So…what is the Monday Poll?
Excellent question! It isn’t, as opposed to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five much 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. ?
The drugstore charm Edition!
1. Let’s go back in the day… What drugstore makeup (or makeup products) did you love and wear all the time?
My favorite brands were Revlon and wet ‘n’ Wild, and I got A lot of lipstick, nail polish, lip liner and eyeliner from both brands when I was in high school.
I also went through many, numerous Corn Silk pressed Powder compacts. remember those? I used to think the tortoiseshell packaging was the height of sophistication! ?
Oh, and completely gross confession ahead, but I rarely washed the pressed powder puff applicator that came with them… That thing was janky!
2. Your current favorite drugstore makeup brands?
I still love Revlon because of their variety and color range (their cream shadows, eyeliners and lipsticks are fantastic), and I also love Maybelline for their concealers and twist-up eye pencils; Covergirl for their tinted brow gel; Neutrogena for their foundations, tinted moisturizers and blush.
Not sure if truthful charm fully counts as a drugstore brand, because they’re at Target, but they make *the best* liquid lipsticks and liquid eyeliner.
3. drugstore skin care products you’ve purchased over and over again?
I’m going to have to choose Neutrogena here. Their Ultra gentle face wash and sheer Sunscreens are always in rotation!
4. Last piece of makeup you purchased from a drugstore?
Hmm… I might be forgetting something, but I don’t think so. The only place that carries makeup that I’ve shopped in person because March is Target, sooooo…the last things I purchased were a lip liner and lipstick from The Lip Bar.
5. Something from the drugstore charm world that just doesn’t work for you?
I’ve tried so numerous drugstore benzoyl peroxide acne creams, and I’ve never been pleased with any of ’em.
6. have you ever purchased perfume from the drugstore?
Hell, yes, girl! My first “grownup” scent was YSL Paris from Thrifty. I remember going there with my parents when I was in high school and purchasing it from the special locked cabinet in the charm section. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ! I also purchased (and received) quite a few bottles of Cover girl Old Navy as well.
7. best drugstore essentials in the following categories: body wash, bar soap, shampoo/conditioner and body lotion?
Body wash — Anything by Aveeno.
Bar Soap — I’m a Dove girl.
Shampoo/Conditioner — Pantene Rosewater is the bomb dot com.
Body lotion — Gonna choose Aveeno again.
8. Who’s your drugstore shopping buddy?
CoyCoy, of course!
9. Which charm item would you rather purchase today from a drugstore — nail polish, foundation, mascara or eyeliner?
Right now I would love some nail polishes!
Η φιλική γοητεία της γειτονιάς σας,
