100 things I've bought online Part 2

There are short reviews of makeup and beauty products that I've bought on ebay in the past two years.

Makeup and beauty products


1.       Fake Galaxy chic Palette 7.82$


I remember how excited I was when I got it. It was my first ever eBay purchase. I have a whole post on it, comparing it to the Real Galaxy Chic palette. I’ve checked, and seems like it is no longer for sale anywhere. I’ve used it a few times, I still am planning to use it, but now I just have so many better palettes that I rarely reach for it.

Worth The Money? Not really

Rating: 6/10



2.       Coral Matte lipstick 1.28$


A bit dry, natural color, very cool, sleek packaging. Looks great on lips and on my vanity.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 9/10



3.       Purple Vampire Lipstick 1.25$


Very moisturizing, glossy finish, buildable color. I expected a little different shade when I was ordering, more of a dark purple but it turned out even better, when I got dark purple/pink.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 9/10



4.       Fake Mac Lipstick 1.43$


Very dry. Wearable, but not comfortable worn alone on the lips. But it makes up in vanity/decoration department. I only bought it as a decoration after all.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10




5.       Fake Limecrime Liquid Lipstick 0.99$


Very drying, but boy oh boy it’s long lasting. I never got too much into the liquid matte lipstick craze, so I never wear it now. I’m glad I've tried it, but it wasn't for me.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 7/10



6.       Blue Jelly Lipstick 1.45$


This is the type of makeup product that fits your natural ph or some shit like that. It looked very cute and pink on my sister and very red/coral on me. Also I didn't like that it was drying out my lips. It reminded me more of a stain than a lip balm. I gave it to my sister and she loves it.

„I love it! Perfect shade, looks nice on the counter, putting it on is just like experiencing magic. It‘s long lasting, still perfect, but it has lost the writing on the tube.“ – Sister.

Worth The Money? For me, no, for my sister, apparently yes.

7.       NYC eyeshaddow palette 3.03$


Very nice shades. Very soft formula. The brand is not available in my country, so I was glad to find it on ebay.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


8.       Holographic nail glitter powder 0.99$


It was more of a chunky glitter, than holographic powder. I’ve used it a few times.
Worth The Money? Yes, if you want holo glitter. No if you want holo effect powder.

Rating: 5/10


9.       Tony Moly Cat’s wink Compact 5.85$


Surprisingly light, very soft, doesn’t get cakey when  use it to set my under-eye makeup. The packaging is so cute. Also it smells really nice.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10



10.   Technic strobe kit 3.86$


A dupe for Sleek Solstice palette. Got this from a Uk seller along with other Technic items.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 8/10


11.   Technic highlighter 3.35$


Very soft, pink highlight, the intense glitter is just an over-spray, after a few swipes it’s gone, and all you’re left with is a subtle pink glow.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 9/10


12.   Technik 6 baked eyeshaddow palette 3.91$


Amazing! Very pigmented, very metallic, very cheap. Beats some more expensive metallic eyeshadows I’ve tried.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


13.   Kylie highlighter red 2.41$


Obviously, it’s a fake. It would be hard to pull this off as a highlighter, but I use it as an eyeshadow.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10

14.   Kylie Highlighter Gold 2.41$


Just a classic gold highlight.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


15.   Sleek I-lust Diamons in the rough eyeshaddow palette 12.67$


I’m working on a full review of it. Consider this a sneak peak.

Worth The Money? Yes (even though it’s expensive)

Rating: 10/10



16.   9in1 mixing bowl set 1.41$


Probably one of the most useful things I’ve bought so far. I use it every day. The sponge is very good for washing face, bowl, spatula and brush are very handy for mixing and applying face masks and little bottles are good for storage of any leftover products.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


17.   Heart shaped contour brush 1.57$


I was never very good at contour and I feel that this brush helps out me a lot.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10



18.   Leather cigarette case 2.20$


I got this as a DIY makeup palette. Haven’t used it yet. I've added tiny magnets to hold individual eyeshadow pans inside.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 9/10


19.   Highlighter brush 1.05


Helpful. Before getting this, I didn’t have a brush to apply highlight with. Picks up the powder well.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


20.   Silk heart / rectangle mirrors 2.08-2.99$


I initially got these to DIY makeup palettes out of them, but even if I were to take the mirrors out, there wouldn’t be enough space for eyeshaddow pans. Those are very pretty mirrors, but I was a bit disappointed by their size.

Worth The Money? No

Rating: 6/10




21.   7 metal blackhead removal tool set 3.10$


Believe it, for someone who pick their face until it bleeds, this might be a savior. It makes any zit/blackhead removal way easier.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 8/10



22.   Electric face brush 3.07$


It is a very interesting little gadget. It works well, I got it very cheap compared to local store price and I do find it useful. The only thing I wish it had different is that it could have rougher heads for face and skin exfoliating, the ones that it came with are little too soft.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 9/10



23.   12 eyeshadow brush set 3.35$


I can’t speak highly enough about these. Very useful. The only problem is that the bristles get stained after I use red eyeshaddow even after washing it shows, but rose gold brushes look better than plain black.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


24.   Velvet Makeup pouch 1.89$


I gave it as a present to my sister. She likes it, but I expected a bit better material. It looked like velvet but didn’t feel like velvet if you know what I mean.

„Good size, got a little discolored and damaged by water. Very useful for traveling.“ – Sister.

Worth The Money? No

Rating: 5/10


25.   Charcoal face mask 4.80$


It smelled very pleasant, it dried vell, very thick, lasted me very long. I used it at least once a week with my sister. Does it clean pores? A little. It’s more about the fun and not the results, with this product.

„Painful to peel, dries nice and fast, the best mask ever because it works.“ – Sister.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 9/10


26.   7 pcs Metallic Brush Set 5.31$


Amazing brushes, especially one’s intended for face. I got a set for myself and my sister too. Way better than the other set I've bought before.
„Super soft and nice, may not use the smaller brushes as much, but they all are very nice
after many washes still very soft. I use them every day.“ –Sister.

Rating: 10/10


27.   Silicone face brush pad 0.77$


I use it for makeup brush cleaning and face exfoliation. Very useful. Consider it Foreo Luna dupe only 200 times cheaper.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10



28.   8 Pink face and eye makeup brush set 6.95$


Again, I have a post all about this particular set. These brushes lasted me quite a long time. I still use them every time I do my makeup, but now I’m looking into purchasing better brush set. Now you can get the same set for under 5$.

Worth The Money? Only if it is under 5$

Rating: 7/10


29.   Silk Shower Cap 1.67$


I use it every day that I don’t wash my hair in the shower. Very useful.

Worth The Money? Yes

Rating: 10/10


30.   Brown Wig 5.59$


Beautiful. Got it for Halloween, but sadly it didn’t come in time, actually it never came and I had to ask the seller to send it again, but when I eventually got it I was very happy. I still might use it this Halloween.

Worth The Money?  Yes, very much. I always thought that wigs were expensive and I could never afford one, but I do! It is very cheap and looks natural and cute.

Rating: 10/10



  I hope you've enjoyed the part 2. Part 3 - storage and decor is coming very soon.
