eBay Powder Contouring Palette

eBay £5.19

I've always had a little bit of an obsession with the contouring Kim Kardashian's makeup artist achieves. I just wanted a palette to play around with so decided to pick this one up from eBay for just over a fiver. It contains six large completely matte shades from white through to a dark brown. These are really powdery and aren't overly pigmented but they can be built up where you want them and for practising they work quite well as you can't sweep in with streaks all over the face straight away. For the price this is a good little addition to my make-up stash as each shade is less than £1 you can't really complain. It's a good way of playing about a bit and working out what colours and shades would be worth investing in a better quality brand for. I've since ordered a similar palette but with creme based shades which I think will be much more fun to play with however I'm definitely glad I picked this up it's a fun palette to give contouring a go and the shades are really versatile and neutral too so are good for eye looks and bases too.

Push The Button - eBay Pump Bottles

2x 150ml push pump bottles £1.69 eBay

When I read Lily's post (etc llymlrs) on eBay mini push pump bottles I immediately clicked and purchased. I narrowly avoided buying the Bioderma pump bottle and I'm quite glad I avoided this as these are so much cuter and cheaper. I've put my cleanser in one and my nail varnish remover in one. I can't wait to make labels for them with my label maker as they sit so neatly on my dresser. These aren't necessary but they are so handy it's fun to have them lined up on my dresser and they are so accessible and handy when your ever so sleepy in the evenings or morning.

Owl Satchel £7 delivered // Wayfarer Sunglasses 99p 

I have ALOT of bargains heading my way from the land of eBay that I'll be sharing soon but I just couldn't wait to share these little gems. I'm a little obsessed with this little owl satchel it's absolutely adorable and I can't go anywhere without someone asking where it's from! It's only mini but fits all the daytime essentials and is perfect for the spring! I also broke my sunglasses recently and as I break them far too often I decided to pick up some cheap wayfarer shades to get me through the summer. For only 99p a pair you really can't go wrong. I'd adore a pair of Ray Bans but these are far more purse friendly. I can't wait to share all my other buys on here soon I've seriously got the eBay bug again!

One of best sets of presents I have ever gotten is when my boyfriend visited India a few years ago and bought back crazy amounts of hair clips, jewellery and cute little note books. I loved every single thing in the package and it took me so long opening up all of the little parcels. Seen as though my nearest and dearest don't go away to these exotic places to pick up bargains all that often I find eBay the next best thing. I'm very fickle when it comes to jewellery so these little bargains tick all the boxes for me. I also find that no matter how much I spend on costume style jewellery rings they always make my fingers go green so I'd much rather grab something for a pound than the £9 on the high street. Loving the vintage look to all of these pieces!

I've wanted to do this post for ages now because I've seen so much nail art stuff on the high street recently and I'm just like 'its all about eBay' some of the above items probably look familiar as I have seen them re-branded by quite a lot recently. I've bought every item listed so I can vouch for them and I just think if your messing about with nail art or want to try some designs out - eBay is most definitely the answer. Can't wait to get a little bit more time to do some more designs soon :)

I don't normally do fashion on here - but I think this is a little more bargains than fashion particularly. Not that I'm not into it or anything its just my style is extremely dull - I stick to the same kind of items and style so it doesn't really have a place here. If you haven't noticed I'm a little bit poor at the moment and I also have a few post dissertation holidays planned so finding some new summer buys have to be cheap and multi-functional! 

I've found I do ALOT of my shopping on eBay at the moment. It's all about planning - obviously if you need to go out that night eBay isn't the place but if you want some basics its a must have site. I own most of the items listed here - although different colour variation are on my wish list right now - so I can vouch for them, don't expect high end crazy quality but they do the trick. Simple multi-use items that will see you through many many events! I thought I'd share my favourites above with you as I've found the exact same items on the high street for sometimes 4 times the price and the stores logo sewn into the back. 

Does anyone else find use eBay for basics?

Crazily I actually have lots more to put on but I don't have time today so have decided to do it in two hits! Also the post office lady gets crazy angry at lots of parcels (which is ironic really as it's her job - but I don't want to anger her she has the power of my parcels) so I thought this might soften the blow for her.

All items start at 99p :) 

Scrabble Jewellery.

I saw Scrabble rings on Amelia Lily - X Factor a few weeks ago and just immediately fell in love with it. 

I've always had a thing for name necklaces since that episode of Sex and the City when Carrie loses hers in Paris, however my long name has always meant they split very soon after purchase. So when I saw this neat idea using scrabble pieces I fell in love a little bit. 

My necklace is from eBay by a seller called crafty emily and it came so beautifully packaged and wrapped that I had to mention her. You can buy any letter on different necklace chain lengths here 

I actually love it so much I've ordered a ring with my G scrabble piece on too!
