When I posted a review of
Maybelline the falsies mascara, Rachel (
*la bella vita ♥) commented saying that she really wanted to try it but it wasn't readily available in Canada. I offered to send her one and we decided to do an international swap.

She actually posted these last month but as I was moving flats I asked her to send them to my home address, and I wasn't able to get them until now:
I chose to try some body lotions from Bath and body works, as well as the NYX cream blusher and lipgloss.

Unfortunately she couldn't find the lipgloss I wanted so she brought me a shimmery pink lipstick instead.

She was also super generous and included a lipliner in Rose and jumbo eyeshadow pencils in Yogurt and Milk as well as a cute cupcake card!

A big thank you to Rachel for sending me everything, the body lotions smell amazing and I can't wait to try out all the make up!
Have you ever done a make up swap? What are your favourite products from abroad?
I've never done a swap, but I'd love to try some Japanese brands products and clothing
