I love reddit gift exchanges. They always seem to come through when you are feeling a bit wilted from life. It seems that we need some sort of name for this phenomenon... Snoo's Theory of Karmic Upliftance? Just a thought ;D

I got home from grocery shopping, dreading going inside to be confronted with piles of bags and boxes needing attention (I am moving next week). And, as per Snoo's Theory of Karmic Upliftance, there was a small rectangular package waiting for me at the front door!

I opened the packaged, and saw a Coach box. It was a bit dented, and I knew that people use their old merch boxes for gift giving, so I didn't think anything of it. I opened the box.

Inside was a bunch of tissue paper and a note. The note was a pleasure to read, it made me feel full of what my Grade 3 teacher called 'warm fuzzies'. Smiling, I reached for the tissue paper. There was something very pink at the bottom of that box....

It was an amazing (and soft!)fuchsia Coach makeup bag, with a NYX lipstick in 'Louisiana' and a NYX jumbo eye pencil in 'Purple'. (Makeup usually has descriptive names, like paint does, but never have I seen a colour that was more 'Purple' than this eye pencil. It is PURPLE.)

Instantly I run giggling to my mirror and daintily apply Louisiana on my lips. This colour makes me look almost as sassy as I feel! I would've gone straight for the Purple-splosion too, but I fear with my purple shirt today, it may just blow too many minds ;3

Dear Makeup Match: Thank you. I don't know if you will ever understand how much I needed a perk up, but believe me, this was just the ticket I needed to get back to reality. The bag is beautiful, and if you can imagine me stroking it lovingly, that is precisely what I am doing :D

Yay makeup exchange! YAY REDDIT!
