Can I just say that Kimmi from The Plastic Diaries is some kind of post-human organising machine? When the idea for a Sydney Beauty Blogger yum cha was originally floated, I envisaged, y’know, dumplings and beauty chat. Psht, I aim low.
Instead I got dumplings, beauty chat, far too many compliments on my weight loss (aww shucks!) and the most masterful display of blogger-wrangling I’ve ever seen a poor sad waif with the flu ever manage.
She even organised name tags. Name tags! The height of organisation! I made all sorts of impressed noises, slapped on my name tag and then immediately lost it under the table. Le sigh.
Me being impressed by other people’s abilities to be infinitely more together than I am aside, this post is honestly just an excuse to show you my new favourite before and after pictures:
On your marks, get ready…
Beauty Swap – before
…as Miss Chew goes in for the kill – if I ever did the Boxing Day sales, I’m taking this lady to run point…
Beauty Swap – after
…dang. You girls are quick!

I will absolutely be there. I couldn’t miss an opp to meet those geniuses. I am just consuming a large number of drugs in hope I will heal quicker. That should do it!

Whoa, that’s impressive! How did everyone know how much stuff to take? Was it one for one?

We’re all well mannered sorts – give what you want, take what you want. I took it as an opportunity to dump a bunch of brand new MAC and NARS I had sitting around taking up space and wasn’t intending on getting anything at all, but I was… gently convinced to take a couple of nail polishes.

Yes, I can’t imagine there was much pushing or shoving :-P You’re very good, but I’m glad you got to take home something!
