FOTN / Anniversary Dinner

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Couple of weeks ago, it was my first wedding anniversary so we went out for dinner to celebrate.

We ate at a Scottish restaurant in the westend of Glasgow, called Bothy; i had salmon with pearl barley, crayfish and lemon risotto and an amazing warm pear and coconut tart... Definitely want to eat this food again!

Btw, I'm wearing Neve Cosmetics Mousse Framboise from yesterday's review... in love with this colour!

 Some friends baptised their baby boy, few weeks ago, so we went to the church and to the party afterwards; I forgot how pretty that dress is - it's from Topshop 2009 and I haven't worn it enough. It's a one shoulder and I teamed it up with this h&m cropped cardi... also from ages ago.

State Side Swap - part 2

... Part 1 here ...

EOS Lip Balm Sphere in Honeysuckle Honeydew
I rank this the second most exciting product of the swap. Again, I read plenty about this lip balm on the web... surely also because of the spheric container. Apart from that, they are 100% natural and 95% organic... and considering the cool packaging and quality ingredients you get, they are actually cheap!
I got to admit that I love to twist the wee ball of product on my lips - you can do both upper and lower lip in one go! ;)
I picked this flavour as it sounds the most interesting - it smells like melon to me :S - still pleasant... and needless to say I WANT THEM ALL!!!

NYX Cream Blush in Glow

From NYX, I decide to try this blush as everybody is saying it's a dupe for Mac Posey (which was on my wish list). I like it very much - it's a cooler toned pink than I, usually, wear but I found it suits my skintone, too.

When I opened it, I thought it looked very similar to Mac Something Special but as you can see - in the picture - Something Special is definitely more coral.

For the product itself, NYX is sticker and gives a more dewy finish, whilst Mac dries matte on the skin.

I like both results, personally!

l: Something special - r: Glow

NYC Ultra Moist Lip Wear in 316 Blossom

 Very bright in the tube but it, actually, mutes down on the lips; very moisturising and comfortable to wear... I can never get tired of rocking fuchsia lips! ;P

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr in 30 Pomegranate Punk
I, finally, got my Pomegranate Punk! I complained before how this colour wasn't released in Uk.
You all must have tried the colour tattoo already, so product-wise is like the one you find in Uk; packaging-wise is completely different and they could be easily two different products. Personally, I prefer the British pot.
This eyeshadow reminds me of Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in Ebloui but the Chanel is more of a rusty colour, while the Maybelline more purple/plum.

Betzy sent me these extra perfumes to try, too.

L'Etrog by Arquiste, especially, is very me! :)

I had never thought about swapping with somebody overseas before because I was worried about custom, but everything went smoothly; it was fast too and we got each other parcels in about a week.

Here is the link to Betzy's Blog again... so you can check out what I sent her!

... I can, definitely, see another swap on the horizon... ;)
