A Swap with Aly

When I had my first order at the Cherry Culture, I never thought of ordering the NYX Round Lippies. Until after I ordered, I've seen a lot of bloggers with their hauls of lovely NYX Round Lippies. I am literally kicking myself for not getting myself any.

Well NIKKI, KICK NO MORE!!!

Well patience has its virtues. And when I say blogging helps you find new friends whom you can open up and talk to about stuffs both of you are passionate about, a very kind hearted friend Alyssa emailed me and asked me if I wanted any NYX Round Lippies. She offered to help me buy some and it turned out to be a swap and a lot more! We chatted over email, I checked on her blog to see what she's into and we decided to do a swap. And may I add, aside from swapping, we talked about anything! We even talked about the differences of our countries and the culture! (I enjoyed it Aly)

I am glad I did!

It didn't take long for me to receive her package, I think less than 2 weeks! Which is unusual for our "turtle" postal office! Anyways, I am starting to love our post office because this is what greeted me early morning! (I took this along with me to the office because I wanted to stare at it while working! LOL)

Here's the package .. Thanks Aly!

And take a peek on what she sent me!
*eeeeekkkkkk!!!!!*

Aside from make-up, me and Alyssa connected because of our love for nail art. And I am so happy to receive the silver and gold polish called Art Deco from LA Colors!!! I also got the Nail art dotting pens in 3 sizes! I have bought one in HK, but it compares NOTHING to what she sent me!

I also got a couple of NYX Round Lippies all in my favorite shade of PINK (as I requested) and a NYX Concealer in a Jar in Beige (I am a bit worried on how to reorder as I am halfway my first NYX Concealer in a jar) I've got my first NYX Concealer in a Jar in Medium and I raved about it here

Here's a view of the Small, Medium, Large Nail Art Dotting Tool
(I call it that way but it is really an embossing pen)

A closer view to the tip
More Nail Arts to come!!! Weeeee!

And here are my favorite lippies!
No wonder people are raving about them!

And here are the swatches
For pink lippies lover like me...
Here's PINK LIPPIES PORN!!!!



A swatch for my NYX Concealer in a Jar in Beige
This suits me well, as this is yellow based!



Here's a comparison between the NYX Concealer in a Jar Medium and Beige Medium has pinkish tone to it and the Beige has yellow tone
(PERFECT! Now I have both)



And What are Lippies for with the Lips?
Sorry for the bad dried lips!
I've done all these swatches all at once...
So wipe, apply, wipe , apply
You get the drift? :P

Thank you Alyssa, I know you took time to search for these goodies!
I knew you had to go back and forth to the shop to check for availability on these
I love them!
Thanks so much for such great time and effort!!!
