Swap Time: Canadien Addiction.

Happy Monday ladies! I was ready for this day to fly by so I could get home and veg out! I was unfortunate to have been in a seriously mosquito invested area on Saturday when we went rowing and needless to say, I am now very itchy! I took some Benadryl to help but it made me completely groggy and practically unconscious. Now that I have returned to the land of the lucid, I thought I would share with you a totally awesome swap I did with the very talented and gorgeous Arianne of Glitter Geek (a wicked Canadian Canadien beauty blogger).

Swap-tastic!

All I can say is that Arianne has EXCELLENT taste. I loved everything at first sight…

Joe Fresh Cream Blush in Melon

This color is so me. It has me written all over it…(you see it too, right? The invisible letters there on the bottom… ;) )

This has already been getting plenty of use. Don’t believe me (gasp!) check out the post I did last week here. This was the only product I used as blush and lipstick last week. It’s most definitely a hit with me.

Joe Fresh Cream Blush in Bloom

Equally gorgeous is another Joe Fresh product….the cream blush in the shade Bloom. I was so happy to see that she picked out a shade like this. It’s gorgeous, wearable and I don’t have another cream blush like it.

Swatches L-R: Melon, Bloom, Annabelle lipgloss in So Sanguine, Annabelle Smudge liner in Armour

And I can’t forget the totally amaze-balls Annabelle products she sent me. After seeing So Sanguine on her I knew I had to have it for myself. It’s a lovely gloss and not sticky at all! Swoooooon! And the liner. Perfect as a liner or as a base it has a great texture. I am also smitten with the shade. Again, she managed to find something I don’t quite have anything like yet!

Lipstick Lovin'

 

Swatches L-R: Rouge Xpression in 802 Delight, MAC Neon Orange, Joe Fresh Matte Fuchsia

Could you deny ANY of these shades?! The Rouge Xpression has a great silky texture to it and has a glossiness built in. I want more of these!! I had asked for Joe Fresh Matte lipstick in Fuchsia, again after seeing it on her blog (here). She totally surprised me with MAC’s Neon Orange! Wow! What a stunning shade! So glad to own it and have paired So Sanguine over it for a glossy, bold orange lip.

You will see the Joe Fresh Nail polish in another post coming soon, but it too is an excellent shade.

I am so super happy with our swap and can’t wait until the next time another Canadian blogger wants to swap with me! :D

    Just give me a shout whenever you need any Canadian goodies! ;) All the colours look fabulous on your skin tone.

    Like everyone’s said, Melon is gorgeous! Looks great in your prior FOTD as well :) funnily enough I was in Canada this weekend, but only picked up a few things – Beaute Liqui-Gel Stains, Marcelle’s Face Powder and Cleansing Milk, and a little blush/eyeshadow palette from some random brand that looked kinda cute! Am loving them all so far – Canadian cosmetics seem to be so good!

    Those are some great picks she sent you, I’m jealous! Absolutely love the bright colours in the melon blush and lipsticks, perfect for summer.
