I had received a Layla Cosmetics nail polish in my July Vellvette box and, believe me, it is a seriously virulent, shocking pink. There is no way I'll wear that alone and, having never used Layla before, I wanted to try out the formula.

Last month, the lovely Elle May had asked if I wanted to do a beauty box swap with her. I was apprehensive about the postal services. But I was so excited about it nonetheless.
Elle and I had agreed on a budget of £25 excluding postage, though we did include some gifts in our respective boxes :D We discussed likes, dislikes and allergies and had such fun over quite a few emails. Elle got the box I sent her safe and sound. Her parcel to me arrived on Saturday and I was so thrilled, I almost opened it then and there before realising I needed to take photographs.
