CHEAP EBAY FINDS

Hello everyone! Firstly, I would like to apologise for my lack of blog posts for the past month or so; to say that I have been busy is probably an understatement. I have recently started a new job so alot of my usual free time has been taken up with that! 

Today, I am going to be showing you some of the cheapest beauty products that I have found on Ebay over the past week. 

This is a Beauty blender that I found on Ebay for £1.95; which I think is amazing because when you compare the price of this Beauty blender to say Real techniques which is £5.99 or to Beauty blenders own make which is £16.00, you'll find that you found yourself a bargain. 

I will be using my beauty blender to blend in my foundation and also to highlight my under eyes.

These brushes came in a set of 10, and contain 5 foundation brushes. 

1. Angled Kabuki Brush - Buffs bronzer or blusher onto the skin

2. Round Kabuki Brush - Blends mineralised powders/products onto the skin

3. Tapered Kabuki Brush- Blends foundation onto 'hard to reach' contours of the face

     4. Flat Angled Kabuki Brush - Good for concealing 'hard to reach' areas of the skin

5. Flat Kabuki Brush - Use on flat areas of the face e.g. forehead or cheeks with liquid foundation

Although it says in the description box on Ebay that these products should be used for eyeliner,

 I think that I will find better use out of them for concealing and highlighting my under eyes; and I will probably use the thinnest brush for blending/contouring my eye shadow.

The whole brush set of 10, came to £4.99!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw them on Ebay. 

I thought to myself ......'Hmm whats the catch here..maybe its from another country'' but when I checked the location it said Manchester. 

The brushes can be purchased from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121422969205?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=420359778005&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Now the brushes came in a range of different colours; black & silver, black & gold, white & gold, pink & silver, pink & gold and blue and silver. 

I decided on the black and silver because I thought they looked so classy and very similar to the Sigma brushes. The only difference being that these brushes are a fraction of the price.

I think that these brushes are great for beginners just starting out with make-up, or for individuals (like myself) who just like experimenting with make-up and trying out loads of different looks. 

I will be displaying the brush sets in these cute little candle holders which I picked up several months ago from B&M bargains.

I have heard so many different things about Pilaten's Black Head Pore Strip, that I decided to just buy them and make a decision for myself! I bought 5 strips on Ebay for £3.39 which is really inexpensive. For anyone who doesn't know how these strips work, basically you apply a thin even layer over the top of your nose and wherever else you have black heads on your skin. You leave the solution on for 10-15 minutes and after you peel it off; just like a face mask!.

 I will be dedicating a whole blog post to reviewing all of these products and many more so stay tuned for that guys! 

Thank you for reading my blog post! I hope you all enjoyed my cheap Ebay finds, comment below if you have any cheap Ebay finds that you would like to share. I'd love to hear them :)

Love you all

My Top 10 Favourite Online Shops

My Top 10 Favourite Online Shops

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

Hello Fashionistas!


Today, I thought I would do a quick post about my favourite online shops; if I find anymore I will update this.

As I work at the weekends and attend college during the week, I don't have a lot of free time to go out and shop so I do the majority of my shopping online. A lot of these websites I have found through other people and from watching YouTube channels.

1. Pretty little thing: I am sure a lot of you have already heard about this site, it's one of my top 5 favourite clothing sites. The quality of the garments is incredible and at such low prices, you'd be a fool to miss out! I especially love that the website offers 15% discount for students, helping a broke gal out. I have purchased some of the nicest play-suits from this site for less than £20.00!!!, If you love a bargain (like me ) then you should definitely check this site out.

2. Choies: This is an amazing site that sells a variety of clothing items at discounted prices.
I think that this clothing company is based in China (forgive me if I am wrong) so unless you're a patient customer then bare this in mind when ordering! I have watched so many online shopping hauls and this store is frequently mentioned by people from the UK, US, AUS etc. This shop offers free shipping worldwide which I think is amazing because I have splashed out so much money on shipping items aboard and it takes forever to arrive!.

3. Sheinside: Like Choies, Sheinside is based in China. Sheinside items are often discounted but are of very good quality!. I have had no issues with items being delivered (some people have complained about their's being lost in the post)
The garments look exactly the same as they do on the site.
 I would advise you all to be aware of the clothing sizes- because they are from China they may come up a lot smaller in person, so for example if you're a UK size 8 (S) then you may have to order a size 10/12 (M) on the site.

4. Ebay!: Everyone's obviously heard of Ebay, its one of the most popular shopping websites out there! I usually buy gadgets and things for my phone on it, however quite recently I was watching (TheVintageVision)'s YouTube videos on Ebay Fashion Dupes and was inspired to hunt down some little fashion gems.

5. Simply Different: This is more of a jewellery shop, for those accessories mad shoppers. There are SO many different indie/vintage jewellery shops online at the moment ( deadseajewellery& crimsonjewellery) to name a few. Simply different is one of my favourite stores, it is so affordable and I've ordered so many necklaces and rings from the site. They always wrap them up in cute little gift bags with sequins inside them and usually include a thank you note for shopping with them, which I think is so nice.

6. Bank: Now I know that Bank has a high street store as well as an online one, but I have only just recently discovered it. I stumbled upon it (online) by accident and haven't looked back! It reminds me a bit of Asos (which is also a fabulous store) in the sense that it is one big store that offers loads of different brands for example Superdry and Lipsy. One of my favourite brands is Blonde&Blonde because the clothes are very fashionable (very indie and bohemian) but also casual (tartan & basic tees).

7. Etsy: Etsy is a quirky online store that sells everything and anything you would ever possibly need, and more. From handmade vintage garments to mobile phone accessories; you are bound to find something that catches your eye on this site. The best thing about Etsy is that it sells products from all over the world, so it is very unlikely your friends will have the same jewellery,clothes etc as you.

8. Forever 21: Unfortunately the nearest Forever 21 store to me is in Bristol so instead of travelling all the way there, I usually shop online. Forever 21 is unbelievably affordable and so fashionable! It is one of my top 5 online clothing stores that I often spend hours browsing through.

9. Miss Pap: I discovered Miss Pap a long time ago and have bought alot of dresses/playsuits from them. The quality of the dresses is good, however I have had one issue with the website. I ordered a sweet heart neckline little black dress thinking that it would look the same on the model as it would on me (big mistake!), I tried the dress on and it was too big on the boob area and made me look slightly chubbs....ain't nobody got time fo' dat!! So obviously I returned the item but I had to pay for the delivery and the refund took 2 weeks to process so I ended up spending a lot more than I anticipated. OTHER THAN THIS I have had NO trouble with the site, so please do not be disheartened/ put off by this because the garment was nice it just didn't suit me haha.

10. Romwe: I am yet to order something off this site, due to it being a US site and I can't be dealing with waiting a month+ for delivery. The garments on the site are gorgeous and I have eyed up so many nice coats that I have mentally bought haha. After Xmas I will be sure to check out this store to see if any of the coats I want have been discounted then I will order one. If you like online stores that are quirky and different then, this one may be for you!!

I said at the start of this post that it was going to be 'quick' however it took me well over an hour to write this haha, I wanted to carefully select the best websites for you all whilst watching the vampire diaries which isn't a good combination because admittedly it distracted me.

Hope you are all well, thank-you so much for taking the time to read my blog it means alot.
