My new favoritest thing

cahabo · Kate Spade

I think I have too much or a OCD thing to do that. I would be worried that something up for swapping would be past the shelf date or not sanitary.

I have some stuff I want to swap, but I always think about what cahabo said and don't. How do you swap stuff on MUA?

I could see if it was never opened packages, but something somebody has already dipped into would give me the heebie jeebies!

Well I write for a beauty blog and attend events occasionally (where you dip your finger into something and swab it on just like the 20 people before you) so I am past the heebie jeebies, I think.

I only traded perfumes, and alot of the items I received were new in box or you could tell they had never been swiped. Many of the listers on MUA are specific about how they tested products, and whether they've been touched with a finger or brush, etc. If they are unclear you can always ask. I would just avoid trading things like foundation, lipsticks or glosses, etc.
