Beauty swaps (part 3)

The swapping continues...

Ninth swap

Another late arrival! I made this divvy the same day as the Chella eyeliner one, and it also had postal issues. I swapped with Breigh who had "super flu" which delayed sending the items, then the package was returned for insufficient postage before finally arriving two weeks later. Ugh. I was just happy the package finally showed up.


I swapped Be a Bombshell eyeshadow quad in Bora Bora and Stainiac for a Pacifica set of Indian Coconut Nectar body butter and perfume. I am loving the smell! So delicious! These may be my favorite trade items yet. Breigh also included a REN Clean Skincare moisturizer sample and a personal note.


I've never heard of this place, and a quick google search was unsuccessful. Too bad, it sounded like an interesting drink.

Tenth swap

Surprise! I have another tinted face cream to swap! This time I received Serge Normant Dry Conditioner from Erin. I currently use an Aveeno dry shampoo that I really like, but haven't yet tried a dry conditioner. I'm looking forward to testing this out, although my excitement was dimmed somewhat by the smell. I worry that it may be too musky. Erin also included a bonus item.


The extra item is Aveda Be Curly style prep. Not sure how much I will like this product, but it smells nice.

Eleventh swap

Apparently I switched from nail polish to eyeliner this month. I swapped an IT Cosmetics Brow Pencil for Inika Eyeliner in Green Lagoon. This eyeliner went out to some subscribers of the March birchbox. I was really disappointed not to receive it and it was high on my list of items to swap for. Inika is a certified organic brand out of Australia. 


I have dark, thick brows that really do not need assistance from brow pencils. I was happy to trade it for eyeliner, which I know I will get a lot of use out of. I do feel a bit bad, after seeing my Instagram pic of the trade, my co-worker B informed me she loves this brow pencil and would have traded me the eyeliner (which she called mermaid green). Maybe I should start giving her first refusal?

Twelfth swap

This was a great trade for two reasons: I off-loaded the false eyelashes (I was convinced no one would want them due to the excess of falsies I've seen on the swap site)  and I completed the Cocktail Hour Collection from Color Club. 


This color is Top Shelf, which joins Dark'n Stormy (an earlier trade) and On the Rocks (from birchbox). I haven't quite worked out the details yet, but I think these three polishes could be a neat mani.

Stay tuned for more swapping fun!

My eDivv "shop" is: http://edivv.com/items?shop_id=936. Come swap with me!  :-)
