Yeah can price limit be individually set? I don't have a job so money = limited. Haha

I agree, I think price limit should be talked about between the people exchanging the products.

That makes sense...price limit being talked about between those exchanging. I'm sure we're all on different budgets. Well, I just found where I can find Sleek Palettes online here in the States, so I won't be needing them anymore. Well, not from a Beauty Pen Pal! Having said that, I am willing to swap with anyone/from any country! 

Gah I really want some SLEEK makeup but nowadays who can you trust...

Just thought of something to add in the rules: We need to address what happens in the event a package is lost or gets caught up in customs. One person could end up without their goodies and that wouldn't be fair. Should it be required that insurance be added to the package. I know this is unlikely, but it does happen! I'd hate for someone to not receive the items they are expecting.

PS. No one calls me Jacqueline, except for my mother. HA! Everyone calls me Jackee so I changed it on my profile!

The problems is that adding an insurance to the package is really expensive...

Yea, adding insurance is really expensive. It would stink but I think the people should deal with it when or if that happens. Just my opinion.

If we add an insurance we'll probably spend more money on the insurance than on the products we're sending. I agree with you, Erin, if the package is lost or get caught up in customs, I think we should deal with it. People know in advance that packages might get lost...

So I randomly found this and I've liked the facebook page and now I'm gonna go introduce myself over there!
Definately under $25 and I think that if we have skype and can see the products/ package before we ship everyone would be at peace!

Yeah, I am sure it can get expensive depending on where you are. Hmm....I guess it can also be left up to the people who are swapping.

Paloma F.

Yes, if both parties agree with it, that's great :)

Okay thanks Paloma :)

I think that is an awesome idea.
I think one way of doing it is Ebay. Once you get to know your beauty pal, you then send the link with the BUY it now with the requested material and it once the payment clears you are sent an email with the address you can ship it too :)
