1. Sunscreen — lotion or spray?
For my body, I like to do lotion first thing in the morning for my first layer, then touchups throughout the day using a spray.
As for my face, the routine is a little more complicated (story of my makeup life, ha). When I’m not wearing makeup, I’ll usually start with a lotion, then do touchups with either a lotion or spray throughout the day…so when I’m not wearing makeup, it’s pretty straightforward; however, if I will be wearing makeup, then I’ll do two layers of lotion, starting with the first layer, then waiting 10 minutes, then applying the second, waiting a bit more, and THEN I’ll do my makeup.
It’s a process.
2. Cream shadow stick, or liquid eyeshadow with a doe-foot applicator?
As of today, at this moment, let’s go with the cream shadow stick…but that could change at any minute!
3. For your mascara, pick two: waterproof, lengthening, thickening or curling?
Lengthening and curling please!
4. How do you feel about brushed up eyebrows?
I used to LOVE them. Now? Not so much, at least on me. I used to feel like they looked Cara Delevingne-style voluminous, but lately I’ve felt like they’re outright aggressive. Maybe it’s because I don’t have as much natural collagen plumping up my cheeks as I get more and more into my 40s? All I know is, the older I get, the more flattering a softer, less structured and defined brow suits me.
5. Name a type of beauty product you’ve never tried.
Hmm… I’ve never used a tanning lotion. (Really don’t have a need to, LOL.)
6. If you had to microblade your own brows, how do you think you’d do?
Honestly, I don’t know. If I were numbed beyond belief, then maybe not so terribly? They’d be doable, I think…
Now, if, instead, I didn’t have anything to dull the pain? Girl, those brows would be a fright. I just know I’d get halfway through the first one before chickening out on the rest.
7. Choose one brightly colored eyeliner to wear: neon green, cobalt blue, amethyst purple.
Amethyst purple.
8. What do you want on your ice cream sundae?
A smattering of chopped roasted nuts and a maraschino cherry. 😸 I’d also like two small sides of chocolate sauce and caramel sauce! That way I can pick and choose from each.
9. Favorite place to get books?
It used to be the library, but I haven’t been there since pre-Covid times. Lately, I’ve been getting books from an independent bookstore in town called Copperfield’s. It’s mellow inside, and they have a good selection for a bookstore so much smaller than a typical Barnes & Noble. Of course, even if you can’t find the book you want, they’ll order it for you.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.P.S. Beautiful girl, you’re doing so well. Keep on going, and when you start feeling stuck, remember that you’re tougher than you know! You can get through whatever it is you need to get through. 🤗
