Eyeing them~~

My current eBay watch list

(click on it to enlarge)

I'm watching:

1. A lovely tartan skirt
2. A DSLR (although it's an old style but I don't mind)
3. Ankle boots
4. Anti-cellulite oil (LOL!)
5. A long white skirt
6. A huge Pashmina shawl

But I'm telling myself to hands-off eBay this month, urgh.

Looking at those lowly-priced items is killing me!

SHISEIDO Mud Mask: Real and fake

Thank you dear for posting this up because I never thought such simple thing could have been faked.

The back

The pack that I bought from Aussie eBayer. It's for auction and I cant remember exactly how much I paid for 2 packs of it, may be $2?

Everything looks fine EXCEPT the direction of the open mouth. Er... don't know if it's fake T_T

If according to the description, I think the "mud" of the mask is very dark in colour, as the blogger said that for counterfeit item,"The cream is 50% more transparent black than real stock. It is very sticky and smell like gum." Well the smell is not horrible to me though, so can I safely say mine is the authentic one? LOL.

Natural toner and cream

I was inspired by Bubzbeauty to make my own toner with natural ingredients, and also because my toner was running dry at the time >_<

This video from Bubz shows how to make mask and toner by ourselves. I have all the ingredients for masks as well but I will save them for later as I still have lots of face-masks.

Tune to 4:25 for how to make the toner.

I bought the Apple Cider Vinegar (750ml) for $2.60.

A box of green tea with 20 teabags for $1.20.

From the land where my Great-greatgrandpa and grandfather from :)

First, make a mug of green tea with boiled water and set it aside to be cooled down.

Pour into a clean empty bottle, as instructed by Bubz, 2/3 of the bottle to be filled with green tea.

And then 1/3 of it with apple cider vinegar.

Here's my toner! Big bottle at that (500ml) and only costs me a fraction of $3.80! Damn cheap! I've tried it and my face feels cold and smooth, love it! Hopefully it can reduce my acne and acne scars after a month or so :)

As you can see in Bubz's video, she uses Egyptian magic cream after using the toner... I actually found out about this cream through a Melbourne blogger and am surprised to know Bubz is also using it! And apparently, it caused a rave in Hollywood and the world (as claimed) and every celebrities and non-celebrities are using it. I surveyed various comments and feedback before I decide to buy it on eBay because it costs $35 + $7.65 shipping fee! There are mixed responses, some (or I can say many) claim it works magic and wonders, and some don't find it "magic" (because they already have good skin, DUH), and some abandon using it because it is too oily or does not work.

This is how the cream looks like, with a free sample in tube.

It is made of 100% natural ingredients (as claimed by Mr. LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa. Geez, I doubted for a moment when I read this name on the label. This Mr. Howard put the powerful Egyptian Gods' names together to become his Egyptian name!) such as Olive oil, Beeswax, Honey, Pollen, Royal Jelly, and Propolis Extract.

But it smells like wax to me though.

I finally decided to buy it because I noticed over 2 days only, its listings on eBay are selling out fast and also The New York's Times had interviewed the founder, so I made the biggest decision to buy the most expensive product ever from eBay.

And because of that I am officially broke. Haha!

Am surprised again because just found out Bubz actually did a video on the cream!

And oh yeah, check out the list below from a Singapore eBay listing, I chuckled when I read some of them, LOL^^

Boots + Wedges = Wedge Boots

I want a pair of wedges and at the same time I want a pair of new ankle boots. While I could not make a decision which pair to buy because I want both, I came across with this: Wedge boots.

So I was like, why not? It looks new! So I bid on it and surprisingly nobody's bidding on it, I got myself something I never thought I would buy!

Even the soles are damn clean, LOL

US designer Charles David brown wedge boots size 7

The starting bid is $15 and it is a free postage item.

Are you kidding me?

At first I thought the seller would not wrap the item properly because I won it with the starting bid with no extra cost to cover the postage and handling costs.

But when it came, I was deeply touched and surprised:

A 3kg regular prepaid parcel is $9.90.

The bubble wrap may cost her around under $1, and she wrapped the boots in lots of papers... inside and outside of the boots! I am so impressed!

Imagine most of the time I received my items simply NAKED inside the parcel bag you see above, without bubble wrap and paper and whatnot.

So basically, the postage and handling had already cost the seller $10.90, which means the boot cost only $4.10! ZOMG

So this buy deserves one whole post dedicated to it XD

Awesome

My takes are blurred, LOL

It does not come with its original box so how the heck I'm supposed to know if it's really from Charles David? After checking I'm very satisfied :))

Loike it^^

It's actually quite high but luckily I can take it^^

I was wearing this and walking in the campus and also around Swanston Street LOL

Match it with my little black dress and off we go to shopping! XD

Just to show off a maxi dress I tried on during another shopping trip. My friend discouraged me by saying "why wearing batik in Australia" immediately I took it off and say goodbye LOL

Btw it costs near $40. Nah.

But then I spotted a vest in the same boutique shop, it costs around $30 I think but I hold my purse and thinking why not looking for it on eBay first? So, stay tune for the next post! XD

Wah

Saw this Cleopatra Boots on eBay. Though I am NOT allowed to buy it, I put it in my watching list just to see what would be the final bid be.

I love the design, it's so difficult to find this kind of style elsewhere. So it's considered a gem and the starting bid is 99 cents while the postage is $10.

And today I checked, the end bid is:

A whooping $125.45!

I believe owning this boots will give the maximum satisfication to its owner. Way to go Miss 6***k^^
