her blog is not just about beauty -reviewing products like temptalia
she always had her cat, farmers market, her garden, food etc.... since she just had a baby its completely normal for that to overtake her whole world

Yeah, I can understand that there are baby updates now, it must be an exciting time for her. Personally I'm just not interested in reading about that. I didn't mind the cat content, that was already there when I started following her.

I think another reason she is pushing the baby thing is that she created new brand Connor Claire

also having posts about hallmark cards that are paid is MUCH WORSE (being beauty blogger wth do you need to write about hallmark and your experience buying cards at walgreens?)

Who knows, the same thing happened when she posted swatches of the Star Trek collection...she had 2 lipglass swatches switched around. But I tried to make a post asking about it and she denied my post, then I was banned from posting for 2 days. So Idk what happened with it.

Then it's kinda worse? Making post about your baby only to hype your line? I don't spend that much time on blogs anymore anyway.

Oohhh missed that one---good for her. An entrepreneur. But yes, those lighter MSF swatches are duplicated for sure.

No love for Tabs the cat or Connor Claire?- tough crowd:roflmao:

I like the fact that her pictures seem much clearer than Temptalia's. I also appreciated the fact that Karen let other, less well known bloggers write on her blog when she was on maternity leave ( I found new blogs to check out).

I am still trying to make my way through the Star Trek items that I bought while on vacation- I picked them up on Saturday but had to much post vacation things to catch up on. I am going order from this collection online but is this collection going to be at most stores or as another person put it- only the stores in 'urban' areas?

I was reading thinking the same thing lol. I do quite like her blogs and I liked when she was doing videos as well. I guess hers is more a lifestyle blog in a way and that's the way I approach it when I do read her posts as opposed to expecting strictly beauty. After all, Temptalia does a post every Friday about her dog.... doesn't bother me to be honest. I do tend to like her swatches since she's darker than most of the popular bloggers that produce quality, high definition swatches with consistency in lighting. Like you, I also appreciated that she gave some people time to shine while she was on maternity leave. Some of them were actually quite good.

That's a thing?! That sounds like Instagram shilling techniques.

I liked some of the other bloggers posts too. They were all unique and charming in their own way. Karen definitely evolved into a lifestyle blog. Speaking of bloggers, I miss Sarah from Color Me Loud, Sunny, and Messy Wands. :( The only beauty blogs that I check consistently now are Temptalia, Ommorphia, Beauty Lookbook, Silverkis, and Non Blonde (more about perfume).

LOL! Her guest bloggers were absolutely wonderful! And I didn't see Star Trek the collection in any of my local MAC stores. I wanted to swatch the pressed pigments.

Ditto
me and the Non blonde are scent twin .... LOL

Also a new blog that I like and she is posting regularly:The Happy Sloths
she received some sample of MAC It's a strike and was quite frank with the quality of 300 game and I like that, no not all the products are 'amazing' and are a B+ and up.

I want the lippie even though it reminds me of Persistence/Taupe. What's the policy on B2Ming for limited edition lipsticks these days? It's been ages since I've wanted a LE lipstick.

the lipstick looks very similar to both persistence and taupe on T. but I think I need it anyway! I would have loved if Taraji was the spokeswoman for viva glam.
That would have been nice. The past two VG spokeswomen have repulsed me. If it must be a pop star can't they come up with one not known for atrocious behavior?
