Description:
This is a different type of swap, so please read carefully before joining. I know I'm not the only one who loves make up and beauty products, and that their have been "make up/cosmetic bag fill swaps" before. This swap however is going to be a series swap. So rather then getting one cosmetic bag filled all at one time, you will send/receive the items individually and gradually fill your bag over the course of this series . This gives you freedom to choose what you want in your make up bag, and is easier on shipping. For instance you may not use eyeshadow or lipstick but you use mascara and blush, you would join the part in this series swap for mascara and blush and you wouldn't join the part for eyeshadow or lipstick.Those of you who participate in all parts of the series and send a picture of you filled bag will be in a drawing for a 20$ gift card to your choice of Ultra, Target, or CVS Series #1 Part 1 To start this series off you will send your partner a medium size New makeup/cosmetic bag, can be homemade as long as its nicely made. And for fun a small cosmetic surprise. The small surprise could be anything from lip balm or perfume sample to oil blotting papers, just a small inexpensive surprise to start filling your partners cosmetic bag. The bag isn't profile based but for the surprise make sure to check your partners profile for allergies and possible likes This swap is open to those rated for at least 3 type 3 swaps for package postage swaps sorry ATC's wont count, no recent 1's or unexplained 3's. I WILL be checking profiles and ban those that don't meet the requirements or that I feel I should. Please Note the quick turn around for this series, your given a week to join the swap and a week to send the swap. Don't join if you cant send on time. Please fill free to PM or leave a comment if you have any questions. Coming Soon: Part 2 will be foundations, and powders

This sounds awesome! Can newbies like myself join? :D

@argcaptainjennifer as long as you've completed and been rated for 3 type 3 package swaps (not atc's) then yes, you your not able to join the pt1 yo can always jump in the middle of the swap series once you've completed 3 type 3 swaps

Oh darn! I wanted to enter for the gift card. D: Oh well, I'll defiantly join the rest of the series. Thanks for answering!

I really like this idea. I love participating in make-up swaps, but I have been flaked on in about 1/2 of them. Since these will be piece by piece, hopefully people will feel like they can send and not get scammed out of a high dollar swap.

CoCoLogo 04/28/2011 #

@bookwyrmm that's exactly how I feel, I'm always too afraid to enter the big make up swaps but want the filled bag experience without worrying about getting flaked on. I'm serious about looking though profiles to make sure to weed out any one not meeting the requirements. I lve already sent a pm to someone asking them to drop before I have to ban them (cause banning you cant unban)

..love this swap - but cannot join as it is not international - a shame

Ryleighsmom 04/29/2011 #

rabu, make your own international swap like this. Not everyone can afford international swaps, so regional swaps are important.

I'm considering joining, but what would be considered a 'medium' sized bag?

CoCoLogo 05/ 1/2011 #

@catnipitis Just your average size cosmetic bag no smaller the 8.5'' x 4.5'' x 2.75 you want to be able to fit or maybe even stuff your makeup and cosmetic supplies in it when the swap series is complete.

ok...thanks! I'm in

I would love this. I am a makeup lover.

AngelikFiona 05/ 5/2011 #

I would love a pastel pink one or one with Japanese themes. I also like Hello Kitty & other Sanrio characters. For the surprise, I would love some scented lotion, body spray, or scented bath product.

@AngelikFiona I do believerong, this is more of a senders choice swap. Please correct me if I am wrong.
