You might be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly 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 enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Well, yeah. El Hub doesn’t need to see me attending to my upper lip hair, aka “the stash,” and I’m very self-conscious about my grey hair roots at the end of my coloring cycle.Sometimes I’ll get these little white baby hairs at the front of my head that I’ll just pluck out behind closed doors. 🙂
- Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Honestly, I am so conflicted about this one because there are days when I just want the stretchy Spandex to hold everything in, but I also feel that if you’re gonna wear workout clothes outside the house to someplace other than a class or the gym…your butt and your lady parts should also be covered by something else, like a hoody or a long sweatshirt. - What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
I don’t remember exactly, because this was roughly… I don’t even need to say how long ago it was, LOL! Let’s just say “the ’90s,” but I’m pretty sure that I wore a dark warm brown lip — the same one that’s very popular again right now — and I probably did thick black cat eyeliner.I didn’t go someplace to get my makeup done, either. I don’t know why, but it didn’t occur to me, so I just did it at home by myself in my parents’ bathroom, which had the worst lighting imaginable.
But, of course, when I left for the evening, I thought I was hot sh*t (although I probably looked like a hot mess).
- When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it, and why did you take it back?
It was after the last Sephora VIB sale. I bought a tube of Anastasia Clear Brow Gel, because that’s just something I usually do on the VIB sales (I go through brow gels quickly), but then when I got home and opened the drawer where I keep my brow products, I realized, “Oh, snap! There are like six clear brow gels here…” So I returned the new one. - Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
My favorite one is the MAC Brooke Shields Gravitas palette, because of its combination of warm and cool neutrals, and because I just think the colors are incredibly flattering. It has a lot of my favorite MAC eyeshadows like Soft Brown, Satin Taupe, Carbon and Shroom, but there are also some purples and khakis that make it more flexible than the average beige-brown neutrals palette.This time around, I also think that the quality of the shadows in the palette rose to the level of MAC’s single pan shadows, which hasn’t always been the case with MAC palettes.
Your turn. 🙂 Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em!
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Happy Monday, my friend. 🙂 Are there any barbecues or swimming pools in your Memorial Day future? I hope so. Neither one for me, though, because it’s actually kind of chilly here… The Bay Area is doing its weird weather thing, where the days start out cloudy but then warm up a little in the afternoon, so that’s when I’ll hopefully be catching some rays and doing some window shopping at the Corte Madera mall.
Have a good holiday. I’ll talk to you soon.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Ditto to your #1
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Do! I like to be comfortable and sometimes I just need a change from jeans.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
Probably none or very little.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
Haven’t taken anything back in forever.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Although I have UB Naked 1 and like it .. it’s not a fav. I really like the Two faced matte palette even though there are a few darker shades that probably wouldn’t qualify as a “nude” palette, but out of all my stuff .. it’s my fav.
Monica.
Hope you had a nice weekend, Monica!
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? Nope! Though things that happen in the shower generally aren’t seen anyways 🙂
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? A total do. My butt is showing? I forgot how much I care in the back pocket of the jeans I’m never going to wear. 😉 (taken from an e-postcard)
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? Pink shimmer eyeshadow to match my dress. Totally a beauty moment.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? I don’t think I’ve ever returned makeup. I would have returned all of the wrong shade match foundations from the drugstore had I known that was allowed back in the day…
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? SK eyes on matte, Naked 3, Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar, and the KVD Monarch palette. My favorite is definitely the Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar palette! I love everything about it. <3 I have the Naked 1 on my list, somehow I bypassed the immense hype about it when it first came out and still have never picked it up. But I think the colors are beautiful and I would like to have them in my collection.
Hey Ashleigh,
If you love workout wear, you have to try the Zella workout pants from Nordstrom. They are THE BEST!
I will, thanks Karen!
I did try to find that workout top from Old Navy but seemed they were out, but I did snag some tanks and a cute dress while I was there instead.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? No one gets to see anything! Except for my fiancé and my parents and brother.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? Don’t, especially not in public.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? Probably just some black eyeliner and a wash of eyeshadow, I was pretty basic back then!
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? We can’t return make-up here…
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? The Urban Decay Naked 3 palette is definitely a favorite!
Have a great week, Melissa!
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Nope! Mine’s pretty simple, and everyone’s seen it anyways, lol.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Eh… A don’t for me. I don’t get the appeal.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
I wasn’t allowed to go to prom. I wasn’t graduating with the rest of my year (my grades weren’t good enough and I had to do an extra year), and as such my mother said I was not to attend.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
I returned the NARS stick concealer and swapped it for the creamy one!
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Yep, I’ve got NARS’ “And God Created Woman”, Urban Decay’s “Naked Basics 2”, and Marc Jacobs’ “Lolita”. My favourite is Lolita, mostly because I find the NARS one too dark and the Naked basics kinda blah.
Hi Jane,
How are you liking the NARS creamy concealer? It’s one of my faves. 🙂
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
I’m pretty open when I’m around my partner or family so nothing really comes to mind except maybe when I’m removing hair down under. 😛
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Nah. I prefer to feel more put-together and I don’t in my workout clothes. Living in Vancouver, I’m surrounded by yoga bunnies who do everything in Lulu Lemon pants but I grew up in Singapore and Dubai – places where appearance and image counts for alot. I cling on to that tradition. 🙂
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
All I remember is when I asked my dad how I looked, he said ‘Nice. But you look nicer without makeup so don’t wear too much’. Lol!
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
A few weeks ago. I’m VERY picky when it comes to makeup and my rule is that if I don’t 100% love it, I’ll return it. I have a couple of things I need to return as we speak…
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I own one (minimalist makeup chick right here) and it’s Nude Tude from The Balm. I love it because it’s the right amount of shimmer and matte shades plus there’s no talc in the formulation (I’m allergic to talc).
Hi Syah,
Vancouver! You’re so lucky to live there. I visited your city a few years ago for vacation and absolutely fell in love. How long have you been living there?
coming up 8 years this summer. I originally came to Vancouver for university with no plans whatsoever to stay. then, I met Canadian Boy and here I am. 😛
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? I won’t let my husband see me flossing my teeth or shaving my legs. For the most part he doesn’t pay attention to the routine, just the results.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? Nope, not unless I’m sick with a stomach bug. Then I only want to wear stretchy, comfy.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? Oh god, that was so long ago. Clinique mascara or maybe it was Cover Girl. Some drugstore shadow maybe by Aziza or Revlon or Cover Girl. And a pinky lipstick. Can’t really remember the makeup, but I do remember the dress.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? Lancome Grandiose mascara. I bought a tube right after it come out, but found it too wet and gloppy for my taste. No matter how I tried it glued my lashes together. I usually don’t return products that I’ve tried, but that time I was just so annoyed at being persuaded to buy it, I returned it just to make a point.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? Urban Decay Naked1, UD Naked 2 and UD Naked Basics 2. I think I like the original one the best, at least it gets the most use.
What did your dress look like? Mine was black and white and floor length, with a halter top. I was going for En Vogue chic, LOL!
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
The only thing that comes to mind is shaving my legs and armpits. Any other personal grooming necessity, I’ve gotten used to my family seeing.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Comfy workout clothes are definitely more comfortable that regular clothes but wearing them out definitely depends on the situation. In serious situations, while comfort is preferred, sometimes workout clothes makes people treat me a bit less serious.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
I vividly remember that my older sister used a huge forever 21 eyeshadow palette. Everything else must have been from the drugstore.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
The last item I returned was the Laura Mercier Artist palette that was available on Sephora and had the colors from the version that was originally released in 2012. I returned in because the VIB sale was going to go live in 5 days. I didn’t repurchase during th sale, however, because a couple reviews said the colors were extremely easy to blend and resulted in muddy eye looks.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I own the original Urban Decay Naked palette but I’m too scared to use it because most of the colors are really sparkly and light… I’ve been meaning to invest in some matte crease shades but other expenses keep coming up. The only other neutral toned palette I own is from the now discontinued Charlotte Ronson Lin and it’s called Henrietta. I mainly use the two brown shades and a matte dark brown from a small Stila palette. The Charlotte Ronson palette has to be my favorite.
Hi Brittany,
If you ever need matte crease recs please let me know! I have quite a few that I use and love. Off the top of my head: MAC Cork, MAC Soft Brown, MAC Brun, MAC Saddle…
Have a great week. 🙂
I don’t want them to see me shaving my armpits. I don’t like wearing workout clothes except from the gym. At the prom I wore little makeup. I haven’t returned any make up back. I like the “pupa” pallette with lovely colors.
GIRL, I’m with you on that! I don’t want anyone to see me shaving my armpits, either.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Not really. I don’t think I’d Instagram a Brazillian but I’m pretty open booked.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Certainly a do for me. Yoga pants and sports bra’s are lounge and shleppy outing staples.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
Purple eyeshadow and black eyeliner to every single one!
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
It was before my wedding, I had gotten MUFE HD foundation and it gave me a weeping rash. Never reacted like that to a foundation before. Worst timing ever.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I only have one, it’s from the Tarte Treasures of the Amazon set. I’d like to add the re-released LM Artist and Naked 3 to my stash. I’d also consider Naked Basics 2 but the colors are similar to the 3 neutral shades in my Tarte palette. I’ll probably replace it once I hit pan with the UD.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Most of them! I feel silly if someone is watching me slather on skincare or a gazillion makeup products or use a gazillion brushes! No one in my family or friend circle does it so…
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Yep! Specially if I am at home or if I can’t just be bothered. My next easy outfit is a dress: dresses are nice and you don’t have to worry if the shirt that matches those trousers has been ironed or if that skirt is in the wash!
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
No proms here, but I remember that we went out on the weekends I would wear grey and rose eye shadow or a white and grey liner (so thick!) and feel so cool! XD
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
No returns here unless it is unopened. But I did buy twice the same lipstick (the gorgeous Call the Hairdresser!) and returned it for a different shade
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I am on my way to the “palette-less” existence and the only ones that have survived my previous purges are the Naked one and two Kiko 4-pans ones that are great for travelling. And the Naked might bit the dust soon as I never use it!
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
My mom and sisters get to see everything, but other than that I am very shy. Even my husband doesn’t get to see all the maintenance necessary.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Don´t, although I have been guilty of doing it in the last days of pregnancy. Blame it on the hormones (and the fact that nothing else would fit).
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
There is no such thing as prom in Germany.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
I have never returned makeup. Cant be done easily here in Germany, so I usually don’t bother.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I own one that was a gift and said to be a dupe for the Naked 3. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
Have a great weekend, Karen.
Beauty routine time is MY time! I don’t mind if someone sees me putting on makeup, I just enjoy the quiet/private time.
Hate to admit that with a closet full of amazing clothes, I live in workout clothes. It’s a bad habit…anything aside from spandex starts to feel tight!
Prom 1996 ugh! I have pale skin and went to 2 different tanning booths for a “glow.” OMG most severe burn ever so makeup hurt to go on. I managed mascara and shimmery pink lipstick with a face as red as Clifford the Big Red Dog.
I just returned an Armani lipstick because I was accidently given a bright orange instead of the beige nude.
#5) I should just answer “which nude pallette do I NOT have?” MAC warm neutral, UD 1 and 2, and I just picked up loreal 1 yesterday.
Happy Memorial Day, Karen !
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? same, hair removal 😉
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? I wear them when I’m working in the garden in addition to working out. Otherwise, no

4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? in early May, I returned Lancome Visionnaire Blur that an MUA at Sephora recommended but I knew wouldn’t work
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? Viseart Neutral Matte Palette is my fave
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? I’m probably going to have to go ahead and agree with your answer.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? Around the house? Sure! Out in public? No way! Not unless I was out walking/hiking and realized I needed something at the store. It’s happened a few times. Oops?
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? I never went to prom.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? About a month or so ago I had to return a Cover FX contour palette because I just couldn’t make it work.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? I have quite a few. My favorite would have to be UD Naked3 or NARS And God Created The Woman.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? Plucking hairs
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? A do if you are going from the gym to the grocery store. A don’t if you are going to Macy’s at the mall.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? Did not go to prom as I was engaged at the time and planning bigger and better things.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? It was nail polish that came from mail order and only because it arrived broken.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? Yes, from Too faced and The Balm. Love them both
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Not really.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
I wouldn’t wear them out and about, but I often wear yoga pants & a t-shirt to clean or play with my nieces.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
I don’t remember, but it was 1993, so it was probably pretty bad.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
I haven’t ever taken any back, I don’t think. I’m really conservative and kind of in a rut about what I buy.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I don’t have a nude palette. I usually use the SmashBox Photo Op trio in Filter.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? Same thing – attending the stache.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? I always wear workout clothes – but at home intending to workout at a later time 🙂 If I do go out, its always with a long hoodie.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? Didn’t go to prom 🙁
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? Sadly, I don’t remember the last time.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? Dior Amber Design- really plays well against my brown/green eyes.
No BBQs today – raining like mad.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Not married or living with anyone, but if I was, probably shaving my legs, etc?
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
If I’m around the house, yes, but I wouldn’t probably wear them out shopping, etc..
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
Brown eyeliner and some mascara – I’m way more interested in makeup now than I was back then.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
This past April. I had treated myself to the new Nars Dual Intensity palette after hearing such great reviews. It just didn’t float my boat once I got it home and started playing around with it.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Tons!!! 🙂 All of the UD Naked palettes, and in February I treated myself to the Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage palette (and the Cognac Sable one too, lol). I have to admit that Tom Ford is my fave. The shadows are just like butter and basically blend themselves. 🙂
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? My husband has seen it all. Otherwise, I don’t other people seeing me do shaving and hair removal.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? For me, a don’t. Others: sweats are OK, loos shorts are OK. Spandex, leotards, etc. are better left for the gym only.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? My prom was in 1988. I used drugstore products. I don’t remember if I used a foundation. I remember pink blush, and bright red lips to go with my dress. Eyes were done pretty neutral with shimmery grays, black eyeliner, black mascara.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? A couple months ago, I returned a foundation to Ulta. I had ordered it online, and they sent the wrong shade. I had to swap it for the shade I ordered.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? I own too many, but surprisingly, none of the UD Nakeds (someday I’ll probably pick up Naked3).
My favorites are MUFE Nudes You Need (all-time favorite, best shimmery palette – the colors and textures are perfect, and the black is practically a cream), Tarte Tartelette (best mattes, blends like a dream), LORAC Unzipped Gold (buttery shadow, I love that his has metallics), and Laura Mercier Artist Palette 2013 reissue (beautiful shades of plummy neutrals that brings out the greens in my eyes).
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see? Weekly removal of the menopause beard isn’t something I feel the need to share with anybody else.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t? It’s a do. Not appropriate for high tea, but if you’re loading plants & potting soil into your cart at Lowe’s, who cares?
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)? Oh, please. It was the early ’80s. My dress was cotton candy pink. So, I’m guessing baby blue eyeshadow was part of the scheme? It wasn’t pretty, I’m telling you.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back? Gosh. I return a fair amount, if something doesn’t work for me. (Mind you, this is after a swipe or two and a look in real lighting, not after I’ve used up an item.) there were two drugstore-brand lipsticks I returned. They looked good in the tube, but not on my lips.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one? I certainly own more than I can justify: SK Eye on Neutral, Sahara Sunset, and Eye on Neutral Matte/Shimmer, UD Naked on the Run, Tarte Poppy Picnic, Paula’s Choice The Nude Mattes, Cargo The Essentials, Lorac Champagne Dreams, Too Faced Natural Eyes, Natural Matte & Chocolate Bar, and Stila The Natural and one of the Eyes are the Window sets — forgot the name (whew!). Honestly, I keep using the same two: Too Faced Chocolate Bar (admittedly it’s huge, with plenty of options) and Stila’s The Natural, which is perfect for palies going for a no-makeup (ha!) look.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
My mom and sisters get to see everything. Nose hair and stache is something I wouldn’t touch in front of anyone else. And the hair on my toes.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Don´t. I’m not a big fan of the fabrics used in workout clothes.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
I was not that interested in makeup back than so probably just foundation, powder, blush and mascara 😉
4. When was the last time you returned makeup?
You can’t really return makeup in Sweden if it isn’t broken or cause an allergic reaction.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
The original Naked palette from UD. the rest ar singles from Mac an MUG put in a palette 🙂

Yes doing my top lip! I wax. There’s nothing else that I hide away though.
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?

5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Yes my Urban Decay Naked palette of course.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Yes, shaving. I don’t know how to use razors so I Nair everything since it’s easier. But the process looks disgusting lol. The only people who have ever seen me shave are my bffs. We lived together in college and walking around in Nair was routine lol
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
A do for me. Although I don’t work out so it’s just considered a lazy fit for me lol
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
My cousin did my makeup and it was really soft and natural. Lots of shimmering gold shadow and mascara
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
It’s been a loooong time since I’ve returned something. I usually try to make things work before returning them since they’ll just get wasted. But I had to return one of the old Marc Jacobs lipsticks. It was so terrible there was no getting around it
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Way too many lol. At the moment, my faves are still the Lorac Pro Palette and Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Girl, you don’t even know. Personally, I lock myself in the bathroom when I am in between brow waxes, and just pluck what’s necessary…
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Basically on all weekends, I wear some snazzy sport leggings, and a cute logo t-shirt-especially when going to the mall.
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
Haven’t had it yet, but thinking of a nice pinky-brown lip with light gloss on top, and a neutral smokey eye.
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
I bought the Perricone MD No Highlighter Highlighter but returned it because it just didn’t do it for me.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
Naked 3, girl.
1. Are there parts of your beauty routine that you won’t let anybody see?
Nah, I don’t do anything too embarrassing!
2. Wearing workout clothes when you’re not working out — a do or a don’t?
Sometimes I’ll do yoga pants and a cute vneck out for errands but I think I look put together enough and am not rocking any camel toe!
3. What makeup did you wear to your prom (if you can’t remember exactly, do you remember the general idea)?
My makeup was pretty natural– my best friend and I got it done for free at the Clinique counter at Lord & Taylor. I do remember the pink blush the makeup artist put on me was SO pretty and even she commented how great it looked on me. However, we were in rush and I didn’t buy it/forgot to ask what product/color it was :'(
4. When was the last time you returned makeup? What was it and why did you take it back?
Hmmm I actually don’t remember! I don’t frequently return makeup, but appreciate Sephora’s policy. It may have been a single Stila eyeshadow with poor color payoff. Not sure what color it was.
5. Do you own any neutral/nude/naked palettes, and what’s your favorite one?
I have the Too Faced Natural Eyes (the original in the cardboard box) and the Naked 3. Oooof, so hard to say which is my favorite when they’re so different! I’d probably say the Too Faced. I’ve hit pan on nearly every color!
