Ahh well done, thats great. I don't leave the house without a face of make up so this could save me some cash!!

EEKKKK already bought some make up!!! Thanks ever so much for sharing this - would never have thought to try wholesale and bulk!

Smarties - I warn you its quite addictive!! Just make sure you check some of the colours they are selling as sometimes they are a bit :eek:

Just flogged a few old dvds on Music Magpie, it pays to check on Amazon too though as one DVD Music magpie was going to give me £3 which is quite high for them, I checked on Ebay and the same one the cheapest was £35 :eek: So I have listed mine for £25. :T Overall I got between 37p and 60p for them but with Amazon i was only going to receive about £1.04 and postage had to come out of that too so not really much in it and a lot easier to just package it in 1 lump to 1 place.

Ahh nice one, thats great. I have bought so much make up for less than £10 - brand named stuff mostly lipsticks.... are you going to try sell some of yours on ebay? I think i may do, i'll keep the nice colours !!

I did consider it yes, i think you could make some money. Eg you could get 6/8 Maybelline fancy mascaras for about £8 inc postage, if you look at the ordinary beauty section these sell for a couple of quid each so it wouldnt make you millions but might make a bit extra.

I was also considering doing some make up bags for christmas. Could buy cheap make up bags from maybe the pound shop and then fill them with nice branded goodies. A bit like the hamper concept but smaller. What do you think? I reckon you could make a nice, well filled make up bag with max factor for under a tenner

For make up bags it may even be worth splashing out a bit more on something like this one!
Ebay number 180473599041 100 items of collection 2000 for £20 £8 postage that works out at about 30p an item! You could sell little make up bag sets too, bet you could get £4 - £5 if they were presented nicely with a good mix of items............................. wait a minute why am I telling you lot all the good ideas I am having!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I was thinking of doing something similar for DD friends Christmas and birthdays, with ten to buy for it gets expensive unless I get creative like this.

You have just solved my xmas pressie ideas for friends!!! what a fab idea!:D

Have you tried mixing some of the naff colours together??? i had 2 yucky coloured samples but put a little of each into an egg cup type thing to mix and it turned out into an ok colour.

keep the ideas coming pipsmum!;):A

A massive thank you for the make up link, weird as they had one set of 100 listed at £16.99 and the others at £17.99 or the buy it now option, I managed to get the £16.99 without being outbidded, going to put some up for xmas prezzies, got the clear bags, and plan to sell the rest - early planning but the school dd goes to their haveing their xmas fayre end Nov, I had my own stall last yr made £65 - brought nothing to sell, it was from clearouts, so the plan is get a table again, and bag these nicely for xmas prezzies ready to sell.

Will let you know what the stuff is like when it comes xx
