OMG the spider! How did you recover from that and keep going?! Thank you for the giveaway! I’m also really excited to see the new Favorites for makeup and more skin care!

Loved the video and your recommendations! Also loved your nail color and blouse π Do you remember where you got the blouse and what the nail polish brand and color is? (Thinking of Christmas gift ideas) Thank you!!
I would love this being a mom of two under two my beauty has taken a back seat!!
Hi Kate,
I have been following you now for years. It all started off with your Hair Tutorials on YouTube. I love how you have grown and evolved and thought us all a thing or two. I’ve tried so many of your hair tutorials and bought a few recommendations. Thanks for the giveaway. Looking forward to see what is next π
XO- Alisa
Love the blog! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I love watching your favorites videos. You always do a great job explaining what specifically is good with the product and who it would be best for, even if not great for you personally. I also love seeing your personality come through. Your reaction to the Anthropologie lipsticks, happens to me at least once per week. Nice to know I am not the only impulsive/emotional shopper π

Oh gosh I don’t know how you finished this! Too funny! I’m going to have to look into this shampoo. Sounds like I have similar hair, thanks!

Since being a new mommy I love your blog! Merry Christmas
AHHH! I hate spiders with a passion and SO SORRY that one crawled across your face, in a video no less! I just squished one the other day when my hubby was at work. I was not a happy camper.
I thoroughly enjoy watching these videos even if I don’t care about any of the products. You are so much fun to watch! Also, I am LOVING your hair lately, the length is really flattering on you! π
Also, my deepest condolences about the spider. I don’t think I would ever recover.
Such a great giveaway! I’ve been reading your blog for a few years and love your posts – from hair and beauty to parenting, you are very relatable and one of my favorite bloggers!
I’m excited to try The Artist Lip Tint! I love reading your blog and watching your videos, they are always so helpful!
What a fantastic giveaway! Hope I win. π
I love the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector!

Hey!
Whoops! Wrong post.
You got me hooked in Cara’s iiid foundation. Now my mom is hooked too. I had wanted to try it for as long as it was out, but when you showed me how natural it looks, that’s what sold me. Thanks!
Love your blog, for both the beauty and mom aspects of it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. π
This sounds like a fabulous giveaway!! Winning will help make my 30th birthday this month even better!!
I would LOVE this giveaway! Love your blog and snapchats! ?Happy holidays to you and yours!
These are all great! My favorite is the Loreal Mascara, I use their mascaras all the time, they really are the best!

Definitely in need of the Philosophy Fresh Cream. Thanks for the amazing giveaway opportunity!
KATE! Omigoodness. I would have DIED. The music you edited in was HILARIOUS.
Hey
Love your favorites videos! You’re so hilarious π
I HAVE TO know what blush you’re wearing?! I need that color! Can you please advise π
Thanks!
Hey! I REALLY want to win this giveaway π
Thanks in advance!
The music you added during the spider attack was MY favorite thing!
Hey…thanks for the giveaway!! π
Love your blog and easy to follow tutorials ? Makes me look like I kinda know what I’m doing with my hair ?
You’ll hear me screaming all the way from Texas if I win!!!
Clearly I’m not the only one who loves these products! The Fresh Cream by Philosophy is EXACTLY how they describe it on their website “wrapped in comfort”. Amen to that! Luckily I’ve tried the Dr. Jart Mask and Kevin Murphy spray thanks to Birchbox and have to give them kudos as well! I continue to love this blog for the inspiration and beauty help!
I would have LOST MY MIND with a spider on me, they’re my biggest fear! Well, that and clowns. Super proud of you for holding it together! π And winning these prizes would be just AM MA ZING!!!
Great giveaway! Merry Christmas!
Love this giveaway. Maybe I will win something this year?!
LMBO!! You shouldn’t have edited the video! ;D Hilarious!!

Loving the videos… and thanks for the chance at this giveaway! Merry Christmas!
So excited about the giveaway– Love it!
Oh no the spider! I know afterwards it feels like you have a spider still on you and your constantly looking around for it. Can’t wait to try this new L’oreal mascara, they are my favorite brand for mascara. Thanks for the giveaway!

Ahhhhhhhhhhmazing (first part about the arachnid, second about the giveaway).
Hey! I love the Fresh Cream Philosophy scent!
Love the cat tail poking up in the video : )

I would love this!
Love your blog! I read it everyday and would love to try the products in your giveaway!
Ahh how awesome would this be to win!
I love your blog! I’ve been visiting for years and I love how honest you are and the hair tutorials are all super simple and very pretty! Your kids are super cute as well! I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
Oh my gosh, I HATE spiders! I would have freaked! Anyways, any tips for keeping your bottom eye liner from smudging. Mine always does an hour or two into the day and I feel like I’ve tried EVERYTHING!
Omg I hate spiders!
How exciting! What a fun present for me ?
Oh my gosh soooo funny!!! And thanks for the master list – I’m always going through all your posts to find things you’ve mentioned. And I’m excited about the giveaway. π
Just a suggestion for your next giveaway. You might want to consider moving the COMMENT box to the top of the COMMENT section so that your readers don’t have to wait for over 3000 comments to load. I can’t get to the COMMENT box because that many comments crashed my computer.
I wish I could do that π It’s not an option with my current site design.
So exciting!
OMG I feel your pain! Spiders are not my friend!
I love your blog! π
I love following your blog!!
Love your blog and your videos!! I always learn so much π
Great giveaway!! I love your blog, keep up the excellent work!!
Lots of great things I’d love to try.
Your sense of humor cracks me up sometimes
I would never be able to recover if a spider walked across me!! Haha
Awesome giveaway!! Thank you so much!!
Hi Kate! Love the blog!!
Great giveaway, yay!
Hey
Hey!
Love this giveaway!!!
I really like the Clinique dark spot corrector but Garnier makes a drug store version I’m liking (about halfway through the tube). Also this was such a great video, you are a riot!
What a wonderful prize!
What a great giveaway! Thank you!
Awesome giveaway- I’m so excited!!
While you may never recover from that spider incident, I may never love another favorites video as much as this one!! Those lipsticks….for real??!!? I told Santa about them ?
Three of things were on my Christmas list – the GHD, Kenra, Amica, and Aquage (not shown)…among other make-up & hair things I asked for. Would love to have these so I can cross them off my list and F I N A L L Y try them!
You are just like Oprah…..I would love to win this! Your blog is fantastic, such helpful information….Thank you and Happy Holidays!
What an amazing giveaway!!!
Amazing giveaway!!! Great products!
Thank you for the amazing giveaway. I really value your opinion and find that I want everything you recommend!
Me Me Me!!
I love your blog! I hope I win!
Preach the Fresh Cream!!!!
And, I assume you got sucked in to Anthropologie’s big ol sale like I did? I mean, all “home” was 20% off including the beauty stuff. THEN the whole store was 25% off! I got some Albeit – lipstick and the perfume.
Purology Smooth Perfection. Maybe I should try? The only shampoo/conditioner that has ever smoothed my hair is the Fekkai Shea Butter formula. I use it on days I’m straightening and then add that It’s a 10 spray stuff. That combo is the only thing that tames my mom. BUT maybe I should try this Purology???
BUT I feel like I have had post-partum hair loss. Without the partum part, dangit. I want babies! I digress. Seriously, my hair is thinning. Age? I don’t know what do with not-thick hair. Could I pay you to come by your house and figure this out? I’ve wanted to try that crown stuff you’ve talked about for years but don’t know if it will work on me. Tutorial in exchange for babysitting? Wait, I’d babysit for free any time. For real. Rambling… Who even knows if you’ll get to reading this. I know you are a busy girl with a full life.
I would love to win this! It would make my day!!
I love your blog. Like your product reviews the best!
Love your blog! Great give away! Thanks!
What a wonderful give away!
Absolutely love reading your blog! Yo look amazing is this video! Can you post a makeup tutorial for this look??
Still loving your blog- I rely on your reviews to guide my product purchases! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!
Oh my goodness, I would be so excited to win this. Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family!
Some old favorites and some new products to try…thanks for a great giveaway!
Love the blush and eye shadow you have on in this video! Can you share the names please?
Would love to win this!! Love your tutorials.
I went into Sephora the other night and cried when I went to find that Philosophy Fresh Cream lotion- they were completely out and I am out of my previous lotion. Ugh! The struggle! I see what you mean by the amazing scent!
Lauren, it’s a favorite at QVC and they now seem to always have it in stock and in sets of great prices. That’s where I order it.
Hi Kate,
I feel your pain about the spider…. Good on ya for pressing on! ? when I saw those really cute lip colours in Anthropology I immediately thought of you, bought 2 lol, and then you mentioned them in a post!! I always look forward to watching your monthly favourite videos, thank you for doing them!!!! β€οΈ
What an amazing giveaway….you always find the best products!!
I’m having trouble deciding between foundations. Bare Minerals or Clinquie?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills, as well as fun personality, with us, while also being a mother, wife, and entrepreneur.
If you are a Costco member, they sell the Clinique dark spot corrector online for quite a bit cheaper if you buy the 1.7oz π Love your videos!!
I HAVE to know what blush/bronzer/magic you are wearing in this video! You always look beautiful, but this makeup look is ah-mazing. The video started and I asked myself, “What the HECK does she have on her face?? I must know! And I must buy all of it!!!!!!”. And you are very calm with a spider crawling all over you. I’m impressed. I would have screamed, jumped out of the chair, and probably kicked the camera over. π
Oh no! I’m sure you felt like it was still on you for the rest of the day… hate that.
I made a favorites list of my own: https://everemily.wordpress.com/2015/12/12/birchbox-favorites/
Your blog is always inspiring!
I absolutely love your blog and videos. I’ve learned so much in the past couple of years watching. I am a 2nd grade teacher and you are a great teacher of all things beauty! I finally learned how to style my hair in various ways. I love all the tarte products you use. I also love It cosmetics. You should try their stuff if you haven’t. Huge fan of both. I also started using Radiant Compkex brow and lash serum. I have puny lashes and brows. It is amazing. Got it on Amazon. It is supposed to be comparable with Latisse. I’m also a huge Rodan and Fields fan. I’m 40 and my skin has never looked better. Anyways, keep up your blog. I also just watched Justin’s story. I’ll be praying for your family and I’m so glad he has used this to reach out to others for Christ. Merry Christmas!
