A weekend or two ago I met my beautiful friend Samantha of SamanthaSmith.com.au for a coffee in the city. I love an excuse for brunch. Any excuse will do. We just needed a catch-up, ooh and we took the opportunity to exchange our goodies for SS Beauty Swap (a swap that Samantha arranged for Aussie beauty bloggers.) It was kind of like Christmas. And my birthday. All wrapped up into one wonderful coffee-laden, berry tart and chocolate volcano cake-filled morning. Samantha chose some killer picks for me. And being the big kid that I am, I couldn’t wait to get them home and play with them!
From top: Face of Australia Sheer Gloss Lip Crayons in Macaron, Cupcake and Sundae, Maybelline The Falsies Flared Mascara in Blackest Black, Essence Lipstick in All About Cupcake, Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Too Cool and Audacious Asphalt, L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Colours in Parisian Rooftops and Perle De Jade.
And one gorgeous Sportsgirl Pout Line lip pencil in Beauty Queen, who in my over-excitable state, I forgot to photograph was too shy to have her picture taken. The lovely S also gifted me a legendary chunky gold bracelet from Colette, which I am just loving to death. (She’s the pretty one on the left.)
My beauty cupboard feels refreshed, renewed and re-wonderful-ised. (Yes, I made up a word. Deal with it.) I am so overjoyed with my swap goodies! Samantha chose things that I really wanted but either hadn’t had the time to purchase, or hadn’t been able to find. Her colour choices are just so ME. And I am already wearing almost everything (and those things that I’m not wearing I have plans for…) *finger pyramid of evil contemplation*
I can’t wait to share my reviews with you!
Did you participate in SS Beauty Blog Swap? What excellent goodies are currently re-wonderful-ising your beauty cupboard? Let me know!
Love,

That looks like so much fun! The whole lot – making the package, receiving the surprises and (of course) the cake… I’ll definitely be looking out for the next swap!
Re-wonderfulising – I’m currently “shopping my stash”. I haven’t gotten around to doing 7 days of braids but I’m doing 7 days of eyeshadow instead… I’ve never really worn eyeshadow so it’s been really interesting, I’m learning a lot
Ooooh, what a great haul! Yes, I did the SS Beauty Swap with the gorgeous Sonia of Shes Sonic – can’t wait to share what she gifted me with!
I almost bought those lip crayons on the weekend, but I’d already picked up the Face of Australia Lip Quench in Lychee Crush (because you made me want it so much!) and my partner said I could only have one and he was “saving me money”
I can’t wait to hear how they turn out!
Essence All About Cupcake is epic!
Wow, I LOVE the nail polish colours… and your arm candy is Saaaaa-weet!
You received some amazing goodies R, but it is all well-deserved:) The bracelet is fantastic X
You got some fantastic things. I love the Lip Crayons. They are fantastic for every day use when you can’t be bothered with lipstick. I haven’t tried the L’Oreal nail polishes yet, but the colours they have are fantastic! I like how they are mini since it’s so hard to finish off a bottle.
I love what goodies you got! Those polishes look amazing and so does that lipstick (and everything else, actually, but those are my favourites).
Happy Belated Birthday again and what a wonderful present SS chose! Simply stunning on you!
