Hi everyone! I am holding a "blog" sale (well, this is a journal site, but I'll just call it a blog sale because that's what all the cool people do!). I am doing this mainly to rid my stash/collection of stuff I'm just not using anymore because either the color wasn't right for me, or I just didn't care much for the product. This is all mainly lightly used (Most items just used 3-5x!), and I figure instead of tossing perfectly good makeup items, I can try to sell it to someone who wants to buy the item at a reduced price. Used makeup can be sanitized using isopropyl alcohol (of 70% or higher, 90% will evaporate off the makeup faster), and it does not ruin the makeup. This will kill 99.9% of the bacteria lurking in any makeup product. If you have ever had your makeup done at a makeup counter or store (MAC, NARS, Bobbi Brown, Sephora, etc) they have all put used makeup on your face that has been sanitized (at least I hope!) The same goes for professional makeup artists that freelance for weddings, proms, and other big events - yes, you guessed it, they are using the same items repeatedly! So, if used makeup grosses you out -- blog sales are definitely not for you! There are numerous articles on how to sanitize every makeup item on the internet. Just as a disclaimer: I am not responsible for any allergic reaction or skin condition that results from using these products. Shipping starts at $3 for a small envelope and upwards depending on how much you buy. This is limited to the U.S. only - sorry, I don't ship international! The minimum purchase is $10.
LIPS:
Vapour Organic Beauty Elixir Gloss - Sultry 302 (Used 2X) (Retails for over $20 --- has a plush feel on lips, non-sticky. This is a lesser known organic brand but they have really great beauty products -- unfortunately, I have so many glosses, so it's pointless to keep this in my collection) $5

Benefit Hello! Flawless Custom Powder Cover up for Face in "Never Settle...Petal." Product size is 0.25 oz
I used this about 7x, and there is a slight dip in the center. This is slightly too dark / yellowish for me. There is still PLENTY of product in here to try out a really great powder foundation. It's super silky and smooth. Unfortunately, most of benefit's foundations run really yellow it seems... $7
Palettes:
PixiGlow Fairy Face Palette (Used 2-3x) Orig. Price = $34. Not sold anymore. $10
Too Faced In Your Dreams Palette (Limited Edition, not sold anymore) (Used 5x) $10
Also, the packaging cover (which is really flimsy) is kind of lifting off the cardboard, so I have taped it in a few spots. It doesn't really look beat up, just the flimsy papery cover is lifting.
