About a month ago I ordered these things online but I kept forgetting to post a haul, so here it is! I'll provide links and prices so if you see something you like, you can have a look and maybe get it too :)
So first, the biggest thing in the picture: Fraulein38 matte and shimmer eyeshadow pallette. This was $27.60 AUD, I think this is a great price for 120 eyeshadows. The shipping costs $3.00 AUD so shipping and the palette is approx $30.00 AUD. The pallette contains two trays that you can lift out so you can view all the eyeshadows. I decided to pick this one over the other ones because I thought it had the most variety. There is every colour of the rainbow that I could think of and they are in matte and shimmer. The only downside to this pallette is that the colours aren't as pigmented as if you payed $10-20 for one eyeshadow (Revlon, Rimmel etc.) but seems I'm probably only going to be using these bright colours for cosplay/costume looks, it will work :) (and btw the matte is more pigmented than the shimmer colours)
Here's a couple of swatches:
From 'Maytheups' on Ebay, I got 3 packets of eyelashes and some nail stickers.
I have been looking for bulk packs of eyelashes everywhere, because here in Australia eyelashes are usually around $13, The Face Shop have them for $4.50 (they have really good glue btw) but I want to wear them often and I don't like wearing the same pair of lashes twice. I looked online at eyelash stores, but the ones I found either didn't ship to Aus or the shipping was ridiculous (like $100! really?!). So I decided I would look on ebay, even if the packets were $10 for 10, that works out to $1 per pair. I came across this user and I thought her eyelashes looked like quality lashes, they looked like the $13 ones, so I decided to buy a few and they were really inexpensive!
The brand is Taylor Xuan, I haven't heard of this brand before but I thought the packaging looked nice too (pic above). These ones are T08.
$2.00
These ones are Taylor Xuan T01
$2.00
And these are also Taylor Xuan 601
$1.80
I haven't tried them yet but I opened the packages and they feel like they are quality lashes.
I realise all these lashes are sold out but if you go to maytheups store, you can probably find very similar lashes.
Also from the maytheups store I bought some nail stickers
I haven't tried these yet either, I'm waiting for a special occasion. I've never used nail stickers before so I'm a bit worried they will fall off/scratch off really easily, but they do look really pretty, and they're still available for $1.50!
Lastly, I got two Revlon Lip Butters!
Left: Strawberry Shortcake
Right: Sweet Tart

The swatch of Strawberry Shortcake is realistic, but the Sweet Tart swatch is much more pigmented and brighter in real life. In Australia, these retail for about $22 each and on Ebay I found them here for $8.00 each! So cheap!
So after my online makeup shopping, I have realised when something new hits the shelves, try to find a dupe or a less expensive seller online! And who knows, you might be in luck~
