Hello hello all my brokeass babes and cheap chicks! I have gifts for you!
50% off all e.l.f mineral makeup for 2 days!
And just so it's not all e.l.f. all the time, lemme link you to my absolute favorite ebay shop in the history of ebay so that you babes, too, can get in on some of that cheap, cheap chicness!
Sale code and links after the jump...
I'm signed up for e.l.f.'s newsletter, so they email me about all their sales - and they've always got something going on - which is why I post these all the time.
This sale is really exciting yall. They're doing 50% off ALL their mineral makeup for two days. That means getting their loose mineral eyeshadows, already cheap at 3$ apiece, for $1.50 each! I already have two of them myself, one I featured in my recent haul post, and I love them very much. I find them just as good as, if not superior to, the much more expensive Bare Escentuals competitor. So right now, you can get a product equivalent to one that sells for 14$ for 1.50!!
Sale ends Friday!
One word to the wise: the color/swatch posted on the website may not always look on your monitor exactly like it will when you get the product home. Keep that in mind and keep an open mind, and you'll be very happy with your twodolla eyeshadows.
They also have plenty of other mineral products, which is awesome because I've been meaning to pick up their powdered foundation and mineral veils so that I can compare them to the BE products. Looks like there will be a review and comparison post coming soon! :D

Enough about the sale! How about a shop that never needs to do a sale to be the cheapest place ever?
OLA MARI CLOTHING!
I've wanted to do a spot on this shop for a long time, but I wanted to include a full haul report on my latest shipment from her. Alas, I just don't have the pictures together yet, and I can't keep this to myself any longer! Maybe I can get the full haul pics all taken this weekend...
Ola Mari (ebay: olamariclothing) has the best prices on the cutest clothes that I have ever seen! Her selection is absolutely massive with 11,000 items in women's clothing, and dozens of other items as well - 6,500+ tops and blouses, over 650 items in leggings alone, almost 1000 dresses, and on and on!
The very best thing about this shop (besides the unbeatable prices) is that you can always see exactly what you're getting. Even with so many thousands of items, every single sale she puts up includes high-resolution photos of the clothes, on a mannequin/dressform, and they almost all even have several photos from various angles. Even when an item is available in many colors, each separate color is photographed by itself and often includes close-ups on any detail.
Just LOOK at all those pics! And there are probably 20 more on this top alone.
It's already hard enough shopping online with women's clothing sizes being the roller coaster they are and monitor coloring being unreliable, so I just can't trust something that I can't see on a human being on top of all that. Having detailed shots of each and every item in all their color variations makes me much more confident in what I'm buying than other shops. And the photos aren't artsy crap with models in silly positions obscuring the clothes or anything; they're all straightforward pictures of the merchandise.
All of her clothes are current and trendy while somehow still managing to be simple and timeless. She doesn't use a ton of bold patterns or graphics - much of her stock is just a single simple, color (made stylish by the shape, drape, and fabric), so even the most up-to-date clothes in the newest material will not be out of style ten years from now. And they'll last that long, too. Everything I've ever bought from Ola Mari has been well constructed out of fantastic (and on-trend) fabrics; everything has washed well and held its bold color.
She's got all the clothes you'll ever need, from undershirts and bralets for layering, to leggings, shorts, and pants, to underpants and workout clothes, to countless styles of tops and dresses. She carries TONS of the staples in a wide variety. Just an example: she's probably got 30 different kinds of tank tops alone: long/tunic-length, cropped, regular, racerback, ribbed, flat, spaghetti-strap, adjustable strap, muscle shirt style, ruched breast, stretchy, viscose, cotton, lace, embellished, Amish-plain, fishnet, one-shoulder, and any combination of any of those you can think of and dozens of colors each... and much more, I'm sure, and that's just in tank tops!
And this is probably not even a good sample...
I think everything she carries, or at least the majority of it, could be unique... like maybe it's her own brand or something. I know that the items I have bought have manufacturer's tags, but I haven't seen a similar shop or come across identical items in other stores. It's not like Korean fashion (another cheap favorite fashion secret of mine), where you can find tons of different shops that all carry the same items, maybe for slightly different prices, and where you can usually go to or find the shop's wholesaler and grab a better deal. While a tank top is a tank top is a tank top, I've still never noticed her brands or exact items anywhere, not in retail chains or other ebay shops.
Oh, and I haven't even mentioned her pri¢eS yet! Everything in the entire store is ridiculously affordable. EVERYTHING. You can see in the pic above how low the prices are on all those items. Many of the things she sells automatically come with free shipping, too, and of course she does auto-free over a certain purchase amount and discounts on combined orders.
Here's something to give you a good feel for her prices: my last haul from Ola Mari (which I'll feature soon in full, I promise!) was 19 articles of clothing for 138$ shipped. And I'm not talking about socks and panties here, either; I mean shirts, skirts, pants, leggings... Yeah, that averages out to about 7$ per item, and I even splurged on a couple of tops that were around 12-15$! Pretty bad ass, in my opinion, that I could basically revamp my entire wardrobe for under 150$.
Howzabout some examples?
This adorable tunic/mini dress, in 5 colors, is 6$, 9 if you only buy the one item (NOT LIKELY!).
A very cute bralet for layering for 7$? Yes, please!
Here's a very trendy tunic in 5 colors for 5$!
Gorgeous flowy sheer top right here only costs 10$!
So CHECK OUT OLA MARI CLOTHING YALL!

OH HEY!
One more update: I've made another couple pieces of jewelry and found some great cheap wholesalers for supplies. No pics yet, unfortunately; hopefully tomorrow. I think this "hobby" is going to pick up real soon, and I totally plan to start selling handmade, unique jewelry (for cheap of course!!) as soon as I get resupplied and can make more!
