Autumn International Beauty Swap

A few months back I arranged a summer beauty swap between lots of bloggers all over the world. It was great fun, and everyone seemed to enjoy it, so I thought now would be a good time to plan another. Getting a surprise parcel as the weather starts to turn that little bit more autumny is something I thought would cheer us all up, especially now that a lot of the AW13 beauty collections have been released! 


How it works:

1. Leave a comment a on the bottom of the post to say you'd like to take part - leave your email address, blog address and also whether you'd prefer UK only or are happy to do an international swap. Sign up closes on 22 September.

2. I will pair you up with another blogger, and send you their contact details so you can get chatting.

3. Agree a budget between you for your swap - I think £15/20 (or equivalent in local currency) is a nice amount, but it's up to you if you prefer more or less.

4. Go shopping! Try to find out a bit about your swap partner's likes and dislikes and buy them some goodies to your agreed budget.

5. Post your swap parcel to your swap partner - try to arrange it so that you receive them at roughly the same time!

6. Enjoy your new goodies! It would be great if you did a blog post on what you sent/received and shared it with us here.

The boring stuff: 

I've taken part in several blog swaps before and never experienced any issues. Sometimes this does happen, so although I'm helping to organise your swaps, I'm not liable for missing/unsent parcels.

Please send recorded delivery if you can, as this helps ensure that if any parcels do go missing, you have some extra way to claim from Royal Mail. Also, if doing an international swap, check what you can/can't send and any customs issues. Nail Polish can no longer be sent out of the UK by Royal Mail (and there are restrictions on sending it inside the UK), so please be careful of what you send.

The swap is open to over 16s only. 

So how does that sound? Fancy taking part? Just leave me your blog name, email and twitter details, plus UK only/International in a comment below.

  37. Hello, I don't have a blog but I would love, love, love to do a swap. Maybe I'm not allowed to play but I want to sign up anyways. I'm from Finland, 23 years old and I'm just now starting to realize that there is a whole world of makeup products and beauty stuff, I've been a bit lazy when it comes to my look but I'm really eager to learn. I've been following Gossmakeupartist and Ruth Crilly on YouTube and I love them end their style. So, my email is stupidhobbit90@hotmail.com . Accept me or not to this, I can swap with any country, it would be so interesting :)
