TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #12

HAULS
SWAP FROM US WITH ERIKA!
One of the best swap ever!!! It wasn't a big swap, just few items, but any single one of them is something very special. Last, but not least, Erika added a lot of yummy and cute extras. The Candies cannot be photographed since they were on my mom stomach  before I could even licking them! She left to me just amazing Hi-Chew candies in banana! XD Other lovely things were so many that I hope to remember all of them in the pics below. ;P Let's go with the polishes as first!
- CQ - RUSTIC DREAM
A duochrome gold/amber that reminds a lot to Sally Hansen - Amber Ruby. I had no hopes to find it, then... I'm very happy for this!
- JESSE'S GIRL - CONFETTI VERSION 1 (OR 2?)
I love polishes with "cute little worms" glitters, but this one, as I've seen on this Chloe's post... Bright blue sky and fuchsia together? No way, wishlist, right now! Just... I sadly discovered this polish wasn't the only one Jesse's Girl - Confetti in the world, more this one was the most hard to find... But Erika found both and sent me as a surprise the lovely couple of beauties!
- JESSE'S GIRL - CONFETTI VERSION 2 (OR 1?)
And this is the other version, the most "famous" one. I wasn't so interested in it, I have to admit that, my love was all for the "cute and little worms" version. But... Ladies... Keep an eye on my blog for the next week, because I've swatched it and it became one of my favorite polish ever!!!
- SONIA KASHUK - FATIGUED
This olive/camouflage/militarygreen polish was a plus at the end of the swap, because Erika saw it on my wishlist, but actually I'm very happy to own it. It's a dupe to another polish of mine, but that polish is completely dried and I need for a replace. Here it is!
- OPI - ABSOLUTELY ALICE
And the first reason of this swap. I read so many enthusiastic reviews about this polish, but I always thought: it's a blue sky glitter with silver shimmer, whatever... No... No no no no... I was so wrong... SO wrong! The blue of this polish is almost impossibile to catch with an unprofessional camera, it's... I can't even describe it: it's like the deepest and the cleanest sea in the world, intense in a crazy way. And shines to any tiny change of light, even few millimeters... I can't wait to swatch it!
- BONNE BELL - LIP SMACKER in WATERMELON
This is one of the extras in my package, and... Oh! This will be my lip balm for life. Watermelon in one on my favorite flavor, and this stick has a delicate but prominent scent that makes me feel instantly well. The taste is also delicious. A+
- WET N WILD - MEGA SHIMMER ILLUMINATING POWDER BRUSH
This is just a tester, but it's enough for me. First of all, it smells of... Biscuits? Cakes? Soooo delicious to sniff, but better don't do it, since I think it's not very healthy sniffing glitters... XD What's this? Actually I'm not sure about it, and maybe it's pretty useless in your life, but whatever, it's damned cute! A really MEGA shimmer powder that goes directly on a brush. I'd never use it on my face, but I guess this could be very nice on your shoulders in the summer nights! *__*
- MAC - FAFI LE 2008 - QUAD #2
Woah!!! How is cute this packaging???? I didn't know this limited edition, and it was a big big big surprise when I've opened everything and found this one. Nothing more to say, too pretty!!!
There were other items, but I guess I put enough pics for this week!
Next Week?
Mmmmh... Can't decide... Kiko sales or GOTbeauty discovery? Or maybe various polishes bought by me and gifted from friends? I'll toss a coin. ;P
