A few days ago, I had a brilliant idea.
A brilliant idea that would combine four of my favorite things: new beauty products, my friend Erin, my friend Denys, and lunch.
BIRCHBOX SWAP PARTY!!!!
DID I INVENT THIS?! I THINK I INVENTED THIS!
We all went through our Birchboxes for the last few months, gathered up the samples we didn’t use or didn’t like, and met for lunch! Then, we dumped everything out and started swapping! It was so fun to see the things they got in their Birchboxes! It was SO FUN to pick new samples! It was so fun to talk to Denys into keeping her red lipstick!
My Cuban sandwich gave me a stomach ache.
But, my Birchbox swap idea gave me a great big head! Because my friends loved it!
So now, I have a bunch of new samples to try, and a standing date with my friends to swap smooches and products.
I’m smelly and into sun protection.
If you and your friends get Birchbox subscriptions, I really recommend you start your own chapter of the Birchbox Lunch Bunch. If you don’t get Birchbox, you should!
I think next time I’m going to make us all wear fancy red hats. The good ideas just keep coming!

So much fun! Yeah for sample swaps!
Yay! Beauty, broads, and BLTs! Loved every second!
This sounds awesome! I’ve got to drop a link to Reddit’s Makeup Exchange forum…based on this post I’m guessing you’re going to like it: http://www.reddit.com/r/makeupexchange/
That’s cool!! Have you swapped with strangers?
I’m pretty new to it, but I’m currently awaiting a mini Urban Decay Revolution in 69 ($7 shipped) and a full size bottle of Primer Potion ($10 shipped!). I’ve also made three successful sales so far of deluxe sample size stuff I wasn’t using and netted almost $30…so more money for more makeup! The mods update usernames with that little title next to it (White Level 1, or whatever) to indicate how many successful swaps someone has had, and they have a banned user list to try and keep people honest. It just seemed like such a cool idea when I heard about it, and people have some pretty impressive swap lists. The only hard part is not losing your mind and buying all the things.
And dropping a link to me would be REALLY awesome! XOXOXO!
It seems like they only allow trading/selling/buying posts in there, so the next time I post a sell thread I’ll link to you under that. You know I want to help get the word out about your awesome self…I can’t believe not everyone has had a sip of the Lab Bunny Kool-Aid yet! <3
Just got my birch box started. YAY!
YES!!
Yay, Jen! more friends for our schwap!
Holy shit this blog rules! I literally just spent the last few hours reading every post, great stuff! AND I just reserved my Birchbox. Shwooop!
Fuck yeah, dude! I hope you like it!
