Surprise (AMAZING) Swap!

Hi All, hope you are all having a good weekend.  I'm having a great weekend, got lots of blog posts to do but I'm starting with the most amazing secret swap box that I received today from the lovely Nardine over at lipsticknhandbags.

As you know I am part of the beauty box swapping group over on Facebook, every month or so Nardine and I send each other a box full of surprises that we think the other person will like.  We started off with glossyboxes filled with goodies but last month ended up with big cardboard boxes full of stuff and well this month Nardine has truly outdone herself, I am truly amazed, overwhelmed and touched by how much thought and effort she puts into getting together goodies that she knews I will love. I must apologise for the awful photos - the light is bad, my camera is rubbish - I really need to save for a new one.

So first up I opened the huge cardboard box to find these fantastic goodies for my doggie Henry, hes a naughty dalmatian and I am going to take the book to work and read it in my lunch times.  She has also sent him a harness which is brilliant as he is a very strong doggie.



Henry says "woof, thanks for the treats, woof!" 


She also packed these goodies into the main box;


Full size shampoo and conditioner, great for my coloured brunette hair


I had no idea what this plastic shaker was when I opened that box, but its a facemask! How cool! Can't wait to try it :)


Body wash and lotion, cherry blossom, peach and white jasmine scented, they smell gorgeous.


Wowzers! Cannot wait to have a play with this.


I'm off on my hols soon and these will be coming with me


This book will be coming too :)



 Next in the box was this bag from River Island - I love it!
Will be using this from tomorrow morning.  She filled the bag with the following goodies!



Naughty Nardine! My WW leader will not be pleased with you, I however am pleased! There was another egg but sadly it never made the photo......


Necklace and lipgloss


Hairclips and bracelets


Bottle stopper - how pretty!


Booklight - this is so handy, I read in bed all the time so now I don't have to annoy hubby with the side lamp!


A black clutch/purse with white feather detail - she knows I love bird print and I love this!



And as if that wasn't enough!! A glossybox decorated with 3d doggie stickers!!



Look theres Henry!
  
Shampoo, Conditioner and Volume Mousse - great sizes for my hols.

Perfume

I'm a sucker for lip balms, I keep them on my desk in work and use them throughout the day.  Can't wait to try these two.


Bath salts, smell lovely.


ELF Blusher in tickled pink


Ojon hair serum


Andrea Fulerton nail polish


Versace perfume

Urban Decay tinted moisturiser

Love this lip crayon! Bright pink, been wearing it this afternoon :)


MAC Eyeshadow mousse, the colour is perfect for me

My first Kleancolour nail polish!
Will be painting my nails this colour tomorrow!



A lovely card and a lovely keepsake


Right back at ya Nardine!


I honestly am overwhelmed by this amazing box, I will use every single thing thats in it! There is one thing I'm not happy about though..............this has ruined it for every single beauty box I'm subscribed to! They could never in a million years beat this box!! ;)

I just want to say a huge thank you to my friend Nardine and I hope you love the box I am sending to you, even if its half as much as I love this box I know I'll have done a good job :)
