As of lately, I have been incredibly into make up. I have been shopping for it, watching videos on it, and practicing like crazy. It is my new daily hobby.
Makeup can be so expensive though, especially high quality brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Urban Decay, Tarte, Two Faced, ect.. I have been slowly trying to build up my supplies. Since buying it can add up quickly I have been shopping second hand.
I have been browsing Poshmark. Poshmark is an online selling app that anyone can sell or buy off of the app. There are used or brand new clothes, makeup, homegoods, ect..
I have sold a number of clothing items through the site. Makeup has been the only thing I have purchased so far, although I have my eyes on some purses. I use the money I made from selling to buy the things I want.
I spend a good amount of time on the app browsing for good deals. A good deal to me is a product that is new or barely used for half off or more. Since shipping can be pricey through the app I also try to buy from a seller that I want to buy two or more things from.
I have made four purchases and have not been disappointed. They usually ship fast too which is a plus. If you are looking to buy something that is out of your price range I suggest Poshmark.

This was my first purchase! I had sold my first couple pieces of clothing and had saved up enough money to buy something. I didn’t have any good quality makeup brushes and this deal was one I couldn’t pass up! I have also been wanting to test out some of these Tarte products. I created a bundle and put in my offer. I love this purchase.
All these products come from Ipsy. There are a lot of sellers offering products from subscription boxes like Ipsy and FabFitFun. Some jack up the prices and some are just looking to just get back the money they spent. Lots of good deals if you look hard enough!
Purchase 2
Tula Glow & Get It Eye Balm *Original Price $28
Paid $15 + $7.69 Shipping & Tax = 22.69 Total
Saved $5.31
I didn’t save a ton here but I did a little. This product I wanted really bad because I have heard so many great things about it from many Instagram influencers. This product is also really hard to find on Poshmark because it is so popular. I scooped it up and love it! I will most likely just buy it brand new next time though.
Purchase 3
Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette *Original Price $67.79
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette *Original Price $48.60
Makeup Revolution Flawless Matte Palette *Original Price $19.91
Morphe 35W Palette *Original Price $40.50
Paid $60 + $6.79 Shipping = $66.79
Saved $110.01
This is by far one of my favorite purchases. The seller was having a buy one get one half off in her closet. I was so excited to see she was selling two Urban Decay Naked Palettes. And since you have to pay shipping for each seller you buy from I loaded up my cart since she had good products. I consider this purchase a huge success!
Purchase 4
Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 *Original Price $53.45
Urban Decay Naked Heat *Original Price $44.99
Paid $40 + $4.99 Shipping = $44.99 Total
Saved $53.45
This purchase was also a huge score! I also loved that these palettes came with the brushes. I am so excited to test out the Heat Palette especially. I think it’s safe to say I am well stocked in the eye shadow department!
