I can't believe how many people signed up for this...

Same!  Or someone that I've already stalked hahahha.

 While I haven't been on MUT as long and have been busy with school, I've lurked longer lol. I just hope they have a list or profile that can give me a good idea of what they like

 ...I like to be very thorough.

Agreed :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's just a blast to get to know someone that I'm familiar with or recognize, especially in sharing similar interests

 which is somewhat unusual but there is a method to my madness in case I make something crafty 

What designs are you geard towards?

For example my design favorites:

nature like things such as birds (hummingbirds/owls/sparrows) or foxes, houndstooth, anchor/nautical, vintage design (lace, hearts, buttons, pearls, vintage keys) parisian, union jack, cherry blossoms

We seem very similar here! I love chevron, birds, owls, woodland creatures in general, houndstooth, vintage, and parisian :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm not big on prints generally, but I do love houndstooth. I like color blocking. I also like metal details on fabrics (like zippers on shoulders or studs on my heels), and asymmetrical details on coats.

I'll admit, I'm big on the chevron bandwagon, I like birds, anchors as well, I'm a big vintage person. 

What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?

Totally fine, I wouldn't like it if the entire package were all small samples, but whatever

What kind of extras would make your day?

Handcrafted items. orrrr candy. Or cookies. omg cookies

What ONE PRODUCT (not brand or color in particular, just product) do you use more than any other?  (What runs out the quickest in your make-up drawer?)

Mascara, but then again I have about 10 million extras from Ipsy, glossy box, etc. 

Or perfume. Perfume is my fave

...I think I use all of it lol. Shade is hard for me though- I'm so, so very white. Oh! I know! I do not like red lips on me usually (Unless I'm wearing a wig that makes it work) and I'm not big into nail polish.

Rainbow-puke Gothic-stripper with a touch of kawaii at times. ...AKA, not neutral, and weird.

Questions that have already been asked:

What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)?

I'm a sucker for purple. I use a lot of black too. I usually have all sorts of colors up on my eyes.  Black makes up most of my wardrobe...and the stuff that isn't black is a dark color...forest greens, browns, etc. (I actually hate neon clothes- I like it on my eyeballs, but not my clothes! - I'm a natural red head, so bright clothes just...don't seem to work with what I got goin' on over here)

What colors do you use most in your apartment decoration?

Black, deep purple, ....It looks like a gothic haunted house, basically.

Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand?

I am not too picky and use a lot of stuff from everywhere- I have some HGs, but I'm totally open to anything. I prefer cruelty-free/vegan. Eyeshadows are mostly sugarpill and UD...and most of my BB cream is SKIN79.

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

I don't really care- feel free to save some trees and money on wrapping with me!

a) open each gift slowly and methodically

or

B) tear everything open like a mad woman

I like to open things one at a time :)If it's not wrapped, I'll likely dump it all on the couch and roll around in it, 'cause I'm secretly a five year old.

My Questions:

What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?
Totally fine by me-fill a box with 'em! lol.  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I possible,  include the date it was prepared/opened?

What kind of extras would make your day?
Oh gosh, I'd be grateful for anything!
Sweets would likely go to my family, as I'm vegan and I know most of the sweets talked about on here aren't, but my family would be happy! If someone actually went out of their way to make/find something vegan, that'd totally touch my little heart. 
And I love trying out all sorts of products- I'm totally not picky.
I'm a lush virgin, but dying to try it.
OR OMG if someone made a DIY sugarpill pro palette (I have the sticker if you don't!) I'd be thrilled.



What ONE PRODUCT (not brand or color in particular, just product) do you use more than any other?  (What runs out the quickest in your make-up drawer?)
Eyeliner, hands down. That and eye primer...but, eyeliner, lol.

You just won a $50 giftcard to Birchbox/Target/or insert your favorite beauty store here....What's the first thing you want to buy???
I'm gonna make it a visa gift card and go online and get circle lenses, Korean creams, wigs, some unif hellbounds....just....ALL of the things I can get. (How I wish I could get hellbounds for $50!)

I don't have time to answer all these questions right now (I'm typing this with my hand while eating with the other!), but I will when I get home tonight! 

I will quickly answer the question about colors: for both makeup and home I like neutrals. I keep my makeup very neutral with the occasional berry lip  or dark nail polish (currently looking for a navy blue or dark grey polish). My home is decorated with neutrals and greys with some fun prints thrown in.
