Okay so I just got my makeup brush roll that I ordered from an Etsy shop (austineg) and thought I'd share because it would make a lovely Christmas gift! She has so many prints. Thinking I might have to order another one for me and one for my SS!

So cute!  Even if your SS doesn't have a lot of brushes it looks like you could put liners, glosses, mascaras in there too.

Yes, all I did was take their user name and put it into the search bar lol Not much activity but it makes this more like a treasure hunt so that is kind of fun hahahaha

 
Survey Time!

What's in your purse right now? It's a hot mess since I swapped purses in like 5 seconds this morning and CLEARLY haven't swapped out/removed lippy stuff in a long time, but I have 2 Kind Plus Bars, Lush Lemony Flutter, Smith's Rosebud Salve balm, Maybelline medicated Baby Lips in Coral something (L'Oreal testing compensation), Ellis Faas lip glaze in 301 (favorite Glossy Box item ever...still highly covet the rusty colored one), Revlon Just Bitten balmstain in Honey, Ulta extreme wear lip stain in 14 (super deep berry), Revlon Colorburst lip glosses in Papaya and Strawberry, Mally Poreless Face Defender, Bliss body butter travel size from the W hotels my bf stays at all the time, Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses (via Saks outlet), 2 Ipsy bags (one stuffed full of lips listed above, the other poorly being used as a wallet).

What is your favorite holiday? Probably Thanksgiving since it's the most laid back of them all in my opinion.  Just a lot of good time spent cooking and hanging out with those whose company you enjoy.  It's a holiday with no obligations.  I also enjoy New Years for the glitz factor and excuse to party and in theory it used to be Halloween although I've just not had any good parties to attend the last few years so it's lost its luster. 

What candies and baked goods do you especially like? I'm just going to rattle off buzzword flavors I gravitate towards: YUZU, honey (love that airy honey candy that seems easy to make...now considering making some like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Honeycomb-Candy/), lemon, grapefruit, rose, (love those Persian type nougats), lavender, cardamom, pistachio, pecan, almond, orange, blood orange, orange blossom, vanilla, rich dark chocolate, spiced chocolate, pear.  Love nuts in general, floral, herbal, citrus, etc notes.  : D   But if you have something that's your specialty, I'd be happy to try.  I have had macarons which I love, but I have fairly good access to them here.

What candies and baked goods do you dislike? Cheap chocolate--tastes like wax, white chocolate, anything too sweet.

What are a few of your hobbies? watercolor, Adobe Illustrator vector art, video game design (love pixel art, trying that now...obsessed with League of Legends and vintage games), jewelry making, interior design and decorating (although that's really more job related), cooking, traveling, culture.  I'm THRILLED to be going to Spain for the first time soon.  Random side note, I'm all giddy over Sailor Moon stuff becoming accessible again.  Too bad it wasn't when I was in Tokyo two years ago. 

How old are you (approximately) if you are comfortable sharing?  Super early 30's.

Do you like coffee or tea? I tend to avoid caffeine, but I do enjoy Nespresso quite a bit.  I generally drink tea and try to stick to herbal or very lightly caffeinated. My favorites are Yogi Egyptian licorice and Teavanna's pear white tea.  I just had a Rose oolong from Teavanna I loved quite a bit.  If you have some tea bags you want to throw in, I'm game!

Do you have any pets? I have a blue betta fish BluBo that I'm obsessed with.  Here is a vector drawing I did of him a while back:



You're in the Sephora version of Supermarket Sweep and you have 30 seconds. What's the first thing you bolt for?  The first thing that comes to mind is Guerlain Meteorites for some reason.  It's probably not even an effect I want on my oily skin, but I'm just entranced, and I would have difficulty spending that kind of money on a curiosity.  I'd take a long dip at the YSL glossy stains (I have a few of the L'Oreal kind that I adore, but no YSL ones yet) and some of their other lip products, try to snag some high end foundation while I'm there, make a quick beeline around the corner for a Makeup Forever flash palette and take a dip in the aqua creams and spend the last few seconds scooping up Illamasqua liquid eyeliners and skin bases.

What perfumes do you own/like?  I have 2 regular Tokyo Milk scents: gin & rosewater and honey & the moon, and Everything and Nothing of the Dark variety.  I love La Vie La Mort, but do not own it.  I ADORED the Atelier Cologne duo with the orange and the vanilla.  I really love the Lavanilla grapefruit and vanilla but only got a small "deluxe" sample size that is rapidly dwindling.  The only other scent I've been rocking is Hanae Mori's Butterfly, and I've had that bottle about 5 years.

Is there a particular color that has a majority in your closet? Hah, I have a straight up color gradient in my closet when it's all in perfect order.  Although when it comes to colors I tend to prefer tertiary colors.  Why have purple when you can have a plummy red purple or why have red when it can be a bright poppy orange red?  Yellow is much more exciting with a hint of green or a mustardy presence.  Don't get me chatting about color.  Your best bet is to check out my deeply hibernating blog.  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What subs do you get? I got Birchbox for nearly a year near its beginnings, I got Ipsy for nearly a year back when it was MyGlam as well, and then I got Glossybox for about a year.  Now all that remains is the Le Metier VIP vault. 

Other notes:  Would be happy to get a scarf or handmade pottery or anything showing off your craft.  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
