Surprise Chapstick/Lip balm Swap

You read my mind :) I was thinking of starting the same thing.

Hehe! :)

is this a usa only swap?

i see it is an international swap...

Yep sure is international and I don't live in the USA.

great idea! i like this swap. I like Lip Smackers and I'm not on my teens so the question is... is there Lip Smackers in other countries beside the U.S, I want to send people things that they dont have available to their country. Can someone tell me? thanks you, i'm looking forward to this~

Yes we have Lip Smackers here in Australia. :)

what other brands? do you have caboodles, avon, body shop lip balm called" born lippy" (this balms smells like real fruits), bath & body works stores?

That would be fun, to list what brands we have locally, that way our partner could potentially send something we can't obtain...the main type I can find is by lip smackers but some other brands with snack-flavors are popular too. The coca-cola flavors look really fun, I'll have to keep an eye out for them!

Yes we have avon and and the body shop ones. Don't know about bath and body works stores. We don't have them in Western Australia at least.

Well if you want to list that's fine krysanya. This is a surprise swap, so you will get whatever your partner chooses.

Also caboodles rings a bell, maybe I have seen them somewhere or heard about them before. :/

I will be away from the 13th of June to the 20th of June. If you have any questions or msg I will reply when I return.

Thanks! :)

so the partners choose what they get? hows that a surprise?

No your partner will choose what they are going to get you. You don't know what type of chapstick or lip balm your going to get....Thats how its a surprise....it could be strawberry or water melon or lip balm kiwi fruit.

So for eg. I will send what I think my parnter will like. That's how it's a surprise. I think the swap profile outlines it pretty well...

do we send our partners two lip balms/glosses each or just one? sorry I'm not cleared on that. thanks :D

Well once again if you read the swap outline you would see that I said you send 2 either chapsticks or lip balms or one of each to 2 partners...So you buy 4 and send 2 to 1 partner and 2 to the other partner...

Also the swap is not for sending lip gloss. Only a chapstick or a lip balm. Lip gloss is a make up item. Chapticks and lip balms are to keep your lips fresh and stop them from getting dried out.

I suppose certian types of gloss can be for keeping lips chap free. But the swap is only for chapsticks or lip balms.

opps! i didnt read!

lol! Ok then! :) That's why the swap outline is there. :)

Thanks for allowing me to join! Can't wait to swap lip balms!

What about homemade lip balms?

Homemade? Ah I don't know about that...I envisoned shop bought lip balm. :/

So no I think store bought for this swap only please. I hope your don't mind. Thanks!

Christina-I look forward to swapping to! :)

yeay! thanks for letting me join! :)

That's ok! :)

have you guys seen the lip balms that are shaped like soda cans or bottles? i will be sending some to my partners!

Yes I have seen them somewhere, dun know where tho!

anyone got any flavours they dont like or something?

I know that Claires and Icing both have the shaped lip balms you are talking about:)

imfreakinhaught good question! I didn't think of that! Yes, pls add flavours you don't like. I don't like mint or strawberry.

:)

since this is an international swap and it is a small package does any know whats the cheapest way to send it? Last time i shipped to CHILE and it cost me $23.94! I know that INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS is about $10.00 which is kind of costly since this packages will be small!

I love flavored lip balms! I have enough normal ones. So any flavored ones would be welcome not pcky about the flavor.

To my partner NO MINT PLEASE, i like anything sweet!

I don't care for chocolate flavored/scented lip stuff... I'm game for anything else! (c:

i would like fruity or sweet, like vanilla, chapstick/balms.

Well I can't help ya on that one, but you are sending to small packages so maybe they will give you a special discount hehe!

I dont know if any of you know what I mean when I say 'perfumed' balms.. but I've gotten some in the past, they smell like whatever, but when you put them on, it's as if you ate perfume.. I find a lot of dollar store ones are like that, so please, none of that for me :P It's pretty unpleasant.. haha

Oh yeah, I'm also ok with lip balms that have sun protection in case anyone was wondering, like ones that have an SPF. All other kinds are ok too. Just as long as they dont have a dark red or blue tint to them. they make me look like I have chapped lips or like I'm dead, depending on the colour :P XD

I like vanilla and fruity chapsticks or lipbalms. If you can find a apple one that would be heart-worthy for sure! :o)

I am not a fan of kiwi, bubble gum, chocolate, bananna or watermelon. I love anything unusual:) ~Tricia

i have signed i hope im not too late

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let Nadine and Kaatje know that their lip balm packs have set sail. My apologies for the delay ~ they've been ready since Monday ~ but our weather and loss of vehicle has delayed me a bit. ;D I hope you enjoy them.

Hi everyone,

I received my package from Kristi and she sent me lovely sea shells. Thx so much ~ I love sea shells and I'm landlocked now ~ no ocean, no sea shells, no sand but now I've got love shells to look at. ;D

lol Can I ask what seashells has got to do with a chapstick swap? :o/

Hello hmm, they have absolutely nothing to do w/chapstick or lip balm but they were in my package and made me smile. ;D Oh, there was lip balm ~ 4 of them to be exact.

Also, I received my package from Saalis today :D. I love my new lip balms and the cool postcard. I'd like some ice cream about now too.

You can see the pics on my blog. Thx for such a fun swap, I'll definitely do it again. ;D

Hehe, shells? Well nothing but I have a container of them here and I love the beach, and I love to share =)

Oh my I got all my lipbalms today and what a great swap this was! I hope there will be another one soon. Or like before winter XD Love to the mod. If there is a next one I will defenitly join.

I would join another as well! I received from both of my partners and love them! We don't have labello in the USA... and I LOVE it! Thank you, ladies! ♥Christina
