@@DonnaD thank you so much for my lovely gift! You are amazing!!! This made my hectic day worthwhile, love it.
You're so welcome,  Thanks for talking me down when I had my freak out over the afghan.

The two of you girls were huge support for me between these two swaps.

 
Let's try this again... So sorry having internet problems

Ok I am at work not able to send pic. I promise when I have decent internet at home or somewhere else where I can connect I will post a pick.

I got my package today and my summer secret santa was @@Dashery ! Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting this so soon and it just made my entire Monday! Everything came all pretty with little notes attached to each surprise.

Everything came in this reusable Batman & Catwoman shopping tote. I TOTALLY SHIP THIS! Especially the Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale version. ALL THE DARK KNIGHT RISES FEELINGS!

I love the card she chose! It's so pretty! I don't think I've ever seen one like it! One of the first items I pulled out was this Too Faced Tan Without The Twinkle set. I love their chocolate bronzer, but the little bitty brush out-cuted the makeup itself. It's so soft and pretty!

Ally made me all of these super cute hair bows! My favorite is the red and white one in the middle. It's one of my favorite things from everything Ally sent me, which is a lot to say because it was all amazing! I think I'll be wearing this bow almost every day!

I receive all of these cute little miniatures, including a miniature JC perfume! I don't have this one yet either, so I'm super excited to add it to my ever growing collection. Also these papier poudre sheets seem amazing, it looks like not only do they blot and remove oil, they leave a light dusting of powder on the face. C'est tres chic!

And one of the most amazing parts was this custom "subscription box" made just for me!

blogger-image--2139525041.jpg


It's Rochelle Goyle themed! /flips the freak out!/

blogger-image-2059453190.jpg


Inside there were so may Rochelle themed goodies from color coordinated makeup to handmade hair bows to eyeshadow samples (from The Checkered Lily, one of my favorite indie companies!). This was so creative and amazing! Top this, ladies!

Ally, thank you so much for everything. I love, love, love it all! It's made me so happy, you don't even know!

OMG! That custom "subscription box" is sooo cool. I love the theme and it looks like some pretty awesome items in it (and in your whole gift!!)

The bows are all kinds of amazing!

Yay, yay, yay! I'm glad you like it! (´ ▽`).。o♡ You have no idea how fun it was to shop for you! I took me forever to pick a theme because I wanted to do all the fandoms!

And I'm glad you love the white and red bow. It's my favorite too!  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
A great first reveal and great gifts!  Beautiful bows and a fun customized box - you put a lot of work into that!  I'm intrigued by the powder papers.

Ally, thank you so much for everything. I love, love, love it all! It's made me so happy, you don't even know!
What a thoughtfully curated gift! It seems to perfectly catered to you. Perfect first reveal!

Thank you!

And the powder paper is pretty cool. I found them hiding at the back of a little Boutique in South Carolina. They come in white and rose, I think. I remember I had something similar in high school. Flirt! sold these weird blush papers that came in this little plastic tube. It was kind of like a roll of tin foil actually! :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anyway, it reminds me of that.

 
@DonnaD was my summer swap buddy and my package arrived today!

First of all, the box is barely closed because it is absolutely jam-packed.

Second, @@DonnaD had crocheted a beautiful market bag! This is absolutely gorgeous, with a touch of whimsy. It even includes a pocket on the back! Every time I use this bag, I'll think of your thoughtfulness!

Third, the box smelled fantastic because it included a bottle of Laundress signature detergent, which I will happily use to wash the market bag. Yup, I'm excited about laundry detergent!   :)

Next, I found a tea cup, saucer, and tea! I drink tea daily and this set is perfect timing because we recently broke one of our mugs.

There were several bath and body products, including shampoo, sponges and a mini brush. I've got to admit that I'm usually running out of the door in the mornings to catch my bus, so that mini brush will come in handy when I don't have time to brush my hair before I leave home.

In addition, @@DonnaD included a Sigma foundation brush that I've been coveting! I recently started wearing makeup daily, so I hope that this brush will help to decrease the time that it takes to apply foundation. 

@@DonnaD also included a beautiful set of OPI nail polishes. My nail polish collection is mostly neutrals, so I'm happy to have colorful shades!

Finally, @@DonnaD included caramel-filled chocolates, a cell phone charm in my favorite color and forget-me-not flower seeds!

@@DonnaD Thank you so much for taking the time to crochet such a beautiful bag and to curate such a well-rounded lifestyle package. I love lifestyle products, so this box was absolute perfection. I am grateful for your creativity, generosity and thoughtfulness!
