Undisclosed Desires In Your Heart
Last week I bought some new makeup from eBay. At first I was a little bit worried about buying it.. you don't know what could be in it haha! But, after looking at the feedback and the comments I decided it was worth a shot. I'm obsessed with Benefit - I just love the packaging and the vintage feel of it all, not so much the pricetag though. I've had the BadGal lash mascara, the lipgloss and BeneTint, and my staple, the Brow-zings eyebrow box which I think I could die without. It's amazing! I'm saving up to buy a new SLR, so I was going to cut down on little things like buying nice makeup and stuff, so had a little look online. And found this..
Mac False Lash Effect Mascara - £4.50 (with £2 postage) Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer - £3.50 (with £2 postage)
The reason they were so cheap is because they are factory faults. Like the packaging or the printing is slightly wrong so they are unsellable - but I can't notice any difference! The products themselves are perfect.
I have tiny weenie eyes and literally no eyelashes and this is amazing! Saying that, it REALLY hurts when you get it in your eye...
I this is a really irrelevant post, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves getting good makeup really cheap! The link is Here for the mascara but just click see sellers other items, there are other Benefit things for sale too.
P.s, buying a new SLR, anyone got any good recommendations? My budget is about £800-850 x Labels: Beauty, Benefit, eBay, Mac, Makeup

This is such a good idea! Totally doing it. May I ask why you're buying a new SLR? x

Thankyou! I'm selling my old SLR, and i've decided to buy a new one because i've saved up for ages and decided that it will be definitely worth spending that bit extra x

I dont mean to sound horrible because I almost bought benefit from ebay about a year ago but soooo many of them are fakes. They descirbe them as factory faults as they're printed (usually in china) and it's a good excuse for any differences to the real deal. I read this which swayed me http://www.makeupsavvy.co.uk/2010/06/benefit-fakery-how-to-spot-fake.html
I guess its ok if you buy beenfit soley for the packaging but if its made in china/any other country it could have any sort of chemicals in it and no one would know.
I really don't mean to rain on your parade or anything but benefit is such an awesome brand and these fakey sellers annoy me - i got conned buying a fake abercrombie on a website ages ago which said it was american, but my credit card bill came from china : (
