EBAY HAUL

I have not done an ebay haul in quite some time.  I purchase on ebay all the time but just a few things here and there.  Recently I went crazy and bought a lot of items.  This is just part of those that have come in.  I will do another blog on the other items.  I have a lot of nail crystals and make up brushes I am waiting on.  I love ebay because I get new items for a low price.  Being on a budget, ebay helps me get higher end products without the sticker shock.  I hope you enjoy this review.  Check out my you tube video for more info.  The sellers to these products will be listed below and in the description box on my you tube channel.

Nail Art Practice Wheel:  I use these to practice nail art designs.  You get 10 in a pack and they can run from $.99 up to a few dollars.  Sometimes you can get them for even less  I have a lot of these.  I keep them in a storage box so I can reference them for any nail designs I am looking to create.  I also use them to practice new techniques.

Philosophy Amazing Grace:  I like oils much better than some perfumes and colognes.  Oils stay on my skin longer.  When I use perfumes or colognes, I have to use the shower gel, lotion and body spray with the perfume to make the scent last.  Oils are much better sometimes, as the fragrance is more concentrated and will last much longer.  This one by Philosophy is a very clean, fresh scent with an undertone of floral.  Very light for Spring and summer.

BH Cosmetics Baked Eyeshadow - Asteroid:  I got a trio of BH cosmetics eyeshadow in a Beauty Box and really liked them.  They are soft and the pigment is great.  They apply well and blend out well too.  This color is similar to one of the colors in the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette.  As you can see below, they both have the bronze monochrome.  The BH one is very pigmented dry. I used it as an all over the lid color.  The monochrome makes it look like you have more than one color on you eyes.  I added a little bit of a muted gold in the center of my lid and this brought out the color even more.  I used the same muted gold at a brow highlight and just blended the rest of the Asteroid color up into the crease.  It was a very simple eye look and with the monochrome effect it was very nice.  I will look into purchasing more of these and trying them wet.  I paid $1.99 for this.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray:  I have been trying out a few eyeshadow primers and came across this one.  I have heard a lot about this on you tube and decided to try it out.  This in eyeshadow and concealer primer.  I have used it as both and this product ROCKS!  This is just a sample, but a little bit is all you need.  This is the second one that I have purchased, so that I have a back up.  The both were about $.99 each.  My eyeshadow lasts all day with no creasing or fading.  I have my makeup on for about 6 hours a day and this helps.  As a concealer primer, it works the same way.  No caking or ceasing of your concealer.  This is one of those products that you have to experience to really appreciate all the positive reviews.

Urban Decay Loose Pigment - Rockstar:  Purple is my fave color of eyeshadow and this one is awesome.  Since it is a pigment, technically, it can be used for other things, not just eyes.  The color is bold with a bit of sparkle.  I used this as a crease color and to line the bottom lash line after applying liner.  The sparkle is there but it is not too over powering.  I really like this shade and will look into getting more.  I paid about $4 for this.  I love the packaging.  It is very pretty.

Maybelline Color Tattoo - Bad To The Bronze, Potent Purple:  I have only one other color tattoo, also in purple.  These are really pigmented and are very long lasting.  The eye studio color makes a wonderful base and is very creamy.  It is light enough to blend out and add another color over it.  I used it all over the lid and blended up to the crease.  I then added a muted burgundy in the crease and outer corner with a light pale beige as the brow highlight.  A very simple eye look that lasted with no problems.  When taking of the color tattoo, you will need to use make up remover.  The purple is light and would be a good base for adding the Urban Decay color over for a more intense look.  This one has a more blue undertone that the Urban Decay but blended out is very pretty.  The bronze was $1.99 and the purple was $1.49.

NYX Love in Rio - Amazonian Babes:  I have one NYX trio I got in a Beauty Box with cranberry colors.  This one is nudes.  They are very muted on my skin tone.  These are great for just have a light eye look.  The pigment in these are not as intense as the other one I have.   There is quite a bit of sparkle in these and since they are so sheer, you see more of the sparkle than the color.  I was looking for more pigment out of these, but it fell a bit flat.  I have a few NYX single shadows and those are also very pigmented.  This trio was about $2.99.

Costal Scents Go Palette Paris:  This palette is great for travel with the hard case it comes in.  There's a good variety of colors so that you can create many eye looks.  The pigmentation is hit or miss on some colors but all in all it is a nice go to palette.  The black has shimmer.  I would have liked to see one with a matte finish.  I did use this a used the dark blue as a crease color and the turquoise as a pop of color on the lower lash line.  The look was very nice and tropical but not to bold.  I will look into getting more items from Costal Scents.  This palette was a great deal for about $8.00.
