My First International Blogger Swap (With Mags from EmeraldEyeliner!)

The posting of this swap has taken forever because every time I look at all of the gorgeous items I feel the need to put practically every product on my face! Mags did an AMAZING job in getting me basically everything I'd get myself! I did ask for a few specific items, but mostly told her what I liked (Lipstick, Blush and corals, corals and pinks;-)! -well, makeup!) and that I was eager to try Sleek, MUA and Barry M. Mags did not disappoint!!! 

Packaged goodies and cute post it notes=)

When The post man walked up my driveway I ran out in my jammies, I was excited, he smiled and said, wow, must be some good stuff!, I thought to myself-you have no idea-Make up from abroad-!!

UD Tinted Moisturizer, 17 Blow Out Eye Kohl Liner, Bourjois Max Definition Mascara, Collection Multiplier mascara, Some beautiful Oasis bracelets <3 b="b">

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette

I was ecstatic to see the Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzing powder (with the cool spinning mirror attached!), The adorable Bourjois Blush with mini brush, The gorgeous 3 by Sleek Palette- I was beyond excited as I drooled every time I saw this in blogs!!! and last but not least my new everyday-everynight-always new favorite blusher-MUA #4. This color is gorgeous. In fact I returned a lot of unloved, unused MAC ones because this one (and all the others will easily take their places!!)

Sleek by 3 blush palette <3 b="b">

Swatches: L to R-MUA #4, Bourjois mini blush, Bourjois Delice, YSL Bronzer

The swap started, as I mentioned with a Kate Moss Rimmel Schiap dupe, #20-which is gorgeous, she also kindly send the beautiful coral #16. I mentioned to Mags but these Rimmel lipsticks smell good! The American Rimmel lipsticks smell don't appeal to me, at all. I've heard people describe them as sugary sunscreen-I love their lipsticks but the smell put me off. The ones Mags sent smell divine-again I cannot describe it except to say I'd like to eat them. 

I LOVE the Lipsticks-Beautiful selection of pinks and corals-there is one Barry M lip color missing. My mom asked to "borrow" it (she's too cute). It was a green lippie that adjusts to your lip tone and changes color. I thought my mom was going to cry with happiness, I let her have it;)

L to R: 17, MUA Nectar, MUA #3, Barry M, Collection "Sweet Tart", Rimmel #20, Rimmel #16

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette

Swatches are the same as they are placed on the palette
top row/top on arm, L to R. The pigmentation of these are wonderful! Have used this palette several times without a primer and even in this bloody 102-108 degree weather looks decent! 

17 Glitter eyeshadow (didn't write the name down and it's at home-D'oh!) Gorgeous color!

Nail Paint By Barry M (No color listed but its a gorgeous Vibrant coral frost, and  (Finally) Barry M Peach Melba!! I have literally had this on my wish list for ever!! I LOVE them both!!

A Beautiful Marilyn Monroe card (Mag is a huge Marilyn fan!), free Bourjois glasses that she kindly included as they were a free gift with purchase. Have worn them everyday. And the beautiful beaded bracelets.

I have to say I was SOOOOO happy with my swap with Mags, I can honestly say besides getting all these wonderful, and amazing products I've also made a new friend. I think Mags can attest to that. I probably tweet her about 20 times a day. Just like old chums do!
If you get the chance to swap, I cannot recommend it enough. Mags and I are swap buddies for life (Like Ted and John in TED the movie)hehe.
