Trying something new

Now it may not seem like it, but when I buy makeup I truly think about what it is I'm buying. No, I never think do I need this (clearly) but I do think about how often I will use it and if it is something I would truly love, as opposed to the latest beauty craze. Throwing all that completely out the window I decided to buy bulk beauty products off of Ebay. This is completely random, I know. All I can say is it was pretty fun to purchase products without really knowing what I was going to get. That really doesn't sound fun at all, but there was some info on types and brands of products so I had at least a little bit of an idea of what I was paying for. Also, it was a great deal as I got a lot of name brand products for a fraction of the price. I've featured a few of my favorite bits here although truth be told I liked everything except maybe one or two items which I'll pass on to friends.



I love Milani bronzers, I already have one, but this was a different shade from the one I use. This one is in Radiant and is a gorgeous golden color that works great on my skin tone for an all-over bronze.


This B.Vain Blush and Highlighter in Wink is so pretty and natural and since I love blush so much I was excited to see this in my package. I've never used any B.Vain products and am not sure where to even get them so this was a fun surprise.


You know I am a fan of lip products so I was excited with how many lipsticks I received (this wasn't all of them) and I loved the range of colors I was sent. The left is NYX's Haute Melon, followed by Wet n' Wilds Cinnamon and Cashmere. Cashmere is the prettiest cool toned silvery purple color. It's something I would never pick out for myself, but it is gorgeous. Lastly, I was completely surprised at how much I liked this Milani Lip Mixer gloss in Lip Stir. It's the prettiest golden peachy shade and as far as lip glosses go it's not sticky at all.

I'm happy I decided to (rather randomly) purchase makeup this way. It was more cost effective and I got a lot of great stuff! Have you ever made a purchase like this and if so, was it a good experience?

    1. You will not be sorry haha! I love the bronzer in Radiant Light (same packaging as above but different color) it's great for bronze and contour because it's slightly cooler-toned. And the baked blushes - you know I love them! Thanks for stopping in gorgeous! Hope you are having a great week! XO -Kim

  3. The NYX lipstick looks incredible, I would love to know what you think of it! I just tried their Butter Glosses, and they are amazing. This sounds like such a cool idea to try new things!

    1. Out of all the lip products I've ever tried, NYX ones are my favorite. I love their butter glosses, their butter lipsticks and their matte lip creams. I'd never tried this formula (It's a cream which is NYX's standard lipstick) and I have to say it was just as amazing. It's super pigmented so the color is really bright and fun and it was really hydrating - my favorite kind of lipstick! I definitely say NYX lip products are the one (if I only had to pick one which, thank goodness, I don't!) Thanks for stopping in my gorgeous friend! XO -Kim
