Item Trading Guidelines
-Don't trade out more value than you're adding to keep the experience fun and fair for those ahead of you.
-Don't add doubles/multiples unless someone ahead of you is looking for an item.
-Trade within brand range. Ie: don't trade tarte for dior.
-Only trade high end items for high end items. Be prepared to provide value of your high end trades if requested.
-This box is gonna be tight! Due to space please only smaller FS items or FS that someone is ISO.
-Try to trade within the same category when possible: ie skincare for skincare.
-Don't take all of one item.
-Be mindful of maintaining balance of items for those ahead of you.
Valuing Guidelines
-If there is discrepancy of values you may be asked to calculate.
-Swatched items deduct 10% in value calculation.
-Lightly used deduct 20% in value calculation.
-DS value will be calculated off of the largest size available
-If the item is a long term clearance resident, the clearance price will be used.
-5 DS items = 1 FS items when trading by item.
General Box Housekeeping
-Post your trades within 3 days of receiving box and ship within 2 days of getting approval. If there are any issues with completing in this timeline PLEASE communicate with me/the group.
-Provide shipping details within 1 day of shipping the box.
-Mark your used/swatched items with the stickers provided and clean them before putting them in the box.
-Do not swatch items, even if they are already swatched.
-Do not put expired items in the box! There are many websites to check expiration.
-Do not put used unsanitary items in the box (liquid lips, mascaras, etc). Only lightly used items that are able to be sanitized such as lipstick and powders. If you are unsure if it’s acceptable to add, ASK!
-If you are sending a liquid without a seal please kindly tape it closed.
-Please be sure palettes are protected in the box.
-If you receive the box with unsanitary products or items not as marked notify me immediately. If you swatch new items or send unsanitary or expired items I will not hesitate to leave negative feedback in the traders thread. There are plenty of online resources to see swatches.
-Post your trades with PICTURES that clearly show what you are taking out and putting in.
-You must have at least 50% of the groups approval to ship, with the person ahead of you approving as well. Please make an effort to follow this thread and weigh in on trades.
-Please maintain the organization of the box.

Thank you ladies! The box is packed and ready to ship to @snoflakefaerie. I’ll PM the tracking number tomorrow.
Awesome @CC3616! I should be able to ship it tomorrow.
Looks good. Enjoy!
@faeriegirl - Wow can't believe you got the box sooo fast. Those trades look good to me!
Looks good to me!
The box arrived safely I will post pictures soon of my trades.🤗
@snoflakefaerie @kariyava @pinyo @faeriegirl @IttyxBittyxMe @gymgirl2 @lmaster I will be updating the main post as well so info is easy to find but wanted to update as the box gets close to arrival.
Items with pink/purple stickers are lightly used. Items with yellow are swatched. A friendly reminder please don't swatch any box items 🙂 There is a sheet of stickers taped to the box flap.
Please be sure to keep luxe items and mid-range items separate in the box and repack into the provided bags to help keep it easy for those ahead of you. Also please post separate pictures of your luxe and mid-range trades.
If a baggie is broken please replace it with the smallest size plastic baggie. smaller baggies = less room in the box full of excess baggies and more room for goodies.
Please unbox items to save room when able.
Most people tend to trade into the box in excess of their trade because all of the lovely BIC babes are generous and amazing people. Sadly the size of the flat rate box keeps getting smaller 😞 Which means lots of items in don't always fit well. I did my best to trim down the starting box to the best items and leave room for a little growth and bigger items as able but please be mindful of how much extra you're putting in and how items fit in the box to avoid shipping headaches for those towards the end.
A reminder to keep to mid/luxe brands. Please no drugstore brands, low end sheet masks etc. Only known prestige ulta, sephora, nordys, barneys, space nk etc type brands unless something someone is specifically ISO.
As able please keep up with the thread (I feel ya, life is crazy!) since we need approvals from participants to ship the box forward. It's helpful to tag everyone when you post your trade also so they're notified.
Trade picture examples for those who haven't participated before:
above would be my luxe trade with items I'm taking out on the left and items I'm putting in on the right. I would be prepared to calculate values on luxe trades but don't need to provide them upfront. I am trading 1:1 skincare at the top and adding an extra makeup item at the bottom. At the top I'm trading within the product category (ie: oil for oil, eye for eye) which is ideal when possible but not necessary 🙂
above would be my mid trade with items I'm taking out on the left and items I'm putting in on the right. Again at the top I traded mask for mask which is best case, but you can see my bottom trades weren't like that at all
And below is a trade that wouldn't be approved:
Out items on left, in on right. Things wrong here: At the top I'm trying to take out luxe (SKII and guerlain) and trade in drugstore and mid. The creme shop mask wouldn't be approved since its not a prestige/sephora brand. At the bottom again trying to trade mid for drugstore. The NYX wouldn't be approved to go in the box.
Helpful tips for your trade pics:
- Have something physically separating your ins and outs.
- Keep luxe and mid trade pictures separate.
- Show makeup, skin, hair trades separate when possible.
- List your items if your pictures are zoomed out or hard to see.
I knew I'd forget something! Also I didn't include any foils with the exception of single use mask foils in the mask bags due to space 🙂
@CC3616 I am possibly interested in the Omorovicza cleansing balm and Olaplex, too. Is the 111Skin the vitamin C serum that came in the FabFitFun/Ipsy boxes? If so, I'm interested. I would be in to the ND palette, but I already have that one.
it is the vitamin C boost @snoflakefaerie 🙂
Such amazing goodies! I would definitely use the davine, both omorovizca, and the opalex! They’re all FS? I’ll have to find FS stuff to trade for it 🙂
Yes they are! There's also a TS oi milk spray as well starting in the box. DS trade in's are okay too as long as values are close on the luxe items 🙂 The trading ratio was 5 DS = 1 FS in previous TSBS 🙂 @pinyo . Since FS items are harder to trade out sometimes, can you check with the group on interest on them too? thanks!!!
Sounds great @CC3616 . Can’t wait for the box to start!
