Swap with Color_Those_Lips (July 2016)

A few months ago, Annalee from Colour_Those_Lips on Instagram asked if anyone wanted to do a swap, and I immediately contacted her, and from there we got to know one another a bit and decided to do a swap together.

A bit about Annalee:

She is a beauty blogger from Perth, Australia.
Shes a Mum to her wonderful son.
She is expecting a little girl.
She loves colour, and lip products - hence her name
And she is so close to hitting 1k on her Instagram, so go give her a follow!

Our budget for our swap was $70 and I think we had about a month and a bit to collect items and send our parcel out.

Here's what she got me!


Some samples. I actually love samples, gives you a chance to try out products before you splurge and buy them. I have the Kate Somerville (I think I can't see the name in the image and I don't have the product on me) Exfolikate Cream. Which I think is an exfoliating cream. I love exfoliating products so I am excited to try this out. A Jericho Hand Cream I haven't heard of this brand. I don't use hand creams often because my hands are pretty, sweaty I guess? but I will try this out. And finally my favourite sample. Too Faced Shadow Insurance I have already used this, and I actually liked this. Different texture to my Mac Soft Ochre but I did like it and will probably buy it when in Melbourne.


Two lip products. A Essence Glitter Lip Balm which isn't too glitter and not chunky either which is great. And a Boe Beauty Cream Lipstick I forgot the shade but it is a coral. I normally don't buy corals, this is actually my first. Mainly because I have stained yellow teeth due to medication I take and I fear its going to make my teeth appear more yellow. But I'll give it a shot. My lipstick packaging also came broken. Wasn't Annalee's fault. I know that this Boe Brand packaging is pretty cheap, but the product inside is good. I did manage to fix it though.


Two Face of Australia Products. Their Translucent Powder which I think I have heard people talk about. I tried it out the other day and liked how lightweight it is. Feels like nothing on the face. And a Liquid Liner this is a brush tip, which I don't like (Personal preference) But I will try it out.


A few Seacret items. I also got a Nail File But i had used it and it looks horrible so I didn't include it in the photo haha. A Nail Buffer which i will probably use in a moment. Mum has already pinched it from me. a Body Lotion which I don't usually use but I have been and OMG my skin feels sooo good. And finally a Cuticle Oil which I do have this, but its fairly old, but from memory its fantastic.


A Cherry Blooms Fiber Eyelash Extention Kit. I can't wait to do a first impressions on this. I have naturally long lashes, so I don't need extensions, but I might use this on Mum as shes been talking about getting some.


This isn't the last product, I forgot to take a photo of the other item. But these are some Essenzza Fuss Free Naturals Facial Wipes. These are going in my handbag in Melbourne for when I go to the DFO and visit the Mac CCO and Cosmetics Fragrance Direct. I need to get those swatches off somehow, and sometimes there aren't tissues in store.


And the final item was a Lush Lipstick and I cannot wait to use this. I haven't tried Lush Cosmetic products. I forgot what shade she got me, but its a wearable pink shade.
