I got this wonderful package about ten days ago but have been so busy with work and life. Gotta love new projects and working late.

I've been so lucky these past exchanges. My SS PM'd me and we had been exchanging messages though most consisted of me squawking about how cheap makeup is at Sephora in comparison with Australian prices and linking multiple suggestions. America seems to be makeup heaven. It was lovely being able to talk about something girly like makeup and it was like having an anonymous friend. She's getting married soon and is going to have Harry Potter themed wedding and was lovely seeing what dress she was going to wear and the venue. Anybody who has a Harry Potter themed wedding is awesome in my books so I knew I was going to get something good but she rather surpassed my expectations.

I was craving American chewing gum and ours is rather limited. Two of my previous SS had given me some and I've developed an addiction. And she sent some, damn, mindreader. I've already gone through a packet. And as she said that she had lived in New Orleans, I mentioned casually that I liked what Creole food I had tried. She sent me Creole seasoning! I love different seasonings.

I noticed that Sephora was having a promotion on Chloe perfume and suggested that she try it. I really wasn't hinting and did mean it for her but she sent it. It smells wonderful. And the perfume cards she added have been making my apartment smell wonderful.

I've been needing a red lipstick and she gave me a red from this brand called 'Hourglass'. I've heard good things about this brand from /r/makeupaddiction and have been wanting to try this.

I hadn't heard of the brand 'Bite Beauty' and am yet to try the lipstick. It's bright pink and smells so yummy. Adult lipsticks don't usually taste nice so it's like a lipstick with a lipgloss smell.

I've been needing a palette and she sent me this sleek Sephora palette. Perfect for me to practise with. Today I managed to wear dark eyeshadow without looking like I've been punched so quite proud of myself. They're neutral colours which is perfect as I'm not particularly adventurous with my makeup.

Thank you so much my dear SS. You're going to make me look pretty, smell nice, and make my breath smell great. I can't believe how much you seem to know me and how you took into account some of my casual comments. And good luck for the wedding!
