Angled liner brush! I never think to buy one when I'm actually buying things. And a great pressed powder for super fair skin.

I need a good foundation brush. I'm tired of using my fingers. I am lacking in the brush department. I have 1 blush, one eyeliner, & one eye shadow brush. I've also never used highlighter before. That's a great question!

 

[LolaJay]

But I do love a dramatic eye and my nails are always painted!

 

[tweakabell]

I think we all have that one thing we never remember to get for ourselves that's not because it's too much it just slips our mind when buying and we go "oh next time" and then forget again I think mine is a stick lip scrub like the lip exfoliator from E.L.F.  I always put it off when I place an order because I want color. I've tried ones that are loose and I don't like touching them, I'm really weird about having things on my fingers. I go through napkins like crazy.

  I don't think I've seen this question yet, so here we go!

If you were to get something in your package that wasn't makeup or a beauty product, what would you be over the moon to see?

For example, I LOVE jewelry, scarves, cookbooks, tea, candles, cookies, and chocolate. I would also love to see anything that is regional or local to you.

Chocolate, local snacks (like crispycakes whatever those are), caramels, toffee, scarves, soft fuzzy socks, soft fuzzy slippers, brush holder, handmade items.
