We were talking about MAC boxes up for swap on MUA and I must say, I’m a little ticked off. It’s brought to light the fact that there are people who swap for something and then return it, or exchange it.

Now: I’m fine with people swapping for a MAC box. Let’s say you bought a tube of Snob and you’re loving it, and then two days later your lips blow up, and oops! you lost your box. Swap for one and return – fine with me.

The problem is that I’m sure some ladies are swapping for items (or swaplifting items) and then returning them – this came up a few months back; another MUAer saw a woman in Sephora get a $300 refund for a bag of products that had already been 90% used. They didn’t want to have to deal with her in the rush, so the manager just let it slide.

It’s not just me, right? Like… this is wrong, swapping for items and then getting a refund for them at the nearest store. I’m not just confused, being a nosy stuck-up rigid prick again? I can’t see how this could possibly be allowed – maybe legally it’s fine, but ethically? How could you do that?!

Anyhow. Just my two cents.
