A very Yummy Swap!
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 9:00AM Beginning of November, Kia from the fabulous blog Yummy411 and I got talking about doing a make-up swap. In fact I dropped her an email to see if she'd be interested in doing one with me. I wanted to do one myself before I opened it up to my readers. Trial runs are always a good thing.
After a few emails back and forth we settled on a budget and our wishlist of items and set about getting the bits and pieces for each other. It was a very chilled swap. I thoroughly enjoyed it! She got me a fair amount from my list. I was very happy. See for yourself!
L'Oreal Decrease, Loew Cornell Brush Jar, MUFE 92, NYX eyeshadow in Rust, MAC Zoomlash mascara, NYX lipstick in Fushion, beauty cleanser sample, NYX jumbo pencil in Pots and Pans, Smashbox Black gel liner, Black Opal Stick Creme stick foundation
Looking at this swap one might think it's a little bit *random* but let me assure you a lot of the items I received have long since been on my wishlist!
MUFE 92 I have been on a waiting list with Guru Make-up Emporium for over 10 months just so I could get my hands on this eyeshadow. Please don't ask me why they haven't called me yet. I don't know. Each time I talk to them they say it's out of stock. So I gave up trying. No bother. I have it now and the hype around it is pretty justified. I have to say however that it is not the easiest colour to blend. You HAVE to have another eyeshadow beneath it to allow it to blend appropriately or else you'll be sitting there for hours trying to make it happen.
Black Opal Creme foundation Stick I need more of these in my life. I really do. Kia chose a colour for me that that pretty darn close to my skin colour. Over the internet I might add. Across the atlantic! The girl has got skills. I love this foundation and it is serving me well. Granted it is not the best for oily skin, the coverage is awesome. This particular shade works well for the outer perimeter of my face. I would like to try and get a more yellow based stick for the centre of my face to see if I can get a more natural finish. I feel a growing love for these coming on...
NYX Round Lipstick in Fusion Ah, of all the lipsticks that Kia picked, she picked this one. And I wonder why? Could it be because I have a serious love affair with lipsticks in this colour family or was is it a lucky break. I'll go with the former. She was so spot on with this! I'm gonna feature this little number in a few FOTD's to come...
NYX eyeshadow in Rust I'm not sure why I've wanted this eyeshadow for so long. I just have. And it did not disappoint. Perhaps its the love affair with redy/bronzy/browny/goldy colours I'm going through at the moment. Either way I'm happy.
L'Oreal Decrease I just wanted to try another drugstore eye primer. I'm slightly obsessed with keeping colour on my lids for excessive amounts of time just for kicks. Decrease has received interesting reviews and one of these days you guys will find out exactly why from my perspective. I do like it but it's a strange one, this primer.
Loew Cornell Brush Cleaning Jar I think Kia must have wondered why on earth she had to run around looking for a glass jar for this crazy African woman over in England. Well you see the thing is this. A long time ago I saw a review by a beauty blogger who used this nifty little jar to wash her make-up brushes. I was so totally sold on it, the jar just lived on my wish list for an age. I have it now and I hope that it lives up to the lofty reputation I have for it in my mind :)
Can you believe that I have never used a MAC Mascara in my life? Hence why the MAC Zoomlash has officially become my first. This was a very special extra Kia threw in for me, as well as the Smashbox Gel eyeliner and Purity Facial Cleanser. The lady is very generous and I am grateful to her.
If you haven't done so already, please go and check out Kia's blog. The chances are you already know her but just incase....I say definitely go take a look. Better yet, subscribe. She's fabulous and when she churns out her FOTD's, the girl means business!!! Don't believe me, check this post out. I was floored when I saw it. Still am....
Stay Blessed lovlies xxx
