Description:

This is the third in my series of Indie makeup swaps.ie meaning from a small company like you would find ( but not limited to) on Etsy or Artfire. This time we will be swapping lip balms/lip glosses. You will send one of each to one partner. This is now a likes based swap! Please put your dislikes/likes in the comments. No specific companies and please don't be too specific it's supposed to be fun and a way to try new things!

Good companies for balms and glosses are - Darling Girl Cosmetics, ForGoodnessGrape, Brazen Cosmetics (is amazing!), Evil Shades, Morgana Cryptoria, Ophelia's Apothecary, Lip Love, Pink Dotted Owl, Skin Journey, Morgan Street, The Morbid the Merrier or any of your favorites.

Balms must be untinted but can be any flavor. Glosses (lippies whatever you call them) can be colored, flavored, glittery ect. and can come in a pot or a tube.

Items may be sent directly to your partner from the company you are buying from.

NO Chapstick/Lipsmackers!!! If you are unsure of a company please feel free to PM me, thanks!

NO newbies and MUST have a rating of 4.80! I will be banning people!

Would more people join if this were changed to a likes based swap and just not worry about the Black Friday sales? Let me know!

newyorkglitter 11/21/2011 #

Either way is fine with me, but the sooner I know the better.

bookwyrmm 11/21/2011 #

Well, if we are having the sellers ship straight to our partners, we can't take advantage of black friday sales anyway. And while I can get indie lip balms locally, there are not any local crafters here that make glosses. And I'm allergic to peanut butter and I know there are some peanut butter scented blams - so like based would be nice for me, but I will do either.

ClassActRachael 11/21/2011 #

Okay folks! Editing the sign-up date to the 22nd so you can get your partners before Black Friday and get the deals and still tailor to your partner. The send date is the same for people who need to wait to send. Please put your dislikes/likes in the comments. No specific companies and please don't be too specific it's supposed to be fun and a way to try new things!

I love all foodie things except cinnamon. No floral flavors please. =P And I love color. Exciting and bold colors are fine! =]

bookwyrmm 11/21/2011 #

Anything but peanut/peanut butter for me. Also, I prefer tubes to pots.

ClassActRachael 11/21/2011 #

I like really flavored balm not just scented and the flavors I really hate are Rose or buttered popcorn, yuck! I would also not like something boring like cherry. As for gloss sparkly is good, so is flavored, clear with sparkles or any color except orange please!

ajtsolis 11/21/2011 #

I don't like cinnamon or licorice but anything else is fine. I love all glosses!

mascaramineraljunkie 11/21/2011 #

I also prefer tubes to pots.

newyorkglitter 11/21/2011 #

OK for me on balms I really like both flavored and scented but flavored more. I like foody like vanilla, buttercream, toffee stuff like that. Do not like licorice..yuck! I am not real wild for strong peppermint but light is ok or like with vanilla mixed is ok.

For gloss I don't mind if it is a tube or pot cause I use a lip brush but do not like red on me unless it is a purple based red. I wish I could wear it but look horrible in it. I love the glittery sparkley kind scented and flavored is good for me and flavors like above. I am not into the fruity scented stuff so much though.

newyorkglitter 11/21/2011 #

OK, so the balms still untinted? just want to make sure.

ClassActRachael 11/22/2011 #

Yes, untinted balms.

newyorkglitter 11/22/2011 #

ok cool.

nikkismith 11/22/2011 #

i actually dont have many dislikes for lip gloss i love all kinds and cant wait to do this

Miabiff 11/22/2011 #

I would prefer a tube over a pot because I carry them in my pocket at work but I will use whichever you send =)

newyorkglitter 11/23/2011 #

Since this ia a like/dislike, can everyone put down what they like and dislike? I would hate to send somehting to my partner that they absolutely hate. I know it is a gamble but still would like to have some sort of clue before I buy. Thanks! :)

ClassActRachael 11/24/2011 #

@newyorkglitter - If they don't put anything down it's kind of their fault if they get something they hate. You could always PM them though...

newyorkglitter 11/25/2011 #

@ClassActRachael ok I wasn't sure if you could PM them or not. Didn't know if we were allowed to let them know who their partner was. Thanks! Allison

I prefer tubes to pots. Love flavors like vanilla, almond, orange, rose, lilac, sandalwood. Do not like anything minty (allergic to menthol), cinnamon, lavender. Prefer not to have glitter. Like light tints (I'm blonde and pale skinned)

ClassActRachael 11/30/2011 #

Five days left and NO ONE has sent (except me). Getting stressed, come on guys don't let me down!

Cibosity 11/30/2011 #

I sent my order in on the 28th- just forgot to say that I sent it- sorry.

newyorkglitter 11/30/2011 #

I think the lady I bought from will be sending tomorrow. :)

newyorkglitter 12/ 5/2011 #

Well I got mine today but all I got was a lip balm no lip gloss...weren't we supposed to send both or did I read it wrong?

newyorkglitter 12/ 5/2011 #

Also have no idea how to rate as there is no note inside or anything that tells me who sent me this. This person put a lot into this I can tell. I got a business card from the seller and that was it. Sorry if I am sounding a bit rude or pissed but have to admit I am quite diapointed, after going out of my way to make sure I found something nice with the last $20.00 I had and making sure the women sent a nice note with mine. This just may be my last swap.
