Makeup and Beauty Blog: Monday Poll, Vol. 353

This week's Monday Poll:

1. I hate to shop for... Footwear. Don't get me wrong, I love shoes. But I hate actually shopping for them, and I can never buy them without trying them on first regardless of the type of footwear (aside from, say, flip flops). I have a minor bunion on my left foot, so when I try on shoes, my right foot will be like, "Yes, this fits perfectly!" and then my left foot will be like, "Take this off immediately!" Also, I have large calves, so finding knee-length boots is an epic struggle. 


2. I love to shop for... Cosmetics, obviously. I would say 75% of my purchases are cosmetic-related. Also, food, books, handbags, and outerwear.


3. You have three minutes to freshen up your makeup, so what do you do? Blot my nose (I like Boscia's Blotting Linens), dust some oil-absorbing powder (I use MAC's Blot Powder Pressed in Medium Dark) on my T-zone, mist MAC's Fix+ all over my face, and re-apply lipstick and/or gloss.


4. What's the oldest thing in your closet that you still wear all the time? A black Wilfred Chevalier jacket from Aritzia. The first one I bought was in 2009, I think. I bought another one a couple years ago to rotate in my wardrobe because I wear it so frequently. It just looks good with everything; you can dress it up or down, and you always look polished.


5. What are some things you'd like to do more of in 2015? Exercise. I know I say that every year, but it's become more important that I try now that I'm nearing 30 (and because I'm a smoker). I would also like to travel more. I go to NYC every year, but I wanna do another destination as well. I'm thinking maybe California later in the year.
