1. Mood:

Not quite awake yet (*yawn*), but I’m gettin’ there. 🙂

2. Are you good under pressure?

It depends. There have been times when “it was on” and I’ve flourished, and other times in which I’ve cracked miserably.

3. Who was the last person you smooched?
   

El Hub… oh, wait, it might’ve been Tabs. Have I mentioned that I’m not quite awake yet?

4. Breakfast beverage?

Green tea with squeezes of Meyer lemon and honey. I hope it kicks in soon!

5. Eyes/lips/cheeks:

It’s a mostly Tokidoki day: The Bastardino eyeshadow palette with MAC Technakhol in Uniform, Prisma Lipgloss in Monkey Pirate/Benefit Sugarbomb with a dash of MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush

6. Your favorite love story?

Casablanca. It’s not a puppies-and-rainbows love story, but I like how the characters, thrown into extreme circumstances, put the safety and happiness of the ones they love before their own.

7. Last boat-rocking makeup or beauty find under $10?

The $6 Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner Brush (it’s the bomb dizzle, yo!)

8. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark or white?
   

Milk chocolate as far as candy, but semi-sweet for chocolate chip cookies

9. Outfit:

Jeans and a plaid button-up shirt

10. Weekly goals:

Attack the treadmill at least three times (thrice!), finish my work by 6 every afternoon, eat more salads and get to bed by a decent hour

Haaay, boo! Happy Monday. Are you well rested and ready to tackle the week? Don’t worry — you don’t have to answer if you’re not (it is Monday, after all). 🙂

Let’s have a good week (NO MATTER WHAT!).

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I’m really starting to enjoy these open threads. 🙂 If you guys like, maybe we can make them a permanent thing like the Monday Poll.

Remember, you can chat about anything. Whatever’s on your mind. Last week we covered cameras, beauty products, surfing and cats (among other things)! Do you have any burning beauty questions or movie reviews?? Feel free to share them in the comments.

To kick things off, here are a couple of questions that showed up in my inbox this week:

Where’d I get my green jacket?

The khaki green one I wore in the Milani/MAC FOTD? I found it about a month ago in the junior’s section at Marshall’s, aka my home away from home, and it was a steal of a deal, too, at $16! I haven’t seen it again on the racks since then, but if you want to track it down, it’s by Therapy.
