I don't think I own too much from one brand but I probably have more eyeshadow palettes than I'll ever use but it didn't stop me from adding some to the wish list lmao

If I am your secret santa and send you an over the top, fab gift would you:

a)prefer everything wrapped individually

or

B) have a huge smorgasboard to look at

AND would you prefer to:

a) open each gift slowly and methodically

or

B) tear everything open like a mad woman

ooh I love unwrapping things so I would prefer individually wrapped presents, but all wrapped up into one is just as fine =]

I tear gifts open like a mad woman! Lol

Sorry to my SS I am the worst present wrapper ever hahaha

Generally my favorite colors are purple and fluorescent green but I like my eyeshadows to be neutral.

My house is pretty much red/black but I won't be in my home for a year while I stay back west with family while my hubs is deployed.

1) A I'm definitely a more to unwrap is better person :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

2)Both? I'd probably savor having something to unwrap lmao Every gift that will be for me under the tree will be wrapped by me I'll probably just throw it all in a bag or box and cut down my wrapping

I am more neutrals at work and play with color on the weekends, I love darker colored lips in the berry and plum family, but not bright pink.

For non makeup, my house is red and gold jewel tone primarily.  I love realistic artistic fairies.





NOT cartoony fairies.

I think everything individually wrapped would be nice and I always open everything slowly!

No, I feel like my collection  has a lot of variety.

For general things, my favorite colors and blues and browns.  For makeup, I like mostly neutral/light pinks and purples colors for eyes.  For cheeks and lips I like anything.

For decoration, I like/have mostly black, browns, and gray.

Hey, me too! I have some posters very similar to that in my room!

 
I like the suspense of unwrapping more gifts than one big box with a bunch of items.  Personally, I love to make my presents look really nice with handmade bows and very pretty to match my tree, until they are gifted out.

- I own a lot of items from Benefit! There are maybe 5 items of theirs that I do not own unless you include their perfume, I own none of them and have never smelled them.

My favorite color tends to be any shade of blue-green. Aqua, teal, turquoise, minty blue-greens.... you get the idea. It's just so pretty! For makeup I tend to use mostly neutrals because they are always flattering and look good with whatever I am wearing... though I tend to like pinkish neutrals or taupe with a purple tones because my eyes are green. 

I don't really have any specific color in my home. It's all pretty neutral. Lots of browns and stuff. I am planning on doing a aqua/white/silver room for myself though. I think it will be my makeup/craft room. 

 
This question stuff is fun :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

scents I like: Um almost everything? I'm a candle/perfume hoarder, but I don't have a specific scent... 

scents I don't like: I only have two, lemon, and lavender 

Makeup I can't use at all- liquid eyeliner, anything lip related. Most hair products, I have super curly hair, so I don't use a ton of product

Makeup item I use every day- eye liner (I just use a dark brown eyeshadow on an angle brush) mascara, a very light bronzer

Colors do you avoid: for makeup, i only use neutrals on my eyes, I RARELY use blush, and never use lipstick, so that narrows it down a lot :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Makeup style- Neutral/minimal!

I don't think so... I like variety although I do have brands I prefer. I made sure to list the palettes that I do own (since it's only a small bunch) since that would be something that could be repeated. Maybe people should list items they still want to try from the brands they love.

I like things wrapped individually because it's just fun to unwrap things... I think I am in between opening slow and like a mad woman. I like the suspense, but I don't open neatly either.

 
Hi everyone!  Just a clarification on signups:

Secret Santa Signups are THROUGH the 15th.  

As in, you still have all day tomorrow to sign up.  And Santas will be announced the next day (the 16th).  

Sorry for any disappointment!  The anticipation is worth it, my lovelies!

I like floral, clean scents, and some food scents. I'm not really into thick musky perfumes. I don't like lavender though... unless it's in something like a Twilight bath bomb where it's mixed with vanilla to tame it down.

I'm not sure there is any makeup that I cannot use, but I won't use skincare that has fragrance in it. I also prefer my foundations to not have fragrance in them. I have sensitive skin. This is a huge issue with me using drugstore stuff... it almost always has heavy fragrance.

I use liquid waterproof eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow almost daily. 

I avoid blue eyeshadow (clashes with green eyes), and any bright lipsticks or blush (it brings out the redness of my face)

My makeup style is pretty neutral. I like doing simple things like a cat eye and sometimes wearing some purple shadow... but nothing crazy. 

 
What scents do you like: Clean like that B&BW linen or warm cotton or whatever. And fruity like KVD Saint and Harajuku Lovers "G" (do they still make that?) What scents do you not like: Everything else. Especially hate food like scents like the weird pizza candle and ice cream candles from bath and body works this summer... Ick What makeup item can you not use at all: I ususally skip eyebrow things just because I don't have any, I guess? What makeup item do you ise every day: liquid eyeliner and mascara) What colors do you avoid: Nudes for lips and greens -- especially green nail polish How would you describe your style of makeup? Lol classic? Normal? Haha. I'm not sure... I always have a winged liner if that means anything.

 
What scents do you like:

I like most scents but prefer deeper more complex/warm scents

What scents do you not like:

Artificial Cinnamon The pinecones they sell around this time of year I can smell 4 aisles away make me sick to my stomach Artificial Lavender, more herbal scents

What makeup item can you not use at all:

Bronzer doesn't seem to work well for me I wouldn't mind an orphan of yours or a sample to try and see if it works for me but don't spend your money on one

What makeup item do you ise every day:

I don't wear makeup every day but a lip color would probably be the closest to everyday I get

What colors do you avoid:

Yellow, Orange, Beige/Nude lips

How would you describe your style of makeup?

Eclectic but not OUT THERE

 
@usofjessamerica hahah i know the style is an odd question but I think it might help a lot of people. If someone says they prefer a natural style I won't get them a bold eyeshadow. I just find it easier to shop for people if I know their style I guess. Also good point on the nude lip colors. That's a big no for me as well!

 
What scents do you like:Clean (cotton or linen or whatever like Jes says above :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />), floral (love roses and cherry blossoms), Rain, Fall scents like pumpkin, cinnamon. Peppermint or sugar cookie scents. Spice scents generally. Vanilla.  

What scents do you not like:Evergreen, Pine,Cedar,  Peach, Pear, Blueberry (um, ok let's just say floral scents). Coffee.

What makeup item can you not use at all:Ummm I am pretty open? I will pretty much try whatever.  I do not need any more body lotions or shower gels at this time though. Also don't like lip stains.

What makeup item do you use every day:Honestly, most days I don't wear makeup *hides*.  I do wear nail polish of some kind and lip gloss of some kind pretty much daily though.

What colors do you avoid:

Yellows for makeup in general.  Nudes for lips, I prefer a bit more color.

How would you describe your style of makeup?

Evolving? Generally pretty classic/understated at work for sure.  More adventurous on the weekends. Love bright colors when I can get away with them!
