WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is MJ! Congratulations, MJ! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

It’s a new service or app thingy from Twitter that lets you make these short, six-second video clips, and IT’S A LOT OF FUN!
Fun AND practical, as you can clearly see by this unboxing video Tabs had me create of some new Too Faced Cosmetics products.
He wanted to convey the excitement he felt tearing into the packaging, and a six-second Vine seemed perfect for that…
In other news, nice to see you this morning! 🙂 I’m actually feeling a little under the weather. I’ve had this blasted migraine since early yesterday morning, and it’s thrown me off my game. I don’t know if it’s hormonal or was triggered by something I ate or just the light from the computer screen, but it hoits.
While I stick another cold compress on my forehead and take two Advil, you should enter this weekend’s giveaway for a $50 Sephora eCard. It only takes a comment, but the full deets are down below.
Have a great day today, whatever you’re up to, and I’ll catch up with you soon.
“Tabs! Mommy needs lurvies!”

-Shana“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!!”

-Jane“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“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.

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!”

aww feel better Karen! make sure to get plenty of fluids (:
Love it! I never say no to cosmetics! Glad I found your blog,there is a lot of info that I really need!
I don’t wear bronzer!
Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well, get lots of rest and hug Tabs!
I always go to my cat when I need to feel better (physically or emotionally!)
Just love you & all your tips & tweets Karen!
Hey Karen, sorry to hear that you’re still suffering from your migraine. Have you tried any of the migraine tablets like Advil Migraine or Bayer Migraine? They contain caffeine and they always help my headaches which I get quite often.
Anyways, hope your weekend gets better and I am really hoping to win that gift card so I can buy a Nars TM with it, I tried it yesterday and it’s pretty awesome!
Note to self: save all packaging for cats to play with!
I woke up to this adorable video of tabs! Plus my cat scooted his butt with poo on my carpet! 🙁
My favorite bronzer is Benefit’s Hoola.
Science Fact: snuggling with a tabby is beneficial to your health. <3
Hope you feel better soon Karen!
My favorite TV show of all time is The Golden Girls. Those who don’t know me find this funny. Those who DO know, aren’t surprised when I tell them it will be a big part of my wedding!
Karen, you should take the day off.
Try a cold can of soda- lay down with it under your neck- sounds odd but works! Can fits perfectly in the curve of your neck. Beauty question for after you feel better: most complain of bags under eyes. I have opposite- best disguise for sunken in look? Thanks!
oh tabs, you are just so adorable <3
i'm really into computers and technology. no one guesses that, and it totally confuses them. so many times my husband's friends have been over and they say they love his computer, and he has to tell them its his wife's computer 🙂
Whenever I get migraines I like to use a lotion with pain relief; I use Bio-Relief and it’s all natural. I just rub some on my temples and forehead, then lay in bed in the dark until the next day pretty much >.< Anyhoo, yes I always wear base and top coat!! Who skips those things?! My favorite super cheap drugstore find is probably Pure Ice ($2 at Walmart) or Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear (also usually $2 or $3).
I’m really diggin Mane and Tail shampoo and conditioner right now.
I don’t even own a bronzer, much less use one. I don’t like looking warm, tan, golden, or any of that stuff.
I definitely don’t wear bronzer because most of the ones I find are actually lighter than my actual skin tone.
I Do wear bronzer and my Favorite Bronzer has to go to NYX Matte Bronzer because it is affordable, has so many ranges of color, awesome pigmentation, no glitter and doesn’t make me look orange.
I rock climb! 🙂
Aw, hope you feel better soon! I’m sure kitty snuggles will help, if only Tabs cooperates! (Also, I’m sure that I read ginger could help with migraines – candied ginger, or steeped fresh grated ginger. I might give it a try the next time a migraine decides to visit.)
I took a documentary class in college with a really awesome local filmmaker, and I made a three-minute documentary. It took so long, I was really shocked! But, it was a lot of fun…I’d love to do it again if I had the time!
Hope you feel better!
I’ve been wondering what careers out there combine my passions for helping people one-on-one, and art? I’ve only come up with art therapy, recreational therapy, and even videogame therapy . . .
I want an eyelash curler that doesn’t take my eyeliner off
lets see my latest shampoo is expensive but its what my stylist recommended, its good so far. Bumble and bumble
I always wear a base and a topcoat. I’ve found that Seche Vite’s products keep my nails looking good for a full 7-10 days.
Hope you feel better soon, Karen!
Feel better!
I use bronzer on my neck because no matter what I do my face is always darker and more tanned. I like NYC’s matte bronzer.
Darn autocorrect! That’s supposed to be NYX’s matte bronzer.
Coca-Cola (regular) is like my migraine tonic … the sugar and caffeine help. Feel better!
I second this, it really does help! caffeine is in a lot of migraine meds, and the taste of coke helps the soul 😛
Cool! Do you need a twitter to be able to make those vids?
I just bought Giovanni’s sulfate free shampoo & conditioner and can’t wait to try them!
Dealing with a headache today. a TMJ one. Not fun at all.
I always wear a base and top coat now. It doesn’t take too much extra time and preserves my nail color quite a bit, so I think it’s worthwhile.
Herbal Essences conditioner. So far, I’m liking it!
I got a great makeover at a temporary MAC store a couple of years ago. The MUA found great eyeshadow color combinations for me and taught me how to apply.
My sister, our friend, and I had a girl’s night in last night! We watched movies, I did their nails, and we did homework lol!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have been liking Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner lately to wash my hair with.
I’ve never had a makeover. The closest I’ve even gotten was having my sister-in-law apply my makeup once but I wasn’t a big fan. I figure no one knows better what works on me than myself but I still think it would be fun to have a total makeover – by a professional:)
I made a stop-motion animation film when I was in college. It’s only a few minutes long, but took us months to make!
Yay for Karen’s Saturday giveaways!
I have been on a tight budget lately, so this gift card would come in really handy 🙂
I love my Biolage foretherapy! Smells amazing, makes my hair soft and shiny, gets the tangles out, and helps strengthen it. Good shampoo and conditioner makes a worlds difference.
I love Cargo bronzer in deep.
I don’t ever wear bronzer, I really should because I’m so pale !
I’ve been loving Enjoy shampoo and conditioner these days!
I couldnt live without bronzer! Benefit is my favorite bronzer brand i think!
I wish I could find a bronzer that matches my skin tone.. every one I’ve tried just looks like my skin color already.. Maybe I should just stay away from it.
I love to knit. People are always surprised to hear this about me.
I hope you feel better soon!
I don’t wear bronzer very often, but my favorite is NARS laguna.
I always wear a top coat on my nails!
I like theBalm’s Bahama Mama bronzer.
It seems like everyone’s under the weather. Wishing everyone good health!
I always use a base and top coat. Polishes definitely look better with a top coat.
Cant wait for summer!! So fed up with storms, snow and rain..
Kirkland brand moisture shampoo and conditioner is my secret weapon – so cheap for these giant bottles!
I always wear base and top coat! It’s gotten to the point that I can’t put nail polish on my nails without a top and base coat – I just won’t do it!
Randomness- I’m going on an errand to find some Wet n Wild fergie eyeshadow primer! WOO! Hope it’s as awesome as it sounds! 😀
My current bronzer is the Bourjois one that looks like a chocolate bar, I love it!
I almost always use bronzer. My favorite is Chanel’s powder bronzer.
I have three favorite bronzers! For an all over glow I love Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer in Park Ave Princess. For contouring I rotate between either Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer or Benefit Hoola Bronzer.
I never wear a bronzer but I always wear a base and topcoat.
I always wear a base and topcoat just because they make a noticeable difference in the wear time of the polish I use.
I love the balm betty lou bronzer!
I hardly ever wear bronzer– I know it’s weird but I prefer my skin pale. I lovelovelove Revlon nail polishes though I find that they tend to chip faster than my OPI. Yeap. Base and top coat are my loves and how I get my nail polishes to stay on so long. I’ve been using Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lavender Mint Shampoo and Conditioner.
I love NARS Laguna!
I just ordered the brush set and one of the shadows from the emerald Pantone universe launch.
I love Benefit Hoola bronzer for contouring =)
MAC bronzer!
Awww… feel better Karen! That was an adorable video, btw!
I always wear basecoat and topcoat – it’s the only way to get great wear! You’ve got to find the right combo for you, but I find that the Julep basecoat and ProFx Topcoat keep my polish on for a week or more!
I love Estee Lauder’s bronzer.
Looking forward to spring makeup and pastel nail polish!
I recently received some Smashbox Photo Finish primer. I can’t wait to try it!
I feel your pain. I overslept and got a migraine as well 🙁
base and top coats for nails are a must! sometimes I just use one for both uses however. 🙂
I basically wear bronzer everyday. I use Guerlain “Terracotta Four Seasons”, and I love it!
I am just now getting into bronzers. I have no idea how to apply them.
Such a great giveaway. I really want to try out the Tarte Maracuja Eye Cream 🙂
Not sure if it’s the spring like sun, but I have been on a cleaning kick. Vacuum and wipe down blinds and base boards.
Hey T-Money and K-Dawg! Great giveaway!
looking forward to giving clear mascara a try!
I would like to try a Burberry lip mist!
I am using Nioxin products after chemo 🙂
Hope you feel better soon! Had a nice long lunch with a colleague/ friend today, then went beauty shopping: Caudalie Sorbet Cream, Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick and Brightening Gloss in pink lilac.
Best budget blue nail polish is Sally Hansen’s Pacific blue. Love it!
My favorite budget nail polish is Sally Hansen Xtreme wear.
I always wear base/top coats!
Hi Karen! 1st let me say I really hope your migraine goes away, although we love your posts I would recommend probably staying away from th computer and light in general….
My fav budget nail polish is from the brand wet n’ wild. I purchased a pink glitter to wear on New Years; the fomulation was great, I loved the amount of glitter that I was able to pack on my nails in just two coats plus it only cost me $1.
Hmmm something to say…well I love your kitty mascot! Mine also has an affinity for paper shreddings lol
Thanks!I sure would love to win,it woudl be a first.
Love your cat.I have 2. 🙂
Sold our biz yesterday! So stressful!
so sorry hear to hear you’re sick, feel better and hug tabs. I’m so bummed sephora @ amazon is no longer..boo.
Get well soon!
I am using Joico K-pak shampoo and conditioner at the moment. 🙂 I haven´t found my HG bronzer yet, but Sleek face contour kit has been doing the trick for me for past 6 months. 🙂
hi karen! i usually buy sally nail polish (i can’t get myself to buy the opi, or higher priced ones), but l’oreal has this one shade i’m LOVING right now: he red my mind. i think it’s the perfect red 🙂 happy weekend to you!
I find Wet n Wild polishes to be nice and long lasting for me.
Feel better, Karen!
Those milani nail polishes look promising
omg. the too faced sweetheart beads radiant glow face powder is just too cute.
I just wear the bronzer than came with a Sephora makeup set. It has eyeshadows, lip glosses, blush, and the bronzer.
My favorite bronzer is from Mark!
I Have been Using the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion shampoo & conditioner lately, I Just LOVE the smell and how it always leaves my hair so soft!
Hi Karen love your blog for the makeup reviews and I love seeing Tabs here too! My cats name is Molly and she’s spoiled rotten. Just thought I would share my current obsession which are Hourglass products:) They have amazing stuff, but my wallet hates their prices:/
Love the unboxing video! That’s exactly how I feel when I open a much anticipated package.
Feel better soon!
Migraines suck! I have heavy duty prescription Motrin for these, lie down in a dark room if possible until the Motrin kicks in. If you can sleep it off, even better. There has been some research suggesting that drinking more water helps prevent migraines. It can’t hurt.
I’m a broken Nars record…use their bronzer/multiple thingy in Malibu as a blush. It’s too perfect (even though I don’t use it as a bronzer).
Hope you’re feeling better!!!
I get migraines occasionally as part of my vast network of fibromyalgia symptoms…I hope you feel better ASAP, Karen!
It’s a beautiful day in Milwaukee!!!! Sunny and warm (well, 30 degrees warm).
I looove Nexxus Promend shampoo and conditioner. It’s good for my hair and I think it smells like vanilla frosting!
I’ve been enjoying the Avalon Organics Volumizing Shampoo and the Acure Organics Volumizing Conditioner.
Hope you feel better soon!
I hope your migraine has left you by now. I’ve been on a Sephora hiatus, hopefully I can get back there soon. Paying off debta. 🙁
I used to like to write fanfic, and I am still a huge fanfic reader. Most people don’t understand it, but I find it as an outlet to write, to make the characters I adore do things that necessarily wouldn’t happen on the show (ie, ending the long awaited tension between two characters and just making them kiss already), and be a part of the fanbase. 🙂
I love your site! It’s so creative and really like all of the swatches! Toodleloooouuu
I always wear a base coat or my nails turn yellowish.
Sinful Colors is a great nail polish brand option if you want lots of color selection for a low price! I really like their glitter polishes. I hope you feel better soon! It always sucks to be sick.
Love the packaging for the new two faced stuff. Darn it now I’m gonna have to go shopping!
I’ve recently rediscovered my MAC Studio Careblend bronzer from a couple Summers ago. It’s so nice!
Sorry to hear you’re feeling under the weather!
I’ve been involved in a couple of short films…including one for our local branch of the 48 Hour Film Festival. 48 hours total to write, shoot, and edit a 5-7 minute film in a theme randomly selected for you. Crazy times, but hope to do it again at some point…
I never used to, but this past year I started wearing both a base and topcoat
I have weather related migraines that usually begin right before it rains. Unfortunately, it seems to rain quite often in my area! Imitrex
has been a lifesaver for me!
Tina, I just posted about an RX med I had for migraines, then saw your post. That’s what I had to use and you’re so right…it IS a lifesaver! Mine stopped after a necessary hysterectomy, so apparently they were hormonal. None since!
Oh, Karen, I sure understand about the migraines. I used to have them frequently. I took an injectable (ugh) prescription med for them and that stopped them almost immediately. It was like a miracle! I think that same med is also in pill form. Best to see your doctor!
Love the video Tabs helping you open goodies! He’s so darned cute!
I hope you feel better very soon!
Feel better, Karen! Love seeing Tabs, such a darling little movie star! As for my holy grail favorites, one that I couldn’t live without is Lancome Génifique. It makes my makeup go on smoothly and look flawless.
Was just in Sephora today and bought their Glitter Khaki Liquid Eyeliner. I sort of love it!
I have the light Guerlain bronzer but I feel like it never does wonders for me. I always always use a top and bottom coat. Nothing is tackier than yellow, janky nails when you go polish-less. I do like the convenience of a combined top/bottom like Sally Hansen’s Diamond Shine.
I like CARGO bronzers. I always get compliments when I wear it, and it’s light enough for any season!
I hate migraines! Hope you feel better soon:(
Sorry to hear about your migraine. I get them too (just had one yesterday) and I know how awful they are. I hope you can get some relief. And it’s such an amazing relief when it’s over with! Take care.
Happy Saturday!!!!
I don’t recall having a great makeover, but i did have one amazing facial with Jurlique products in Breckenridge that I wish I could get every month. I haven’t found the same experience here in Orlando
Love your tips!
Hope u feel better soon. My fav budget nail polish would be sally hansen and sinful colors (few of their colors r really good).
Tabs is so cute! That video replayed about five times before I finally realized that it was doing that 🙂 I guess I was just too excited about the new Too Faced products!
Looking for a base coat I didn’t realize how important it is to use so now look for a good oneâ¤
I was an artsy student in high school, but haven’t taken any art since I started college, so friends here tend to be surprised when they find out. Also boxing. 🙂
Love the humor in your posts. Feel better soon!
This is the cutest video of Tabs ever!! Love it! 😀
Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the griveaway. Looks like winter is coming back next week.
I wear bronzer almost everyday! nothing crazy…just a light dusting to add colour to my face. Currently Rimmel and a Sephora brand one are in rotation.
I wear bronzer every day!! I like the warmth, and I use it to contour as well… my fave is Hoola bronzer, for matte neutral contouring!
I have never used bronzer and have yet to find one that suits my fair skin
I ALWAYS use base and top coat. Always, always, always!
And I’m so sorry about your migraine, hon! I know exactly how you feel. I suffer from them and they are they are the shiz. The best thing I ever suggest is an cold eye pack on your face, an ice pack on your neck, and two warm packs on your feet in your slippers. I have a link for a set like that if you need them. I rely on them IMMENSELY!
Just got Hourglass Ambient Lighting in Mood Light – LOVE IT!
Hi Karen, I’m a “former” makeup junkie… Still read the blogs tho…Missing it! Had a baby 18 months ago and I’m still in maternity pants (Comfy) and my hair is 3 different colors… Black, some grey, and some highlights that I put in heaven knows when. I read your blog with the hopes it will take me back to my former beauty junkie self. Almost there! I hope 😉
OPI nail polish or Essie (this is budget, right?)
Feel better soon 🙂
currently under the weather too with this flu… this is the second time since the year started. Love this cool weather but hate how it affects my body.
Going to my local Sephora tomorrow to return my Jasmine eye shadow palettes. They came through UPS and both of them were shattered! Not a happy camper 🙁
Recently purchased orly and i’m in love with their base and top coats!!
Hope your noggin feels better. Migraines are the worst! As for bronzers, I mostly buy them and then never use them. I am the fairest of them all and secretly want to be all bronzey but it just ain’t ever gonna happen. I always use base and top coat too. Always.
Bronzer is one of my absolute favorite beauty items! My favorite right now is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil. I only have it in the sample size, but it’s lovely.
Oh no, feel better!
I only recently got into bronzer! I alternate between Guerlain Blonde Terracotta Bronzer (for fairer skin – I’m a brunette!) and a combination of Bobbi Brown bronzer in Golden Light/Bobbi Brown Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer. Love them both!
I never made a movie but I was in one once. I got paid $150 to run down a hallway looking scared. Kinda surprised I didn’t win an oscar for it…
I always wear bronzer – I love Hoola’s!
Karen, I hope you feel better! I haven’t been feeling well today either. Luckily I have my cat Snowflake nursing me.
Hi, Karen! Never wear bronzer . . . . I’m already brown.
I was a Comm major in college and in one of my classes, I needed to shoot a music video which was conceptualized and starred in by me! I got my best friend to play camera-girl and we shot the whole thing in one afternoon to evening session. The whole thing ended up looking like a music video thanks to the wonders of modern editing, which thankfully, I didn’t have to do myself. One thing I learned, I will never make it in American Idol.
I have been using Dermorganics hair products for the last year or two and absolutely love them.
Tabs is adorable! I wish my pets were that excited when beauty came in the mail..
I have made mini films for fun and for film classes I’ve taken. My favorite one involved a haunted electric keyboard.
Feel better Karen!
I never wear bronzer!
Those powder beads looked like heart-shaped cat food at first!
I started using kiehls stuff! Looooooooove!!
I went to the Makeup Show today and it was so fun 🙂 I am so exhausted now.
Bronzer and mascara are the two things I use every single day that I wear makeup. If all I’m using on my face is bronzer, Benefit Dallas is my first choice. If I’m using a blush also, Bobbi Brown’s in light/medium is it. I’ve tried a ton, but those are the ones I keep coming back to.
I learned a few years ago for Mica Bella, the make up stand in the malls that you can mix eyeshadows with clear nail polish.
Hot tea and sleep always helps when feeling under the weather.
Sonia Kashuk for best budget nail polish! Beautiful formula and colors that dry down almost as shiny as Rescue Beauty Lounge’s formula.
Take the day off! For me, nothing helps a migraine but just hiding under the covers and trying to sleep it off.
I have an Estee Lauder bronzer circa 1990 that i still have not hit pan on!!! That thing lasts forever. Good thing I’m obsesses with keeping my brushes clean!!! It was matte before its time! (Don’t be judgin’… lol)
I think I only have one Two Faced product right now. That will have to change, especially when those sweetheart beads are out.
Feel better! And I like Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess for bronzer 🙂
I hope you feel better soon. For me, Motrin is the only thing that helps with my migraines.
I always use a base and a top coat. Have a great weekend!
Hi! I do wear bronzermiss everyday – I love mine by Trish McEvoy. Feel better!,
I like to eat crushed up burger rings on icecream with chocolate syrup because it tastes like fried icecream.
Hi Karen,
Hope you’re feeling better, I get migraines myself, it’s the worst! try eliminating eggs it actually really helped me among other dietary restrictions like eliminating wheat. Anyhow, I absolutely love your blog, I refer to it before any beauty purchases! Thanks so much!
I have been loving Aveeno shampoo and conditioner very much lately. Haven’t tried a bronzer yet (yes I know I’m out of it) but will look into one at some point.
Thanks for sharing all your tips and reviews, it’s fun to read!
I’m really *needing* the Too Faces Summer Eyes!
I hope you feel better Karen! Love the blog, keep up the amazing work 🙂
my kitties love tissue paper!
I want to try the new hourglass powders!
I occasionally get migraines–they are THE WORST– and I find that Vanquish works the best. I usually buy it at Walgreens!
I am such a dunce with blush and bronzer, I own a Nars palette duo but I’d love to try Tarte! I recently saw a trick where a make up artist used a darker shade of foundation to accentuate cheek bones instead of bronzer– thought that was clever!
Feel better!
Feel better, Karen. Two Excedrine with a Diet Coke chaser and a dark, quiet place is my Rx for migraines.
I love UD
I always always always always wear bronzer. I look dead without it. My favorite is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil, but I’m trying to use up my old NARS Laguna right now (I like Laguna, but it has parabens).
Fave bronzer is the TF Milk Chocolate Soleil. Best value of good mail polish – the new FLOWER Beauty brand by Drew Barrymore – those are pretty awesome. I have 7 now I think. I hope she comes out with more colors!
It’s not normal to watch 3 seasons of a show in one week, is it? Damn Netflix…
I’ve been using Sudzz Whipped Creme and Honey Volumizing Shampoo & Sudzz Fx AquaFix Hydrating Conditioner. They’re really great products, my hair feels fantastic after I use them, and they smell so good!
Nikita meows “Hi!” to Tabs.
Hope you feel better Karen! My favorite bronzer is Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil.
Still looking for a bronzer! No favorite yet!
This week I’m really enjoying Becca’s Ultimate Colour Gloss in Miami. I want it in every color.
Happy Saturday!
I like Wet ‘n Wild polish.
yay!
I dont tend to wear bronzer because most have shimmer which im not a fan of and matte ones tend to turn pink when applied to my face. I love sinful colors nail polish. The color selection is great and they usually dont chip on me for five days. I dont ever wear a basecoat (bad girl!) and i havent found a topcoat i like
OMG – Tabs is amazingly cute.
I’m loving Revlon’s Guest List nail polish right now!
Do you use any facial mists?? I’m in the market for one and can’t decide! They’re so confusing!
i have such a love hate relationship with nars laguna
I always wear a base and top coat … it seems like otherwise you’re just wasting your time when you paint your nails.
Hope I win, I recently got a promo code to sephora at http://www.sephoradaily.com it actually worked for me, it won’t let me do it again, and a friend of mine tried but she didn’t get to the survey as I did.
I’ve only started wearing bronzer lately, to warm up my face. I wear NARS Laguna, but there’s also a light one by Essence for ‘Blondes’ that is incredibly hard to overapply 🙂
I would love to win.
Feel Better Karen!
My favorite quick style budget nail polish – NYC in a New York Color Minute – Quick Dry Nail Polish. I think they’re $1.72 each at Wal Mart. haha
Current shampoo/conditioner combo that works great and smells amazing: CLEAR Scalp & Hair Therapy – Total Care
Take care!
University has been absolutely kicking my @$$, but at least spring break is coming up! Plans? Pick up some new lipstick colors to celebrate the end of midterms!
I forgot that I made up story lines until someone mentioned fanfiction. I used to write fanfiction for a band I used to be so obsessed with! It was usually love stories where the girl who meets one of the band members by chance, has no idea who this popular band is, and falls in love. Those were the days!
I’m scared of bronzer, just as scared as I was with blush a year ago. I’m pretty sure that, in time, I’ll muster up courage to learn how to apply bronzer, and then expand my collection beyond $1 Sally Beauty bronzer. x)
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I just took off polish but I already want to put some on! Maybe a nice red! Have a good weekend
I’ve been using Pantene lately
https://twitter.com/tcarolinep/status/308064231725617152
OMGGGGGG!!!! Seeing Tabs on video is awesome! I’m hyped up on caffeine, at 8pm, so no sleep tonight, but I don’t care! 🙂
I’m under the weather too. Being sick sucks. :-/
Now I want to try Vine out with my kitty. Hope you feel better!
would love to win this giveaway!
Bronzer is a MUST for my pasty self LOL. I Love love love Tarte’s Park Ave Princess Matte Waterproof.
I read your blog and I’m so happy to see your cat!I miss having cat so much since i live in a condo because my condo doesn’t allow to have cat or pets!
I just discovered this blog today, and will be returning.
My fave budget nail polish brand has been the new CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant nail glosses, they have a base, polish, & top coat formula that lasts and is beautiful! I’ve done a few posts on them on my blog, if you’d like to check it out.

Just came back to NYC from Allentown PA, visiting my sisters and her kids! Bus ride totals: 5 hours but SOOOO worth it <3
I’m a pretty decent poker player, which most people are shocked about haha.
Great little video!
My favorite conditioner is Infusium-23 for moisture 🙂
In general I love how bronzers warm up my whole face giving it a natural glow but I don’t like how some bronzers tend to make my pores more prominent ;p
I don’t really wear bronzer except for contouring.
I once had a tension headache for a month straight. Not even prescription medications helped….I feel your pain. Hope you get some relief soon.
Migraines are no fun! Try prescription strength Ibuprofen from the doc. It’s the only thing that works for mine. Feel better!
Happy Sunday Karen 😊 if I win this I’ll get the llamasque foundation ðŸ˜
Hey Karen,
I am obsessed with YSL lipsticks!!! I don’t even know why i want one so bad but i do!! they are just soooo beautiful
Seeing Tabs in your posts always makes my day a little brighter. I’ve come to really love your blog and I find myself waking up in the morning excited to see what’s next for you and Tabs! Thank you for doing what you do Karen. x
Too much fast food this week 🙁
I’m walking on sunshine, yehyeaaa
I’m enjoying my weekend. Wish it could last longer.
Always wear base and top coats!
I hope you’ll feel better soon Karen!! I always wear a base and top coat for my nails! I absolutely hate it when dark nail polish colors stain my nails so base coat all the way! It looks too nasty if I don’t use a base coat and my nails look yellow and old! Haha! I have a bad habit of peeling off my nail polish (I know!), so I always put on a top coat to make it shiny and to remind myself not to ruin my nails on purpose. 🙂
My fav bronzer is actually a Too Faced one: Milk Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder. Smells divine and is not orangy!
Having trouble finding a mascara that looks awesome AND lasts all day! Hypnose looks awesome but smudges. High Impact smudges. DiorShow Iconic is underwhelming. Boo.
My Naked Basics palette just came in the mail, and I’m itching to try it!
I ALWAYS wear a base coat and top coat. I never used to wear a base coat until I discovered Orly Bonder, it really makes my manicures last longer. I won’t do my nails unless I have a fast-drying top coat.
My favorite nail polishes are Essie ones, especially for great neutral colors!
i am lusting after the new Hourglass powders and wondering about the soonish to be released Chanel Les Beiges powders.
and loving the new NARS powders! i have the loose and the pressed- soft focus is so nice 🙂
Wohoo I didn’t miss the deadline this time!
Awe, Tabs is so adorable! This reminds me of how much I miss my cats.
I’m currently trying out Wen on my thick, curly hair, and I have to say I really love it. No more frizz for me!
Karen, I’m a new reader and I love your style!
I look forward to becoming a regular 🙂
I do always wear both a base and top coat on my nails.
I started to wear a base coat and top coat whenever I do my nails. I noticed a difference in appearance and longevity when I do this. For my base coat I use a revlon one and for my top coat I use Seche Vite. As for my shampoo and conditioner choices I use the Babyliss Argan oil shampoo and conditioner. They smell great and leave my hair so soft and the price point is awesome. It’s good for my curly hair, it seems to have hydrated it quite a bit, the argan oil treatment from the line is also very nice. All of these products smell the same, girls with curly hair I strongly recommend!
Hi
I just started reading your blog a few weeks ago. I’m loving it!
🙁
Happy Sunday! 🙂
So sorry to hear about the migraine! My flatmate is a chiropractor and he just started working on my back, apparently that might make my migraines disappear, so I know what you’re going through!
I always use a topcoat and base when doing my nails. I am going to try the gel manicure soon.
If I win the gift card, I would like to buy Urban Decay eye primer, and some make up brushes.
Shampoo: Dove Damage Repair
Conditioner: Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Intense Argan Oil
No, Tabs! Don’t eat the shreddies!
When I paint my nails I don’t put a base coat on, but I always but a top coat on. I found a really neat elf polish I am in looovee with. It is called Glamour Girl. It makes me think of sand from the beach!
I don’t use bronzer because I’ve never figured how to use it!
I’m in love with the super-pale Dior Nude Healthy Glow bronzer – makes me look, well, healthy!
This is my comment!
Awww, Tabs!! 🙂
Cute video <3
Feel better soon!
Tabs is so cute!
Awww, Karen! Hope you feel better soon 🙁 On a bright note, Tabs is soooo cute!!
Sometimes I use a matte brown Revelon eyeshadow as a bronzer. I love the color and it looks great just as long as you remember to buff it out a WHOLE lot. 😉
Drink lots of water and feel better soon!
Is it my turn to win?
I think you should have a video clip of Tabs with every post- so cute!!!
Yay for Tabs!
i love Out the Door top coat. put it on wet nails and it dries and seals them. You can even polish before bed. Well not right before bed but at least an hour before bed. lol. Feel better! i have a wicked headache too. Mine are usually weather related 🙁
I would love to see you a tutorial on a blue smokey eye.
Ulta polish. when its on sale for 2 bucks.
I’m learning filmmaking now and I gonna start shooting my short film this weekend! Hopefully I can win the gife card! Lolï¼
Awwww! 🙁 Feel better! Bronzer? Don’t get me started on bronzer! I always thought it was silly (even though I am super pale and don’t tan) but then I saw the snow bunny bronzer at sephora and it looked like ice cream… So I bought it. And I love it! And not just because it looks like Ice cream. 😉
I hope you’re feeling better today Karen! I once had a great makeover at Bobbi Brown and I wish that I knew where the MUA is working now.
Yesterday I sat around on my refeed day, eating spaghetti and watching the bb men at the Arnolds thinking, “Man, I’d have to have to get that lean.”. It was awesome (and a fun show!).
I love your kitty!
Dallas from Benefit FOREVER!
My fav bronzer is Nars Laguna. I love it … and then I hate it. I think when my tan is on point, it’s amazing, then when I start looking “sick” it gives me this funky looking cocoa color … whatever. Haven’t found another bronzer for my less than tan days.
Pick me, Tabs!
My favorite bronzer right now is Nars Laguna. I feel it is easier to work with and it is less orange than the one that I previously had by MAC.
Hope u feel better!
fudgy brownies! yum!
Moroccan oil hair mask is awesome!
Ahh my tummy hurts! Ahhhh!
My favorite foundation at the moment would have to be the Dr. Jart Waterfuse BB Cream. It can be on the dewy side but with a little powder its the most wonderful, natural-completion for the skin.
I really like Too Faced’s Milk Chocolate bronzer – matte, natural-looking, and it smells yummy!
Migraines are rough 🙁 hope you feel better soon!
I don’t use a bronzer often, but when I do, it’s Nars Laguna. And I just switched to the Color Control shampoo and Brilliant conditioner from Aveda. LOVE!
While I was reading up on Kerastase products, I found your blog and the review you did on the Elixir Ultime! I’ve spent the last three hours on it (even though I should be researching for an upcoming paper)! Looking forward to your future posts!
Haley, x
Hope you start feeling better soon – migraines are a bitch!
Feel better soon Karen. Stumbled upon your blog and love it and Tabs the cat!
fell better, when I’m sick your hilarious beauty pics always brighten my day!
I always wear a base coat and a top coat. 🙂
I have pretty defined cheek bones, so bronzer can look really ridiculous on me.
I wear Chanel’s bronzers usually. The one with pink in it from last year is my go to!
I won a contest got the worst glamour shot make up job ever I looked like a clown like Mimi from the drew Carey show my whole family laughed at me luckily it was free!!
I saw the fattest cat I have ever seen at a record store yesterday. Took several pictures with it before it got annoyed with me interrupting its nap. Made my day
Dreaming of cottage cheese pancakes…..
Awww, I love the video! Vine is exactly what I need, I’ll definitely look into it.
I’ve been using old school Herbal Essences conditioner lately. Ahhh, smells like the ’90s!
I like matte bronzes like the ones from cargo and Benefits hoola!
Tabs is adorable! 🙂 As for wearing bronzers, I love Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Chocolate and Benefit Hoola Bronzer. The chocolate Bronzer smells amazing and applies without looking muddy. Hoola is even smoother and since I’m an NC42 like you, it works nicely. I’ll have to find a darker matte Bronzer for the Summer time though, since my skin gets super tan and dark. One hobby or talent I have that surprises many people is that I wallow Irish soft and hard shoe dances. I am Korean and was adopted by an Irish family in Minneapolis, so I wa immersed in Irish culture. I take a lot of pride in it as well as my Korean heritage. Best of both worlds and boh very different and beautiful. Anyways, enough rambling. I hope you feel better soon! Love your blog! 🙂
Hi Karen
I feel your pain with the migraine.Had one myself for the last three days.Its hell.
Be well
Nars laguna is my all time favorite bronzer!
My skill is that I have a very good memory and it surprises people what I remember about them or things that happened in the past.
aloha
I really want the ambient powders and primer from Hourglass. MBB lets make it happen!…. Pleaase!
Bow chicky wow wow chicky bow wow chicky wow wow,
For some reason you just made me think of this!!!
I am in love with the Gelish nails system now.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I need to see more Tabs unboxing videos. Too cute!
I really want to get the Urban Decay Theordora palette but I can’t justify the money!
My favorite budget nail polish is Sally Hansen nailgrowth Miracle in Innocent Nude ($6.99). It’s a beautiful, subtle color, goes on smoothly, and best of all, helps your nails grow faster and stronger.
That video of Tabs tearing into the Too Faced stuff was so adorable! I hope you are feeling better today! So sorry you’ve had a 2-day migraine. That should not be legal! :/
i love wearing my tarte bronzer! even in the winter
Cuddling with a tabby also! She was trying to sleep on my laptop 😐 not impressed. Get well soooon!!
Vine looks interesting! six seconds of video is eye-catching too 😛
Hope you’re feeling better!
I hope you feel better soon! I have no clue which of your questions to answer, so I will just answer a few.
I have been experimenting with bronzer recently. I am very pale and have quite big cheeks but I have been trying to contour my face a bit with a bronzer. My boyfriend however, thinks it looks ridiculous! The bronzer I use is the one from the Sleek Face Form kit in the color Fair.
My favorite budget nailpolish formula is probably HEMA’s. HEMA is a dutch budget store (I am Dutch) with all sorts of things such as food, clothes, office supplies, decorations etc. and beauty. It is a pretty weird concept but their make up is quite great.
A surprising skill is probably getting the best deal for a product (whether it’s beauty related or clothing) online!
Hope the monster ruining your weekend goes away soon and never returns!
Hi Karen. Thanks for the giveaway and I hope you feel better. Tabs looks so cute! I want a cat so much lol but apartment doesn’t allow =(
Your beauty blog is my favorite. I love your sense of humor.
So glad to hear you’re feeling better! And OMG, the Vine video is amazing and I hope you do more!
Thanks for this opportunity!
I will keep entering until I win! heh. 😀
I just started using a base coat on my nails and have noticed a difference. The polish seems to apply smoother but I still mess it up a the cuticle area. that would be user error and has NOTHING to do with the product! lol! I just a dupe for Clairens 230 from llarowe called boob boop a dupe and it is a great dupe! I’m really glad to be able to add it to my ever growing stash of polish.
MOAR Kitties!
I’m glad to hear you are feeling better! 🙂
My current obsession is jelly polishes with glitter. I have my eye in the Deborah Lippman “Happy Birthday”. 😉
Love your blog (especially Tabs’ ads!)!! Feel better 🙂
I really want to try Tarte’s new BB cream!
Your video is so cute! I have recently fallen in love with Fresh’s Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment because I live in Wisconsin and the cold weather makes my lips dry. It has a silky feel to it and moisturizes better than any other lip balm I’ve tried.
This Sephora gift card would definitely cheer up my week and get me through dreaded Corporate Tax classes 🙂
new girl is the most hilarious tv show ever!!
I never wear a base coat I always wear a top coat but the more layers of polish I put on the likely I will mess up. 🙁
My favorite budget nail polish is definitely Revlon. It’s super affordable and it is available everywhere. The color range is so versatile and large. The price is around $5 depending where you shop. The cheapest I’ve seen is at Target. The quality is great and very long lasting:)
Loving Oscar Blandi Jasmine Smoothing this week
i love sundays!
Eating tons of mochi today!
Light nude of the fit me blush has been my go-to lately. I’m so melanin challenged so regular bronzers are often too dark.
That new Too Faced palette looks gorgeous! Definitely something that I will have to check out! Thanks
thank you for the giveaway! recently i’ve been loving my wet n wild bronzer (aka too light so i use as highlighter) in reserve your cabana. its a really subtle but adds a nice natural glow to my face. i actually use it as an all over powder–for days that i don’t need super oil control =D
Best bronzer- Too Faced Chocolate Soleil
I’ve been wearing Nars Laguna lately, but I’ve got my eye on Too Faced bronzer next!
Always base and top coats! Wet n wild makes great budget nail polish.
I hope you’re feeling better, Karen! Love Tabs in that video.
Hi Karen! I just bought coralista blush from benefit and I’m really excited to try it!
Hope you feel better soon! What a cute Vine video! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
I woke up with a headache too. Trying to sleep it off cos it hurts so bad too. Not a good use of a Sunday!
I’ve done absolutely nothing all day. Gotta love lazy Sundays.
I can confidently say I have not made a short movie lol. I’m too camera shy!!
obsessed with your blog !:)
Looks like Tabs is having too much fun with the new Too Faced collection! haha 😛
Ha! I love the video with Tabs!

Wow, I saw the too faced summer sexy eyes palette.. I need to have this one in my life … I do have a very bad mac addiction so 😀 gonna have to start making space in the bathroom…
Love your blog Karen. Keep up the good work.
Walked into sephora today and was tempted to buy everythaaang.
Yes I once made a short film with my sister when we were in Montana over the summer! We basically made a video of our roadtrip! Hope I win:) 🙂
My favorite bronzer is from ULTA. It gives you a tan look without leaving that orange color on your skin. I really love it!:)
I second, third, fourth, infiniy-ith the Sally Hansen polishes as best bargain buys for polish. Love them.
Hope that your migraine has gone today, Karen. Thank you for another great giveaway opportunity! 😀
Nars hands down makes my favorite bronzers. Laguna is perfect for a glow and sin is my perfect contour color! Loveeeee them
Base coat and top coat unless I’m using the Sally Hansen polish which is all-in-one (lasting power is a bit shaky though).
Loving a relaxing Sunday afternoon…
Tweeted… From @hamjenny https://twitter.com/hamjenny/status/308369401554558976
WOOT WOOT
there was a fable in a herbal remedy book, that a queen who wanted to end her life due to her terrible migranes, drank the “poison” from the king’s cupboard. Turns out the king was actually hoarding grape juice, and the wine, cured the queens headache
3 teaspoons of sugar to a cup of cold water feels amazing during a migrane
I never wore a base or top coat but it is such a difference when I saw the change and long lasting effect of my nail polish.
I absolutely love the Too Faced chocolate soleil bronzer. The smell just makes me happy every morning when I use it 🙂
Yes, I always wear a base and top coat on my nails. Feel better Karen!
I love the video… that is totally how I feel opening packages from Sephora. I feel ya, Tabs!
Pick me! Pick me! 🙂
Hope you feel better Karen!
Feel better Karen!
I like to wear bronzer in the summer so I don’t feel the need to fry out my skin… I just use neutrogena healthy skin and it works pretty well.
I just purchased a D&G L’Imperatrice from Sephora so I could get my birthday freebie.
I do love bronzer, but I’ve never found anything that just blew my mind. So I tend to wear different ones all the time.
I like to read magazines!
Adorable video! Best budget polish is WnW for sure. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
I really want the new Too Faced Sweetheart Beads Radiant Glow Face Powder after seeing it on your blog. Can’t wait for your review.
I’m actually planned to be the MUA for a short film this summer. :]
Thanks for the Giveaway, Karen! 🙂
I’m having a raspado!
just used primer for the first time and loved the results!
hi there…I love all kinds of cosmetics!! weird thing I can do…write in cursive backwards …weird but cool 😉 tweeted @checkkers
Oh my god, that little clip of Tabs is ADORABLE! Thanks as always, Karen 🙂
My favorite budget nail polish is Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Pro. I love the wide brush!
I just read this: Things must be loved first and improved afterwards.
My favorite cheap nail polish would either be Pure Ice or Sinful Colors. They both have a wide range of colors to choose from and you can’t beat the $2 price tag on either one of them.
I always use a base and top coat; my manicure skills are always a surprise to other people. 🙂
I am obsessed with highlighters. I am going to purchase the NYC bronzed in cabana soon!
I use MAC’s matte bronzer, but I’d like to try the TooFaced chocolate one…sounds yummy!
Hope you feel better, lady! As for products, lately, I’ve been obsessed with BioSilk conditioners and Shampoos! Jurlique, too!
Today is my birthday and my daughter just got her first haircut (22 months)!
In terms of budget brand nail polish, I think Sinful Colors is my favourite. Wet n Wild is a close second though!
I’ve been very uncomfortable because I feel that I have something in my eye, and I went to the Dr. To check and he told me that I touched so much my eye that I removed cells and he put me a contact lens to protect my eye and yesterday he took it and I still feel I have something inside and It feels awful! I would have to go tomorrow again.. The good thing he is a dear good friend(optometrist)
I love bronzer so much that I use two: a Chanel one for all over and then Nars Laguna for contouring and extra oopmh.
Lately I’ve been using (and loving) Clear shampoo ad conditioner. 🙂
trying not to spend money because I need to buy a car….ARGH!
I’m sorry you had a terrible migraine and am glad you are feeling better. My fave bronzer is Laura Geller Bronxe n’ Brighten in Fair. it’s the perfect blend of pink and brown. I mostly wear it as a blush and sometimes an eyeshadow.
I love revlon nail polishes and especially the revlon base coat! I always use secure vote or the top coat and my nails last at least a week!! For a higher end brand of nail polish, I am obsessed with julep!!
Always top coat!
Hi Karen,
I’ve used Aveeno shampoo from their different lines for three years. I love them, and I would recommend!
Feel better soon! T-Money get that lovin!
Yep, I always wear a base coat and top coat when doing my nails!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen! I’ve been really impressed with Maybelline’s new line of nail polish. I’m wearing “Luscious Lime” right now (and oh is it luscious!) and it looks pretty good/applied well for a drugstore polish.
Hope you’re feeling better now! I always wear base coat or I get yellow nails . . .
Migraines are definitely no fun. You could try submerging your feet in the hot water in a quiet dimly lit room while placing an ice pack or cold Coca Cola can on the back of your neck for about 15-20 mins. The Coke works better because afterwards you can drink it since many migraine medications contain caffeine anyways and it calms a nauseous stomach.
I hope your feel better soon.
I love Sephora! I love make up that stays on all day long.
This week is going to be crazy busy but I am hopeful that I will enjoy every bit of it! Enjoy your week!=]
My favorite bronzer is from Sephora in Poland!
I wish I could stop jamming my fingers in filing cabinets – it chips off my nail polish!
I love wearing bronzer on my cheeks! Benefit’s Hoola and Rimmel’s Sun Bronze are my current favorites.
lately I’ve been using Pureology Super Smooth shampoo/hair mask as my conditioner!
I love Urban Decay eyeshadows!
Never made a movie, but I was an extra in a local zombie film, so I have an IMDB page. I find that incredibly awesome. 😀
I have recently dyed my hair blonde.I was blonde over 10 years ago and decided that this is the color I want to stick with.My hair is naturally dark brown but of course I have dyed it a lot over the years and so I had to bleach it,use a toner and then dye it all in one day and then i used a second toner which was awesome to remove all that brassy color and red/orange tones and now i can finally dye it again on tuesday after it’s been 2 weeks.I just want to be happy with me.Honestly i don’t care what others think and I just want to make myself happy so I have some new lipsticks and i’m now searching for new make up to make me feel like me and to be able to look into the mirror and say you know what you look great and that will be a great and happy moment for me.I’m 33 and although people tell me all the time i don’t look my age boy do i feel like my age.At this point in my life I just want to make myself happy and express who i am inside and out .
High end – benefit hoola; low end- NYC sunny bronzer
I only sometimes use a basecoat but I always use a fast dry topcoat because my polish will not. dry. ever. otherwise!
Hi Karen! Migraines are not cool…have you ever thought about acupuncture for ones that last a long time?
To answer a couple questions…I have a couple bronzers and I’m very fair, (they were gifts) so I use them for blush.
I always use a base coat for nail polish but not topcoat because that just makes the whole process take longer, Lol.
I dye my hair red and I’m thinking about trying an Organix sulfate-free shampoo next, to help cut down on the color fading.
Love the Tabs video!
NARS Laguna is my favorite bronzer! Orgasm is overrated.
My current shampoo and conditioner routine includes Aveeno. I love the way it smells and how it makes my hair feel.
i love your hair!
My favorite budget brands are L A Girl and L A Colors. L A Girl’s Rock Star line has really good wear but it’s hard to find in my area but can be ordered.
I always use a base coat and top coat.
I love Elasta QP shampoos and conditioners. Their vitamin enriched formulas have really worked for me.
Feel better soon Karen!
I’ve been using Herbal Essences shampoo in the honey scent lately. I really love it, it’s great for such an inexpensive price tag!
I always wear a base coat and top coat . . . My fav nw is Out the door top coat.
Hop u feel better nw Karen . . .
I have so much homework this week. ;_;
I tried a brow liner today from Mally. Loved it!
Oh my, see how excited and happy Tabs is!!!
Where is the warm weather? It is march ppl
I wish I could wear bronzer, but they always end up looking muddy or kind of orange on me!
Thanks Karen for another awesome giveaway.
I finally found a job after months of hunting!
i lost my home a month ago in an apartment building fire (35 people left homeless) so i lost all my makeup and this gift card would really help 🙂
