I am so excited! ♡o｡.(✿ฺ｡ ✿ฺ)

Allergies: Cats and nickel in jewelry. Also, I am vegetarian. But otherwise, bring it on.
 
Style descriptions! Brief is better.
    Makeup: You know, I can never seem to answer this one well. I usually describe it as bold but classic. 

    Hair: Blonde and I've been letting it grow out. *crosses fingers that it grows faster* I also wear lots and lots of hairbows and pretty hair clips.

    Nails: I haven't had nail polish on in months. I do have pretty weak nails, so I usually put it on just to keep them from breaking.

    Skincare (face/neck): Just moisturizer for my face

    Bodycare (every where else): *awkward shoulder shrugging*

    Home: Hey, man, I don't have a house but I love weird home stuff. Bring it on!

More advanced questions:

    Solve for X: I am wearing too much LIPSTICK, and I DO NOT CARE!

    Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? Not important.

    You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? This is a tough one. I generally prefer Ulta because I prefer their points system. But my favorite brand (Kat Von D) is only available at Sephora. Ummmmm....*deliberates* I'd probably still go with Ulta.

    Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. I have birchbox, but I'm not currently coveting anything.

    Assuming they are separately packaged and clearly labeled, what are your feelings on prepared-by-sender beauty items? Unsealed samples? Items from the bulk foods section? Go for it!

    Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? Minis, minis, minis! (I just love them so!  :wub:  )

Brand-and-color-specific time!

    What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why? Revlon Cherries in the Snow lipstick. Why? It's just so timeless!

    What specific product(s) are you lusting after? Feel free to link to a wishlist with particulars! I'll add a wishlist below.

    What make-up items do you use every day? Foundation, blush, mascara and primer, eyebrow pomade, lipstick, white eyeliner pencil, black or brown eyeliner pencil.
    What are your holy grail items? Holy crap? TBA    What one item/product are you interested in, but just have't gotten around to trying? TBA

General product section, aka not brand/color specific

    What one product can you just not get enough of? *grabby hands all the lipstick*

    What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? Pencil eyeliners

    What product(s) can you absolutely not use at all for reasons other than allergies/sensitivities listed in the background section (e.g., I can't use foot scrubbers because my feet are too ticklish)? Hmm, nothing comes to mind.

    What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine? I am severely lacking an under eye concealer.

    What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing? Always anything for the lips!

    What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive? Hmm...I'll give anything a try!

Brands:

    What brand do you have more products from than any other? I didn't look in my box, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Kat Von D. Any particular reason? Because I loveeee it.  :lol:  

    What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to? I still haven't really tried MAC or NARS. I'm sure I'll add others as they come to mind.

    What brand(s) do you not want? Bring 'em all on! I can take 'em!

Colors (not specific shades):

    Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Green!

    Favorite color combination? Black and gold.

    Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination Every color. It'd be a mess. I basically want my dream houseboat to look like Howl's room from Howl's Moving Castle.

    What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Roses and purples Why? They go so well with my green eyes. *vigorously bats eyes*

    Color(s) to avoid? Blue. Yuck. Blue. I don't even like the sound of it.  ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (Unless it's a dark, rich blue.) Also, I generally tend to avoid cool and pastel tones. (Though pastel pink I can usually make an exception for. I'm not a monster.)

Scents

    What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? I love rose. I wear the same perfume every day: TokyoMilk 12: Gin and Rosewater. I hope someday to own the whole set of products, and then my beautiful, fantastical Howl's Moving Houseboat can always smell of roses.

    What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)? Don't have one. But.....TokyoMilk makes a Rosewater and Gin candle. hehehehehe  :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

    Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance. Rose. Nothing powdery. I like scents that very earthy and fairy like- something I could smell if I got lost in a forest. 

    Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? TokyoMilk =, Anna Sui Favorite home fragrance companies? Alas, I do not have one.

    What form of perfume do you prefer (oil, alcohol-based, spray, open bottle, rollerball)? Spray or oil. What form of home fragrance do you prefer (candle, diffuser, air freshener, plug-in)? I prefer candles. But I've also been meaning to try out wax melts.

    Self-tanner/tanning wipes: Nope, nope.

And extra non-makeup-related questions!

    What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3)
Everything you could ever wish to know about my style can be summed up in these three:
  1. Andrew GN Spring 2009
  2. Tony Ward Fall-Winter 2014 (In fact, all of this collection slays me.)
  3. Imelda Kartini 2013
    List any public wishlists (Amazon, etsy, Sephora), swap lists and/or Tumbler/Pinterest entries your Sugar Plum Fairy should consult. TBA
    Is your box all about you? Or would you like to see things in your box for your significant other/spouse, kid(s), pet(s), whatever? If the latter, please list age/gender/species. Don't really have any of those things.    If your Sugar Plum Fairy curates an awesome set of items for you, would you rather they be wrapped individually, or be a huge smorgasbord that you can look at all at once? Individual please! Would you prefer to open each gift slowly and methodically or will it be ribbons and bows and paper flying as you tear into it? I love taking my time opening presents!

    It's a hot, sunny 90-degree summer day and you have no obligation to be anywhere in particular. Where are you and what are you doing? Reading at the beach or sewing with my friends or hiking and writing in the woods.

And advanced fun stuff:

    What do you do in your spare time? Read, write, and sew. Are there any hobby-related items you would like? They are always welcome! I'm constantly saving scraps of pretty papers and ribbons. I love all sorts of sewing notions. I love to sort through random lots of buttons and such.

Favorite TV shows: Bates Motel, Hannibal, Attack on Titan, Parks and Recreation, and Project Runway. Movies: Howl's Moving Castle, Pacific Rim, The Conjuring. Books: (This list could be endless.

Sweeney Todd had been playing on loop in my head for months. Hogwarts house: Gryffindor    What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon? Ribbons and papers and journals, oh my!

    Pirates or ninjas? Pirates!

    Disney! Favorite movie, hero, villain? Tangled, Rapunzel, Elsa (hush, she is the antagonist even if she's not an outright villainess.)

    Describe three things decorating your living space. Paper (nothing is safe from decoupage), delicate, little lights, and beautiful boxes. 

Yes/no, the extras division:

    Virtual gifts (ecerts/gift certs/eBooks): Mmm, not really. 

    Hand-made items (from your godparent or purchased) Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! Oh please, please, please!I

I want to say thank you for you being by secret santa. You're the best. Seriously. Have this hug. (˘⌣˘)˘⌣˘ C) I would love to try anything you send me. I can find a home for most everything. Happy shopping!
 
Sherrif Dashery - signing out!
Click to expand...
Sooooo...I can't edit this, so I'm adding the things that were TBA here:

First, I should mention that I don't have a preference regarding the tracking number.

Here is my Sephora loves list. 

Also, I checked out my BB favorites list and here's what I love!

     I just love notebooks and paper of any kind so much. And everything Rifle Paper Co. makes is so beautiful!

    Similarly, I love anything by Besame really. They're vintage flair rocks!

4. Field Notes Mixed 3-Pack

    Haha Did I mention I love notebooks and such?   :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I especially love that these are designed as field notes. The budding biological anthropologist in me wants to take these and run off on an adventure! One involving complex codes and poisonous plants!

5. JAPONESQUE® Slant Volume Lashes

    I love false eye lashes. I use oodles of them for costumes Haha I just really love the slant shape to these.

• Dietary restrictions: Do you or anyone in your household have any food-related restrictions/sensitivities, etc? Would you prefer not to receive food items?

Also nothing..

Skin allergies/sensitivities: Do you or anyone in your household have any skin allergies/sensitivities not already listed that your Secret Santa should know about (e.g., wool, metals in jewelry, etc)? Nope - I'm weird about perfume though. If it has "white" in the notes, NOT INTO IT. Migraine city.

Nope.

•Do you avoid silicone, sulfates, etc?

Yes! No parabens or sulfates in shampoo and conditioner, otherwise we’re solid.

•Would you like to get a heads-up that your package is on its way, or would you prefer its delivery to be a complete surprise?

I’ll be out of town from Christmas Eve until January 3rd, but my roommate will be around! If it’s gonna be sent late, I’d love to know what’s going on so I can make sure it gets to my house safely!

But for real - my Elfster wishlist is where it's at.

Style descriptions! Brief is better.

• Makeup – Winged Liner! Red or mauvey-purple-pink lips (think Milani Plumrose and Pretty Natural) My current favorite red is UD’s Gash.

• Hair – Long and wavy. I rock beach waves ALL THE TIME. I dye it a dark purpley-black. I’m a natural dark brunette. Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls is WHERE IT’S AT.

• Nails – My nails are always painted. I stick to dark colors (I die for anything that is *almost* black.) But I have also been wanting some holos because they’re so pretty. And I have zero.

• Skincare (face/neck) – I only wash my face with Lush’s Dark Angels and wipe my face off with Simple’s face wipes. I spray a refreshing water from Memebox on my face afterwards, and sometimes I use creams. I have enough creams for everything in the world, but I never use it. I’m gonna look 80 in a few years (kidding.)

• Bodycare (every where else) – Love light lotions and massage oils. This is embarrassing but I’d die for a nice sensual massage oil if you know a great one. I use buffy bars like they’re crack, but other than that my skin is pretty normal. I have lots of tattoos.

•Home- My room is fire engine red, baby blue, navy, and mustard yellow. Super patriotic over here.

More advanced questions:

• Solve for X: I am wearing too much X, and I DO NOT CARE! Eyeliner. Fo sho.

• You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite store. Which store is it, and what will you buy?

Oh em gee. I dunno. Somewhere I haven’t tried? Geek Chic? Black Violet? Shiro? Notoriously Morbid? Literally anything I haven’t tried, which is most things.

• Please list any subscriptions you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent subs.

Started OTM in October - will have through December. Dying for the Zombies Vanishing Cabinet. Also do Birchbox, and enjoy Popsugar.

• Assuming they are separately packaged and clearly labeled, what are your feelings on prepared-by-sender beauty items? Unsealed samples? Items from the bulk foods section?

All of the above!

• Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini/sample items, or a few full-sized items?

Samples! Minis!

Brand-and-color-specific time!

• What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why?

Eyeliner because it makes me feel like a human.

• What make-up items do you use every day?

Benefit Play Sticks, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. Everything else is optional. Kind of.

• What are your holy grail items?

I’m dying for my House of Gloi custom perfume. My roommate says it smells like a campfire but I love it.

• What one item/product are you interested in, but just haven't gotten around to trying?

One product? I am really into eyeshadow collections over individual shadows.

General product section, aka not brand/color specific.

• What one product can you just not get enough of? I buy concealer like it’s crack, but I have the largest amount of eyeliner.

• What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? Face wipes.

• What product(s) can you absolutely not use at all for reasons other than allergies/sensitivities listed in the background section.  Nada.. oh. Bath things. If it goes in a bathtub, I can’t use it. Because I don’t own a bathtub and I hate baths.

• What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine? Does time count as a missing item? No but seriously, something that effectively puts gel eyeliner on and isn’t ridiculous like brushes. Or the silicone push up things. I’m picky with this eyeliner mess.

• What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing? Light weight spray frizz hair thing. Whatever that is. ALSO a Beauty Blender or Beauty Sponge, and some Parian Spirit and a sifter thingy. Neeeeed.

• What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive? Mascara. I own so much.

Brands:

• What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason?

Haus of Gloi. Because I can’t stop ordering.. and I still haven’t tried Ghost Puffs.

• What indie brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to?

Everything else. I really want to try brands I haven’t tried, and it’s mostly helpful to tell you what I do have: Haus of Gloi, Glamour Doll Eyes, Aromaleigh, Geek Chic, Shiro.

Colors (not specific shades):

• Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Black!

• Favorite color combination? I’m really into off whites with navy and burgundies and olives right now.

• Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination – Red, light blue, navy..

• What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why? Brown and black. Cause.. I like them?

• Color(s) to avoid? Yellow. Damn. Yellow. And blue, like.. anything light blue or not navy. Navy is the exception to the rule.

Scents

• What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? Currently, Haus of Gloi Horseman (with vanilla.. because I customed that shit). Also I decided today that I'm NOT into Atelier's Citrus scent. Who knows.

• What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)? Warm Vanilla Sugar B&BW, or Fresh Linen by B&BW. I have TWO of the wallflowers in my room. TWO. Just in my room. Maybe I have a problem.

• Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance. Wood, vanilla, leather, cigarette, smoke..

• Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? Favorite home fragrance companies? Haus of Gloi, Pacifica, Atelier.. Ralph Lauren. Home, B&BW is almost what I use exclusively, unless they’re gift candles. I love the candles that crackle. Sucker for that basicness.

• What form of perfume do you prefer (oil, alcohol-based, spray, open bottle, rollerball)? Just not spray.

What form of home fragrance do you prefer (candle, diffuser, air freshener, plug-in)? I use plug ins, but I light candles a lot. I use a diffuser in my closet.

• Other than perfume/fragrance oils, what is your favorite type of toiletry/scented item? Gotta be my bar soap from lush. Into it.

• Scent(s)/notes(s) to avoid? White gives me migraines so I stay away from florals, gardenias, shtuff like that.

And extra non-makeup-related questions!

• What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3)

I think almost everything I own is Express, Steve Madden, or H&M. I wear a lot of black.

List any public wishlists (Amazon, etsy, Sephora), swap lists and/or Tumbler/Pinterest entries your Secret Santa should consult.

For me! I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T. Or something.

• If your fairy godparent curates an awesome set of items for you, would you rather they be wrapped individually, or be a huge smorgasbord that you can look at all at once? Would you prefer to open each gift slowly and methodically or will it be ribbons and bows and paper flying as you tear into it?  I’ll tear through it, I love individually wrapped things, it builds suspense!!

• It's a hot, sunny 90-degree summer day and you have no obligation to be anywhere in particular. Where are you and what are you doing?  

Hopefully I’m near water (freshwater) somewhere cool, like.. hiking, OR I’m inside in the air conditioning. MAYBE I’m on the beach getting my tan on. I don’t tolerate heat well.
