My first UK/Asian Beauty Swap

Hello lovelies! So sorry for the long hiatus, I've been very busy with my uni work and my progress test is coming really soon. This semester is going to be extremely busy till I have to reject attending events and receiving more reviews for my blog! *sob sob*

I met Rebecca R from a beauty group and we decided to do a swap for her birthday on January! We've planned everything since November and I was really excited to go shop for her. Rebecca introduced me a few UK websites and I literally went cray cray shopping for myself.

I've requested a few items and let Rebecca pick everything for me. We did exchange a few message to make sure we have a basic understand about each other's likes and dislikes. The following products are purchased with a £40 budget(appx RM220), can you believe it??

JENG JENG JENG!

I shouted like a mad woman when I spotted a Hello Kitty Eyeliner Set & Mascara.
I don't remember telling Rebecca that I love Hello Kitty :) 

Rimmel London Compact Eyeshadows.
GLAM'EYES HD EYESHADOWS - £6.99 / RM39
GLAM'EYES TRIO EYESHADOW - £6.49 / RM35

Sleek Make Up!
I-DIVINE IN ULTRA MATTE V2 - £7.99 / RM44
BLUSH IN ROSE GOLD - £4.49 / RM25

MUA, another famous local brand :)
12 SHADE STARRY NIGHT PALETTE - £4.00 / RM22

I've picked up some lush products because I've always wanted to try them! We do not have a lush store in Malaysia but we do have on in our neighbor country which is Singapore. Unfortunately, the price difference between UK and Singapore is crazy!

LIP SCRUB IN BUBBLEGUM - £5.50 / RM30 (S$21-RM55)

I know we have Cadbury in Malaysia as well, but the Marvellous Creations is really unique! She gave me some candy and lollipops as well, but I did not capture them :x

Thank you so much to Rebecca for doing this swap with me! I absolutely adore everything in this swap box ♥ I did sent her lots of face sheet masks, Anna Sui, Etude house and a few things that she couldn't get in UK. I love doing swaps and I hope I have more swaps in the future! It is so addictive!
