How did baby poop-colored nail polish 1) come to be so frighteningly accurate, and 2) so coveted by the masses? Why are dudes who have no clue/don’t care always blessed with the longest, curliest, lushest eyelashes? Why do tweens with porcelain skin and no dark circles wear enough foundation to cover a rump roast and go to Target in full-beat glam? Why are Instagram brow tails SO sharp? Why do I remember to bring that 14th tube of pinkish nude lipstick but forget my phone at home? Why do I feel the need to keep three sticks of half-used MAC...

So…what is the Monday 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 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. Eyeliner: liquid or pencil? Yes, please! I like both, and I can even do liquid liner when I’m in a hurry. (The secret is choosing the right pen, and Clinique’s Pretty Easy is the...

I’m actually surprised I didn’t walk out of Trader Joe’s with more than three boxes of this hand cream. Not to say that I didn’t come close… But I didn’t have a basket.

We should just rename it something like, “When Colors Confusingly Collide.” 😂 I wore this lippy last week in one of the Charlotte Tilbury posts not realizing just how much it would steal the show. It’s one of the Matte Lip Mousse lipsticks from the MAC Pony Park collection, so it’s limited edition (I know), and while a lot of the items from that launch are sold out, Cordon Bleu is still available.

So…what is the Monday Poll? Good question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll. 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. What was your favorite year in school, and what was special about it? I mean, it’s gonna sound so cliché, but senior year in high school really was great. OK, I didn’t drive, but all of my...
