IT'S TIME!  This is the thread for survey posting!  A few admin notes:

  • Filling this out is not absolutely mandatory, but it will help your Fairy Godmother considerably in figuring out what to get.
  • Filling out THE WHOLE THING is not mandatory.  Aside from the first three mandatory questions (allergies, dietary restrictions, skin sensitivities), feel free to pick and choose what to answer or skip entirely!  We're just trying to get to know *you* better.  I know if my Goddaughter has a fondness for Wonder Woman, there is likely to be a shiny pin in her future!
  • Also not mandatory:  Sending out extras.  They're not to be expected, but I know many of us want to send them out!
  • If you would like your survey answers and/or dreamlist linked in the directory in this post (in the spoiler box right before the survey questions), please tag me in your response.  I'll update every evening!
  • If you missed tagging me in your original post and would still like to be added, please PM me!
  • PLEASE LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE POST IN THIS THREAD!  Your post will lock for editing after twenty-four hours.  Rather than adding a second (third, fourth, twentieth...) post, please just create a dreamlist in the Buy/Sell/Trade section.  PM me with that link, and I will add it to your survey post. 
  • Any other questions?  Just post in the Discussion thread or PM @, @, or me.
Because I've been asked, a few tutorial bits:  
To create a spoiler box, just type this without the spaces (this works whether you're on mobile or desktop):
[ s p o i l e r ] Then type whatever.  Then type [ / s p o i l e r ]

Y'know, I am so used to just typing it out since I'm usually on my phone that I didn't notice there's no longer a spoiler button.

And creating a Buy Sell Trade post.  First, go here:
https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/forum/103-makeup-nails/

Click on Start New Topic.  Then fill out your dreamlist title, then fill out the body of the post, then click Post New Topic, et voila!  You have a new url to add to your survey and/or signature!

I'm going to put the Directory under a spoiler cut because this post is long enough as it is.


Thanks!  Let's pretend there's a :grouphug: smiley here.  And now, the survey!

Survey! I put this behind a spoiler because, it's long

Absolute must-answers:

  • Allergies: None that I know of!
  • Dietary restrictions: I'm generally a vegetarian.  I occasionally make exceptions to this rule, but only for locally-sourced, hormone (beef) & steroid free (chicken) animals (cage free, grass fed). If you really care to know more, I'm happy to expand
  • Skin allergies/sensitivities: I avoid sulfates and parabens in hair products.  My scalp is not a fan.
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?  Either is fine!  I'll be traveling sometime in June (trying to remember the dates for this) so it might be helpful to alert my roommates if I'll be not at my apartment.

Not mandatory but cannot be recommended highly enough:  Do you have an on-forum swap/Midsummer Dream list?  If it's anywhere other than this post, URL here, please!  Holler.  I'll work on this. I worked on this!  I didn't add much :/  But this is here too!  https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/131910-midsummer-nights-dreamlist-survey/

Basic background information:

Style descriptions! Brief is better.

  • Makeup: Olivey complexion- redness in the cheeks.  Combination skin (T-zone issues) no acne.  Light on face, big on eyes and lips.
  • Hair: My hair is thick and wavy- and really dark, so I stick to beach curls and blowouts- actually spending time on my hair is not a priority for me.
  • Nails: Short and stubby! I play the guitar and other stringed instruments of the sort, so I keep my nails short.  I typically go for pretty corals and blacks
  • Skincare (face/neck) I need to be better at this.  I wash my face.. when I shower.. and occasionally I do masks.. Low maintenance.
  • Bodycare (every where else) Love it. All of it. I love things that are hyper moisturizing and don't smell like flowers.
  • Home: Rustic? Main colors in my room are baby blue and red, with a bit of a mustardy yellow, cream, and dark forest green thrown in. Quite different than my personal style, I essentially only wear black.  And gold.  Black and  gold.
More advanced questions:

  • Solve for X: I am wearing too much black eyeliner, and I DO NOT CARE!
  • Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? Important, but not a must-have.
  • You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? Lush. Probably 8 gazillion massage bars.  And Dark Angels face wash.
  • Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. Currently, just Birchbox.  I've been thinking about Ipsy again since the bags are getting better but.. eh.  I would have LOVED Popsugar's April 2014 box, but I didn't jump on that like a dummy *facepalm*.  I also just got a Beautybox 5 and a Memebox, but I'm not a *regular subscriber*
  • 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? 100% okay with dis :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
  • Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items?  I will be happy with whatever :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I'm a sucker for minis (they're adorable, right?), but I love full sized items too (so amazingly convenient).  


Brand-and-color-specific time!

  • What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why?  Gotta be black eyeliner.  Cause it's magical.  Not brand specific, I think I own 80.
  • What specific product(s) are you lusting after? Feel free to link to a wishlist with particulars!  This is way way out of the budget so don't even think about it, but I have an irrational love for the UD Electric palette.  One day I'll just.. buy it.  Cause.. I want to.
  • What make-up items do you use every day?  Black eyeliner, mascara, and some kind of lipstick.  That's minimal.  Full day I use everything in my makeup bag.
  • What are your holy grail items? Holy crap? HG is They're Real mascara- especially the minis.  For some reason, the minis work better for me, maybe I'm crazy.  Holy crap item?  Um.. I dunno.. I really hate Dr. Jart's BB cream- but mostly because it looks grey on my skin.  Way to go, olive complexion.
  • What one item/product are you interested in, but just have't gotten around to trying?  Indie makeup brands.  I think they're so cool.  If whoever's my godmother loves indie brands and can help me out in that way, I'd love it.  If not, I'm totally a Sephora gal too :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Also I need to get a handle on how to use loose shadows.. cause damn.. I'm terrible at it.


General product section, aka not brand/color specific

  • What one product can you just not get enough of?  Eyeliner for makeup.. I'm such a sucker for all things moisturizing related and yummy smelling.  Like, if you smell it and want to eat it (anywhere from a cookie to a cucumber.. and oranges) I'm down.
  • What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? Mascara.  And eyeliner.. cause.. maybe no one wants to tell me that I look like the emo kid from middle school.
  • 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)?  I just found out that I have an irrational aversion to makeup products with the word "cheese" in the title.  Thanks, Memebox.  But I'll try just about everything once.
  • What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine?  Better eyeshadow brushes, specifically, a pencil brush.. I have one that I use for everything.. thanks, Real Techniques crease brush, you get me through most days.
  • What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing?  I'm gonna refer to my previous answer, I long for a beautiful pencil brush.
  • What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive?  Lipgloss.  I just don't like it.


Brands:

  • What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason?  Benefit.  Because they always have Birchbox events and give me wine.  And then because I'm tipsy, I forget what a spending limit is.
  • What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to?  Indies.  So intrigued, don't know where to start.
  • What brand(s) do you not want?  Umm.  I'm a packaging sucker.. so things that aren't prettily packaged generally will get no attention.  Here's looking at you, Chocolate Bar Palette impulse buy- you're just too adorable.


Colors (not specific shades)

  • Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color?  Black!  And coral.  I need to become a purple person though- I'm headed to Northwestern about the time all of this happens!
  • Favorite color combination?  Black and gold.
  • Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination.  Ooh did I answer that other question wrongly?  Light blue and red :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
  • What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why?  Copper/gold.  It brings out the lovely sunkissedness of my olive complexion *flips hair*
  • Color(s) to avoid?  Yellow.  My olive undertones are NOT a fan.  Unless looking bruised is in this year.


Scents

  • What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent to wear in the summer?  I'm into my Fresh Life Rollerball.  And citrus.
  • What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)?  Vanilla things.  Because I want to be able to eat what I'm smelling.  I have a wallflower though constantly plugged in (okay, maybe two) that are always in Fresh Linen.
  • Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance.  Vanilla, citrus, sandalwood (light), woody, grass, fresh, light
  • Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? Favorite home fragrance companies?  Bath and Body Works for home (they're all I use..), and to be honest, I'm not a huge perfume person.. I care more about the scent than the brand.
  • What form of perfume do you prefer (oil, alcohol-based, spray, open bottle, rollerball)? What form of home fragrance do you prefer (candle, diffuser, air freshener, plug-in)?  Rollerball till I die.  Spraying stuff makes me cough.  I use plug ins in my room, diffusers in my closet, and candles all the time.  Where I can see them.
  • Other than perfume/fragrance oils, what is your favorite type of toiletry/scented item?  Conditioners and hair things.  Holy jesus Living Proof's smell and Amika's smell and Beauty Protector's smell.  And It's A 10 if it didn't make my scalp want to break out into an icky mess.
  • Scent(s)/notes(s) to avoid?  Florals.. and "white" smells.  Not a fan.  Headache central.


And finally (at least for the beauty section) Yes/No?

  • Foils- Yes
  • Deluxe Samples -Yes
  • Hair Oil- YES
  • Face Oil- YES
  • Perfume- Depends
  • Sunblock/Sunscreen- Nope
  • Self-tanner/tanning wipes- Yes


And extra non-makeup-related questions!

  • What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3) Kate Spade, anything from Express, uhh.. yeah, that's where I shop.
  • List any public wishlists (Amazon, etsy, Sephora), swap lists and/or Tumbler/Pinterest entries your fairy godparent should consult... nada, sorry :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
  • 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. Not to be selfish or anything.. but.. it's just me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I have plant babies that I'm trying not to kill, does that count?  Herb garden, you will be mine.
  • 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 love things that are wrapped individually, and I'll tear into it.
  • 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?  On my rooftop, reading a book.  Or going to the beach, and also reading a book.  Of course, this is after I've slept in and browsed the internet/caught up on the TV program I missed last night...


And advanced fun stuff:

  • What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like?  I'm a yoga person- and I'm trying to get into the running thing.  I love coffee and tea, and I'm a huge craft beer nerd.  I love outdoorsy stuff, like climbing and hiking.  And I love horses.  Love love love horses- I used to compete English and 3-Day :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.  And giraffes.

  • What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon?  Chocolate, coffee, tea, sweets in general.  LOCAL ITEMS.  I want local items from your homeplace.  I love stuff like that.  And homemade things.  Also love those things.
  • Pirates or ninjas?  Pirates?
  • Zombies: Yay or nay?  Well, I don't think I'd last long in a zombie apocalypse, but I also don't think I'd last long in THG.  But I love the fandom.
  • Disney! Favorite movie, hero, villain?  FROZEN for now.  I'm a HUGE Little Mermaid fan.  My room used to be entirely Little Mermaid.  And I have 3 DVD copies of it- regular, diamond, and platinum.. and the lithographs.. yeah.. okay.  I should stop now.  Big Disney fan.  Let's go with that.
  • Describe three things decorating your living space.  Popchartlab posters.  And beautifully designed beer posters.  I also have a sliding door that I repurposed into my headboard and fashioned with twinkly lights.  I also have a mason jar chandelier.

  • Beverages (and what types) Tea, coffee, things you ain't supposed to ship in a box.
  • Puzzle Books -- words, numbers, pictures: I'm a word puzzle person.  I love fill it ins, crosswords.. things of that nature.  In another life (6 months ago..) I was studying for the LSAT and all I studied was the games section.  And I want to be a journalist (gonna be.  J SCHOOL WHADDUP), so I love words.  And I was a Spanish undergrad major.  And I'm trying to learn Arabic.  Did I mention that I'm a words person?

If the latter, please list age/gender/species.  You totally do not have to do anything for them, but I do have three large dogs.  They like treats, rawhide, and the youngest loves the bubble wrap with the small bubbles—he can destroy any toy in seconds, but a sheet of that stuff will occupy him for around an hour.  If you wrapped everything in bubble wrap he would think it was the best day ever!
·        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?

·        What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like?  I like to garden.  Most of my plants are perennials/bulbs (i.e. active during the spring/summer and dormant during the winter—just like me).  I would take a cute pair of gardening gloves or tall socks over flip flops any day.

Wahoo!  I figured it out.  SO FUN.  I'm loving getting to know all you ladies!  

(Tagging @@meaganola to put in the directory.)

Absolute must-answers (note:  If you do not wish to post answers to these three questions in public, please send a PM to @magicalmom.  These answers will only be shared with your Fairy Godparent):

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

• Dietary restrictions: Do you or anyone in your household have any food-related restrictions/sensitivities, etc? Would you prefer not to receive food items? I love food.  I love snacks, chocolate, candy.  Yes to food of any kind.  ;-)

Skin allergies/sensitivities: Do you or anyone in your household have any skin allergies/sensitivities not already listed that your Fairy Godparent should know about (e.g., wool, metals in jewelry, etc)? Do you avoid silicone, sulfates, etc? Nope.  Send me anything.

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?  It’s up to my Fairy Godmother.  This is just as much fun for her as it is for me so I’ll let her decide what she wants to do.

 

Not mandatory but cannot be recommended highly enough:  Do you have an on-forum swap/Midsummer Dream list?  If it's anywhere other than this post, URL here, please! https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/131932-midsummer-nights-magical-list-of-answers/ 

Basic background information:

Style descriptions! Brief is better.

Makeup - I wear anything & any brand.  Neutrals, Brights, Colors, Pastels.  I just love makeup.  Introduce me to your favorite colors & brands.  I’m up for a new adventure.

Hair - I have short blond hair.  I straighten it with a flat iron or flip it out.  I do enjoy hair products & end up sharing a lot of them with my daughters.  I love putting flower clips or vintage-y bows above my ear.

Nails - Painted ALWAYS.  I wear any colors & love different finishes.  I’ve never tried indie polishes or Butter London, but hear they’re great.  I wear anything though.

Skincare (face/neck) - I’m a skincare addict.  I love exfoliators, masks, cleansers, oils, lotions, serums, eye creams.  I use it all & love it & love trying new things.

Bodycare (every where else) - I love baths & showers.  LUSH is heaven on Earth to me.  I use a lot of lotion & hand creams.  I prefer food/fruity smelling things over florals.  I’m a “fruity” person.  ;-)

Home - mint green & khaki (living room), neutral for the rest of the house (want to paint more, but one thing at a time).  I’m a Mickey Mouse fanatic so my bathroom & kitchen are all Mickey Mouse: black, red, white, with hints of yellow.

More advanced questions:

• Solve for X: I am wearing too much X, and I DO NOT CARE! Bright Lipstick

Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care?  It’s nice, but I’m not picky.  I’m grateful for anything you send so don’t stress about this.

• You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? Sephora & the Naked 2 Palette 

Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. Birchbox, Julep occasionally, Starlooks, Glossybox occasionally.  There’s not anything I covet right now.  I just love it all.

• 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?  YES!  This swap is NOT about me. . . it’s about ME learning about YOUR favorite things.  You are introducing me to YOUR favorites.  Send me ANYTHING.

• Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items?  I’m a mini girl, but will accept anything given to me.  I’m just grateful to be here.

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.  I’m good either way.  I have a bazillion family members so I would feel bad asking for things for them.  You’re sweet to do something for me so I don’t expect anything more than that.  I’m married to my hubby Trek who is active duty Air Force, & I have six kiddos (3 girls & then 3 boys): Cadence (11), Lorien (9), Taya (7), Bladen (5), Craiger (3), & Canyon (1).

• 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?  Oh definitely wrapped individually.  I’m SO slow & methodical it’s ridiculous.  I think of this whole thing as a full on “experience” so I want to cherish every second of it.

I love being with my kids. . .coloring, watching movies, playing games (we play a TON of games at our house), & just snuggle time.

Fandoms, favorite TV shows, movies, books, music, Hogwarts house, etc. Oh man, where do I start?  Doctor Who all the way.  Someday I’ll take my ride in Tardis & explore the galaxy with the doctor.  ;-)  I love Disney anything.  I used to work for Disney as an Imagineer & was even offed a job as parade Belle.  I love anything & everything Disney related.  My bathroom & kitchen are Mickey Mouse.  I’m obsessed.  I like syfy movies like Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Harry Potter, Star Wars, anything Marvel related. . . not a big chick flick gal.  My favorite book is “Daddy Long-Legs” . . . it’s an oldie but a goodie.  I mostly listen to soundracks & classical music since I’m a musician, but I’ll listen to anything too.  I’m a total Gryffindor & love the Harry Potter series.  (My last name is Potter. . . how could I not?)

What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon? Food, chocolate. . . :)  I love games too & am always looking for a new one I can play with my family.  Disney or Doctor Who anything.

I LOVE Disney villains.  I can’t pick just one: Malificent, Captain Hook, Scar, Ursula, Mother Gothel, Hades, Jafar, love them all.

  • 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.  Doesn’t matter.  I do have 3 cats but it could be all about me as well.  I’m indifferent to it.
  • 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 prefer wrapped individually if it wasn’t too much trouble.  In my head I like to think I would open everything slowly but it would probably be bows and paper flying.

[SIZE=medium] •Nails – I’m experimenting more lately with bright colors, glitter, indie polishes and holographic shades.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Skincare (face/neck) – I usually use Clinique 3-Step, but also enjoy a good mask and treatments with aromatherapy[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Bodycare (every where else) – lots of scented stuff![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Home – Eclectic.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]More advanced questions:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Solve for X: I am wearing too much X, and I DO NOT CARE![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Too many maxi dresses. I am plus-sized but want to get cuter and shorter dresses that don’t make me look like a rhino.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Cruelty-free is good and I feel safe with any product approved for sale in the EU. Vegan is not necessary, but I won’t turn down a good-quality vegan product![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Probably Ulta, and I would right now stock up on bath salts and a nice lip gloss.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]I currently take Birchbox, Ipsy, Sample Society and Julep. I am waiting on my first Beauty Box 5. I’m really wanting the Too Faced bronzer that may be in my May Ipsy, and the Laqa lip colors I think I recently saw in a Birchbox.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •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?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]As far as food, with very few exceptions I respectfully request that any candy or food items be kept to a minimum as I am diabetic. Many samples such as hair and body products already come frequently unsealed, so as long as it appears to have a decent quantity of product and the caps are well-attached to prevent leakage, I’m good.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Either a little of both, or a pile of minis![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] Brand-and-color-specific time![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Clinique Black Honey lipstick. I can put it on without a mirror and it looks flawless; it goes with everything; everyone can wear it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What specific product(s) are you lusting after? Feel free to link to a wishlist with particulars![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]For some reason I cannot find my recent wish list on this site! My recent cravings include Too Faced bronzer and shadow sets, Stila convertible colors (Peony, Lillium) and lip/cheek colors, as well as lip glazes; Clinique base and powder (haven’t been to the counter yet—if you go with this, please use Covergirl shade 120 Creamy Natural as a guide); shadows in plums, mauves, berries, neutrals, greens;  liners in fun colors; MAC lipstick in Russian Red or Fetish; a nice champagne-pink or rose gold allover face color or highlighter; light-toned bronzers and blushes; scented hand creams, bath salts and body butters.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What make-up items do you use every day?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Lipstick or lip gloss, always; blush or bronzer, sometimes both; powder[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What are your holy grail items? Holy crap?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]By Terry Rose balm, which does a real number on rough cuticles and lips. I rarely buy it, but it is a worthwhile splurge and lasts a good long while. My holy crap items are probably the entirety of the Chanel skin care line and 100% Pure makeup.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What one item/product are you interested in, but just have't gotten around to trying?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Inglot products. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •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)?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]None really; any issues I would have would be due to allergies, but fortunately I have little issue with most makeup and skincare (except for a really bad reaction to Chanel products once.)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Eye and nail colors. I just recently got back into wearing shadows again after nearly 20 years of just wearing liners, and I want to expand my nail wardrobe.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]I’d like to get a nicer set of brushes.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Mascara, only because I have enough of it right now to last me into the next presidential administration. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Brands:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Maybe NYC, because it’s so cheap and I like to test the waters with new colors by trying with less expensive products before spending big bucks.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Inglot; Butter London (only the color cosmetics, I’ve tried the polishes); Calvin Klein (makeup only); MUFE; Smashbox; Lorac.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What brand(s) do you not want? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Not really; I’m fairly open minded about brands ranging from drugstore to the highest end. I do not want Chanel skin care, however![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Colors (not specific shades):[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Purple![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Favorite color combination? Purple and Pink[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination Pearl gray and light pink[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why? Light to medium berry  shades, because they seem to work right with me.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •Color(s) to avoid?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] Oh dear God, orange!!! It rarely works with me as anything but an accent color on clothing, and I never wear it as a main color if I can help it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Scents[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent to wear in the summer?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]My all-time favorite scent is called Isvaraya by Indult. In the warm months I like CKOne, Guerlain Acqua Allegoria herba Fresca, Origins Ginger Essence, L’Occitane Lemon Verbena, Jean Nate, Bath and Body Works White Citrus.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]I have cats and would love to see some kitty toys (I respectfully request no feather trim) and/or catnip![/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •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?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]I’d like little bitty wrappings that I will tear into with claws and teeth.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •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?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]And advanced fun stuff:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium] •What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like?[/SIZE]

Random Kellie Comments: I love trying new things, and I'm a terrible girl. Or at least I was until I started reading and creeping on MUT and sub boxes so now I'm an Ok girl. However I am open to trying new things. So I hope this was helpful. Some more random things, I fundraiser for a huge state school for a living. I work with college students while doing this, so despite being almost 27 I work with a ton of 18-22 year olds every day! I can't spell. I have a super dry sarcastic sense of humor, I'm very honest, sometimes to a fault. I am HOPING to get a promotion soon where I travel a ton! I LOVE to travel, all over the place. My favorite memory traveling is Zipling in Costa Rica over the rainforest. I highlight encourage anyone who loves traveling to do this!  I also work nights and weekends. I LOVE to read, country music, etc.  I'm trying to think of other fun facts. I like makeup ;-), Subscription Boxes, Jewelry! Oh I am super into loooong necklaces now, and urm... My ears are pierced. (ya know just so you know) and I can share anything else you want to know! Just get someone else to ask lol! 

 
Mod reminder: One post per person in here, please! If you are having technical problems, please PM @ or me, and one of us will fix it for you. I may not be able to get to it until the evening because I'm on mobile during the day, and that sucks for editing, but if I can't take care of it during the day, it *will* be fixed that evening when I get home from work. Thanks!

 
Will the third time be the charm?

Absolute must-answers:
•ALLERGIES!! Please list any allergies to products, foods, scents, etc., that you or anyone living in your household has! None
•Dietary restrictions: Do you or anyone in your household have any food-related restrictions/sensitivities, etc? Would you prefer not to receive food items? While we LOVE food of all sorts, temperatures in the 90s + a black mailbox = picture in the dictionary of “hot mess.” Probably best not to send food items in the summer, thanks.
•Skin allergies/sensitivities: Do you or anyone in your household have any skin allergies/sensitivities not already listed that your Fairy Godparent should know about (e.g., wool, metals in jewelry, etc)? Do you avoid silicone, sulfates, etc? No.
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? I enjoy package stalking, so if I could get a heads-up when it’s on the way, that would be great!
Not mandatory but cannot be recommended highly enough: Do you have an on-forum swap/Midsummer Dream list? If it's anywhere other than this post, URL here, please!

Basic background information:

Style descriptions! Brief is better.
• Makeup – Neutral, classic most of the time. I do LOVE colored mascara, though
• Hair – Very fine, slightly longer than shoulder length, light brown with blonde highlights
• Nails – I wear EVERY NAIL POLISH. Love it all!
• Skincare (face/neck) – I am religiously using PTR Laser-free eye and face serum. Otherwise, I just use whatever is around, as long as it’s not for oily skin/acne (I’m normal – slightly dry).
• Bodycare (every where else) – Shower gel girl (don’t do bars). I generally avoid body lotion because I can’t stand the “sticky” feeling (although I will generally just use body lotion as hand lotion, so feel free to send). I am obsessive about cuticle products.
• Home – I usually get answers like “eclectic classics” when I take online home style quizzes. Colors are primarily blue and yellow.
 

More advanced questions:
•Solve for X: I am wearing too much mascara*, and I DO NOT CARE! * I do try to keep it below Tammy Faye Bakker level, though. And if you have to google her to see what I mean, boy, am I too old for this.
•Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? Nice to have, but not necessary
•You just won a $50 gift card to your favorite beauty store. Which store is it, and what will you buy? Sephora and I’d probably buy some new skin care product.
•Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. I get 2 Birchboxes, Julep, Glitter Guilty, the Rainbow Honey mystery bag, Square Hue, Glossybox, the Llarowe Box Indied … honestly, I can’t think of anything I’m really lusting after from any of them.
•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? I’ve had some bad experiences with these things, I’d rather not receive these, thanks.
•Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? Either is fine, but I generally prefer minis of things I haven’t tried before.
 

Brand-and-color-specific time!
•What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why? My Beauty Blender. I always had issues getting the right amount of coverage, but with the BB, my foundation looks great every day.
•What specific product(s) are you lusting after? Feel free to link to a wishlist with particulars!

Also – see Midsummer Wishlist on MUT
•What make-up items do you use every day? Foundation, blush, concealer and highlighter pencil, brow powder & gel, lash primer, mascara and waterproof top coat, black tightline, lip balm.
•What are your holy grail items? Holy crap? HG: ABH Lash Genius, KvD Tatoo liner HC: most lip glosses because I don’t like the sticky feeling from them
•What one item/product are you interested in, but just haven't gotten around to trying? L’Oreal Butterfly Effects mascara in black or blackest black
 

General product section, aka not brand/color specific
•What one product can you just not get enough of? Nail Polish! Also, mini-mascaras
•What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? Black mascara (though maybe because I tend to use minis)
•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)? I’m not a big fan of most lipsticks or glosses. I just don’t like the feeling on my lips.
•What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine? Lip colors! If I could find some that I like, I would probably buy them forever!
•What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing? I am currently using a Kevyn Aucoin lash curler, but am not crazy about it. Would love a suggestion!
•What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive? Hair products. My hair is fussy and I’ve finally got a good routine down with it. Also, skin care items for oily/acne skin.
 

Brands:
•What brand do you have more products from than any other? Any particular reason? Urban Decay – I got a lot of their eyeliners when they were on sale last year.
•What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to? Can’t think of any!
•What brand(s) do you not want? Any of the Ipsy fails; BAB,
 

Colors (not specific shades):
•Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Pink
•Favorite color combination? Black and tan
•Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination: soft blues and yellows, with some pops of caramel and dark red
•What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why? Not “a” color, but other than nails and eyeliners (where anything goes), I tend to stick with a fairly neutral, relatively medium tone palette. “Latte”, medium “greige”, pink-peach blushes
•Color(s) to avoid? Bold lipsticks or eyeshadows; shimmery blushes
 

Scents
•What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent to wear in the summer? Bvlgari Pour Femme is my “all time” favorite. In summer, I like Clinique Happy and Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey
•What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)? I tend to go with “clean” scents, like Yankee Candle “Clean Cotton”, lemon, or “beachy” scents, like BBW “Dancing Waters” in the summer. Winter/fall – I like cinnamon and pumpkin.
•Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance. In perfumes, I tend to go with florals, maybe with a bit of woodsy notes. I also like anything “beachy” … as long as it doesn’t have coconut
•Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? Favorite home fragrance companies? Jo Malone, Annick Goutal, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga
•What form of perfume do you prefer (oil, alcohol-based, spray, open bottle, rollerball)? What form of home fragrance do you prefer (candle, diffuser, air freshener, plug-in)? For perfume, spray. Home fragrance – nothing electric
•Other than perfume/fragrance oils, what is your favorite type of toiletry/scented item? Shower gel
•Scent(s)/notes(s) to avoid? Coconut, apple,
 

And finally (at least for the beauty section), Yes/No?
•Foils Yes
•Deluxe Samples Yes
•Hair Oil No, thanks
•Face Oil Yes
•Perfume Yes
•Sunblock/Sunscreen No, thanks
•Self-tanner/tanning wipes No, thanks.
 

And extra non-makeup-related questions!
•What designs/designers do you prefer (please limit to top 3) Can’t think of any
•List any public wishlists (Amazon, etsy, Sephora), swap lists and/or Tumbler/Pinterest entries your fairy godparent should consult. Sephora list is above
•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. Honey, this is ALL about me! I’ve oohed and aaahed over enough of my husband’s stuff that I don’t feel at all bad about opening things in front of him. And – while we have 5 cats – they are mostly interested in the box. Literally.
•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 am somewhat compulsive. I loved opening all the individual items and photographing them one by one. But if that’s not your thing, Fairy Godmother, that’s OK with me.
•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? In an air-conditioned room, praying for winter!
 

And advanced fun stuff:
•What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like? I like to knit (socks and small items), read obsessively, photography and making photo books.
•Fandoms, favorite TV shows, movies, books, music, Hogwarts house, etc. Don’t know if I’d call it “fandom” but my fave TV shows are Sherlock and Downtown Abbey. Don’t like “reality” type shows. I would “self-sort” into Ravenclaw, but Pottermore made me a Gryffindor. In addition to Harry Potter, I read a lot of “cozy”-type mysteries and non-fiction business books. Louise Penny is my current favorite author.
•What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon?
•Pirates or ninjas? Ninja pirates, of course!
•Zombies: Yay or nay? Yay – after 4 seasons, my husband finally sucked me in to “Walking Dead”
•Disney! Favorite movie, hero, villain? Sleeping Beauty, Merriweather, Maleficent
•Describe three things decorating your living space. My Nana’s antique Blue Willow platter, watercolorish prints I made of photos from my trips and some paintings from my husband’s boyhood home
 

Yes/no, the extras division:
•Virtual gifts (ecerts/gift certs/eBooks) sure – Amazon.com is probably best
•Hand-made items (from your godparent or purchased) Absolutely!
•Candles Sure
•Tarts -- No, thanks
•Reed Diffusers -- No, thanks
•Incense -- No, thanks
•Other home fragrance (say, room spray or scented rocks) -- No, thanks

•Mix CD -- No, thanks, I don’t really listen to a lot of music
•Home Items (and what types) -- No, thanks
•Food Items (and what types) -- No, thanks
