friday but I’m guessing I won’t be able to concentrate on the movie with two kids in tow.
I know one of my neighbors but have never hung out with them.
I can’t wait to go and see Mocking Jay! I feel like I have too go since I’ve read the books religiously and have seen the first two movies close to a thousand times haha
I have one brother, three years younger than me. He is one of the funniest people I know. One year I bought him the Edward Gorey Gashlycrumb tinies alphabet book for Christmas. We spent most of that day going through the book pointing out goofy things, and laughing like maniacs. It’s one of my favorite Christmas memories!
I want to win 1! I just bought a bunch of sample size items from Sephora and I would love to buy the full size w/ this GC!
rockstars!!! My brother is the opposite of me, 6’2 black hair and blue eyes and a chic nerd. Hehe. I am 5’4 brown hair green eyes and just plain chic. 😉
2 brothers: 16 and 19. Still childish XD
I’m not the best at fixing things around the house, but I do try to figure out how to solve the problem. I did fix the dryer after watching a youtube video for instructions 🙂
I recently tried a cleansing oil, and it took off all my makeup! Even the waterproof mascara. Maybe I should listen to the hype some more.
I love your blog so much! I totally gave in and purchased some of the MAC heirloom pressed shadows before they became sold out because I saw them on your blog and had to have them!
Also Rockstars > Cowboys!
Rockstars!
Can’t wait to see Mockingjay! Loved the books and first 2 movies.
Benedict Cumberbatch or Lee Pace?
Happy early Thanksgiving!
I love makeup and dogs!
My neighbor is my hairdresser!
For Christmas I would love to try the Urban Decay Vice3 palette! I don’t own that many colorful shadows, so I figured this palette would be a good place to start 🙂
OMG, most def Rockstars!! I was suppose to marry Jon Bon Jovi back in the day BUT things just didn’t work out that way! Sigh!!
I have everything I need for Christmas. I do plan on providing plenty of gifts for the toy drive
I was curious how the movie would be received since the book was so different and I think left a fair amount of people rather disappointed. I an looking forward to seeing it, though probably won’t get the chance until it’s at Redbox. 🙂
I used to be good at fixing things around the house, but now my son jumps in and takes over — I don’t stand a chance anymore!
For Xmas I’m going to be asking for either a Sephora giftcard or Ulta gift card! 😉
I don’t have any brothers. I used to really want one, but I guess that ship has sailed.
Occasionally I see my neighbors at the dog park, but we don’t hang out much beyond that.
mmmm… sephorrrraaaaaa
For Christmas, I’ve been wanting the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer for ages now. Hopefully I get it! I had a sample of it once, and it made me dislike every other primer I’ve ever had haha!
For Christmas I would love to travel somewhere I’ve never been 🙂
Dying to see the Hunger Games!
I’m glad you liked it! I haven’t seen too many reviews but the few I did were positive. Of course, that was before the movie officially opened to the public. 🙂
Cowboys! I’m a sucker for boots and jeans.
Rockstars FTW!!
Hi, Karen!
well, i don’t have any brothers. only one older sister. I always wanted a brother, but it just never happened. 🙁
but i have many brother in laws, so i guess i finally got what i wanted 🙂 hope the weekend treated you well!
Last night I had spaghetti and beets and corn on the cob! Thanks for the extra spending money in advance 😉
I would say Rockstars!
I have two younger brothers who have been bigger than me since middle school. It’s always been a interesting dynamic, the one who is two years younger has acted like an older brother in many ways (like scaring away guys in high school!). And growing up with two siblings meant we were constantly changing alliances. 🙂
I don’t talk to my neighbors. We live in apartments and I think thats the point… so you dont have to be friendly with the rando next door with the whiny dog/baby. haha.
I’m overwhelmed by the Black Friday ads. I live in Canada and it’s not shopping season in my head yet.
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the giveaway!
Last night for dinner, I made baked macaroni and cheese and had it along with french bread and garlic green beans.
I really want a pair of Hunter Boots for Christmas!
We live in a small court with only four other neighbors and surprisingly they’re all nice. I go walking with one of my neighbors every morning.
I’d like a camera 🙂
We all want new makeup for Christmas don’t we!? I know I do.
For Christmas I would like some yummy new pajamas, a new Kate Spade bag and a new pair of running shoes!
Hmm, what do I want for christmas? This year I’ve been so focused on everyone else that I hadn’t given it much thought but the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would be a good start.
I have a younger brother and we grew up fighting a lot with each other. But we always have each other’s back! Blood is thicker than water after all 🙂
I can’t believe the year is almost over! But I love the holidays!
Christmas is the one time all of our family on both sides get together to spend quality time so I’m looking forward to that for sure.
Cowboys. But no Country music 🙂
I have six brothers they are pretty great.
My husband and I made Banh Bao (steamed pork buns) for dinner last night, they were so good!!!
Had B-Dubs for dinner last night!
I had a pretty good shrimp egg foo yung and yes I always eat my fortune cookie.
I hope I left a comment in the right picture, Instagram wouldn’t recognize the link ;(
