Hello beauty babes !!
I hope the sun is shining where you are. Recently, Gemma from mccarthysbeautyreview and I decided that we were going to do a Christmas beauty box swap. You may recall our earlier box swap early in the year, and you can check that out here.
This is what I was lucky enough to recieve.
MUA merged trip eyeshadow
I am falling more and more in love with the brand MUA. Three gorgeous shadows which blend together to give a nice smokey eye.
Collection Lock N Hold Lip gloss in Break Dance
The colour of the packaging reminds me of tutti fruit. It gives the impression that it's highly pigmented but it isn't. This is more like a sheer gloss with a coral tint. Love the name of the colour though!
Make Up Revolution - the matte effect foundation
I am the first one to say just how much I love this brand and the work they do with bloggers. This foundation is good. The texture is slightly runnier then I would like but gives a solid 8 hours of coverage.
Lumiere d'hiver super comb prep and protect spray
The worst thing about this spray is the long ass name. Ain't nobody got time for that! It works really well though. Three pumps in my hair and it's easily detangled and easily brushed.
Dream Dot's for Spots
You can read my full review on dream dots by clicking here.
Origin modern friction natural dermabrasion
This is another exfoliater. It gets quite foamy when you work up a good lather. Really soft on your skin and a small amount goes a long way.
Avon Parrafin hand creme
My favourite thing about this one is the adorable christmas packaging. It's so chrismasy and themed for the holiday season.
Avon light moisture refreshing face gel
Avon's light moisture fave gel is scented like cucumber. I use this as a night cream because it drys my face out a bit, however it also leaves your face looking quite matte.
Lush bath bomb
Lush bath bombs are so delicious! Unfortunately the postman wasn't so kind to this one. But it smells divine! I can smell a hint of cocoa in it. I'm yet to use it but will keep you posted with the end results.
Whish lavender body butter
This body butter has a slight runnier texture than a butter. I would just call it a moisturiser but it smells absolutely gorgeous. A light hint of lavender which is quite relaxing .
Vasanti brightening cream
This little one is a face brightening cream. You wash your face and it exfoliates at the same time. I found it to be quite rough, though it does brighten and clean your face well.
The Body Shop choc lip butter
This yummy lip butter us from the Choco mania range. It smells more like hazelnut which reminds me of Nutella...yummy!
Thank you again Gemma for these goodies. Can't wait to explore them more. Have you got any thing on your wishlist? What are your thoughts on these products ?
