Beauty Samples Swap, Blog And Review - UPDATED

I know in the blogosphere, swapping activities are quite common. I have done 1 or 2 swaps with fellow bloggers based on mutual agreements.

And when my dear friend, Miu, proposed to organize a SWAP in her blog, I was excited and jumped at the chance of not only being able to get to know other bloggers, but also to share and get the chance to try out samples of beauty products from other brands which I may or may not have tried out.

Here are the 5 bloggers participating in the inaugural SWAP by Miu, of Plus Size Kitten:

  1. Miu from Plus Size Kitten
  2. ME, Vonvon from Vonvon's Interests
  3. Mei Wah from Blog Indulgence!
  4. Chris from Confessions Of A Shopacholic
  5. Hanna from Life's little randomness


UPDATE 1 (4:46PM ON 24 JUNE 2009)

And I have packed and posted out the samples with the help of my little girl who insisted on helping me do the packing, hence, girls, you can see the cellophane tape may not be taped properly, etc.

As of now, girls, you should be receiving the samples I have sent out on Monday. Do leave a comment here to let me know when you have received them or in my chatbox. Thanks! ;)

Before packing, just sorting out the samples


After packing with the help of my little girl who did most of the packing. ;))



And yesterday, I have received the samples from 2 of the blogger-swappers, Hanna and Chris L.
Thank you, dearies! Almost all the samples I received yesterday were from brands that I have not tried out - makes me excited to try them out!

The top envelope is from Hanna.
The bottom envelope from Chris L.




FROM HANNA

She sent me 3 samples because she said all 3 were very tiny.
Awww!! That's so sweet of you, Hanna!
I haven't tried out Chanel and Origins before. :))


And a little note from Hanna.



FROM CHRIS L.

I can see that Chris likes PINK so much, just as pink is my favorite color too!
Thanks, Chris!


Samples from Chris L.
(L) Impress Creamy Soap, which according to Chris is from the higher range of Kanebo - me likey!
(R) Eyeko Face Off Cleansing Wipes - haven't tried anythinig from Eyeko before!




UPDATE 2 (12:10AM ON 3 JULY 2009)

I have received all 8 samples, actually more than 8 because I got 3 samples each from Hanna, Miu and Mei-Wah. Thanks so much, dearies. And thanks Chris.

Miu had passed me some RMK samples in a RMK booklet last Saturday. And I received Mei-Wah's samples on Tuesday. Pix of samples from Miu and Mei-Wah will be uploaded soon.

OK, as of the time of this update, I have tried out the Eyeko Face-Off Cleansing Wipes from Chris. And Chris has tried out and reviewed the samples I sent to her.

Hi Von, I'm glad that you like the samples I sent you. Phew I was initially worried that you might not be pleased with the sizes of them. I dont really have many samples to be honest. ;P

Oh dear Hanna,

It's a sample swap only. I'd be happy with any 2. You didn't have to worry so much dear. :)

Glad you received the samples.
