It’s NOT my birthday yet, but neither Joyce nor myself could wait to post this, so we’re showing our swap a week and one day before our actual birthdays. đ Yes, Joyce of Local Girl Foreign Land and I share a birthday! Â It’s next Tuesday July 11th! đ Â Here’s a glimpse at what Joyce sent:

Remember that for 2 of the past 3 months, I was essentially in makeup jail doing Project Pan! đ
And here we go – starting to chip away at some of the items languishing in my stash waiting to be reviewed!
I’ve had these items in my stash for nearly a year! đł I did take photos of them back in September so I did manage to wear them on the weekends while I was doing Project Pan.
I received this parcel just before Christmas.  It was my second ever makeup swap, this time with the lovely Isabelle from A Girl With Pink Cheeks blog!  We started chatting about doing this swap after my last one – and so, back in July, we formulated the swap guidelines: We buy each other one thing under 10⏠/ $15 CAD each month for 4 months (August to November), and mail out in time for Christmas. We wanted to focus on brands / products not available in our native countries – Isabelle lives in Belgium and I’m in Canada.  I’d indicated that I was most interested in eye shadows, blush, and concealers.  This is what she sent me:
Here’s everything unwrapped:
I’ve been completely spoiled! đ
