BLOG SALE

I have deleted my old blog sale post so this doesn't get confusing, and if I do add more items, it will all be on this post so it's easier to link that way.

 How the rules will work:

1.  You must be 18 or older or ask permission from your parents (because I will need your address).
2. You need a Paypal account (it's the easiest and safest and quickest way to pay)
3. To reserve an item, leave a comment below with the product you want and what country you live in (this is international, I just need to figure out the exact shipping for your country).
4. Once I have put a crossthrough the item, it has been spoken for and is no longer available.
5. I will send items within a week of purchase, and when I email you about shipping, I'll let you know around how long it should take to get there.
6. I'd prefer sales be over $10 (so two or more small items), but they don't have to be over $10.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL THESE PRODUCTS ARE USED, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. SO EVEN THOUGH I KEEP THEM RELATIVELY CLEAN, I SUGGEST DISINFECTING THEM WHEN YOU GET THEM IN CASE OF ALLERGENS.

OKAY! Let's get to them products.

The Balm Shady Lady Vol. 2 Palette (used 4-5 times)

$10

 Urban Decay Baked Bronzer (used ~ 10 times)

$10

Review and Swatches: MUA Lipsticks

In the package I got from my lovely friend Kathy (known as justkissmyfrog on the internets), and I just realized how much I love these two things she included in the package.

MakeUp Academy (or MUA) is a pretty cheap brand (as in £1 per eyeshadow) that you can only get in the UK. I'm not sure if they just carry it at Boots or wherever else. I've only found out about the brand on YouTube, since I've never been to the UK. *sadface*

But while these lipsticks are cheap as hell, they are quite lovely. They have a similar texture as NYX lipsticks, so they melt easily. However, they are nicely pigmented, long-lasting for the price, and have no smell.

The colors Kathy gave me from Shade 7 and Shade 11. At first I though 11 was a 2, because for some stupid reason I was thinking they listed them in Roman Numerals, but it is indeed Shade 11.

Really, they could eliminate all this confusion with some damn names.

The first is Shade 7, which is a peachy pink coral color, similar to Nars Niagara. I wouldn't call it a dupe mainly because I don't own Niagara, but from what I've looked at it's very similar.



Oh, I also dyed my hair the other night. You like the red? I can going for Amy Pond, but ended up form Florence Welch. Nothing against Florence, it just wasn't what I was going for.



The next shade is Shade 11, which is a mauvey coral color. It's very difficult to describe, because it has pink, mauve, and coral, and even a bit of brown in there. But you can see for yourself if my description is helpful at all.



I hope you guys liked this! My blog sale is still plenty open, except the crossed out items have been spoken for. I'd like to get rid of as much stuff as possible, so take a look at my blog sale please! And make me swap offers too, I love swapping.

Also, I think I'm going to start a blog sale this weekend. I am going through all the things I don't need - including clothes and makeup - and looking for good homes. I won't be selling the clothes here, but expect a bunch of cosmetics up for sale this weekend at some point. Lots of Revlon lipstick, and couple of Mac lipsticks, some eyeshadow, a foundation, and completely unused liquid eyeliner and mascara. Literally - never used the stuff.

Cheers!
