Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 701

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).

1. Gel cream or thick, rich balm?

Rich balm, because HELLO, DRY SKIN!

2. What color is your hair?

Currently, various shades of very dark brownish black with streaks of silver peppered throughout.

I like it just fine (it’s low maintenance!), but I’m toying with the idea of coloring it again. I’ve always been the type of person who likes to change her hair color often, and I’ve had it this way for a few years now… I’m getting antsy!

3. Last time and place you did your makeup?

It was in my office last Friday morning, where I’m actually sitting at this very moment. There’s good natural light in here (when it isn’t gray and stormy), and even though I didn’t have any work meetings scheduled, I still like to be ready in case I need to jump on a call.

4. Vitamin C, retinoids or hyaluronic acid?

Oh, this is tough, but I’ll go with Vitamin C…assuming it’s Skinceuticals CE Ferulic.

5. Butterfly clips or scrunchies?

Again, how am I to choose?! I wear both on a daily basis, but, um…I’ll go with scrunchies, I guess, because they’re the more comfortable option to wear to bed.

6. Did you ever go through a Bath & Body Works phase?

Hell yeah! The better question is “Who hasn’t gone through a Bath & Body Works phase?” I went through my share in the ’90s.

7. Do you prefer rain or snow?

Rain, 100%. I can’t do snow, babe. I wasn’t built for anything below 40 degrees.

Scratch that. Really, 50 degrees.

8. Every morning when I first wake up I (FILL IN THE BLANK).

Splash cold water on my face! It helps me wake up.

9. What’s the last thing you bought for yourself?

This cardigan in red.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
