A few weeks ago i ordered a bit of NYX Makeup from Ebay... it arrived a couple of days ago and i had completely forgot it... so it was like recieving a present :) Exciting!
I got two eyeshadow palettes from The Runway Collection, five slim lip liner pencils and a pack of blotting papers.
The palette on the left is called 'Secret World' and the one on the right is 'Catwalk' these both retail at around £9 on UK websites, such as Cocktail Cosmetics etc... however i got two for £10 on Ebay (from the USA) minus postage. (Which for all of the items was about £7).
These are the swatches for the 'Secret World' palette, all the colours are shimmery, some more than others, and they are all well pigmented and blend nicely.
These are the swatches for the Catwalk palette, again, all the colours have some shimmer to them and blend nicely. For some reason the bottom row of shadows in the palette were more pigmented than the top (the five colours on the right) which i found a tad strange, but oh well the colours are still lovely and wearable.
Slim Lip pencils, from left to right, Cabaret, Fuschia, Pinky, Natural and Nude Pink.
These retail on UK websites for about £3 each which is still pretty cheap, but i managed to get five for £6 on Ebay... AMAZING :)
I wouldn't say that these are the best lip liners ever, but they are nicely pigmented and quite creamy in texture... However i would have liked them to be a little bit softer as i have dry lips and they dragged a little. But if you warm them up on the back of your hand for a short while before applying, they are fine... definately worth the money anyway!
Finally the blotting papers, i havn't tried these yet, but i presume they will be the same as any other blotting papers (which absorb excess oil from the face, for anyone that doesn't know) well i hope so anyway... and these retail at around £4 on UK websites and i got them for £2 on Ebay.
So i got all of this for just over £25 (inc postage)...which i think is a bloomin' good bargin myself!
