Crystal Cattle Anniversary Beauty Swap

It has been one year since Crystal Cattle hosted her first Beauty Swap, so in celebration, she hosted another one. I always have a lot of fun participating in these, and this time I was actually paired with two partners. My first partner was Sonja Lapak from Michigan, and my second partner was Shannon Steen from Ontario. 

From Sonja I received, Bare Minerals blush in Rarest Rose, Essie nail polish in Jump In My Jumpsuit, a dual blush and eye shadow makeup brush from Bare Minerals. Also from Bare Minerals I received eye shadow in Velvet Charcoal, Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia, Vaseline Lip Therapy in Creme Brulee, and Neutrogena makeup remover clothes. And also who could forget the Dove Chocolate that I also received from Sonja!

From Shannon I received Clean & Clear Facial Cleansing Wipes, Clean & Clear Facial Scrub, Aveeno Skin Strengthening Hand Cream, Rimmel London Stay 3D Lip Gloss, and also some Hot Cocoa with marshmallows and candy canes for the cold winter days. And lastly Hershey Kisses in Candy Cane flavor!

I haven't had a lot of chances to try many of the products yet, but I certainly cannot wait!

I had so much fun getting to know these two ladies. That is always the best part of the Swap is connecting and getting to know others. 

Thank you Crystal Cattle for hosting this Swap, and thank you to Sonja and Shannon for the wonderful beauty products and gifts. 

Fall Beauty Swap

It is fall once again, and that means that it is time for another Beauty Swap from Crystal Cattle. It is always so much fun to participate in this. Who doesn't love to get a package in the mail filled with beauty products picked out just special for you?

This time I was paired with Kacie. Kacie lives in Iowa, works in the meat industry and travels the US helping to improve meat production all while keeping it safe and high in quality. I think her her job is awesome!

The package that I received from Kacie was full of lots of goodies. I received a BolderBand headband (I think it is my favorite!) EOS lip balm, an e.l.f. dual pencil sharpener, Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara, e.l.f. shine eraser, Urban Decay Naked 24/7 double-ended eye pencil, and a big pack of my all time favorite sweet treat! (notice that they are no longer a big pack, but just a couple of individuals remaining)

Overall, I love all of the products that I received, and have used them all except the mascara, as I had just bought some recently and will wait to use my new one until I run out.
Thank you to Crystal of Crystal Cattle and Ashley of Messy Kennedy for hosting this Beauty Swap, I can't wait to participate again next time, and thank you Kacie for all the the great gifts!
