UK - US Secret Santa Make-up swap and a Mini-Haul
Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 4:07PM Hey guys, how you doing today?
First of all can I just say Thank to all 57 of you :D 57 readers, for me, is pretty darn cool. I do appreciate you taking the time to read my beauty blog and I hope you continue to like what I put out there :)
Well I've been sitting here trying to find a place where I could do a make-up swap. However all the ones I found were already closed. They are like secret underground sects or something!!! If there is one running somewhere that I've missed please please please drop me a line.
Before I go and post something on Specktra I wanted to ask you guys if anyone would be interested in doing a drug haul make-up swap with me or anyone else who follows on this blog.
I am offering to swap stuff like this :D
Stargazer [Lipglosses and eye dusts]
Barry M [lip paint, Nail varnish and Dazzle dusts]
GOSH [Waterproof eyeshadow, lipgloss, eyeliner, make-up brushes]
Collection 2000 [Dazzle me dusts]
Boots no 17 [Eyeshadow/gloss/lipstick]
Myfacecosmetics [blush/lipstick]
Eyelure Eyelashes
Go Cosmetics
In exchange for:-
NYX [lipgloss/lipstick/eyeshadow/blush]
Jesse's girl [eyeshadow]
L'oreal HIP [paints/duos/]
Certain Revlon products [baked bronzers]
Loew Cornell brushes [mop head]
Cover Girl
Red Cherry Lashes
Sonia Kashuk etc
If you're interested please drop me a comment and we can arrange something :) Christmas in July!!!!! If there are several people wanting a piece of the action I am willing to organise a full on swap fest for errrrrrbadi and if you're from another country even better we can more than accomodate you too!!!
Anyhoo a couple days ago I was in Super [make-up] Drug and picked up 3 GOSH items:-
Light 'N Shine Lip Glaze in no 05 £8.32
Effect Powder in Holographic Silver £5.39
Effect Powder in Plummy F£ee :) [Buy 3 for 2]
I bought the GOSH Lipglaze because it is a pretty good dupe for MAC Dazzleglass Funtabulous. It's just a little less pigmented but pretty much gives you the same effect. Feels lush on the lips, none sticky and last for a good while.
I have some random crazy idea in my head for the Holographic glitter. If I can pull it off then it was so worth the purchase and as for Plummy, its just a lovely colour to get for free!
Side note *My lips on Macro mode are just huge :p*
GOSH Lipglaze in no 5 on its own [I apologise for the poor shots. It's hard to photograph lipgloss!]
Sleek Amethyst Lipstick with GOSH Lipglaze no 5 over the top of it.
Hotness.
Stay Blessed people xxx

I would definitely be interested, x100 if you could get me a sleek neon palette, I've wanted that soooo bad ever since you posted the pink and purple look using it!
But if not, I'd love to try out some barry m.
I'll see if I can get the Acid palette for you love! I know its sold out in a bunch of places but I'll certainly try :)
How do you find the holographic effect powder? I have the holographic nail polish which is very different from every other nail polish I have seen and I love it! So I was wondering if the effect powder really does have that holographic look.
If only my Superdrug or Boots sold the sleek palettes, I've been hunting for them for ages!!
I would definitely be interested in doing a swap with you! I've heard soo much about your lovely UK-only makeup brands and would really like to try them. I'd love to swap for some Sleek eye palettes and some other stuff. Let me know if your interested.
Ooooh that effect powder in Plummy is nice. What's it used for? Eyes, cheeks AND lips?
Loving the gloss with that Sleek lipstick too. Oh WHY did I look at your blog post!?!
Oh myy..that sleek lipstick is gorgeous on you.
@LilBiuty I havent used the Holographic effect powder yet. I'm gonna try a cut crease with it and see how I get on with it. It'll need a very sticky primer me thinks.
@Mama Mish Mash I've got you down on my list love. We'll definitely make a plan.
@Vexinthecity Plummy is lovely. You can use it for all those. I'll try it as a blush and see how it goes.
@LaaLaa thank you love! It is my favorite lipstick no doubt and with the lipgloss it is da bizness!
I am so interested. I would love to get my hands on that sleek acid palette. I would love to swap with you Just Let me know
If you can't find the acid palette, I'd love some barry m stuff, I'm intrigued by their lipsticks and shadows. I still need the acid palette in my life, but if not now, then someday I will hunt it down, so either way is fine.
interested! sleek palette omg!!
Would love to swap anytime!!! Im obsessed with uk brands at the moment and have access to everything on your wishlist!
Your swap and everything posted is amazing! Christmas in july is sooo fun!
@Slvrlips I'll see what I can do!!!But I've certainly put you on my swap list!
@Sodapopfairy i was looking at your blog and I have THE perfect Barry M colours for you! but we'll talk about that in a short while :)
@Yummy411 you're on my list love!
@Sarah i've got you down as well lovely! we're gonna make this happen!!!!
Wow I just found your blog through your youtube channel after seeing your Transformers look for a makeup contest. Wow oh wow you did a great job.
I'd be interested in swapping. I'm in the US too. I already have all my sleek palettes except Safari and I think someone else is going to pick that one up for me. :O) But I'm will to swap anything else.
Also, have you tried Makeupalley.com for swapping as well. :O)
I really want that Sleek Amethyst lipstick and I think I saw you with a Barry M purple lipstick somewhere on your site, you swatched it on your hand. I've also heard wonderful things about Barry M, and other UK only products.
Wonderful idea. :O)
@ T.R. Thank you! I'm glad you like it!!!! I'll pop your name on the list for a swap. I'm getting excited now!!!!
I would love to swap for some UK brands! I'm a NYX Rep, I currently have some NYX on sale on my blog here. See anything you want to swap for?
