I just had a look in my bathroom cabinet and gosh it is full of stuff I don't even use or have used once/twice and probably won't use again.
And I thought: We are all people who love our beauty products, and trying new ones for free, so maybe we could do some swapping? (Like a swapping party but New Zealand wide over the internet).
I am happy to start. Just wondering what everyones thoughts were on doing this.
Obviously only products that are still usable, more than 50% left and if you want something that someone lists - you just have to put up what you are able to offer. :-)

Sounds like a good idea, but I would want to make sure everything is hygenic - e.g. not pots or palettes where people have been using dirty hands or brushes. There's a pretty good guide here (http://www.xovain.com/how-to/clean-and-preserve-your-makeup#feed=/how-to) on how to clean your make up products. I want to share products, not germs!
Believe it or not, trade me used to be really strict on allowing people to sell used cosmetics/beauty products. I think its a hard one. I wouldn't recommend for safety reasons doing swaps on used products, but definitely a good idea for impulse purchases that have never been used! Unless its like a fragrance or something like that, then it doesn't matter if its been used. If you physically apply it to your body/skin prolly not a good idea, but if its a tube, fragrance etc.. Then that could be a really cool idea! I have heaps of unused stuff I would swap!
Oh yeah, definitely only want hygenic products! So no lipsticks/mascaras or anything where the applicator actually touches your skin. But I'm cool with body moisturisers where you put the product on your hand before putting it on your body. I have nail polishes, hair products and a couple of fake tan products to give away. In terms of postage, I thought that if we are swapping, so one person swaps a product directly with someone else - then we each pay for our postage and it makes it even.
I'm totally a clean freak too. Will only be sending stuff that I would be happy to recieve.

Hi Funbeea! Yes sure - wouldn't mind trying the Elizabeth Arden foundation. :-) My email address is [email protected] - we can swap addresses etc. Thanks!
Woohoo, first official swap!

Suzy, I went out in the weekend to buy some rubbing alcohol and had a struggle! Mitre 10 and Bunnings both said they don't sell it because people use it to make p!!! I ended up getting a bottle at the pharmacy yesterday afternoon. I'm going to clean some of my products this weekend, and also see if I have any I've not used, or only lightly used, then post on here.
I have a Nude by Nature primer available - I've used 2 or 3 times, but I already have another primer so not much point it hanging around!
"Undercover Airbrush primer 50ml - RRP $29.95
Start your application with your primer. It’s the perfect way to prepare the skin, nourish and protect using Papaw, Vitamin E, Green Tea, to fill pores and lock on your make-up for all day wear."
I also have a sample sized clinique cleanser and yellow moisturiser - they're about 30ml and I've used them once each. I tossed the toner because it was made with menthol which is very drying and terrible for your skin. The cleanser and moisturiser were nice though, so if anyone wants them I am happy to send it out.
I have LaTweez tweezers with the light in them - I got them from BR but I didn't really like the light. Other people who have reviewed them were big fans so if you want them I'll send them on.
I have a few little 'sachet' samples of things like Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion - I wouldn't bother sending them seperately but if anyone wants to swap with me I will pop them in as well.

What a great idea. Sadly I am the mother of teenage girls, lovely girlfriends with different tastes and colour preferences to me so anything I don't use is snapped up in no time flat but this is a great idea and means that unwanted but wonderful products are shared and enjoyed and don't sit in a draw until they are past being able to be used
Lenarose I would love the tweezers if still available. I think this is a great idea and will have a look around for products unused or able to be swapped.
I wish we could message members as I would feel better about passing my details on rather than publicly pasting my email address. If there is a way this can be done on here can someone let me know please :)
