Two Ways to Win the MAC Semi Precious Mineralize Eyeshadows in Jade’s Fortune and Rare Find

Good morning! Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. It’s the weekend, and a troupe of wild turkeys in bowler hats are performing show tunes right outside!

Okay, not really, but wouldn’t that be cool?

I’m on my way out the door but wanted to give you morning greetings (GREETINGS!) — oh, and also mention the movie I saw last night. We rented
I Am Number Four. Now, masterpiece of filmmaking, it is not, but I’m a sucker for sci-fi (you know this about me), and I enjoyed it a lot. If you liked Jumper, it reminded me of that. Good looking, fast-paced, interesting ideas, but uninspired acting (sorry, Quinn Fabray). Worth a rental if you like sci-fi and just want to let your mind wander for a while.

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but Tabs was originally cast as the lead. He was let go after an outburst on the set (something to do with the catering and gravy). Rather than abandon the project, the producers brought in Alex Pettyfer to take over and changed the movie’s name…

Enough about movies! It’s time to get on with our day, and what better way to start than with a chance to win MAC? You know what that means. It’s…

One lucky lady will win…

One (1) pan of MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Jade’s Fortune (a $20 value) andOne (1) pan of MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Rare Find (a $20 value)

Jade’s Fortune

Rare Find

Don’t these two of the 12 MAC Mineralize Eyeshadows from the upcoming Semi Precious Collection look like little works of art? They can be worn dry for a sheer effect or wet for something bolder.

There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, the name of your favorite painter. Do you have a favorite museum? Do you consider yourself an artistic person? When was the last time you drew a picture? — you get the idea. Oh, and your comment doesn’t have to be about art. That’s just what’s on my mind right now.Second, you can enter by following me on Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message: Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win 2 of the MAC Semi Precious Mineralize Eyeshadows http://bit.ly/iXe9ZK

MAC Semi Precious Lip Swatches and a Pre-Weekend Check-In

Completely and totally random (what else is new?), but this afternoon while I was doing these lip swatches of a few Cremesheens Glasses and Lipsticks from the new MAC Semi Precious Collection, that Adele song, Rolling in the Deep, started to play on the radio, but for some strange reason, the chorus sounded different to me…

We could have had it all,
Rolling with the sheep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling with the sheep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling with the sheep)

LOL! Yes, I think I’ve lost my mind. It’s been a long week — a good one, for sure — but a long one, and I’m really looking forward to this weekend.

Tomorrow I’m meeting my BFF Cindy at the de Young Museum in the city to check out an exhibit I’ve been wanting to catch called Balenciaga and Spain. After that, I’ve got a few errands to run, maybe work out, do some cleaning around the house — oh, and fool around with makeup, of course. That almost doesn’t need to be said, ha!

Do you have any plans? Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re able to sneak in some time for yourself. It’s important, you know?

And speaking of important things, what do ya think of these MAC Semi Precious lip colors? They arrive on MAC counters and in stores July 7 in North America, and internationally some time next month.

The party starts now — well, in my case, it’s an evening of pizza and True Blood reruns with the boys.
