Advent calendar/beauty box swap thread

45 replies

Roundaboot · 19/12/2022 17:33

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

Hi @CinnamonCoffee yes definitely!👍🥰
I'd love the Brazilian Bum Bum please and the Herlum please if that's ok?
Can I throw in the second Mac Mehr lippie for you too as it's not really my colour!
Please PM me your address and I'll do the same!
Thank you!

In addition to the Autograph peach lip pencil and black eyeliner I mentioned upthread, I have three perfumes (Shay and Blue black tulip from last year's M&S calendar, and Discover Warm Neroli and Shay and Blue Camellia from this year's), and a 75ml L'Occitane Amande hand cream. No swap necessary but if anyone happens still to have the Shay and Blue Blood Orange I'd be delighted to have that.

PM me details, I'll post towards the end of this week. I'm also doing a Glossybox calendar this month to make January fractionally less dismal, so there may be things from that as the month goes on.

Catslovepies · 02/01/2023 14:47

@CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan I would love the warm neroli and the hand cream, please. I have several items mostly skin care products if there's anything else you'd like?

grosvenorgirl · 02/01/2023 16:57

@CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan I'd love the Shay and Blue Black Tulip. If you scroll down there is a pic of what I have left (the Meditate shower gel, the Emma Hardie and the Prai eye cream have gone but you are welcome to any of the rest).

PS Cordelia is one of my favourite characters ever - a MNetter introduced me to those books and I adore them.

CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan · 03/01/2023 08:36

Good to meet another Bujold fan, grosvenorgirl! I only know one other person in RL who’s read them. You’re welcome to the Black Tulip, just PM me your address.

Glossybox has given me a satin sleep mask today if anyone would like that.

BigTop · 03/01/2023 21:28

I have a few hair products:
Olaplex 3 100ml
Amika Perk Up dry shampoo 234ml
We Are Paradoxx Volume Supersize Blow Dry Spray 250ml

Also lip:
Patrick Ta Monocrome Moment Silky Lip Creme 7ml
Kylie Liquid Matte Lip 706 Khlo 3ml
Uoma Beauty Mini Badass Icon Matte Lipstick Maya 0.9g

I am interested in your Medik8 Sleep Glycolic @CountryCob if you are interested in any of my items?

Otherwise would like to swap for perfume, eye makeup, skincare, anything Biossance or Medik8.

CountryCob · 04/01/2023 00:10

Sorry @BigTop it’s gone

CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan · 05/01/2023 07:19

@Moonshine86 , do you still want the Autograph peach lip crayon? If so PM me your address.

I still have a black pencil eyeliner if anyone would like it (though I imagine if we've all had beauty advent calendars everyone has eyeliners tumbling out of every cupboard). Also the Glossybox satin sleep mask.

Eaumyword · 06/01/2023 13:31

@CinnamonCoffee wowser, your parcel arrived in super fast time today - I can't believe it! Really hope yours arrives soon and you're happy with.
I'm delighted with mine and very touched that you added in some extras. Thank you so much ♥️♥️

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 07/01/2023 16:03

Can I just ask, as the peach lip crayon from M & S features heavily in the want to get rid side, is it truly dreadful? I didn't get the M & S calendar this year, went for a different one, as I always felt I was drowning in black eyeliner, which gets passed on to DD. Grin

Cheesymonster · 07/01/2023 17:06

It’s not dreadful, I just know it won’t suit me and I rarely wear lip colour anyway. It’s a bright peach/coral with some sparkly bits and as it was a crayon I expected to be a tinted lip balm type thing but it’s really quite pigmented. It’s up for grabs if you want it (along with the black eyeliner 😂)

GolfEchoRomeoTangoIndia · 07/01/2023 18:04

The Autograph lip crayon is a nice product but makes my teeth look horrendously yellow for some reason.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 07/01/2023 18:22

Ok, thanks both. I suspect I am a bit long in the tooth for something with glitter though!

CinnamonCoffee · 08/01/2023 02:23

@Eaumyword wow that did arrive fast!
I got mine thank you so much for your kindness! Love my stuff! Smile

Eaumyword · 08/01/2023 10:39

@CinnamonCoffee so glad you're pleased too!
Love this thread - such a fab idea.

mistyriver · 08/01/2023 11:22

@Snoopsnoggysnog
Is your Autograph bronzer still available? What sort of thing you looking for in return?

mistyriver · 08/01/2023 11:24

@CountryCob
Is your 7.5ml Escentric Molecule still available as well? What would you be looking or in exchange?

Snoopsnoggysnog · 08/01/2023 12:31

@mistyriver yes still got the bronzer - I’m open to lots of things - feel free to PM me!

Snoopsnoggysnog · 08/01/2023 14:25
