Birthday swap

Hello!
Last month i joined a birthday swap which was organised on the Beauty Box Swappers facebook group. I have mentioned them before, you can get amazing products you want for things you don't want. One girls trash is another girls treasure and all of that jazz. However this one was different, i paired up with two ladies and have received both of my lovely boxes from Stacey and Danielle. I will have to hunt together everything from stacey as i did not have my camera when it arrived but it was lucious filled with treats and goodies that i adored. I promise to upload pictures from that one too this week. My second box arived today from Danielle and i had my camera to hand so i got snapping.
Massive haul wrapped beautifully
So this swap was arranged and we agreed on a £10 budget -You will see how naughty my birthday swappette was and blew the budget and then some!














I am blown away with the sheer amount of thought that went into this box. There is not one thing that i dislike and the thoughtful extras and the accompanying notes made me so happy. My fave items were the real techniques brush (swoon) and the Chanel lippy and nail varnish (stunning colour) My mum was here when i opened this and she loved the idea, so we went shopping for more things for Danielle's box - i hope she likes it! Thank you so so much darling, you are amazing - so strange to be strangers and send each other gifts. This was seriously my best birthday present this year :D

Have you done any mystery swaps?

Birthday make up haul

Sorry i have not updated in ages, i have been super busy. Monday was my birthday and i travelled home to Blackpool to see my friends and family and it was super dooper. I was so excited to see everyone and we got to do lots of touristy Blackpool things i dont usually do.
And for my birthday i got treated, big time. I usually buy the majority of my make up together in summer when i go away as i have put away spending money and its cheaper in the airport. This means that everything usually runs out at the same time and i get left with the scraps and i get very sad. The only thing that truly gives me pleasure in buying is make up, i have never been a shoes, handbag or clothes kinda girl but my make up bag is my pride and joy. This is why i am SO excited to share with you the amazing presents i got this weekend.

I also got lots of other lovely gifts and house things that i might do a post on soon.I also got a mound of goodies from the lovely ladies at beauty box swaps when i got home so it was like two birthdays :D I got well and truly spoilt and i am so happy, thank you everyone!
