Fun fact. This post has been in my drafts since the beginning of 2012. Yay me for finally getting around to filling it out! :) 

Also, I have not figured out how to reply to comments in the comments below. If you comment, I will comment back. You'll just have to check back because it won't allow me to reply directly. 

Would you rather: Makeup edition!

So I was thinking maybe we could get to know each other a little better and that makes me think, TAG post. Emily Eddington -here- ironically posted this today and well, that made the choosing really easy. So I hope you enjoy! 

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

As I may not have a ton of makeup, I do have a lot. I feel like If I lost my mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses, a good 3/4 of it would be gone. So I'd lose the palettes and eyeshadows only because you can still look just as done up with the other lot. 

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

Chop it all off, because it'll grow back. It may take years, but I'll get it back. Never cutting it again seems like it would just end horribly for me because it wouldn't go anywhere.
