Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 719

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 more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Matte, shimmer or satin blush?

Matte, please, with satin close behind. I rarely do shimmery blushes these days because too much pore drama!

2. Are you having a good day so far?

Yes, so good. I just finished working out, so my limbs have that lovely loosey-goosey feeling.

3. Mascara in mini packaging — your thoughts?

Is it just me, or are mini mascaras a total sham? They never seem to work quite as well as the full-size tubes. The ones I’ve tried are dry, dry, dry.

4. Do you have a favorite bug?

It’s a tie between monarch butterflies and ladybugs.

5. Last thing you returned?

A J. Crew white ruffle collar shirt that looked so cute on the model online but on me, not so much.

6. How often do you clean the inside lining of your makeup bag?

Um, not nearly enough. If you know of a makeup bag that I can easily throw in the wash without any drama, do tell.

7. Hair styles that remind you of your teenage years?

Big, fluffy supermodel hair a la Cindy Crawford. Even after all these years, it’s still my dream hair.

8. Are you a skin care minimalist or a maximalist?

I’m somewhere in between.

9. A teeny, tiny goal you’d like to accomplish this week?

By the end of the day today, I’d like to reschedule a dentist appointment. Oh, and I need to buy some shorts. Why is it so hard to find decent shorts? The struggle is so real.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
