The best present ever...


Hello my darlings!
Today the weather is miserable and i was also a little miserable too. I began to tidy my house, did the kitchen, gave up and started watching episode after episode of Peep Show. Then a knock at my door turned my day right around. A parcel, a massive parcel at that, was handed to me. This parcel has been sent from Danielle, a beauty box swapper for the Queens Jubilee Swap (any excuse ladies!). As you can tell from my blog, i am a huge fan of swaps, there is nothing more exciting than opening beauty gifts in my opinion. I have swapped with Danielle before, you can see that post here. I thought i would share what i received with you as i personally love reading these sort of posts.


Such pretty wrapping




Made from a recycled bottle


I bought this lipstick off ebay - I had no idea Danielle was the seller! 





Oh my gosh

How seriously stunning

Is this?!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

 I am totally blown away. This is the best present ever! Its so strange to think somebody knows exactly what i like when they have never met me. I really hope Danielle likes her gifts as much as i like mine.

I will be doing some serious reviewing this month with all my new things!

A very very happy,
Kerri

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?
