OpheliaDiFranco's MidSummer's Night Wish List!

Dear Fairy Godmother:
First let me say that I just spend 4 hours making my wishlist perfect and my computer randomly shut down before I saved it and I lost EVERYTHING. So excuse me if this seems rushed through. I don't know how much more company time I can swindle today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anywho, I want to say that I am not greedy or picky. I am sure I will love anything that you put thought and effort into. I just love presents Even if you don't even look at my wish list, Im sure I would love anything you put together! I love discovering new things and am always looking to try other gals holy grail products, so feel free to throw anything in that you love even if it's not on my list! I love small brands, and companies that may be popular in your area that I may have never heard of. I like Indi brands like Villainess, BPAL, Ineke, and Nest. My favorite products are glosses and eye liners...I think the survey below does a pretty thorough job of explaining what I like, so I won't ramble. Im super excited to get my gift and thank you in advance--I'm sure it is going to be wonderful!!!!!!!

Absolute must-answers:

· ALLERGIES: NONE!

· Dietary restrictions: None

· Skin allergies/sensitivities: My face is sensitive to strong oils and fragrances (as in cleaners, lotions, mask scrubs, etc) That being said, I love face products that smell delicious!

Would you like to get a heads-up from a Fairy that your package is on its way, or would you prefer its delivery to be a complete surprise? Yes, I absolutely want to know!


Basic background information:

· Makeup—I am pale with pink undertones. I am a natural red head but dye my hair black. I love eyeliners! I tend to prefer the liquid pen-types....I love all kinds of makeup but prefer lip glosses to lipstick.

· Hair—Guess I jumped the gun on this one I have natural strawberry blond hair which I dye black. Its fairly normal I guess. I only wash it once a week so I love dry shampoos and oils. Overall, I don't really get too excited about hair products though.

· Nails—I have acrylic nails so I NEVER paint my own nails. So again, I don't get too excited by polishes. I like "different" polishes: texture, holographic, matte. I lean towards pinks/browns/neutral/black and don't use funky colors.

· Skincare (face/neck)—Combination skin that is slightly sensitive. I love face products! Cleansers, masks, scrubs, moisturizers...LOVE EM ALL!

· Bodycare (everywhere else)—I love Lush and Fortune Cookie Soap (Thanks to Secret Santa which turned me on to these great companies) I have an obsession with Sugar scrubs---But I don't like the oily ones, I like the clean rinsing ones like treehut and Villainess (amazing!!)

· Home—I love Asian inspired decor...bamboo, symbols....My 2nd living room is all black and white and old celebrity pictures....I love candles and smell good stuff!

More advanced questions:

· Solve for X: I am wearing too much X, and I DO NOT CARE! X= eyebrow powder/eyebrow products

· Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? I prefer cruelty –free, but is not an absolute must. Vegan doesn't matter

· You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? This is so hard!!! Probably Sephora, but I also enjoy smaller companies...I am a huge Villainess fan---I would buy $50 worth of Smack!...I am currently in a love affair with Lush---Thats hard, I would want EVERYTHING!....I have been wanting to buy the scent sampler from Ineke....At Sephora, ugh...IDK...A clear lip liner, BLACK eyebrow products, Buxom lip polishes, a moisturizer, something by Benefit....

· Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. Currently I sub to Birchbox, Ipsy, Julep, FCS Soapbox....I have a sub to Beauty Army but I usually skip. I just cancelled my Glossybox sub last month and Popsugar, Ecoemi, and Graze a while ago. As far as coveted products, thats a hard one...I have only found a few favorites: Suki scrub, Shea Terra shea butter, Supergoop CC Cream, The Balm Mary Loumenizer...

· Assuming they are separately packaged and clearly labeled, what are your feelings on prepared-by-sender beauty items? I love making homemade items even though I am not too creative. I admire others who are and welcome their creations!

· Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? Smaller items. More room for variety!

Brand-and-color-specific time!

· What specific product(s) are you lusting after? I have a problem that when I want a new beauty item I obsess over it until i HAVE to buy it!!! Currently the only thing I really want is the Urban Decay Electric pallet, but that is over budget.

I don't use lipstick. I have tried but I can't find one that I can tolerate how it feels---nail polish--- I have a million but I have acryllic nails so I never paint my own nails and even if I have them use my polish, I only get them done every week or two so I can never get through what I have already!!!!

· Sunblock/Sunscreen: If you can find one that is gel like, non greasy, doesnt have the "sunblock" smell and doesn't burn my eyes, SURE! I have not been able to accomplish this...The closest I have come is Coola Cucumber matte face sunscreen, but I still don't like the texture

· Self-tanner/tanning wipes: I am a ginger, these sadly just make me orange


And extra non-makeup-related questions!

· 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? Well, I have a daughter who will just steal everything anyway...I have three fur babies: A pug named Cullen, A lazy mainecoon named Lorenzo, and an adorable mischeivous Russian Blue named Louie. I am sure they would love if the whole box is for them. Actually Louie will be happy with the empty box and wrapping products lol

· 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 would like to say that I would take my time and savor the moment, but I am incapable of not ripping into it lol
