My first swap ever: Valentine swap

I joined  Sweetaholic beauty's Valentine swap. This was my first swap ever and it was so fun! Looking forward for doing more in the future ;) Jasmine paired me with Amy, who blogs over at Bottled Beauty. Check her out! She is so lovely.

Anyways, I received the package extremely fast, in one week that is, and she is from Australia! She still haven't received mine, although I send it one day before she did.

Here are the goodies she got me:

She wrote me a Valentine's card, which I believe is first one in my life which is not from my mother :D (don't laugh!)

I really wanted to try Revlon Just Bitten Kissable stains, because they are not sold here in Narnia. She got me colours Sweetheart/Valentine and Smitten/Éprise. Anyone knows why do they have 2 names? 

Anyways, I got so excited when I opened Sweetheart that I damaged a tip of a stain with a cap, need to be more gentle with my babies :). So far I like them!

 

I'm not a Rimmel virgin anymore! :D

 Look at this gorgeous shade! It's red, dark red but on a berry side. It smells amazing and I think it goes really well with my skin tone! Although I never match anything to my skintone. I rock everything :P 

Oh, this lippie is Lasting finish by Kate in  09 Rossetto.

 

Another Rimmel product is their Glam eyes Professional Liquid eyeliner. I love that brush is tiny so you can do a really fine line and it's also really pigmented. I've read that it's a good product, now it's my turn to be the judge :)

We have Essence in Slovenia, but she got me Lipstick pencil in 01 Cherry cherry girl from their Cherry Blossom collection. I believe that this collection is not sold here anymore, but I also haven't bought anything from it, but I really liked those pencils. And now I have one :)

 

Quick swatches. From left to right: Rimmel Rossetto, Essence Cherry Cherry girl, Revlon JBK Sweetheart and Smitten. Underneath is swatched Rimmel eyeliner.

Another Rimmel product she got me is their Lasting finish nail polish in 500 Disco ball. I mean, who doesn't love disco balls? I want to have one at home when I have my own place :D. But disco ball nails will have to do for now :D

Then she added some Australian brands, I always love to try new products :).

This glitter baby is by Australis Nail glitter top coat in Fairy bread. It looks alike to Essence Confetti one, but colours are slightly different and glitter is in different shapes.

 Another Australis product is Lash TLC conditioning mascara. I was pleasantly surprised that wand is curved, I actually used to curve straight wands on my own. I had no expectations, whatsoever, but I was surprised how amazing this mascara is. It lenghtens my lashes, but it also gives me volume. And Lord knows I need help with that :D

 I feel like this post is taking forever :D

She also got me 2 blushes, first one is BYS blusher in Fierce fuschia. It's such a pretty mixture of pink and coral shade with shimmer, never seen before a beauty like this one!

Second one is Essence Cherry blossom girl blush in 01 Asain sensation. It has two shades: blush and highlight. Really handy ;).

 Quick swatches: from left to right: Essence lighter shade, darker shade and BYS.

 Last but not least, is Eye shadow palette Summer days from Sports girl. She said this brand is like Australian Topshop and she got it for weekly makeup tags ;). How thoughtful!

Unfortunately, one of the shadows broke as you can see, but other colours are still in one piece and ready to use :)

Aaaand that's it. I hope she receives her package soon, I got her Catrice products and I hope she likes it all :).
You'll see all the products mentioned here in my future posts. 

Thank you for reading and have an amazing day!!
