My Beauty Swap With Loevens Makeup Rambles 2015

Hello Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

I have been sick most of this week but getting there now thank goodness there is nothing worse than been sick when you are a full time mum and blogger :)  You feel so useless and worried about what you are not getting done rather than getting better.  Anyways today is a different kind of blog post as you can tell by the title ;) 

Rikke from Lovevens Makeup Rambles and I have become good friends through facebook and through each other reading our blogs and we got chatting before Christmas about doing a Swap.  I was delighted to take part as its not that often you get that oppurtunity and to be honest I was curious about product from Denmark.  We agreed to take our time building up a collection for our swaps and shared information about our likes and dislikes.  We also agreed to a value excluding postage to spend on products :)  So In february we were ready to send our boxes of goodies to each other and to be honest our packages didnt even take that long to get to our destinations :)  

Rikke is such a sweet girl and to be honest I had 100% trust in her.  I wasnt even worried that she would send me items I wouldnt use as she seemed to listen  to everything I liked and disliked.  

I recieved my box first but decided I would wait until she got hers as I was a couple of days behind posting her box to her.  

The day she got hers was the day I opened mine :) 

Well I can tell you now she was one very very happy little lady with what I sent her so much so she even blogged the day she got them lol :) 

If you want to see what I got her check out her blog post here :) 

So Enough with the rambling and let me show you what I got :) 

When I first opened the box I was well impress with the way everything was put together all wrapped in bubble wrapping individually with a little note on each goody on top of all the goodies was some lovely different food stuff yummy :) hehehehe

Love me some new sweets ;) 

Along with that was a lovely little letter from Rikke :) underneath the sweets I spotted some lovely little samples to try out Thanks Rikke :) 

Next up was my favourite part :)  Opening up all the goodies she sent me :) First up was a personal favourite of Rikkes :)  An L.A Colors eyeshadow palette which I am looking very forward to trying out :) 

Next she got me something she just got herself and suggested we try it out together which is very exciting :) 

Another L.A Colors Eyeshadow Palettes :) 

She got me a new foundation I have not tried yet by Gosh and I am pretty sure the shade is the right shade too :)  I am really looking forward to trying this out :) 

I have seen a blog post by Loevens Makeup Rambles about this next product and I am so glad she added one to my box as I have bee curious to try it out :) Its the L.A Glazed Lip Paint :) 

Next product is actually a product I haven't tried and order a few shades of it recently I am super excited that I now have another shade to my little collection :) plus its a favourite of Rikke's so I'm even more excited to try them out now :) 

Next up is a new mascara for me :)  This time by Gosh in which I havent tried :)  

When I seen this next product I screeched out loud.  i have always wanted to try something if anything from Sephora.  Sephora is not available here but I have seen so many people rave about Sephora :)  She sent me a holy grail of hers from Sephora :)  I really cant wait to try this out :) 

Rikke sent me another favourite of hers and when I opened it my eyes opened wide wow the shades look stunning Another Gosh product :) :) :) 

Next up is a recent favourite of Rikke's and I know straight away where she heard about this product :) ;)  Correct me if I am wrong Rikke.  Dyna girl you have us both hypnotised by your Videos Girl!!!!  This is One of Dyna's Favourite Concealers and I have recently ordered this myself :)  Rikke sent me a shade I didn't order so I am super excited to try this out for the first time :) 

Another Sephora Product and time time a scent :)  Its one of Rikkes Favourite scents :)  I personally am very fussy when it comes to perfumes but this is actually lovely its mild yet a scent that will linger all day :) 

Oh my goodness Rikke was surely trying to tease me on this next one by writing "Could this be from Sephora?" lol :) I really couldnt open the package fast enough :)  A New Lippy 

Next up is such a sweet thing for Rikke to do She knew that this month is my birthday and she added a little Birthday package along with everything :) Of course my Birthday is not until the end of the month and I just wasnt waiting to see what it was :)  I liked the look of this palette so much i just had to try it out today :)  

Last but not least :) 

Is another lippy this time by Gosh :)  

Rikke also sent me a couple of products that did not work out for her.  She asked me before she sent them to me if I was interested in trying them and of course I said yes.  Such a sweet and loving person Rikke is and I am so glad I got this chance to do a swap with her.  I found it so much fun.  Thank you Rikke I love everything and I am going to have so much fun playing around with my new makeup products :) 

If you all get a chance pop over to Rikkes blog as she does some really great reviews :) :) 

Until Next time and keep an eye out for some new product reviews :)  If you have seen anything here you would like me to review asap let me know :) 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color Lipsticks in Just Peachy, Mauve outta here & Think Pink

Hey Everyone How are you all doing :) 

I bet you are wondering what is in this bag eh?? 

Well its actually items I received from a swap with the lovely Shirley from Superhipmama :)  

I befriended Shirley through the bloggers world and we hit it off straight away.  She is a mum herself but loves everything beauty related she has just started making videos of her own and doing brilliantly with them.  She is also a certified Makeup artist.  So we got chatting one day after i posted up a review with some Catrice Make-up and she really wanted to try it out as Catrice is not available in America.  So we arranged this swap in which I was so happy to do as i had a few items on my wishlist that I cant get over here.  So we agreed to a price and got to work on getting the products.  This was about 3 months ago and now I can finally review all the items for you.  I am going to do separate posts as I dont want the post been too long and they deserve a separate post hehehe :) 

Shirley will be doing a review on the items I sent her too :) 

So the first Items I am going to review Is the Wet N Wild Megalast Lip Color Lipsticks

Oh i Love Wet n Wild Its an amazing brand and i hate the fact that its not available here :(  I love their eyeshadow palettes in which i have reviewed The Trios and the 8 Pan Eyeshadow  Palettes.  

I have had the pleasure of experiencing this lipstick before around the time i first started blogging I did a mini review on the shade and still to this day i love it it was the shade "bare it all" which is a fantastic nude lipstick. 

So i just had to try more shades.  

Lips take center stage! This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E help smooth lips.

Imagine there are 26 different shades to choose from so there is bound to be a shade for every skin tone isnt that amazing and whats more amazing is that these lipsticks cost about $2.99 depending on what store you get them from thats 2.30 euros each BARGAIN!!!!

Lets Start off with the Shades I Got 

This is the one I was most excited about trying as i seen quite a few reviews on it :) 

This shade is bright and cheerful.  Its a warm toned Peachy/Coral shade.  The finish is a Matte finish. 

Next up is.......

Now this shade is perfect for Fall/Autumn I Love it.   This is alot cooler toned than Just Peachy :) Its a stunning Pinky/Purple shade and I found this had more of a satin matte finish.  I love this shade and I found it worked brilliantly with my skin tone :) 

And Lastly......

This one i am afraid is my least favourite out of the 3.  Its a little pale so anyone with a pale complexion might find it a little light.  Its more of a bubblegum pinky shade.  i have found this to be very very pigmented and works better on my when applied lightly it looks stunning.  Another thing i found with this shade is that its quite thick compared to the rest and a little powdery looking as its matte but with a little gloss on top or balm underneath this shade works wonderfully 

I Absolutely love these.  The fact that these are almost matte they are amazing.  They are creamy and very pigment a little goes a long long way with them.  Ok the packaging isnt exactly what you can fantastic but what do you expect for the price its more about the product anyway.  They claim to last 4 hours well its true i found they did last but to be honest i prefer the lip balm before applying rather than wearing them on their own.  If you have dry lips the lipstick will surely emphasis that if you dont moisturise your lips.  

I love the Just peachy and the Mauve outta here.  The Think Pink is a little hard work but worth i at the end of it all.  

If i was to pick out a con for these I would say the packaging will get messy.  The fact that the lipstick is creamy you will find yourself making a little mess while applying to your lips but a little wipe of tissue and its al fixed :) 

All i can say is you got to try them really for the price they are the best Lower price lipstick i have ever tried thats for sure :) 

I will certainly be purchasing some more shades in these for sure :) 

here is swatches of them on my lips pictures taken in natural lighting 

See how i can make Think Pink work for me "ye baby" I love it :) 

So that is it for part 1 of my reviews on my items from my latest swap 

Have you tried these little beauties yet?

What do you think of them :) 

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
