Haha, this is me too!
I feel you! I'm currently on a train from NYC to DC and I have nothing to do, so I keep refreshing in the hopes that an email will pop up!

That's me exactly! I get so excited... and then so let down every time I see it's a boring work email or news or flash sale emails. Kinda crazy because usually I love my gilt, rue la la, etc. emails but not today...

I'm so glad I'm getting to know people here better!
do you like coffee or tea?
do you have any pets?
you're in the sephora version of Supermarket Sweep and you have 30 seconds. What's the first thing you bolt for? I love it when people grabbed the giant hams and blocks of cheese.
is there a particular color that has a majority in your closet?
what subs do you get?
I love coffee and tea. I favorites Hazelnut coffee and Green Tea. I would love to try some holiday coffee (egg nog flavored!).
I don't have pets. I'm really not an animal lover. I love animal print though.
Sephora Favorites Lash Stash.
Purple, White, Black
Ipsy and Birchbox.

What's in your purse right now?
Wallet, Sunglasses, tinted lip balm, glasses cleaner & cloth, diapers & wipes (mom's can't leave home without them), my homemade 1st aid kid, my military spouse coin
What is your favorite holiday?
Halloween for the win (just look at my profile pic! I'm all about costumes)
What candies and baked goods do you especially like?
Chocolate for sure, hot cocoa, peppermint or minty anything, MARZIPAN (niederegger is my favorite), cookies, etc. . . let's be serious here. If it's food, I'll eat it.
What candies and baked goods do you dislike?
I'll eat anything! I don't drink coffee or tea though so I guess that would be a dislike in the food category.
Is there any beauty product that you are dying to try?
I'll try ANYTHING & everything I can get my hands on. I'm still new to all this & haven't tried much of anything.
What are a few of your hobbies?
music (I play 26+ musical instruments). . . I play & teach music. I love crafting even if I'm not very good at it. I love to bake & cook & make homemade candy. Being a mom of 6 a lot of my time goes to playing with my kids & let me tell you, I'm a MASTER at homework at this point. ;-) I'm also a shopoholic & think retail therapy is the best therapy there is. ;-)
How old are you (approximately) if you are comfortable sharing?
32
THAT'S. SO. COOL! I want to learn a few percussion instruments. What instrument is your favorite?

Piano is my true love, but viola is a close 2nd. Bassoon would be number 3 & anything percussion as number 4. Vibraphones are my favorite percussion instruments to play. They are so beautiful!

What scents do you like:
In general, I love perfume samples. And, I LOVE candles. I like sweet scents, floral scents, etc.
My Current Rollerballs:
- Marc Jacobs Dot
- Pacifica: Island Vanilla, Tuscan Blood Orange, Hawaiian Ruby Guava … I would love to try more scents, like Indian Coconut Nectar. Or, other products. I only have the roll-on’s.
- Harvey Prince: I’ve gotten all the rollerballs. Ageless, Flirt, Fling, Yogini, Hello
Victoria Secret Love Spell Body Spray
What scents do you not like:
- Hmm… None? Earthy, though? I hate, hate Christmas Pine. I love Cinnamon / Sugar Cookie.
What makeup item can you not use at all:
- Mascara / Eyeliner / Eyebrow Stuff … I don’t wear a ton, and I’m drowning in samples.
- Self-tanners … I have very pale skin, so it just doesn’t work for me.
- Bronzers / Blushes … I really don’t wear much of them. I already have a few, which work.
- Bright Lipsticks / Crazy Eyeshadows … I prefer more neutral, traditional lip and eye colors.
What makeup item do you use every day:
- In all honesty, I don’t wear a ton of make-up. I like to keep it simple and no-fuss.
- Foundation, BB/CC Creams, Concealer, Mascara, Lip Gloss, Chapsticks, Neutral eyeshadows
- Nail Polish, Hand Cream / Lotion, Hair Products, Bath Stuff, Fragrances
What colors do you avoid:
Bright Colors, Neons, Non-Traditional … I love Neutrals.
How would you describe your style of makeup?
Mostly Classic … Except for Nail Polish tastes. I go a bit bolder on my Nail stuff.
Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand?
Nope … I love trying different brands. I really started getting into Makeup in the spring. I signed up for both BirchBox & Ipsy. I love trying a ton of different samples and products. Colors, etc.
What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples?
I don't mind using them, as long as they are still good. I love samples and hoard them a bit. I definitely love perfume samples, moisturizer samples, mini nail polishes, etc.
What kind of extras would make your day?
I am fine if my box is a bit beyond Makeup. I also signed up for the SS Nails, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Nail Polish. I love items such as… Candles, Scarves, Totes. I don’t really like Chocolate, but I wouldn’t mind other candies or sweets. And, I have two dogs as well.
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 am going to name a few of my current favorite products, so you get an idea of my tastes.
- Nail Polish … Zoya, Julep, Indies
- Suki Face Cleanser
- Perfumes … See Above
- Lip Gloss … Juice Beauty, Buxom, Pop Beauty … I would be fine with more.
- Luna Mini … I just got it through Influenster. Similar to a Clarisonic. So cool!
- Lotions / Moisturizers / Body Butters … Anything and everything! Bath & Body Works and Body Shop Products, Burt’s Bees Stuff, etc.
- Hair Products … Beauty Protector, Big & Sexy Product Line
- Mani / Pedi … Any time of those items would work well for me. Tools and supplies.
- Bath Stuff … Soaps, Shower Gels, etc.
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 love to try the Lavanila product. I’ve been eyeing it up on my wish list. I also would love to splurge on the Vera Bradley winter color, Canterberry Magenta. And, I am sure there would be some more pretty Zoya or mini Indie nail polishes. I also love deluxe samples. I travel quite a bit, and they’re just so easy to carry around.
P.S. Notes for my SS!
Despite my notes above, I’m really open and grateful for anything. I want this to be an easy shopping experience. I am happy with whatever you want to send my way. Plus, I honestly feel like I could use some help and guidance in the makeup realm. A lot of you ladies have favorite products and are good at offering advice. You can see my profile pic... Pale skin, brown eyes, brown hair. Feel free to send items, which are your favorites or you think would suit me. Thanks in advance!
I also have a SS Nails Post up:

Little bit about me...
I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA... Currently living in Roanoke, VA. I've relocated seven times in the last six years for my job. I'm a young professional. I am currently a Finance Manager at a large corporation. My boyfriend Matt (3.5 Years Dating!) and I have two dogs... Shih Tzu Kodiak & Lab Mix Bella. I love all Pittsburgh sports (Steelers, Pens, Pirates) and Penn State football. I also spend way too much time stalking MUT. I got hooked back in the Spring. I am now a Birchbox, Ipsy, and Barkbox subscriber. I also sometimes splurge on Julep Mystery / FabFitFun boxes.

Oh gosh. I don't think I've caught up but I certainly tried! I've had an amazingly difficult last few days and I'm ready to go shopping. I think I've been saying this for weeks! I just can't wait to see who I have.
To my SS: I will love whatever you give me, hands down.

I love the idea of a homemade advent color! That's such a great idea to send some extras!

Ha or failing that all of us could promise to follow each other so that there are like 50 people following each of us and we still won't know.
