Hi everyone,
When i first started freelancing eBay was a life saver because i was able to get my hands on things that were essential for my kit yet didn't break the bank. I still order and use some of those things today and i thought i'd share with you those items.
M.A.C 217 Blending Brush £18.00 ~ Left , Emily Pro 217 Blending Brush £2.48 ~ Right
I've never really bought brushes off eBay but when i first started makeup i knew i'd need blending brushes but i couldn't afford to spend £18 on one brush! I found these dupes and i'm using them in my kit to this day! As you can see by the photo they are very similar. The M.A.C brush is better in design and shape but look at that price difference! You really can't beat that! They both work exactly the same and i've never noticed the Emily Pro shedding enough hairs to worry me.
Handmade Eyelashes £2.77, Brown Natural False Eyelashes £4.34, Blue Eyelashes £2.01, 5 Different Styles Brown & Black £2.01, Ardell Duralash Individual Eyelashes £2.99.
I love buying false eye lashes off ebay you never really know what your getting till they arrive haha If i do fall in love with a particular box buy in bulk because i've made the mistake where i left it too long before the next order and couldn't find them again. I tend to order handmade lashes as they look more natural, i also keep an eye out for lashes with a clear band as this makes them easier to apply. Normally in a box you get 10 pairs of lashes sometimes 5 for less than a £10 considering 1 pair in Boots costs around the £4 mark that's amazing! I also order individuals off eBay as i can get short and medium in bulk. I've linked some of my favorite lashes above to give you some idea what i like ordering.
I love these pointed 100% Cotton Makeup Buds £3.95 for 100. They make smudging out eyeliner, eye shadow easy and also cleaning up small mistakes.
Rubbing Alcohol 70% IPA £2.59
I always carry this in my case so i can disinfect brushes if i need to when working from model to model. I never use this to wash my brushes tho as it's very drying and will cause hair breakage to my brushes that are made of natural fibers eg Goat, Sable.
I've been ordering these off eBay since the beginning. I've yet to find a better deal in the shops or another website. They have a great brush head that isn't too big or small i'm currently waiting for more to be delivered.
Searching through eBay can be time consuming if your not sure what your looking for so i really hope this helps.
If you have any eBay favourites i'd love to hear about them.
♡
Until next time
