Good morning, young lady. How did you sleep?
If you’d spent the night here at Château MBB, you would have been up late listening to Tabs and his greaser buddies hooting and hollering all night long. They hang out in the garage every Friday night playing records and talking about chicks, cars and pomade…all of them in their black leather jackets and pegged jeans. My word! 🙂
Come in. Have a seat. Can I get you a cup of coffee or tea? Breakfast will be ready soon, but while we wait, it’s…

Seriously! I’m SO in. Karen rocks!!
Casablanca is, naturally, my FAVORITE black and white movie. Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the lead, but I can’t help thinking Tabs might give him a run for his money 😉
I also tweeted about your giveaway!
Thank you!
♥ Jessica
I just came back from swimming to see this! Woohoo!
😀 am eyeing a couple of makeup items. want them all ~
I am sitting here, drinking tea, and planning all the errands I must do today. I better pick up my boots from the cobbler, for one!
clothes wise, my decade is 2020 (most def futuristic ;))
as for makeup, matte natural eyeshadow with cat liner
and dare i say teased voluminous hair that isn’t quite reminescient of the 80’s but it is teased haha
Thanks for doing a piece on Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polish…I’ve been seeing their products pop up on beauty blogs, but yours was the most in depth and made me really curious about trying some of their shades!
I was born in the 80’s. 🙂 My favorite movie of all time is Gone with the Wind!
have a good weekend lookin like good weather!
Been up since 7am cause i had to drop my mom to work and then go to the bank. UGH
I really love Sephora. That’s all! <3

What a great give-away! Love your blog!
Mt sister loves my Urban Decay NAKED palette so much she just bought one of her own!
Hmm born in the late 70’s and I have to admit at 31 I am a little late to the makeup party. I love your blog, your reviews and Tabs, it makes navigating the scary world of makeup a little easier. Thanks Karen!
I have two part-time jobs now! 🙂 yay
Peaches 🙂

I was born in the late 60’s. I still love makeup such as concealer, blush, and eyeliner!
Happy Saturday! Today’s agenda is cleaning the house – but first I have to motivate myself to get off the couch. 🙂
I just love the retro red lipstick look. In my grandmother’s day, a lady wasn’t “done up” without her lipstick! We’re lucky to have so many color choices now, but you know that an early-mid century vintage outfit just isn’t complete without the cherry red lips.
I also love cat eyes! but i dont like matte lips haha
I love my hair!
Love your blog – found you on twitter! I am going to be 40 this year so a Sehora gift card would be used for some new wrinkle cream!
I have to say my favorite makeup looks are heavy on the eyes and nude lips. My makeup idol was Joan Jett! And if you guessed I was born in the 60’s you would be correct!
Did I mention I gave up buying makeup for Lent?
I can’t wait for summer so I can go to the beach 🙂
Would love to win this! I don’t even have Sephora around! Haha!
Listening to Doug Loves Movies- Doug Benson is very funny 🙂
Why am I up this early on a Saturday?
I’m making a documentary for my English Comp class. So far, it’s been kind of fun. <3
I’m terrible at dancing! lol
I was born in the 80s. Thanks for the giveaway:)
Really loving the spring weather 😀
not my favorites by any means (really, how can you choose one?), but the last black and white films that really grabbed me were Brief Encounter, the Bicycle Thief and Rome Open City. Mostly the first two…i’d also recommend Mamma Roma 🙂
I’m born in the mid-90s, so not retro at all, haha. But I’m absolutely in love with the crisp cat eye look with a bright matte red lip.
Sephora!!! <3
Just watched an elephant give birth while enjoying my morning coffee!
I love watching I Love Lucy Re-runs! Lucille Ball was gorgeous!
To zumba or not to zumba? That is the question……

OOOOOO pick me!!! I need it to fund my bottle of Laura Mercier Tinted moisturizer!
I love Sephora — and your blog!
My favourite black and white film? That is an easy one – Charlie Chaplin in all his wonderful ways depicting the love-lusting tramp in The Circus. The film is full of joy, laughter, quirkiness and tragically beautiful moments that Chaplin films were well known for. ^__^
i love your blog so much! everyday it starts to grow on me more! you make beauty products interesting!

Going to my BFF’s baby shower today. So excited!
I’m really lemming MUFE aqua creams right now, so this would be the perfect excuse to get my hands on a couple!
Ooh thanks for the contest – I had an unexpected retro moment this week when I got a letter from an online retailer thanking me for being a customer for FIFTEEN YEARS. I’ve been shopping online for FIFTEEN FREAKING YEARS?!? Oh lordy.
My next Sephora purchase is going to be the Clarisonic.
Thanx for the amazing giveaway! Plz enter me XD
I’m reading this in bed, where I’ve been hunkered down for days and days, sick. 🙁

I so love sephora!
Happy Saturday, girlie!
Kind of sad cause my kitty is not feeling so well. 🙁 Doctor says to bring him in immediately because things aren’t looking so good. :'(
i have a full day of burlesque dancing today!
Born in the 70s, a true child of the 80s! My next Sephora purchase will probably be a Sephora brand makeup palette for my niece who turns 5 next month–she’s already a beauty junkie 🙂
Happy Weekend everyone!
Love Sephora 🙂
Revisiting my love for Joseph Gordon Levitt as I prepare to watch 500 Days of Summer!
I have totally been swing dancing it must have been in the late 90’s after Swingers came out, Ha ha now that I think about it. But even before then I used to listen to a local NPR channel with my mom on Saturday nights that had a program called The Swing Years Beyond and it was kind of fun and very retro.
happy saturday!
I am a Substance Abuse Counselor Intern and makeup is my way of avoiding burnout! After a 9 hour day of group, clients, and assessments, I come home home to surf the makeup blogs and relax!
Hi! I’m finally gonna get my MAC Wonder Woman lipstick tomorrow!! So excited!
I was born in the 80’s!!

I was born in the 80s and I’m glad because I didn’t miss out on early 90s rock music!

Would love gift card for upcoming trip to NYC. Thnx Karen!!!
I use to think red nail polishes made my hands look old, but now im starting to love it!! It’s so sexy and classy at the same time!
I have this strange fascination with tv dinner corn. What a beautiful rainy saturday. 😉
The closest Sephora is over an hour away from where I live… but it’s also where my boyfriend is, so I make him go with me when I go to shop. I think he secretly enjoys it.
About to shoot some arrows!
The weekly giveaway is awesome, but I kind of miss Saturday Surfing. I’m sure it’s a lot of work, just sayin’. 🙂
My local Spehora just started carrying bumble and bumble hair products. Help a curly sista out lol
I love Spring!
Hmmmm what to buy with a $50 ecard??? So many choices!!! But I would definitely enjoy trying to figure it out!!!
I’m spending the day watching the ncaa tournament.
the weather is beautiful outside but here I am working away on 2 20-page papers and another 2 10 page papers. =(
I can’t wait till this is all done to play with teal and other bright eyeshadows!
My husband and I are going to see Paul. I’m hoping to talk him into stopping at Sephora before or after since I still can’t drive.
I hope I win. I love Sephora.
It’s raining like crazy in the EastBay right now!! I miss sunshine 🙁
I was born in the 60s…I’m practically an antique! =]
I wish I could say I was born in the 40’s! Where men were always well dressed minus the skinny jeans. & Finger waves and a bright red lip was the classic go to party essential. CVS has been my current sephora due to all my crazyyy student loans. It’ll be nice to get a treat lol(:
My favorite black & white movie is Young Frankenstein. I do like actually old b&w movies, but this movie makes me laugh so hard… I <3 it. I own it on DVD, but it's in storage somewhere. 🙁
I also RTd about your great giveaway. Thanks for having it.

Happy Saturday! My little man is going to visit his grandparents for a sleepover, so I’ve got a day of relaxation ahead of me. I can’t wait to just sit around and do NOTHING! Bliss 🙂
My husky is only a year, but she seems to have stopped growing. The vet said she may not have grown as much as others because she was sick so often when we got her… 🙁
I adore the black and white movie Harvey. I also love Arsenic and Old Lace =0)
First day of spring break and I’m going to SF on Monday…hopefully this bad weather will pass in time for my trip!!
My favorite vintage look is fire-engine red lips paired with a cat’s eye variant for the eyes (little more subtle on the darkness of the wing, a lot more lash).
I’m taking care of my sick daughter….
I took swing dancing lessons when I was about 15. I wish I remembered more of the steps now- it was so much fun!
just came back for a run and me and my puppy are exhausted!loving the warm weather!!hope every1 is enjoying their weekend!
It’s raining in Paris …
Just rolled out of bed literally minutes ago, and here I am! Perhaps I’m too obsessed with makeup? lol 🙂
I love Shiba Inu’s! 😀
Grace Kelly embodies my favorite retro style
My favorite black and white movie would have to be “A Streetcar Named Desire”. Vivien Leigh and Brando are my favorite vintage actors!
its raining in socal!
I don’t want spring break to end!
You’d think that the cat we rescued that was born outdoor would understand the rain, but nooooo. When i take him out walking when it rains (only when he really begs!) he looks very injured and acts like he want me to turn the rain off. “Sorry, guy, we don’t control the outside!”
Ooo, I’d love to win this so I can get that Botan Rice Candy-ish lip gloss! 🙂
A car alarm has been going off for the past half an hour outside my window!
Its SXSW here in Austin. Its been going on for the past week or so and it has made me not want to leave my house at all. Getting anywhere is a fight against major traffic and, frankly, I don’t need to go anywhere that badly!
I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
I was born in the 90’s! I have so many favourite black and white movies, but one that comes to mind right now is called “The Mating of Millie”. I remember watching it one night on the TCM channel, and I thought it was hilarious! It’s a romantic comedy that would make a great remake…actually, I’m pretty sure there are some modern day versions out already! This comment makes me want to watch it again, thanks Karen for the reminder! 🙂
I’d love a little present! I’m having a bad week 🙁
It’s a beautiful day here!
I can smell spring!!
My absolute favorite black and white movie is The Third Man. The cinematography is amazing.
Yay, I’m a Sephora addict! I own and try a lot of products, which also means I return/exchange like 20-30% of the things I buy. I wonder if the Sephora girls think I’m ripping them off, lol.
i was born mid-80s!
Karen! I just got my wisdom teeth removed.. I NEED this. :):)
Glory Glory Man United!!
Oh, I spend too much money at Sephora! But I won’t stop, I love the pretties.:)
I wish I could walk my cat on a harness. He would probably freak out though!
I was born in the 90s 😀
I wish I had some kind of homemade fruit pie right about now. Good flaky crust and sweet fruity goo would hit the spot.
All about Eve is by far my favorite black and white movie. Love your blog!
this would be amaaazing!!
Awesome blog!!
It’s not officially Spring here in Michigan yet but seeing my flowers popping through the ground makes me so excited for the season to come. Today all I can hear is “all things are made new again”, how true is that?
My fav retro music is the 60s look, like edie sedgwick or twiggy. I like the lower lashes being accentuated
happy saturday!
i get bored studying that much,a prize would make me happier 🙂
I was born in the 80’s 🙂
Breakfast at Tiffany’s! 🙂
Today is a gorgeous day where I am!
With just thinking Black&White, “Dance with me” by Nouvelle Vague comes straight into my mind. and check this one – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekQZPozjCX8. awesome!
Because of your recommendation a few posts back, I went to Trader Joe’s and bought two boxes of the Pita Bite Crackers. They are like crack, seriously. I can’t stop eating them…
I LOVE TABS!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :0
I hate this rainy weather! I’m ready for the sun!
I don’t really have anything to say today…. so thanks for the wonderful giveaways!
I tweeted: @beanagirl01
Thanks again!
Just got my first ever 217 brush. 224 has been officially repurposed for concealer; if anyone is still using the 224 for blending, you’ve got to try a 217. It’s amazing.
Hurray for giveaways!!
I love the cat eye and red lip too. Too bad it doesn’t work for me. It makes my eyes look too small.
I went clubbing today!!! Awesome!!
I wish I could swing dance! A good friend of mine kept trying to teach me, but I don’t think even he could remedy my two left feet 🙁
Well i could really use that card lol
I graduated from my Japanese class today, yeay ^o^

I am so excited because I am going to Italy tomorrow to see my family!!
My favorite black and white movie is To Kill a Mockingbird with Fritz Lang’s M a close second!

Just heard a friend died by drowning . It is so sad .
Would love a Sephora giftcard for some new spring make-up!!
Even though I’m a cat person, I just got a new puppy yesterday! 1/2 Great Pyrenees, 1/2 St. Bernard…he’s aptly named Goliath 🙂
Enjoying my Saturday afternoon with my honey, laying in bed while planning our evening 😉 doesn’t get any better than this! Well it would if I win! Ha xoxo
I’d love to try the new bite products with the sephora gc! 😉
Hope you are having an amazing weekend.
My favorite black and white movie would be anything with Cary Grant in it!
There’s a Harry Potter marathon on today!!!
Even though its Spring, here in WI it’s still a little chilly and my skin is still Winter-ish! The absolute BEST body lotion I have found to sooth and super hydrate is ALAFFFIA Shea & Red Palm Nurturing Body Lotion. Mango Citrus scent is light, fresh and subtly fruity. Love it!!!
Can you do a post about your favorite foundations? I’m on a foundation binge lately, trying to find one for summer!
Love a Smokey Eye for everyday!!! with nude or pink lip and 70’s baby wish i couldve enjoyed more of that era instead of being born right before the 80’s seem like times were more fun then
currently reading the hunger games. o_0
Whoo hoo! I could use this!
My comment for entry is that everybody should go out and try E.L.F.’s $3 copper sparkle gel eyeliner. It’s a dupe for Tarte’s Amazonian clay liner in Bronze that’s currently off the shelves for reformulating! I’m so excited to have found it! Fantastic for green-eyed gals.
Would love to see a cat-eye tutorial.
It’s finally spring up here in Montreal and I’m going to see Rango tonight! 🙂
I would rather b shopping than stuck in a all weekend long training …. I need a treat for being a good girl and not having a day off : )
Thank you for this giveaway!!!
My make up i like very much it s marylin look, un fortunately it doesn t suit me.
hugs from uk
I was born in the 80s
I love the “cat eyes and red lipstick” look, but I cannot manage to learn the cat eye technique 🙁
I plan on visiting Sephora today to pick up a blush…
I’m a 90’s kid.
I love the cat eyes and nude lips combination! So sexy!
I went to MAC and bought NOTHING today. *gasp*
I’m craving Apple Pie.
PICK ME T-MONEY!
*bows*
I was JUST looking at the orange lipsticks at sephora.com to wear for my fav season SPRING!
“It’s a Wonderful Life” is definitely one of my fave black-and-white movies.
Sephora is like a candy store full of yummy goodies for makeup lovers!
I lost my 30 dollar Sephora giftcard, so this could help me get the pallette I wanted! 🙂
I would use this to buy coverfx!
Roman Holiday 🙂
Not sure if it’s considered retro or not, but I can’t stop winging out my eyeliner. I first tried it a few months ago and loved the extra ‘width’ it gave to my eyes. Now I wing it out no matter the look…day, night, neutral, dramatic, etc. I’m sure I’m probably breaking some cardinal makeup rule…but I like the way it looks.
Thanks for another great giveaway!!!
Also tweeted…@turtlegirl922.
I, too, love the cat eye + matte lip 🙂
I was born in the late 80s
I just watched The Fall and if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it!! What a great film.
I’m in desperate need of new Spring polishes…would love a sephora giftcard to help me get there!
Hope to get this – so I can buy my mom a 2nd present for her BD
I like to do retro makeup for fun every once in awhile with winged liner, bright lips, and a lot of contouring. If I do it too severely, I look like I had a face lift O.o It is alarming but fun to see how a little shading can change everything so drastically.
It’s so ridiculously hot outside, omg =_=
I finally bought the clarisonic and I love it, you gave such an awesome review on it that I wanted to get and I did. I love your blog. What I want to buy is an awesome eye cream now? Do yoy recommend any for dark circles and puffiness?
I like Saturdays because sometimes I can sleep in real late. And I enjoy it.
It’s a beautiful day, I just came in from enjoying the fresh air and doing a little reading. Now I’m catching up on MBB!
The classic of classics, 8 1/2, has got to be the best black and white movie of all time. The glamour! The existential crises! The pouty lips of Claudia Cardinale! It’s a must-see if you haven’t already, Karen!
oooh i wanna win!
Ooh I’d love to win! My birthday was yesterday, March 18th, and I didn’t end up buying anything good because I was feeling sick. So I’d love to splurge and put this gift card toward a lil late B-day spree! Thanks girl 🙂
i have never been swing dancing but i would love to learn:)
Yes retro bright pink lips
Winged eyeliner
Ohhh yes!
I’m sick of winter! As I type, it’s lightly snowing outside andmy bare feet are freezing! Excuse me–I need my Uggs!
I LOVE swing dancing! My favorite thing to do!
My favorite foundation of all time is the makup forever matte velvet +. Love your blog Karen
I was born in the 80s.
Peanut butter + nutella = heaven.
Of course, my waistline begs to differ, but…
Another awesome giveaway ! 😀

I’ve never gone swing dancing but I’ve gone salsa dancing!

I haven’t seen ALL of Elvis’ movies, but I really enjoyed King Creole. You should check it out! 🙂

When I was in middle school back in the sixties ( am I your oldest follower?) we would use a white eye shadow stick to mix with pink lipstick to make a pale pink lip.
Love love sephora!
It’s actually sunny today! Woohoo!
I went to Sephora on my bday and splurged on a Laura Marcier “flawless face” starter kit. It was very exciting 🙂
I’m currently learning how to swing dance.
I have never gone swing dancing.
gorgeous day here in minnesota! feeling springy- pulled out mac’s star violet eye shadow- forgot how much i like it!
Such nice weather (finally) in Chicago! Thanks for the giveaway!
I am excited about the super full moon tonight! I want to go run around town like a crazy werewolf.
I was born in 1965 and remember when lots of roads weren’t paved, doors were left unlocked, and eating out was a real treat because it seldom happened.
Retro-bare face and Twiggy lashes
My favorite black and white movie is Some Like It Hot. Its the perfect film to watch on a Saturday night with lots of junk food. 😀
Karen, you brighten up my day when I am in bed sick….poo on colds!
I love the thick liner erased lip look from the sixties, especially when combined with a coiffed pony tail. Classic~!
Is it wrong to wear full makeup while sitting at home watching basketball all day? I’m testing a primer.
Karen, I would love to see you in some vintage makeup looks. Thank you for yet another awesome giveaway!
My fave black and white is either It’s a Wonderful Life or Some Like is Hot, thanks for the giveaway!

i’m really digging 70’s makeup at the moment
I’m going to Nordstrom for lunch today. Last week, there was a hair in my salad, so I’m think maybe I’ll stick to a sandwich.
my fave retro look is the twiggy/diana ross 60s look
Favourite black and white movie – “Some like it hot” with the beautiful MM
hmm… ever be with someone u realize u can’t live with because of the way we live? maybe dirty underwear on the floor everywhere and feet on my pillows really can eventually eat away at love…
i’m addicted to ebay. my last purchase was a polaroid camera for 5 bucks!
Can’t dance for anything!
Feeling lucky today…
Thanks Karen!
i don’t know about swing dancing but I do enjoy salsa dancing! plus its a hell of a great cardio workout!

A lovely Saturday gardening with my granddaughter!
There are so many things I want from Sephora right now 🙂
Spring is finally hereeeee!!!!!!

It’s pouring here …and I left my windows down. 🙁
Lovely giveaway! I’m actually planning my first trip to a sephora store ever in a few weeks! So excited! 🙂
I really hope my brother and I can get a Nikon 105mm macro lens! it’ll be so exciting if we can.
Spring break!!!!!!
I’m going on my first real vacation in April! Just booked the rooms! I’m already planning what I’m going to pack! …especially make up.
I was born in the 80’s but 80’s fashion is so not my style… 😉
Ooooo! I likey Sephora!

Would be nice to win this for spring makeup shopping and as a mommy to be gift 🙂
I love B&W movies, so it’s very hard to choose just one.
I always wish I had more money to spend at Sephora – this would certainly help!
It seems like everyone’s on spring break right now, or going to have their spring break soon. I have to wait till the last week of April! Crazy right?!
Wooooooooooooooo! Sephora!!!!!!!!!!
POKE. >.<
just browing this before i go eat dinner with the hubby!
I want to watch a lot of black and white movies, but I don’t know which!
xoxo
I totally wish I could make the perfect cat eye!
I love sushi and makeup!
Yay!!! Sephora!!!
Am I the only one getting sassed by a beloved pet today? This shih tzu has be givin me a lotta lip today… 😛
I am depressed my Bruins just lost in the NCAA tourny 🙁 I need this..
Some of my fave black and white movies: Mildred Pierce, The Women (original version of course) , Stella Dallas & It Happened One Night!
Favorite black and white movie? Planet 9 From Outer Space, soooo awful but so hilarious! 🙂

Comment: bay area weather is terrible right now! 🙁 thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
I really love cat eyes and red lips too
I slept well. I little too well….went to bed extremely late and therefore got up extremely late. We’ll see if I get anything accomplished today.
Totally loving matte lips right now! (But my pocketbook begs to differ…)
This morning I broke up with my boyfriend twice, then took it back both times. We live together. Now we aren’t talking. A new Cold War has begun and I just wish it would end somehow.
i can’t wait for this snow to melt!!! 😀
Yay giveaway!! I’m going to spend this evening by Lake Michigan in hopes of catching a glimpse of the “supermoon”!!! Any plans on your side?? 🙂
Sunset Boulevard-Best. Movie. Ever. (even though I usually prefer later movies :D).
Love Trader Joe’s like you do! And I bought the Pita Bite Crackers that you blogged about. Keep your TJ recs coming (and of course your makeup recs too!)
I just got back from shopping. I picked up the Make Me Blush from Stila from Sephora. It was only $14!
Just bought Bare Minerals makeup from Sephora this past weekend & I love it!!! My favorite part is the concealer brush. Covers up those red spots beautifully! I could sure use this gift card because I saw about a million other items I would love to have from there 😉
Hey Karen! Hope your weekend is going well. My man has to work 48 hours in a row so I’m a bit lonely over here. I would say I’m going crazy because I’m talking to my dogs, but I always talk to them!
I think I’m going to buy a new eyelash curler today!
The weather right now in California is so moody. It’s rainy one day then sunny the next -.-
I love “It Happened One Night.” It’s so cute, and with Rhett Butler, I mean Clark Gable, what’s not to love??
I’ve been wanting to try the NARS lip gloss pencil, and this would definitely get me one! 🙂
Shopping day todayyyy!! In loving the weather 🙂
Let’s see, I am moving to Guam in 2 months, there is no Sephora, and Sephora does not ship there. A Sephora gift card would be nice!
What are you and Tabs having for dinner?
just got home from an hour walk with my little people….super nice out today!!
I love swing dancing! I used to dance a couple of times a week in college.
Yet another great giveaway!
I haven’t been able to afford anything at Sephora in the longest! There are so many new things that are just waiting to be in my makeup bag! Good luck all!
Cheers!
My all time favorite movie, it’s a wonderful life, also happens to be black and white. It’s always on during the holiday season and I always find myself crying and smiling at the same time, and then my entire family thinks I’m crazy
Last time you hosted this kind of giveaway, I thought ‘If I win, I’ll buy a Clarisonic’. Alas, I didn’t win… but I bought a Clarisonic anyway! LOL Best 170€ I ever spent!!!
I need this so bad so I can stock up on skin care!! Thanks for the giveaway!
I was born in the 80’s! Nothing too retro for me!!
You and Tabs are a beautiful pair =)
All the best wishes and blessings to the victims in Japan!!
Hope I win! I really wanna try some Bite lippies 🙂
I was born in the 90’s
and HOLY WOW I checked netflix recently and they have some of my FAVORITE cartoons from when I was little! Amazing!!
the last old movie i saw was the ORIGINAL Oceans Eleven… i enjoyed it although i was kinda skeptical at first.
<3
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed!~ I WANNA WIN!!! ME MEMEMEME!!
Dunno if I can pick just one fave B&W movie, but I love The Philadelphia Story. 😀
I love a good Audrey Hepburn movie – Roman Holiday or Sabrina!
I just got a fun haircut in NYC. I hope I win this card!
The carpet installers just left my house in shambles! I wil be cleaning until Monday morning 🙁 Just taking a break to see what’s going on in makeup-land 🙂 You girls always cheer me up!
I was born in the swingin’ sixties! I’m Olllllld!
By the way my favorite black and white movie is “A Christmas Carol” with Alistair Sim.
A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories, along with “A Little Princess”
Are you going to watch the Super full moon tonight?
just came back from work.. woooo im tired!
i am craving indian food
I am a huge fan of Sephora, and thanks to Sephora, I now have a new favorite eyeliner…the Hello Kitty Glittercute Eyeliner in “Grape Soda – (dark lilac with silver micro glitter).
I took the following from my review that I wrote last night after using the liner for the first time…
“I am in my 40’s, have pale skin and brown eyes. The dark lilac is perfect, and I usually look stupid with glitter.
Be warned, this liner goes on a little “wax-like”, and if I needed a darker line, I would have to use a normal liner. But I really liked the end result, as it was subtle…and I pulled of glitter without looking like I was a 42 year old (and not the Demi Moore-type of 42) trying to be 17 again. I only wore it with some black mascara and tinted moisturizer, and I looked great. It may not be dark enough if I wanted to use eye shadow with it (but I find that eye shadow emphasizes my eye wrinkles these days so I rarely use it any more…make the most of your youth, as I find that make-up isn’t as fun as when I was younger).
I am afraid that I will be purchasing a couple of other colors, even though I already have too much make-up (if there is such a thing).
If you are expecting a normal, densely pigmented eyeliner, this may not be what you are looking for. However, I wasn’t looking for this kind of product, and I fell in love with it immediately.”
Seriously, I am wearing it right now, and it looks great in daylight, too.
Thank you, Sephora, for all the great promotions and great brands. It’s hard to work out what works when you are no longer 17…or 20…or even 30. I wish I had more fun with makeup when I was younger, as I never thought about my eyelids getting wrinkly and crêpey.
It’s raining and I love it! A cozy weekend with the hubs and the cat = heaven. 🙂
I just went to Sephora today and would love to have this ecard to fund my next Sephora mission! 🙂
I love all of your fabulous giveaways!
I just got my hair Keratin straightened and I LOVE IT has anyone else got this procedure done before?
You make me miss my kitty!!
I was born in the ’60’s – right before the “Summer of Love”. Believe it or not, I can remember watching the moon landing on TV even though I was only 2 1/2 at the time. Geeky from the start!
It’s cold and rainy here in SoCal, so I think it’s a great weekend for some indulgences like a face mask and deep conditioning hair treatment. Gotta make it work somehow!
I love your blog and i love blush!
Going to watch Beastly tonight because finally its Spring Break!
Pick me!
this would 100% make my weekened lol
Thank you Karen for this nice little contest!
I don,t have a favorite b-&-w movie but I do like winged eyeliner–if only i could do it on ME it,s be awesome!
I like sparkles. 🙂
It’s not a full movie (or black and white, for that matter), but I love the sepia-toned beginning of “The Wizard of Oz.”
“Tabs and I (heretofore referred to as “T-Money and K-Dawgâ€) ” – I still laugh when I read this.
If I win, it’s shopping time…..well…..even if I don’t win it’s shopping time.
Blue is now my favorite color, I’ve been sporting it in my clothes and accessories, and more recently, my makeup! It’s so weird how quickly taste changes!
Lip gloss is my favorite, I don’t leave home without it:)
Love Love Love Sephora…too bad we don’t have it in Australia! Tweeted and sooo want to win!
i’m at work right now. this is how i spend my saturday night every week. 🙁
My favourite black and white movie would definitely have to be Dracula. 😀
I was born in the 70s however I think I shoulda been born in the swing era!! If you’re ever visiting thru Chicago you MUST visit the coolest retro swing club ‘The Green Mill”. All the cool cats are found there. If your lucky you might even sit in Al Capone’s booth. CRAZY COOL PLACE….
im now obsessed with urban decay eye shadow primer so im reealllly hoping ill win!!!xoxoxox
Happy Saturday. It’s been a very LONG work week! Very tired & lazy today. Would love to win a Sephora gift card. I want to try Photo’Perfexion Light Fluid Foundation -very expensive though!

Has anyone ever tried Nutella and Fluff? It’s tastebud euphoria…
Red, red lipstick is my fave. I love a catseye, but uts tricky with my eyeshape. Working on it!
thanks for hosting, karen!
p.s. I have been addicted to tropical trail mix… with dried bananas, papaya and pineapple. delish! it’s not much healthier than a candy bar (sugar wise), but it makes me feel better than eating a butterfinger 🙂
After a long week things are going better.
Love watching reruns of I love Lucy!

I spend absolutely too much money at this place and need some help to buy more stuff 🙁
woot! this is an awesome contest, ill keep my fingers crossed 🙂
I would have so much fun with $50 from sephora! I was born in the 80s. Sometimes I wish I actually lived thru them so I could have taken part in the big hair and bright makeup! 🙂

So glad this week is finally over. My apartment got broken into twice!
Love your blog!
Tried Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide On Liner earlier this week & I love it! 🙂

My favorite black and white movie is Pride and Prejudice (1940) starring Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson.
Leaving on my Moroccan adventure next week, just found out that London will be having a major march precisely during my long stopover when I planned on spending fistfuls of pounds at Boots and M&S. Sigh.

I just finished cleaning out my beauty drawer and I’m sporting a right eye that is a black smoky look with a touch of purple on the edges… on the left eye I have a softer brown smoky eye for day time. Just trying to get rid of the old stuff and see what I can use up. Happy Saturday!
So ready for spring! Hoping for $50 to spend at Sephora to freshen up my look!

I have never done swing dancing, it looks fun though! I’m an Irish dancer, that takes up most of my time!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Too cloudy here to see the perigee moon but a Sephora gift card would make me totally forget about that!
I love cat eyes for a confidence boost!
I just got back to college tonight and it’s so quiet!!
I am evacuating Japan for the USA in a couple of days. I would love to win as a pick-me-up, a means to relax, and as a reminder of some normality in times of devastation. I love visiting your blog everyday to read your cheerful blog and see what tabs is up to!
I’ve never been swing dancing, but it’s always something that I have wanted to try!
It’s Spring Break!!! Ahhh so excited to go shopping.
So, I finally hit the 3-0 at the beginning of March, and treated myself to a big ol’ bottle of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison from Sephora. Such lovely smelling stuff, I’m wearing it to bed!
Hi,
I love the pictures on your blog! Thanks for the makeup tips.
i got some cute lipgloss today!
It never ceases to amaze me Karen how many followers you’ve gained since I first started following your blog in 2008, you’ve grown in leaps & bounds!
Tweeted: I’m iowagirl301 on Twitter
I just adopted a stray and named her Cleopatra Jones. She kind of looks like Tabs now that I look at both of them haha :3.
Hey foxy!
I’ve been way into youtube-ing retro dance videos. Chubby Checkers’ “The Fly” is not to be missed!!
XO!
bj
i’m in love with marilyn monroe and anything retro and i’m obsessed with kat von d and urban decay makeup. 🙂 crossing my fingers…love your blog by the way. it’s hard to find a good makeup and beauty blog these days.
I’ve tried swing dancing and failed miserably. Coordination – something I lack.
My dog Sofie gave birth last December and I’ve been busy taking care of her litter since then. I’m sad because this week, her puppies are going to their new homes already 🙁
Amen to the lack of coordination! I can barely zumba! :-p
I like old movies!
I picked up some NYX today at Ulta! Can’t wait to try.
My favorite black and white film is: Roman Holiday.
This is such a cool prize!
I just applied my first crackle polish yesterday and the verdict is….I love it!
i heart sephora!!!! <333333333 i gave up buying makeup for Lent (cuz it was that bad).. This would be a nice pick me up after Lent is over hehehe 😉
80s baby here, woot woot!
Anyway, I can’t wait for spring. We got a taste of it yesterday but it decided to go away =(
im drinking lemonade from hot dog on a stick.
just got back from my masquerade ball
I have so much due on Monday it’s ridicuous:/
I never like to dance to in public, thus Milo the pooch had to witness all the embarrassment 😛
another good giveaway!
I would love love love to buy some good quality serum from Sephora!!
this is a great giveaway!
Have a great week :D!
Wupiiiiiiii 4 this GA!!!!!
yay giveaways!! much needed after a tough week…. I am loving urban decay shadows right now so it would be perfect!
My fav black and white movie…I just watched the Thin Man and loved it–Nick and Nora were hilarious! Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It’s a Wonderful Life are two of my alltime favorites, though!
My favorite black and white movie is Casablanca!
i am SUCH a sephora addict! writing a thesis now, could use a pick-me-up =)
I just tried out two new colors in the e.l.f. neutral eye encyclopedia palette (second time using it) and paired with Lancome’s Color Design in Visionary (beige sheen) I looked fantastic in under five minutes! Nothing makes my day better than good application of makeup (that doesn’t make me *feel* made up) boosting my self-esteem.
I think I have social anxiety disorder.
I was born in 1986 and I really should watch Some Like It Hot.
I love swing dancing – especially aerials!
Love your work Karen!
I was born in the early 90s (but I wish I could have been a teenager in the 90s!).
Still studying (sigh), but this would definitely be a pick-me-up! There’s a number of products that I want to pick up from Sephora so getting this would be super helpful 🙂
Born in the early 90s!
I was born in the 80s, but can do without the neon lips. I love the winged eyes of the 60s and matte lips.
Wish I could find the new WNW Vanite Quartet Lip and Eye Palette…been lemming it. Any sightings?
born in the 80s!
Swwweeet!
I was born in the 90’s, meaning I missed the 90’s grunge period (since I was to young then). I wish I’d been able to go through the grunge thing haha
sephora is my second home!
just played around with clinique’s antioxidant lip smoothie in mango-thon and ohmygoshhhhh i’m so ready for summer 😀
I always tend to call OPI’s awesome Katy Perry nail polish Not Unlike the Waves instead of Not Like the Movies, since the former is one of my favourite songs.
I was a definate child of the 80’s, lol! I still love big hair (minus the mall bangs)
Just saying goodbye to my last spring break…. So sad… I guess we all grow up eventually. I feel like I need some ice cream and old rat pack movies to make it better!!!
I was born in the 1980s – but at the end so I was more of a 90s kid!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
this sunny weathers making me want to go out and buy loads of summer clothes !! it’s been so nice i wish there was a beach near me ! 🙂 x
i just reently discovered Sephora. I lOVE LOVE LOVE it, especially the bins near the register.
i love my rimmel lipstick in vintage pink!
Hi! Thanks for the chance to win!
GOodmorning to yourself, young lady. I hope you slept better than i did, having a nasty cold, bleh.. enjoying this sunday with my cat in the couch.
xox Sarah
What up yall? I’m getting ready to head back to school…cya spring break!
I’ve started drinking my coffee with real cream instead of powdered creamer, and it’s amazing! 🙂
What a great give away! Like it!
My 2 little girls learned biking today, whoha! Proud mom here! I remember my first biking, sooo scared.. but finally I learned… now I instructed my kids, how weird is that? (and it seems I’m getting old..;-)
… in training for a 5k!
I have a veritable wardrobe of red lipstick (at least four matte shades I can remember right now, two stains and a handful of glosses!)
(Also, I’m a lurker. I read you at work.)
(It’s okay. Really, they just pay me to sit here.)
i’m really hungry.
Happy Spring!!! Would love this for some spring Sephora makeup!!!
i could use this gift card, so one day i can receive a naked palette (fingers crossed)
I basically spent my weekend going to every drugstore in the area trying to find that stupid Revlon Fashion’s Night Pout lipstick. I am pooped! And still no luck with the lipstick! Thanks for holding this contest Karen 🙂
i love chocolates!
Drinking Higlander Grogg coffee on a beautiful Sunday mornng.
hope everyone is having a great weekend!
wow sounds brill!
My favorite black and white movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life”. I love to watch old movies on Turner Classic Movie channel. I don’t like old ganster movies. I could’ve used this Sephora card last night! I finally got Urban Decay’s Naked palette! Thanks.
makeupgirl21@comcast.net
I’m an 80s baby myself and wore my fair share of neon and glitter clothing in the first grade. 🙂
I was born in the early 80s… so I missed out on most of the amazingly camp 80s fashion trends because I was so young. Instead, I got Grunge in the 90s. Seemed cool at the time, but looking back I wish I’d been born about 5 years earlier!
Me Me Meeeeeeeeee
I was born in the 70’s and absolutely love your blog! Keep the post coming, your sense of humor is infectious. Have a great day!
Happy 1st day of spring! It’s thunderstorming here and my allergies are in full force.
my holidays are officially over ):
I’ve been feeling sicky this week, a spree at Sephora would certainly be a pick-me-up 🙂
I’ve always wanted to name a cat Sam.
I love Sephora!
Enjoy the Sunday 🙂
oh happy day, I don’t work today
lurve lurve lurve MBB!
I’m baking brownies (from a box — teehee) for a potluck tonight!
I love smokey eye and nude lip. I have tried to master the smokey eye!
Happy Sunday! Fave B&W movie is probably Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. There are plenty others that I adore as well.
I have been swing dancing and because I’m petite the guys think they can just pick you up willy nilly. So I’m not that big of a fan. Favorite retro makeup? Probably purple mascara!
I love Sephora.
My Birthday is on March 24 and I need it!!!!
Love the rain…God bless
Woo-Hoo! I’m up for a sephora Haul, yo!
YAY! Another sephora contest! You’re such a sweetheart for giving away these contests. Love ya Karen <3
I love classic American black and white movies, especially screwball comedies and film noir thrillers.
I just got back from getting my Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 and a few makeup goodies for the spring! I can’t wait till it starts to get a bit more sunny!
I was born in the 80’s and in every picture (until I was about 7) I had those hair ties with the colored balls on the end. Hot, right?
Some like it Hot, hands down, favourite black and white movie…favourite movie of all time ackshully!
After looking at your recent posts, I’ll definitely be needing this!
Maybe this will be my lucky entry!
Planning to go to Sephora to check out the new spring collections!
Love the weekend entries! Makes my weekend 🙂
This blog is awesome. I have a fashion/beauty blog http://WWW.FASHIONJUNKIIEE.COM
and I am following you on Twitter, follow me: @fash1onjunkiiee . Everyone ready for SPRING? I sure am! Cat eyed shades, long flowy skirts, and floppy hats:)
winning a $50 gift card would be really helpful right now!
Born in the 90s!
I just put an awesome holo on my nails!
I went to Uni in the late 80’s – when I look at the yearbook I’m horrified by the big, layered, poofy hair on everyone [me included!] What were we thinking?!! 🙂
Winning a $50 gift card would be amazing! I’d run out and get the naked pallette! 🙂

Thanks again for another cool giveaway opportunity, too.
My favorite black and white movie is definitely Holiday with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant-it’s fantastic!
How do you choose your prize winners?
It’s a Ugly day in L.A today!
I just bought the Sephora professional Platinum Concealer Brush and I absolutely LOVE it! Now I want to try the foundation brush so badly!
Definitely from the 80’s. But didn’t really wear makeup until 2000s so I missed some of the awesome trends. Still catching up on those.
LOVE your blog, Karen!
Only half black and white, but I love the Wizard of Oz!
Went to the mall yesterday and I literally had to have my mom grab my arm and as we passed Sephora… haha
I love Sephora! I’ve only been there once, and couldn’t afford to buy anything.
I want to see Tabs in his black leather jacket and pegged jeans.
my spring break is in one week and never been more excited!
i wish i didn’t have so much hw to do right now. I’d be doing my nails! 🙁
Not really a huge black and white movie fan but love old classics with Bing Crosby, Ginger & Fred, Marilyn Monroe, anything with either of the talented Hepburns….you get the idea.
braces suck
I love old movies, it’s so fun to watch TCM!
ooh, my favourite black and white movie has to be 12 angry men. love it!

Love the blog, and check it out religiously
I was born in the 80’s!
i’m ready for the rain to end for at least an hour when I can walk the dogs. They’re going slowly insane with too much energy
Never done swing dancing!
Spring break while I was home in Seattle actually started to get warm and sunny towards the end, but now I’m back at school in Los Angeles and it is raining like CRAZY! oh, the irony….
Ahh! Made it by the hair on my chinny chin chin (which a good pair of tweezers can fix any sunny day). I love the movie The Harvey Girls. It isn’t a black and white movie but it’s pretty old lol. Old Hollywood glam is awesome and this movie makes me wish I had lived back then 🙂
kinda hungry… craving fast food..
Karen,
I hope u can beat my sister in law and win this so I cn brag it to her face! Thank you for a chance to win and gloat.
-Jo
Yeah, it’s finally Spring! I am hoping to start my power walks (speed walks) this week. I hope to be jogging by the end of the year.
I love that your personality shows through so much in your posts. Ditto Kristin, much much lurve for MBB!
the decade you were in your 20s is the best decade ever
If it pleases you so…..how about some reviews of products for men or that men could use
just a thought…
Tihe rain is coming DOWN here in San Diego! Crazy storm!! Perfect nite to stay in and browse makeup and blogs online 😉
great blog! love sephora.
Loving these giveaways, but is there any way to turn off the emails with others comments? – they fill up my inbox! (i have unchecked the box)
i’ve been looking all over the place for that infamous ecotools brush that you swear by…even the new emeryville target doesn’t carry it, TT_____TT i’m starting to think you just bought it elsewhere and are tempting us with glowing reviews of how lovely it is…
…on the plus side, did you know dolce vita has shoes at target. WOOT. i bought the pair of black cork wedges, fairly comfy! now if only the weather would cooperate….
I love doing a red lip with subtly winged liner!
ahhh this is awesome
Hope I made it!
I’m in the search for a good, nude pump
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/DalaLuz/status/49901017302708224
And my favorite B&W would be Porgy & Bess. Although that one might be in color… It has ben a long time since I’ve seen it but I love, love, love the music!
I missed seeng the moon on the 19th 🙁
I really love your blog, partly because we share a similar complexion.
I would love to win this (:
I swear to you Karen, if hubz continues playing Angry Birds the way he does, he’s going to go blind I think!
I also RT’d :0)
Hope to win! Love your blog! 🙂
