So cheesy on a Monday!
So…what is the Monday Poll?
Good question! It isn’t, as opposed to its name, an actual poll. It’s just a list of five much 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. Sticky gloss, or non-sticky gloss?
Homie…I don’t know.

2. Your newest makeup obsession?
So, I’m still all about finding an alternative to under-eye concealer. last week I tried a foundation, a BB cream and a color corrector, and man — it’s been an adventure! (I’ll post a post about it later this week.)
Basically, it’s been a hoot, but everything so far has mostly just confirmed that It Cosmetics CC+ illumination full coverage cream is the freakin’ SCHTUFF as far as under-eye concealer alternatives go (I wear it in Tan, by the way). Like, as a straight-up foundation, I think it’s nonsense, because it’s waaaaay too glittery to actually do pores any good, but IT’S SO good at brightening the under-eye area and as a general pick-me-up.
3. Do you like going to parties?
Sure, but these days, I gotta be honest…it really depends on who’s going and where it’s at. I’m all in for casual get-togethers at a friend’s house when 1) I can take my shoes off at the door, and 2) I don’t have to be told where the restroom is.

But if it’s a party with a bunch of strangers I have nothing in common with and will probably never hear from again, I’ll pass. I’d rather read a book on my couch or view The golden Girls.
4. finish the following sentence: “Good eyeliner application is all about…”
Accepting that YOU will make mistakes, but also knowing how to fix them.
Oh, and having a stable hand.
And finding a formula that works for you, which is *totally* key. I’m pretty comfortable with many of formulas, but best now I’m all about pencil liners because they typically don’t irritate my eyes.
5. I’m seldom wrong about…
’80s song lyrics. If there were a game show devoted to estimating obscure songs from the ’80s, mama would clean up!
Adventures in gluten-free lasagna
Oh yeah!
Yup, that’s *THE* gluten-free lasagna experiment, and it actually turned out A-OK. I mean, lots of melted cheese never hurts anything, but the pasta itself was pretty good. I used Barilla gluten-free pasta and it tasted just like a regular lasagna! Oh, and why do I always forget that with lasagna a little bit goes a long way? I now have a ton of it (seriously enough to feed a small army of makeup lovers), so one of the things on my to-do list today is to freeze a few slices.
Onto Monday, friend. how are ya feeling?
