Goodies!

By icyabstract · April 12, 2009 · 8 Comments ·

Awhile ago I had received a package from a beloved friend of mine, Kristy (kristy227 on youtube).
Kristy resides in the states and we engaged in a little swap where she'll send me some stuff exclusive to the US and I'll send her some stuff exlusive to Asia/Singapore. Of course do note that when I say exclusive I don't mean that you totally can't find it here but more of you have to go to great lengths to be able to purchase it.

The package came in my mail a few weeks ago and I was sooo flipping excited when I saw it sitting on the bar counter (where we usually put the mail and stuff in my house).
The minute I saw it I whisked it up and ran into my room with it. How epic, but true.

I did a video showing my initial reaction in opening the package and all and might I warn you that I was absolutely hysterical in that video. It's honestly painful to watch, for me at least, as I felt this strong urge to knock sense into myself and tell myself to stop being so jittery. Sadly what's done has been done, and I guess it shows you guys a different side of me... ha!

To watch the video, click on the link below:
See video: Goodies! (:

For those who wish to see pictures of the products, keep scrolling. For those who haven't watched the video and want to be surprised with the items, don't scroll down as there are spoilers. Lol!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the total of what I had received from Kristy

Now for some close-ups


Wet N Wild Blushes, Bronzers and a foundation powder (top left)


L-R: Icing cream shadow pencil and eyeshadows


Jesse's Girl shadows. These were from some Studio/Art collection thing. I don't remember the names now.


Maybelline Studio Blushes


Maybelline Studio Eyeshadow Trio


L-R: Jane Eye-zing in Clubbing, ELF Shielding Hydro-tint, Some eyeliner/cream shadow I forgot the name of.


L-R: L'ancome Juicy Tube and L'ance Fatale Mascara


L-R: Maybelline lipstick, L'oreal Endless Kissable ShineWear

So that's basically everything that Kristy had given me.
Ain't it all so awesome and pretty and I definitely felt like a total noob when I opened the package of it all and looked at the products.

Alright so before I leave you guys, I'm fairly sure I might get some questions regarding doing swaps and such but I would have to say that I am not exactly accepting any swaps as of now. I decided to swap with Kristy because it's kind of fun and definitely something new for me, however through this I have learnt that swaps are indeed fairly time consuming and above it all, let's be honest. We all know how much anything/everything here in Singapore costs as opposed to the states so it's just difficult to be able to give the same amount of products back without using my whole month's allowance up. I don't know if that might come across mean but that's just what I think. It is fun and I would engage in it in future for the fun of it, once in awhile perhaps, but just not on a daily.

With that said, thanks for reading!

hi! im cloe 16 on twitter......at someones house (my dad) and i cant get wi fi on my itouch! grrrr! so i came to ur blog for the first time for closeups...and i love it. she gave u some awesome products. i really wish i knew u better so i could send you some N.Y.C. products. i know how u want some of them, and i really truly don't care if u send me anything at all. It would only b an N.YC. care-package kind of thing. maybe it can happen in the future. and cute vid. i dont mind u being that hyper. i would be 2, and it shows how u act your true self. Smiling

Anonymous: Haha yeap she sure is. Nope we didn't agree on anything actually. Just a general swap with stuff I can't quite get and stuff she can't quite get. The budget is up to the individual (: Haha you should! I would, thanks!

cloe16: Hey girl! (: Aw that's so sweet of ya. Haha I love these initial reaction videos to be honest but I do fear people'll think I'm a nutcase. But hell, it's all true and that's how I behave and I think that really says it all. haha.

Wow! but yeah it'll be hard to match in terms of price cause stuff here's kinda more expensive. Omg, i totally wouldn't be able to start using the studio art ones. so pretty!

zandre: Yeap so true. I know they so are. I did try to use the retro looking one and now there's like a smear in the middle of it. How sad. I'm definitely not touching the other two if I can help it. Lol! I know it totally defeats the purpose of owning it but oh well.

retail_therapy: Aw but you've got cousins and family members who travel often to buy ya stuff from many places too! Thanks (:
