Hi Fairy Godmother! I absolutely adore you already and I am very easy to please, so don't stress! :wub:
I'm going include a in an attempt to make this as easy on you as humanly possible. Specific & general, cheap & expensive, high end & drugstore. These are all just ideas though! If you see something on my high end list that you can dupe with a drugstore brand, do it! I'm all about that. I've tried to specify where there's certain colors I'm interested in or certain colors I already have. If there's nothing after it, that means I'm interested in any color!
I have the links to my Instagram, Twitter, & FB in my signature if you feel like REALLY stalking me!

General Makeup Information:
I rock a lot of bright colors, but use a lot of neutrals too, so this is kind of an anything goes area! LOVE brightly colored eyeliners, liquid or pencil.

I don't really like lipgloss, but I do like liquid lipsticks & regular lipsticks. LOVE eyeshadow & have a ton of it. Aside from what's on my list, I'd love to try more indies (adore GDE). I love bronzers and blushes, coral especially. Not afraid of glitter/shimmer--in fact, the more the better. Lover of false lashes!

Also including my survey for convenience:
Absolute must-answers (note: If you do not wish to post answers to these three questions in public, please send a PM to @magicalmomhttp:////user/93025-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! Well, I’m kind of hoping you don’t buy me deodorant but..if you do, please know I’m allergic to almost all of them. If you must, buy Secret!
· Dietary restrictions: Do you or anyone in your household have any food-related restrictions/sensitivities, etc? Would you prefer not to receive food items? No restrictions. Always happy to receive food.
· 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? Nah, not really.
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? Whatever you’d prefer! I’m almost always home during the day, so I’d be able to get it even if I wasn’t expecting it.
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/131909-allistra44s-midsummer-nights-dreamlist

· Cruelty-free or vegan. Important, must-have, nice, don't care? Nice, but not necessary.

· Please list any subscription boxes you receive, along with anything you may covet from recent boxes. Birchbox, Ipsy, GDE OTM. Also, Julep but I almost always skip. Lately, Glossybox & Popsugar but only if there are good spoilers & a coupon! Will post coveted items in dreamlist.
· 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? Totally ok with all of these things!
· Assuming the same dollar amount is spent, would you prefer several mini items, or one or two full-sized items? Minis, but full sizes of things I love would be greatly appreciated as well!
Brand-and-color-specific time!
· What is your all-time favorite beauty item and why? Mascara, probably. It’s my absolutely must-have, even if I don’t have anything else on.

General product section, aka not brand/color specific
· What one product can you just not get enough of? Eyeliner.
· What one product do you actually use more than any other? What runs out quickest in your make-up drawer? Mascara.
· 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)? None.
· What items (makeup/skincare/tool) do you feel are missing from your routine? Brushes.
· What tools/products are you looking to add, even if they are not missing? See above.
· What beauty-related product(s) do you just not want to receive? Lip gloss. BB creams.
Brands:

· What brand(s) have you been wanting to try but haven't gotten around to? NARS & Lorac. More LUSH.
· What brand(s) do you not want? None.
Colors (not specific shades):
· Answer quick like a bunny! Favorite color? Green.
· Favorite color combination? GREEN AND GOLD. GO PACK GO!
· Color scheme of your home/room, either in reality or your imagination. Room is brown/teal.
· What one color (not brand/product specific) do you use more than any other? Why? Green, because I like it. Also, my eyes are green.
· Color(s) to avoid? Blue.
Scents
· What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent of all time? What's your favorite perfume/wearable scent to wear in the summer? All time, DKNY Be Delicious. I don’t really base my scents on season..current obsessions are Coach Poppy + Betsey Johnson Too Too Pretty.
· What is the fragrance of your favorite home fragrance (e.g., candle, diffuser)? Glade Live Loud! So unfortunately that it’s limited edition.
· Describe your favorite scents/notes, without naming a specific perfume or fragrance. I really just like light scents, fruity or floral.
· Without naming a specific perfume or fragrance, what are your favorite perfume companies? Favorite home fragrance companies? Pacifica.
· 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. Diffuser/Candle.
· Other than perfume/fragrance oils, what is your favorite type of toiletry/scented item? Hair products!

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

· Deluxe Samples: Yes.
· Hair Oil: Yes.

· 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. Oh, it’s all about me. But Izzy, my puppy, would probably not be opposed to toys/treats & whatnot.
· 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? Wrapped individually. 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? At the dog park or fishing on the boat with the boyfriend. If I’m feeling less ambitious, on the porch with a drink and a book.
And advanced fun stuff:
· What do you do in your spare time? Are there any hobby-related items you would like? I love crafty things-especially home projects (aka Pinterest obsessed). Doing my first garden this year! Borderline obsessed with my dog, so I spend a lot of time going on walks/at the dog park.

Favorite TV shows: Pretty Little Liars, New Girl, The Mindy Project, Dexter, Nurse Jackie, True Blood, Chuck, The Walking Dead, South Park, House, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, Weeds, The Office, Parks & Rec…I could go on and on.

Other related obsessions: Alice in Wonderland, in general. Harry Potter obsessed forever & ever (Gryffindor). Disney anything. Fairytale related things. Liz Lemon is my spirit animal.
· What non-beauty item(s) would send you over the moon? I know it’s summer but, mittens, scarves (winter or fashion), socks. Snacks, Candy, Chocolate. Pens. A cute mug.
· Pirates or ninjas? Pirates, definitely.

Yes/no, the extras division:
· Virtual gifts (ecerts/gift certs/eBooks)-sure! If you decide to go that route, I have a Kindle.
· Hand-made items (from your godparent or purchased)-LOVE. I’m going to cry no matter what you get me because that’s how I am but I’ll cry extra if there’s something homemade (in a good way, of course).
· Candles-Love them!
· Tarts-Yep-have a warmer.
· Reed Diffusers-Yep.
