This or That: The Holiday Beauty Edition

  • Santa leaves you a food-scented holiday candle. 🎅 Would you rather have one with notes of candy cane, gingerbread cookie or hot cocoa?
  • What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card?
  • Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand?
  • Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy, baggy sweats?
  • Matching your makeup to your ugly Christmas sweaters — yay or nay?
  • Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows?
  • Which would you rather find in your stocking — your favorite mascara or a tube of your favorite lip balm?
  • Silver pedi or gold pedi?
  • Red eyeshadow or green eyeshadow?

Santa leaves you a food-scented holiday candle. 🎅 Would you rather have one with notes of candy cane, gingerbread cookie or hot cocoa?

Gingerbread cookie…preferably more ginger and less cookie.

What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card?

ULTA!

Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand?

Ooh — wait! A nail polish calendar would be fun. Plus, I could share the polishes with Coycoy and Rosie.

Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy baggy sweats?

The cozy, baggy sweats please.

Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair remova,l or microblading for your brows?

Yikes, both sound like they’d hurt…so neither? LOL!

I guess I’ll go with microblading. I’d add a few hairs to the tail of my right brow, and that’s it.

What would you rather find in your stocking — your favorite mascara or a tube of your favorite lip balm?

I’ll take a tube of either Laura Mercier Caviar Mascara or Chanel Dimensions Mascara.

Silver pedi or gold pedi?

A cool-toned glittery gold would be nice.

Red eyeshadow or green eyeshadow?

Believe it or not, I had to pause on this one because I don’t mind red eyeshadow, but green is overall so much easier for me, so I’ll go with an olive green.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen 😘

    Oooh! I love when you do “This or That”
    Santa leaves you a food-scented holiday candle. 🎅 Would you rather have one with notes of candy cane, gingerbread cookie or hot cocoa? Gingerbread. Like you less cookie and more spice.
    What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card? Sephora I think. Although I feel like Ulta carries more hair care.
    Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand? Favorite skin care. I have enough polish to last many lifetimes.
    Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy, baggy sweats? Cozy robe and slippers. My feet get cold! and I never wear sweats.
    Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows? Neither. I heard that laser hair removal works best on dark hairs and all the ones I want removed are gray these days. And microblading? Thanks but I got Dad’s bushy brows, lol. So maybe some threading instead.
    Which would you rather find in your stocking — your favorite mascara or a tube of your favorite lip balm? Tough one. I guess mascara.
    Silver pedi or gold pedi? Another tough one, but I’ll go with gold.
    Red eyeshadow or green eyeshadow? Green! Maybe a deep forest green with a golden undertone. Allergic to many red pigments and they make me look horrible anyway.

    Santa leaves you a food-scented holiday candle. 🎅 Would you rather have one with notes of candy cane, gingerbread cookie or hot cocoa? I’m not a big candle person, but candy cane.
    What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card? Oh c’mon now- that’s just mean… I shop at Sephora more, but go to the Ulta salon. Sephora if I had to pick just one.
    Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand? Not a big nail polish fan- I bought a neat candy advent calendar though.
    Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy, baggy sweats? Sweats
    Matching your makeup to your ugly Christmas sweaters — yay or nay? Yay
    Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows? Laser hair removal would be interesting to try, though my concern (besides the price) is the pain and I’ve heard that it doesn’t remove lighter colored hair.
    Which would you rather find in your stocking — your favorite mascara or a tube of your favorite lip balm? Lip balm
    Silver pedi or gold pedi? Silver
    Red eyeshadow or green eyeshadow? Green

    Santa leaves you a food-scented holiday candle. 🎅 Would you rather have one with notes of candy cane, gingerbread cookie or hot cocoa? Gingerbread! Such a warm, yummy, inviting scent.

    What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card? I’ll take a Sephora gift card, thank you.

    Matching your makeup to your ugly Christmas sweaters — yay or nay. I’m all for having fun playing with my makeup to go with my ugly sweater. ‘Tis the season!

    Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows? Neither. At my age I’m no longer hairy and my eyebrows are thick.

    Which would you rather find in your stocking — your favorite mascara or a tube of your favorite lip balm? Since I toss mascara every 2-3 months, I can always use a new one.

    Silver pedi or gold pedi? I think a glittery silver would be pretty.

    Red eyeshadow or green eyeshadow? I’ll go with an emerald green hugging my eyelashes—top and bottom.

    Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand? Skin care… I still have too many nail polishes 😉
    Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy, baggy sweats? We always dress up for christmas, so I chose a red dress and black high heels…

    Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows? Laser hair removal, but I fear it would be painful?

    What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card? Sephora!
    Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand? Advent calendar with nail polishes!
    Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy, baggy sweats? Cozy robe with matching slippers!
    Matching your makeup to your ugly Christmas sweaters — yay or nay? Nay!
    Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows? I could use the microblading, but I’ll go with laser hair removal. No more shaving my legs, which takes longer than filling in my brows.

    Santa leaves you a food-scented holiday candle. 🎅 Would you rather have one with notes of candy cane, gingerbread cookie or hot cocoa? Um, hot cocoa with candy cane runner-up
    What would you rather find under the tree 🎄 — a Sephora gift card or an Ulta gift card? Sephora. I spend my own money at Ulta most often, so Sephora would let me get things I don’t normally buy.
    Favorite skin care brand or an advent calendar with polishes from your favorite nail brand? Skincare. I quit wearing nail polish a while ago and lately it just looks strange on me
    Cozy robe with matching slippers or cozy, baggy sweats? Robe. I’ve never worn sweats in my life and even tho it’s (still) 2020, I don’t intend to start now.
    Matching your makeup to your ugly Christmas sweaters — yay or nay? If I was trying to look “normal”, not matching. Then maybe people would think I was attacked by the ugly sweater and couldn’t fight it off. Otherwise matching so that it would look like I wore the ugly sweater deliberately.
    Which gift would be more thrilling — laser hair removal, or microblading for your brows? Laser hair removal
    Which would you rather find in your stocking — your favorite mascara or a tube of your favorite lip balm? Mascara
    Silver pedi or gold pedi? Hmmm…maybe silver.
    Red eyeshadow or green eyeshadow? Red so long as it didn’t have carmine in it.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
