Its been so long since I wrote a blog post, I have been so busy with college I have just had no idea of what to write about but I'm back today with a post I'm super excited to share with you, so bare with this one might be a long one!
I have recently been obsessed with Ebay and watching peoples Ebay finds on you-tube, I decided to risk it and order a few bits off there and I'm so happy with the bits I have brought so I wanted to share them with you today! I will try and find the links for everything and post them on here so you can purchase these bits if you are interested!
The first thing I ordered was some make up brushes, I have brought some make up brushes of here previously and I love them, I have had them for over 2 years and they are still going strong so I thought I'd give it another go and try some more. The ones I brought were a pack of 20 and it includes mainly eye brushes and one foundation brush, unfortunately I don't have the full set to photograph as I have gifted some to my mum and nan some. I only paid £4.95 for these. Link here.
The next thing I purchased was some false stiletto nails, it was a pack of 600 and they are all different sizes, they came with a free nail glue which if I am honest was rubbish but the nails are such good quality and I love how these are clear so that I can paint them what ever colour or pattern I like. I have already done my nails a few time and I have done my mums and she was very impressed with them. The first time I wore these I had a lady I served at work asking me where i had got them done, lets just say she was very impressed when I told her I did them myself. These were a complete bargain at £4.95. Link here. These again came so quick, I ordered them on a Saturday night about 8pm and they were delivered to me on Monday.
The next item I brought i was very cautious about as I have never brought make up off Ebay before. I decided to buy the LA girl Pro concealer HD, I have heard so many good reviews about this foundation but I didn't know where i could buy it in the UK. I brought this in the lightest shade I think which is Porcelain, I didn't know what to expect when this arrived I only paid £3.50, Link here but i am super impressed this has now become my favourite concealer! It is such high coverage and so creamy and covers my blemishes so well, I honestly would recommend this to everyone.
My last 3 purchases I will probably have people moaning at me for buying this but I really wanted to just see what they were like. I decided to try some MAC lipsticks, I straight away knew these were fake as one was £2.99 and the other was £1.89 links here & here, so I didn't have high expectation. The first one to arrive was the £1.89 one which was supposed to be in the shade Please me, Well as you can tell from the pictures it is certainly not the same colour as what Please me is supposed to be, I would say this is pretty similar to MAC's amplify, this smells exactly what my other mac lipsticks smell like and when I apply this to my lips its so lovely and buttery and not drying at all so I am pretty happy with this lipstick even if it wasn't what I expecting. The packaging even feels the same as my others and the sticker on the bottom even looks pretty real (see pictures).
The next lipstick was not impressed by, when this arrived it felt fake and the sticker on the bottom showed me it clearly wasn't real. The colour is nothing like the picture, this was supposed to be in the shade Lovelorn but its nothing like what the actual colour is like. This lipstick has a very strange smell to it and it very dry, when I applied it to my had you really have to press quite hard in order for the colour to come out. I have not yet dared to try this on my lips but i would not recommend this one!
The last thing I ordered has to be my favourite of them all, this is the Too faced chocolate bar palette, I picked this up for only £4.69 including delivery, I really wasn't expecting much from this palette as it was so cheap but today it arrived and oh my god, i couldn't believe what i was seeing, its exactly the same as the actual chocolate bar palette, the box even had a serial number on it and looked real, the only give away is that the colours don't actually have the shade names on the inside but it has a little insert with it. This smells exactly like chocolate and the colours are so pigmented and creamy, I tried this out straight away on myself and then on my mum and we are both super impressed with it. Unfortunately I cant find the link for the one I purchased but I have managed to find one similar here. The only problem I have with this one is that the lid fell off when I opened it but I have managed to fix it.
So that's all my purchases! I have ordered some sunglasses and some other bits and pieces but they haven't arrived yet, if you want another blog post like this including the items I have brought let me know! I really enjoyed writing this post and buying all the items its made me want to get back into regular blogging! Let me know what you thought. My twitter is shelbsbeauty_
