It’s just a list of five 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. 1. Would you rather wear red lipstick or black lipstick? Oh, my goodness.

It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past gazillion years (more than 10!). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a great start. 👍 1. Is golf ⛳ fun? It is if it’s mini-golf and I’m winning. 😀 2. What’s hiding under your bed at night?

Do yourself a solid, you sensational señorita, and tap a little MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick on the apples of your cheeks as an impromptu cream blush. Don’t mind me; I’ll wait [waiting]… It’s one those tried-and-true multitasking tricks many MAC addicts (myself included) like doing. Also up there? Using lippies like Heroine and Ruby Woo as eyeshadows or even eyeliner! Which brings me to this: The new MAC in Monochrome collection, which is available now. It takes what MAC fiends have already been doing for ages — re-purposing products — and makes it…official. Going beyond lipstick Six cult-classic MAC Lipsticks...
