It's time for another eBay finds! It's been a while because the last post I had planned was derailed when the product arrived smashed. Like. SMASHED. I was pretty bummed about it, because I feel like I likely would have actually enjoyed the product - so there's a possibility I will try to order again from a different seller and feature it here sometime in the future. I decided to order these liquid lipsticks from IMAGIC because I've featured the other two prominent eBay liquid lipsticks and it felt only right that I feature these ones as well. These are definitely the newest edition to the ever growing market of Chinese-made eBay brand liquid lipsticks and I was hoping that they would improve on some of the things lacking in the MeNow Liquid Lipsticks and the QiBest Liquid Lipsticks - both of which had significant issues for me. As always, I chose 3 shades to get a feel for the line overall - a nude, a midtoned rosy shade, and a deep burgundy shade. None of the shades looked like their online photos when I received them, but I suppose that's the risk you run on eBay!

How do they stack up? Are they a great deal or still a waste of money even though they're under $4 a piece? Keep reading to find out!

Time for another eBay Finds post here on the blog! This one is coming a little earlier than I intended, because the seller that I picked these up from had the fastest free shipping from Asia that I've ever had - which is a massive win for me. I was really anxious to try these out and see how they measure up to some of the other matte chubby pencils that I have in my collection, like the Sonia Kashuk Velvety Matte Lip Crayons that I previously reviewed on the blog. I originally picked up 3 shades, but decided after a few days to grab a couple more. Based on the 5 that I have, I can say that they're definitely not all created equal and some shades perform significantly better than others.

Anyway, without further adieu, keep reading for my thoughts and whether I think these are worth the purchase.

Quite some time ago now, I reviewed $1 matte liquid lipsticks that I got on eBay and when I reviewed them, I felt a lot more positive about them than I do after having worn them a few more times. They are so sticky that I have trouble wearing them. You can powder them down so that they're more comfortable, but I just don't find myself reaching for them because they're a pain in the ass. So, of course, when I saw a new set of matte liquid lipsticks on eBay for under US$1.50, I decided to give them a go and crossed my fingers that they weren't going to have the same sticky problem.

In this edition of eBay Finds, let's talk about the QiBest Lip Series Long Lasting Lip Glosses... which really aren't glosses at all! Keep reading for more!

So... Sometimes I like to peruse eBay and see what kinds of insane deals they have going on there and sometimes, mostly out of curiosity and insanely low prices including Free Shipping, I decide to order some of those things. Since I do that, I wanted to make a new feature on my blog called eBay Finds. Every month I'd like to pick up a few things from eBay and see how they roll out. I will NOT be purchasing any knock off makeup for this feature, because while I love an honest dupe, I absolutely hate a shady knock off. Know what I mean? No knock offs in eBay finds.

Anyway, for my first eBay finds, I have a set of lip liners from Me Now Generation II. You may remember a while back I featured the $1 liquid lipsticks from eBay that were by the same brand. This brand seems to be getting a lot of attention recently (probably because it's almost ridiculous how cheap their products are), so I decided to give their 12 piece lip liner set a try!

You guys have probably seen these before, right? They seem to be kinda popping up online with varying levels of awe from the people presenting them all over the place. The final straw for me was when I saw them featured on xoVain, which is one of my personal favorite beauty blogs out there. That was when I finally decided that I needed to toss in the $4 that it would cost to get these three lippies to me - I mean, $4 is less than my morning coffee, so even if I hated the lippies, I wasn't going to be too upset about the cost. I don't really generally buy makeup on eBay, but these were calling to me. The name on these is MeNow Long Lasting Lip Gloss, but none of the listings that I found for these were titled that way. Also... This is so not a lip gloss, but we'll get to that.

 Premium Synthetic Kabuki Makeup Brush Set

A while back I saw a post on one of the blogs I read about essential brushes, and a couple of these brushes were mentioned in that post. (I apologize that I can't remember which blog I read this on or even which brushes were listed.) Pretty much immediately, I did some Youtubing about the brushes and then some Ebaying and, within a couple of days, some ordering. 

These brushes are said to be Dupes for the Sigma Sigmax® Essential Kit, which I do not own but have thought about ordering more than a few times in the past. It's always been the price that has held me back. At the moment, I simply can't justify over $150 for a brush set. Just can't. So these, at a whopping US$16.80 with Free Shipping and a few pretty good reviews on their quality were more than worth a shot. It took about a month (which is about standard for me when items are coming from Asia) and one weird anxiety spurred dream about them and now they're mine all mine.

PACKAGESSSSSSSS!!!!

Ahem. Keep reading for a closer look.
