120 Eyeshadow Colors Palette from eBay Review

120 Eyeshadow Colors Palette from eBay
Hello ladies. I wanted to do this post for quite a while. I suppose that many of you are familiar with sites like Coastal Scents and bh cosmetics  that sell affordable makeup palettes. Many people have compared those two and other sites together and they agreed that they have very similar or the same palettes. Yeah the palettes prices are really cheap for all the colors you get in them but most of the time the shipping cost is really high. If you will do some searching on eBay you will find, if not the same, similar palette for half of the price, even less sometimes. Majority of the times the sellers are from China so they have free shipping.

What I believe that is happening is that all of those palettes are manufactured in China and different sites buy them from there and just put their logo on and sometimes a mirror and sell them for different prices. Now, I don't remember the exact seller that I got my palette from but the price wasn't over $12 in total. The one I have is what other sites call 1st edition of the 120 colors palette. If I would buy it from one of those sites the total price wouldn't be under $30. The price difference is huge! Of course I don't say "don't buy from those site" I just point out the differences I see and you can pick & choose what suits you best. If you want it from ebay, this one has good price but you can do your own searching and choose any you want.

Now let's move onto the actual review of this lovely palette. Let me just say that, obviously, I haven't tried each and every color in the palette,it's just not possible haha. One of my fears was that the palette may come with some broken eyeshadows but thankfully none of them broke. To my surprise this palette is actually really good, specially for it's price. It has shimmery and matte eyeshadows but the shimmery ones are not very sparkly. The pigmentation of  the eyeshadows is pretty damn good, yes they are not super pigmented but with some kind of eyeshadow base they will work just great. Of course you should expect some fall out but nothing too crazy, just do your eye makeup first and then the rest of your face and you will be fine.

You can definitely create an unlimited amount of eye looks and if you are a makeup artist or just someone who likes to play with makeup,one of these palettes will come in handy. The only downside that I would like to point out is that, like many drugstore eyeshadow palettes, it has parabens in it. Overall, though, I really like this palette and I already have a makeup tutorial using this palette which you can see here.
What do you think of this palette?Have you bought such palette from ebay? Let me know in the comments below!

    1. Συμφωνώ, δεν πρόκειται ποτέ να αγόραζα απο αυτές τις εταιρείες εκτός και αν είχαν δωρεάν μεταφορικά.

  3. Εχω την ίδια αλλα και αυτήν με τις 88 της μπεζοκάτι !! Είναι πολύ καλές, και σίγουρα δεν υπάρχει λόγος για cs, μιας και για μένα είναι οι ίδιες ακριβώς!

    1. With primer or base the color payoff is amazing.

  5. I have this palette and a neutral 120 palette from eBay as well. They're so much fun to play with. I found them a bit chalky, but they were great overall! Did yours come with brushes as well? Each of mine came with a 30-piece brush roll set, so now I have 58 brushes and 2 brush rolls. Haha. Always nice to have extras, right? :P
