I think eBay is really one of my favorite places to shop for makeup. Is that weird? I actually buy all of my NYX stuff from there, although it's been quite awhile now.
Anyway, I went out on a limb at the beginning of this month and ordered an eyeshadow palette from China. It was listed as "New Professional 40 Colors Eye Shadow Shimmer and Matte Makeup Set." I paid $8.99 for the palette including shipping. The earliest it was supposed to come was 6/19 and it came today (6/20) so I was very happy with that! I don't have pictures of how it was packed in the envelope because I was anxious and opened it at work. :) But let me tell you, it was packed VERY well. I could have probably thrown it across the room and each eye shadow pan would have still stayed in place!
Here is how it looks:
Not one pan was damaged! The taupe color second from the left and second from the bottom, I swatched that with my finger as soon as I got it. I'm sorry! :)
I didn't do any swatches in any particular order, but if you want to see how they look row by row, let me know! This is just so you get a general idea of how pigmented some of these shadows actually are.
Would you consider buying this palette?

Not bad for an eBay palette, now is it? I made little indentations in the shades that are actually well-pigmented enough for me to use. As you can see, MOST of these shades are actually quite nice!
Overall, I am quite pleased with this palette. Some of these shades could be better, but I can't really complain. The original seller I bought this from was m_market, but I see that they don't have this listed anymore. I did see the same palette being sold for $12.99 including shipping by jocelyncyw, and the listing for that is here.
