Favorite Ebay Sellers/MUA-Swappers?

[Shimmer]

Stay away from tru_colors (colours?) on ebay. She sells "Mac" pigments, but ships the true colors pigments instead. She got me back in the beginning of my piggie addiction. Never again though.
*please note, the true color pigments are NOT bad, but if I am buying MAC, I expect to RECEIVE MAC, not some other brand.

For pigment samples, I've used (and loved) Sofver mostly. Half tsp samples, and they arrive nicely. She CAN be slow but she's really communicative and sent me a brush once because she was so behind a bit.

I bought samples from pinky_girly_things once and the pigments were shipped nicely, though it took nearly 2 weeks for things to arrive. star-coast was good, and outerglow was really friendly with great communication.

mrskloo is at Specktra too! At least, a few months ago when I bought Sunday Best and a pigment sample from her. Everything was incredibly smooth and she was very friendly! And thanks for the note on shezidoo! I bought UD PP for a very good price off of her and shipping to Canada took only 3 days! Definitely looking to buy more from her. =D

Ack, that's who I bought my first set of pigments from! Maybe that's why I don't understand some of the raves about certain pigments, like Rose, and Blue Steel... but they looked similar enough... I also got Naked and Kitschmas from her, and those seem similar to pictures and reviews... I'm going to look at the Legacy Collection and our gallery again... aaaahh.... I'm going to have to re-buy those ones then! *sigh*... At least I won't be afraid of using those ones up too fast!

Also, check out Janicea2001. She ships REALLY fast and has GREAT prices.

The true colors pigments are similarly colored, I mean, REALLY close, but they don't have anything like the same texture. If you want to use them and like...have really good color payoff...you have to have a really good base and pack the crap out of them on your eyes.

add in
sillyseahorse1589 to that list.

sillyseahorse1589 has some great items, but I keep getting oubid!

Thanks so much for noting all these sellers shimmer!

I think Janice is my favorite, of all of them. REALLY fast shipping, and packaged well enough that if I buy something from her my 4 y/o is stoked because he gets the bubbles.

Although I (nor the ones who've recommended him) never had problems with will-ee222, shipping a product that smells of cigarette smoke is disgusting and unprofessional. Thanks for the heads up.

evalueville has some good deals on ebay. if you catch them at the right time they have dollar shipping and really cheap makeup. I have gotten mixed reviews from people about them, but i have bought from them numerous times and it always comes air mail in like 2 days. i've gotten porcelain pink MSF's from them for 15.00 and goldbit eyeshadow for 9.00... plus lots more. only problem i could see it that they dont combine shipping, but if the deals are right, its still really cheap!

For pigment samples i bought ten for like 25.00 from fraggersden. they came with typed labels, ans it was all packged in a cute pouch. Lots to choose from.

evalueville has great deals, but last time I checked they don't ship to Canada (maybe not outside US even). Boo hoo!

 

[lindabear]

i have bought 2 items from evalueville, i dont know if they are real i think they are...

 

[brandiisamonkey]

I LOVE my-boo-kitty She is REALLY fair with her prices and shes supper sweet I HIGHLY recomend her!

And Evalueville, their products ARE real, I like them they have some GREAT deal though their feedback can be a little scary but I mean they do ship like millions of dollars worth of stuff every year lol... Id recomend them

I have bought some mac shadows from hcortez someone mentioned on ebay, they were a great price, shipped fast.

I have had PROBLEMS with catwalk cosmetics. Slow shipping, and sent me the wrong items, then was EXTREMELY b*tchy when I told her they were wrong and I wanted what was listed in the auction. She said there "was a typo and I got the right items"? WHAT? Um ok but the PICTURE that showed what it said it was also must be a "typo" too. So instead of shipping me what I wanted she sends money back. Acted like a jerk so I buy else where.

I see a seller named "pacman" or something like that selling pigment sample lots all the time, good prices. Does anyone know anything abouy this seller?

pakman1968 is a great seller and owns Kelly's MAC Store, mentioned in an above post I think. I've gotten one batch of samples when I started collecting and 12 B2M items, and this seller's reliable with good communication. Slow of feeback once, but that's not (as) important. The only thing I wish the seller would do is sell two lots of empty jars at once so I can save on shipping!

Can anyone recommend reliable Ebayers who sell full-sized MAC pigments at reasonable prices? I'm in Singapore so the seller should ship worldwide.

I've been so tempted to bid but have no confidence in my own judgement of whether the pigments are authentic!

I love blush-etc, she mostly sells LE pigments though, but for pretty cheap, very friendly and ships fast.

 

[idyllic]

Thanks, Ambi! I'll check it out!

Hey.. i have a non-MAC question.. i read that some girls here in the forum also use mineral foundation.... sooo....
i`m searching for a ebay seller, who sells authentic bare escentuals (bareMinerals) - foundation..

I cant buy bare escentuals here in Austria, so i have to buy at ebay... but i`m really unsure at ebay.. has anyone bought a bare ecentuals mineral foundation at ebay.. ?

Thanks!

 

[Hawkeye]

Darleene,

I think you would be better off asking someone on here to CP it for you to be perfectly honest!

 

[Darleene]

hmm... yes it think so

That would be the best way to get a real bare mineral foundation

Everyone could put a "no name" powder in a jar and sell it at ebay as a bare mineral foundation...

 

[modelstature]

I've stumbled across a couple who seems to have really cool MAC stuff although mostly discontinued items. I bought a LE eyeshadow and was quite pleased. I too like kanachan.

 

[user6]

the people i've had excellent experiences with on ebay for mac stuff, or just name brand cosmetics are (and I have them in order of preference):

trustful_selller -this girl's name is jennifer and she is just soo awesome!
wc-racer
naomidrive
*supermatt*
vicki_h21
blush-etc

and there's a lot of other good sellers, but these by far exceeded the good experience with their speedy transaction, knowledge of products, and that extra effort they put in to assure a good buying experience with the customer.
