It was never gonna go away was it? A couple of years ago the demise of Swap Siopa was long and loudly lamented. So we listened - and we've brought it back! Hurrah!
What is Swap Siopa anyway?
It's really simple - it's a place to swap all your unwanted beauty products. It's green, it's clean and it's totally Beaut.ienomical.
It's free and there's no hidden catches. This is how it works:
- You buy (or get as a pressie) an object of beaut.ie. A cleanser, a moisturiser, some perfume, hair stuff, makeup, whatever.
- Then you decide it's not for you. It might not suit your skin etc.
- You can't bring it back cos you've used some of it. But it cost a fortune...
- So swap it! Someone else would love it - and you've got a chance to get something you'd really love. And try out a new product for zero pee!
- Post up your product, or make someone else an offer.
- You get rid of the product you don't want and in exchange you get one you DO want. It's a win-win!
Why did it die?
Er... it just did right? No, seriously, rules and stuff weren't worked out properly and we weren't hosting it so we didn't have control over it. But now we're reviving it on our shiny new Forum for your swapping pleasure and the rules and guidelines have been forged from the embers of experience. Or something. Look you know what I mean. This time round we mean business and you must adhere STRICTLY to the T&C's .

How do I use it?
Read the rules and terms and conditions on the Forum.
What can I swap?
Beauty products - brand new in boxes, very slightly used or lightly tested. Good quality stuff. Basically stuff you'd be happy to get yourself. Have a look here to see the sort of stuff we swapped before.
What can't I swap?
- Used mascaras, eyeliners, or lipsticks. Like UGH people. We don't care if they do this on other forums, it's not happening here. You can of course swap these products if they are brand new, boxed or unopened.
- No samples AT ALL that you collected (or ripped out of magazines) and are listing in order to get nice full sizes. You must state clearly the amount of product in your swap (100ml etc).
- Cheap crap that you went out and bought expressly for the purpose of swapping. (Puts on Mr T Voice). This means you ain't gonna be gettin no Eve Lom for Pennys makeup. We mean it. Now you ain't trickin me into getting on no plane.... (whack).
God and Santa are watching
Above all, as Jesus said, treat others as you would like to be treated. Well if not him, then Santa sees everything. Just be nice, honest - and prompt - and everyone will be happy.
