So…what is the Tuesday 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 Tuesday 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. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
I’ll take a vanilla milkshake and a cheeseburger ? please! — no onions, but with extra pickles. Also, a side of fries, even though I’m going to give most of them to whomever sits next to me because I think In-N-Out fries are a sad, limp travesty… I only like having them around so I can dip a few into my vanilla shake!
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
I’ve tried a few. With the exception of the famously fancy SK-II sheet mask (which really does make a difference in radiance!), I’m not really into ’em. I don’t like that the sheets come out so slimy and cold (gross), and how the eye and nose holes are always a little off and never fit my face quite right. Also, I tend to wear them longer than the recommended time, so they end up getting all crispy at the edges, which makes me shiver.
I’d rather do a traditional non-sheet mask any old day. I think they’re more comfortable, and I don’t have to hold my head all weird to keep them on.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
UM, DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU’RE TALKING TO? The answer to this question is, of course, yes.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
I am! Although I can’t believe that after hearing “Winter is coming” for so many years, Winter in GoT is actually here.
All I have to say is that I hope Jon Snow and Khaleesi hurry up and make the GoT baby I’ve been dreaming about. MAKE IT HAPPEN, KIDS!
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
Driving in my ’95 Honda Civic late at night on highway 80 while listening to Stone Temple Pilots on tape.
What’s up, Tuesday?
Hiya, friend and happy Tuesday to ya. I’m in the mood to paint…as in paint my face. I feel the need to feed my inner artist and do something colorful today, which is why I’ve got the new MAC eL Seed palette sitting in front of me.
I dunno, though… Is it possible to do a 10-minute makeup look with bright colors like these without it turning into a complete catastrophe? I can see myself going there — to that place where blending goes very wrong, very fast! — with this one. Hmm… Maybe if I just stick to a neutral color on the lid (like one of the light tans) and perhaps one of the brighter colors like the pink or a blue as liner? What do you think?
Anywho, I hope your Tuesday is going well so far. Let me know how your day is going.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

-cheeseburger with everything. Fried onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato and sauce. No fries or beverages for me!
2. What do you think of sheet masks?

3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
– change cat into dog and yes!!
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
– the boyfriend and I sort of started watching it but we get distracted pretty easily Ba ha ha! Or we fall asleep.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
– I was but a little child but I liked the fact that clothing wasn’t transparent unless it was marketed as a sheer blouse. Like, real fabric! Clothes were made so much better back then.
Also I’m so mega happy. I did so unexpectedly well on an assignment and exam for college that I almost feel like crying! Ba ha ha!
Congrats on doing well on your assignment! That’s such a good feeling. What are you studying?
Hey Karen!
I’m studying to be a Legal Assistant. This is the last two and a half weeks before my practicum. My Family Law course is being taught by someone new so I was uncertain of their marking style. I’m very, very relieved ha!
That’s cool! Before my life as a beauty blogger I worked in the legal field as a legal assistant and a legal secretary. 🙂 I thought I wanted to go to law school originally but then I worked with a bunch of lawyers, LOL! Most were cool but I knew it wasn’t for me.
Congratulations on making it almost to the end, that’s awesome.
Hahaha, April Fool’s to you, too! I was like WTF it’s Tuesday???? ?
1. No idea. Haven’t been but once and it was forever ago!
2. hate. them.
3. No. Man, I’m just full of negativity today! Ha.
4. Again, no. Not my show!
5. 3rd grade. It was a big year for me. Also buying my first cassette. I think it was Ace of Base.
Ha ha ha! I was hoping somebody would get it!
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? Nothing, thanks. We only had In-and-Outs for a couple years in the 90s. I didn’t care for them.
2. What do you think of sheet masks? They’re OK. I don’t buy them, but I’ll use them if they come in a beauty box or GWP.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
I don’t have any photos in my wallet. I have cat pics on my phone, though.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
Heck yeah!
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? When my kids were babies.
Winter is coming!
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? Cheeseburger meal without onions.
2. What do you think of sheet masks? They’re ok, I think it’s hard to use up all the essence in the bag, they’re quite faffy, they don’t seem to do that much for my skin, you’re supposed to wear them a long time often, which I don’t usually have time for, and they’re incredibly enviornmentally unfriendly, not too mention reports of women in Korea and elsewhere getting paid pennies to fold them. I have some but once they’re done I think I’ll stick to wash off masks.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? No, I don’t keep any pictures in my wallet, but there’s probably hundreds of pictures of my cats on my phone though.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? Yes actually, although you do know (spoiler!) that Jon Snow and Khaleesi are Newphew and Aunt, right?
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? Indie music, mainly british britpop and shoegaze. I love music and that was my time….
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? Burger and fries
2. What do you think of sheet masks? I like them. I think that they are mostly overpriced but I look so much better after. My favorites are by Karuna. They always leave me glowing.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? Meow of course
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? No, I will be totally honest and say that I recently tried to watch Episode 1 of Season 1 and couldn’t get through it.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? Going out for draaaanks with my girls five nights our of seven! I was so much younger back then.
? at the Tuesday poll
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
Okay so we don’t have In N Out here and I’m not at all familiar! I don’t like burgers, could I get a chicken sammie or a veggie burger? And a chocolate shake and fries.
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
I think they’re fun but my skin doesn’t really like them! I do best with pretty basic routines.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
I don’t carry a wallet but I carry my phone everywhere and there are tons of photos of all my pets, and my mom’s pets, and my friends’ pets.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
YES OF COURSE. I’m on that Job Snow Khaleesi train too.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
Being a kid! Not paying bills, playing on the playground, Legos.
I’m writing this from my follow-up appointment at the orthopedic surgeon! Foot is moving in the right direction, luckily! They just took the cast off for x-rays and my foot is UGLAY right now ? it’ll need a pedi after this is all over.
When this is all over you’re gonna need a human-sized bubble suit to go with that pedicure, my friend!
You sound like the owner of the circus gym! ?
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? I’m a vegetarian so I’d order just a regular burger and tell them no meat. I’ve done that before at our local place and they’re actually very good about it. They usually give me extra sliced tomato.
2. What do you think of sheet masks? I love Tatcha’s masks. I slather the extra serum on my neck and chest, put the mask on my face, lie down and listen to some soft classical music and doze off for about 20 minutes. Zzzzzz . . .
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? I have loads of pictures of my dogs and my sons’ dogs on my phone. I guess that counts.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? No. I grew bored with the show a few seasons ago.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s. Going trail riding with my young sons.
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
Ahh good memories of eating in front of In-N-Out in my green VW with hubs. Burger with extra pickles, extra mayo, onions, maybe cheese. Chocolate shake. Kinda with you on the fries.
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
Ick! Just can’t get into them. For similar reasons to those listed above! I’ve had one sitting on my shelf for, like, 3 years. I can’t bring myself to use it or to throw it away… though now that I think about it, I probably should just because it’s been so long!
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
Yes, but I probably wouldn’t ever get around to printing one out in the right size, so…
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
Nah. Never watched it, not interested.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
Being light on my feet!
You totally got me for a minute on the April fool’s joke!! I did sit for a moment and think, “Is it really Tuesday?!” Haha!
LOL, Amy! Glad you got the joke. 🙂
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
Hamburger – animal style and a strawberry shake
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
They’re okay. I haven’t tried them enough to find one that makes a huge difference. I think they would be good for travel.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
Of course! Thank goodness for technology so I can carry my thousands of pics on my phone. 🙂
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
Yes! Although I feel like I need a Cliffs Notes version of what’s happened so far.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
I was the only one with a car in high school so it was fun giving everyone a ride.
Have a great day!
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? – I’ve never had In-N-Out. Is it like 5 Guys? I’ll take a bunless bacon cheeseburger with the works. Thanks!
2. What do you think of sheet masks? – I actually like sheet masks and really like the Sephora brand ones.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? – Not my wallet but my iPhone I do.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? YES!! Can not wait!
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? – Grunge music – Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Nirvana.
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? Cheeseburger with onions and sauce, extra lettuce, extra tomato. Chocolate shake. And if you’re gonna get me fries order them extra crispy.
2. What do you think of sheet masks? I’m with you, unless they’re SK-II, they’re cold, runny, slimy and I’d rather not.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? Wallet no. On my phone, yes.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? No. I want to be but somehow I’ve lost my enthusiasm for the show. Maybe because they took all that time off for filming.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? The only thing I remember from the 90s is driving up to Tahoe to elope with my husband. After that it was a blur of moving, work, childbirth and rearing and exhaustion.
You win, Karen. You had me convinced all morning it was Tuesday. Then I was extra confused when I actually read the email saying Tuesday poll. I’m gonna blame wrestling kitties waking me up at 5:30am. ?
Oh, Tabs is crazy in the wee hours, too! I feel you!
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
We don´t have In-N-Out in Germany, so I don’t know… Although a burger always works.
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
Not a fan. I just think they are wasteful, I much prefer traditional masks.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
I don´t have any pictures in my wallet, they are all on my phone.
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
YES!!!!
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
Owning one lipstick (in terra-cotta) and not feeling the need to buy a second one…
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
We don’t have those here- it’s a West Coast thing, I think? We do have Whataburger, though, and that is the absolute bomb. So I’ll have a Whataburger Jr, fries, and a Dr. Pepper.
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
They make me feel like I’m in a very weird horror movie.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
Well, since I wouldn’t be caught dead owning a cat, no. But I have plenty of pics of my sweet puppy dog on my phone. ??
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
I’m excited for it to be over. So tired of hearing about it.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
My nephew being born.
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? we dont have one here (on the wast coast) so I had to look up the menu. These are my choices : cheeseburger monster style, fries and chocolate and vanilla shake
2. What do you think of sheet masks? I love them , my current stash went down from over 100 to like 30 . i am trying to do a project pan
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? no but on my phone yes. ajax is a star
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? yes, i am going to make my parents watch it with me with snack bribery.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? hip hop music. when my mom used to take my sister and i to the park , people would play 69 boyz tootsie roll song and other 90s gems.
I still love that song, ha ha ha!
it makes you get up and shake your booty.
The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? I cannot answer this. There are no In-N-Outs in my state and when I was in California, I wasn’t impressed w it. I’m not a burger person though. I much prefer seafood. That I had at a restaurant that over looked the ocean and was phenomenal!
2. What do you think of sheet masks? I prefer them to other masks like clay masks esp if they are well formulated. I cannot stand clay masks. They are so irritating and drying! But I agree they can be slimy and cold?
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? If I had a cat, why not? I have no pets so no pictures in my wallet. I used to carry pictures of my daughter when she was little. Now I don’t even carry those?
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? Nope. I tried getting into it but sorry not sorry I find it mind numbingly stupid and such a snoozefest. Don’t care at all!
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? You reminded me of the Shirley Manson posters I had on my wall. My daughter’s prom is in 2 weeks so that got me thinking of my prom in 1996. I remember requesting Nirvana so we could jump around like idiots…so fun!
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
I’ve never actually been to an In-N-Out. Is that a West Coast thing? Do they have milkshakes? Maybe a milkshake?
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
I really love a nice sheetmask for a treat.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
Um, my phone might be a reliquary of photos of my current dog, my beloved Zena (how I miss her), and the horse’s I’ve ridden, particularly Abby – who recently moved to Florida and I have cried buckets over. (I had a particularly bad night last night as it was very cold here and quite warm in Florida and I just cried and cried and cried.)
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
YES. And then I will probably cry when it ends because I have been terribly emotional as of late.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
Do you remember that game where you had only so much time to stick the appropriate shapes into the correct slots or it’d explode? I was particularly good at this game while my brother was terrible at it. Why? I hated seeing all of my hard work exploding in front of me!!! I am so type A!
Please get a fries well done next time you are there! The well done fries are amazing and are my favorite!! They are on the secret menu and come very crispy.
1, I just went to one yesterday for the first time in ages. I got the double-double animal style burger only. I agree that the fries are really bad – even “well done” they aren’t really worth a purchase. I’ve had Whataburger, too (many times), and I can tell you that Whataburger doesn’t deserve the worship Texans give it [Texans are easily deceived by localized marketing, such as Blue Bell Ice Cream, Baird’s Bread, Whataburger, and Mary Kay], but neither does In-N-Out deserve to be worshipped by Californians. I prefer the In-N-Out burger to Whataburger burgers, however. Arguably, the best chain restaurant burgers available in Texas are from Five Guys and Smashburger.
2. Haven’t tried one yet. I have at least two I got in the Sephora Play and Target boxes. I really should try them.
3. I still carry a picture of my Sheltie, who died 20 years ago (the picture’s still in great shape – I laminated it). I know that seems weird. I carry it as sort of a “good luck” token. He was such a great dog – he had every good characteristic one would want in a dog. I haven’t had another pet since his death.
4. Never seen more than a few minutes of GOT. I don’t have HBO. I’m not that interested in long-winded fantasy stories. I only got through the last two Lord of the Rings movies by fast-forwarding through the extremely-long battle sequences.
5. Probably only the good days with my dog, before his health deteriorated over a period of two years and he died. Kind of sad, I know, but my life has never really been enviable.
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you?
What do they have for vegetarians? I’ll take that.
2. What do you think of sheet masks?
I think they’re gimmicky at best and harmful at worst.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet?
When I had pets, all their photos were carried in my wallet. And displayed on my desk. Yes, I’m that person. ?
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones?
I’ve never watched it.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s?
“Boy Meets World” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”. Sabrina’s bickering aunts were hilarious, and Salem the Cat had the coolest snide remarks.
Oh, and Topanga on “Boy Meets World” had the best hair!
I see what you did there. But it took me a sec since it really is the Tuesday Poll for me. HAHA!
1. The gang is heading to In-N-Out! What should we get you? I’m going all out today. Double Double with pickles but no lettuce or tomato, fries (extra sauce for dipping, plus ketchup) and a Diet Coke. Of course. HAHA!
2. What do you think of sheet masks? Same as you. Cold, gooey, ill fitting and no noticeable results. Plus, I just don’t have the time to sit around for 20+ minutes with a mask on. And, when you get up to do anything, the dripping begins.
3. Would you ever carry pictures of your cat in your wallet? I don’t have any pictures in my wallet and don’t like carrying anything. I have pics of them on my phone, though!
4. Are you excited about the final season of Game of Thrones? I’d be more excited if GRRM finished Winds of Winter. I think the show has really suffered since it’s gotten ahead of the writing. And there are so many characters that I prefer in the books to the show. Like probably all of them since Ned’s demise. But, I’ve invested a lot of time in the show, so a conclusion to the story will be nice.
5. Something you remember fondly from the ’90s? Only one thing?! 🙂 Going out with friends, pretty much every night. I’d normally drive and we’d be blaring Frank Sinatra, of all things, and singing at the top of our lungs. Good times.
My son works at In and Out. He suggested that I get my fries “light-well”
Game changer!! No more soggy fries for me.
