Amazing eBay Alternative!!

I know that I am not the best at keeping this blog updated, but as my early new years resolution, I am going to make a better effort of keeping it up!!

Also, this post is going to be a little different, I want to actually talk about a new venue-Bonanzle, that I happened to stumble on a little while back, that I have just fallen in love with.

With that said ... onto BONANZLE!!!

All I have to say is I friggen LOOOOVEE this place. Simply put, it's amazing.

The design of the site itself is fun, visually appealing, and professional looking. I find that alot of the ebay alternative sites just don't cut it. Their designs are plain and ugly, not at all professional looking. I would not shop there, so why would I expect any potential buyers to stick around or even look around.

Bonanzle is also extremely user friendly. It's so simple to set up your "booth" which is what a store is called on Bonanzle. You just click and drag your photos for your listings, and that's it .. all there is to it!!
As a matter of facet, the whole listing is done on one page, rather than clicking back and forth between pages to add your description, price, shipping and so on. It's a quick and painless process, so you spend more time chatting with your new friends in the forum.

When I joined Bonanzle 2 months ago, it had a little over 6500 members .. or so. I can't possible remember the exact number ... hahaha .. I know I love this place but really .... :D

So my point is, as I write this, people are signing up to Bonanzle and there are now over 13,400 member today and still growing. How many ebay alternative sites have you been to that are growing that rapidly. I can answer that for you ... NONE!!! This is the best chance we have against "you know who"!! Bonanzle is the answer. It's growing and spreading like wild fire, and there is no stopping it.

To top is all off, the fees are pennies in comparison to ebay!! This is the fee structure, and just to point out its absolutely FREE to open your booth, and to list. The fees are final value fees only ... that's it!!

Final Offer Value Fee
Less than $10$0.50
Less than $50$1
Less than $100$3
Less than $1000$5
$1000 or more$10

So there you have it ... now go and look at all the fee's you pay at the bay and weep, then get your butt over to Boanazle.

The best part to me though is the people and the owners!! The owners are just amazing. They are always working on upgrading something, yet never too busy to help you out if you need it. That is though, unless one of the members on the forum doesn't beat them to it!! The people are astounding!! Everyone is like one big happy family. They are helpful, friendly, kind, and always ready with suggestions and tips for anyone who wants it. I can't say enough good things about Bonanzlers. They just know how to have fun, and welcome everyone into their family with open arms.

ok .. I think I have said what I wanted to in this "short novel" I just wrote ... lol ...

Join BONANAZLE!! Be FREE and have fun again!!

New Shimmer Eye Shadows

NEW SHIMMERING EYE SHADOWS!!!!

I just created 6 gorgeous shimmering eye shadows and their up for sale in my Bonanzle and Ecrater stores. Their all vibrant bright colours but more on the sheer side. You can control how sheer you want them by applying one layer or multiple for a deeper and brighter shade. If your really looking for drama, try them foiled (applied wet). WOW, talk about colour!!!

Samples are just $ 1.50 and shipping is always FREE .. can't go wrong with that.

Next, I will be listing cool and warm matte foundations. It took some time to formulate but they are ready to go, I just have to take some photos and they will be up.

I'm also working on some primers and finishing powders ... in the works is a dry girl primer, oily girl primer, a matte finishing powder and a hi-def finishing powder with the magical ingredient silica. As well as am "illuminater" finish powder, which will give you that dewy/glow. I am very excited as I have so many new products in the works.

5 Neautral Foundation Shades

FOUNDATIONS have ARRIVED!!

I have finally formulated 5 neutral foundation shades, in a matte finish!! They are a medium - full coverage, depending on your application technique. Even when layered it feels as though I'm not wearing any makeup. I personally put on 2 light layers for a more full coverage.

These foundations are nice and light and airy yet cover the things you want to hide. The ingredients are as follows:

Mica, Titanium Oxide, Rice Powder, Zinc Oxide, Kaolin Clay and Boron Nitride and of course oxides and ultramarines to create the shades.

I decided to include Boron Nitride because it's a high end powder and it give the foundation a really great feel and almost helps it to kinda stick together, even though it's still a powder form. I just like the feel and it gives the foundation great staying power. I had it on for 8 hours today, without any touch ups.

Don't take my word for it ... try it out for yourself. Samples are just $2. 00 for a 1/2 tsp sample, and Free Shipping!! That 1/2 tsp sample will last you for at least 3 applications, even if you have a heavy hand :D ... like myself.

I'm also in the process of working on a sheer foundation, and some veils/ finishing powders that will give you a glowing effect since the foundations are a matte finish.

Foundation Progress

Ok .. I'm really excited now .... it's all finally coming together. I have been working at this all day and I think I have a foundation!!!

It's a matte foundation, and offers a medium to full coverage with no shimmer, glow or shine just totally matte. It has a creamy, silky airy feel to it, and I have been wearing it all day and it's doing great. I just have to work on the different tones!!

I worked on making a neutral foundation in an ivory type colour, a light and a beige and a tan, today. But I'm having problems with making medium beige for some reason ??? It's coming out a bit too dark for my liking. Then I'm onto warm and a cool tones. I feel so good .. I am still motivated to go tackle that pesky medium beige even though it's not co-operating!!!

I really don't want to come up with names for these foundation shades so they will be nameless with only be know as N - for neutral and then a #. Those names are pointless to me. There is no generic names for the colours, and there are really no generic colours either. Each brand has their own version on "buff", "beige", "tawny" and so forth. So I will skip the naming ... and just keep it simple.

That's it for now .. I'm going back to work while the going is good!!!
Wish me luck
