Pretty Little Beauty Swap Reveal

It’s time for the Pretty Little Beauty Swap Reveal!! I’m so stinkin’ excited. This go round I was partnered with Chelsee from Southern Beauty Guide, one of the hosts of the Pretty Little Beauty Swap. I’ve actually received gifts from Chelsee in the past, she was my giver for a Secret Santa in a group that we’re in together, so I will let you know that I was a little scared at first to be coming up with things for someone, who in the past, has been very generous. Let me tell you she was just as generous for the Pretty Little Beauty Swap as she was for the Secret Santa, but before we get into what she got me, head on over to see what I got her here.

Hair Product

Pretty Little Beauty Swap Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel

One of the products that Chelsee sent me was a rather large sample of Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel. I’ve never heard of this product and I’m super excited to give it a try!

BB Creams

Pretty Little Beauty Swap Rimmel BB Cream and Revlon BB Cream

If you’ve read my 10 Best Rimmel Products and my Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation then you know that I love me some Rimmel products. When I saw the Rimmel BB Cream in the bag I got so excited! As for the Revlon BB Cream, I’ve seen it in stores and have been super tempted to try it out but never actually purchased it so I was excited to see that as well.

Eyeliner

Pretty Little Beauty Swap Eyeliner

When I first pulled this out of the bag I didn’t know exactly what it was. When I realized it was a glitter eyeliner I was apprehensive. Then I swatched it on my hand and WHOA is it gorgeous. I’ll be doing a full review of this on the site after I wear it a time or two to see how it wears and lasts. As of now though, I’m loving it!

Lippie

Pretty Little Beauty Swap OCC Lip Tars and Maybelline Lipstick

I have to say that Chelsee did her homework on this one. Anyone who knows me knows that I love my lippies so finding OCC After Dark Test Tubes and a Maybelline Lipstick in Totally Toffee. I’ve swatched the Maybelline lipstick but not the OCC Lip Tars, those are coming to a blog post soon!

Nail Polish

Pretty Little Beauty Swap Essie Nail Polish

Does Chelsee know me or does she know me? An Essie Nail Polish in Hors d’oeuvres? Don’t mind if I do. I can’t wait to try this out and have swatches on the blog for you.

Pretty Little Beauty Swap Contents

So that is everything that I got from Chelsee in the Pretty Little Beauty Swap. Make sure to head over to her site and give her some love.

About Cassie

I started Southeast by Midwest back in 2012 as a lifestyle blog. After a few months I felt a pull towards beauty so I rebranded as a beauty specific blog. Over the years I've grown my knowledge and love of beauty products to the point that I am currently in Cosmetology school.

    There are some really cool items there. One thing I like about getting gifts from my girlfriends is getting something new to try that I may have never heard of. They may or may not replace my favorites but I’m always up for trying new things and if they are gifts I get to try them for free. Thank you for sharing.

    How fun is this?? 🙂 Jealous of all the goodies you got too! I have to say that I use the Revlon Photoready foundation, but I had no idea that they made a BB cream in it! Definitely looking for that the next time I have to buy a foundation.

    Oh girl I am so glad you love them! The lip tars are so pigmented that the test tubes are the way to go in my opinion! I looked and looked through your blog to get you these things and I am so glad you like them! I am so excited that I was paired with you and really loved everything you sent me! Thanks for participating!
