International Beauty Swaps

Hello my lovely readers,

How are you? I am at home this morning since I am working the afternoon shift and since I was home I managed to go pick up some packages that were waiting for me at the post office. The most exciting of all those packages was my very first international beauty swap with Marie-Nicole, a lovely Canadian girl.
Swaps can be tricky. It is easy to be scammed since you don't know the person you are swapping with. They can also be fun, under the "supervision" of a group of swappers with whom you can share experiences and ideas.
A couple of months ago, I became a member of such a group and arranged my very first swap. We set a budget, we discussed things we liked and/or wanted, we went shopping and then sent each other our packages. She received my package before Christmas and I received her's today. I wanted to share this experience with you guys just in case one of you is interested in arranging an International swap.
I , also wanted to give you a peak at all the wonderful stuff I received in this very first swap....

This is how it came packaged

And this is everything

I have also made a collage with all the pictures I took of all the amazing stuff she got for me....

As you can see there is tons of stuff(including some treats, samples and misc items) that I wouldn't have access to if it wasn't for my swap and that is exactly why I love swaps!!

I am not going to get into everything, of course, because that would take a looong time. However I am planning on doing reviews on several of these items so...stay tuned. Also, if you want to arrange a swap let me know and I can point you in the right direction. ;) ;)
