best mail I've ever gotten in my LIFE!

Who cares about all my college acceptance letters! Since I can't afford to go to a university anyway >:[ Getting my makeup from the amazing Rachel was the best thing to come home from vacation to! Here's some things I had my family win for me at King's Island amusement park, heehee. THAT'S A FREAKING LICKYLICKY! It's Lickitung's evolved stage. Lickitung is my favorite Pokemon :D On to the magical mystical box of foreign makeup *_* We did a swap, and I don't know what I was expecting but certainly not THIS MUCH awesome stuff! I was seriously jumping around and yelling because I was so excited. Oh makeup, what you do to me... The Sleek Sunset Palette! Some really cute Beauty UK palettes! Barry M metallic liners, COLLECTION 2000 GLAM CRYSTAL LINERS (OMG DID I EVER WANT THESE SO BADLY), Sleek Kajal liner (in purple!), Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara (a discontinued in the US fave of mine), and some Me Me Me lip & cheek tint (it has a nail polish style applicator!) She sampled a ton of her Barry M pigments for me, as well as a few from other companies too :) Wasn't that so sweet? She also got me two full size Barry M pigments, a blue and a bronze, my favorite summer color combo. This seriously was the best thing EVER... I just came down with a cold so I'm not really wanting to do any looks right now, but if there is anything you'd like to see swatched, please feel free to let me know! This whole swapping experience pleased me so fabulously that I'm really eager to do it again. If anyone from the UK wants to do a swap that we'd send sometime in the next couple months, lemme know, cus I'd love it! :D We can set a price limit, and if there's any brands or specific products you're looking for I'd be more than happy to scout them out for you. Drop me an email or a comment if you'd be interested :)

  1. Aw, this looks so fun! Is it pretty easy to do a blog swap? How much did you have to pay for shipping?

  6. Oh looks like an amazing swap!
    The swap thing is all new to me but someday I'd definitely want to try it.. Great way to get products from other countries! As unfortunately I'm not able to shop online.. So swapping would be awesome. :D Though, I don't know if there's any nice brands in Finland that anyone would want. :'D

    Looking forward to see your make up looks with these products ^_^ x

    @In Her Makeup Bag: Shipping was $12; I wanted to add insurance but that would have cost an extra $18!

    @Robyn: I just checked, she did indeed send me no 98! :D
