“Wait — but who’s bringing the folding chairs?!”
Gah!
Holiday stress. Yep, it’s that time of year. It’s hard enough trying to balance your regular workload while attending to your feline/canine/human teenage, infant or adolescent overlord’s needs, but then you throw Thanksgiving preparations on top of that, and stress levels go ballistic!
What’s a guy or girl to do?
Well, there’s herbal tea… 🙂
But tea is only marginally helpful.
In my case, I also turn to TV, chocolate and makeup, preferably all at the same time, LOL!
Welcome to another weekend, friend. I hope you’re hanging in there. Tabs, El Hub and I are doing our best.
Oh, I ended up liking that movie I watched last night, Your Sister’s Sister. I can’t believe the main dude in it is Mark Duplass from The League (it also stars Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt). I thought it was a little emotionally twisted, but not too bad. I liked it (although I wanted more from the ending).
In other news, it’s Sephora eGift card giveaway time! — and it only takes a comment to enter (full details down below).
Good luck! And may the fierce force be with you. 🙂
What folks are saying…
“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night! :)”
-Zharlynne“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

Luckily no snow yet where I live!
Will try to score some deals this weekend, Black Friday should be fun but would not subject my baby to all the craziness, happy weekend Karen!
Santa please get me the Laura Mercier illuminating bronzer for Christmas.
I can’t wait for Monday
Had snow last week, just a bit. Today, tons of rain.
I love snow, I wish it would start snowing here. Everything looks white and clean and glittery. Oh, and I love my hazel eyecolor 🙂
thanks for the giveaway
Karen, you’re a total babe!
Fav TV actress? Mariska Harrgitay from Law and Order SVU. Apologies for the misspelling of her name. Although Jessica Lange is freaking me out on American Horrir Story Asylum and it takes a lot to freak me out!
My favorite and most used brush would be the Sonia Kashuk Synthetic Flat Top Multipurpose. So soft!!
Still enjoying “leftover” Halloween candy!
Absolutely no snow yet here on NC, we only had 1 sad sad snow day last year! I love winter weather and we don’t get enough, it Soo irks me when he weather men talk about rain and snow as if its a bad thing. 🙁
Claire Danes, easily! What a great show Homeland is.
I really would love green eyes…
I use my angled eyeliner brush the most.
I dont think I would ever change my eye color! Brown eyes work for me.
I’m really loving red lips right now. Any suggestions? I’m always looking to expand my red lipstick collection.
I would love to have the same color eyes as my Mom, they’re this gorgeous greyish blue.
Favorite TV actress currently is Khandi Alexander from HBO’s Treme. She is amazing!
I’m at a craft fair, losing my wallet. Oh quilts and bead jewelry, I’m such a sucker!
I use a Trucco Face Brush that has been discontinued!
My favorite brush is my Dior Backstage Foundation Powder Brush. I use it for powder foundation, of course, but also for powder application and sweeping away any eyeshadow fallout.
I’m at a craft fair, losing my wallet. Oh quilts and bead jewelry, I’m so easy!
Hi! I’m from Russia and we don’t have snow(((
Well, i have dark brown eyes and i’ve always wanted green or really light brown eyes. I wish!
I want to thank the person who told me to stab my spaghetti squash with a knife and microwave it whole because it turned out great! Only minor finger scalding! yay LOL
I’d really love to win this!!!
No snow yet but I’m in Michigan so it could be any day now!
The makeup brush I use most often is definitely a flat-top synthetic kabuki I got from Meow Cosmetics–it’s super soft, and great for applying finishing powder, powder foundation, or just blending out blush. Plus, Meow has sales all the time, so you can get it for about $20. I like it better than my Mac 182!
I have dark brown eyes- if I could change them, I would love to have green eyes… they’re so unique.
No snow here yet, but lots and lots of rain.
Thank you, Karen! Love to hear about the adventures of you and Tabs (and hubs)–
I would love to trade my deep brown eyes for a honey/amber color, or if I were really daring, a hazel green. Hmm… colored contact technology has come pretty far, I may give it a try!
my elf studio powder brush! I love it to blend out liquid foundation!
I passed the bar exam WOO HOO YAY!
If I could change my eye color, I’d definitely choose green! I’ve tried green contacts on my naturally dark brown eyes and loved how they looked!
Love Sonia kashuk brushes good quality and very nice price. Good to mix with some of my higher end brands!
I think I use my tarte airbrush foundation brush the most but I debating on purchasing the beauty blender and I need a good blush brush too
If I could change my eye color I’d love to make it hazel! I think it’s a very charming color that would work spectacularly with many different eyeshadow shades 🙂
I actually really love my dark brown eyes 😀 it’s such a rich coffee-color
I’m loving my new powder brush from IT Cosmetics! It is so large, soft, and fluffy that it’s like a big, high-quality kabuki with a long handle!
I miss snow. L.A. doesn’t have as much season distinction compared to Chicago.
Hmm…if I had to buy something from Sephora, I might have a big issue because I love everything in the store LOL
I’d change my eye color to something like grey with dark limbal rings. 🙂
Following 🙂
Love Sephora. Favorite product right now is Tarte LipSurgenceâ„¢ lip tint.
Happy Saturday! My favorite make-up brush is my elf fan brush!
I really love the color of Tabs’ eyes 🙂
My favorite brush of all time is the Sigma F80 flat top kabuki!
woooooo!
I only actually use two brushes, a MAC Powder Brush for my blush and powder and a Stila brow brush for my brow powder. I want to try the Sigma Travel Brush Kit tho!
I wished you did video tutorials.
You know, oddly enough, I really like having brown eyes. A few years ago I might have said blue or green, but you can wear pretty much any color of makeup with brown eyes without it clashing. And they still look bold when I don’t wear makeup. I dunno. I think I’ll keep the ol’ brownies.
I’ve actually completed the majority of my holiday shopping already. I’m quite proud of myself.
Frantically studying for midterms! But there is always enough time to slap on some serious eyeliner before heading off to the library 😀
My are were hazel but I after I had my kids my eyes got darker. It is so weird but they just look brown now. I miss my hazel eyes with the heavy eyeliner 🙁
Hi Karen! I just discovered your blog when I searching up info on Mac products – love it! I have some of your recommendations currently in my cart waiting to be purchased and I was so excited to see some of your unsung heroes already in my palette! 🙂 I’m just getting back into makeup again after a hiatus so I love seeing your reviews, etc. Do you really live in Novato? I have relatives who live there, maybe you’re neighbors 😉
I have wanting to buy some new Illamasqua nail polish from Sephora for quite a while now…would love that gift card!
My favorite make up brush is real techniques stippling brush! Genius!
It hasn’t snowed here yet.
If I could change my eye color I’d go for truly blue color, mine are kinda blue but the color leans more towards grayish blue.
This will be my second Christmas away from family back in CT, and the lack of snow here throws me off in terms of seasons. It’s so weird to see people put lights on their houses wearing tank tops.
I have an old fine tip paint brush I bought for super skinny lines that I love!
Chocolate…My thesis project is about chocolate…I’m beginning to have an interesting relationship with it…
I just wish I had enough money to invest in a good set of makeup brush.
I have golden brown eyes and wavy hair. I’ve always wanted blue eyes and straight hair.
I love Real Techniques brushes 🙂
I can’t wait to see snow over here!!!
I use any powder brush the most. I’m always on the lookout to add more.
That picture of Tabs may be one of the cutest ever!
I feel like clinique doesn’t get a ton of love but it truly is one of my favorites!
I wish it would snow here! I’m lucky that the occasional winter may give me a few days of snow but overall, I spend my winters with the weather changing every day.
Now, if I could switch my eye color? Blue. Black hair, blue eyes. Beautiful combination. Alas, at least my brown eyes are vivid!
Struggling with an old favourite. Don’t love Clinique High Impact like I used to. Love Lancôme Hypnose, but it smears. 🙁 Any suggestions? Thanks for running this contest!
Oh. My. Goodness. I’m writing this huge paper as part of my PhD advancement to candidacy and I’ve pulled TWO all-nighters in the last three days. Ack!
No snow here – whaddup Bay Area!? By the way Karen, I am so glad you have a deep love of cats too.
I have green eyes, but I wish I had blue eyes. 🙁
We got a few flakes of snow earlier this week, but it all melted. However, I’m pretty sure that more snow is going to come in a few weeks. *sigh*
I have brown eyes, but I wish I had blue!
I love Smashbox lip gloss! 🙂
I haven’t seen any snow yet this year.
If I could change my eye color, I’d pick hazel.
Going to see Madame Butterfly at the LA Opera today! So excited!
My brown eyes suit me just fine.. But they look extra amber-y with Laura Mercier’s Gilded Rosegold illuminating shadow lining my lashes! I love how using different liners can emphasize the reddish undertones to make my plain brown eyes stand out!
Your blog is one of the few the feature Paul & Joe products. Perhaps because they have such cute whimsical packaging, especially when they have the cat designs, not to mention their products smell divine and are high quality as well. I even bought the Paul & Joe blusher stick (cat with the top cat) in Minou after reading your post. Love their products!
Also you’re one of the first to blog about the Le Volume de Chanel mascara which I have been dying to try. Yves Saint Laurent Faux Cils (waterproof, regular version gives me severe raccoon eyes) and Lancome Hypnose drama (though a little clumpier) are my fav and you say Le Volume de Chanel is better than those?! Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
I can’t wait for a new phone!
The Makeup brush I use most often is My Sigma P80 because it is so Prefect for my concealer application!
I seriously <3 the Real Techniques brushes. They are teh awesome.
I really am enjoying your unsung heroes series with the MAC products. I’m new to MAC ( currently own 6 products)and it’s nice to get info on older items, as well as the newest collections. Gives me an idea of what permanent collection items might need to become staples.
You know I’ve always wanted my eyes to be blue but as I grew up I started to love my big brown eyes. It’s all about accepting who you are and what God gave you and just being thankful for that 🙂
I wish it would snow in Los Angeles! Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I LOVE Tina Fey. I want to go to there!
I would love to have Green eyes and not these brown ones that I have :/
We had a little snow a week ago, but none since. I’m hoping it doesn’t all come at once. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. Have a good weekend.
Hi Karen! You should try out artichoke tea! My roommate bought it from Vietnam and it is amazing!
One day I have to learn how to tweet!
i have blue eyes but i wish they we’re a lighter blue!!
i like to thread my eye brows!
No snow yet….and it can hold off as long as it wants!
I love that it’s pouring outside, but that means I’m not going to make the trek to the gym today, which is both a good and bad thing.
I think I would want green eyes – I’ve always thought they were interesting.
I’d love to win this someday, then I can go buy lots and lots of lipgloss haha.
No snow yet (sadly), and its all about the pluck and shave.
It never snows here, but I wish it would! Tropical climates, tch.
No snow yet here. I have to clean out the garage so I can park in there and avoid the snow scraper!
I usually turn to Vodka or Tequila when I’m stressed! LOL! Having a drink or two is how I happily get through the holidays!
💅Nails did. Thanks “Sheckys”
Hiiiiiii!
thai for dinner tonight!
I just bought the Hourglass foundation brush. I’ve had my eye on it since you recommended it way back, and got it with my 20% off at Sephora. I love it!
Hope this is my lucky entry!!
i’m super excited for thanksgiving!
no snow here in Florida yet : )
I’d change my eye color in green: same as my brother and my mother’s. SO JEALOUS!
meow!
Hum, it’s a toss-up between three or four of my eco-tool brushes. Does it count as one if I pretend they came in a set together?
I live in Florida where it hasn’t snowed since 1985. I think a slight frost was all.
I adore Zooey Deschanel!
Trying to decide if I want to wear green or purple eyeliner today…
My most used brush is my eco tools angled eyeliner brush. I like that it is stiff enough and it comes to a precise point. I like to use it on my eyebrows with my tarte brow mousse. My second fav for the same job is the angled eyeliner brush from essence! I was really surprised by how well it works.
i’ve been loving MAC’s breath of plum blush!! very pretty for fall!
Now that I’m older I feel like snow is only good for getting out of class…way too old to want to go play in it! Here’s hoping for minimal damage snow storm but maximum class cancellation.
I want to answer them all, because I love reading other people’s opinions!
What makeup brush do you use most often? Crown Brush Pro Precision Pointed Powder – only $16, but so big and fluffy, perfect for dusting on loose or pressed powder, highlighter, bronzer, blush, anything!
Most underrated makeup or beauty brand? I’m just now getting into Guerlain, and they do so many things so well
Who’s your favorite actress on TV? Kerry Washington on Scandal, hands down
Has it started snowing where you live? One last week, during the Nor’easter
Do you prefer to shave, wax or pluck? Shave legs, wax bikini area, pluck eyebrows
If you could change your eye color (and wanted to), what color would you choose? Green, because it’s mysterious and different!
I love SEPHORA!!
I am so over snow… got enough during my time (5 years) in Buffalo, NY. Get enough each X-Mas on Staten Island. SoCal weather may be boring….but there’s better things to get excited about…
My favorite quote is, “Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind. -Dr. Seuss” (Link to tweet: https://twitter.com/LeslieDoser/status/269944836264701953)
The makeup brush I use most often is definitely the RealTechniques Buffing Brush. I know it gets talked about a lot, but for good reason. It is absolutely the best for buffing in liquid foundations, tinted moisturizers, and BB creams. Leaves a natural finish and so easy to clean!
I love Hayden Panettiere.
Personally I don’t think EcoTools gets a lot of love when it comes to their brushes… I have 9, yes 9, of their foundation brushes and loveeee them so much! Their easy to clean and uber cheap, only $6.99! Of course it sucks because I have all of those brushes it just makes it harder on myself when I have to do a mass cleaning of all the other makeup brushes I own too!! lol
I have hazel eyes but wish they were greener sometimes.
We have seen snowflakes already here in Michigan but they didn’t last. It won’t be long though.
*Giant Hug* to help you through the holiday stress. Take care, girl!
If I could change my eye color it would be be green or a very bright blue.
Thank you for the giveaway! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 🙂
so fun. thanks
Can’t wait for the snow to come!
The brush I use most often is the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It used to be my Sigma F80 but the size of the RT brush is so much better at getting foundation into the harder to reach areas, like around the nose and under the eyes, and it’s super soft and dense. I tried going back to the F80 but now it feels so huge and unwieldy in comparison.
I use my EcoTools bronzer brush the most, but not really for bronzer. XD I use it for my Bare Minerals makeup instead. :3
I love the picture of Tabs smizing!
My most used brush is the blush brush! I end up using sponges or my fingers for foundation application mostly because I’m not so great at using a foundation brush. Love ur posts Karen!
I love your blog, Karen — and your pic of Tabs getting a makeover cracked me up!
I am looking forward to going home for Thanksgiving for good food, family and to see the last Twlight film with my sister.
No snow here either!
Just in time for the holidays! You’re so generous, Karen & Tabs. I would love to purchase a Bumble & Bumble product and give the Bobbi Brown concealer a try 🙂 Love ya!!
Love Sephora, love your blog. Temps pretty mild here in Brooklyn. It was 50 today.
I normally shave but I am thinking of waxing now 🙂
I am studying abroad in Granada, Spain right now and am absolutely loving it!!=]
Finally got my first brazilian last month. So glad I took ibuprofen beforehand! 🙂
My favorite actress on TV would have to be Emily Deschanel!
I live in New Orleans…I think it’s snowed here maybe 5 times in my 31 year lifetime. It’s been a few years, we should be due for a snowfall soon.
There is sooooo much snow where I live 🙁
but! luckily they’ve finally cleared all the roads so it’s not super dangerous to drive
I believe Tabs might be the one cat who’s more demanding than Sir Fred, but they are very loving and worth it, aren’t they. 🙂
I can never go wrong with a lip brush, even if it’s just for clear lip gloss. Given the grab bag/proverbial box of chocolates weather here in Chicago, there’s no snow to speak of.
I’ve always shaved, and only pluck when necessary (errant gray eyebrow hair, mostly)
Anything below the neck I prefer to get waxed… but eyebrows are plucked or threaded. 😛 Unfortunately I usually shave as waxing can get expensive. 🙁
There’s been no snow here either, and I am looking forward to Christmas!!
Snow: a tiny bit last week
TV actress: Tina Fey
Eyes: emerald green!
Would be exciting to get snow in Nola for thanksgiving
Love, love, love the picture of Tabs getting a full make-over! Does a kitty get her whiskers plucked, or are we just the lucky ones? Have a beautiful Thanksgiving!
We had a little bit of snow, but it melted almost immediately
Happy Early Thanksgiving! Thanks as always for the giveaway-my mom’s birthday is on Monday,I would love to be able to give her the gift of a Sephora giftcard!
I FINALLY bought some of the Revlon Just Bitten kissable balm stains! Love them so much and I now understand the hype 🙂
It very rarely snows in england and when it does its not very deep. In fact im very sad to say that my 18 year old son has never seen decent snow. Im talking about deep snow with snow drifts. Up to your knees snow. I also started watching christmas movies on the channel christmas 24.
yay giveaways!!!
My favorite brushes are Sigma F80 and F82. I use these 2 without fail, daily.
Oh what I’d do for snow in Miami! We just settle for chilly nights with Godiva hot chocolate totally recommend!(:
True story: I could not survive without waterproof liquid eyeliner. I rarely ever go a day without it!
I’m a total cheapskate when it comes to brushes. I mainly use elf studio brushes, especially the powder brush which I use whenever I put on my mineral foundation.
I’m buying a Tofurkey for Thanksgiving. I also love Hourglass primer/sunscreen!
I love your blog!!!
I’m home for the weekend and lovin’ it!
Random- I love Event Horizon. Woo!
I seen some snow flurries around here (Detroit) in the early morning… but so far no snow!
I’m going to Mexico in a week before it starts snowing. I of course had to go to Sephora to pick up some waterproof cosmetics cause you have to look your best when swimming and tanning!
I’ve been super busy with exams and work! =(
This will be great for Black Friday!!!
I like Taraji P. Hensen from Person Of Interest on CBS.
Yes please!!!!
Here in Alabama I don’t even know if we’ll get snow. I just want it to get cold and stay there so I can wear my sweaters already!
I’m waiting patiently for snow here, can’t wait!
SkinFood (korean brand) has this primer that’s really awesome. It’s called the Black Egg Pore Primer and it’s about 10 bucks but it makes my skin feel really soft and smooth thus making it easier for me to apply my makeup.
I love the naked palette, I’m buying it as a christmas present for myself. :}
hi karen & tabs! thanks for another sephora e-card giveaway :o) my husband and i just got back from st. george, UT, and it is such a cute town! we also visited zion national park. definitely going to make another trip to that park in order to hike the “angels landing” trail. you should check it out, if you ever make it that way!
I have great makeup but really bad brushes, that’s what I would use this ecard for! Great brushes!
Woo! I need a new blush!!
My favorite television actress is..Billie Piper!
Happy holiday season everyone 🙂
My favorite makeup brush is an angled blush brush.
Turn the music up really loud and dance around to relieve stress.
One day I might win this – one day!! It hasn’t started snowing here yet, and I hope it never does, I hate driving in the snow!!
yes it has started snowing where I live, its not heavy snow yet but some days there has been light snow!
Wax, wax, wax.
I just had my son last Sunday so I haven’t been able to put on any makeup :/ haha
But my favourite makeup brushes are my sigma ones
if i could choose my eye color, i would choose hot pink. just to be different. AND its my fave color.
Seriously thinking I need the new Cinderella collection, Butter London nail colors and pentone palette too ;D
I want to be a makeup artist when I’m older but Im having a hard time doing makeup for older women with very wrinkly lids… 😐 Hoping I can get some tips at Sephora and stuff, but Im afraid if they ask I’ll offend someone or something
I love the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush! It’s fabulous!!
thank you so much for the giveaway! i’m looking forward to black friday& cyber monday shopping =)))
We actually did have snow already, about 8 inches, shortly after hurricane Sandy left. It’s all melted now, but the snow was so heavy that it broke more trees that Sandy didn’t have a chance to touch.
No snow yet!
Shave certain areas, wax others, and thread the eyebrows and upper lips
Great blog!
No snow in the East Bay, but that would be kind of cool for novelty’s sake!
Hoping to get my hands on an UD foundation brush. Seems like they are sold out everywhere in Canada.
I live in the tropics… rain is the equivalent of snow here ;p
Most underrated tools are Eco Tools brushes – they match up in quality, performance and durability with all others including MAC, Hourglass, Bare Minerals, Sephora…
I’ve tried so many $25 and up mascaras and still can’t find any that are better than Maybelline and L’Oreal. It burns me up that the super-expensive ones dry up after three weeks and have to be replaced! Y’all have to try Maybelline Volume Express One by One. It’s what DiorShow New Look was supposed to be!
I have entered this drawing every time you’ve had it and never won! Please pick me this time!
Wouldn’t change by eye color because they are an unusual shade of blue/green. I have people say they want my eye color all the time.
I <3 Sephora!
No snow yet, but we rarely get snow in this part of Texas and certainly not this early.
Do you think tabs would actually sit still for a full on beauty session like that? My cat would probably bite everyone’s face off. lol
I love blush in general
With some black Friday sales starting early, does this mean no sweating over a stove to prepare turkey dinner? Hmmm… 😉
I have just now, a few minutes ago, fallen in love with Stila’s Convertible Colors. I now want them all. >.>
My favorite brush is the Nars Yachiyo blush brush. Just perfect.
I feel tabs is better with makeup than me! Lol
It hasn’t snowed yet but we’ve been getting iced over a lot.
The makeup brush I use most often is my two eco tools blush brushes , they are great quality at an awesome price !
my favorite eye primer is from bare escentuals but everybody loves urban decay 🙁
I love nail polish!!
So glad I found this blog with some helpful tips today. My make up routine is outdated.
I have been loving the burgundy / red wine lip trend. I want to go try on Bobbi Brown lip color in crimson and Mac Dubbonet.
Hmmm… my favorite makeup product would have to be my MAC concealer. On days where my skin isn’t looking to great, I could just conceal problem areas and under eye circles and my face looks flawless as if I’m wearing full coverage foundation. I just set with MAC’s blotting powder and a little mascara and I’m good to goo!
I use my Bobbi Brown blush brush and my Sephora powder brush the most. I use those daily.
We just had our first snow this week! Ugh this is going to be a long winter. 🙁
I live in Michigan. We had some snowflakes swirling around in the sun Thursday which looked very pretty!
Awesome giveaway! thanks!
I’m counting down the minutes till Maroon 5 on Saturday Night Live. Yum. 🙂
I prefer to shave but I’ve recently been trying some laser treatments for my legs. Crossing my fingers for good results!
I live in Central Washington, and we had our first bit of snow last weekend. Luckily, it has cleared up for the most part. But now, we are stuck with rain. Looking forward to visiting family for thanksgiving – so thankful for the opportunity!
I wish they had a cream that would make facial hair go away forever and ever. lol
I think the eco tools buffing brush is my best all round brush followed by real techniques expert face brush. I’ll ise either on consecutive products on face: primer throrgh foundation/ powder/ bronzer/ blush.
Tbh, I prefer tweezing over waxing or threading any day. I use tweezerman’s tweezers and I feel it gives better control and is less irritating to the skin while removing fine and coarse hairs under my arch. I’ve been wearing a bold yet well groomed brow look sinxe summer
How’s it? So I went through surgical menopause recently, throwing me under the hot flash bus 20 years too early. So I have to deal with serious IronMan Triathalon type sweating at any given moment. Needless to say, my Look suffered. So after much trial & serious fail-age, my faves are straight out of the drugstore. Loreal Infallable 24 hour eyeshadow & Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadow have killed the competition hands down. They stay on thru hot flash sweating, swimming, tears, & rain. Some of those simultaneously. For all other non waterproof makeup I use Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray. Prob way much more than anyone wanted to know, right right?
i love TARTE products!!!
Hi everybody!
I’ve been sick all week with a bad stomach — thanks, Karen, for giving me a source of joy with you blog.
I use a small angled brush the most — for eyeliner and eyebrows.
I think Revlon is underrated. They have some good stuff.
My eyes are very dark brown, and I would not change them.
I can’t think of any brush that would be my favourite.
It hasn’t started snowing here.
I would change me eyes to green. Green eyes are so beautiful.
I prefer waxing! Although its painful I find I just get much better results!
I wish it would start snowing here! I love snow but it’s (predictably) rather rare in New Orleans 🙁
Thanks for the giveaway!!! Love your blog.
I’d gladly give up the gift card for shirtless Jeremy Renner =D
Did you get to catch him tonight on SNL? The Avengers skit was priceless….
Hi Karen! Hope you and Tabs are doing well! The makeup brush I use most often is probably my Bobbi Brown Blush Brush bc I love using blush everyday! It fits my round cheeks perfectly! And I just got the MAC 217 after reading your tweet about owning FOUR of them!! It’s AMAZING!!! I don’t know how I live without it! My little Asian eyes were singing Hallelujah while I was using it, no joke! Hahaha!
Unfortunately we did get snow already right after hurricane sandy. Been a bad few weeks here in NJ 🙁
I’m so excited for Xmas, I’ve been addicted to peppermint mochas at starbucks… so festive and delicious!
I could really use some fresh cosmetics! Thanks for the chance to win the Sephora card! 🙂
No snow here but the rain finally decided to show up. And in buckets no less! Dang it…but it didn’t slow the hubby and I down on our wine tasting date day.
The makeup brush I use most often is the Urban Decay Optical Blurring brush. I love it for both liquid and powder foundations! And it’s sooo soft.
No snow in SoCal, but that’s how I like it 😀
I’d love to pick up some eye shadow palettes from Sephora. Thanks for the opportunity =)
It’s very rare to get snow in the SF Bay Area but I don’t mind. I’m a plucker. I’ve really liked the Sonia Kashuk brushes I’ve bought this year. Thanks!
I finally remember to enter one of these things. Best luck to everyone!
Craving sinigang like crazy right now. All this rain in the Bay Area makes me want my dad’s home cooking.
No snow here yet….not that I want it to snow….I love fall.
I am definitely enjoying Connie Britton on Nashville! I really miss Tami Taylor though!!
I love snowfall. No snow yet 🙁
Love is beautiful
I would SO have gray eyes. Or icy green.
I just bought a Nars smudge brush for eyeshadow three days ago, and it’s already my favorite brush in my beauty arsenal!
I love ELF makeup and brushes they are awesome and affordable.
I’m stressing over the holidays. On a tight budget so gift shopping stinks. And my birthday is coming up too. Bah! D:
Adore that picture of Tabs getting preened! More like that, please!
I took my first bikram yoga class this morning, and I have to admit–I think I’m addicted!
No snow here……realllly glad about that!
It actually doesn’t snow where I live! But I’m glad that I can go to Tahoe for snowboarding and such 🙂
My most used brush is probably a tie between Sonia Kashuk’s blending brush and my trusty Bobbi Brown angled eyeshadow brush. Love them both!
I’m actually really happy with my green eyes and wouldn’t change them!
This post made me crack up.
Count me in! 😉
Exciting giveaway!! I’m in love with too faced and urban decay products right now because they have great pigmented shadows. I used to be very timid about wearing bright colors but I’ve been watching a ton of tutorials and gave really learned some great blending and application techniques. It’s fun to practice and try new things:)
My favourite makeup brush has got to be the MAC 226! I have been using it everyday to apply color all over the lid and for the crease and highlight. It’s a lovely brush. So glad I got one when they repromoted them. Thanks for the lovely giveaway Karen!
Hasn’t snowed here but am hoping for a white Christmas!
Watching SNL right now!
I would so change my eye color to like a blue green anything but my dark brown eyes lol and I only saw two times in my life and would love to see it again
Thanks Karen for this giveaway. I hope to win because I love shopping at Sephora!
Watching The Amazing Spiderman on Movies on Demand now!
I’ve always loved violet or amethyst colored eyes! I’m not sure how they’d look on me though.
My eyes are blue and I’ve always loved them! Though sometimes I thought I wouldn’t mind a pretty shade of green eyes.
Attended a beautiful wedding yesterday! Good vibes all around!
I have to start planning desserts for Thanksgiving this weekend.
Love makeup!
Idk about underrated but I can tell you whats overrated….MAC!
…i’m a bit abashed to say, i just use the spongey things that come with the palettes… LOL.
I cannot live without makeup. Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
If I win this I’m gonna go and get myself one of those Benefit holiday sets. Yay! I’d probably go and get one even if I don’t win though.
the ecotools powder blush/foundation brush is amazing and a great deal!
I use my beauty blender most often, it hasn’t started snowing yet (thank god, because when it does the whole country goes into crisis) and I’d like to see myself with bright green eyes!
Yay sephora! I use my sonia kashuk blush brush every day 🙂
Oooooh if i win it i will buy Lorac pro palette or maybe Illamasqua Rich liquid foundation 🙂 Thank you Karen and Tabs for the giveaway!!!
The makeup brush I use most often is Sephora Collection Pro Concealer Brush #45.
I’ve been using my Sigma travel collection of brushes a lot lately….even though I”m not traveling! LOL I like the smaller size for every day 🙂
Back in the saddle again and it feels so good! Been at the gym everyday for two weeks and eating clean after 2 surgeries this year for crohns disease! Whoop whoop!
I have to say that I would not want to change my eye color. I have yellowish green eyes that would rival even your fur boss, Tabs 🙂
I’ve got brown eyes, and while I love my eyes, I’m also a photographer that really sees the benefit of lighter-colored eyes creating drama in photos… so secretly I’d love green eyes. 😀
I really like my eyes–they’re a blue-grey color that sometimes looks very blue, sometimes looks like cement. If I could have any other color, I would like to have hazel eyes that can alternate between looking green and golden-brown.
Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen! 😀
Adolescent overload… that’s amazing. 😀
If I could, I would change my eye colour to a more interesting and crazy blue!
My first tweezers were from Sephora <3
I really love Urban Decay ^^
No snow yet! It’s just starting to get really cold down here
Thought of you when watching SNL last night- Jeremy Renner was on.
I use my sonia kashuk concealer brush everyday with mac studio concealer.
Hi Karen! Yesterday I attended the Nordstrom Trend Show. Great makeup products but just a little too crazy for me. So many women clammering for free makeup samples. Ugh, I had to leave. 🙁
I’m planning to get the Tarte carried away palette, and when I do I’ll send you a pic of my best smize (if you want)! 😉
Love your posts! I come back every day to see what you have to say. My 17 year old orange and white kitty Clyde likes the Tabs pics…..he says more cat makeovers please…
I’m feelin your Jeremy Renner obsession
I bought nars pure radiance tinted moisturizer yesterday. I hope it lives up to the rave reviews….
No snow in Toronto yet, but it’s getting cold! Perfect time to break out Nightmoth & Rebel 🙂
I would love to have deep blue eyes!!!
If I could change my eye color I’d like to have blue/grey eyes. I have pitch black hair so I think it would look awesome with that eye color 🙂
It’s STILL 70/80 degrees here in AZ! And December is approaching!
Here on the 83’s!!!! Too!
There are so many awesome things at sephora right now! Besides the obvious, ill let you know that MAC is my favorite beauty brand and it hasn’t snowed yet in VA and doubt it will but we are going to upstate NY for thanksgiving and I hope we see a couple flurries! I am thankful either way though!
I’m looking forward to football today, hoping the home team wins!
I can’t believe the holidays have come so quickly… I’ve been fighting the flu for over a week now and am barely able to breathe now. I haven’t done much shopping and have been too sick to be stressed! Lol…but herbal tea is always a good de-stressor. Here’s to hoping! 😀
I use my Ecotools powder brush most often. It’s the softest thing ever on my face. I neglect so many other brushes and pick that one up all the time.
No snow yet!
Sunny and warm here in FL. Great beach day!
Sonia Kashuk buffer brush.
It’s still Hot where I live! I think winter it’s delayed! But I’m enjoying it!! I’m not a fan of winter outfits! I have more summer clothes and don’t like to go shopping for outfits this seasons… But I have to because I’m very chilly ☺â„
My favorite foundations are from Chanel, Lancome, and NARS.
Karen,
I want to say thanks so much for getting me addicted to soooo many different products and making me obsession with makeup even more!! Thanks again!!!!!
Spent yesterday at a chocolate festival. I think I’m still experiencing the chocolate coma.
Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I use the Sephora Professional Eyebrow brush the most! I live in sunny California, it doesn’t snow where I live :/ I prefer waxing! I would definitely choose like a dark deep grey or a brilliant bright blue!
It’s going to be 60 most of this week. Hooray! That’ll motivate me to work off the 200 pounds of pie I hope to eat this week 😀
you know, this year is so funny because on our forecast for this week…nothing but highs of 70s and lows of mid 50’s. it won’t be bad at all. can’t say i’m not happy though, it’s awesome that i won’t have to be freezing at night and relying on tons of blankies and my heater. 🙂
I would have loved to have green eyes.
Snow is done here!
It snowed here last week but no more since. It was really pretty while it lasted, though!
My favorite makeup brush is Bobbi Brown’s ultra fine eyeliner brush.
I hope everyone everywhere has a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you Karen for your wonderful beauty blog & giveaways.
No snow here. Thank goodness!!!
I am loving the Insta-Dry nail polishes! I love painting my nails, but it was driving me crazy when I would get dents when my polish wasn’t all the way dry. With all the new fast dry polishes, I am finally able to play around with different styles.
I know this is probably a cliche answer, but I definitely use my MAC 217 the most. What can I say, it’s just such a versatile brush!
i’m not sure i prefer waxing… but it’s just what needs to be done 🙂
I’m so glad I finally found an exercise I love-muay thai!
I prefer to have my eyebrows waxed, plucking when only necessary.
The makeup brush do you use most often MAC 217 and 219. Most underrated makeup or beauty brand I think is E.L.F cosmetics. My favorite actress on TV is Meg Steedle that just died on Board Walk Empire. I live near Boston yes it started snowing here. I prefer to wax stays smother for longer. If I could change my eye color it would be grey the color looks hot on me!
Just had my first eyebrow wax recently! Looking for tips to deal with the pain. (I’m such a wimp!) The results were fabulous, though…
Went bowling with my son this morning!
I love ELF Studio brushes! These are my favorite, even though I have pricier ones in my collection.
Happy Thanksgiving Karen!!!
Fav brush = Sonia Kashuk flattop!
Some snow would be nice. I would rather it were colder and snowing than slightly above freezing and rainy!
When I was little I always wanted green eyes, but now I love my brown eyes. I consider them my best neutral accessory!
revlon by far makes some good stuff
I love my MAC brushes! I would like to try the Sigma ones though.
I love green eyes I always wanted my eyes to be greenish grey!
I like my Eco Tools makeup brushes I bought at Target. Great quality for the price!
I love reading your blog! It’s the first thing I do when I get home from work lol it’s so relaxing! Thank you!
Yay for a giveaway.
I love green eyes!
My birthday is in two weeks so I’m hoping I can buy some new makeup but money is tight right now.
I’m using my fingers to apply my BB cream, but before that I was a fan of MAC 187.
Underrated… Revlon’s lippies are pretty good and cheap.
TV actress: right now I would say Maggie Smith on Downton Abbey.
No snow.
Pluck eyebrows, laser everywhere else.
I’d just take away a tad of brown and leave my eyes more green.
We had snow right after Superstorm Sandy! Thank God the weather has been good to us since then!
I love that we both have a Jeremy Renner obsession!!
T-Money & K-Dog, PLEASE pick me!
Horray for a great giveaway! Love Clinique mascara…
my girlfriend would love this!
This is a little off topic, from the normal entry posts, but this week I am recovering from an allergic reaction to the Bare Essentials skincare line. Dry, itchy, rough skin on my face and neck. Any suggestions on what to do would be much appreciated, I’ve never gone though this before :/
I’m so excited for the holidays! I can’t wait to see my little cousins! I want to get the Naked palette. I need help buying foundation. I never know if the shade matches my face or not. lol
Sonia kashuk flat top brush!!!! Amazing……
The Real Techniques base shadow brush! My favorite for applying my Maybelline Color Tattos 🙂
I have brown eyes but when I was 15, I convinced my mom to let me get blue colored contact lenses. My poor brother brought his girlfriend (now wife) home from college to meet us and the first thing my father does is lean closer for a better look and ask her if her eyes are real. 🙂
I actually made this sundy productive and cleaned and did laundry…and had a little fun trying on my new tarte lip gloss. Id really like to get onw od their lipsticks for my holiday get togethers to look a bit put together! 8)
Love the picture of Tabs, so adorable! Korres cosmetics is underrated they have a great mascara: Volcanic Minerals Volumizing mascara.
I’ve been really loving my EcoTools brushes lately. 🙂
Got married yesterday, life is really great 🙂
So sleepy today!
I saw San Francisco ballet in dc yesterday. It was the most beautiful show I have ever seen. So jealous you are in sf area!
I think waxing is the best 🙂
I am loving the Tarte lip surgence set from Sephora. Wouldn’t mind picking up another set with this gift card 🙂
Just an addict of make ups.
Discovered an amazing budget foundation brush for liquid and cream foundations – Real Techniques Expert Face Brush…it’s dense and synthetic and buff to a perfect finish every time!
There are two brushes I use Every. Single. Day. no matter what else may be going on with my makeup. I have a Sonia Kashup flat top multipurpose brush that I use to apply powder foundation (either Bobbi Brown mineral or Laura Geller balance & brighten depending how much coverage I need that day) and I have a MAC 217 that I use solely for blending out concealer under my eyes. Nothing else does the job quite as perfectly.
My daughter is just starting to put together a makeup kit, so I’d like to help her get set up.
I absolutely love your blog! I just happened to stumble upon it today and I’m so glad that I did 🙂
I got colored contacts for a costume I was sporting at a Comic Con. Most people didn’t notice because my normal eyes are brown, and the colored contacts were a greenish color. If I could change them, I probably would change them to green! It was only people out and about that would give me strange looks? Maybe it was the lighting out in the real world that made it more obvious haha!
my favorite actress on tv now is piper perabo!
I would love to change my eyes from brown to gray
I just bought the balm jovi palette just because of the name. In my book it goes first balm jovi. Then eyeshadow so it’s perfect for me!…but seriously having such a bad time controlling myself with the holiday palettes. I think this is my fifth this month….
I had such a long week!
we don’t have any snow here yet!
It’s my birthday today! I could use some Sephora $$$ to ease my post-party hangover… :p
I think the most underrated brand is Illamasqua – they’re so creative with their colors and finishes, and everything I’ve gotten from them is super high quality (especially their nail polishes).
Hey Karen, greetings from Germany! I just love the Primer Potion by Urban Decay, one of the must-buys whenever I get near Sephora (we don’t have it here).
My cat recently had to be put to sleep (he was 18 1/2 years old), so whenever I see your blog I think of him and love to see Tabs 🙂
I can’t wait for Thanksgiving : ). I love getting together with my family and enjoying the food.
I just cant wait for THANKSGIVING! feast feast feast on some delicious food 😉 what is yours, el hub, and tabs favorite dish?!
I want to try the new Aerin Lauder stuff yet I’ve seen so few reviews on it.
I love green eyes.
Unfortunately it already started snowing where I live =(
If I could change my eye color, I’d want blue or grey eyes.
I am loving the Kat Von D Tattoo Foundation for the best long-lasting, full coverage look, ever!
I prefer to shave.
The Real Technique brushes are absolutely amazing and so very affordable as well!
I’m in need of some time off, I cannot wait for the holidays!!! I hope you had a nice weekend, Karen. 🙂
No snow yet here, though being in the PNW that’s not unexpected. The rain, unfortunately, has really started. Goodbye sunshine, see you in a few months…
I’m a novice and I want to learn more! I need $50 at Sephora for educational purposes.
No snow here just wind & showers!
I love Bare Minerals and I feel like it is definitely under rated. I swear by it
I had to take my cat to the vet today for his annual checkup. But he is doing well, although apparently I need to start brushing his teeth. That’s not going to be fun…
I love how you rock a daytime smoky eye! So cute! 🙂
that kitty image confused the hell out of me!
I use my angled eyeliner brush most often to fill in my brows and to apply eyeliner.
My favorite show is friday night lights! Right now I use my makeup forever HD foundation in #125 with my sigma flat top kabuki brush the most. Best combo ever!
just realized my cat is like a bad boyfriend…just when you think she cares about you, she proves you wrong and makes you feel stupid for ever thinking she cared 🙁 so unhealthy!! haha…
I think NYX is way underrated; and I love using my travel set of Paula’s Choice brushes.
Eeekk I hope I win!
i’ve always wanted hazel eyes.
No snow here in central Texas – in fact it was 70 degrees today!
no snow yet….fingers crossed it stays that way for a while!
Just went to Sephora today! 🙂
We never get snow here in California. Thank you for the giveaway!
It hasn’t started snowing where I live (in Canada) and I’m sad! I don’t mind cold weather, but the snow makes everything pretty! Thanks for this chance!
My fave brush right now is actually the double-ended one from the Naked 2 palette!
Me! Pick me!
Whats the best brand of coverup?
Did you see Renner on SNL? That opening was so goofy!
I love a good giveaway! A gift card to sephora could totally perk up my turkey day look 😉
MEOW!
I shave, pluck, or use depilatory creams. Haven’t been able to work up the courage to try waxing yet.
Thank You so Much
I am spending my night cuddling my two cats and drinking tea! 🙂
Hmm…I have brown eyes, and I like the color, but every once in a while, I wish I had blue eyes.
I’ve been on a real highlighter kick lately, there are so many gorgeous ones to test & play with!
I tweeted too, I’m iowagirl301
I prefer to wax, or sugar!
I can’t wait to use my new kabuki brush!
Love Sephora, it’d be great to win!
The weather is going to be really bad tomorrow.
Currently, I really like Lucy Liu in Elementary! The show has great potential.
Eye color…I don’t know, I like my browns, but I’ve always admired blue (in men) and hazel (in women).
Been using eco tools brushes a lot especially their concealer brush. It’s the bomb!
I use the MAC 217 the most!
omg this is such an amazing giveaway! Thank you!
Right now I am OBSESSING over the new Tarte Glamazon Lipsticks! They are absolutely fantastic!
Can’t wait for thanksgiving
I live in Florida, so it never snows 🙁
weekends are always too short…but super psyched for a nice short work week and a nice long weekend coming up!
I just watched the movie “Fight Club”. I really liked it, had a much deeper meaning than I thought!
I can’t live without my MAC 217. I’ve tried other dupes and nothing compares.
Ive just recently began an addiction to all things beauty(after my 1st trip tp sephora) and your site always came up in my searches while looking for reviews and tutorials on some of my most recent beauty buys. I’ve always loved makeup but didn’t buy a lot because there’s only so much you can do with browns, taupes and neutrals, which is all that I had worn for 25 years (I was a teen in the 80’s and never caught onto the blue trends then). So now I’m looking for ways to wear color-hopefully I’m not too old for that.
But anyway LOVE your site-very helpful reviews, tips etc. plus I like your conversational way of posting!
Thanks for all your help!,
And oh, by the way-sephora is my Home Depot! So would love to win!!!
Just got my hands on Lorac Pro Palette and I am in love with all the colors!! Can do so many different looks with all its matte and shimmer shades…def a Must-Have!!:-)
I think theBalm definitely is underrated.
I’d love to win! I’m a new-be beauty blogger and you inspire me in so many ways 🙂
Awesome giveaway!
Now keeping my fingers crossed !!!
I have coarse hair and recently moved to the Pacific Northwest. Not a good combo :/
No snow yet in New York, thank goodness!
Feeling lucky! No snow here Karen, but it’s coming. Going to enjoy the last days of fall.
I have dark brown eyes, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. When I’m tan I can wear gold shadows to make them exotic looking and during the winter I can get away with deep dark colors against my paler skin. It’s fun to fantasize about different eye colors, but I really do love my big brown eyes.
New comer to your blog and I’m enjoying it!
I just got done stamping a lace design with Sinful Colors Pot O Gold onto Orly Buried Alive.
B’dellium brushes are a great alternative to Mac brushes!
It has already snowed once here in NJ; the week after hurricane sandy. Hoping this winter is not quite as bad as they are predicting. Would love to live someplace with mild winters!
I would change my eyes to purple or grey
Not snowing yet in Seattle!
The brush I use the most is definitely my EcoTools angled eyeliner brush! It has multiple uses, and I WISH I could just find it sold separately instead of in sets!
Well, I’ve been thinking how I need a heavier cream for my skin. This colder weather has dried me out a bit and this thin one isn’t cutting it.
Favourite tv actress right now is Lena Dunham!
Makeup geek is really underrated and awesome! Great products, all natural and so affordable!
Momma needs a new mascara! Oh, and snow, please.
I really like my brown eyes, but I’m thinking that I would like to have hazel/green eyes too. Some of my family members have hazel/green eyes and they are so strikingly beautiful 🙂
Love the Holiday season love spending time with family
So exhausted…ready for a field trip to Sephora after nearly six weeks recovering from my c-section and cuddling my sweet baby girl! Need to introduce her early, right? 😉
It does not snow where I live, and I am glad for that. Pretty as it may be, snow as a regular, seasonal, weather pattern is just too cold for me.
Hi Karen, love your blog! Say hi to Tabs from me, he’s one fierce feline, live him!!! xoxo from the Hetherlands!
Of all my brushes, I love my sigma f80 the most.
Karen your blog is amazing, especially for Mac MSF swatches and reviews! What do you think of Buxom glosses? Latest addiction for me now that I’m ODed on MSF’s!
i’m thinking may be i should change my nail colour!
I love this prize!
I think it is my blush brush!
Aaaah can’t wait until Thanksgiving and BREAK 🙂
So cool that you do these all the time! Thanks for thinking of us so! 🙂
that picture is perfect
