*note: this was written yesterday. I’m currently heading off to write a Chem/Physics final – erk!

I was so eager for my first swap that I ended up in not one, not two, but THREE swaps! The first with the lovely Laurel56, the second with swellgirl, and the last with beachytabbyanne.

A rundown:

Laurel, of Laurel56, is a darling – we’re swapping my (BNIP) VS gloss, that was a swirly one from last Christmas that I didn’t really want or need, for a Clinique lippie (which she used once, with a q-tip). She had to take a buisness trip in the middle of the swap, though, so even though hers is the first swap, I have not received her end yet! She let me know today that it’s coming, though, and I believe her ^^

Elise,or swellgirl, was the second arranged swap. She’s Canadian! Also, she honeymooned in – get this – my city. Small world, eh? I’ve sent her a Revlon cream concealer duo (really, really, REALLY not my colour, so I’m glad some one may be able to put it to good use!) for a felt-tipped liner (I’ve always wanted to try tightlining with those…I’ll review it when it gets here!) I’m not sure if she’s even received my end, though – shipping in Canada takes so damn long!

Lastly, Tabby of beachytabbyanne. I didn’t actually go to her profile page until the swap was arranged – she contacted ME for my second VS gloss, and I just clicked on “see other swap items”. I’m a little uncomfortable with this one just because she looks about ten – but her track record’s great, and she’s sending first, and who am I to say she’s too young for makeup? I’m sure some would say the same of me, right? I’m guessing that her BE Warmth and Estee Lauder blusher will arrive first – I’m pretty sure that she was the first one to post to me.

I’m so excited to start this whole swapping thing! I don’t have much to swap, but the ladies all seem so nice, and it’s really just a lot of fun!

What is it? How does it work? I admit; stuff like that confuses me to no end! I’ll just keep opening my bookmarks folders for now; it’s nice and simple! (Also, I love looking at all the pretty blog pages)

Also, a verbal FOTD. I tried to find my camera, but I can’t! (We all know I don’t do full-on photos, but I would do one side! I love my face today for some reason!)

Base:
EM concealer in Intensive Light
EM foundation in Olive Fair, Intensive
EM foundation in Fairly Light Neutral, Semi-Matte (keeps me grease-free all day in my t-zone!)
Brushes: Eye brush used as a small concealer brush, TBS. Also, TBS blusher brush to buff on foundation.

Other face stuff:
EM blush in Swimming Pool
Mary Kay eyeshadow in Whipped Cocoa
(above two mixed to contour; applied with Quo contour brush. Review on the brush at a later date!)
Revlon lippie in Mulled Wine, used like a multiple or cream blush stick.

Lips and eyes:
A touch of Whipped Cocoa around the eye area for more contour
Good old Vaseline on the lips!

I don’t know why I did that – I never do FOTDs. I’m just having a pretty kind of day – one of my friends curled my hair in Cosmet (we had a free class as our last one, our teacher had us bring food, and let us have fun. Fun = hair!)
