Ebay Palette Review - 88 Warm Palette

I’ve seen so many of these palettes floating around on blogs and Youtube but never took the plunge in buying one. I know they are really cheap but I had low expectations of them with their extremely low price. After much deliberation I decided to take the plunge and buy one from Ebay. I purchased it from a UK seller so it would get to me quickly and that it certainly did. I ordered Wednesday night and it arrived on the Friday. 

Unfortunately as the shadows are quite delicate and Royal Mail aren’t a few of the shadows smashed. I’m not too fussed though as there are loads to choose from and a couple shadows are quite similar so I don’t feel too bad about this. 

The palette cost me a whopping £6.25 and that included delivery. This to me is absolute madness, madness I tell you!  This works out at just over 7p per shadow. I don’t even know how this is possible.

The first thing I have to say is that I am in love with this palette. It really is truly amazing and I will be buying the others they have also, they do some brights and shimmers etc and I will be getting all of them. 

I’ve done some swatches below for you, you can see how pigmented these are, they are really soft so there is quite a bit of fallout but for 7p an eyeshadow can you complain? 

  These are just a couple I chose at random, look at that black! I find it really difficult to find a really good matt black from any brand including high end brands and this one is so good, it really is incredibly black. The other colours are beautiful too, there is a good mix of matt and shimmers. There is also plenty of highlight colours, browns, taupes and a few really nice colours thrown in. There are so many looks you can do with this palette. I have been using it for a very neutral base but quite a strong crease colour and it blends perfectly, dare I even say better than my Urban Decay which has recently been neglected due to me finding a lot more affordable brands that I find better quality. Yes, I know this may be considering swearing in the make up world but in my opinion its true :-) 

You can find these palettes all over Ebay, if you type in 88 palette or 120 palette it will bring up lots of results for these.

What do you think of these palettes? Are you sceptical at the price or do you actually own one? I would love to know your thoughts!

Everyday Make Up Box

I thought I would do a quick post on my everyday make up box. This is what I keep out for my everyday make up look, I have an Ikea Helmer in my wardrobe which stores all my make up that only gets used occasionally. If you see anything here that you would like a review or swatches of please comment below and I will be more than happy to do a post for you.

This is my box, it was a super cheap buy from good ol’ Argos and cost a mere £29.99, it’s the perfect size to fit in all my essentials and works perfectly for me.

 

It has 4 sliding compartments and then a larger compartment at the bottom.

The 4 sliding sections are separated into areas of the face as much as possible, unfortunately as I have more of some things than others some products are slowly taking over other sections but I  can still see everything so that’s all that matters.

In the large ,it pretty much stores everything that is too big to fit into the sections, palettes, brushes, moisturisers and brushes. 

Here is my everyday brush collection. I have these in here in a bag and my other brushes live in a container on my dressing table. I don’t own any Mac brushes or any expensive brushes, all of mine are really cheap or really reasonably priced, they work great for me so I don’t feel the need to spend lots of money on super expensivo brushes.

I have my Real techniques brushes

 

 My Crown brushes

My Eco Tools Brushes

 

My ELF brushes

and a few Models Own brushes

These are the brushes I use most of the time and I think each one is excellent, I own a couple more from each of these brands but they just didn’t quite make the cut to the everyday box :-)

Next we have another bag which contains samples of skincare products that I have received in beauty boxes. I am trying my best to make my way through them but I get so many that its difficult to keep up.

 

Finally as you can see here this is all my random shizzle at the bottom, it includes my Naked 2 palette, Bobbi Brown Antiqua palette, MUA Artiste palette, Urban Decay palette, Sleek palette just to name a few.

  

I hope you enjoyed taking a little look into my make up, I know I love looking at other peoples collections. If you’ve done this kind of post or similar please link below, I’m extremely nosy and would love to take a look!
