Okay so my first Ebay auction is scheduled to go live today at 7:25 pm. I can’t wait to see what happens with this auction. I’m excited to see if it will sell low, high, or not at all. I hope a few lovely ladies go on a bidding war over my makeup though. 
Physicians Formula – Virtual Foundation Multi-Reflective Luminous Makeup (Retails for $11.00 each!)
I’m auctioning off six new bottles of Physicians formula – Virtual Foundation in Ivory and a second set of six in Nude. I’m also considering auctioning some bottles of this foundation one by one and/or with the option to Buy It Now.
I’m still in the experimental stage of my Ebay selling experience so for the first few months my goal is to test what sells and what doesn’t. I hope to find the best product that I can successfully and confidently sell and focus on it. I only started with makeup because I thought I would have a better overall experience if I sold something I’m passionate about.
Anyways, after doing a bit of research on this specific product, I found out that this foundation is supposed to be a dupe of M.A.C.’s discontinued Hyper Real foundation but I can’t say if it’s true or not. So, if any of you have used and compared these two foundations please let me know in the comments section of this post or if you’re interested in this product just let me know.
I finally had the opportunity to try Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Set ($10), which by the way, I was dieing to use. I had heard and read many great reviews on this beauty product, and being the makeup junkie that I am, I just had to have it.
Unfortunately, it took me WEEKS to find it at my local Target. So, as soon as they had it in stock, I snatched it from the makeup display, rushed to the cash register and bought it. When I got home, I immediately walked straight to the mirror, took off my makeup, opened my new concealer kit and of course, applied a few layers of makeup under my eyes.
Guess what? It truly is an amazing kit!
The concealers come in a slim, white case. The size of this palette is small enough to carry in your purse. Also, some of these concealer sets include two small applicator brushes and a mirror. However, mine didn’t come with them, so I have no idea if the brushes are of good quality or if they’re even useful.
Anyways…
Both the concealers and neutralizer blend beautifully into my skin and they’re very creamy. I like that the concealers minimize the appearance of just about every one of my skin imperfections and it’s not cakey.
The concealers have a little yellow to them, which helps neutralize any red marks around the eyes and face. The set also includes a translucent pressed powder. The powder is perfect, it almost disappears against my fair skin.
Although, this concealer set is one of the best that I’ve used, it still has its flaws. First of all, it did crease under my eyes. Luckily, it wasn’t anything you couldn’t just fix with your fingertips, but still, it’s annoying. Also, this set only comes in one shade.
-How I Apply Sonia Kashuk’s Hidden Agenda Concealer Set:
You can use your fingertips, sponge or a make up brush. I like using synthetic brushes to apply concealer, but whichever tool you choose, try not to tug on the delicate skin around the eyes. Instead, use a tapping motion when applying concealer.
- Here’s the order I apply the concealers:
- Apply a layer of neutralizer to any red or pink spots around the eyes and face.
- Customize the concealer shade to match skin tone. (I blend both colors of concealer, but you don’t have to use both shades if you don’t need to.)
- Apply concealer over areas layered with neutralizer.
- With a cotton ball, dust translucent powder over the concealer. The powder sets the concealer and makes it last longer.
Overall, the price is amazing for the quality of this product. I would definitely buy again and yes, I do recommend you grab this one.
This is a liquid, double ended concealer/highlighter tube. And I like that this stuff blends easily, and it goes on smooth.
The coverage is okay. It covers just about every one of my skin imperfections, except for my really dark undereye circles. Well the concealer does minimize their appearance but it doesn’t hide them completely.
Actually, I have never found a concealer that completely covers the darkness under my eyes and trust me I’ve been looking. Maybe, my undereye circles are just too dark to hide. I mean I can make them look less noticeable but they never completely disappear.
I’m simply one of those girls that desperately needs to cover the darkness under their eyes with a good, long lasting concealer. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was that this stuff stays on all day. I didn’t have to do any touch-ups throughout the day. Yay!
Anyways, the coverage of the concealer is good but not perfect. The highlighter does an excellent job at brightening your eyes and face. Also if you want, you can use it under your eyeshadows as an eye primer.
