Beast And Beauty Easter Swap!

I previously showed you all the wonderful Valentines Day gift I got as part of the The Beast & Beauty Valentine’s Beauty Blog Swap. My wonderful blogger FINALLY received her package from me (THREE MONTHS AFTER I SHIPPED IT!!) and you can see her reveal here. Anyways,  the lovely blogger behind Beast & Beauty's blog tried to start up an Easter swap and it didn't really work out. So we decided to swap packages ourselves! I feel awful it has taken so long to reveal it (I got it 2 weeks ago!) but didn't want to open it until I had time to properly enjoy it and take joy in opening it and of course photograph it for all of you guys! I opened it on Friday and WOW!! You can read her blog here!

I thought I would let Mystique herself introduce each item she sent me and why, and have thus photographed the lovely letter she included with the package!!

I actually bought one of these a few months back that was gorgeous. It was a neutral bordering on pink colour with gorgeous black lace pattern on it. I was in LOVE for the first three hours and then 2 of the nails just FELL off. So I am really excited to try these again (they were SUPER EASY to apply) and see if the first set was just maybe a dud!

A MASSIVE thank you to Mystique! I love everything (well, ok.... the lips kinda scare me.... LOL) and some of these are things I would not have ever chosen on my own (and would have missed out on!) and others are things I totally WOULD have purchased for myself had they been available here!!!

Its Australian Day In The Polish Jinx's House!!!

I showed you all awhile back the wonderful swap package I received from the lovely Amy from Beauty In A Bottle as part of the international Valentines Day Blogger Swap. I wanted to share the lovely swatches with you. All three have a nice even formula, though the Natio one was slightly patchy in the first coat. It did however even out well in the second coat. For the Natio one I would say you need three coats, the other two you need two coats. 

First up is this lovely coral colour. One thing that I can say about ALL three of these is Australians sure seem to like thin long brushes! None of the three are hard to work with, but they are all very thin. They are sturdy enough that they are not problematic. But they are thin! No thick brushes to be found here!!

This purple I was worried would be too Vampy and too dark for me, but its surprisingly easy to wear. It was the trickiest of the three formula wise but still not bad at all.

And this one is my FAVOURITE of the bunch. This is a gorgeous stunning green with INSANE gold shimmer in it. I have nothing even close to similar in my stash and really really love it.
