I recently took part in a mystery swap with Maria who swaps on beauty box swaps on Facebook. She brought me back all these goodies from her holiday in Hong Kong. I paid £10 including postage. Look also at the very cute little notes about what everything is and how to use them. Love it!
Here is what I got:
4 x assorted paper face masks - the interesting sounding "bird's nest collagen mask" is not available in the UK. Looking forward to trying these out - they look really good.
Under Eye Masks - 2 packs - for hydrating and reducing dark circles. In the pink packet there are 3 pairs and in the foil packet 1 pair. I've used a similar product from Estee Lauder before. Looking forward to trying as I suffer from dark circles.
Face Wash - a hydrating gel cleanser - I can never have enough cleansers, looking forward to trying this one out.
A beautiful eyeshadow palette in gorgeous sparkly shades - sorry my photo doesn't do it justice. Really pretty shades.
Oil Clear Blotting Paper - I always shine in my t-zone so looking forward to trying these out.
Peel Gel - a gentle gel which removes dead skin cells. Maria recommends using once a week. To use, cleanse and then pat skin dry (but not completely dry) apply kidney bean size of gel over the face avoiding eyes and lips and rub in a circular motion. White bits will start to appear - and this is dead skin! eek! Rinse and then apply a moisture/hydrating mask or moisturiser.
The final item is wrapped in orange tissue paper and is a winter warmer the Asian way! It is unrefined black cane sugar with a hint of ginger. Add the whole piece to a mug of hot water, stir and enjoy! Sounds yummy.
I am really pleased with all the contents of the box and all the trouble Maria went to. I'll let you know how I get on with all the products. x
Great mystery makeup swap =)

DeleteBlotting papers! Used to be common as grass, but hard to get now. I wonder if the uptake in mattifying products has caused this. I get a package of them whenever I came find them. Their wonderful for keeping your T zone shine-free.

I know we used to be able to get them here years ago! I love them for shiny t-zone too x
DeleteYou will need to get down to Superdrug - "beauty parlour" make have mattifying sheets in a little pack - half price at the moment round about £1.49 saw them today x
