  1. Hi Karen! I've been following you on Twitter but I am a new blog follower. My answers:

    Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer

    Thank you for the AWESOME giveaway! I'm working toward becoming a makeup artist myself, building my kit and working on a portfolio of pictures, so follow your Twitter and now reading your blog has become very helpful to me. Thanks for all that you do!

  2. Happy blog anniversary Karen!!!
    I think two of your favorites are Covergirl Lastblast Mascara, and Palmer's Cocoa Butter Body Lotion. I actually like both of those too! My skin is a wreck, cocoa butter is one of the only things that helps, and I love the Lashblast mascara, the wand alone somehow makes my lashes look longer and thicker.

  3. Thanks Ashley & Amber for the congratulations and entering the Blogiversay Giveaway!

    Ashley - Glad to be of help and I encourage you to practice and to work on your craft as much as you can. I truly love what I do and I'm happy to be of help to other aspiring Makeup Artists out there!

    Word of caution - make sure to read my blog posts carefully. Unless I specifically state that a product is my "fav", it isn't a valid answer.

    Good luck and please continue to spread the word about Karen's World of Beauty Blog!

    Smooches!
