Secret Beauty Junkies Admin swap with Wendy

My swap box from Wendy



I got my box from the gorgeous lady Wendy.
-
This was a swap .

I sent Wendy a voucher a couple of months ago to cheer her up . She said she would send me a box, I thought I was receiving an eyeshadow palette but instead this arrived.



As you can see there are so many lovely things . I was so excited .

In the scent section we have 


The Scentini smells fab and I love how the perfume separates in the bottles making it look fun , Far away is a classic and I have always been a fan .

Next up we have body creams and wash


Oh wow , body shop body butters are amazing and the strawberry delight actually smells like Angel delight mmm yummy .

Because Wendy knows I love nail polishes here's what she sent me .


Fabulous , Wendy knew how much I needed a yellow and I have already put the Wet and wild fast dry on my nails because the hubby fell in love with the colour.

Next we have the eyeliners, mascaras , eye bling.


Ok you got me, I could not resist putting the lashes that came with this set straight on wow I love the Ruby and Millie eye collection set . The No7 gold eyeliner is amazing and that mascara is fabulous for my none existing lashes.


So remember when Ii said Wendy was sending me  a couple of palettes well lets just say she spoilt me.



Look at those ELF and MUA palettes woo hoo , plenty of colour to play with now .












I absolutely love the Avon palettes , gorgeous colours , in the perfect shades. 
Can anyone spot the MAC ,  woo hoo my first MAC product, thank you Wendy.







For the face products I received this amazing lot.


Oh wow , No7 BB , its amazing thank you, and arghhh more MAC, I have already used the MAC blush and the elf enhancer pen and I love them both .


So as you can see , I got more than I thought, considering I was only meant to be getting a palette or two I have been spoilt , an amazing lady with a heart of gold . Thank you so much Wendy , I am going to have so much fun with these beauties you cheeky minx .

Avon Pro wear nail polish in Mandarin Magic

Hello you gorgeous ladies, I hope you are all well?
I have had a crazy week with try to train our hyper Ruby and keep my 4 year old entertained at the same time lol. That is some serious fun lol
Anyway, back to the gorgeous Avon mandarin nail polish. It is on offer are the moment for £3 and you can buy it from Avon here.http://avonshop.co.uk/product/make-up/nails/nailwear-pro-nail-enamel.html
I must admit, it is a beautiful shade and i want to lick it. Sad? Maybe but I dont really care, it is very yummy. Its a beautiful orange shade and has small glittery pieces in it but it just adds that little bit of extra va va voom.

sorry about the dodginess of the nails and application xx
I have had it on for the past 2 days and nights and has only just started to chip but i think that might have something to do with the Nails inc caviar top coat i have on top more than the nail polish. I do love this polish, it is a dream to apply, is opaque and dries extremely quickly. Which is fantastic for me as I actually hate doing my nails because it takes so long to dry.
Would I buy this again? Maybe not but it doesnt stop it being a lovely polish. Would i recommend it to friends & family? Not really only because it has only lasted 2 days and I want my polishes to last more than 2 days.
I hope you enjoyed this review and I will see you in the next post
