When security reported that a small green man was observed loitering around the company bamboo plant yesterday, Tabs immediately dropped the Tim Gunn jigsaw puzzle he was working on and rushed outside. Tabs must have just missed the suspect, who apparently fled in a hurry because he left behind a bunch of gold coins. Being the generous employer that he is, Tabs picked them up and donated them to the office pizza party fund. After inspecting the perimeter and not finding further evidence of the alleged green character, Tabs ate a quick salad and posed for a few kitty modeling...

Hey, can I borrow your hot tub/DeLorean time machine for an hour? Pretty please? I need to get back to 2017 or, really, any time before MAC revamped their brush line and changed so many of their classic brushes. Like this one: the 224. If you say “yes,” I’ll babysit your cat or bake you brownies. What do ya say? Deal? 🙂 MAC 224S Synthetic Tapered Blending Brush ($34) I wish I could stock up those old 224s because — HELLO, CRANKY PANTS — this new version is scratchy and stiff, several of the bristles have fallen out, and the...

I wonder, does anybody ever just say peace-the-eff-out to under-eye concealer? OK, peeps…deep makeup thoughts right now, because if I don’t distract myself this morning, I’m going to sit here thinking about the three hairline cracks I just found on my iPhone screen, in which case I risk becoming stuck with a permanent crabby Filipino grandma frown for the rest of my life. *SIGH!* In 10 years that $169 screen repair fee (OY VEY) won’t matter, Karen. 🙁 It won’t matter. Just keep telling yourself that… So, concealer. Mine has been giving me major trubs lately, and I’m starting to...

So…what is the Monday Poll? Good question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past gazillion years (more than 10!). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a great start. 👍 1. Where do you usually put on your makeup? It really depends on the light and what time of day it is, but I usually do it in the same place I write, which is my office at...

It’s Independence Day! It being a holiday and all, what are the chances of Tabs giving me a raise today? Or a day off? Lukewarm? Slim to none? Because things have been hoppin’ here lately at the shared headquarters of Makeup and Beauty Blog and Tabs the Cat Industries LLC. It’s been very busy! First of all, this has been Potty Training Week here…which is like Shark Week only messier. Connor’s been learning the ropes and making big girl moves. So far, so good. We’re chugging along, and all I have to say is that you haven’t lived until you’ve...
