Thoughts on off brand makeup from EBay?

I was wondering if you all had found any good quality inexpensive makeup from there? I know it's not all reliable but some of it must be.

It really varies by the seller. I found some great makeup sponges on eBay but when I went to order some more I couldn't find the seller anymore. What are you looking to buy specifically?

I haven't tried any of the Ebay ones, but I've bought a couple of unbranded makeup items from Treat-your-skin on Amazon. These are all things I'd purchased from salons in the early oughts, and wanted refills. These are good quality products and the pricing is mid-range, so cheaper than they would be in a salon. It's not a super bargain, but the things I've tried have been really quite good.

Mostly face products. Concealer, foundation, etc.

I wouldn't trust eBay for face products. It's a hit or miss really. And you never want to spend money on a product and develop a reaction to it. Not worth it in my opinion. There are amazing and affordable foundations at the drug store I can recommend some if you'd like.

I am all for buying from reputable sellers, but I wouldn't buy just anything. You really have to look out for harmful ingredients like lead and stuff. Best to play it safe.

I think even the high end brands have ingredients that aren't good like I read an article somewhere online saying that one in 4 lipsticks has led!
