1. Where are you from? Markham, ON
2. Where is that exactly? North of Toronto
3. Tell us about that state/area! Time to brag! I live across the street from the continent's largest indoor Asian mall, so we get a lot of bootlegged DVD's in the area. I'm sort of in the middle of everything... Up north there are decent places to eat, mostly dessert and bubbletea places. South would be Toronto, with all of its malls, and of course, downtown. Downtown Markham is currently under construction, it looks like it'll be awesome! Once a year, the road in front of the mall is blocked off for a "Taste of Asia" festival, with lots of food and performance. During this weekend, I get no sleep. The music blasts through my windows, and into the house. :( . I'm currently living in Waterloo for school, and it smells like poop.
4. What decade were you born? Early 90's
5. Tell us about a (perhaps completely useless) MAD skill you have! I can tell Coke from Pepsi, and 7Up from Sprite. I won large fries from McDonalds once for that skills. Chyeaaa! 8-)
6. How many languages do you speak? What are they? English mostly, and some Mandarin, though it's fading. I'd like to relearn it, but the course for the language is currently full at my university, so I'll be taking Japanese in the winter term instead. It's my only class on Fridays, at 8:30 in the morning... All the way across campus.
7. Do you like to travel? Where have you been? I love travelling, but my eating disorder restricts me a bit... I've been to some of the East coast of the US, Quebec, and Michigan. I'm going to Montreal this upcoming weekend, where the drinking age is 18. Party time! 8-) My family will sometimes head south of the border to shop when the Canadian dollar is high.
8. Do you eat breakfast? What do you usually have? I can't live without breakfast! Breakfast usually consists of either egg with toast, cereal, or an Eggo waffle.
9. What are your pet peeves? I hate it when people break out into other languages when they know someone in the room can't understand. My roommates do that a lot, and I'm the one out of the loop.
10. What are your hobbies? Napping between classes.

11. What got you into mineral makeup in the first place? BE. I wore it for two years before discovery I was allergic. By that point, just having it on made me itch, regardless of heat. And the brushes were just terrible. Last year, I dropped another $49 on a brush set from them -- I regret it, most of them are scratchy.
12. What do you do for a living? I'm a post-secondary student with no income, unless you count the online surveys which come to my inbox every once in a while. I've made $23 over the last few years. I'm studying to go into environmental economics.
13. How do you personally apply mineral foundation? Spot conceal first with an eye kabuki, then use a baby flat-top for all over application. I'll use a foptic if I'm traveling.
14. What are your favourite eye shadow colors? Silvers
15. What are your favourite lip colors? I don't usually wear lippies.
16. Are you bad at anything (you can totally say no....everyone knows most SN girls are perfect in every way)? I'm terribly clumsy, and I can't do sports at all. I was always last at track and field in elementary school. My singing resembles that of a drunken chipmunk. I'm also terrible with directions, and I tend to panic when I get lost. Also, I don't breathe very much when I drive.
17. Are you married? What's your favorite thing about your spouse? I'm single, and have been for the last year; never married. Still friends with my ex, he helps me a lot in math.
18. Do you have any kids/pets? None, though I'd love to get a pet, especially a cat. I'd be moving back home every 4-8 months when I'm not at school though, and my mom hates pets. She claims she's allergic.
19. How many makeup brushes are you using personally? About eight, on a regular basis; I'm getting three more on Wednesday hopefully. I really need an angled blush brush.
20. What's the strangest job you ever had? I've never been employed. I did do a bit of volunteering though... One time at a childrens festival working at an inflatable. I'm hoping to work at least part time this summer. After moving out for school, the thought of staying at home all day for four months seems too much to bear -- My mom tends to baby me quite a lot.

1. Where are you from? OMG hacienda heights, ca
2. Where is that exactly? its in los angeles county
3. Tell us about that state/area! i <3 hacienda heights, and i <3 to make fun of hacienda heights. its a nice area (an unincorporated area, not a real city), close to the city, but a small community. I love where I live because i have access to pretty much anything i need, since its in the same county as one of the biggest cities in the world Los Angeles. I'm also close to the OC where I went to college, and I can drive to vegas in under 4 hours. its great.
4. What decade were you born? 80's!
5. Tell us about a (perhaps completely useless) MAD skill you have! Well, I think very mechanically and I am very, very good with my hands, I can put something together with ease or develop patterns easily. I can see something and figure out how it was made, very good at problem solving.
6. How many languages do you speak? What are they? English and I like to speak the little French I know :P
7. Do you like to travel? Where have you been? I love to travel! Ive been to London (to check out some art schools), Paris a couple times, and Amsterdam. Oh, and Mexico and a couple of states in the East coast. Oh, and Alabama (i have cousins there haha)
8. Do you eat breakfast? What do you usually have? I am totally with "darkhairedgirl" here, I am an oatmeal girl, and looooove steel cut oats!!! I actually stopped using steel cut oats because of their preparation, I use Coach's Oats which is sold around here, they're oats that are processed to have a steel cut texture (a little crunch) but cook like regular oats <33333 I have them every morning mixed with a cut up banana, some sliced almonds, and a dash of honey or honey powder. With a cup of tea w/milk (Yorkshire or PG Tips).
9. What are your pet peeves? When my boss turns up the stereo in our part of the shop so she can hear it, but she's so far away its faint for her and blasting for us. So I guess, people who are inconsiderate/arrogant/selfish. Long nails.
10. What are your hobbies? I love to "research" online. Before I buy anything new, I will research reviews. Oh, and I also do mold making, pattern making, sewing, dabble at screen printing.

11. What got you into mineral makeup in the first place? Lancome's Ageless Minerale, I wanted to see what else there was.
12. What do you do for a living? I'm a production artist for a custom leather jewelry business.

Should I just leave this blank?? haha, I'm not very good at deciding what to eat, extremely indecisive. I want food from 5 places, but will only eat a tsp of something and be done. Im also not good at self esteem, i get embarassed or shy, and when people wave towards me I look behind me to see if they're waving at someone else. :/
17. Are you married? What's your favorite thing about your spouse? Not married, but bf lives with me and the parents :) He's on my dad's emergency call list at work, before me!! lol
18. Do you have any kids/pets? no, but am taking care of my sisters min pin and yorkie while she's moving.
19. How many makeup brushes are you using personally? Fluffy Lancome, SN ultimate eyeshadow brush, an ecotools eyeshadow brush for eye concealer, and some stupid avon one thats prickly but i just use it for brow highlighter :P
20. What's the strangest job you ever had? For me the strangest job was an administrative assistant @ an insurance agency :/ Trying to be something Im not. For most, I was a costumed performer at children's birthday parties, I did games, balloon animals, face painting, and Ive been Tinkerbell, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Dora (yuck), and a clown named Smiley.

Awww, we have so many cool people on the forum! Yay!

1. Where are you from? Born in Gainesville, FL (go Gators!) and now live near Wilmington, NC (but in the boonies).
2. Where is that exactly? 10 minutes from the beach, and in the middle of nowhere. I have to drive at least 10-15 minutes to get to a Walmart
3. Tell us about that state/area! Time to brag! Most people would love to live here due to the beach. It's just ok for me--I'm so fair that I burn rather easily, and I hate getting sand in my swim suit.
4. What decade were you born? I'm a product of the 80s.
5. Tell us about a (perhaps completely useless) MAD skill you have! Due to a strange birth defect that makes me oddly flexible, I can put one leg behind my head and stand up on the other.
6. How many languages do you speak? What are they? I used to be able to read fluently in French, and understand fluent speakers. Since I haven't had it in years though, I have lost a lot.
7. Do you like to travel? Where have you been? I love to travel! I've been to England, France (twice--Paris, Nice, Cannes, and Toulouse) and Canada (Banff and Quebec). I haven't made it west of the Mississippi yet though.
8. Do you eat breakfast? What do you usually have? I try and do scrambled egg whites with a little bit of cheese on them. Yum!
9. What are your pet peeves? Little things--like when people don't clear the seconds off of the microwave so I can't tell what time it is. I like things to be rather neat and orderly.
10. What are your hobbies? I love to read, knit, and quilt. Right now I'm in grad school, so I don't have much time for any of that.

11. What got you into mineral makeup in the first place? While in college, I really got into environmentalism and trying to live in a sustainable way. I'm not perfect, but mineral makeup is so easy and fun!
12. What do you do for a living? I'm going to grad school full time to get my masters in education. I'm working as a graduate assistant 20 hours a week.
13. How do you personally apply mineral foundation? Dry, with a flat top brush. I do light layers and spray a hydrosol on my face in between to get rid of the powdery look.
14. What are your favourite eye shadow colors? I am so boring--I love neutrals, especially since I wear them most days, but I like mixing it up with a bolder eyeliner color.
15. What are your favourite lip colors? Well so far I only have Rhapsody (which I love) and Foreplay. Of the two, Rhapsody is my favorite, but I'm going to be making another order soon...
16. Are you bad at anything (you can totally say no....everyone knows most SN girls are perfect in every way)? I'm hopeless with directions. Really, really hopeless.
17. Are you married? What's your favorite thing about your spouse? Yes! Yesterday was one month that we've been married. And I totally forgot, opps. I love that he's so honest (ladies, if you ever want an honest opinion about how anything looks, you can ask him). He can fix just about anything, and I love that he challenges me. Basically, I just love him, lol.
18. Do you have any kids/pets? Not yet, but the last time I mentioned a dog this summer, he said "maybe" instead of giving me the look that says "yeah right." I'm making progress!
19. How many makeup brushes are you using personally? Hmmm... flat top, blush brush, and two or three eyeshadow brushes (you gotta blend!)
20. What's the strangest job you ever had? The one I have pretty much takes the cake. My supervisor has split personalities.

Ok, now it's the old lady's turn.
1. Where are you from ? Born in Rocky Ford, raised in Ordway and now live in La Junta, Colorado.
