What I Got In My Christmas Box Swap


A few months ago I took part in Clare from The Love Of All Things Beauty’s Christmas box swap, and I was lucky enough to be paired with Clare herself! I’ve know Clare since my early days of blogging so I was really pleased to swap with her. I’ve taken part in a few box swaps in the past, and it’s always great fun to see what other people pick out for you. We agreed a spending limit and a day to send out our boxes, and I was super excited to see mine arrive just before Christmas.

I almost tore open my box when it arrived, I was so excited to see what Clare sent me. Inside was a book called ‘Cat Selfies’, which is full of hilarious photos of cats, a Natural Collection brown eyeshadow, and a No.7 cracker which had a mascara and eyeliner in. I’ve tried a handful of products from No.7 and Natural Collection before, but none of these so I’m pretty excited to try these out.

I’m glad I got paired with Claire, and I’m really happy with all of my presents! I can tell Clare knows me pretty well, especially with the Cat Selfies book, its given me endless amusement. Once again this was a great box swap, and I’m glad I took part! Have you done a box swap before?

You can see what I sent to Clare on her post here.

    This is Marley. He used to live in a cat shelter, because one day his owner decided to move house and leave him and several other cats behind. Luckily for Marley, his neighbour had realised this and arranged for local shelters to try and find homes for Marley and his furry friends. This is where…

    Come the colder months I basically live in jeans and boots, in fact I have several pairs of boots that I break out at this time of year. Despite having a shoe shops worth of boots, I’m always looking out for a new pair, and that’s when this pair of Chelsea Boots caught my eye….
