I am open to anything beauty, hair, or makeup related. I love anything by Lush or Julep. I have a medium skin tone and VERY oily skin. I would also like to try some Scentsy products. They always smell so good at trade shows, but I've never bought anything from them. I like nude/coral/light pink lip colors. I'm not a gloss fan. Bronzers are always good. I would love to try out some of the Liqwd products from Birchbox. I'm always looking for volumizing hair products/hair masks/ texturizers. I am definitely a girly girl and not into skulls or "punkish" sort of makeup. I really like all of those little sample giftsets from sephora. I have a thing for "minis". I would rather have 5 minis than a full size. Really anything as a surprise would be fun to get! Those are just some random things about my likes/dislikes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

[meaganola]

Oh, what the heck, I might as well join in the fun, too!

username:  meaganola

location:  portland, oregon

will ship: eh, what the heck, anywhere

Wish list:

• Blue/green/purple eye shadow/pencils/liners 
• Patterned seasonal/festive nail wraps!  
• philosophy 3-in-1 fruity/foody/cocktail shower gels
• Hand creams/balms!  I work in a large office building, so I can always use more.
• I love to discover off-the-beaten-path (I guess some might call them boutique/indie) brands that aren't carried in Target/Nordstrom/Ulta/Sephora/Walgreen's.
• Cult products = OH I WANT TO TRY THEM ALL NAO!
• I love seasonal stuff even if it's a well-known drugstore brand (I'm on the hunt for Wet'n'Wild Sweeten the Season Juicy lip balms right now, for example) -- except tree-scented stuff.  Evergreens = headache!
• I don't know what the next essence limited edition line is going to be after _Twilight_, but I already want it!
• Nail art goodies!
• Love flavored (especially citrus or soda flavored) lip balms, especially ones without petroleum or beeswax!  Crazy Rumors is probably my favorite line.  
• Preferred color scheme for winter holidays:  Blue and silver, perhaps with a little purple thrown in.  I'm just not a fan of red/green/gold.
• Shower tablets!  I don't take baths.  I'm a shower-only person!
• Lush goodies:  Ibiza Party shampoo; any of the shower jellies; any of the shower gels except Grass (wow, I had forgotten that I like *every single one* I've tried!  Too bad the scent of grass is Bad News for me); any FUN (haven't tried them, but they sound like, well, FUN!).
• Travel sizes are *awesome*!

Ultimate wish list item:  OPI Black Spotted.

Favorite brands:  I'm just getting back into the makeup thing after a four-year hiatus (it's a long story), and there are a *lot* of new brands since the last time I bought makeup, but my favorite brands back then were Urban Decay and MAC.  One of my goals for the next year or so is to explore indie/boutique brands more.  I like the *idea* of drugstore brands as well, but aside from essence and occasionally Sally Hansen, those brands tend to not have much in the way of my kind of color.  

No-go items: 

Perfume (unless it's oil-based!  I love fragrance.  I just can't use alcohol-based stuff, which is the vast majority of what's out there), mascara, liquid eyeliner, nude/neutral/subdued or warm colors, nail polish (I actually love it but I have a *lot* of it and a tendency to buy whatever I want *right then and there* as soon as I see it), anything floral-scented (unless it's a fruit blossom or violet), bar soap, hair products, jewelry, skincare (I get plenty from my various subscription boxes!), bath (that is, for use in a bathtub rather than a shower) stuff, glittery eye products like Urban Decay's Midnight Cowboy or stila smudgestick (I love the sparkle, but I don't dig the fallout all over the inside of my glasses, and the glitter can scratch my skin).
About me:  

• Hair:  Probably best described as medium brown, fine, silky, thick, and in the process of being grown out from a pixie cut.  And insanely healthy.  I can wash it, pin it back with bobby pins, and…  That's pretty much it.  It falls out of every other type of hair accessory right now, and I cannot handle styling product or heat appliances *at all*.  
• My eyes are also probably best described as medium brown.  They're in my head.  They are also *extremely* nearsighted, and they despise contacts, so they are always behind thick glasses (my usual frame colors:  purple and green.  Style:  Face a Face Elvis 3.  Chunky, colorful, and cateye.  More than slightly rockabilly librarian.  I *love* these frames!), which means eyeshadow/liner gets applied with a heavy hand.
• Skin:  Very dry in the winter and very Irish as far as color goes (cool, pale, pink cheeks).  I'm 40, but I only started wearing foundation-type stuff after Glossybox sent out Missha BB Cream (#21!  They actually sent a color that worked for me), so I have *no clue* what my MAC color would be or what my color would be in any other brand. 
• Favorite color scheme for makeup:  Heavy/thick dark purple/green/blue around the eyes (think 15-year-old emo/punk kid, except blackened *color* instead of just black), bright hot pink/fuchsia lips.  No mascara, no blush, no neutral/subdued or warm colors!
• My style has been described in the past as "goth punk gypsy," although it's more punk-hippie-who-reluctantly-works-for-a-bank nowadays.
• I recently (read: last month) ended a makeup hiatus that started four years ago, so I have *no clue* about any of the indie cosmetic lines, but I would love to try them.  
• In other-creatures-who-also-live-in-my-apartment news, I have two one-year-old kitties.  They are not related, but they fight like siblings.  I had nicknamed them the Bruise Brothers due to their colors (one is black, and the other is blue) before I even got them home from the Humane Society.  Self-fulfilling prophecy much?

That's probably more than enough!

So excited!!
I forgot to add that I have extremely dry skin.  

 

[CaliMel]

I love vanilla scents, bohemian style stuff. My skintone is Ivory/NC15. I have blonde hair and blue/grey/green eyes depending.

I don't really wear lipsticks or fake eyelashes. I love neutral makeup colors, but fun colored eyeshadows are good, as are nail polishes.

I like gold colored jewelry best. Dangly earrings, feathers, cute rings/bracelets. I am a huge hello kitty fan.

My skin is combination tending towards dry on my nose and cheeks.

I love chapsticks.

I don't like gardenia scents, musky scents.

I'll add more to this.

That's happened to someone else as well and I had to edit her post on her behalf. I'm not sure why it's doing that but I don't have access to look into the permissions for the groups.

 

[CaliMel]

It won't let me add to/edit my other post, but I just wanted to add on to my thing:

I do not have sensitive skin at all, so please don't worry about that! I wear both drugstore and "high end" stuff. I'm really interested in the Tarte amazonian clay blushes, but I don't need full size. I actually prefer smaller sizes of things because I have a lot of products and it's easier for me to use things up completely if I don't have the giant full size one. So please don't worry about sending me minis of things! I like that better actually.

My favorite color is teal/blue. But I love coral and gold and "tropical" colors. I love tea.

I don't take baths, as my bath "tub" is really just the shower stall kind and I'm 5'7", so I pretty much can only sit in my "tub" with my knees bent, which is not terribly comfortable.

I have waist length hair, that's coarse textured and wavy tending towards almost curly sometimes.
