Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 631

June 15th, 2020 by Karen 48 Comments

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). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. ?

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?

    As of now? Party oval, partly square.

    I could never do pointed! Oh, my goodness no. They look cool, but I’d poke my eye out, guaranteed.

    2. Hair dryer or air dry?

    Air dry, just ’cause it’s easier, although I’m proficient with a hair dryer if need be.

    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?

    I can do all of them on myself, but on others…just fishtail.

    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?

    Gimme the wash-and-wear hair, please!

    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?

    Both, but I’m in the mood for a good thriller. I need some excitement!

    6. A blush you wear a lot?

    This one by Charlotte Tilbury. It’s been my go-to for a few months.

    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?

    High-tops, ATM.

    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?

    I save it…but I also misplace them from time to time. ? So I’m trying to get myself to use them immediately; otherwise, they tend to disappear beneath artwork, coupons and bills under magnets on the fridge or sit in a drawer for months on end.

    9. Have you ever cried at work?

    Girl, do you know me at all? ? Hells, yeah, I cry at work. I’m totally that person hiding and sniffling in that one stall in the bathroom.

    10. Avocado or mushroom?

    I’ll take the avocado, and I’ll put it in a smoothie. YUM! ?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?

    Short, so does that make them slightly oval? I like the look of longer nails on others, but I hate the feeling on myself, so I tend to keep them short.

    2. Hair dryer or air dry?

    Air dry 100%! I’m to lazy for the hair dryer.

    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?

    I can only do a French braid on others. I wish I can do any of these on myself.

    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?

    I’ll take the brows and lashes. My brows are so thin thanks to being in my teens during the 90’s. So even when I’m home (like during these covid days) I still do my brows at the very least.

    5. Low, middle or high bun?

    High bun!! But I can’t wear it for too long because my hair will fall out (it’s a bit too short).

    6. A blush you wear a lot?

    Right now I’ve been mixing and matching shades from my Scott Barnes blush palette.

    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?

    Flip-flops, every day, all day in this summer weather.

    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?

    I save it. I like the feeling of shopping online, searching reviews, swatches (if it’s going towards makeup), watching videos about what I’m considering to buy. So I like to take my time.

    9. Have you ever cried at work?

    Yes! On several occasions, and I’ve used it to my advantage when my work did not want to release me (I was switching jobs). It’s a long story, and I’m not ashamed of it.

    10. Avocado or mushroom?

    Avocado all the way! I’ve grown up with avocados since my parents have a tree. My daughter’s favorite things I make include taquitos with guacamole and avocado toast (not at the same time). I always tell her I was eating avocado toast before it became a trend ?

      Hi Melissa,

      How cool that you grew up eating avocados. They were always a once in a while thing in my family; my parents liked eating it for dessert! My mom would cut it up into pieces, put the pieces into a bowl. Then she’d pour in a little bit of milk, and then drizzle condensed milk on top. It was simple and sweet.

          It was the only way I knew how to eat it, and the first time I had it in a savory dish I was shocked, because it was always dessert for me. I hope you give it a go some time.

    1. Squavol
    2. Air Dry
    3. I wish my hair would hold a braid!
    4. Perfect brows and lashes for the rest of my life because my hair is naturally straight and looks fine without effort, all I need to do is comb it. The down side of my hair is that it doesn’t do anything else but straight. Doesn’t hold a curl, can’t stay braided, can’t be styled in an updo, etc.
    5. Thrillers only
    6. I’ve been wearing cream blushes by Honest Beauty and they are fantastic.
    7. Flip-flops
    8. Spend it right away or I will forget I have them and it will go to waste.
    9. Yes, I don’t hold back anymore when it comes to issues that matter; race, gender, equality, children, etc.
    10. Avocado

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed? Been a squoval gal for so long but I’m going back to my teenagerr goth with poival!

    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    Air dry, pls.

    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?
    Barely a French on myself. Required to learn all in cosmetology but I’ve forgotten now. :/

    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    Brows & lashes! I’m used to never being able to wash-and-wear my hair.

    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Thrillers only.

    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    Not much lately but I’ve been enjoying swishing MAC Gingerly blush and MAC Coral eyeshadow together for a warm peach.

    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    Slippahs!

    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    It depends: Amazon used immediately; others, months later bc I don’t really shop there.

    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Frequently! From news headlines or touching stories.

    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    Avo, although they make me bloated 🙁

    Happy Day, Karen (can’t tell anymore!!)

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed? Oval; Square for French Manicures
    2. Hair dryer or air dry? Air dry on my days off; Hair dryer when I have work or an even to be at.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch? None, but I with I could. I can do the first half of a french braid, but my hair has never been long enough. #goals
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life? Can I take all? Haha. Perfect wash and wear hair because that is my biggest struggle. Brows and Lashes I can do myself/Am less irritated by them for some reason.
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers? Both, depending on my mood.
    6. A blush you wear a lot? MAC Well dressed and Benefit dandelion
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops? Flip-flops

    9. Have you ever cried at work? Yes. Yes, I have. Sometimes you just have to. I’ve tried not to, but it just happened. No one should ever make you cry though. That’s not right. If you find yourself in this situation, I hope you can find a new job where they don’t treat you in this way. (::steps down from soapbox::)
    10. Avocado or mushroom? Not a big fan of either, but I’ll occasionally have mushroom in pizza or stuffed cabbage. Avocado I like in a turkey sandwich with bacon. (Yum…)

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?
    Oval.

    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    Air dry and mine dries quickly with my hair so short, which I love.

    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?
    Hahaha, with my zero hair styling skills? None of the above.

    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    Definitely wash-and-wear hair.

    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Thrillers, with a sprinkling of rom-coms for flavor.

    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    My current summertime combo: a little BENEFIT COSMETICS Dandelion Box o’ Powder Blush, with a pop of Bare Minerals Bounce and Blur Blush in Pink Sky.

    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    Flops, as my babies call them.

    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    I usually spend it right away. I’m the queen of the shopping wish list, so I almost always have something I know I want at most stores.

    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Once or twice, but I have a mean streak, so I mostly just got even with whoever messed with me.

    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    Avocados, since I’m allergic to mushrooms.?

      Ahh, the Benefit Box o’ Powders! They were my jam back it the day. Hoola is still one of my favorites. 🙂 Did you keep the little brush that comes with the box? I always end up ditching mine!

        June 15th, 2020 at 2:38 pm

        No, those little brushes are the worst. I like Hoola, too, although I have to be super careful with it, because it’s a little dark for me.

        I forgot to mention earlier, if you’re in the mood for a thriller, try The Stranger on Netflix. It’s an 8-episode show based on a Harlan Coben novel, starring Richard Armitage ?(swoon) and Siobhan Finneran (from Downton Abbey). It is definitely **not** Connor-friendly. Nothing too bad that I remember, but I’d say for sure PG-13.

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?
    Currently: oval. I do love a pointy almond but my nails are so weak/thin, they break.
    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    Air dry 99% of the time.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?
    All but waterfall. Only the french braid looks respectable, though.
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    WASH AND WEAR. Pleeeease.
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Thrillers! (I now have Michael Jackson stuck in my head)
    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    Colourpop’s Blush Stix in More Is More, a pinky coral
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    Flip-flops for right now
    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    If it’s Target, right away. Department store? Save it. I still have a Macy’s card stashed away somewhere from like, two years ago.
    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Not too often at this job, but yes. Stairwell is the cry zone, and so was the fence by the construction site next door (also good to yell at the construction because no one could hear it. Very cathartic.)
    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    Why do you have to make me chose!? Can’t I pick both?? Sometimes I even eat them together!

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed? Squoval.
    2. Hair dryer or air dry? In a hurry, going out hair dryer. Staying home, don’t care who sees the frizz, air dry.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch? All of them on others. My hair isn’t long enough for any of those. Once Lucy was retired from competition, I would practice all of those on her mane. Lol. I had such a patient mare.
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life? Either.
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers? Rom-coms, especially Korean ones. Then again I’ve seen some good Korean thrillers too.
    6. A blush you wear a lot? Rosacea. Sigh.
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops? Flip-flops
    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it? I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a gift card. I’d probably save it until I had a good idea of what to spend it on.
    9. Have you ever cried at work? Nope.
    10. Avocado or mushroom? Both

        June 15th, 2020 at 3:07 pm

        Yeah, she was a gem. She had a super thick mane, so if it was too short it would start to stick up instead of lying flat. When we retired her we let her mane grow, but after a certain length it just got ratty and started tangling and it would half come out, so we just trimmed it to a moderately long length. Even when she was out in pasture we’d go out and groom her every weekend to every other weekend. She enjoyed being curried and brushed, especially that itchy spot on her belly. She loved the warm, moist towels I would bring to wipe her eyes and muzzle.
        This July it will be two years since she crossed the rainbow bridge, but I still think about her alot and she still appears in my dreams.

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed? Squoval, always. I knock the corners off square nails, round nails look funny on my fingers, and pointy would break off or I’d poke my eye out.
    2. Hair dryer or air dry? Air dry.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch? I can do a sloppy French braid on myself and others, but that’s it. I want to get better. I love braids.
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life? Hair.
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers? Non bloody thrillers, smart ones. But I love a rom com too.
    6. A blush you wear a lot? Glossier cloud paint in puff.
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops? Flip flops.
    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it? I usually spend it right away.
    9. Have you ever cried at work? When I used to work, yes. I’m a stay at home mom, so still yes.
    10. Avocado or mushroom? Avocado! I don’t like mushrooms.

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?
    Short and squared-off now. It’s the pandemic trim, more serviceable than sexy.
    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    Hair dryer usually. Air dry seems to encourage wonky lumps.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?
    French, and I had to google the other styles! Most times my thin hair is just free and loose or in a low pony.
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    Perfect wash-and-wear hair. Mascara fixes my otherwise invisible lashes and glasses cover the brows anyway.
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Thrillers, as long as they’re not gory or…too thrilling. ?
    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    Huh…haven’t worn any since February, since I live alone and mask up to go out. Before that, Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in Candy was a staple. A less pricey (and less antique!) fave is Milani Baked Blush in Bella Bellini. Gorgeous!
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    High-tops. Flip-flops are more like trip-flops on me.
    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    Save it, save it, save it! You never know when the rainy day (or pandemic) will arrive.
    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Yes — couldn’t hide it, either.
    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    As a color, avocado. As a food, mushroom, though I’m not particularly fond of either.

          GIRL. If I don’t do laundry every few days I’m buried underneath a mountain of it by Friday! Seriously. I actually set reminders to do a load every other day.

          You know what also haunts me? Vacuuming. It’s the same thing. If I don’t do a little bit every other day, I end up pushing that dumb ass contraption for 45 minutes on the weekend!

    Lately just air dry since it’s been so warm and humid lately. I get all sweaty turning on the hair dryer.

    French braid on myself, but it doesn’t look great.

    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    Perfect hair for sure! It would take less time and effort to perfect the brows and lashes.

    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Both. Just depends on my mood.

    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    There’s one from Wet ‘n’ Wild that I wear often, but I can’t think of the name. It’s a nice peachy-pink.

    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    In the summer, I love the ease of flip flops.

    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    I usually save it.

    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Yes, but not about work stuff, usually personal stuff.

    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    Avocado!

    Happy Monday!

        Seriously! I feel like I need another shower afterwards. I have heard good things about the Revlon One Step drying tool, but haven’t tried it yet.

          I’ve had pretty good experiences with Revlon hair tools. They don’t perform as well as the $$$ tools, but they’re good for drugstore.

      Flip flops are borderline dangerous for me! The front of my flip flops always catches on the sidewalk, and I’ve almost seriously bit it a few times. 🙁

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?

    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    Air.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?
    However they end up. They break too often for me to bother shaping them.
    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    Put it in braids or on bendy foam rods, and then air dry. Unless I have it short-then I can go back and forth between that and just air dry. My hair’s naturally straight, but I don’t like the straight look when it’s long.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?
    All of them on others or my dolls, but probably just Dutch on myself.
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    Wash-and-wear hair-I already have good brows and decent lashes.
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Both.
    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    I usually rotate between 5 different shades of Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes-Unstoppable (peach/apricot), Paaarty (nude pink-I’m wearing it now!), Dollface (bright pink), Blushing Bride (dark rose pink), and Natural Beauty (technically red, but usually goes on deep pink).
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    High-tops, although I do think those flip-flops with the little wedge heel (and usually rhinestone straps) on them are cute.
    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    Usually save it, but if I ever get a Sephora gift card, I’ll probably spend it right away.
    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Yeah, usually if I get into a weird mood and put off my break for too long.
    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    I don’t actually like either, but if I had to pick one, probably mushroom.

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed? Square. My nails aren’t very strong, and I do a lot of work with my hands, so I need square with slightly rounded corners. If I could have any shape, though, I’d try long coffin nails.

    2. Hair dryer or air dry? Air is easier and better for my hair. I only use a hair dryer for special occasion styling.

    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch? None of these. I can only do a basic 3-strand braid.

    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life? No contest: Perfect wash-and-wear hair. My hair is fine, thick, and super straight. It refuses to hold curls or styles, regardless of what any stylists, or I, do to it. My hair has driven many a smug salon stylist to despair.

    5. Rom-coms or thrillers? Thrillers.

    6. A blush you wear a lot? Tarte Exposed. It goes with almost everything. I’ve actually worn the embossing off the top of mine, which is no easy feat. lol

    7. Flip-flops or high-tops? High tops. I think flip flops should only be worn at the beach, pool, or in a public shower. Even if I didn’t hate how tacky they look, my arch is way too high to wear them. The thong part that goes between the toes just gets pulled out after a few days.

    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it? I tend to spend them within a month. I like to think about what I’ll buy, but I don’t want to wait so long I forget about them entirely.

    9. Have you ever cried at work? Yes

    10. Avocado or mushroom? Mushroom. I hate the taste and texture of avacados. I can only tolerate them if they’re really fresh and in a California roll.

    1. Nail tips: square, oval or pointed?
    A bit of square and oval.
    2. Hair dryer or air dry?
    I must do hair dryer or my hair looks greasier.
    3. Which of these braids can you do: french, fishtail, waterfall or dutch?
    I can do French on other people but I can only do it on my right side. I can’t get my left.
    4. Would you rather have perfect wash-and-wear hair for the rest of your life or perfect brows and lashes for the rest of your life?
    This is a hard one! Both would be fantastic! I guess I’ll go with brows and lashes since I could potentially get my hair to look good if I put any effort, I just don’t lol
    5. Rom-coms or thrillers?
    Rom coms
    6. A blush you wear a lot?
    Chanel Malice or Elegance. Mac peachy keen. Becca flower child.
    7. Flip-flops or high-tops?
    Flip flops
    8. When you get a gift card, do you spend it right away, or do you save it?
    Right away usually, I get paranoid about misplacing them!
    9. Have you ever cried at work?
    Heck yes! My work is frustrating to say the least!
    10. Avocado or mushroom?
    Avocado!
