Beauty swaps (part 5)

I thought I wouldn't have any new swaps for awhile since I am down to hardly any items in my swap shop, but then *bam* multiple requests in one night. Sadly there is one person who has attempted to swap me for certain items twice, and each time I respond they do not accept and after two days the swap cancels. Grr. I really want to swap those items too.

Seventeenth swap

This swap was my second swap on My Subscription Addiction. For those reading my other posts, you will recognize the two items from my April Wantable Accessories box that I really didn't like. I listed these items just to see if anyone was interested, and I swear as soon as I hit the submit button I had a swap offer for both items. Even more exciting the person, Mary Beth, had two Juleps (Coco and Kristy) and a Color Club polish I liked. Neither Julep was on my wish list, but two Juleps in one swap?! Yes, please! Also, Mary Beth is local so this swap arrived really quickly.

My only complaint is that I had really accepted the swap because the Color Club shade was listed as Heirloom Pearl which was the shimmery white shade from the Gala's Gems collection birchbox sampled. Unfortunately the shade that arrived was Gold Struck. I'm disappointed since I really wanted the white shade, but the gold is okay. Of course, now I want to swap for all four shades. (I received the blue shade in my birchbox.) I don't love Kristy, so I might be swapping her in pursuit of the Gems polishes.

Eighteenth swap

Another local swap! This arrived lightning fast. Again, for those following along at home you may notice a familiar product. I swapped with Shelley, sending off the Coola sunscreen for the Be a Bombshell Bora Bora eyeshadow quad. Yes, the same eyeshadow quad I received in an ipsy bag and swapped for the Pacifica items. I hesitated swapping away the shadow at the time, and out of what items Shelley had, it was the one that appealed most. Plus, I really wanted to swap away the Coola. I've had it for awhile. 

Nineteenth swap

With this swap, my third one on My Subscription Addiction, I completed my Color Club Gala's Gems set! (I picked up the third one in a deal through the Julep Swap Facebook page.) Sadly, this swap and the next had shipping issues on my end. More on that below. 

My swap partner this time was Jen from Michigan. She picked out the Hang Ten sunscreen that I received in my May ipsy bag. As someone who never uses sunscreen, I was really happy to swap it away. Especially for Heirloom Pearl.

Twentieth swap

Another Julep! This swap was with Cecilia from Texas. I sent off the CōTZ sunscreen in return for Julep Jules. This polish was one I had been eying from the Julep May selections. 

So, the shipping issue I mentioned. I made both of these swaps on the same night, and rushed out the next morning to mail them off at my usual neighborhood shipping center. Sadly, I was in a rush to head off on a business trip and a new girl was working. These factors led to the shipping labels being switched, and the wrong item was sent to each swap partner. So frustrating! I apologized profusely, sent shipping money, and am re-sending the packages. I feel so bad though. Especially for this particular swap. I feel like the CōTZ is so small and not nearly worth the value of a Julep polish. Oh, well. I will be super diligent about checking labels in the future.
