The Makeup Swap ft. Pauline from Addicted to Makeup!

Oh look, my first makeup swap! I AM EXCITE, SINCE THIS WAS 3 MONTHS IN THE PLANNING AND WAIT TIME, YOU GUYS. Anyways, earlier this week, my swap package from Pauline (Addicted to Makeup) arrived, and I ran home like a fat kid to open this badboy up. BUBBLE WRAP ENSUES.

(To see what I sent her, click here!)

1| No swap for me would be complete without a few blushes! Pauline sent me Tarte's 'True Love', NYX 'Summer Peach', and Wet n Wild's 'Mellow Wine' and ELF's Stippling Brush.
(UHM, LET ME JUST SAY I WAS COMPLETELY THROWN OFF BY THE APPEARANCE OF A TARTE BLUSH. I'm assuming the shade name is fitting of our relationship? ;))(Also, finally I GET MY HANDS ON THIS STIPPLING BRUSH!)

2| The oh-so-lovely card she sent me + chocolates! ʘ‿ʘ

3| Wet n Wild palettes in 'Greed' and 'Lust', Covergirl eyeshadow single in 'Mauveberry', and Essence's Sun Club bronzer. (The palettes are so gorgeous; "mauveberry", a nod to 'guavaberry', maybe?; THE BRONZER SMELLS OF COCONUTS :D)

4| Jordana's 'Best Lash Extreme' + '15 Hour Made to Last eyeshadow pencil' (Continuous Almond), Wet n Wild's 'Creme lipliner pencil' (x2).
(Finally I get my hands on some Jordana products, since Pauline keeps talking about them!)

5| Physician's Formula 'Healthy Wear' bronzer.
(Haven't seen this around, but it's matte and not orange-y in the pan, so far so good!)

6| Slicing open the box.

7| Bubble wrap ensues.

8| Blush swatches. L-R: Tarte's 'True Love', Wet n Wild's 'Mellow Wine', NYX 'Summer Peach'

GAH, SO THOROUGHLY PLEASED WITH MY BOX AND PAULINE IS THE BESTEST. 

(Seriously though, what she sent me makes my package seem inadequate. ._.''
I highly encourage you guys to check out her blog because she's one of the loveliest/sweetest/fantastical bloggers I know, and one of my first bblogger friends!)
