Description:

It's Autumn already, and it's going to start getting cold out soon (if it hasn't already by you). The cold and wind can really wreak havoc on your lips, so what better to swap right now than lip balm?

For this swap, you'll have 2 partners and will send each of them two new, unopened sticks or tins of lip balm. So you're sending out a total of 4 lip balms.

Note: This swap isn't for lipstick or lip gloss. This should be a lip balm stick or tin, brands like Chapstick, Softlips, Burts Bees, Avon, Lipsmackers (they have a lot of fun flavors!), etc. The main differenece is lip balm is thicker and more protective for your lips than lipstick or lip gloss.

The lip balm can be flavored, scented tinted, sparkly or plain. They can be all the same, or you can by 4 different varieties.

This is senders choice, but if you have a strong preference, please post it in the comments section of this swap. Checking people's comments before you buy and send for this swap would be nice of you, but is not necessary.

There are no spending guidelines, but average price of lip balm is between $1-$3, before shipping and handling. If you can find it cheaper, or want to buy a nicer brand, that's fine too.

Newbies Welcome, but no one with less than a 4.8 rating. Everyone please swap fairly, no flaking.

Happy Swapping!

I dislike the Chapstick brand and would prefer something with a tint or shimmer to it. :)

Can I join?? I'd love to send some really lovely branded lip balm tins that I want to share, they are my favourite brand of lipbalm!! I'm a newbie but it says I do not meet the minimum requirements, if I can join I would be so happy!

NurseKelly 10/22/2011 #

@maisonlula unfortunately I have to stick to the requirements. But the sign up date isn't until Novemner 11th, so you have time to do some swaps (electronic/type 1 swaps, etc) in order to boost your rating by then.

Until you have some ratings, just put this in your watch list, but don't forget to come back and sign up when you're ready!

I also dislike Chapstick but LOVE Lipsmackers! I like lipbalms bith tint or shimmer and am willing to try a new brand. :)

Great SWAP ;o)

If I have an American partner who can send me Dr. Pepper Lipsmacker it would be awesome !.. ofcourse it's not limiting, you can send me anything other than that but I just LOVE those and they don't sell in GR :)

Kitschy 11/ 1/2011 #

Oh my goodness this is an absolute brilliant swap idea!! I'm so excited already!!! I'm a genuine lipsalve (lip balm) addict :o)

The only requirement that I have if possible is not to receive any lip balms with nut products in (almond etc) as my young daughter has a nut allergy and once caused her to have a bad reaction by kissing her wearing a new lipstick that I didn't realise contained some form of nut oil. Thanks x

KatieJ88 11/ 2/2011 #

I love this idea!!

I really hope I get someone from a different country so can try one of their lip balms :)

HeidiJean 11/ 5/2011 #

love this idea- will be joining closer to the signup date!

petulka 11/ 6/2011 #

I love Lip smackers!

maisonlula 11/ 6/2011 #

Can I join now?

NurseKelly 11/ 7/2011 #

maisonlula, you shouldn't have any problems joining the swap now! Glad to have you aboard! :)

maisonlula 11/ 7/2011 #

Ok!! Great thankyou, can't wait!!

I don't like lipsmackers!! Just a heads up

EsmeAna 11/ 7/2011 #

I love lipsmackers! But nothing with a vanilla scent/taste. I also cant get enough of the Carmex in the squeezy! Other than that, I will try anything!

momto2girls 11/ 7/2011 #

No chapstick and nothing peppermint please. And I prefer no tint or glimmer. I love Burts Bees and Lipsmackers!

daarhon 11/11/2011 #

I've never have Lipsmacker but heard so much about them here :)

rattissia 11/11/2011 #

I would join this but I normally join all natural swaps for lip balms. I've got allergies to petroleum products so I cant use a lot of brands without my lips swelling up, cracking and bleeding.

I do also make my own all natural vegetarian (and can do vegan) friendly lip balms. I can make over 30 flavors and currently have probably close to 20 already made (chocolate-carmel, mango peach fusion, strawberry and cream, root beer, coffee, chai tea, pink lemonade, butter pecan, etc-just to give you a example of what type of flavors :). I sell them with my handmade soaps at local farmers markets. I'd be happy to do private swaps with something if anyone is interested. Between I and my girls we're pretty diverse in our likes :)

EternalCreed 11/11/2011 #

Hey everyone I prefer lipsmackers and carmex but in not bothered asking as its not vaseline, chapsticks. Anything else is fine. Not too fussy xxxx

PaulandLeezy 11/11/2011 #

Hello everyone!

I love carmex in the tin, and flavored lip balms!

Just like Kitschy, nothing with almonds/almond oil or and other nuts (hazelnut, etc) due to allergy. I doubt that they would ever put any other nut other than almond oil in a lip balm, but I just wanted to cover all bases!

EternalCreed 11/11/2011 #

*typo! I'm not bothered as long as it isn't vaseline or chapsticks. xx

fritzi 11/11/2011 #

please no vaseline for me.. I would love some nice taste :) sweet, fruity, anything! The usual thing here is labello.. but i never had any lipsmackers, chapsticks, whatever ;) so i'd prefer those!

fawnscrafts 11/11/2011 #

I found a lot of soda flavored lip balm on clearance the other day. What holds me back is the postage cost for this swap.

I am not a sweet balm lover, but these are pretty good. If you do this for one balm for one partner, let me know please and i can do that.

Pastini 11/12/2011 #

I would prefer not to receive lipsmackers, chapsticks, or "soda" flavoured lip balms (Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, etc). I love homemade, all natural, Burt's Bees, etc. Any flavour!

hartline22 11/13/2011 #

I can't have Chapstick Brand as I am Allergic to it!! I LOVE Blistex in the Green package!! Thank you!!

motes 11/14/2011 #

I am not a fan of Chapstick or Carmex. Burt's Bees or Lipsmackers are great (the vanilla is my usual balm!) and I generally prefer it in a tube rather than in a tin. Coconut & almond are ok (no allergies to any nuts). I don't usually wear anything with a tint, but am open to being surprised! Thank you!
