MakeupAlley Swap Haul!

If you're a Beauty Watcher, then you must know all about MakeupAlley. MakeupAlley is your one-stop makeup forum for reviews, creating your own personal shopping logs, sharing your makeup looks and of course makeup swapping! I recently had my FIRST makeup swap with a lovely girl who goes by : hersupernature . She's a lovely makeup swapper and sent extra goodies! If you're ever on MakeupAlley, check out the Swap section and you'll find rare finds of the makeup you've always wanted. 

The best part of swapping is that you don't have to pay for the product only shipping, which ranges from $1.90 - $4.95. Think about it, you're paying a couple of dollars to try higher ended products! It's a win-win. But remember, you have to have the goods, too! You can't expect to to swap a drugstore product for a higher end product. 

For this swap, I swapped my Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer which had at least 50% product left. The lovely swapper fairly allowed me to get 2 products because they were drugstore brands and they were smaller than my Smashbox Primer. She even gave me an extra goodie: the eyeshadow!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Luminous Effects Finishing Creme

This was the first product I requested for and I always wanted this highlighter because of iwanted2c1video . She used this in one of her videos to highlight her cheekbones and nose and I was amazed! 

First Impressions:

Gives a subtle glow, still a little sparkly for me, but I can deal with it, very liquid-y but it dries fast.

 CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation in Medium Light 

My second request was this cream foundation by CoverGirl with Olay ingredients in Medium Light.

First Impressions:

The color is a bit grey-ish pink in tone for me but the coverage: AMAZING! This gives you full coverage without the feeling of heaviness!

Markwins? Eyeshadow

This was the extra goodie that she put it in. Super cute, antique-y gold eyeshadow color.

First Impressions:

Not a color I would usually wear, but it has great pigmentation!

Markwins Eyeshadow, color: unknown.

 

Overall, this was a successful Makeup Swap! Loved everything I got and have had a Positive experience for my first time swap! I hope you delve deeper into the amazing world of Makeup Swapping!

Until Next Time,
