I have collected Sanrio since I was a little girl and even though Pochacco is my favorite character I love Hello Kitty! I hope that you pick me Karen!

Ooh! I had Pho for dinner last night. Can’t beat a nice big bowl of delicious soup! It’s been windy on the island – so soup was a must!
What I want to be when I grow up? Lol – rich. Not just monetarily – life in general. I hope to travel and learn and experience the world.

Oh, that’s a pretty color.
Oh, this little Hello Kitty head on the lipstick is soo cute ~ :3 Who doesn’t love HK?

It is rare that I can describe a lipstick as cute, but this is definitely cute!
I love M.A.C. I mix plaid and cheetah (tastefully) I wear tights under tank tops with sneakers. I love metallics. I have a curly wild mane. You should give me M.A.C. makeup.

That is a very pretty color. I’ll be nice and subtle with the UD VIP mini eye liner set I managed to get off their site right before they ran out.

Emily´s last blog post..Please Stand By
I love Hello Kitty and chocolat
I managed to make my makeup last through the whole Wondercon yesterday! It was like long-wear beauty boot camp or something. I used MAC’s prep and prime for my face (which was shamelessly borrowed from my mom), UDPP for my lids. I kept my eyes simple nonetheless, topping the primer with first a shadestick (R.I.P.) in fresh cement, then a bit of smog eyeshadow from Urban Decay for contour, and finally some stash 24/7 eyeliner, also from Urban Decay. On my face was a blend of Physician’s Formula Organics tinted moisturizer and MAC select spf waterbased foundation, in addition to PFO liquid bronzer, some MAC highlighter from sculpt and shape, and green face powder from PF too. Mascara (great lash, I hate to say) and a swipe of fresh cement to fill in my brows finished things off, and I Fix+’d my face twice. BOO YAH!
(Oh, and I used Burt’s Bees new lipgloss in berry pucker for the lips)
Supercute! Count me in please =)
i want, i want!!!
btw, i had noodles & sweet and sour pork for dinner =)

Camellia´s last blog post..EOTD
Mmm… So tired. I had leg cramps last night and only got about two hours of sleep.

I think I’m pregnant! =)
I made COsta Rican gallo pinto (rice & beans) for dinner tonight and it was delish!
Me please!
I am searching the web and wondering what the deal is with these apple cider vinegar people, but it is close enough to swimsuit season that I’m kind of intrigued and nearly buying into it. Such a relaxing Sunday! 😉
Pre-ordering Twilight ;p
I made spaghetti for me and the boyf for dinner tonight. In other news I have to go to philly for work tomorrow. I just found out. Great. So I am about to go to bed without looking out the window…since we’re supposed to be getting 5-9 inches of snow over the evening and I haven’t been looking outside. Philly is supposed to be getting more. In other news I fly to Atlanta on Friday…where it looks like it will be in the 70’s all weekend. Oh and there’s a big Nascar race in Atlanta this weekend…and one of my friends talked me into going…My first ever nascar race…and I’m actually kinda looking forward to it I must admit.
this cutester lipstick is so CUTE!!
I wish i am holidaying in a beach right now and having my sun bath, reading my favorite book, sipping a coconut milkshake….i am infact having McD now during my lunch break! :~( i need a break!
I love the color of that lippie 🙂 Hope I win!
ooo that is such a pretty colour. today i saw the HK collection in person and i almost died of cuteness.
so exciting! I didn’t buy any HK except the glitter purple liner, but the lipsticks are admittedly adorable.
I just bought more MAC stuff yesterday! I bought Lusterwhite Lusterglass and Possum Nose Pink Lipglass, and went home and ordered Nice Kitty! I’m thinking my next purchases will be Reflects Transparent Teal glitter and Sweet Strawberry Lipglass.
i ate kraft mac n cheese last night! =]
That German dessert site makes my mouth water!!!
Just discovered your blog recently and it has motivated me to go through my make up stash, purge and replenish! Thank you!
Also what do you think of shadow sticks?
🙂
I can’t find the cereal I bought for lunch. o-o
I had some great sushi tonight.
Sometimes, I really don’t like it when my dad yells at me because of something that my brother did. I guess that’s what happens when you grow up with semi-strict Filipino parents. ):
OMG! More cute HK stuff! Oh I had Din Tai Fung tonight. Yummy dumplings!
I am such an addict that it’s after 1 am here where I am… and I am online looking for makeup launches, updates, tip and tricks. I love your site!
I hope i win! i’ve been dying for this lipstick, but i missed out and its sold out at all my local mac counters. =(
Something random… I spent a hundred dollars and i dont even know how. =)
Its 230 am.. and a snow day.. tommorrow/today.. 🙂
Great giveaway, love to win!

Yay more Hello Kitty! It’s snowing where I am right now…so pretty outside!

My favorite jamba juice flavor is Strawberries Wild
I don’t have nearly enough money for the amount of make up I want. =)
i really need to get a back up of the hello kitty pink fish tinted lip conditioner. =]
I had a huge cookie for lunch today!
That’s a very pretty color.
gio´s last blog post..New Collection: Pupa Plastic Shine Spring 2009
Hi! Ive never had any mac makeup before!
I’m feeling lucky…

Maybe this time…
I had a chicken sandwich… and I want that lipstick 🙂
Yesterday i made coca cola cupcakes.
I can’t seem to find my socks today . Today my MAC hello kitty order will be shipped I think. 😀
I would love to win this lipstick! I am 5 months pregnant today! 🙂
It’s freezing rain throughout the day where I live, so it wasn’t fun to get around. I need HK’s rescue
I subscribed
ME LIKEY MAC *blushing*
Pretty please? Sugar on top? 🙂
what ever happened to bobby socks?
i want to be a ballerina when i grow up!
🙂 and a makeup artist too. i luuuuv me some mac!
Mmmmm….my favorite lipstick from this collection! I told myself I was going to resist the Kitty and only get a couple of things but I have slowly gotten way more than I thought I would! I had chicken stir fry for dinner last night…..damn those diets!
I just found out there’s an ulta about five minutes from my new apartment and I am SO EXCITED! Too bad there’s no MAC there!
cutester is too cute!
Today the D.C. area is being awarded a well-deserved SNOW DAY! I was so happy to wake up and see that the winter storm warning had pulled through =)
Still dying to get my paws on some HK…
I’d love to try this!
I love this lipstick and want another one. In fact I’m wearing it today! 🙂
thanks for the giveaway
I hope it stops snowing soon! Yuck!
I really want to try this line! Actually I’m ashamed to say I’m a mac virgin. Yeah never tried any of it, sigh. After reading the awesome reviews on mbb for it all the time, I know I need to make this right lol! Also, I have a random question. I am always trying to find a good waterproof eyeliner for the waterline. The best I’ve tried is Estee Lauder’s “artist’s eye pencil.” But it still fades after awhile. Suggestions? Thanks!! oh, and had fried chicken and potatoes last night. Naughty grease and salt never tasted so good…
Pick me please!
I got a Happy Meal last week just so I could get a Hello Kitty watch. But it’s too small, could it be meant for kids?!
I just thought I’d reveal that I bought a MAC paint in Bare Canvas this weekend! I plan on using it as a base for eye makeup, and I’m happy with it so far. 🙂
I’m also sooo ready to get my purr on, LOL!
i love lipstickssssss
I always wonder why your giveaways don’t include us who subscribe via an RSS reader.
We have all this blizzard snow here in central NJ (and NYC metro)…I’m so jealous of those parts of the U.S. where spring has already come.

We just had the most snow we have had in nine years. It looked like I lived in a snow globe for a while
Thanks for another amazing contest! I love the new layout of the blog! Really cute and fun. It brightens my day every day!
OK a few things Karen…
1. I think your HK coverage has been excellent, and I love that you’re still showing us looks featuring the HK products
2. i really want Cute-ster, but I am trying to save for Sugarsweet!! I got Big Bow l/s and I think I should have gotten Cute-ster instead…
3. I had sausage and peppers with pasta for dinner last night LOL
4. I need a new eyelash curler… should I get a Shu one again or go cheaper??
Lovely contest.
OMG I would love to win! Right now I’m sleuthing my house for chips! It’s raining too hard to go out and buy some, so I’m praying to the grocery gods that I have a stash hidden away somewhere here!
Please – pretty please.
I hate how I can never get my eye makeup to look the same on both eyes.
I’m currently enjoying 6 inches of snow and NO SCHOOL! which is fantastic. and Cute-ster would make it even more absolutely fantastic 🙂
Ummm this shade is delish. I’m already subscribed. Omg I had no clue exactly how little mac counters carry. i went to the nearest counter which is an hour away and everything i asked for is mac store only. So i went over and hung out with my friend at the Lancome counter
Hey karen! I am subscribed to you via email and I am wearing regular white socks, like 99% of the time lol. [I also want to be a dermatologist]
Would love it –

I had Cookie Crisp cereal for dinner last night and I’m wearing black socks with purple stars on them!

Betty´s last blog post..
Love this lipstick!
Are you going to watch The Bachelor tonight? I’m so curious to see what this super secret After the Final Rose is all about…!
For dinner last night I made this leftover chicken, brown rice, broccoli thing all mixed in a bowl, it turned out pretty good! Socks… wool LOL! It’s cold in northern Canada! I loaded up my ipod with some new jams in the hopes of inspiring more intense workouts 🙂 Have a great week!
i didn’t get a chance to check out any of the hello kitty collection yet while i’m away at college. this one looks so pretty!
I cannot wait to watch the Bachelor tonight!
I’d loooove to win this!
I spent like two hours making Cubees. It was fun.
I have yet to stop by mac to check out the rest of the hello kitty collection in person… a little too late now, huh?
Today I was at Petland, and there was an adorable yorkshire terrier that I wanted… sadly I already have 7 dogs and anymore would result in much yelling from my parents.
Well, my son looked at this post and said “Is that Hello Kitty?” “Hello Kitty lipstick?”
He’s three….
Sigh
