Advent calendar/beauty box swap thread

[Roundaboot]

Now that our 2022 calendars are nearly over (😥) I thought I'd start a swap thread to clear the decks in the New Year.

Feel free to use this thread to post what you have available for swap, from this year's calendars or anything else you have lurking in your stash.

It'd probably be a good idea to post what you're looking for, or anything you definitely don't want.

Here's what I have:
Christophe Robin Scalp Scrub 40ml
MAC lipstick in Syrup
Bare Minerals bronzer Full Size. Shade Warmth
MUA Satin Lipstick in Trophy
No7 Protect & Perfect All in One foundation in shade Latte (this is not from a beauty box - it was just sold to me by a No7 rep who thought I was about 4 shades darker than I am!)

I'd be interested in skincare, bodycare or fragrance but not haircare or makeup

So I know there have been swap threads in previous years but how does this work? Do we swap addresses and post the products? Do we just trust that the other person will post theirs? (Sorry for being sceptical/paranoid!)

Yes basically - post your list, agree a swap and exchange addresses over PM. There is a large element of trust involved obviously so I guess don't post anything out that you wouldn't be prepared to lose! However, I've done a few swaps on MN and I've never been let down yet

I’d be up for this, I’ve got a few things to offer. Placemarking/bumping, and I will come back when I’ve got a list.

Maybe wisest to wait for a couple of weeks after Christmas for the strike backlog to be cleared. Or the Londoners could have a S&B meet-up and swap shop at the cafe in Harvey Nicks / a central Pret.

Place marking. I will write a list… what calendars did people choose this year? I went for the Sephora one.

Place marking. I have the M&S calendar, and have a black eyeliner and an Autograph lip crayon in Peach so far. No need to swap, happy to post to anyone who wants either.

I’d love the autograph lip crayon in peach?! Happy to send something in return!

This is genius! I've a few bits and pieces I'd love to swap 😊

Hello I have a few things will post all in one go after Christmas, great idea thanks

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer
Autograph black eyeliner
Autograph peach/coral lip crayon
all from this years M&S calendar.

Would love to swap for any hand cream, any of the REN items or any face wash .

Fab - will PM you.

Hello I have

revolution finishing spray
autograph bronzer
turmeric face mask

Just giving the thread a little boost now that our calendars are finished.

@Cheesymonster @happyharpy78 I found the elasticizer brilliant, did you not?

@SBHon Not really, I found it didn't do anything for my hair at all, and definitely wasn't worth the investment of 15 minutes hanging around with wet hair! I do have thick wavy/curly hair though, I think it would possibly make a difference if I had finer hair.

I'd love to join this thread!
This year I had 2 x House of Fraser calendars with some nice top end products plus the M&S and l'Occitane ones.
Got a few makeup bits which wouldn't work for me which I'll post a pic of.

So these are from this year's House of Fraser advent calendar:-

• Roen gold sparkly eyeshadow in 'Summer Disco' - it has a click close lid and a little mirror to apply. Got 2 of those - 1 unopened and one opened, looked at and closed again! 1.4g weight, mini handbag size.
• MAC full size matte lipstick in 608 'Mehr'. Again, got 2 but the unopened one is the one I'd post out, the opened one is just to show the colour. (although happy to send it out if anyone really wanted it as well!) It's a lovely deep pinky neutral colour but I prefer a lighter satin/gloss these days.
• Laura Mercier mini caviar stick eye colour in 'Rose Gold'.
• Natasha Denona mini sunset eyeshadow palette. 5 eyeshadow of 0.8g each, colours are Guava, Apollo, Dirty Mars, Sun Beam and Halo.

I'd love any shampoo like Philip Kingsley or Aveda or under eye gel/cream or strong smelling shower gel/body lotion (bit nose blind!) Or any hand cream or vanilla based or gourmand based mini perfume?

@Eaumyword I would love the Mac lipstick and ND eyeshadow if any of these are any good.

I think only the bum bum is full size so if you are interested you can pick a few things
