Why I ♥ Ebay

I used to always be skeptical about ordering things online. I was always afraid that I would never get my products or someone would just take my information and run with it. So, I talked to a couple of friends that ordered from Ebay and got a crash course on the do’s and don’ts. After that I was ready to jump in and bid and win my items. It was o exciting to me. I felt like I was in a real life auction. I set my price on what I didn’t want to go over and I let the games begin. On your mark! Get ready! Set! Gooooooo!!!!! 

 

Now we play the waiting game. I’m so excited to check the mail everyday to see if my purchases came in. It’s something about getting a package in the mail that makes me go bonkers. 

 

I’m going to list the items I ordered and as they come in I’ll post a pic of it. Once everything is in I will do a Ebay haul video.

Everything I ordered was under 6 bucks w/ the exception of the MAC Lavender Pigment. I paid $11 for it ONLY because I really loved the color and I really wanted it. The 120 palette was $12 which is an awesome deal. I have a couple of 88 palettes that I paid $20 bucks for before I discovered Ebay. Ok enough of my blabbering. Here is the picture of the first items that came in today . 

MAC Lavender Pigment and MAC Teal Pigment

So, I checked the mail today 8/17/2011 and I had a package!!! Yayyyy meeeee!!! Some of my Ebay items came in. The anticipation was killing me. :( So, of course I ripped the package open like it was X-mas time! I couldn't wait to get to it. Ok, on a scale of 1-10 kisses it would be an 8. This is the reason why. The shadows are fake MAC products!!! Noooooo!!! I noticed right away by the lid. I was so ready to send them back, but when you pay less than $5 per shadow what do you expect, right? 

I swatched them to see if they were chalky and to my surprise they were not. Non chalky, pigmented, and a duplicate! Ooooo yeaaaaaa!!! I'm loving it. That's the reason I gave it 8 out of 10 kisses. Check out the pics below.

From L to R: Juxt, Stars N' Rockets, Ego, Gesso

"MAC" products from Ebay. Yes, those are butterfly stickers on my laptop :p

"MAC" in Mulch. Really love this color. My new blending color.

120 palette. So sad that two of the shadows broke when I opened it. but i fixed it. Looks a little messy but its no longer a powder.

Lashes #18 from China. I like these alot. I used them in my Misty Blue FOTD

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the products I received from Ebay. Even if two of my shadows broke in my 120 palette. Of course, I repaired it with a trick I learned from YT (rubbing alcohol) and its no longer shattered. Hope you ladies and gents enjoyed the read.

Pink Kisses MUAH!!!!!!
