Specific Beauty Wants

Please note that I do NOT expect tor receive any of these and will be thrilled no matter what you get me.  I also know some are 'over budget' and want to be most especially clear that I do not expect anyone to go over budget.  They are also not meant to be an exhaustive list of things I'd love to try from the brands listed AT ALL. These are merely meant as a jumping off point if my Godfairy feels better about knowing /buying specific wants AND for my Godfairy to use if they so choose as inspiration in helping me discover other different products! They are also essentially compensating for the fact that I don't have a 'wishlist' at any specific website if my Godfairy would like one.



Lush: Bubblegum or mint julep or popcorn lip scrubs. Butterball, Rose Queen, Tisty Tosty, Softy, Fox in the Flowers, The Sicillian, or Sakura bath bombs. Madame Butterfly, Rose, Karma, French Kiss, or Pop in the Bath Bubble Bars. Dreamtime Luxury Bath Melt. The Sacred Truth Face Mask. ANY massage bar.

Stilla: After Glow Lip Color, Smudge Pot (NOT in black), Lip and Cheek Stain, Spring Fling Lip Glaze Trio, color me pretty lip and cheek palette, portrait of a perfect pout- vibrant lip, portrait of a perfect blush, Smudge Sticks.


And just a list of random things I LOVE that you can use or not:

  • ALLERGIES!! Please list any allergies to products, foods, scents, etc., that you or anyone living in your household has! None, thank you!

  • Nails My nails are ALWAYS polished and often sparkly.

  • What one item/product are you interested in, but just have't gotten around to trying? Jurlique Rose Love Balm, 29 Wine Blot Age Protecting Lip Treatment, Sephora + Pantone Universe Liquid Lash Silk Mascara in Emerald.

Brands:

  • What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason? I don’t know.  I am pretty distributed across brands.
  • What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to? I really want to try WEI, The Balm, Suki, TokyoMilk, and MAC!
  • What brand(s) do you not want? Bath and body works (unless it’s candles- can always use more candles!) just because I have sooooo much already.

Colors (not specific shades):

  • 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? Whatever, just have fun!
  • 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? Beach, reading.

And advanced fun stuff:
