Saturday Shout-Out! to Hottie Mc., Holly B., and Shelby G.

My blog had three new followers this week whom I could get hold of, and here are their answers to my getting-to-know-you questions: (1) name three words that describe you best; (2) name three foods you like best; and (3) name your three "desert-island" cosmetic items. 

First up is the saucy Hottie McNaughty (her Facebook page is here, and her blog is here). Hottie describes herself as sparkly, determined, and . . . ummm . . .  sparkly! Can you tell she likes the shiny stuff? Just like a magpie, LOL [at least that's better than a goat who likes shiny tin cans, LOL]!

Hottie likes popcorn . . . all flavors and types. She just can't seem to get enough. Coffee is a lifestyle for her :-) Baked goods are her serious weakness, particularly home-baked bread (step away from the challah, Hottie!) 

If she were stranded on a desert island, three items that Hottie couldn't do without are Aquaphor ointment for her lips because she can't live without lip balm, plus it's good for lots of other stuff, too.  She would need Skin Actives sunscreen because, as her husband puts it, she gets burned by self-tanner, LOL. Her third item would be Marie LeVeau perfume oil from Conjure Oils (I assume because it's damn secksy).

Hottie's a "hotty"  even sans costumes!
Next up is Holly B: Holly says she is kooky, creative, and obsessive :-) Her favorite three foods are sushi, carbs (any carbs, LOL), and dill pickle sunflower seeds (literally; "they're delicious," she says). Holly's desert-island look would be green/silver eyeshadow, black liquid-line pencil eye liner, and yummy lip balm :) She normally goes all out and does fun looks during the day, but if she's a pinch or just doesn't feel up to it, that's her go-to routine. Stop by Holly's blog, the Frilly Panda, and say "howdy," and can check out her Facebook page here.

Last, but not least, is my pal, Shelby G. of (Not) Making It Up. Shelby describes herself as silly (and not because she tries to be. She has some serious "clueless" moments (she just aged herself!), talkative, and laid-back.  Well, she tries to be laid-back. Sometimes Moose (her preschooler) doesn't let her be as laid-back as she wants to be, LOL!

Sheby had no problem naming her three favorite food: sesame chicken, popcorn with a smidge of garlic salt (mmmmm, sounds good, huh?), and sushi. Well, sushi as long as there's no roe or octopus in it. "Blech!" she says.

Shelby's desert-island cosmetics would definitely be sunscreen (although she knows it's not technically a cosmetic), lip sugar scrub from Simply Sweet Skin, and Blinc mascara because it's the best she's ever used. After all, she's gotta look good for any mermen or pirates that come by, right? If the sunscreen doesn't count . . . she'd choose a bottle of OPI "Not Like The Movies" to make sure she has pretty nails [boy, that sure is a mermaid-y color]!
Is Shelby sprightly or what?

(Belated) Saturday Shout Out! to Deb (a.k.a. Zillah)

I had a few new followers this week but wasn't able to reach them. I try to connect with them through Google Friend Connect, but when I "sign in," it takes me right back to the page that asks me to sign in or cancel, LOL. If the person has a blog, usually I can get them there, but not all of my followers have blogs, so . . . I'm going to shout out to my longer-term followers so you can get to know others in the beauty and scent blogosphere :-)

This weekend's shout-out is to Deb, a.k.a. Zillah, the author behind Midnight Poesy, a scent blog. I personally love her writing style, so pop by and check out her blog!

As to her answers to my three getting-to-know-you questions ([1] name 3 words that describe you best; [2] name 3 foods you like best; and [3] name your 3 "desert-island" cosmetic items), here they are:

Deb describes herself as sarcastic, imaginative, and. laid-back. Her favorite foods are "Does Pepsi count as a food?"; Italian (especially lasagna) and Chinese; and just about anything you can make with a potato (I'm Irish, what can I say?) Her three desert-island cosmetics would be moisturiser (something with sunscreen since I'll be on a desert island), foundation (Aromaleigh 2.0 Dewdrop 1WL mixed 60/40 with 00), and lip balm, lots and lots of lip balm, like, a 500 pack of Eos lemon flavour.

I decided to add a fourth question for scent bloggers: "What are your favorite three scents that you've reviewed in the past year?" Here is Deb's answer:

House of Gloi Sanctum (mmmmmm...melon); Black Baccara Mummy (about as close to perfection as a perfume can get); and Solstice Scents Witches Cottage (everything wonderful about autumn in a bottle).

Concise, isn't she? And I wonder where that British spelling comes from? Zillah, I thought I knew you . . .

EDIT 2/19/12: I figured out how to sign in to GFC and shot off messages to my newest followers, so hopefully I'll be posting their answers next week :-)

BTW, DON'T FORGET TO ENTER THE LUCKY 107 COSMETIC'S GIVEWAY! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
