Monday’s Makeup and Beauty Blog Poll, Vol. 771

So… what is Monday’s poll?

Excellent question! It is not, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like the little buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions that I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. A book series that you enjoy?

Do two books form a series? A few years ago I read two related books by author Martha Hall Kelly, “Lilac Girls” and “Lost Roses,” and I loved both of them.

Lately I’ve been loving Katharine Arden’s “Winternight Trilogy”. I finished The Bear and the Nightingale and The Girl in the Tower.

2. Have you ever worked on a farm?

no I did not. Sometimes I wonder if I want to. Maybe I’ll do.

3. An all-black outfit or an all-white outfit – pick one to wear today.

It’s all black, girlfriend! You know how to do it!

4. Would you ever do thin eyebrows again (assuming you actually lived through them)?

You know I always like to keep my options open, but in this case, I wouldn’t.

Back in the day, skinny eyebrows were a huge pain in the ass to maintain, and I think at this point, if I plucked my eyebrows again, they might never come back.

5. Choose the color of the pastel eyeshadow: pink, yellow, orange, blue or green.

Let’s go pastel blue, with a matte black liner on top with a little flick at the end.

6. Where would you rather get a tattoo: the front of your neck or the back of your hand?

I’m not a (very fickle) tattoo person, and I’d rather not put myself through pain unless absolutely necessary, so both are nightmare scenarios for me.

If I had to choose, I guess the back of my hand. Ugh. Something very small and kinda cute on the off chance that it might grow on me. Actually, I know myself very well. I’ll schedule it to be laser removed after a day or so of living with it, ha ha.

7. Which do you prefer to wear: a glossy, grunge-looking eye, or an ultra-matte brown lip?

The bright grunge eye look is fun. Now where are my oversized checkered shirt and combat boots?

8. Wipe off mascara – your thoughts?

It has its uses, though these days I prefer my lashes with black mascara. If I had a pipe around I would use it to tame some cows. They’ve been over lately!

Friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

PPS Hello my beautiful friend. I realized two things this morning! First thing: Daylight Savings Time is on Sunday, so hooray for the longer days. Secondly, spring on March 20th. I am very much looking forward to both of them.

Keep smiling and enjoy the rest of this beautiful day! Sending a big hug your way.
