If you just can't wait for Christmas

The other day I was busy (surfing) when i chanced upon this beauty blog from a very sweet girl in Australia.  She had a great idea that I want to share with my Filipina sisters. Here it is - an INTERNATIONAL MAKEUP SWAP.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, a makeup swap involves two parties whether it be international or local who swap unused makeup in the hope of finding new beauty goods.  The two parties decide on a budget and a time frame in which they will do their shopping.  After expiration of said time frame, you will then send your loot to the other party and vice versa.  And when it arrives it's just like Christmas when you were 7 years old sitting in front of a tree not knowing what awesome goodness waits for you inside the box.

There are rules however to this INTERNATIONAL MAKEUP SWAP.  You must be a certified blogger so your partner can find out more about you and your likes and dislikes.  Ms. Jasmine, the owner of the blog i referred to earlier, set a budget for $AU50.  In Philippine pesos that would be about Php2,150.00.

She badly needs more international bloggers to join the swap.  Personally, I'm gonna take this opportunity to showcase the quality and ingenuity of the Philippine Cosmetics Industry.  So I am diving into more research to find the truly unique, high quality and most importantly Filipino-owned cosmetics that I will be proud to send off to lands across our seas.  If you have anything in mind, you can write it in the comments box below and I will give it a go.  Thanks and hope to catch you in the International Makeup Swap.
