As a reminder: Please make sure to read the Secret Santa rules before signing up. If you haven't sent me your address please do so ASAP. Less than a week before I send that info to your Secret Santa.

 

Username: Zadidoll

Country: USA

 

Wish list: open to anything.

 

Note: The wish list is just a suggestion of products you like and would love to get however if you would like something more personalized or don't care if it's something specific then by all means please share that. As much info as you are willing to share with your Secret Santa the better.

 

For example, I put in my wish list I'm open to anything but let me give you more information on myself so my Secret Santa knows me a bit better.

All about me.... (Click to show)
  • I love cats (and that's an understatement) and I love chickens. I have numerous cats including my youngest kitten whom I jokingly refer to as my 4th daughter. lol I love rabbits.
  • I love the color blue and teal (anything that reminds me of a peacock).
  • I'm always on the hunt for the perfect purple (nail polish) that's not too red and not too blue, not too flat and not too dark.
  • I use both drugstore and prestige brands.
  • My nail polish collection is filled with every single Wet 'n' Wild polish from their core line but I've been having trouble hunting down any of their LE stuff (especially anything exclusive to CVS).
  • I love OPI and China Glaze but don't own anything newer.
  • I love Cult Nails (I own Unicorn Puke and Time Traveler).
  • Love Korean nail polish after using GLORY (which is not available in the US yet).
  • Love Japanese cosmetics because I have a yellow undertone (OCC is among the few American lines whose foundations and tinted moisturizers I can use).
  • I'm learning airbrush makeup so I'm trying to find a brand of airbrush foundation I can use on myself (OCC makes mini sets but I ordered the tinted moisturizer one rather than the airbrush one and right now can't order anything from OCC due to NY being shut down and OCC being based in NYC). I'm Y0 and Y1.
  • Love OCC Lip Tars. Would love the new Nylon one that's exclusive to Sephora.
  • Since I'm learning airbrush makeup I need to find cleaning supplies to clean my airbrush gun.
  • Love Manic Panic's Creatures of the Night nail polish (I only own Heavy Metal, wish I picked up Hellfire and the other two colors).
  • I'm into Lime Crime, Fyrinnae, Glamour Doll Eyes and Saucebox Cosmetics products.
  • I love Sugarpill but already own all her current palettes and pressed shadows and loose pigments, I don't own any of her eyelashes yet (that's next on my hit list).
  • Oh I love eyelashes. LOVE eyelashes.
  • Love Cinema Secrets.
  • Love Mehron.
  • Love Ben Nye. (and my kids keep saying, "Ben Nye the Science Guy"? and I keep telling them, "No that's Bill Nye the Science Guy." LOL)
  • Makeup brushes - love makeup brushes especially stippling brushes, "C" brushes, blending brushes, etc. Doesn't matter if it's drugstore, prestige or private label. So long as it's not ELF brushes that tend to fall apart on me.
  • Milani cosmetics - especially things that are exclusive to CVS (no CVS in my state) - like the Total Lash Cover Mascara (I forgot to buy that when I was in Vegas).
  • Wet 'n' Wild cosmetics - anything that's LE (I'm still hunting down those three newer palettes).
  • Black Radiance eye appeal shadow collection (no one carries those in my area).
  • Hand lotions, creams and butters. My desk is covered in lotions, creams and butter in the fall and winter because when I get cold I dry out.
  • Weird and wonky things. I love things that are weird. Years ago I had a gargoyle statue that I loved until we moved and it broke. I also had this eyeball paperweight... no idea what ever happened to that.
  • Peacock feathers. Earrings, hats, pens, whatever... if it has a peacock feather or design I love it since it reminds me of my pet peacock (loved him until his death due to old age).
  • Love makeup bags. I can't get enough.
  • Lactose intolerant so chocolate and I don't get along.
  • Allergic to raspberries.
  • Hating tanning and self-tanning. LOL (My family calls me a vampire because I hate being in the sun.)
  • Tweezers - I'm always buying tweezers because I'm always losing tweezers. Love needle nose tweezers the most.
  • Manicure products - buffers, nail files (love glass nail files), cuticle scissors, etc. Any type of nail implement since mine tend to disappear (I have a daughter who loves giving herself a manicure but never returns my things).
  • Palettes - not makeup palettes but things like Paw Palettes, metal mixing palettes - things to mix foundations, creams and things.
  • fleur-de-lis - anything fleur-de-lis

 

My complexion: Yellow undertones.

Skin type: Combination, leans towards dry in winter and oily in summer.

Eye color: Brown.

Hair color: Black

 

I'm really open to anything really.

Wish list:

let me think... beauty related... I already have huge stock of skincare and quite a lot of  make up. I'm afraid that I can't finish them before exp date LOL. If anyone is interested in skincare and make up I would like to sent one item as an extra~ 

The #1 on my list is MAC's eye brushes(217 etc.). What's next? Emm... after hours of thinking, still no idea. Maybe because I  stored up toooo much stuff! 

 

Question here:

Is it better to personalize the gift as much as possible Or most people prefer  things never imagine of? 

If someone likes  personalized gift, I suggest she/he add more personal information like skin color, skin tone, skin type, eye color, hair color, age, style, favorite color ... (can we pm these information to zadidoll? It may not be comfortable for some people to talk about themselves in public threads )

There are two ways we can go with Secret Santa. The first is that the Secret Santa see a wish list and buy you something off that wish list OR the second allow the Secret Santa to get you something you may never have heard of or thought to ask through the personalization as you suggested. If those of you who would like something more personalized by all please share that info. The "Wish List" was just a suggestion but you're more than welcome to post (or PM me) as much info to help your Secret Santa pick something you will like. :)

Can only ship within the USA at this time.

 

NOTE: I work at LUSH and also for the parent company of Victoria's Secret/BBW, so if that's on your wishlist, I'm your gal. :)

 

About me: NW20ish, brown hair, brown eyes. Love neutrals and colors alike.  

Wishlist: Any HARE polishes from the new collections (especially A Positive, Amethystos, Golden Years. HARE can be found here), any tarte maracuja divine shine lip glosses, any tarte products at all actually! I also love cool pens and keurig VUE cups (not k-cups, these are different!). Chocolate is also always welcomed :)

I am a very easygoing person and don't have too many dislikes. But since I work for certain companies, please nothing from Victoria's Secret, or Bath and Body Works. I have WAY TOO MUCH of that stuff already!

Wishlist:  I looooove nail polish, I love any color polish except for pinks/nudes. I'm curious about nail stamping, but haven't actually tried it. I love LUSH. I'm always curious about products that are hard to find in the States. I've only recently started on the moisturiser/eye cream regimen, so I'm still in the "trying new things" phase there.


One thing I stay away from at all costs is perfume, so please, no perfume.

Would prefer to ship US and Canada only

Wish list: I have been really wanting to try LUSH products, lotions, soaps, hair care, face cleaners, bath bombs etc. I love trying new beauty related things (sephora is my favorite store) as long as any face lotion/cleanser is oil free as I have oily, acne prone skin.I am not into floral scents and most fall/haloween scents are not my thing. I prefer fruity, vanilla, sweet or neutral scents. I would really really like LUSH products even a bunch of sample sized items. biggrin.gif would be my ideal gift.

Other brands:
-Ive been wanting to try more of The Balm and Too Faced products (neutral colors)
- love Bed bath and beyond & Victoria secret items


This is a great idea I'm very excited thanks Zadi biggrin.gif

Wish List: MATTE shadow with good pigment, fun fragrance that doesn't make me smell like a teenager or an old lady (love Citizen Queen!), Birchbox leather keyring, eye creams, simple/natural face moisturizer, mascaras (I am on a quest and have tried many, LOL!), cute fun statement surprises. I am in this for fun so I don't mind creativity.

Not that into: anything by ELF (sorry), more hair stuff, nail stuff, or lip gloss, anything super religious or Christmasy, goldtone jewelry, false eyelashes, super bright colors.

 

Warning: Spoiler! (more about me!) (Click to show)

 

I am fair skinned and usually wear the second lightest shade in anything. I am a good match for Skin79 Oriental and Dr. Jart Premium (for reference!) I have pink undertones. I do not tan/bronze and like to stay pale. :)

 

I have brown hair and hazel (green/brown) eyes. I look good with neutral browns, purples/pinks, or olives/greens on my eyes.

 

My style can be described as muted bohemian glamor. Boho without being messy-looking (except my sometimes wild curly, long hair). 

I like unique but not over-the-top. Blacks, browns, grays, as main colors with pops of pinks, purples, silvers, deep orange/corals, turquoise. I almost never wear anything white.

 

My ears are double pierced.

 

LOVE handbags/small accessories, jewelry, and fun little things like that. Mostly silvertones for things I wear but any metal makes a fun accent for smaller things.

 

Addicted to coffee and love Teavana too!

 

I don't collect anything (other than too much makeup stuff, LOL).

 

I have tried the following mascaras (off the top of my head) Almost all Maybelline, Cover Girl, Revlon, etc. 2 kinds of Tarte, The Balm Bodybuilder, Benefit They're Real, Blinc, Stila, and more I can't think of now and I just can't find my HG.

 

My fave brands for color cosmetics so far have been Urban Decay and Stila. I like Mattes and can't wait to try the Meet Matt shade coming in this month's Glambag.

 

I like to decorate with autumn colors year-round (cranberries, beiges, avocadoes, browns, blacks, etc.)
