selling make-up in ebay. will it break when posting?

shy_at_the_till

I hope somebody will be able to help.

I got a beautiful Pupa make up bag for Christmas and I already have another big Maybelline bag which i am currently using. I have decided to sell the Pupa Bag in ebay but I am afraid the eye shadows, the blush or compact powder will break. I attached a picture so you can see what i mean.

Any tips how to pack it safely or avoid breakage?

Thank you in advance.:p

I can't see the picture unfortunately, but there's no reason why the make up should break.

I have bought make up from ebay and from the Body Shop and, touch wood, I've never had a problem.

Plenty of bubble wrap around will help. As I say, I can't see what you have, but if the eyeshadows etc are loose in a bag can you put a bit of bubble wrap around each so that they don't bang together?

If the make up is in, say, a box, can you perhaps put a layer of tissue inside the lid just to make sure they don't jump out.

The key is to stop them moving around so make sure nothing touches anything else (the items that is, obviously, not the wrapping) and put the whole lot in a small box preferably (though watch your postage weight) or a padded envelope if you can't manage the box.

Mark the front FRAGILE in red ink - you can get the post office to put fragile stickers on too and you should be fine.

I have sent eye shadows and they have been fine. lots of bubble wrap and then stick them on or beween card so they can't move and they should be fine.

Make up can be very fragile, but just wrap it up in a LOT of bubble wrap and it should be fine.
