(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[chelsealady]

[@]BagLady[/@] I love office supplies. I'm trying to convince our office manager that the post it note holder that is shaped like a purse is a legitimate office need.

 

[ttanner2005]

What kind of extras would make your day?

Addition to earlier answer - warm fuzzy socks, infinity scarf, warm pretty hat, or a small toy or treats for my cat

Is there an item (makeup, tool, skincare) you feel is missing from your routine, if so what?

Not really, but I could use a pretty compact mirror for my purse.  I love the Cinderella one, but missed out on it.

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???

Sephora - one of the Tarte or Too Faced holiday sets - I don't have anything from these brands and hear good things about them

Here's a question: Holiday flavor. Gingerbread, egg nog, or mint/chocolate mint?

Hot Mulled Apple Cider

So is anyone else going to stay up uber late tonight in hopes of catching a glimpse of the official PM from [@]zadidoll[/@] with our Santee's name & info inside? The pressure is on Zadi! We are like rabid wolves waiting for our dinner! Ha ha ha. JK I know it will take a lot of time for you to get it all sorted out for us. I can be patient. I'm just SO excited!

Lol I probably will! I can't wait to see who my SS is and re-read their wishlist (I say re-read because I've practically read everyone's list hahaha)

I tried to convince mine that I needed the tape dispenser shaped like a high heel. Lol. Must find purse post it holder now....

I love Target's dollar section. They have many cute notepads and notebooks for list obsessors like me. I have notepads/books everywhere in my house and car. And colored pens, I love them! My teen daughter told me colored pens are tweenish but I love them.

I LOVE colored pens too. I've been using them since I was a tween but at 31 I still adore them. Black pens are so boring and don't stand out on black and white printed paper.

 

[utgal2004]

I keep meaning to drop this here but keep forgetting.  For fandom-oriented tea drinkers: http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/fandoms.html And in related news: http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/fandom_sets.html

I had no idea these existed. Sooo cool! I love tea but this makes it even better. Thanks for sharing!!! Holiday flavor? Gingerbread, chocolate/peppermint or hot apple cider. Actually anything really except egg nog.

  What scents do you like:

I love sweet scents, like when you walk into a candy shop and can smell the fresh waffle cones, one of my favorite perfumes is Aquolina Pink Sugar. I also love floral and earthy scents, in general I love perfume and perfume samples!

What scents do you not like:

Blueberry scents, because I'm allergic to blueberry. Cinnamon and Lavender scents.

What makeup item can you not use at all:

Lipstick/lipgloss/lipliner. I just don't use them at all =/ I always stick to chapstick/lip butter!

What makeup item do you use every day:

Primer, foundation, blush, black eyeliner, mascara. A lot of the time I use my Naked 2 palette as well.

What colors do you avoid:

Bright colors and neons. And Pink! Ever since I was a little girl I have refused to wear pink because all the other girls liked pink lol (I'm a purple girl)

How would you describe your style of makeup?

Kind of classic style

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

I wouldn't say a lot of one brand in regards to make up.  BUt I do end to lean on the higher end stuff, but I do have some Palladio and NYX items as well.

What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?
If they are still good, I am okay with them as extra.

What kind of extras would make your day?
Probably little nail polish minis and little cute extras from Target.  I love Target!!!!


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?)
Jumbo Lip Pencils.  I use them every day.  I like them better than glosses or lipsticks.

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 would pick Sephora simpoly because I do most of my shopping at Ulta so it would be something different for me.  I would either buy a lip product by OCC or a NARS jumbo lip pencil.
Lol I think you forgot to change the answers on the first couple of questions , my answers are still on there lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lol I thought it was funny, I almost did the same thing earlier! haha

 

[ttanner2005]

I added these questions and answers to my Secret Santa Wishlist Classified, so that you (My Secret Santa) don't have to wade through all these posts.

I also LOOOOVE Downton Abbey and am intrigued by Dracula so far.  I'd also love a list of shows to check out!

Um, all holiday flavors are 100% ok but I am not a fan of candy canes (peppermint is great though, just the canes in particular bug me).

YES.  My coworker and I got our office to order us some for when we do edits on papers.

@chelsealady

HA HA! I actually have that post it note holder. I bought it at Michaels with a 40% off coupon. It's SO cute! There's also a compact one that is ADORABLE!

@usofjessamerica

I have a serious notebook addiction. I love back to school time (even though I haven't been in school in AGES) just to buy new cute notebooks.

Yea I just hit up the Target Dollar section. I brought my sister along and apparently she never stops at the Dollar SEction (GASP) and she had handsfull of stuff and asked my "why did you bring me here" LOL! uhm because it's the best part of Target!

 

[luckyme502]

What scents do you like:

I'm actually picky with scents.  For candles I like clean linen, or gardenia, I would call them clean scents.  

What scents do you not like:

I don't like overly flowery and I hate anything food scented!

What makeup item can you not use at all:

I don't think there is anything I can't use at all.
 

What makeup item do you use every day:

lipstick, eyeliner and mascara.  

What colors do you avoid:

Bright colors, like electric blue.  

How would you describe your style of makeup?

Classic with some trendy thrown in.

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

Not really.  

What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?
I wouldn't mind them.

What kind of extras would make your day?
Anything chocolate.  I do love dark chocolate covered pretzels!


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?)
I would say lipstick.

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 would buy the Naked 3 palette, but since it's not out yet, I've been eyeing up the Too Faced Naked Rebel palette.  I bought one for my daughter, and I'm wishing I had bought myself one while it was on sale!

 

[zadidoll]

Last day! I'm finishing up the lists of those I have today so I'll be sending out info all day tomorrow.

 

[makeitupasigo]

Last day! I'm finishing up the lists of those I have today so I'll be sending out info all day tomorrow.

YAY!! I'm so excited =]

 

[Sunflowercake]

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?

If you are crafty, feel free to craft something. I would love to receive something that is a local specialty, unless it's beer. I also love candles, scarfs and anything decorative you think every person should have in their house. I like most candy/ sweets, especially chocolate and macaroons as well as tea. Here is something: We collect rubberduckies.

Is there an item (makeup, tool, skincare) you feel is missing from your routine, if so what?

Can't think of one.

Here's a question: Holiday flavor. Gingerbread, egg nog, or mint/chocolate mint?
from any of those it would be chocolate mint....I like most Christmas cookies and apple cider.

I also added the list as comment to the Secret Santa wishlist so my secret santa does not have to search through all the pages if time does not allow it. Considering there is over 100 people who signed upm there is a very good chance a few of them did not even see all the questions we came up with. Just a thought.

 

[Charity1217]

Here's a question: Holiday flavor. Gingerbread, egg nog, or mint/chocolate mint?

Chocolate mint hands down. I don't care for gingerbread or egg nog.

Last day! I'm finishing up the lists of those I have today so I'll be sending out info all day tomorrow.

Thank you for all the work you put into this!
