The makeup and appeal blog Monday Poll for March 2, 2015
You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s a lot more of a regularly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always took pleasure in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you take pleasure in reading mine.
What do you think your makeup style says about you?
Δεν γνωρίζω. half the time when I’m out and about, it’s probably saying, “This girl’s in a rush! maybe that’s why she’s wearing sparkly Chanel eyeshadow and bright lipstick,” because when you do those two things, you can absolutely cheat on everything else.
But when I do have time, I think my makeup style says, “Ooh! This girl loves smokey eyes and looking elegant but never overdone.”
Do you have any food allergies?
No, my goat tum can manage anything and everything!
Except for certain herbs. Μπορεί. I think I might be slightly allergic to cilantro and/or parsley, because often I’ll get hives on my face after eating them.
But it doesn’t happen all the time, which is weird, so I’m not sure. When it does, though, I get big-honkin’ welts and hives…which I know sounds absolutely gross, but they go away in 15 or 20 minutes.
Now, if my eyes completely swell up one day, I’ll probably start taking it a little a lot more seriously, but for now, I may or may not be slightly allergic to certain herbs.
What were you doing at 3 p.m. εχθές?
I was putting on makeup and wasn’t even close to being ready. I was also telling El Hub, “I’ll be ready in 5 minutes.” ΧΑΧΑΧΑ!
Because we had a Sunday afternoon/early evening date for dinner and a movie, and the motion picture time was 4:10, so I thought, yeah, I’ll have enough time, blah, blah, blah…
And you know what normally happens next. I didn’t estimate the time well, so I ended up throwing on some stuff at the last minute. El Hub was halfway out the door and yelling, “I’ll be in the car!” and I was like, “OK, I’ll be ready in 5 minutes!” but I hadn’t even changed yet.
What do you hope to be doing at 3 p.m. σήμερα?
I’m hoping I’ll be doing the opposite thing today. I’m hoping I’ll be taking off my makeup at 3 (doubtful) so I can run on the treadmill a little later on, even though I don’t know if that’s the best idea because my legs are still incredibly sore from spin class on Saturday.
What’s your goes-with-everything eyeshadow shade?
By the look of the sad pan with the big empty circle in the middle, it’s matte brown MAC Cork.
Not the most exciting answer, but it’s true because I can wear it with just about every single look, whether with warm or amazing shades.
Since it’s not too amazing toned, it doesn’t look gray or ashy on me (I’m warm toned), and it’s not too warm either, so it doesn’t venture into orange territory.
I generally use it as a transition color and to carve out the crease, but I also just love how it blends.

Oh, don’t be so sad. turn that frown upside-down. You’re gonna have a terrific week.
After work today I’m intending to finish my employer’s new command center (gotta meet the Thursday target date!), so we’ll see how that goes.

Have a terrific day, my friend. I hope yours is as bright and shiny as a yellow Gerbera daisy.
Your friendly neighborhood appeal addict,
