Whenever I make it over to see my family in Hawaii, I try to get a shave ice, one of my favorite sweet treats.
Pronounced “shave ice”, it’s a souped up snow cone with finely shaved ice flavored with syrups like Liliko’i (a variety of passion fruit), guava, mango and tangerine. People will sometimes add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and/or sweet, chewy azuki beans to the bottom of the cone (trust me — it’s good).
My favorite place to get shave ice here on Oahu is Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore. I always get the same thing: a small Liliko’i with ice cream and beans at the bottom and condensed milk on top. YUM!
Sweet Hawaii-style shave ice reminds me of MAC’s Sugarsweet collection, and today’s giveaway features two of its tasty treats!
The prize
One lucky lady will win two items from MAC’s Sugarsweet collection (a $32 value):
- MAC Tricolour Lipglass in Tasty: a sheer raspberry pink
- MAC Eyeshadow in Dear Cupcake: a shimmery pinkish coral
How to enter

Ooh, the ‘shave ice’ sounds delicious. I do love desserts/sweets…
It’s sunny here today and I’m in a wonderful mood 🙂
I just had 2 bowls of cherry flavoured yoghurt, just before dinner… oops!
Hey!!! Thank you so much for this beauty blog. I really appreciate how you share your honest opinion about everything from makeup to life! love ya!

Happy Memorial Day! SO and I are up at his parents’ house and we’re planning on going to the beach today. 😀
Catherine´s last blog post..Skincare Routine VIDEOS
Did you know that chickens make the best wingmen? They seem to have the same tastes as human men do when it comes to women, so when placed in a room full of people will head towards the prettiest lady. Late night television (Manswers) taught me this.
Its so hot in here!! 🙂
I’m currently ass-deep in work! I have a presentation tomorrow I am unprepared for, which is forcing me to skip a class I genuinely enjoy today. Woe! My beautification routine today is taking a huge hit because of this. 🙁 I’ll be glad when I’ve got everything together – I’ll be pampering myself when I’m done!
I wish I had a M.A.C store closer to me, but it’s probably better for my wallet that I don’t. 😉
Happy Memorial Day! I am going over to friends to have a delicious dinner 🙂
always want to try MAC’s gloss,, looks super delicious!!
This website is one of my favs!! The posts are just what i’m looking for in a beauty site.
I am going to Ireland in September!
Sarah´s last blog post..Polished.
Happy Memorial Day Everyone! 🙂
Since reading your blog you’ve re-newed my love of cosmetics and for that I thank you Karen! I’m going to be making my first adventure to a Sephora in Seattle, your blog has given me so many ideas of things to look for, I’m making a list(I’m afraid I’m going to be overwhelmed when I get there and end up crying in the fetal position from over-stimulation).
I am in love with the bath and body scent called magnolia blossom and pear blossom! it is awesome! 🙂
i lurve me some Matsumoto shave ice! always have a long line waiting for that yummy treat but i dont mind it ‘cuz i walk across the street to browse thru the stores while my hubby keeps our place in line hehehe
Hmm I think that eyeshadow could make a nice blush also. Double-duty!
You should give Rita’s Water Ice a try! It’s amazing.
Shave ice!! Yum!!! =9 must go eat some tomorrow as it is my day off. 😉 as for today, i’m going to get my eyebrow threaded before i go in to work this afternoon. have a good week, Karen! 🙂
I’m bilingual in English and Filipino… so, as a native Tagalog speaker, I love how you used “Suwertehin ka sana!” as a tag line for this entry. 🙂
meimei´s last blog post..And Now, It Has Come to This….
I think I am a makeup addict!! in fact…i KNOW it!! 🙂
Happy Memorial Day Karen!
I’m swamped in work right now, but still procrastinating and looking at your blog…
And looking through five billion asian cosmetic sites, my friend is traveling to Korea this summer and picking things up for me, I’m SO EXCITED.
Wow, Hawaii sounds awesome! Here in Singapore the weather has been really awful… it’s usually bad anyway, but it’s been particularly hot and humid these few days. Thank god for aircon!
=D Lala.. a boring day at home. Umm.. I’m craving for something sweet. ahh.
I wonder if they taste good 🙂
Today’s a good day! I discovered my killer black top I wore to “boost my assets” in the eyes of certain gentlemen when I was 17 still works. Well….either that or I was attracting “you look ridiculous” attention. Either or!
They just opened a Crumbs bakeshop in my neighborhood, & I am totally addicted.
Im wearing strawberry secret deoderant lol
i love it, it smells so yummy!!!!!!~
I just found a bunch of cheap jeans on Kohl’s! And they actually fit.
Let us remember all those who have sacrificed their lives for our country today, on Memorial Day.
I’m excited to watch Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives tonight on the Food Network. I like to live vicariously through Guy and watch him eat incredible food.
sana nga swertehin ako dito! lol! well, i’m used to applying my make up at work because i’m a call center agent for technical support and i most likely memorized how to resolve issues. if i have already typed documentation even before the call ended, that leaves my hands and eyes with nothing else to do. and since i work night shift, applying make up wakes me up. right now i tried making egyptian eyes out of my chinita eyes using eyeliner and it looks really nice….

I´m watching a reality show about models from Austria. Kinda boring but I`m fascinated with models!
I’m wondering if bronze lipstick suits me because I got the limited edition Khuraira “Lady Obama” lipstick. Sana nga talaga suwertehin ako! 😉
I bought a MAC eyeshadow today. Patina Frost. I haven’t bought a MAC anything in almost a year.
If you have Patina, can you tell me how you use it?

I love your blog soooooooooooooo much(not kissing your butt or anything)but your amazing xx
Hi! my name is Cristina and me and my mom are going to make these perfect little venezuelan dessert today. It like a fried breadish kind of a thing rolled into a ball with cheese in the middle. Im so excited they are the best little things in the world! Happy Memorial Day everyone
I wish I was having some of that shaved ice… but I’m going to settle for making pancakes as lunch.
I love MAC! Thanks for the giveaway!

It’s lunchtime!! My co-worker one cubicle over is eating microwave popcorn and it’s making me hungry 🙂
Hope you’re having a fantastic holiday!
hmm anything at all! well let’s just say i’m exhausted. I let my 6 y/o sleep w/ me as well as my 2 pound chihuahua & huge pitbull. I’m going to sleep early tonight:] I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
I was highly tempted to pick up one of the Tricolour Lipglasses but didn’t end up doing it. Hopefully I can win this and try it out!
Happy Memorial Day
I love shaved iced too! Happy memorial day even though I don’t know what it is?

I love your blog! I am a girl from Norway who finish my 4 years education in 2 weeks. It would by so fun to win make-up as a treat to myself! 🙂
my cat’s name is shadow and we found her starving with no toenails. She is so sweet.
The prizes are so awesome. The winner would be the luckiest! Thanks.
We had 2 dogs and 1 cat! We lost Kayleigh dog when she was almost 19. Then, we lost Nikki cat when she was almost 17.
We still have our larger dog; named Beethoven, who is 17.
We now have an adorable Beagle pup; named Daisy, who is a puppy mill rescue. We almost lost her as an 8 week old pup to distemper. We took her a few hours away to a Vet. School Hospital where they remarkably saved her life! Thanks, Cindi
I have such bad hayfever today that I can’t even enjoy the nice weather. Boo!
This is my first posting but I read your blogs constantly! I love MAC and unfortunatly, my daughter is getting into it also (my poor pocketbook)!
I’m in serious need of retail therapy!
i really like cheese
and chocolate
but not chocolate-cheese 🙂
My pet is a spider named Mafalda! She lves between my plants and i even pick insects to feed her! 🙂
MAC is my superfave cosmetics brand and I have to drive 2+ hours to get it. Winning this giveaway would save me a tank of gas!!!!!!!
Just heading over to gf’s house. Planning on doing nails. Ha, she never heard of konad.
I’m also bilingual in English and Tagalog, so it put a smile on my face that you wrote “suwertehin ka sana!” 🙂 I hope that you’re enjoying Hawaii and that your family is doing well!
my dog, Shadow, is a pomeranian. She is the most annoying dog, i have ever seen haha.
Kacie´s last blog post..Requests?
Crazy how this is the giveaway for the day, seeing how I am making some delicious chocolate fudgy cupcakes yum!
I just woke up from a 2+ hour nap and feel guilty for not attending a single cookout or Memorial day related event.
Big presentation tomorrow. Lonely at the office on the Memorial day 🙂
I just did my first FOTD photo on MUA. It was received well. Yay!
Just want to say that i love Tabs the cat, en i allways enjoy the pictures´,

I think So You Think You Can Dance is the best reality show!

I just frankened my first polish, and I’m *SO* in love with it. 🙂
It’s so nice to hear about Hawaii from an “insider”. Have a great Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day! I’m so glad you’re enjoying Hawaii Karen. I’m all about this new deodorant from the brand Mbeze, it comes in a cute little solid perfume form called “deodorettes” and the scents are lovely! Definitely great for the summer.
OMG I soooo wanted both of those items from Sugar Sweet and ended up not getting them. I’d be thrilled to finally get them! Thanks!!
Goonies never say die! 🙂
my dog’s name is ginger. 🙂 she’s a beagle. <3
It’s been a really rainy Memorial Day weekend and I haven’t done much of anything so it’s hard to find something to comment on. Maybe that is my comment– I’m tired of rain and ready for the sun to shine. Hopefully tomorrow!
MAC Sugarsweet Collection- Sounds ONO to me!!!
Mahalo and Mabuhay!!!!!!!!!!
You wanted random, so here goes random:
I’m transcribing (writing the pronounciation out, using the phonetic alphabet) everything I come across, to prepare for an exam. I just transcribed: ‘a small Liliko’i with ice cream and beans at the bottom and condensed milk on top. YUM’ It looked weird XD
If you can believe it, I forgot to wear deoderant today! eek!
I swear by Secret deoderant. I haven’t used another one in years (I’m too afraid to), which probably isn’t fair. But Secret is the only one I trust.
oh hawaii!
that reminds me.. do you love hurricane popcorn then? 😀 mm. treats.
I am so happy that I have two healthy daughters! I really wanted daughters, mostly because of my husband’s horror stories of how bad he was as a kid, and the hormones he had when he was 14. I can deal with drama queens, I can’t deal with boys!
wow, i’ve never tried a coral eyeshadow before!
im finally going to depot my first eyeshadow today!
I wish I had a pet…. damn allergies…
Hey, I just discovered your blog, it’s great, thanks!
Random thought. Well because you mentioned deodorant. I recently found out I was pregnant (yay!…we’ve been trying…)…does that mean that I should not use deodorant with anti-perspirant? Any thoughts ladies?
Today we are relaxing at home.
It is a nice day outside and maybe we will go outside for a walk.
Have a safe trip back.
mmmm that shaved ice sounds so yummy!

Hi everyone!!
Omg! I am sooo glad I checked your blogged today. My family is from Mexico and everytime I go we get “raspados” which is shaved ice and we also flavor them with syrup and fruit! I am so excited to hear Hawaii has something so similar! My fave one is guava, condensed milk is a must. I dont think they add ice cream in Mexico, but maybe I might next time just to try it out!
Have a great holiday Karen! Here in Canada it’s just a regular Monday, so today I’m just working on some schoolwork! 🙁
This is so sweet of you to be throwing this give away. I absolutely love your humor 🙂

It looks like you’re having so much fun in Hawaii. I’ve been itching to travel just so I can check out the new MAC collection at the duty free store.
Cupcake is my nickname b/c I’m small and sweet. I looove to eat them too!
My cat looks like your Tabs 🙂 but his name is Itchy, though not cuz he has fleas, but because I’m a big Simpsons fan (Itchy & Scratchy) lol although Itchy is the mouse in the show!
Ooh wish i had some shave ice right now in pina colada flavor mixed with strawberry!
“My wife is missing”
The man approached the very beautiful woman in the large department store and asked, “You know, I’ve lost my wife somewhere in this department. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?”
“Why?”
“Because every time I talk to a beautiful woman my wife appears out of nowhere.”
😀
Mmmm that shave ice sounds good. It’s so hot over here that I would love to jump into a pool filled with that stuff (and azuki beans at the bottom, hehe!)
Hawaii suits you 😉 Enjoy your time in the sun but responsibly SUNSCREEN 😀
I love this blog and my 19 month old! Hope you are having a great time Karen!
The hubby and I are going to Oahu in October—we will definitely have to try some of that shaved ice!!!
i recently started to get into make up, but i’m learning!! i want to do make up for proms and high school kids later on in life because i think it helps them boost up their self esteem! i like helping girls know that they’re beautiful.
I hope I am not late yet… well…I am just gonna say Hello Karen..thanks for having the give away… =)

I’m so bored I’m watching Coming to America on Comedy Central. I could (should?) be studying for finals, but meh.
every time i travel internationally, i do so much duty-free make up shopping that i have trouble getting all my purchases onto the plane! i just can’t help it ^^
I’m watching Japanese game shows on youTube.
Thanks for the contest!
hawaiian shave ice sounds yummy
Today was a good day! 🙂
Wish I can surf in Hawaii again some day! I learned but never got up on my own yet.
I just got back from the outlet mall where I scored a ton of awesome deals! 😀
I want to learn German so I can travel abroad and vacation in Germany and Switzerland!
So Karen choose me please!!!
haha apart from that, have you ever thought of doing a blog about your favourite perfume? I’d really like to know
I’m hungry. lol
My cat, Pepper, is the cutest thing! He is laying on the back of a chair, sleeping, but he is sprawled out like he is dead!! hahaha!!
Does Tabs do that?
I have the cutest Pomeranian, her name is Shady, and she just turned 9 months old! 🙂
I’m on vacation too!

I wear Dove deodorant. haha. :]
smiley´s last blog post..My Skincare Routine
Shave ice sounds absolutely yummy! Thanks for running the giveaways!
We have something similar to shave ice here in the south. Snow balls. They’re much different the snow “cones” as the ice is very finely shaved and the syrup choices are monumental. In fact, I need one right now! Thanks for reminding me … and thanks for a great giveaway opp!
skincarequeen 9 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Waaaah, stop making my mouth water! I can’t wait until I finally go to Hawaii and try everything you’ve mentioned these past few days. 🙂
I love shaved ice! Though there’s lots of ice cream sitting in my fridge at the moment..
thank goodness for this site and makeup lol , it seriously brings up my mood !
soooo, i guess ill tell you about my day, i now REALLY hate mondays.
i was super tired today because i stayed up late studying for a science test, only to find out i studied the wrong thing. and in last block, i find out my close friend flirts with the guy i like (did i mention she already has a boyfriend?!?!? what is she doing right????) and in art i arrived with 3 of my friends and at the end of class i was sitting in the corner by myself cause they all ditched and didnt say “bye” either.
thanks Karen! this site like made my day!
LOL i hope you enjoyed my rant!
Right now I am watching my cat sleep. He is lying on his back, lil paws up in the air, and tongue sticking out a bit. Cute!
My hair is very soft today!
im dreading going back to school tomorrow…why cant this weekend last forever?
I love frozen ices.
BrooklynShoeBabe´s last blog post..Snikt!
the weather here is like sauna. i went for a walk to get the mail today and as a result, i am now half naked typing away at my laptop.
Love your blog–so informative.
I’m hoping I land a job at Nordstroms. Wish me luck. 😀
Mmmm! Shave Ice. Your making my mouth water.
I’m currently craving cupcakes, and trying to decide if walking 80 minutes to my favorite bakery is worth it!
I love the website. Im having a great day in the sun x
Today was a bad day. I could NOT go to the mall *wipes tear from eyes*
I just mowed my lawn. I deserve to win!! Ha ha.
Well, since you mentioned deodorant, here’s my latest few Twitters (no, I’m not kidding; my life really _is_ this boring), all stitched together.
“10 minutes ago from TwitterBar: I reached up just now to adjust my hair & got a whiff of my deodorant. It’s a new tube, & a new scent I’m trying for the first time. Dove Energizing Grapefruit and Lemongrass. I really, REALLY like it. It makes me smell all clean and HAPPY! (You know what they say: Clean-ness is next to happy-ness. Or … something.)
“6 minutes ago from TwitterBar: Maybe I should stop sniffing my armpit now. I’m starting to get a headache.”
I’m a postal worker with a pet snake (he’s orange!) and I forgot deodorant today. *shame*
I’m doing an optional assignment despite the fact that school ended two weeks ago. Law school blows.

Ugggghhh. I have to go back to work tomorrow. Winning this could ease the pain a little!
I am half black and filipino and growing up we had a dessert very similiar to what your post was about. We call it ‘Halo Halo’ or ‘Mix Mix’!! We used shaved ice, we we use laof pans to freeze the water in for huge ice cubes!! Lol coconut milk and you add whatever tasty treats in it that you like. I like coconut and jackfruit.. So delish! We had this huge metal iceshaver that gave you a workout!! Reading your post makes me wan t to find that Manila Mart that is just outside of Atlanta.. Hahaha!! And maybe get some cassava cake while I’m at it!! Enjoy the rest of your day!!
Yummm.
Lilicoi is AMAZING <3
i tried it on Hawai’i, and am so depressed you can get it in So Cal =(

“sana nga swertihin din ako” YAY! 🙂
Mmm all this talk about sweet stuff reminds me of all the dessert my family and me had today!!! There’s no shave ice here in Arg, but there sure is dulce de leche, yum!!!
I went to prom last night! It was awesome.
I wear old spice deodorant! I much prefer the smell of it to baby powder scents, plus it blocks sweat more than Dove which I found did nothing at all.
My best friend who I have a crush on is SOOO blind… I was IMing him today and said that he and his girlfriend are now in different neighborhoods because his mom and stepdad moved again. Sigh… The course of true love never did run smooth (from A Midsummer Night’s Dream) 😉
Just got home from a Memorial Day BBQ….mmm BBQ beef is the best.
I’m off to Macy’s to pick up something from Lancome. They’re running a GWP for Lancome.. I always get sucked into them!! I don’t even know what I want from Lancome yet… and it ends today!
studying for business anthro right now – not fun!
I love pictures, looking back brings so many memory! I am a maniac when it comes to pictures, when i go on trips i take pictures of everything like lil details of anything and everything!

Since I do not have a pet I will talk about Tabs. How cute was he yesterdays post about CHANEL. Although Tabs may like Venus Glossimer, I think I will have to pass and go for the Cosmos color.
That tricolour lipglass looks really interesting!
I’m a photographer and I love makeup, it’s a shame I can’t afford that much, but I would love to shoot someone who wears amazing makeup!
The colors, the intensity, it says so much, it even expresses you! Now if only men understood why we take so long to put it on, now that’s a different story!
🙂
Happy Memorial Day! I wish I could say that I spent the holiday in a gloriously fabulous way, lounging around with a margarita, but alas, my husband and I decided to redo the landscaping in our backyard and then reorganize our den. I’m actually ready for work to start again tomorrow! lol
My graduation is tomorrow!! AHHH
aww i love talking about my pets! i have 3 cats 🙂 they’re all such loves and completely adorable
My long weekend is almost over and I’m bummed 🙁 Your trips to Hawaii always remind me of the family I worked for way back in the 80s 😛 Thanks for sharing!
Happy Memorial Day! Glad you are having a good vacation, that is so important!
the tri-lipgloss reminds me of neopolitan ice cream. Yum!
Happy Memorial Day, everyone! Too bad I have to go to work and I’m 3hrs late. LOL
I’m craving a Neapolitan ice cream sandwich, but there aren’t any in the fridge
i had a fudge brownie sundae today!
It’s 3.36 over here right now and I’m STILL awake! so what better to do, than check your page =)
The Hills is on tonight!! =) I can’t wait.
Hope Memorial Day is going wonderfully!
I just found a new love for Cookie Dough Ice Cream! 😛
Benadryl makes me groggy.
In two weeks I leave for a summer in the Bay Area, and I am so excited and nervous!
I just finished a large bowl of Fruity Pebbles. I don’t think I will ever be too old to enjoy this delish cereal!
sana nga swertehin ako! hehe.. i’m a political activist but my friends could not believe that i actually am because they say i’m too “kikay” for that. 😉
Ooooooh OOOOOOOOh OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh. I love MAC make-up!
I took a mac make-up class last week with my daughter. LOVED it!
The Shave Ice place was on PBS Sunday!!! We wondered about the beans???
Amazing giveaway! I have a French Bulldog named Daisy Duke who turned 6 years old today! I promise to share the gift with her…
Reading about your favorite summer treat reminded me about “ice water” which is actually like a really really smooth snow cone, with syrup on it. It was amazingly good, and the flavors rocked, but I’ve only seen it when I was on a trip to a beach on the east coast! I seriously want some right now…
I hope everybody had an awesome Memorial Day, it was a beautiful day for it!
I love MAC!! Hope u had an awesome day!
I’ve been having horrendous eye irration (seeing the eye doctor tomorrow) and haven’t been able to wear eye makeup for the past few days. I miss my makeup!
I go to one of the most expensive colleges, have the best recommendations, have good work skills and still can’t even get a job working minimum wage.
I love your site! I hope I win 🙂
i have a big scratch on my knee!
I have a little bird named Ava (the avian, of course!) who is a year old. The parrot picture you had up the other day reminded me of her, because she loves to say, “HAAAAAAAY!” 🙂
Between going to Ulta, Lush, Sephora, and the MAC counter, I spent waaaaaay more than I meant to this weekend. Oooops! Sometimes you just need retail therapy. 🙂
I am relaxing this Memorial Day!
New to the site and LOVE IT!

I had a serious case of the Mondays and forgot to put on deodorant this morning omg!!! So my hubby, the knight in shining armour that he is, brought some to me at work!
I’m having the case of hiccups now while typing this out. I’ve tried the drowning down in water and holding my breath. Its not working. Trying to google different ways to cure the hics…hics…
Yay! I LOVE these colors! Thanks for sharing these great Hawaii pics! We’re having a little vacation vicariously through you! 🙂

H.
I turned 20 yesterday!

Hey Karen!
I’m dog tired…worked all day by myself. No day off for me!:(
I am so beat!
Hi Karen! I hope you enjoyed your trip.
Well, right now I’m wearing a buttery yellow sweater with a little gray dragonfly on the upper left side. Got it this weekend on sale for $10, originally $25 at Old Navy!
Karen! Girl, your blog has changed me – it made me realize I’ve been living under a rock. I’ve spent the past couple of months spending hundreds of dollars updating my beauty collection since following your website a couple of months ago. Can you get your ladies to blog the different excuses they tell their hubbies to justify or explain the addiction? I’m running out of excuses myself!!! Help me save my marriage!!! J/K LOL 🙂
Hey Karen!!
Hope you had a great day!!
Today I went with my mother for the Memorial Day sales at the local shopping mall.
I saw the cutest Coach bag, but found out it cost $400, and had to get out of Nordstroms before I stole it by accident.
I stopped at the MAC store, my mom looked at me and rolled her eyes so I couldn’t even look at the products.
I visited a couple stores, got a bath robe, PJ pants and a terricloth slipper from bath and body works….. beautiful baby pink! I LOVEEE IT!
Oh and this is allll after a play rehersal at 10 in the morning… I was so tired but I made myself keep walking.
Have you ever been to Zara? That store is absolutely amazing.
Hey Karen,
I am kind of wondering what good is the Hills without Lauren in the last episodes. Anyways, that dazzleglass looks awesome! hope ur trip is going great =D
Godnight! I’m going to bed now!
I just bought some really cute Cole Haan patent leather flats for half price. Score! 🙂
My deodorant? lol! Well, it’s Dove nectarine and ginger, and it smells super-yummy.
Who knew that Sam’s Club had some killer oversized handbags that I can double as my “new” cost saving diaper bag.

jessica c´s last blog post..Dove Go Fresh giveaway
I think I need to go shopping for clothes but makeup’s where the fun lies for me so I always seem to bypass the clothing for the makeup displays. Next time I have to convince myself to just buy sensible jeans and t-shirts.
yoyo what’s up?! happy memorial day!
Tough day with the kids (two of them were my nephews). Now I know why some animals eat their young, lol!
Oooh, good giveaway! You rock, Karen!
We miss you – come on home soon!
Happy Birthday Sally!
Definitely have to do my jogging routine this week at least or start back again next week!
P.S. Loving the giveaway Karen!!!
Deodorant’s secret =)
Happy Memorial Day!
i LOVE Ben & Jerrys Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream.. yummy! 🙂
These giveaways are a really nice idea.
Ooh, what to share, I gimped my ankle yesterday by crashing it into a bus, and today I’m walking with a limp. Hooray for klutziness!
I’ve had the shave ice at Mastsumoto’s, but my favorite comes from some place near Waikiki… ugh. What’s the name? It begins with a “W.” It’ll come to me…
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day today!
I would love to win Mac Products! I love your blog.

Becoming. Even. More. Makeup. Obsessed.
How scary!
Today I went to Mitsuwa in San Jose and finally was able to get the Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner I’ve been wanting for ages (they had a great ad campaign for it in Japan)! Have you tried it? I believe it’s supposed to be for dry hair.
Yesterday, my boyfriend left town to go back home (to Ireland) after working in California for over a year. I already miss him. :'(
I just polished off an entire large bag of Miss Vickie’s chips. I feel gross =[
All my favorite shows have ended so Monday night is pretty blah now.
I love chocolates!!
I want some MAC! I feel like a DESERVE it. Last monday I was laid off AGAIN for the second time in 6 months and then on thursday as I was on my way to pick up my daughter this jerk hit my car. AND i’m almost out of foundation, lol. Pick me!
I got engaged yesterday night!!! I am going to marry the love of my life!!!
Happy Birthday Sally! And thanks, Karen, for being such a conscientious blogger to keep us in reading material while you’ve been on vacation. 🙂
i love matsumoto shave ice!
i always get half lychee half strawberry, vanilla ice cream on the bottom and condensed milk on the top! woot woot!
too bad i live in vegas, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! 🙂
I finally found a to hide my under eye circles under concealer, and make it stay put! 😀
Love this blog, love giveaways. :]
I think I made it in right under the wire for the giveaway!
Despite being a makeup junkie, I’ve never tried MAC makeup but would love to!
Shaved ice sounds good. I get a water ice in cherry which is my favorite. Italian water ice is the best. Fresh lemon is traditional. I also love cherry.
Please enter me for the Mac giveaway. Thank you.

I’m on a self-improvement kick this summer. 😀
Oh how I miss shave ice! I had my very first one in Maui last year. Definitely gotta have it with the ice cream and azuki beans. Likiko’i sounds scrumptious! I’ll try that when I return to the 808 in the (hopefully near) future.
Hi, Karen. Love your blog!
I had a great Memorial Day, despite my boyfriend yet AGAIN not having things together and procrastinating and being late. I look forward to hearing back from Sephora today about the interview I had on friday. Hopefully, I will have a job! 🙂
P.S. I LOVE MAC!
