My very first Swap!!! UK Goodies!!!

Check out my box of goodies from Sam  in London, England!!! This was SO FUN! It was my first makeup swap. It was like better than Christmas when I opened this baby up! I was so excited to receive this package in the mail! I just about had a heart attack when I saw a note from the post office in my mailbox! Here is everything that was inside! :)

All the packaging was so dainty and cute as a button compared to ours here in the US.
Here are the things that Sam sent me that were on my list of items.

NOTD Bronze Sweet Goodness!

This is only my second bottle of Color Club polish and I am IN LOVE!! <3  I've been wearing SweetPea now for the past 2 weeks and I can't get enough of this perfect  pinky lavender color! I thought I should add a new twist to it, so I added OPI Pros & Bronze as a top layer. It is so pretty. I'm going to have to experiment with it on top of different colors. I tried it over Sinful colors Mint Apple and didn't like it as much, but I think it will look great on top of a pink color. I did also layer it over Love Is A Racket which is also from the Serena Williams collection. I'll have to post another NOTD with Love Is A Racket, because It's another one of my favorite polishes.
