There are some people in this world who, unseemingly perhaps, are mind-readers when it comes to gift giving, or in this case beauty exchanges. Kayleigh writes the blog BeautyWish and we were assigned to one another as swap partners by Hannah Marie (who organised the beauty swap which we signed up for). We spent a good few weeks emailing back and forth just chatting and getting to know each other's beauty preferences and for me this is usually the most enjoyable part of beauty exchanges. It's really interesting to be able to talk one-on-one with another beauty enthusiast
Above you can see all the bits and pieces that Kayleigh picked out for me. She knew I have a particular love for lip products and she really spoilt me and got me three! I finally have a Revlon Lip Butter to try out, I have been so sceptical about these for so, so long but I have to say that my first impressions were very good. She also picked out a Topshop Cream Blush which I'm very excited about as I love cream blushes and have been keen to try one for an age. I've already cracked open the Maybelline Mascara that she chose for me and couldn't be happier with it (a review of this is definitely on the cards soon). To be honest, I love everything. From lips to nails she chose splendidly. I'm really looking forward to opening and trying out all of these products and I'll be using and reviewing them all in the upcoming weeks. If you haven't already tried a beauty swap then I'd highly recommend the whole process to you. It really is so much fun, it isn't often you get to shop for other people with such a knowledge of what they like to use. I have to say a big thank you to Kayleigh, she's such a lovely person and she was a wonderful swap partner.
Have you ever done a beauty swap before?
What a great swap! I have never done a beauty swap before but I have read/seen quite a few lately and it and I admit the idea has planted itself in my head :) Can't wait to see your thoughts one everything, so nice that you loved the lip butter!
