What's in my #NotSoSecretSantaSwap Box
00:32I am thoroughly chuffed about the items +Leah XL Channel picked for me.
Here is everything I got;

A handy desk tidy which I have already found a use for. I needed another brush holder, so this couldn't have come at a better time. When I saw Leah talk about this on one of her haul vids I was eyeing it up, so I was so pleased when I opened it!

I already love the middle colour; Stellar, so the addition of the Nude Eclipse & Apocaliptic is welcome in my make up case :)
Swatches - From top to bottom; Nude Eclipse, Stellar, Apocaliptic.
I also got a Chocolate Shimmer Bronzer & two eyeshadow palettes; Go Palette & Go to Hell Palette
I haven't had the chance to swatch these yet.

My little bit of sparkle was provided by a lovely little bracelet with little diamante-like stones in the bow

Below are 4 Makeup Revolution Lip Glosses - as below from left to right; (swatches from top to bottom)
"Must be Strong", "Hush Hush", "Baby Try" & "Not Naive"
I LOVE these glosses, they have a distinct fruity scent which takes me back to my school days & smell good enough to eat! They are a lot more pigmented then I had imagined. They have a creamy yet sheer consistency which left my lips feeling moisturised rather than dry like other lip glosses.

Next we have my accessory; a pair of "Kat''' Ears. I love these! How apt! (Excuse the bare-faced selfie - I had to show them off!

Leah was naughty and bought me two high end products; this Elizabeth Arden, Maximum Volum Mascara is fabulous and so thick. This may just replace my current mascara for day to day use!

...and last but by no mean least... my high end item; a gorgeous YSL travel palette. This has a very handy mirror and contains; 4 eyeshadows, two lipsticks & a blush/highlight & 3 applicators. The packaging tops it off - I love the leather covering it is so eyecatching. I hope the colours work for me!
I am so glad that Leah agreed to swap with me. Every product is lovely and I am very grateful that she took the time to pick them. I have found Leah to be a kind and beautiful lady and I am honoured to have shared this experience with her.
My box has just arrived at her house, so I wait in eager anticipation of her unboxing video.
Hope she loves it as much as I loved mine!!
