Hey!

Thanks for checking my wish list, I feel like a kid making my list for Santa.   :santa:  I'm going to list likes and dislikes but I am open to trying just about anything. 

Likes (general): I love boring and practical items (tools, makeup removing wipes, cleansers). I mostly stick to nudes & mattes, the Tarte mattenificent amazonian eye/cheek palette is my fav.

I love to try out any (that's new to me) of the following:

Lip balms and most lip glosses

Mascaras 

Dry shampoos/products to add volume and texture (love sea salt sprays)

BB/CC creams - (non-spf) although I prefer to try them in sample or deluxe sizes first.

Nail polish - non-glitter, even if I don't love the color chances are my sister will we swap polishes a lot (actually she borrows mine and never seems to return it) ha!

Perfume

Facial cleaners and make up removing cloths

Cosmetic brushes/beauty blenders

Vanilla and lemon food/bakery/sweet treat scented body products

Self tanners/Bronzers - not high on my wish list but a good bronzer or self tanning cream comes in handy

Sunscreens  - also not high on my priority list but between my fair skinned boyfriend and the amount of time I spend at the beach (I live about half a mile from the Chesapeake Bay) I'll certainly use them all during the summer.  

Brands/Products I like:

Nars - their eye shadow primer is my HG eye shadow primer, I like everything Nars puts out.

Nyx  - love their matte eyeshadow singles, totally taupe is my jam

Urban Decay - their eyeliners have great staying power for me

Paula's Choice - all her skin care for acne or combo skin are amazing: cleaners, toner, mask, AHA's and BHA's. I really want to try her version of the Naked palette.

Suki - I love lemon scented/flavored beauty products

Dermalogica - the pre cleanse oil and pre cleanse wipe work really well for me

The Aloe Source - love their scrub/cleanser

DDF - Serums, moisturizers

Marc Jacobs - perfume and I'd love to try the makeup line

be Delectable - LEMON handcream, body wash, yum!

I use an online/spa brand of mineral powder foundation called Being True (most liquid foundation is too oily for me, I still use it though).

Non-beauty items:

Headbands, soft or workout specific, I really hate to have my hair in my face. I wear it up a lot and wear headbands around the house and to workout (I crossfit/run/yoga).

Giftcards (to any place) will not be wasted on me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sweet treats and goodies! I'm a sucker for sugar! Cake, brownies, cookies, and cupcakes, bring 'em on! On the salty side I love sweet potato chips, I've been known to eat a whole bag in one day.  

I'd love it if my swap buddy would send me something from their area that represents their town/area or state/country.  A food item would be awesome but it doesn't have to be food.

I'm a cancer, I like items with crabs on them.  

Dislikes:

Glitter, in anything makeup/nail polish

Shimmery eyeshadows or eyeliners

Hair oils, masks, conditioners.  I have fine, thin hair. I'm currently on minoxidil treatments.

Lipstick, I have a ton and rarely, if ever, use them.

Body splashes - ugh, hate them!

Bath & Body Works & Victoria's Secret (I don't dislike them, I work for them, no need for more bbdubs!)

*Pretty packaging is nice, but I'd rather focus on reducing, reusing and recycling our packaging.* 

I read a lot of fashion and fitness magazines.  You could probably grab any issue and open to the beauty pages and pick something from the pages and I'd be thrilled to try it.  I have a habit of taking pic's of magazine pages so when I'm shopping, I can refer back to things I saw that caught my eye so I can try to swatch them to see how they look.

Current subs:

Ipsy

Sample Society

Glossybox

PopSugar

Birchbox x (gulp) 5
