Hi BT Party friends! 

It’s a cold rainy day here and I was thinking with all the love and heart parties going on recently, it might be cool to play a game of tag! 

Since I’m still pretty new to the forums, there are lots of you ladies I haven’t had the chance to say hello to! So, here is my evil plan: 

I’m going to tag someone that I don’t know very well, and ask a question (any question!) and they CAN’T tag me back, but have to tag SOMEONE ELSE and ask a question of their choosing and so on and so on. The same person should never be tagged twice. And  you can ask any question from “If I eat myself would I become twice the size or disappear completely?” to “What made you laugh today?” or “What was your biggest makeup tragedy?” 

To kick it off, hello @ElleElleG - Nice to meet you (or uhh, voluntold you?)! Inquiring minds would like to know: What if anything is currently sitting in an online cart? If there is nothing in there now, if money were no object what would you order for yourself ASAP? 

[ElleElleG]

😳 Way to put me on the spot @themusefactory 😉

Spoiler

I'm assuming this is makeup-related so I'll limit my response to that and I should warn you that I'm a bit boring (read frugal or even pragmatic).  Nothing in my cart at the moment, though I do plan to create an Ulta order before the week ends to take advantage of some of the point multipliers currently available to me.

🤔🤔🤔 if money were no object.... I would want to own the entire MUFE single eyeshadow collection since it is my favorite eyeshadow formula.  I would also want a quality set of brushes (likely MUFE but I don't know for certain as I am still researching and lets be honest, I'd likely talk myself out of anything with a hefty price tag regardless of available funds/quality). That's all I can think of, sorry 🙈

Tagging @VioletLavender , hi ☺️if you could travel anywhere where would you go and why?

[themusefactory]

Shhhhh! 

Spoiler

@ElleElleG That's not boring! I absolutely adore the MUFE shadows! My Sephora has only a few of the colors but there are some absolute stunners! And I agree, the formula is amazing! (What's your fav shade?) And I get the struggle with the brushes! I'm the kind of person that would rather spend a lot on something that's going to last me and be amazing, then have a ton of things that might not last and aren't the best. With brushes, I cannot recommend FUDE brushes enough! Though, ouch on the wallet for sure! 

[ElleElleG]

Spoiler

LOL @themusefactory others would've given a much more exciting answer 🙃

One of my favorite shades is M-928, so pigmented.  Favorite all over shade (at the moment) is a toss up between I-544 and I-606.

That makes sense! I'm not totally against spending a lot on them but I think it boils down to just how long they will last.  Also, finding any kind of consistency with what others recommend is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

What is FUDE??

[themusefactory]

Spoiler

@ElleElleG Oh man, I'm really sorry for the enabling that's about to happen! FUDE are Japanese brushes like Chikuhodo and Hakuhodo.  They are insanely soft. And the hairs are something like harvested from the underbelly of a rare goat that exist in mountain top fairytales. And of course all the hairs are hand chosen and hand assembled. 

AND SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! MUFE EGGPLANT IS MY MUST HAVE SHADOW! 

[ElleElleG]

@themusefactory 

Spoiler

Oh la la, I'll have to look into those brushes!!!

That shade is seriously to die for!  It was my first jump into purple eyeshadows and it is perfect for a variety of things!!

[ZombieMetroAnt]

@ElleElleG @themusefactory 

Spoiler

I feel so naughty reading your spoilers!!  Almost as if I'm eavesdropping 😬

Sshh, don't mind me...carry on! LOL 💕

[ElleElleG]

LOL, no worries @ZombieMetroAnt!  I only put my initial response in the spoiler because I thought it was a long response.

[VioletLavender]

Oh, what a cool idea @themusefactory! 😄

@ElleElleG This is SO hard to answer...I'm tempted to take the easy way out and say Paris, because that's the next trip that I have planned, haha...

But I think that my answer would probably be Thailand.  This is because a few years ago my parents traveled there and they visited an elephant sanctuary and befriended an adorable baby elephant.  I would like to meet him and see how he's doing. Does that sound nuts?  Oh well!  Also, because (obviously) Thailand itself is amazing. 😄

To continue the game:

@pixiedust2 What are your top five favorite animals?  I know, picking only five is super difficult, but that is the nature of this game! 😄 😄

[pixiedust2]

@VioletLavender I'm so sorry I'm so late to respond. I haven't checked my emails in days LOL. Ok here goes. 

1. Dogs (especially puppies!)

2. Koala Bears (yes they carry STD's but who cares, they're cute! 😂)

3. Big cats. Hard to pick just one, I find them all amazing. But I'll go with Leopard. 

4. Pandas, especially baby pandas. I can watch that baby panda live feed ALL day long. 

5. Bats. Yes bats. They're misunderstood 😂

Ok hope I'm doing this right. New question and new person, right? @lyravega Name your top five old movie stars. (had to pick this theme for you) Mine is Theda Bara 🖤

[VioletLavender]

@pixiedust2 Yay for bat love!

[themusefactory]

Shhhh! 

Spoiler

Oh! I adore Paris! I can't wait to hear about your adventure! Do you have anything specific planned? 

Thailand would be amazing to visit! I imagine it Bridgette Jones style on an island being super relaxed (minus the accidental drug use) 

[VioletLavender]

@themusefactory @Tamara76 @ElleElleG  Thanks so much you guys!

This will actually be my fourth time in Paris, and the trip is going to be *ahem* food-focused, naturally. 😄

I'm going to spend about two weeks there, and I have been thinking about some fun day trips...We plan to play it by ear a bit, so if you have any specific places that are special to you that you'd like to suggest, I'd love to hear them!  I'm definitely going to have to research Nimes!

[ElleElleG]

@VioletLavender OMG even better!  The first time I went to Paris we spent Thanksgiving at either a Korean BBQ or Chinese restaurant off the Champs-Élysées (no clue if it's still there/the exact name) & it was AMAZING! 

Please have a crepe with some nutella, strawberries, & powdered sugar on my behalf!

It's a couple hours away, but St. Malo is BEAUTIFUL and climbing up the Mont-Saint-Michel is an amazing experience. There are a number of shops and food places on the way up.  Even if you aren't able to go up MSM St. Malo is a quaint little town right by the water.  

Caen is a little closer, the D-Day Memorial is there.  There was a cute shop we stopped at near by that had a number of local treats (also can't remember the name, sorry).

Lyon is nice and has some nice areas 15-20 minutes away; Vienne comes to mind.

[VioletLavender]

Thank you so much for this @ElleElleG!  I've put all your suggestions on my list!

As for the crepe, let's just say that sweet crepes are one of my favorite things ON EARTH, so eating one in your honor can definitely be arranged. 😄

[veronika23]

I have to second @ElleElleG! Mont St Michel and St Malo are amazing! You must go to Sephora Fr to get some goodies we don't have here... like the laduree line 😄

[themusefactory]

@VioletLavender I used to live in champagne ardenne region of France (about an hourish north east of Paris) it's super beautiful! My Great Aunt who I adored lived in Troyes which is historically very interesting and the town itself is beautiful as it is still mainly 16th century buildings. I lived in Reims which has a beautiful Cathedral that is worth a visit. It dates back to the 12th Century and was notably liberated by Joan of Arc. Also, there are some great vineyards (and fields of lavender) with Champagne tastings ❤️ 

[themusefactory]

@VioletLavender @Ispend2much6 @tsavorite

It's such a special place for me ❤️ I'll try and find pictures to share! 

[tsavorite]

@themusefactory,

Are you real?  This sounds like a wonderful dream, or the setting to a nice romance-mystery novel... by Mary Stewart...  sigh.

[Ispend2much6]

@themusefactory  I am swooning at this....and I don't use that word lightly.

[VioletLavender]

@themusefactory  Ooh, that sounds amazing!  I'm definitely going to need to do a lot of fun research now! 😄

Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate it!
