Beauty Box Swap

Canada/UK

Hello lovelies :)

I am so excited to write this post!  My awesome cousin from the UK suggested we do a box swap back in March.  The aim was to have the packages delivered in time for Easter....obviously that didn't work out, considering I am doing this post in May.

We had sent off the packages on the exact same day, my package was delivered to her within 2 weeks, hers however, took a bit of a tour....

Her package was returned to her all torn up and with a few items removed :(  Poor girl had to repackage what was left and try mailing it again.  Nonetheless, I finally received mine on May 8th.
However, I was not at all pleased with the condition of the package....see below....

Luckily nothing was missing or broken.
I was so excited to open this goody bag!  So let's see what was inside this Royal Mail package :) 


Sleek - Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette




Love the packaging

SLEEK!!!!!  I was sooooo happy when I saw this palette!  I have watched so many YouTube beauty gurus use this product, and have always wanted to try it.  

The palette has a mirror which I love and also comes with a double sided applicator.

I love the fact that these are all neutral colors (I love neutrals).  I will definitely be using these shades :)


 Next item....

Collection 2000 - Lasting Perfection, Ultimate Wear Concealer







Lasting Perfection concealer.  I used this for my under eyes this morning and it blends so smoothly, and the coverage is great.  (Product indicates 16 hour wear)


Shade:  Deep 4






I just put a few dabs and blended it out with my fingers. The product didn't crease or settle into any fine lines.

I have also heard Sammi rave about this on her YouTube channel BeautyCrush.




 Item # 3...

Accesorize - Bronzer




The product description on the back just says Bronzer, not sure if that is the shade or if it is a Bronzer....

It's a pretty peachy shade with a little bit of glitter, great blush for summer time.

Next up....  


Another  product by Accessorize.  A beautiful eye shadow palette :)  I love the colors, very wearable.  Some of the shadows are shimmery and some are matte.






All the colors are very pigmented.  Palette comes with a double ended applicator.




Keeping up with the eye shadow theme is the next item (one of my faves)





Shade:  Tango

An Illamasqua eye shadow!!!!  She could not have picked a better color.  I am in love with the color and the packaging.  
I am so excited to finally try out a product from this line :)


Item # 6....














BARRYM Dazzle Dust!!!!!!!
OMG, I have heard about BarryM and have never had any products from this line, I was so excited to see this.



Item #7 & 8


Shade:  Black







A lovely limited edition mascara by Accessorize.
Shade:  Pink Natural






And a Lily Lolo lip gloss.  (it smells like chocolate!)


Now, a package from UK would not be complete without....



She is so sweet that she had to send me some sweets!  

That completes the items from my Royal package :)  Hope this post wasn't too long or boring.  If you guys want to see what I sent to Suth, make sure you guys check out her blog  A Sweet Escape.  

Until next time, stay beautiful!  :)
