Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 695

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. 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 quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. ?

1. One of your favorite makeup palettes?

MAC Nordstrom Naturals, for sure.

2. A lipstick shade that lights up your face?

There’s something about Stila Beso. I think it’s just magical, but not only on me. On everyone.

3. Something you’d like but don’t necessarily need?

Seriously, I would absolutely LOVE a Concept 2 rower! Or a Volvo SUV. If either arrived on my doorstep, I would not be mad about it. 🙃

4. Have you ever won any money?

Small potatoes, but yeah, a surprising number of times while gambling on slot machines. I’ve also happened to be with people who claim to never ever win anything, but they’ve won while I was around. I’ve been told that I’m a lucky charm, but I don’t know!

Now that I think about it, I should probably be buying lottery tickets.

5. Quick — name one of the first pieces of makeup you ever fell in love with.

MAC Spite Lipglass got me through my early twenties. We had a lot of fun together!

6. French manicure: yes or no?

On other people, sure, but on me, no. I like my nails super short, and I feel like French manicures look better on longer fingernails.

7. Sparkling or flat water?

I like flat water, but lately I’ve been all about sparkling because my stomach has been crazy nervous lately! Bubbly water seems to help calm it down, and I’m deeply addicted to La Croix (once again).

8. Shy or outgoing?

Mostly outgoing…but occasionally shy.

9. Pumpkin pie or apple pie?

Apple pie, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream please. This, of course, is assuming that the pie has a bomb-@ss — did I really just hyphenate that? — crust. It has to be flaky, buttery and tender; otherwise, I’ll have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I’m picky about pie, man. 😁
