This is my oh so wonderful swap package from the lovely blogger Michelle from www.eatpaintsniff.glue.com.
As a beauty blogger, I love trying new things but what I love more is trying things I can’t buy in the States.
Yes it’s quite the dilemma! Thankfully this is where Michelle was able to step in and we had a jolly good time swapping.
All the goodies made their way over from Australia and are mainly Australian-based high street/drugstore brands.
This being my 1st contact with Australian cosmetics. I’d have say I’m quite pleased with the pigmentation, quality and overall packaging. Oh I love nice packaging!

BYS Animal Instinct Eyeshadow Quad
I heard from the grapevine that BYS was a very affordable Australian highstreet/drugstore brand and I had to try it out.
Man I really enjoyed using these shadows as they are smooth, pigmented, satin finish and great for a neutral look.
I would highly recommend checking this one out.
Australis Papparazzi Perfect Eyeshadow Quad in Snap Attack
This is the item that started this swap. Randomly, one day while looking for new shadows to try out I stumbled upon Michelle’s blog. I really enjoyed her beauty blog and this little gem immediately caught my eye in one of her favorite posts. It’s great for day look, the shadows are amazingly buttery and smooth!
For all those of you curious to see what I sent over to her from the US, feel free to check her post here.
Anyways, this is quick glimpse of my makeup swap and upon further use I’ll will be providing more detailed posts and information about each item. If there’s a certain item that’s caught your eye please feel free to comment and I’ll expediate the process 🙂
As always it’s wonderful to find a kindred beauty blogger and if there’s any of you interested in international swapping
