This is the second time I've participated in the Beauty Blogger Swap organized by Shannyn of Frugal Beautiful! I was paired up with Tammy the owner and blogger of Makeup Wishes and Lipgloss Dreams!
She was so sweet to send me so many items including cute little Clinique makeup bags!!! Thanks Tammy!
How did she know that I'm totally digging Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy shampoo and conditioner? I am seconds away from reviewing the shampoo. My daughter and I have almost used the entire bottle. I actually haven't tried the conditioner yet so I will try it a few times and review them together. I noticed an immediate change in my daughter's hair and then I started using it more regularly. More on that soon!
I also received a Crabtree and Evelyn hand lotion sample which I used immediately opening the package and never got a picture of it. Oops! Love me some Crabtree and Evelyn. My hands have been particularly dry and tight as of late and the sample immediately helped remedy that!
Fekkai is such a great brand for hair. And so expensive too! I'm always looking for a good color protectant for my locks. I'm getting ready to dye my hair again. Ugh. Light brown/gray roots really stand out with dark brown hair. lol
I am so excited to try the fresh Umbrian Clay Mattifying Serum. You all know by now my issues with combating oil down here in the humidity. Also The Body Shop Tea Tree line has been at the top of my list to try and now I have the facial wash to start off with.
I've already tried the Sephora Instant Moisturizer sample one night and I liked the way it made my skin feel. Moisturized, but not greasy, soft and smooth. I haven't tried it during the day under makeup yet. Oh and the "feel like honey moon skin base" looks really interesting! I really have not had the best of luck with primers. I sort of gave up on them but I am slowly revisiting the idea as my Rachel K cc cream renewed my interest. They are necessary and keep your makeup intact for longer, you just need to find the right one! Which I have (Rachel K cc cream) but it's always a good idea to have a backup. :)
I actually already have an Atopalm Intensive Moisturizing Cream that I have been saving for those dry skin days of winter. They do come in handy for me every once in a while. Either too aggressive with the scrubs/treatments or a rendezvous up in wintery Massachusetts will do it!
My daughter has already claimed the tokidoki nail art stickers as soon as I opened the package. We love our weekly mother daughter mani/pedis!
Oh how I love purple nail polish (second to green!) Essie Sexy Divide is an interesting duochrome in the bottle. Can't wait to see how it translate on the nail.
Well I really got an amazing selection of items! Thanks again Tammy!

Wow you got a lot of good stuff, that's great you also got an Essie polish! This is the first time I participated in a swap like this before, it was fun!
ReplyDeleteI love swaps!!! Usually I get nothing (lost in the mail. lol) but swaps like this one make up for it!
DeleteI am so happy that you like the little package that I put together for you. I love doing things like this. I will definitely be participating in the next swap that Shannyn throws! Hope that you enjoy the samples and I am glad that they are being loved after being neglected by me.
