Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 665

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. High-rise, mid-rise or low-rise pants?

High-rise always and forever, mid-rise if I’m desperate, low-rise…NEVER. I rue the day low-rise pants came into my life, hahaha!

2. A drugstore skin care item you swear by?

CeraVe Healing Ointment is the stuff!

3. Would you rather have expensive hair care products or expensive skincare products?

While I would love both, right now I’ll go with expensive skincare please. 😁

4. (Fill in the blank) is the key.

Communication is the key (because nobody can read your mind, obvs). Sleep is the key. Having comfortable underwear is the key. Coffee is the key. Patience is the key… Seriously, we could be here all day… There are so many key things!

5. Something you’d like to eat today?

I’ve had a request from my sous-chef to make her lemon tagliatelle pasta for dinner, and that sounds good to my tummy, so that’s happening later on today.

6. Which would you rather have — 1) an uninterrupted eight hours of sleep, 2) the laundry folded and put away, or 3) a clean house?

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Ohhhh, but if I have to pick one (BOO), I’ll go with a clean house.

7. Something unusual that you keep in your purse?

I don’t know how unusual it is, but I always have some sort of snack food — a protein bar, juice pouch, applesauce, etc. — just in case someone around me gets hungry (I’m mostly referring to myself). Food is the fastest way to thwart crabbiness! You can quote me on that. LOL!

8. Avocado toast — so good or so gross?

So good when I’m in the mood for it, but I don’t normally crave it, ya know?

9. A makeup brand that you’ve been into lately?

Honest Beauty. I never feel like their makeup is trying too hard, if that makes any sense. It’s just enough to get the job done, which has been my style as of late.

This week I’m trying their Get It Together Eyeshadow Palette, which I’m excited about because of the very wearable neutrals. They also included a straight-up matte black and beige eyeshadows, which are always super handy to have around. I’m hoping the powders are easy to blend because my blending skills are SHOT!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
