Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 898


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. Are you dressing up for Halloween this year?

All signs point to no at this point (haven’t really thought about it), but sometimes I manage to rally at the last minute to put something together, so you never know. I might default to my go-to, which is a makeup artist, if I’m feeling spunky!

2. A makeup look that you come back to over and over again?

Red matte lips and skinny black cat eyeliner, for sure. Never gets old!

3. When was a period in your life when you spent a lot of time on your hair?

The late ‘90s and early 2000s. Stick straight hair was the thing, so I was fighting my natural texture every day. Now that I think about it, I can’t believe I had that much patience to wrangle my hair into place!

4. Pumpkin carving: lots of fun or unnecessarily messy?

How about a little bit of both? Mostly lots of fun, though. I don’t mind the mess!

5. Best/worst Halloween candy?

Best are Albanese Gummy Bears (so good). Worst? Swedish Fish.
