So I got home after quite a long day yesterday to see a package on my porch. I immediately knew it had to be from this exchange so I raced downstairs to open it. Upon opening it, I see the cutest envelope and inscription! I opened it to read a heartfelt note inside a gorgeous card from my gifter and knew this exchange had to be different fro past unsuccessful exchanges!I take the tissue paper out to see a bag from Ulta filled with goodies and then two other items wrapped in tissue paper on their own! AH! I got to the Ulta bag first. There were little bits of writing on some of them and I thought it was really sweet and heartfelt :) I opened the first one to find not one but TWO Essie Base and Top coats that I have been dreaming of!! That alone would have been enough to make me a happy girl but I moved on to the next one. The words on the outside said it was a mascara but I opened it to see one from Benefit!! I am a Benefit girl through and through and this mascara is amazing! At this point I am blushing and overwhelmed. I get to a third package in the Ulta bag and I open that to find two more Essie polishes! This time in beautiful colors that will be going on my nails when I do them tonight! Sitting on my bed stunned at this point that someone put this much thought and care into a gift for a stranger, I moved on to the other two items wrapped in tissue paper. I open one, its a 6 piece brush set from Eco Tools! The 6th piece was a beautiful clutch that holds what I think are the softest brushes I have ever touched in my life! I think at that point that it couldn't get any crazier when I open the last package to reveal a gift set from Tarte with a full size blush inside!! I LOVE the Maracuja line but have never gotten to use any of the products inside this set so this was absolutely amazing to me!

If I could hug my gifter and twirl her in circles in slow motion like a movie, I totally would. She went far and beyond in this exchange and for that I will be forever grateful! Thank you so very much
