Swap with Cookieyuri!

The title explains it all~
This arrived sometime after my final projects had ended (just before graduation) so you can imagine how much of a 'reward' this seemed to be!

I had agreed to do a swap with Cathy (cookieyuri on youtube) who resides in Australia. She is particularly interested in the Asian cosmetic brands here and I'm just curious to get my hands on things we don't have here, hence the swap.

Cathy is slightly new on youtube, but aside from videos she has a beauty blog as well - which I do recommend you check out! She has a really fun personality and it does come across in the vids and posts.

The package that the stuff came in was pretty huge! Here's it compared to a psp casing (nearest thing on hand...)

Cathy did include a good number of things in this package so I thought it would be better idea to showcase them through a video. Hence here's a groupshot first:

I don't attach often embed videos here incase it lags up some people's browsers.

YOUTUBE -- Swap with Cookieyuri!

Thank you so much to Cathy for all the wonderful items! And for fulling my request of the big tube you see in the picture - Lush's Big Shampoo. I'm thinking up some stuff to get to return the favor to Cathy!

Woah, cool swap! The palettes are so pigmented! Are the shades from the Ingot palette (did I get it right?) shimmery or matte? The lime green and yellow are amazing. I got myself the sleek palette in orginal too from Dyan's spree, just waiting for it to get to me. Seen swatches and I love it!

everbluec: Haha yeap it sure was. Funny how coincidental the timing was.

ladeekim: Yeap! The colors from Inglot are varied. There are some matte ones, some shimmer ones and some with a sheen, it's quite pretty! The limegreen has some slight shimmer running through it. Ooh yeap, the Sleek palette was a super nice surprise! Heard so much about it and finally I have it. Though owning one always tempts me to get more. haha.

oh my god. seriously, i was still somewhat tired and sleepy when i watched your video and when i saw your swap video, my eyes grew bigger and bigger! with each item that you showed, i was like, "omg, i can't believe she got that", "what a super nice swapper", " wow, i'm so envious", "that's super nice!", " i love that". seriously! heh, i was laughing when you said, " this is seriously going to blind you", haha, so cute of you! haha, btw, could you help me ask her how much was the shipping fee to singapore? and which/what is the cheapest delivery company? cos i want to ask my friends to ship things to me but it seems like it would cost alot Sad thanks Smiling and congrats on satisfying your lush desires! i think we should totally petition to ask lush to come over to singapore! imagine what fun it would be to work there!
