Aww! I wish Ryan would serve me a salad…
I’m back in the Bay, babe. Back from Vegas and Photoshop World.
The conference was fantastic. I learned a lot of stuff about photography, especially lighting, but it’s all still swirling around in my head. I need some time to let everything percolate, go over my notes, and figure out how to apply the things I learned.
I know one of the areas I want to work on is color temperature and color correction. We get lots of sunshine here in Northern California, but as sunshine is wont to do, the quality and color of it changes over the course of the day and seasons. Face shots taken at 8 a.m. have a totally different color temp than pics taken at 4 p.m., and I’m trying to get the most consistent light possible WITHOUT compromising too much on my creative freedom, because even if it means more consistent color temps, I can’t bring myself to take every pic from the same position, standing in the same spot. It’s just not my thing. I need to be able to mix things up, try different poses, wear different outfits, props, use different backdrops, let myself be inspired. It’s how I keep myself fired up and interested, and it makes blogging more fun for me.
A simple studio setup would be easier, but we don’t do things the easy way here at Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC. Nuh-uh, no, ma’am.
Anywho, I’m blabbering…

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I design and then knit my own clothes regularly. I suppose that counts as creative. 🙂
Are you on Ravelry, by chance? I’m Seward.
Hi Karen, thanks for another fab giveaway, you’re the best! My favorite TV theme song is the opening song from Game of Thrones 🙂 The boyfriend and I always hum along with it and do this little dance around the living room, haha.
Love the giveaway
I am watching television and on the internet when I should be studying! I do not have any pictures of myself lying around but of my dog and niece on my fridge!
This was a great distraction from my physics homework 🙂
my fave tv theme song is either west wing or friday night lights!
Great giveaway! Fave TV theme song is the MNF theme! 🙂
I just got Biosilk Silk therapy and I love how it leaves my hair looking and feeling.
I love cats
Thanks for the giveaway! Hands down best theme song is Full House. Love me some Uncle Jesse!
Hope you have fun in Vegas!
I know it won’t be very original but I love the theme “Friends” song. As far as concealers I really like the Maybelline Age Rweind under eye concealer, the packaging leaves much to be desired but I think the product itself does an excellent job of covering dark circles. Happy weekend (at home :))
I subscribe to Allure…..Love it!!!
My favorite TV theme songs are from Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars (only seasons 1 and 2, once they slowed it down in 3, it sucked) and Golden Girls.
I like ELF’s Maximum Coverage concealer when it comes to inexpensive concealers.
I made a a part of the design of my website.
Hi Karen! I subscribe to Lucky, Allure and Vanity Fair magazines. I also read your blog every day. Because of you my makeup collection has grown exponentially!
I don’t subscribe to any magazines! Just read too many blogs, haha :).
I love revlon photoready!
Favorite TV theme music is Midsomer Murders.
I wish I knew more about photography, web design and whatnot but it definitely always seems to take a back seat to life 🙁
Your blog is a lifesaver for a Filipino girl starting to learn about makeup. Finding the right shades for my skin has been difficult without it!
I know a few full time makeup artists, but none that are full time freelancers. Most of them teach, or work for Sephora or MAC
I’ve been watching Law & Order Special Victims Unit non stop! with YT videos in between of course!
I desperately want to go in both a hot air balloon and skydiving, but not yet!
best theme song ever? growing pains, without a doubt.
Those questions you provided are fun. I feel really creative when I edit my Youtube videos, but the most creative thing I’ve ever done is in my work as a recipe developer. I created 101 recipes for a cookbook I was hired to ghostwrite. I hope I win!
I think makeup from the 50s is so inspiring!
I haven’t bought a magazine in years, I have everything for free online!
I have decided it’s time to start pushing myself and do the things that I keep putting off or scare me. I have been wanting to kayak for years but this past summer I finally started doing it and love it! My goal is to become a strong enough kayaker to go out in the open ocean in Ucluelet to kayak and camp on the islands off the coast. Now, I just need to work on that irrational fear that a whale will swallow me whole or an angry 27 armed octopus with razor fangs will attack and dismember me…*sigh*
i don’t know my favorite tv show theme song, must be like star trek’s theme song?
I do actually have pictures of myself on the walls at home, but they are not new/recent pictures. I have a couple from when I was a baby/toddler and then a couple from my early 20s with my older two children.
I only have one picture of my husband and I from when we first started dating on our walls… been meaning to replace it with a picture of the kids lol.
Friends will always be a classic theme song to me, but I also really like the Doctor Who theme and Downton Abbey’s.
I love all the Real Housewives shows!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I subscribe to US Weekly. I got a free subscription.
I would highly recommend Orange is the New Black!
Ive never gone sky diving but I would love to do it one day
Yes, i do have pictures with me, not exactly on the walls though :))
But i like to frame one picture from every vacation i went:)
I have subscriptions to Allure, Glamour, and Cosmo but Cosmo is about to expire
Went to Sephora last night its so much fun looking at everything! I subscribe to Cosmo, looking into Allure. =)
Ooh, I think it’s pretty cool that I’m not the first knitter to comment. Knitting is probably my most creative pursuit (but I used to make jewelry in the pre-knitting days).
I subscribe to Nylon magazine, I like the stories they write about a lot. Thanks for the giveaway! 😀
I’m kinda shy to pose for a picture 🙂
I have a friend who does design for Aveda – I am always so jealous of her!
My FAVORITE TV themes right now – CONSTANTLY in my head (and also my ringtone at the moment) 1 – the theme for Downton Abbey, 2 – The theme for The Only Way is Essex and 3 – The Walking Dead. I always fall in love with music from movies & TV. It’s pretty much the only way I discover new music.
I subscribe to a lot of magazines, my favorites are InStyle, Allure and Vogue.
My favorite TV theme song? Big Bang Theory I think! or CSI NY perhaps.
Is it bad if I don’t even remember what magazines I’m subscribed to…
I subscribe to Seventeen and Cosmo
OK im not in the mood to get creative…so i’m going to with saying that thebalm’s foundation works great for me as a concealer!
I subscribe to too many magazines!
My favorite tv theme song is from House.
I recently found Essie’s As Gold As It Gets for like $3 on clearance! I was stoked :>
I am a full time visual artist who also works as an instructor and odd job gal on the side…and beauty blogger too!
Thank you for your awesome giveaways and the helpful tips you share everyday Karen!
My favorite TV theme songs are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the A-Team and Twin Peaks. Not sure that I like them but they do end up stuck in my head a lot!
October must hurry up. I can’t wait to pop. This heat is killing me. Karen love your blog <3
I like the Maybelline Fit Me concealer
I really want to go to Sephora and get a couple more of the Urban Decay lipsticks
I subscribe to Glamour.
Best TV theme song? well, “fame” “cheers”, “Friends”…AND MUCH MORE…
I love magazines. Can’t get enough. I like to read them, tear them up, cut out pictures, make dream boards, collages, and recycle them.
My favorite TV theme song is from FRIENDS!
I subscribe to Cosmo, Allue, and Elle magazines! i love them
One day I just started getting Glamour in my mailbox and it hasn’t stopped despite my never having actually subscribed to it. I think my mom did it.
Some very good inexpensive concealers I’ve tried are..
Maybelline Superstay (for acne)
Maybelline Age Rewind (the original for dark circles)
I can’t use these bc I’m allergic to something in them but these are pigmented with a superior formulation. I seriously wish some higher-end brands work as well as these.
I also heard that a lot of people like Hard Candy concealers but I’ve never tried myself.
Now That I’m 50…I Want To Create A Bucket list.
I think I might have a makeup addiction because I just hit VIB rouge.
I wish Gerard Butler, Daniel Craig and Channing Tatum would serve me salads… Yes, I will eat the three salads! 🙂
I know a full-time artist–my boyfriend is one! He is studying Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music here in Boston 🙂
I’m so glad you had a good time at your conference, Karen! I love to feeling of just getting home from a conference, being so inspired and motivated.
The intro song to Game of Thrones. Best intro ever!!
My favorite theme songs are from “Taxi” and “WKRP”
hope you enjoyed Vegas! it wasn’t tooooooo hot this past week
I never went skydiving, I would love to try but I feel that I would chicken out! Btw, would love to win a sephora gift card with Ryan Gosling delivering it to me ðŸ˜
I’ve never been skydiving or hot air ballooning but I have been parasailing!
I subscribe to Allure and Marie Claire.
I’ve been learning a lot about nonviolent communication, vulnerability, and mediation. Interesting stuff!
i’ve never gone skydiving or any other extreme sport
my favorite tv theme song is from growing pains 🙂 i even have it on my ipod!
I’d love to go shopping at Sephora!!
I still have yet to finish reading the Vogue and InStyle September issues…
I have been loving your my beauty life series
Thank you and happy weekend!
I don’t know any full-time artists, but I do have an interest in photography and my new(ish) roommate is a photographer as well that works professionally on a part-time basis. She is encouraging me to pick up my camera again.
I don’t know any artist, but I’d love to know a writer!!! I think seeing him/her writing, getting inspiration, organizing ideas in a unique way and also having the privilege of reading his work as it grows, would be an extremely fascinating experience ^-^
Whenever I have to take I plane I buy absolutelly all kinds of magazines: fashion, science, deco, 🙂 but I don’t subscribe to anything…
I need to, badly, try a new skin care line. Sephora is the place to go!
I guess my all time theme song is from the cartoon Invader zim. it is my ringtone for years.
Speaking of magazines, the online-only ones dedicated to design are so lovely! Lonny and Rue are two amazing ones. What are your daily reads?
My fave themesong is Sanford and Son!!!!
I have more magazine subscriptions than I care to admit.
I just Back 2 Mac’d a bunch of lip products for my very first MAC eyeshadows. I think it’s taken me so long because I usually just get eyeshadow palettes from other higher-end brands since they tend to be more cost-effective.
I discovered and fell in love with your blog while researching beauty blogs when I decided to start my own Mother/Daughter beauty blog with my teen-aged daughter. We are just getting started and are so excited. Wish us luck!
I was so much more creative as a kid- I’m too lazy now:)
I’m reading a book I heard about on NPR, Subversives & its depressingly good.
Bored to death = great TV theme song
I have flown in a hot air balloon and gone bungee jumping but not skydiving (yet!). I think the opening sequence of True Blood is one of the best things ever made. The show for me has gotten bad but that opening is still captivating. The song plus the gritty-sleazy-strange-holy-hilarious portrayal of the deep south is genius.
I’m currently digging the Audrey Hepburn look, and I’m listening to “Moon River” at the moment.
Thanks
I subscribe to Lucky magazine:)
Happy Saturday!
I subscribe to approximately 4,827 magazines (no, really more like 15, but that’s still a huge amount!)
That Ryan Gosling serving a ‘Sephora GC salad’ pic just MADE MY DAY.
I think my favorite TV theme song is stuck between, uh, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Friends. Both of them are so iconic! (and now they’re stuck in my head)
I’ve always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon, I’d definitely do it sometime in the future.
I realized that alot of my friends from high school have become make-up artists. Some for the stars via television, shows etc
I’d get new eyeshadow.
Thanks for this great giveaway, Karen!
My current favorite TV show theme song is from a show I recently started, Orange is The New Black. The theme song is “You’ve Got Time” by Regina Spektor.
I don’t subscribe to magazines. I think they’re pointless. I read them once and then don’t look at it again.
Happy Saturday Karen! A good inexpensive concealer I like is the Cover Girl/Olay one, it’s very moisturizing & it does cover my circles well. I do not have any pics of myself on my wall, just a couple of small ones in frames I gave to my hubby. I subscribe to quite a few magazines: allure, People Style Watch, Better Homes & Gardens, Self, Lucky & Rachael Ray. I know it’s a lot but a couple of them came free with shoe orders lol
I think your pictures are already always fantastic!
I know a few full-time artists and I love them dearly!
I love Dexter’s theme!!It’s s quirky!
Not many pics of me around but lots of my godkids 🙂
I’m getting excited already for the holiday collections!!
The only drug store concealer I own is actually a corrector–Covergirl/Olay simply ageless. It is a yellow color and was about $6.99 for me. My current favorite is Clinique Airbrush Concealer. I consider it fairly inexpensive because it is under $20. I really should try to find a cheaper one though….but I just find my current one so trusty. 😉
My favorite tv is theme song is from a cartoon actually, Spongebob lol. I’ve always thought being in a hot air ballon would be cool and a good date!
My favorite tv show is Psych! So funny!
I’m thinking that the Walker Texas Ranger theme song is the most awesome ever!!
aloha
I’m starting to pursue my love to do makeup & blogger. Your an inspiration!!
Favorite TV theme song? Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
The Friends theme song is my favorite!
Is it possible to die of being honored by somebody’s words?
I should be working on a research project for school but I always get drawn into make-up blogs instead!
Hi Karen, thanks for the giveaway. Loved your post about Guerlain’s new mascara. I just got it myself and I love it. Merci!
Happy Saturday!
hello!
My best friend from childhood is a full time gigging musician. It seems like last week that we were going to music lessons together.
Buffy has the best theme song
I know a few full-time artists – both in California and New York.
Autumn is in the air…football and fall makeup!
I made a few of my son’s Halloween costumes. The best one was Thomas the Tank Engine.
My favourite tv theme song used to be Buffy the Vanpire slayer, the version with Sarah Michelle Geller. It’s really old now but it just reminds me of my childhood, as strange as that sounds! Happy memories 😀
Mmm, Ryan Gosling can especially serve me THAT salad. My favorite TV theme song, by a long shot, is Gilligan’s Island! I used to watch it on Nick at Nite ALL the time when I was younger. I still find myself singing it every now & then.
Boy is it HOT, HOT, HOT today!!!!
The old Growing Pains theme song was some rockin adult contemporary.
I subscribe to Rolling Stone. Love that mag, though over the years it has gotten smaller and smaller….
I need to clean and sort the kitchen cupboards.
And I don’t want to!
I love magazines but needed to cut down on the number of subscriptions I had(it was getting out of control!). Right now, I get InStyle, Cooking Light, and Women’s Health.
I love the Hawaii 5-0 theme song 🙂
I cleaned out my flower bed today. Hard work, but it looks great! Even added some mulch and lantana to brighten it up and refresh it. Would love to win the gift card as I need a makeup refresher for fall.
I had the opportunity to fly in a hot air balloon when I attended a local balloon festival several years ago. At the time, I was about 8 years old. My mother and I went up in the balloon with several other people. We were part of a competition where we were supposed to drop a sandbag on a target and then go back to the takeoff point. Unfortunately, the day we went up in the air was plagued with heavy winds. We were stuck in the air for about 6 hours. The balloon hit branches and came close to power lines. It was nightfall before we got down! The only way we could land the balloon was to hit the roof of a house and have the people inside grab the ropes and pull us down. Luckily they knew about the situation and were watching for us. I can definitely say that I will NEVER take another balloon ride.
I am working!
I subscribe to a few magazines: InStyle is always on the list, Marie Claire, Lucky (came free with a Sephora order), and Cooking Light.
I always liked the theme to MASH. With or without words
Oooh,how yummy (and the salad looks good,too! ;)Thanks for the giveaway!!
I love magazines (and I wish I had more time to read them)! Right now, I have subscriptions to InStyle, Lucky, Allure (all thanks to a rewards program), Time Out New York, and Everyday with Rachael Ray. I also have a digital subscription to Newsweek.
I love giveaways~!
Went shopping today and got some cute things for fall, now the temps just need to drop:)
My fav and very very very inexpensive concealer is : CoverGirl’s Invisible Concealer
I have been using it for over 20 years!
The most creative thing I’ve done (other than macguyver some crazy contraptions) was make my own hemp jewelry with various colored string and different assortments of beads. I even got to sell some of Kate’s Kreations at the tanning salon I worked at for a spell.
Spent the weekend at a sheep and wool show, I knit so it was fun, and I bought some beautiful yarn. I also took advantage of the local CCO and fed my blush addiction.
I used to be into art when I was younger. I took a few art classes in high school. After that the creativity kind of stopped but I’m more creative these days with eye shadow colors
my sister is an artist and i’m the musical one. yay for talent!
I have a very artistic group of friends and I like that very much. Here in Venezuela, it’s a very hard road to take, the artistic one, but all of my friends are so into it it is rather inspiring. I am the only one who loves to apply makeup but all the girls love to have it applied to them. We have writers, designers, film-makers, photographers… everything. I love that.
I subscribe to every magazine I can get. If you go to recyclebank.com, it is easy and helpful to the earth to earn free mags. I always recycle, or upcycle my magazines after, by donating them to a local charity that sells them for $$ for a food pantry.
I love to crochet!! I love the Mac prolongwear concealer!!
I have wedding photos hung on the wall
I recently subscribed to Lucky! I really like their new editor, Eva Chen.
Have a good day!
I am in New York right now for the first time and it is so incredible here!! I’ve also been thinking of starting a blog…but I’m just not sure who’d read it.
The theme song from Happy Days makes me feel so happy =] yeah i know cheesy.
my kind of salad!
I can “rap” out the theme song to fresh prince of Bel air even though I haven’t seen that show since the 90s.
The maybelline corrector-concealer has really good coverage but it does crease. it’s a good buy for the price though.
I’ve always wanted to go in a hot-air balloon, but I never have!
Hmmm. My sister’s husband is a trapeze artiste. That’s about it, other than Walter Cronkite, with whom my mother worked early in her career, and I once had the honor to meet.
I will never go in a hot-air balloon, nor will I ever do anything involving a parachute. I have a debilitating fear of heights. After many trips to NYC, my SO convinced to go up the Empire State Building. Big mistake. After walking, taking various elevators, more walking, more elevators, we got to the top. I freaked out, wouldn’t go outside, and had to get out of that building as soon as possible. Hated it!!
By the way Karen, that pic of you outside Saks with the white bag, totally ROCKS! Yes, I know it is shopped, but you are a Movie Star!!! LOve it!
Jennifer (Me thinks TABS would like a similar SAKS pic.)
Looking for a new cream foundation with healthier ingredients!
The Coastal Scents Camo Quad is great for blemishes, and super cheap!
I’ve never gone skydiving or been in a hot air balloon but I would totally do it if I had the chance!
THE BEST cheap concealer is L’oreal TruMatch!
I’m not sure about an inexpensive concealer, but I love Givenchy Mister Light Tarte’s Maracuja concealer is pretty sweet too!
Looking forward to my SUnday!
My favorite tv song would have to be the “Welcome back Kotter” intro theme. It’s so sweet and nostalgic.
I haven’t found a cheap concealer that works well! I use NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer – I find it’s worth the price, because it conceals undereye darkness SO well, unlike any other product I’ve tried – and I’ve tried every one in the drugstore.
I’ve been switching all my magazine subscriptions over to digital since i never have enough time to read th ones stacking up.
My favorite tv theme song has to be Friends!
My favorite tv show theme song has to be Friends!
Awesome giveaway!
My birthday’s coming up this week, so this would be an awesome addition to my birthday presents! 😉
That picture of Ryan Gosling is the best!
I have a blister on my foot from a cute pair of shoes. I need to find out how to prevent it.
karen! so glad you’re back from sin city! looks like you had a grand ol’ time! i’ll have to hit up mandalay, just to try the plantains! nom nom nom!
thanks for another giveaway! spent the day shopping with my mom, while i’m still in the lovely nor*cal <3 got a few cool basics! hela thought of you as i browsed accessories. i still have to hit up an anthro to check out the jewelry. 🙂
have a lovely weekend!!!!!
I find L’Oreal’s Magique Touche to be a very good and inexpensive concealer
I think my favorite TV show theme is probably the one from Chuck (Cake “Short Skirt/Long Jacket).
just found your blog looking for guerlain terra ora! love your review style and now reading all of your posts!
I’m sleepy
My favorite inexpensive concealer is definitely the la girl pro concealer, they have such an awesome shade range and the formula is incredible.
I’d say my fave TV theme song is Cue The Pulse from Queer as Folk, because my husband directed the music video :>
Spongebob Squarepants and the Fairy Oddparents are my Favorite Theme Songs…..Is That Weird? I hope Not.
Ahh Ryan is so dreamy… 😉
I made oatmeal-nut-cranberry cookies without a recipe last weekend! That’s about as creative as I get.
I went shopping today
I subscribe to Allure
The Big Bang Theory is my favorite TV theme song.
I love the Sons of Anarchy theme song, as well as the Justified theme song.
Hey, I’m a full-time artist! I do scientific illustration! Science is awesome!
I wish I could buy another scratcher right now!
Haven’t been at Sephora in awhile, this would be great!
I’ve been including autumnal colors into my make up.
I have no pictures of myself on my walls but my kids are everywhere!
i like to watch the sunrise when i go running in the morning.
i like to go running against the backdrop of the sunrise.
Prattle blah blah I’m a gradient vector geek who raids sephora too often!
Currently I’m subscribed to photography magazine. Enjoy your weekend!
I have all kinds of canning to do while my garden is producing so much, but DANG it has been too hot!
Oh my god, Ryan…Karen, you just made my morning! 🙂
Yeah!
I haven’t tried skydiving but it’s in my bucket list of extreme sports! Others in the list are bungee diving, anicycling, zipline, parasailing, flying fish boat and a lot others.
Ooooh interesting questions! I sporadically make jewellery and the only magazines I subscribe to relate to that but they are all on my iPad through Newsstand or Zinio.
I subscribe to Taste of Home and Women’s Health right now. I think some of the best theme songs came from previous eras. Although their are some good ones now. They seem to put more work into tv themes songs then than they do now.
love sephora and your blog, thanks for the giveaway!
Went to Sephora today and swatched Urban Decay’s new lipstick line. Totally fell in love with Catfight, which is such an ironic name. Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I love the theme to Duck Tails. 🙂
I’ve been loving L’Oreal’s True Match Crayon Concealer all summer. I have others, but this one has been the easiest and quickest one to reach for.
Now you have me thinking about TV show themes! Coming up with a favorite requires some thinking. Six Feet Under comes to mind.
Hello!
I’ve been loving the Collection 2000 Concealer since a while. I love NARS creamy radiant concealer too, but this is really expensive!
Kisses from France
I have never been skydiving and probably never will go. I don’t enjoy that dropping feeling. Plus, I have quite the fear of heights.
The new Sephora and Pantone eyeshadow palette looks pretty interesting!
Hope i win! 🙂 *fingers crossed*
it’s already sunday… i’m already looking forward to next weekend!
I want to start DIYing jewelry!
I model so I’ve met some fulltime makeup artists, yes. What a sweet gig!
My brother is a full-time musician and I’m really proud of him!
First blog today and RG!!!!!!!1 Awsome begginning!!!!!!!!!! hahaha
I get so happy when I hear the Doctor Who theme song as well as the sounds coming from a traveling Tardis. Everyone has a fandom, I suppose.
My absolute favorite inexpensive concealer is the NYX HD concealer I use the shades glow for summer months and fair for winter months they are so beautiful and cover better than the MAC prolong wear in my opinion! Love it
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!
The cheapest and best concealer I have used are the Inglot ones. Each refill pan costs INR 250 (that’s $5 approx).
I subscribe to cosmo magazine! I think the most creative things I do pertain to all things beauty. i’m always trying at home recipes, new hair styles, and different makeup tips. I love finding new tutorials and trying them out! Nothing better than trying something new and then getting compliments!
Hi Karen and Tabs! Thanks for this weekly giveaway, I’ve entered almost every weekend since I’ve started reading your blog! I hope to win one of these days lol!! Love you guys!
I love fall! It is my favorite season 🙂
How fun! I’m a photographer if you have any color questions 😉 Thanx for doing the give away!
My favorite inexpensive concealer is Une’s (by Bourjois) Skin Glow Pencil. Tiny, but amazing, although unfortunately not available in North America 🙁
since its been getting cooler i’ve started drinking a lot of chai tea. i’m super excited for nice fall weather and fun fall activities!
I LOVE the gilmore girls theme
Favorite TV theme song has to be the original Hawaii 5-0 theme
He could serve me anything anytime
I just got back from a Caribbean vacation. I’m tanned and covered with big bites, but it was fun and I’m glad to be back home.
I know a couple full time makeup artists. I hope to be one, eventually. Gotta finish college first, then I can focus on what I want to do. :]
I’ve been searching for months and I am having the hardest time finding the perfect vanity.
You have to love northern California though 🙂
My favorite theme song is C’Mon C’Mon by the Von Bondies from the series Rescue Me.
Tabs, The Coolest Cat on the Block, will agree with me that the grooviest TV them songs ever include the themes from Route 66, Perry Mason, Hawaii Five-O, Peter Gunn, Mod Squad, Green Hornet, The Man From Uncle and last but not least Dark Shadows…which I would run home from school everyday to watch. Good Times.
I like Almay’s concealers.
While I wouldn’t call us “friends” in a traditional sense, my hairdresser is one of my favorite people! Her skill set; cutting, color, styling, is truly an art form. I don’t think hair dressers and make up artists are appreciated or get the respect that they deserve for the skill and artistic eye and sense of vision that is required of them to do their job. It’s a horrible shame. I have tremendous respect for what they do.
My favorite drugstore concealer is Revlon Photoready 🙂
Yes, I have pictures of myself on my walls at home (not alone though, with other family members!!). Yes, I subscribe to lots of magazines, People, People StyleWatch, Glamour, Entertainment Weekly. My sister also subscribes to lots – Vogue, Bazaar, Elle, etc. We trade when we are done! 🙂
My favorite TV theme song is The Flintstones because I sang it with my nieces and nephews yesterday. I think it’s the only one we all know.
Is it too cheesy to say that my favorite TV theme song still is Friends’ “I’ll be there for you”?
So I just watched Pitch Perfect and I totally love it! Watched it 2 times and will watch again! 🙂
My favorite TV theme song is definitely Pretty Little Liar’s “Secret”
Just started playing Bastion. Favorite soundtrack to a game in a long long time – “Kid puts on her headphones…takes a listen for a while.”
My favorite theme songs are from cartoons like animaniacs and tiny toons.
I really want to try the Josie Maran matchmaker foundation.
Love the MAC Pro concealer palette (not cheap of course though)
Thanks so much for posting the giveaway!!
I love the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song.
my favorite inexpensive concealer is hard candy. its only 3 dollars (!!!) and covers everrryythinnngg.
I just discovered the Maybelline Fit Me concealer and it is so great! It reminds me of a slightly more liquid-y version of the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, which is my HG.
I love the theme song for Shameless!
ryan gosling!!
So… root beer floats. They’re an intermittent craving of mine. Some years ago, this craving fell so conveniently in the middle of a high school art project. I made a massive Claus Oldenburg style 4ft tall sculpture of, yes, a root beer float. It’s sitting in storage waiting for its day to shine but I haven’t a place to put it yet. >//<
Hope to win! My favorite tv show theme is to Friday Night Lights…always gives me chills and inspires me when I watch it! LOVE THAT SHOW!
I am subscribed to mostly fashion mags like Elle, Bazaar, and teenvogue!
Thanks for the giveaway! I subscribe to about 20 magazines. It’s crazy, I know. They’re piling up!
Currently going through a Supernatural marathon…Karen, I think Jensen Ackles should take Ryan’s place!
I am obsessed with Top Chef. So many excellent chefs and ideas!
My favourite tv show theme song is definitely buffy the vampire slayer’s theme!
I subscribe to InStyle magazine. I hope to win your weekly contest one day. Sephora is calling my name….
LOVE the theme to the Jeffersons!!!
The only magazine I subscribe to, is Allure. I have been reading it for so long. It’s a great magazine for the beauty obsessed!! Thanks for another giveaway…you are a generous soul!!
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
I subscribe to Allure magazine
hi karen! thank you for the lighting post!
Fresh Prince of Bel Air!
Tired of the hot weather, my makeup melts
I love gummy bears!
The theme song to Curb Your Enthusiasm makes me insanely happy because I know I’ll get to laugh for the next half hour.
My favorite TV theme song would be the jeopardy song!!!
Randomness: I have more than 120 cards to put together into a 60 card magic the gathering deck. Guh! First world problems 😛
Something on my bucket list I want to share is: I want to go bungee jumping
awww that’s awesome! 🙂
My grandmother is a full time artist, mostly watercolour. She is starting into using oils and would love her to do more of those as well. 🙂
HEY HEY!! That’s my man. Ryan Gosling has been my man since he rowed and fixed a house right into my heart!
It’s time to compete for his love!
Fave TV theme song…this is so embarrassing. Actually, no it’s not-I have no shame!
DUCK TALES!!! Life is like a hurricane, here in Duck-burg…
So yeppers I decided to skydive because the really cute doctor I work with and been flirting with challenged my butt. Sigh! And don’t you know I hate heights passionately. I had to literally be thrown out, leaving behind a few nails in the process. Guess what? Never will I compromise myself for a cute man, but at least I can say I skydived LOL!
I wish I was a full-time artist…
I don’t know any makeup artist on a personal level but I hope to become one myself<3
Fall is in the air for sure in my area.
I constantly watch makeup videos on Youtube!! I LOVE makeup tutorials!!
i’m so beyond excited about holiday makeup sets. A sephora associate told me that there was alot of competition this year between makeup companies to have the best holiday set.
I’m obsessed with Pretty Little Liars. It’s my favorite TV show and I can’t stop watching it! It’s becoming a problem LOL
I wish Ryan Gosling would do a lot of things for me. Especially restore a snazzy Southern plantation on the water. Hmm. Should add a beauty bite in here right? I just went to Sephora and grabbed the new NARS Radiant Cream Foundation and I LURVE it!! And I finally used my beauty points. All 800 of them. Grabbed the 500 Tarte perk, 2 NARS eye primers for 200 points, and 1 Tarte Lights, Camera Flashes mascara!
I guess a good concealer would be Maybelline’s Age Rewind Undereye Eraser. I haven’t really found a drugstore concealer that wows me. I guess I’m really not looking to be honest. I enjoy my Prolong Wear Concealer.
I feel the most creative when I have found a beautiful location to practice my (amateur) photographt skills 🙂
My favorite inexpensive concealer is Maybelline’s age rewind. I first bought it because Dita VonTeese recommended it over twitter and of course, it worked amazingly. It is my go-to concealer, it completely covers any imperfections, I love it!
I’ve become obsessed with spray painting my cheap craigs list/IKEA furniture in fun colors – metallic gold, bright pink, aqua blue, and it is like putting make up all over my apartment.
I was once subscribed to Seventeen Magazine. I loved it! Then someone at our post office started stealign our magazines.. ratchet mess I know. When we checked with 17 they were shipped and everything, but we never received any. So we cancelled the subscription. 🙁
The Best Inexpensive concealer I’ve ever tried has been the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer because it’s hydrating, doesn’t crease and blends like a dream I’ve tried high-end concealers too and while this one is not a full coverage concealer it covers enough for me without looking cakey.
I subscribed to people magazine
I actually enjoy my L’Oreal True Match Concealer Crayon. It costs about $9 and does a good job of blending in my imperfections.
my favorite tv theme song is step by step’s theme song haha so catchy
My favourite TV theme song is The Golden Girls theme song, so sweet
I love the Facts of Life theme song, but I hear the Imagination Movers song a lot more!
I do have a picture of me with a group of friends and another with my husband and me on my walls. None of just me, though!
Thanks!
I’ve been in a hot air balloon! It was an amazing experience.
I’m subscribed to two Magazines! Allure USA and Glamour Germany. When the Allure subsription ends at the end of this year I want to get Elle USA which is one of the best magazines out there IMO.
My passion is cooking/then dancing and then makeup
I love those prizes!!!! 🙂 thankssss
I subscribe to: Allure & Marie Claire My feelings toward Allure are similar to the ones Carries has towards Vogue. Oh and yes I have a stash.
At the library I read: Bust (it’s a new wave feminist magazine I swear) and sometimes I’ll pick up Glamour, Instyle, Real Simple, Vogue, and Vanity Fair if they catch my eye.
At Barnes & Noble I read: Nylon, the British magazines which are amazing, and the art magazines which are awesome.
Ryan can serve me anything he wants!
I don’t know any artists except myself being an aspiring MUA
Yes! During the hot air balloon festival at Clark! 🙂
Hi there! That is so exciting about your trip to Vegas. It’s been insane and I’m just getting a chance to catch up on posts. I can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to! 🙂 Oh, and I totally agree. I like your varied shots and think they’re perfect for your style. Somehow, having consistency sounds a little boring. HAHA!
My favorite artist that I know well is Steve Blaze from Lillian Axe (old hair band). They still play and he is great.
I do have pics of myself on the wall but only in family pictures
I used to subscribe to pleny of magazines but for some reason the only one I get right now is Family fun.
Priming and painting my new desk!
Love Sephora!
I think I have ESPN or something ;0)
I only get Nylon, but I’d love to subscribe to a few more.
Yay for a giveaway!
I love anime, but I have to watch it in Japanese. There is something about English voices being dubbed over it that really gets to me.
How cute are some anime characters!
I’d have to go with Cheers for the best theme song.
Thanks for the giveaway!:)
I went to Las Vegas for the first time. I wish I stayed longer though there is so much to do there.
I woulf get Naked 2! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! I just obsessed with glee and modern family. Everything about them.
Happy Monday to all! I hope Everyone has a great productive week!
Your blog e-mails brighten my day and give me something fun to look forward to 🙂
My creative accomplishments are a scattershot variety! I’ve had short stories published, made my own clothes and jewelry, built furniture from scratch, painted pictures (badly). Right now I’m designing the website for my new business. Go me, I guess?
Thank you for the giveaway!
I love to cook, trying and altering recipes, completely making up your way as you cook, it’s awesome!
I subscribe to InStyle and Self, but I’d much rather read your blog any day! I love it! (I also love Sephora, so I’d be super excited to win a gift card to buy some of the products you recommend…The Hourglass Visionaire eyeshadow duo in Prism was my latest purchase, thanks to your recommendation!)
Boi-ing from benefit isn’t too expensive and works well.
I love the Hawaii 5-0 theme song, such a classic. I would love to visit there someday 🙂
Magazine that I subscribe to are Glamour and Self
Hey Karen and Tabs.
My favorite theme song would be, omg there’s so many, The Mindy project theme song gets me all pumped up. And it prepares me to laugh..Otherwise there is the classic O.C California song ..
The most artistic thing I did was my short movie in cinema school go watch it 😛

Thanks xx Myriam
I still love my snail slime CC Cream!
I’m getting obsessed with red lipsticks again, after 2 months of rehab! And plums too! It is probably the Fall effect plus all the lipstick reviews here (hur hur), but it is definitely the time to indulge in all the rich, gorgeous jewel toned lipsticks! They make me really happy on a grey and cold day. =)
My favorite books are the Harry potter series!!
I have a free subscription to Latina magazine.
Thanks for all the photoshop posts Karen!Happy week ahead!
I am enjoying the excitement of NYFW!
I went skydiving in Kauai last year. It was phenomenal. The Na ‘Pali coast and falling at 120mph. was exhilarating to say the least 🙂
Wooo, another giveaway!!?? You da bomb, Karen and Tabs! My favorite tv show theme song is, admittedly, the one from Baywatch. Even though it has been off the air for years and years, I have it in my iTunes and love the summery vibe. I have a friend who is a very talented artist, and she does painting, studio art, that type of thing. She’s incredible!
Game of thrones title track has to be my fav. loved it so much that now I have a Ramin Djawadi channel on my iheartradio 🙂
I’m a foundation and lipstick junkie. As for concealers, I’m gonna try Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-place concealer. I’m loving that range of foundies at the moment
I have too many lip glosses. Need blushes for travel. 🙂
Sailor Moon opening “Moonlight Densetsu” 😀
I have too many hobbies, and just acquired bead embroidery as another one. Oh, and more beads. I needed 15/0’s for a project.
I am the least creative person I know. I love to use eyeshadows and liners but I have to look on Instagram to copy other people’s looks. I’m so bad that a lot of times I’ll go buy what whatever products they’re using because I’m not creative enough to use sibstitutes. I’m trying to work on this because it’s getting $$
I am still trying to master a subtle smokey eye. I always end up looking like I have a bruise 🙁
My favorite show theme song is a scary one. It’s from American Horror Story. Creepy but I can’t quite cover my ears when I hear it.
I just discovered your blog (via The Beauty Look Book)and love it! I read an old post about packing tips; please tell me the suitcase you use, I’d like to get one too! Thx!
Oh! I’ve flown in a hot air balloon. I was in Turkey in an area called Cappadocia that’s pretty popular for hot air ballooning.
I love the Arrested Development theme song, and by extension, the theme for Bob’s Burgers (as it sounds so similar). AD just makes me happy. And I can’t help but sing along to the Big Bang Theory theme song.
perfume shopping is so time-consuming…
Quick Tip: For my under eye circles, in place of the Bobbi Brown peach corrector, I use a drugstore cream blush in a similar shade and use my NARS creamy concealer on top. Works wonders and is easy on the purse!
There is huge picture of my husband, me AND our pup. We are dog people.
creative? does writing harry potter fanfiction or editing asian drama fanvids count?
I love the theme song to Golden Girls and don’t care who knows it!
I kind of adore that I currently work as a Beauty Advisor at Walgreens. Getting to put on makeup everyday I work the beauty counter and not having to worry about whether something is day- or work-safe is great fun. Plus getting to see all of the limited edition collections before everybody else (and getting to snatch a few things to buy before everyone else, I’ll admit it.) is pretty brilliant, especially when I get to buy them with my employee discount. But, perhaps the nicest thing is when you get pulled into the office to have a manager say that he wants you to know that if anyone gives you trouble because you’re a guy wearing makeup, be it a customer or even a co-worker, that they are there for me and they will not accept people harassing me about such. That they will stand up for me and that I should feel comfortable wearing makeup whenever I like. I think that’s pretty wonderful. 🙂
Oh my goodness- Ryan Gosling… Totally swoon-worthy pic- I love it!!
I’m currently addicted to Sons of Anarchy. .like I didn’t leave the house yesterday addicted.
I get Elle and Vogue
woooooooooo contests!
I’ve gone skydiving and it was INCREDIBLE
Favorite TV theme song is definitely Gilligans Island!
Allure Magazine is my favorite magazine ever. Need to renew it soon.
My name is Rina but my spell check wants my name to be Tina or Dina. Ah life before texting…. You could be yourself 😉
Oh, thanks for reminding me I need to finish decorating my room…
ya know, channing tatum is cuter than ryan gosling. just my 2 cents!
I subscribe to more magazines than I actually read — but it’s all for a good cause — the kids’ schools get 50% of the proceeds.
Favourite TV theme is probably going to be Star Trek TNG. Also, I feel that I’m most creative crocheting scarves, but only when they’re circular.
