MyLittleHappyBox - MLB Swap from France!

What a lovely surprise I had last week when my MLB from my lovely French counterpart arrived - I had nearly forgotten!!

We had arranged to peek in each others boxes before hand, and also add some extras of our own this time.

I had sent May GlossyBox - and was SO pleased that she didn't get the duffer box!!

In return, I had requested the MLB which I had to wait a wee bit longer for and I am so glad I did!

Here is my box.....!

I love that MLB has a theme each month. This is the My Little 'HAPPY' Box.

The pics show my extras popped on top, but  I'll go into those later.

I LOVE that it come wrapped in a cute bag, and has the ribbon around it. What I didn't like was the amount of confetti I had to pick up as it was EVERYWHERE!! You get some cute little magazines, and explanation cards, all in French of course!

Le Petite Marseillais Spray Soin & Brilliance

(Care Spray and Gloss)

Smells delicious - a simple spray making hair super soft and shiny, and NON greasy which is laaaafly. Approx 4-5 Euros.

Tweezers, which came in various designs, I  like my little burlesque ones though! From Filosofille these are 7.12Euros

Arcanil Starliner Eyeliner in Black. Approx 5 euros, this is well pigmented and lasted all day when I used it. Though, as ever, with a pencil - smudged by the end of the day. Great for touch ups maybe but I shall stick to my Bobbi Brown Gel in the mean time!

Kibio Soft Scrubbing Cream - again smells yum, am yet to try this yet though, other variations of Kibio products where in the box, cleansers and moisturisers, but I like this. and its a good size to try it out. 19Euros full size!

Now, this was a surprise! I have yet to see another MLB with this in it! How interesting! An overnight cream by Biotherm, full size it is about 50 Euros for 50ml, so my 15ml pot is a great size, and great value-for-money item in my box! CHUFFED :D

I love the extras MLB added. This cute phone cover and stamping set where in my box (as well as some delicious Carambar sweets; which failed to make it to photo stage ;) )

The phone cover, which is a nice touch - was a risk though?! What if i just so happened to not have an Iphone4?!?! Good thing I do really...though I have no need for another case...!

And these are my LOVELY extras. Perfume samples, skin care samples. an interesting soap - nail polish, shower gel! Oh so much to play with!!

Have you had a French Box yet?!

MAC Eyes - a little play time

A wonderful lady from the much hyped BBS group sent my little sprogling a box of goodies, full to the brim with beautiful drinking bottles, sweeties, arts and crafts items, a bag, toys, and more!

The beautiful Stacy sent this out of the kindess of her heart, and also tucked away inside a little box of goodies for me!

My face was a picture and I had a wee tear emerge over the kindess that another human being can be so wonderful and generous to another that she has never met. Wowzers doesnt cover it!

Inside my box I had, a revlon lip butter, lipgloss, sweeties (eep yes I ate them!)and other items and a selection of MAC Pigments.

I had been speaking to Stacy for a while about buying some sample pots off her of some colours but funds just wouldnt allow for the amount I wanted - so you can understand my utter elation when I saw these beauts staring at me!!

I love pigments, they are so blendable, and vivid, the possibilities are literally endless with them!

SO many colours to play with!!!

Well, I promised Stacy I'd post each time I used them....so heres my first play with them. The sun was shining and I was in a good mood....so here is what I came up with....!

 

Heres what I used - Golden Yellow in the corner of my eyes, Kelly green over the main part of the lid, Golden Olive over the crease and just a touch of Steel blue in the outer corner.

I also have a thin amount of my uber fave Bobbi Brown Gel liner in black, and my new fave mascara which is the Lancome Hypnose!


So...what do we think!? Im looking forward to having a spare moment to have another play!
