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.

[Jackieblue]

Username: jackieblue

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.

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. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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.)

About Me/Wish List

I am very fair with freckles, strawberry blonde with green eyes.  I color my hair to restore it to its natural color...haha!!  Don't wear much foundation and my makeup look is pretty minimal, but I do like to wear makeup when I go out.  I also love to experiment with new colors & applications.

I remarried 4 years ago and live in San Diego with my hubby, 3 sons, 2 stepsons, a cat, and a dog.  Luckily my dog is a female so I am not totally outnumbered by the men.  My hobbies are gardening, reading, traveling, crafts, and cooking.  I have been ill for the last two years so I no longer work, which means I have lots of time on my hands.  One day when I was bored to death I looked online and found NAIL ART!  I was hooked.  I quickly went from having 10 nail polishes (all light pink & nude) to almost 400 in every color, finish, and brand.  I belong to several internet groups and have met some really wonderful ladies through this hobby.  I really love the looks that can be achieved with nail stamping, but so far I have not perfected my technique so I'm still practicing.

My wish list would include, of course, Nail Polish and any other nail or nail art related items (cuticle cream, rhinestones, nail decals, etc). Because I have so many polishes I have started to collect Indie Brands like Rainbow Honey, 365 Days of Color, Perceptions Nail Lacquer.  I really love holos and glitter!  Some of the polishes I'm looking for are L'Oreal Brit Invasion, A England Dragon, Sonnetarium After the Rain, Rainbow Honey Worst Possible Thing.  I also have started collecting Foreign Polishes.

I have recently started wearing more eyeliner so I'm looking for a good one that someone with unsteady hands can use.  I'd really love to try a felt pen eyeliner in a soft brown but haven't found one.  I should also say that another hobby is taking baths...can that be a hobby??  Love any sort of bubble bath, bath oil, bath fizzies, body scrubs in food scents like vanilla, brown sugar, sugar cookie, those sorts of scents.  Always looking for lipstick/lipstain/lipgloss in clear bright berry colors.  I found Melvita Rose Water on Birchbox and I'm hooked - I use it everyday!  I use Ole Hendriksen products for my face and I love them, best stuff I've every used.  I'm also a tea and candle lover,  and chocolate will be my downfall!  Oh and I really like handmade, crafty stuff.

I do not like crackle nail polish, most perfumes, dark makeup colors, spicy food, and my ex-husband.  : )

I love nail polish especially Zoya, Essie, Color Club, OPI, Butter London Julep etc- love jewel tones, glitters, shimmefrs, brights; don't care for: nudes, beiges, light pinks.

I also love makeup especially by Tarte, benefit, Urban Decay, Stilla, Nars, Mac, The Balm. I love shimmers, in cheek and lip colors. I also love the sets these places do like Benefits

Go TropiCORAL Lip & Cheek Kit, I know this cost $28 and the amount is $25, but I just wanted to give an example of what Iike

I also like sunless tanning products: love St.Tropez

I like Miss Jessies Quick Curls but would love to try some sample sizes of other things. Would also like to try some Ouidad products. Also enjoy twistbands.

I love accessories like warm cozy scarfs (gray,black), bauble bar jewlery like big earrings and jewlery love just about everything but I wear silver more than gold.

I like candles especailly pumpkin and apples smells. I also love fall and Christmas scents. I am a Special Education teacher and I love to change up the scents in my classroom.

I do not care for skin care since I have a specific brand that keeps me from breaking out.

Sorry the list is so long just trying to give you an idea of what I like! Feel free to be creative with it if you chose!

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.

Adding a bit more info:

My favorite colors are purple and green, I don't wear a lot of makeup overall, and when I do I just wear eye makeup and sheer lip gloss, and the occasional light lipstick. (I'm extremely lucky that I don't need to wear any more makeup than that.) But that's mostly for special occasions.

My makeup weakness is nails. I can grow em, so I might as well take glorious advantage of that fact. I wear all colors except for pinks/nudes on my nails, and I'm not afraid to do funky things involving glitter, holos, line art and designs. I haven't really tried nail stamping, but definitely want to. I also like to try nail polish brands from other countries.

I'm also starting to get into the eye cream/moisturiser groove. I've been trying different products out in that area.

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

Other than that, I love coffee and very good chocolate. I love LUSH items, but don't get them as often as I'd like. And as a random sidenote, I love dragons.

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! 

UPDATE:

I just got two MAC brushes!!! All of a sudden! Now I have 239 and 217, but still want to try 219 and 242.

And finally I realized what I need now: tools!!!  I'm not saying regular tools like brushes, but any little things that can make beauty routine simpler and easier.

I'm really overstocked with skincare(from head to toe), bath and body, perfumes and some make up like mascara, lip color, eyeliners, eye palettes, nail polish...

If you have something that you must share, I'm very glad to try it! Even I already have similar ones. Better to be travel size, even foil pack.

Some thing about myself: 

 
Some thing about myself: 
Basic info: female, in 20s, student.
Profile: Fair to light skin with neutral tone. Black straight hair and brown eyes.
Style key words : zen, soft, lively, romantic, vintage, sophisticated... the most important thing is UNIQUE
 
I'm new to make up and colors.The reason I start to pick up makeup is I want to take perfect pictures of myself and my girl friends. I've always been a photographer for my friends but always feel photograph skill is not enough to make girls look perfect in pictures- cameras are different from human eyes!  My first aim is to create natural looks, then creative looks. Af for nail colors, I haven't tried to creative patterns yet, just pure colors that matches with my outfit.
 
On the other hand, I'm quite familiar with the skincare world,from reading ingredient, selecting products, to analysis skin problems. But I'm still learning... knowledge and thoughts need to be updated everyday!
 
ok let me stop here. It's already long!

WIshlist: Surprise me! But if you want some ideas/hints, I'm interested in sculpting powders (eg. MAC's), I've never tried anything from Origins (really interested in their Zero Oilâ„¢ products or Clear Improvement® mask), I'm always excited to try more Josie Maran products, I'm generally interested in natural/organic skincare products and would love to try more from Shea Terra, and I'd really like to try nail polishes by brands like Nubar, Nfu-oh, Ozotic or a-england (especially the holo's and duochromes) that are a bit harder to obtain here in the US.

Not interested in: fragrance, haircare, lip balms/treatments, anti-aging skincare, soap and bath stuff, lip glosses (I have sooo many from subs), blushes/cheek tints, or candles. Anything where the scent is the selling point is not a good fit for me because I have terrible allergies and don't generally have much of a sense of smell.

• I'm very pale and warm-toned, NC10~15ish depending on the season. I generally use Korean BB creams; the American ones are typically all too dark for me.

• I'm half-Asian and generally subscribe to the Asian belief that paleness is a sign of beauty. So, no self-tanners or heavily bronzing products for me.
• I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and nose (hence blushes and cheek tints, especially pink ones, don't work well for me).
• My skin type is combination-to-oily. My T-zone gets shiny quickly and I wear a lot of mattifying products, but I also have patches of drier skin.
• Large pores are generally my #1 skin complaint.
• I'm 24 and don't really believe in using specifically anti-aging products; my dermatologist told me that the most important thing at my age is just to use SPF and to keep my skin hydrated, especially using products rich in vitamin E, so that's what I do. No fancy nano-peptides for me. I am, however, interested in anything with argan oil (because it's so rich in vitamin E).
• I don't really break out easily (when I do it mostly seems to be due to period hormones), and I'm not aware of anything my skin is sensitive to.
• I'm generally interested in natural/organic products, especially for skincare (with make-up I'm a little less picky). I'm very conscious of the ingredients in the products I use, avoiding SLS and parabens and that sort of thing, and substituting for natural ingredients wherever possible.
• I prefer not to use drugstore cosmetics or skincare products, mostly because of the concerns re: ingredients.
• Nail polish is my #1 love. I never leave the house without my nails painted, and I own well over 100 bottles of nail polish, the majority being Zoya, Julep, Orly, and Butter London.
• I'm not hugely artistic when it comes to nails -- I do a lot of gradients and sponging, but I don't really draw out nail art or things like that. I've never tried stamping plates and I'm sort of curious about that, so that might be another idea.
• Eye make-up is my #2 love. Because I'm warm-toned and have hazel eyes and auburn hair, I look best in greens/olives, golds, bronzes, and browns. I'm still looking for a great medium yellow-toned green eyeshadow (think darker than Urban Decay Urb and lighter than L'Oreal Infallible Golden Emerald, but not olive; maybe something along the lines of Urban Decay Vert).
• Lately I've been interested in pastels and light colors. Because of my pale coloring and the fact that I have deep-set eyes, I have a hard time pulling off anything darker than a medium shade; anything darker looks heavy and unflattering on me. In many palettes, I have to use the lid color as my crease color, and I use the crease color either as a liner or just don't use it at all.
• I'm also interested in trying more matte neutrals (the majority of my eye make-up right now has a shimmer or frost finish).
• I love bold lips, but I'm also fairly set in that department because I've been visiting the OCC flagship store quite often since they opened last year and own a lot of their lip tars. (I haven't brought myself to buy Black Dahlia yet though, and I'm interested in their holiday line they just announced.)
• My other HG lip product are the Revlon Just Kissable balm stains, but I think I already own all of their colors I can pull off.
• One thing to note about my lips: they have a very strong purple/cool undertone, so I generally have to use lip products with a strong orange/warm undertone. Anything too blue-toned/pink-leaning tends to look fuchsia and very unnatural on me.
• My lips don't chap easily and I'm just not a lip balm person; I never really remember to apply it, probably because I don't usually need to.
• I work in a place where I can get away with wearing pretty much whatever I want, so I don't have to worry about workplace-appropriate neutrals or anything like that. However, I'm also the only female engineer, so I don't usually go all-out with my make-up on work days.
• I generally don't have the patience for any kind of loose powder cosmetics.
• I probably have more make-up brushes than I reasonably need at this point. The one thing I could maybe use is a good contouring brush (for sculpting cheekbones).
• I'm not a huge fan of body butters or lotions; the skin on my body is pretty normal (not dry), so similarly to the lip balms, I just never really remember to apply body products regularly. I pretty much only do so after I shave...
• I don't take baths. My bathtub is too small; my bathroom in general is pretty tiny.
• I drink a lot of tea, and I'm a fan of very traditional teas -- nothing too fruity or sweet. I like the dominant flavor to come from the tea leaves themselves.
• I'm obsessed with ginger and love anything ginger-flavored or scented.

A little bit about myself:

• I'm Asian, so I have medium skin with yellow undertones.  Asymmetrically cut straight black hair, so no hair accessories please, unfortunately I can't use them.  Not really a lip product person and don't wear much eye makeup other than eyeliner and mascara.  I've never had the chance to find out what shade I am in MAC foundations (shame on me) but I'm currently using Urban Decay's Naked Skin in #6.
• My style is a mix of boho glam and rocker chic.  Most of the clothes in my closet are from Express.  I love scarves, long necklaces, animal and tribal prints.  My ears are pierced 7 times (4 on the left, 3 on the right).  I generally wear jewelry in hematite.  I wear size 7 shoes.  I love heels but don't get the chance to wear them much.  I'm desperately in need of a pair of black flats but haven't had time to look for any.
• I have a Keurig K-Cup coffee machine and would love some new coffees to try.  I love tea, especially Teavana.
