Circular Swap Haul!

I posted a while back about a circular swap I was doing with some of the other ladies at MakeupTalk.  The idea was to put samples and products that we don't want in a flat rate box/envelope, and mail it to the next person on the list.  The next person would then take out what they wanted, and add unwanted samples of their own, and so on, until the last person on the list returns it to the first.

Well, Friday I finally got the box, and as I am close to the end of the rotation, there was a TON to choose from!  I made out like a bandit, and thought I'd share my haul here, in case anyone was interested in participating in something like this!

I received a large Flat Rate box stuffed full.  It included lots of sample packets, quite a few full sized nail care products (some acrylics, some decals, quite a few full sized polishes), full sized and sample sized makeup items ranging from concealer to foundation to eyeshadow, and some coupons.  It was like Christmas! Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the box as I received it, but I did take one when I was finished repacking it!

Some of the things I took out of the box are a myGlam pouch (I use them for organizing my samples and small makeup items), myGlam case and two of the brushes (I'm working on a pink brush set for a gift), a Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes palette (which I have fallen completely in love with), a Wet n Wild shadow trio, an Urban Decay loose pigment, a Milani eyeshadow, a Color Tattoo shadow in white (I love this for a shadow base), a CG loose powder, a lip balm, a MAC pigment in Chartreuse, a couple of HiP pigments, a broken Ulta shadow (that I have since re-set) and several packet samples (some not pictured).  So far I am really happy with everything!

Some of the things I put in include a couple of full sized CG lipsticks, a couple of polishes, some Bath & Body Works Pocketbacs and a lotion, some Pantene hair repair ampoules, quite a few skin care items (wash, day cream, night cream, Deep Cleansing Oil, a Clinique face soap, some coconut body and face oil, etc), some perfume samples, argan oil samples, Frownies face patches, M.A.D. skincare samples, a silk ribbon and bow headband, and some pearl earrings.  After the photo, I also added some more polishes and some GDE eyeshadow samples, as well as a few other skincare samples.

Here's the box all ready to go, minus the padding and packing materials!  It's HUGE and full of a ton of awesome things.  If you ever get a chance to participate in something like this, I recommend it!  We've had so much fun with it!
