I was looking for a 'template' of questions and couldn't find one. So this is what I was able to cobble together! What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)? I love almost any lip color. Not an eye person other than mascara and liner with maybe a pale or neutral shadow. Our house is basically part mid century part California beach with lots of books. And a toddler. What colors do you use most in your apartment decoration? Oops answered the wrong question. Walls are white and pale blue and pale green. Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand? I love kiehls and bumble and bumble. And Zoya. Don't have any of the fall or winter zoyas or pixie dusts or velvets. Wouldliketo try any brands bc I'm not picky. What scents do you like: Atelier mistral patchouli. Saving for a bottle. I like most scents for bath and home stuff. What scents do you not like: Not big on sweet perfumes. Hate anything from juicy bc it does not dry down well on me. What makeup item can you not use at all: Acne items or lots of eyeshadow. What makeup item do you use every day: Primer bb cream mineral veil blush mascara and tinted lip balm or gloss. What colors do you avoid: Lime green. How would you describe your style of makeup? It must go with my hair and glasses, as in some color but not too elaborate.   What  NON- makeup or beauty-related item,  would you be over -the-moon to see in your package?  A snack, tea, cocoa, a card, anything handmade or special to you. What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples? Sure send it along. Raid that Chanel counter. Load up on some Jo Malone lime blossom. Any body part is okay! What kind of extras would make your day? Whatever you think I might like. I am a sentimental type and always appreciate gestures like these. What designs are you geared towards? (eg motifs, characters, themes, styles) Uh I guess penguins are one. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am also an English professor so anything book related or writing related maybe. 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?) Bb creams (palest shade) and illuminating mineral veil. And primer. You just won a $50 giftcard to [Insert your favorite beauty store here]. What's the first thing you want to buy??? Whatever will give me the best gwp lol or the atelier perfume I've been saving for.

Oh you sound like me at 17! I ended up meeting my husband at 23 and 12 years later we are still going strong. It'll happen :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Reading this broke my heart in so many ways :/

I wish I could go back and tell my 17 year old self that I WAS attractive enough....and popular enough....and perfect enough.

And so are you

But if it never happens, THAT IS OKAY, TOO!  I'm creeping up on 42, and it hasn't happened for me yet.  I honestly don't believe it ever will because I just don't think I'm wired that way.  All through college, I kept being assured that it would happen some day, and I kept waiting -- but as soon as I just stopped waiting, I was happier.  It still has yet to happen, but if it doesn't, that's just the way my life is supposed to go.  I am not a failure or a lonely spinster just because I don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife.  I'm just *me*.  Some people are *supposed* to be single forever, and THAT IS OKAY.

(This was never, *ever* said to me.  I was always told that one day, I would fall in love with someone and decide to have kids with him.  Uh, *no*.  There is no way in hell I will ever have kids.  I was also always told that I would change my mind and *want* kids.  Uh, *no*.  I always felt like the message was that there is something *wrong* with me because wanting to get married and have kids is a completely foreign concept to me, like wanting to make taxidermied dioramas of scenes from _Gigli_.  Why?  I have better things to do with my life that interest me more.  Being told I'm doing life wrong just makes me feel broken, and I may be broken, but it's sure as hell not because I don't want to get married and raise a family.)

 
I'm a little sad. I had hoped to send a DIY advent but looking at some people's lists it probably isn't going to be possible because the items I have are a giant mishmash of color/neutrals,skincare, bath/body, and nails. So it looks like it might go to my mom. The question I have is a few minis will fit in each box so one item per box or filled? The very very beginnings,pre-prettifying

I'm super late the discussion *sorry* I'm obsessed with anything Wonder Woman and travel related. I love things that have something Paris or London related (a picture of the Eiffel Tower, etc.).

EDIT: I LOVE LOVE LOVE anything animal print (especially leopard print)!!!

My favorite shows: Downton Abby and Scandal.

Here's a question: Holiday flavor. Gingerbread, egg nog, or mint/chocolate mint?
It's a tie between egg nog & mint/chocolate mint, then gingerbread.

I'm the same. My love life has always lagged behind my professional life. I'm 26, and I don't think I've ever had a boyfriend last more than 3 months.

I'm the oddball in my family...I have 6 female cousins between 20 & 25, and they're all married and/or have children. 

I'll have my Masters Degree before I turn 24...But my personal life is a hot mess. No REAL friends and I don't have anyone to call my boyfriend. My longest relationship was 3 months...but we didn't really talk for two months.

Speaking for myself this would be the most amazing SS ever!  I am one of those who sees my list as more of a guideline than a rule.  I'm pretty much up for anything.  I wouldn't give up on your plan yet.  I think there are probably a few ladies who would love something like this.  So creative!

SECONDED.  I think I might be one of the people whose lists you feel 'wouldn't fit' but I think this looks like the awesomest thing ever, I wouldn't care what was in it!

Me too. I wish we had been able to find out sooner but some people have signed up just in the last couple of days so we would have missed them.

 
--To whoever gets me as their SS--

I would LOVE a homemade beauty advent calendar. or chocolate advent calendar.

or any combination of the two.

that is all.

If someone went to the time and effort to do this, I would not care if some of the items were on my non want list.  Odds are there would be more things you would like/use vs. things you would not.  And it's the gift that keeps on giving because if you get someting that you are not crazy about, you can pass it on to someone who would love it!  People love the little beauty mini grab bags I make for birthdays, good jobs, you deserve to be recognized etc.

 
It's not just one persons list. But there's no gloss, no color, no neutrals, no skincare, no body wash that smells, no nail polish, no colored nail polish, no moisturizers, no mascaras, no liquid liner, no colored liner.

If we had no cash limit I'd fill it per spec of my SS and there'd be no issue. Unfortunately, there's a limit and I can't just spend everything on the calendar, so most of it has been pulled from my stashes, broken out of sets, or been a GWP.

I think this is the coolest idea ever! I'm telling my SS to buy whatever they want to because I think the surprise is so fun. I would love this. You are so creative!

Oh my God. I would love that!!!! Anybody would. You can be my ss.
 
I think it would be a cute idea to make a little advent calendar using extras or samples... so it wouldn't even count towards the gift. Little envelopes with the date on them strung with ribbon. You could hang it on the wall and open on per day. Each could have a little skincare sample or something. Super cute. I may do that. HAHAHA I know I personally would love it. It's a cute idea to do with the extras.
