Rise and shine? Confused today am I. Talking like Yoda I am. Kind of out of it this morning I feel.

LOL! I made myself laugh…

What a busy week! Today I just want to chill out, unwind, relax, watch some brainless television, catch up on my magazines, and maybe go see that new Guillermo del Toro movie, Mama.

In other news, well, I have no other news. Tabs is off sleeping somewhere… I don’t see him here in the living room, so I guess he’s somewhere upstairs, probably at the spa, also known as the bathroom sink. I’m just chillin’ on the couch with my laptop.

Good luck in this weekend’s Sephora eCard giveaway. Details to enter are down below.

Talk to you soon.

What folks are saying…

“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

“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. 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)

Working as always. And I don’t really have any other plans other than hopefully going to the mall and to Sephora to buy some perfume (and I am hoping they will have the Urban Decay Oz palettes in store). Have a great weekend Karen!

The Last Drustore product I’ve purchased was a Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer and I absolutely Love the Product not the Price, but it is a concealer that I can be compared to some of the high-end ones.

When I was little 6 years till 10 I used to read Barbie comic books, and for some laughs a Latin American graphic comic magazine called Condorito. and also Disney comic magazines that had duck tales etc
I always was a sucker for comic books.

I don’t buy Garfield comic books anymore I read them online along with US acres.

I work for a company that sends me out to drugstores and grocery stores to set the new products for spring, so I’ve been staring at covergirl, L’oreal, and Maybelleine all day for weeks. eventually I’m bound to buy something. I decided to give Covergirl’s new outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 liquid foundation a try, and I actually liked it! It works for me when I want a full coverage matte foundation that lasts all day and doesn’t make me breakout.

The last drugstore beauty product I purchased was a Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polish in Gilded Lilly (a glittery gold colour). I haven’t tried it out yet, but it looks pretty in the bottle!

I went to a wedding last weekend..and I had fake eyelashes for the first time. it was so weird for me! i only did the half lashes that winged out…it took me awhile to get use to the lashes and not notice them when i blink

My last drugstore purchase was Rimmel’s Fix and Perfect Pro Primer that I bought on recommendation. It’s easy the BEST drugstore primer I’ve ever used, and that means a lot on skin a sensitive as mine! I use a Missha BB cream on top of it and it stays in place sooo nicely.

I could totally use this right now. I’m just washing clothes and vacuuming. Not glamorous at all huh? HAHAHA I’m waiting on the MAC Archie’s Girls Collection. Really enjoying reading your blog posts on the different MAC Archie’s Girls products. So C’mon Tabs PICK ME! I could use this! HAHAHA Have a great weekend!

This week i tried my frist cut crease make-up and it was a succes, even if it’s a little bit harder to do, i loved it and i will create many more in the future MissRux recently posted … Farmasi Goodies

No, I haven’t but I’m going to comic-con this year and I’m really excited to see everyone else dressed up! I love Wes Anderson! I bought Cetaphil Matte Lotion with SPF and it’s working pretty well My sister wears just about the same and has about the same amount of products.

hi karen! thanks for the giveaway. my most recent drugstore purchase was a few hours ago. i bought some eyeliners and emerald green nail polish (all wet and wild, the last time i used that brand i was 12!). i’m trying to get on the color of the year trend this year ahead of time, before everything becomes over-saturated with green!

Just picked up a Revlon colorburst lipgloss yesterday at the DS-could be a Nars Orgasm dupe-it’s called Peony and is a really pretty light coral/rose with tiny smooth gold shimmer. Happy with this purchase!

-Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. I love the overhyped movies like Inception and The Dark Knight, and even the not so overhyped like Memento and The Prestige.. Aaah!!
-I was actually quite tame this week, what with using my shimmer palette for brown eyes from Physician’s Formula, and this rosy blush by Loreal. Nothing daring.
-Last drugstore beauty purchase! Probably Maybelline’s Baby Lips in Yummy Plummy and Melon Mania! Was more excited about YP, and ended up being more satisfied with MM. I love the melon smell from MM. x)
-I just got out of work and I want to go shopping! But I can’t this week since rent and bills are due x(
-I’ve become the makeup guru in this fam.
-Batman. Forever. \o/

I am obsessed with your blog. You’re awesome, you know that. But this blog is super special to me because I am the exact same shade in foundations and yellow undertones, and all your opinions and looks give me a head start at buying and using great products. I would never have tried a purple eye (always thought they looked like black eyes on me) until I saw your MAC Veronica look.

Hi Karen! Another great day in my half marathon training. I ran through the mud and rain 75 minutes straight/7 miles. I never thought I would be a runner but here I am trying to prove myself wrong. I am inspired and in awe of myself. Sounds conceited but if I’m not going to love myself, my body and my spirit who else will. I hope this inspires others. <3

Tabs & Karen – I’m super excited after watching the first two episodes of The Carrie Diaries on CW.com. The fashion, the curly hair, the drama, the 80s! Plus it is brought to us by 2 of my industry favs producer Stephanie Savage & music director Alexandra Patsavas! They were behind the show The OC & Gossip Girl – squeeeeeeee! No cat sightings yet, but you should still check it out.

my most daring makeup look this week is actually what i’m going to wear tonight! A friend is having a heaven and hell themed birthday party so i’m wearing a glittery gunmetal smokey eye, barbie pink cheeks and a neutral pinkish brown lip!

I just got back from a run to Sephora and MAC and definitely made too big of a dent in my bank. Bought thirteen new brushes, the new NARS powder and Mac’s Up the Amp. And that’s after ordering 13 new Inglot shadows, 3 Inglot blushes plus a twenty shadow palette and a 4 blush one.

As a law student in my last semester, I don’t really do daring makeup. Everyone dresses nicer than they did for college but tries not to stand out. I can’t imagine getting too crazy with my makeup. Oh well!

I purchased some new Maybelline lippes (Vivids and Whispers). I am OBSESSED with the Vivids. I can see myself purchasing all of them! *head palm*. Right now I only have 3.JenJ recently posted … January 2013 Top 3

Since I’ve been fighting the flu this week, my makeup looks have been very simple and focused on disguising and distracting from my red nose, and wearing minimal eye makeup that doesn’t smear or run when I have a coughing fit.Liz recently posted … Donating to Locks of Love

I woke up this morning because of a wet nose to my face and when I opened my eyes, a pair of big green cat eyes were staring right into my eyeballs! Freaked me out! Turns out my cat just wanted to be fed at 6am on a weekend.

I’ve dressed up as Columbia for Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight viewings but I’ve never been to a convention! I live vicariously through a friend who attends east coast conventions. But I just love looking at Comic Con and PAX videos every year to see the amazing things people put together. Or steampunk cosplay! I’m fairly convinced that my daughter will get all the nerd brushed off from my husband and I each Halloween for the rest of our lives. She was Luigi from Mario Bros last year and she made me put on a dress so she could call me Peach for about a week.

I don’t get all that daring with my makeup that often, but I did line my eyes pretty heavy with Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner (which I love) and I think it did a good job of making my eyes pop.Lisa @ Lisa Living Well recently posted … At-home exercise and other happenings

It’s been a week since one of our cats died from a liver complication. Our hearts (and souls) are crushed and there’s no word to describe the pain we’re feeling right now. They say it’s all going to pass and that everything will be better soon and we hope so too…

I have been going to New York Comic Con for the last several years. I have never dressed up, but I always wanted to. I know I’m in a room full of other like-minded individuals, but I’m too nervous/scared to do so. But this year, it will be different! I bought a Battlestar Galactica uniform (ex: Boomer) and a Totoro costume.

My last drugstore purchase was loreal voluminous original mascara (which I <3) neutrogena healthy volume mascara (which I still haven't tried) and Olay facial wipes. I'm definitely the one with a makeup obsession in the family :):)

when you mentioned cosplay I got excited, because I’m actually a cosplayer who sews her own costumes. I cosplay as my favorite anime characters from sailor moon. This is something I do on the side besides volunteer for child charity events and work as therapist for sexually abused children. here’s a picture if you want to see. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/24581_387274055886_6842587_n.jpg

My last drugstore purchase was Lumene’s BB Cream. I found it to be alright, but I haven’t used it enough to have it grow on me yet. (Also, I’m not used to full coverage products. Since I’m younger, I tend to go for more sheer finishes.) My mom liked this product, though.

I have never dressed up for a convention but my hubby and his brother have. We went to Comic Con and they couldn’t resist getting into the spirit. They are very easy going guys and attended a makeup convention with me to assist with all my purchases.

Happy Saturday! I haven’t ever been to a convention but it sounds like a lot of fun! When I was young, The Archies was my favorite comic book and cartoon!! I watched that show every day and even had The Archies coloring book.
Thanks for the opportunity to win

Red lips are definitely my thing, but I haven’t been able to stop from wearing MAC Moxie lipstick lately. Its my fave! Too bad its not permanent. At least my NARS dragon girl is permanent!! Whew! What would I do?? LOL

I think my favorite director is definitely Terrence Malick (The New World, Bad Lands, The Thin Red Line, and Tree of Life) because he is literally the master of making a scene look absolutely stunning. Dialogue is usually meh though. But still, I think he remains the fave!

Hmm It’s a little hard to write about just one thing so I will just tell a little about myself and things I truly love.
I’m a mom of two great kids.My son is 12 and my daughter is 15 going on 16.I love my kids and I especially love that my daughter and I have such similar taste we actually get along so well.From music to clothes and jewelry to makeup/bath goodies it’s like we are best friends also.We even make handmade jewelry and accessories together which is awesome,I really love that we have such a great time sharing an interest in something we both love and enjoy doing.
I love make up of course but i’m also a bath goodies and candle/tart fanatic.I have even got my son addicted to bath bombs,I’m sure his girl friends later on in life will appreciate that.LOL
Well I guess I have blabbed on enough.Thanks so much for the chance to enter and Good Luck to all who entered

Karen, I believe you reviewed Maybelline Full N Soft, yes? Either way, it’s a lovely and affordable mascara. As far as high end goes, if I got this gift card, I’d buy some Blinc Mascara. It holds up well in FL summers!

Today I was watching my 3 month old nephew at my parent’s house and he had a blowout but his extra set of clothes were being washed because he had gotten those dirty too. Poor kid had to spend some time in only a diaper and a bib until his clothes were clean. But he wasn’t even mad!

I was thinking about that today….I want to buy drugstores stuff, but it doesn’t appeal to me…I wanna save some money, and buy cheaper, but in my head, drugstore = not good, or less good…..I am sure I am wrong, and there is some great things out there, I just don’t have time to look for it….

I go to about 4 cons a year and I HAVE to cosplay at every single one of them. I normally try to have at least 1 new costume per con but that’s not always possible since some of them are so scrunched together time wise… :/

The most daring look I created was not this week. It was actually back in August. I am in the military and I was in Djibouti Africa for 6 months. There is nothing really to do there during your off time. Well one bored day i was playing with makeup in 130 degree weather. I know “who does that”? I had about 2 hours before my shift. I wore a green and brown uniform there.So I decided to try and wear and green and brown make up. No big deal normally, but a no no while in uniform. The instructions states must complement the skin tone. To men that means earth tomes.lol So I walk into work and everyone had something to say. I told them that I am a women of color and every color complements my skin ton!! They had nothing else to say..

Hola, bonita! Hmmm…I love makeup, but tend to use it a little at a time. The most daring I get is Nars Habanera. I owned Ireland (discontinued) and consider the green in Habanera a reasonable replacement…but is that thing pigmented?! (Still love it though.)Colleen recently posted … At the beginning of the project, is when you know the least.*

I wear the most makeup out of any members of my family, my mom wears a bit, but only eyeshadow, blushm and mascara, while I wear bb cream, mascara, liner, eyeshadow, primers, blush, concealer, and eyebrow products every day.

I got into nail wraps and nail art recently. I bought 8 new polishes and 5 nail wrap sets in the past couple of weeks Still thinking whether I should plough ,y money into Konad nail stamps and polishes. Decisions! Decisions!

I think I wear the most makeup in my family. I recently got my sister in law addicted to makeup. Well I shared my love for Sephora and she went online and surpassed my points. I’m also sure by this point she has more products than I do. I’ll admit I am happy that someone else in my family shares my love for makeup

Can’t sleep which means time to catch up on beauty blogs… I recently tried revlon’s lip butter I was a bit disappointed with the color payoff, not so much the products fault but all the swatches I saw looked super pigmented.

my last drugstore puchase (which i bought yesterday) is a rimmel lipstick (the purple one, i think its called mosit something) and i love it! i love the teksture and the color is fab, and it doesnt have not nice smell

My kitten is named Sasquatch, since when you try to pet her she sometimes goes on her hind legs and swats at you with her paws while standing! Figured you’d find that cute, since you love your pretty boy (:

Pan’s Labyrinth is amazingggg! I’m kinda pumped that you tossed that in this post because whenever I mention that movie, most people are like “…huh?” And no one ever wants to watch it with me because I insist on watching the original Spanish version with English subtitles. Sigh. In other news, my last beauty splurge was last night on (more) nail polish. My hubster said my polish collection looks like a burgeoning addiction/problem…pssh.

Karen hope your weekend is relaxing. I’m “forced” to chill out this weekend. I’ve got one of the many viruses rolling around here in the East. Ugh! But I’ll make the most of it…at least I convinced the family that I own the remote for a few days!

Hi Karen & Tabs!
I’m not from the US, so the Archie comics don’t mean anything to me, but in the meantime I’m patiently waiting for MAC to do a collaboration with Neil Gaiman and turn The Sandman (AWESOME graphic novel!) into a MAC LE. I love Neil’s books and comics and would love to see it happen.
Btw, your Archie’s posts this week? Awesome as well. Blogging on a whole new level. kudos!

I just found your blog and I know I will return to it again and again. Your cat is beyond gorgeous!

I’m wondering if you have an email newsletter that I can subscribe to? I didn’t notice one. Anyway, it’s a very attractive blog and I know I’m going to love it.

I may be one of your older readers (67). I can easily spend way more time in Sephora and Ulta than I should. The reason I am interested in make-up (more now than ever before) is because most of my life I just wore very little, and what I did put on was just the usual – nothing too elaborate. Now I am curious about how to maintain, if not a youth glow, then a healthy and well-rested and vibrant appearance – not too much to ask I hope!

So… I just enjoy watching tutorials, learning what’s new, seeing how products might work for me, and experimenting. I am blessed with very good skin (IMHO) so I try to make the most of it. And the clerks at Ulta are getting better about not ignoring their older customers. Seriously, I remember one time about 5-6 yrs ago when I went into Ulta, no one approached me to help or greet me. I thought about it and wondered if they thought I wouldn’t spend much money. But lately – for ex., I was just in Ulta yesterday at the Benefit brow bar – it has been a better experience: welcoming and helpful. As for Sephora, they have always had great customer service. And the department stores are good too – sometimes too good; they can be a little pushy. Enough about that!

So thanks for being there, keep up the good work, and keep those product reviews coming!

I am waiting for my backup of Mac Prolongwear Concealer, and bare study paint pot to come in the mail. I’m only half way through my first prolongwear concealer, but I just can’t bear to be without it. When I first got it I didn’t like it, in fact if just sat in one of my makeup drawers untouched for quite sometime. I decided to try it again a few weeks ago and I love it now. I wasn’t spreading it thin and allowing it the proper time to set before putting on the rest of my face.

I love make-up, but there’s no way I could ever beat one of my cousins. Once, she got horrible food poisoning and we had to call 911 to get her to the hospital, but she tried to lock the paramedics out of her room because she didn’t have any make-up on.

I’m waiting for the Year of the snake collection by MAC to go online…it was supposed to go online yesterday! (This totaly sounds like i’m sitting with my Ipad on my lap the entire day, looking at the MAC website…well, actually i am hehehe!) O_o

Hi, I am Neha from India. I was a simple girl before. By simple I mean, I never used to use make-up. But recently my best friend introduced me to some amazing make-up products and make-up tips. She took me to Sephora outlet here in India which is the first outlet to be opened in India. I loved it so much but sadly everything was too expensive for me so couldn’t buy anything for myself. However I do plan to save for a while and then treat myself to something luxurious form Sephora!

I enjoy your blog so much! I loved the initial post you did recently on Archie’s Girls. It seemed that you put SO MUCH effort into it. Your posts are always so fun to read and so unique in addition to being informative!

My attempts to find a drugstore mascara that won’t smudge or flake on me (Asian eyes with no creases, oily skin) have all ended goop. Last experiment: Rimmel ScandalEyes Show Off. Back to Diorshow Extase…

I had oily skin and acne prone skin my whole life but now my skin cleared up and MAT Velvet by MUFE keeps it shine free. Since everything is shine free, Now I want the dewy look!! Oily skin doesn’t give you dewy, it gives you yucky. I wanted shine in all the right places so I purchased Mr. Bright. I would always feel like a movie star wearing the products. One person at the mall asked me if I was a model. Thank you random citizen.

I just repurchased my fave drugstore cleanser, Neutrogena anti-wrinkle anti-blemish face wash after trying a different Neutrogena wash that left me with fine pimples all over my jawline. I will never stray again.

“What was your most daring makeup look this week? What was the last drugstore beauty product you purchased, and how did it work out?”

Two-in-one, my drugstore purchase was Maybelline Eyestudio in Caffeine Rush (as expected from the name, beautiful mocha and cream colors). My most daring makeup look was to layer all five colors in the set and it was beautiful! The color payoff was wonderful–much more pigment and saturation than you usually get with a drugstore brand. A little went a long way! I also made sure to use primer, so the look stayed all day and into the night with no fallout, yay!

The last drugstore beauty item I bought were two Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liners in Everlast (black) and Forever (a golden bronze). I wanted the light green, but it looks like they don’t make it anymore. In fact, it looks like they may have revamped the liners because all the ones in the display had “NEW” stickers on them, they discontinued a few of the colors, & the constancy looks much thinker than what I’ve seen mentioned online. I was hoping these would be a good cheaper liquid liner to practice with, instead of the UD 24/7 one that came with the last UD Box of Shadows.

Favorite Graphic Novel: The Exile (Outlander Series-Read the first book before reading the graphic novel. FYI-I have read the entire Outlander Series 4 times in the past year and I am currently listening my way through the series. If you are a writer, once you read Outlander, nothing else can compare.)

I just found your website today because I was googling peach eyeshadows. I love beauty blogs and am pumped to find another fun one- especially one with cats on it! I’m watching Downtown Abbey and drinking some hot tea. And googling makeup/skincare sites like a true junkie.

I am SO happy that I “stumbled” upon your blog! I have really enjoyed your blogs, with the many beautiful pics you post, and your witty humor. My favorite so far has been the Archies MAC makeup reviews.
The last thing that I have bought from the drugstores was the eyeshadow palette from Wet n Wild in Comfort Zone. The colors are pretty rich, and the price was great (buy one get 50% off). The palette is great to work with, and it is what I like to take on trips since they are so cheap, and easy to replace.

I wanted to go to Comic Con in San Diego this summer…just getting REALLY in Doctor Who…but I’m booked for major surgery and can’t go. So sad…I totally would have dressed up as River Song…I have her hair

I love makeup and I have no one in my family loves makeup more than I do. I wish they did because when I’m explaining why I’m geeking out over a palette or lip color, they would understand instead of giving me the side eye.

my last drugstore makeup product was yesterday! i went into boots and got an UNE lipstick. i’ve never heard of the brand before so thought i’d give it a try.. and am loving it! its a 100% organic brand apparently and there is a huge variety of shades!

So I recently just bought the Maybellone Dream Smooth Moouse in the shade 240 Natural Beige and I really like it. The only problem is, when I put it on, it looks great, but when I take a picture with it, it looks SO WHITE!!!! It confuses me. I have a really hard time trying to match my skin with the right shade of foundation. And it’s especially hard at a drugstore because you can’t actually try it on. Also, I’ve been trying to contour my face, but I don’t think I’m doing it right. I guess I will just have to watch more YouTube videos, haha.

Just recently discovered that a coworker and I have a shared love of cosmetics,skincare products and sephora !! Oh my !! Last drugstore makeup I purchased was Maybelline falsies mascara.Like it, but am still loving the guerlain maxi lash more

I ALMOST made it all of January without ordering…but my birthday is soon so it was time to fail. Then UD released those $!@# Oz palettes so there was orders #1/2. (You have to split them up to get more perks, rights?) And Sephora got the UD Smoked pencils back in stock in their sale section and I was going to get them on UD.com but happy to start building points at Sephora for VIB next year. So that was order #3.

Yeah. 4 orders in 2+ weeks. I. Have. PROBLEMS.

So…I promise I will make NO orders (except that Smashbox one) in February/March. No matter what… UNLESS – I get that $50 gift card. Then all bets are off.

The last makeup item I bought from the drugstore was one of the L’oreal infallible shadows, and a Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadow. That was when they first came out, actually- I don’t have a makeup budget anymore so winning this would be awesome!

Karen!! I finally put in an order for the Chanel loose powder about 5 minutes ago. I’m SO excited..good thing NM is from Dallas, so it will arrive quickly. Hopefully I will get the same “Chanel effect” that you did. LOL. Also dragged the hubby to Ulta today..he actually convinced me to buy the Clarisonic brush heads that come in a pack of 4 while I was browsing around trying to see what else I could get with the 20% off coupon. It was definitely a good deal..he’s a bargain shopper, I say! Hope you have a great week ahead.
