Recent Purchases: Blog Sale Haul!

If you've been a member of the A Team for a long time, you'll know I'm a big endorser of Blog Sales. Loads of us have great makeup items collecting dust merely because the shade doesn't suit us or its not to your tastes anymore. Instead of throwing out good make up, why not have a blog sale?

I track the keyword 'blog sale' on hellocotton and often look out for any tweets about them on the # 'blogsale.' 

Here is what I've picked up recently:




Illamasqua Diablo Lipstick- Never used £5
MAC Ornamental Lustreglass £2
MAC Naked Lunch Lipliner £5
NARS Lipgloss in sweet revenge £4

Most of this stuff has never been used or barely used and the prices way below the RRP prices its a win win situation. If stuff has been used, I go through some steps to ensure they are cleaned before use (as a precaution- I don't expect many the previous owners to have had mouth herpes or conjunctivitis but you can never be too careful!) 

I'm very pleased with my new little stash and at a steal price, too! If you want to see my post on tips for shopping the blog sales or how to clean the products before use, click here!

Would you ever shop the blog sales? Or does the thought fill you with dread?

  5. The lipstick is a gorgeous shade! Such bargains, i hardly ever find good blog sale bargains these days. I have my own blog sale though, although i do need to add loads to it! :)x

  6. I love blog sales. I haven't as of yet bought anything beauty related in a blog sale but I did buy a silver H&M blazer brand new for £5 including P+P. It's like a posh boot sale but a gizillion times better and because it is a fellow blogger you are buying off of you kind of feel you can trust them more than a complete total stranger!

    I love your blog and how you talk about a wide spectrum of things not just what is considered as 'the norm'

  7. Nars Sweet Revenge is one of my favourite lipgloss'! Sadly I had to pay the full £17 for mine though haha. I usually wear it with Mac's Myth lipstick, great combo! xxx
