ebay-finds-on-trend-2018

For this week's eBay post I decided to go in search of 'on trend' items! Now I'm aware that a lot of people dislike the whole 'millennial' trend but I decided to take inspiration from it here because I personally like the aesthetics of lots of current products right now - from fashion to interiors.

Below you will find a good mix of products from as little as £1.00!

cheap-makeu-brushes-ebay-finds

I don't know about you but recently I've felt like Spring has been in the air (halleluiah!) on the odd day that is. This has led me to organise my makeup collection (I wrote a post on it here) and having a cull of my makeup brush collection.

So I thought it was the time I shared some more eBay makeup brushes as I'm currently adding a few new sets to my own collection. Below you will find brushes from as little as £1-2 to no more than £7 which really is incredible as some of these sets contain a lot of makeup brushes and appear really nice quality!

NOTE: If you are new to buying brushes/items from eBay or my eBay finds it's worth noting that a few of the listing below are from China sellers. You will not get charged any customs fees, however, patience is a must as delivery can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks.

PIN FOR LATER!

1. Chrome Shell Contour Brush (£1.56) HERE
Although the fish version of this brush (here) is cute I think I prefer this one, especially for the pink chrome finish. The brush also comes in quite a few shapes for contouring with or applying foundation. A cheap little pick that I love!

2. 10-Piece Pink & Blue Ombre Brush Set (£5.41) HERE
While vibrant brushes sets aren't normally my thing this set really caught my eye as it has Zoeva vibes with the rose gold ferrules and light pink handles but the touch of blue just adds something extra. You also receive a nice mix of brushes here with five face brushes and five eyeshadow brushes. A really good value brush set.

3. 3-Piece Rose Gold Metallic Brush Set (£5.49) HERE
Honestly, anything rose gold jumps out at me especially when it's beauty related. So I had to include this set of 3 brushes. I already own the large powder brush but with a metallic silver finish (far left) and it's beyond soft and wonderful quality. If you are wanting to update some of your larger face brushes this is the set to consider!

4. Chrome Mermaid Foundation Brush (£1.59) HERE
Another mermaid inspired brush here but one that's a little more grown-up with an interesting gold/silver ombre effect I'm never seen before. It also helps that it's an absolute bargain! 

5. 11-Piece Rose Gold Duo Fibre Makeup Brush Set (£3.96) HERE
Back to rose gold with this stunning set at an incredible price point. I mean really how can these brushes be only 36p each?! As I'm after some new eyeshadow brushes and love a fan brush I think I will be snapping this set up once I'm done writing this post. The set also comes in an icy blue/pink finish and you can also pick up the fan brush separately for only 99p, all within the same listing.

6. 12-Piece Silver Metallic Blending Makeup Brush Set (£6.88) HERE
This is another set I'm considering as I love a metallic silver finish and the fibres of these look densely packed and soft. Should I get these? I think so! 

7. Retractable Makeup Brushes (£3.99 each) HERE
Onto a bit of an unusual find now with a range of interesting looking retractable brushes. Now I haven't got a clue about the quality but both the orange ferrule brush and the pink-topped brush look interesting and something different. Also ideal if you want to put a powder brush in your bag without it getting damaged. 

8. 9-Piece Mini Makeup Blending Sponges (£2.69) HERE
For the past year I've been using a set of mini makeup sponges from Primark that are similar to the Beauty Blender ones but last time I checked they had stopped doing them! But thankfully I found a good alternative which includes lots of different shapes. A nice little bargain here.

9. 4-Piece Mermaid Makeup Brush Set (£2.45) HERE
Another mermaid inspired brush set that really does look lovely. Again the set includes a fan brush which always comes in handy and three nice looking eyeshadow blending brushes. 

10. 10-Piece Face & Eyes Marble Brush Set (£5.66) HERE
A bit of a dupe here as these look very similar to the Lily England Marble Luxe Makeup Brush Set but without the £45 price tag! I love the combination of the bronze ferrules with the marble design - really very nice. Another total bargain for ten full-size brushes.

11. 10-Piece Zoeva Style Makeup Brush Set (£3.99) HERE
A nearly all eye makeup brush set here that looks very similar to Zoeva brushes. These are a good mix of natural and synthetic fibres and are ultra-affordable! 

12. 5-Piece Oval Makeup Brush Set with Stand (£7.76) HERE
If you are looking for beyond soft brushes then you can't go wrong with oval brushes. Not only are they the softest of brushes but they blend liquid product especially foundation really well. I also like that this set comes with a stand which would also be handy for when they are drying after being washed.

13. 7-Piece Glitter Brush Set with Pouch (£7.50) HERE
Although this brush set isn't my style I wanted to include them as they look like an ideal set for a teenager especially as they come with a cute pouch to store them in. I couldn't tell from the listing if the glitter inside moves but if it does then these are some magical brushes! 

14. 12-Piece Rose Gold Pink Makeup Brush Set (£6.26) HERE
Lastly, another good brush set that caters to both face and eye makeup. I really like the combination of the rose gold ferrules with the pink handles and love the look of the thick foundation style brush. 

top-makeup-storage-ideas

Earlier this week I shared a makeup storage solution (in this post here) I picked up from eBay that's greatly helped me keep my dressing table tidy, something that doesn't come easy as a naturally untidy person! This got me thinking about makeup storage ideas in general as I an update of my own is needed. 

So after having a look on eBay and finding so many amazing new storage solutions I thought I'd share them here! Below you will find not only makeup storage solutions but nail polish storage solutions that I think will help me get organised in that area as well! 


Since really getting into makeup I've spent endless hours searching the internet for tidy dressing table solutions in hope of ridding myself of my messy habits that always leave my makeup collection looking like it's been ambushed! 

I know I'm not alone in keeping my makeup table tidy without tidying up every time I apply makeup. Especially when I leave getting ready until the last minute or have somewhere to be. It just seems impossible!

However, I finally think I've come up with an answer for all the women that possess enough foundation to last them a lifetime and an endless array of lipsticks. Read on to find my #1 solution for a tidy dressing table every time you apply makeup!

While Pinterest is a fabulous place to waste time procrastinating over what your dream home would look like it's not the most ideal place to shop from. Along with eye-watering prices for homeware pieces, I'm often disappointed most items are US based. So today I thought I'd bring you a bunch of budget-friendly and accessible homeware finds inspired by Pinterest!

ebay-budget-stationery-2018

Like many, a new year for me means new plans and goals, so what better time to up my stationery game with foiled motivational stickers, a new planner and basically anything that will look pretty on my desk. But with Christmas just behind me I personally don't want to spend too much hence my first eBay Bargains post of the year! Here you will find some fab stationery buys from only 99p! 


ebay-cheap-christmas-gifts


With my Christmas gift guides just around the corner I thought I'd first pull together an eBay gifts round-up for those that are looking for stocking fillers or simply want to spend less! 

Everything here is under £5 and includes free delivery (UK listings only!). I really hope you like my picks as I personally think everything here looks much more expensive than it is.



When it comes to makeup brushes I'm well aware that not everyone wants a 'collection' but rather a small number of brushes that will do the job and be of use.

Though I'm the total opposite with over 40+ makeup brushes on my dressing table at any one time it does mean I'm able to recommend good individual brushes that are not only very affordable but good quality.

Below I have selected five makeup brushes I'd recommend to anyone that for the most part, bar the Spectrum brush, I have been using for years. I hope this can be of help to anyone wanting to pick up a few more brushes or is looking to update their stash!


As we are less than two months away from Christmas I thought it was time for my annual Christmas decorations from eBay post!

Due to most items being incredibly cheap and with free delivery, for the most part, they are from China. This does take longer than UK post, hence why I'm writing this in good time, however, I do find the items get delivered much sooner than stated on the listing, often taking around 3 weeks. Basically, rest assured everything here will get delivered before December.

Hope you find a few inexpensive festive treats here!

Before I enter bargain gift territory as Christmas seems to be fast approaching I thought I would do one last homeware eBay post - because I love doing them and I actually buy quite a bit for my home from eBay. In fact, I've already snapped up 4 items in this post already! 

So without further ado here are a few more homeware bargains perfect for an interior refresh...




With a huge love of finding bargains on eBay I thought it was time I put all my favourite ultra budget finds in one place! 

Below you will find 40 amazing bargains from stylish stationery to some of my favourite makeup brushes, all for under £2 with free delivery. Perfec as a little treat or adding to your watch list until payday!




For the longest time, I've been a fan of Models Own nail polishes. They apply with ease, come in endless shades and last well both on the nails and in terms of product longevity. I love them that much I have around 50+ Model Own shades! 

At normally £4.99 each they are pretty mid-price for nail polish and when a shade I like comes out I'm happy to pick it up. However, when browsing eBay last week I came across an amazing offer I just couldn't resist.




From the leaves turning to cosy evenings, Autumn is without a doubt my favourite season. So right now I'm in my element, looking forward to things to come, including all the autumnal blog posts I have planned!

ebay-finds-cheap-blog-props
If you're a blogger then I'm pretty sure you will always be on the lookout for new flat lay props! But often nice props can get expensive and inexpensive gap fillers can be hard to find. So I thought I'd create an eBay round-up solving both of these problems.

Hope you find some backdrop bargains here!

Gold Stork Scissors £3.49 
Why have normal scissors when you can have stork scissors, right? Perfect for any crafter or desk perfectionist these golden scissors are some truly Pinterest worthy. Super cheap and from a UK seller. 



By now I think it's been established that I'm a total eBay addict! I'm obsessed with creating my weekly eBay bargain posts, buying everything and anything for my home from there (even my bed!) and having more eBay makeup brushes than I know what to do with!

So I thought it was finally time to sit down and share with you the makeup brush sets and individual brushes worth buying from eBay. For the most part, eBay makeup brushes are amazing quality, especially for the price, but there are ones to be avoided so hopefully this post will steer you in the right direction!


If you've read Makeup Savvy for any length of time them I'm sure you will know about my love of eBay! I try to share weekly eBay bargain posts and often find myself searching for more bargains in-between. 

Although I always make sure to seek out reputable sellers with clear stock images there's nothing like seeing what an item truly looks like. So today I thought I would share some of my favourite ultra bargain buys. These are items that haven't cost me much at all but I've got lots of use from so I really felt the need to share them!

Mason Jar String Fairy Lights £11.69 
Possibly the nicest string lights I've ever come across! These can either be strung up like in the above image or used like normal string/fairy lights. Perfect for down the side of shelving or a bookcase or even in the kitchen. These are also over 60cm in length and battery operated!

Indoor/Outdoor Rope Plant Pot Hangers £1.77-£2.41
Forget pricey Urban Outfitter plant pot hangers! If you love plants and fancy creating an indoor jungle then hanging your favourite trailing plants and succulents in a good way to go about it. These come in two different designs and include colourful beads for extra decoration.

Pair of Metallic Tealight Candle Holders £7.99
Aren't these cute? From unicorns to cactus and of course pineapples this listing contains some lovely tealight candle holders. Other than the on-trend designs I really like that the inside on the holders are a metallic mirrored finish as when a tealight is lit inside it will give off such a glow and really highlight whichever design you go for. Really love these!

Industrial Concrete Base Copper Lamp £14.99
Another item that you wouldn't expect to find on eBay, or at least to be this cheap! Available with or without a bulb this is an ideal bedside table or desk lamp. I would personally buy the base alone and pick up a large circular Edison bulb! 


Vintage Travel Posters £3.49 each 
If you are looking to fill a wall with something more unique and colourful than a motivational quote then look no further than these cute vintage travel posters. Either picking up posters of destinations you would love to visit or have actually visited. The listing contains over 30 posters available in A4 and A3 sizes.

Eyes on You Trinket Dish £4.55 
A cute little trinket dish that I couldn't leave out of this post! Ideal for keys or jewellery. I have more than enough dishes like this around my home but I may have to pick this one up!

Cotton Plant Cushion Covers £1.62 each
I'm obsessed with inexpensive cushion covers from eBay! They are just so cheap and perfect for both indoor or outdoor. This specific listing consists of so many amazing designs from palms to cactus prints and even a few more colourful options.

Floral Unicorn Wall Decal Sticker £2.99
Now I didn't think I'd fallen in love with the unicorn trend until I came across this gorgeous wall decal! From the watercolour style to the addition of succulents and little birds, I just can't get enough of it. Ideal for a child's bedroom or any wall you want to prettify really. And if the unicorn isn't your thing you can use all the other pieces around it, separately. A total bargain at only £2.99! 

Let me know your favourite items here! 

Fee xo.





Floral Embroidery is very much on trend right now and I'm totally loving it! So for that reason, I thought I'd put together a floral themed post of some of my favourite budget finds today.
