Shop My Closet On Depop

This post is NOT sponsored by Depop

I mentioned on my Instagram a few weeks ago that I was going through my closet to finally start getting rid of some of my old clothes I've been stashing for far too long, and the time has now come! I've started listing my first few pieces on the app Depop, which is a great alternative to something like Ebay that doesn't have listing fees and flooded results. The app is modern, clean, and a lot more user friendly which is why I chose it over other options.

For right now, I don't have a ton of variety or trendy clothes listed, because I'm really trying to get rid of the bulk of clothes I have leftover from my teenage years first. You'll mostly find brands like Hollister, Forever 21, and Aeropostale listed at the moment since that's all I lived in for many years. All sizes will range from XXS to M, so this will mostly pertain to my smaller frame gals or younger relatives you may purchase for.

Unfortunately, my biggest battle with starting to sell online is the shipping prices as I have no experience with it. The absolute best I've been able to estimate is $4 shipping for clothing which includes buying a ton of new supplies with my own money, but once I figure out actual costs as I start shipping things out I'll tweak it to hopefully be a bit less.

I'm going the route of selling instead of donating by the way because I'm saving up for a huge DIY hobby I wanna start and maybe can even eventually sell and share with you guys! I have a bunch of items that will be donated like jeans as I find it too hard to describe fits for those, and anything that doesn't sell will eventually be donated as well :)

All items will be negotiable on price so feel free to comment on the actual listings if there's anything you're interested in!

*PS Im so sorry for being absent on the blog :( I have taken a huge halt on makeup shopping (like, I have 2 Sephora giftcards and 1 Ulta giftcard from Christmas that haven't been used yet kind of halt) so I've instead just focused on making looks with what I already own for my Instagram @lizzyxfresh. I'm investing most of my money into revamping my closet, so maybe OOTD's can make a comeback soon!

Do you sell anything online? If so, do you have any guides or tips to make the most of it?

Carbon Coco | Ultimate Carbon Kit Review

*This kit was sent to me for free to review

If you follow me on Instagram and see the array of selfies I constantly post, you probably can tell I'm not really a fan of my teeth since I never smile with them. Not only do I have an overbite with a few gaps in the front I'm self conscious about, but I've been drinking tea nonstop my entire life so they aren't as white as I'd like. That's why when Carbon Coco asked if I'd be interested in trying out this kit, I was really excited to see if I could gain at least a little bit of teeth confidence again!

Too Faced Clover Palette Vs. A Fake | Why It's Worth Paying More

Real Too Faced Clover Palette | $49 for 18 shades

Like most people, I definitely enjoy a good dupe. I'm usually quite frugal, and sometimes on a tighter budget, so if I hear an expensive product I'm interested in has a dupe, I'll usually grab the dupe to test out first so I don't have to waste the money if it ends up being great! That being said, a dupe and a fake are two very different things, and the latter can be quite dangerous. That's why when I accidentally got a hold of a fake Too Faced Clover Palette for Christmas from a relative, I thought it would be a great time to show a hands on comparison.

Holiday Gift Guide For The Beauty Queen

*Widgets may contain affiliate links

Personally, I think I'm a horrible gift shopper for other people. I tend to be pretty bad at surprises and knowing what my family or friends would like, so I prefer just getting a list with specific things so I know exactly what to buy to ensure they won't be disappointed.

Halloween Portfolio 2017 | Cosplay Fun & More

Man, its been a little while! I feel really bad about putting the blog on the back burner, but with a few crappy things that happened to me recently, along with basically having a full time job and relationship, I don't have much time to squeeze in these days.

I do however almost always take off multiple days in a row for Halloween every year, so you can always expect at least a couple posts coming from me around the end of October!

Makeup News | Sephora's Stepping Up Their Game?

I haven't done a non-review related post in a while, so I thought I'd talk about some changes I've recently seen Sephora rolling out! Just like a few changes MAC made recently, Sephora seems to be stepping up their game with catering to more budget conscience consumers, with the launch of Weekly Wows, regular Reward Bazaar updates, and adding Colourpop to their brand line-up!

Avon Eyeshadow Quad | Warm Sunrise

Avon True Color Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Quad in Warm Sunrise | $5.99 on sale

I'll be honest, when I think of creamy pigmented eyeshadows, Avon isn't necessarily the first brand that comes to mind. However, my mom recently gave my this eyeshadow quad from them and I gasped when I opened the lid. I could immediately tell that these gorgeous colors would have a big impact, and I wasn't disappointed after finally using them!

Hyped | Coty Airspun Powder

Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder | $5.97

I'm definitely guilty of being that person who will see a product mentioned a hundred times, roll my eyes a bit thinking it can't -actually- be that great, then buy it the first chance I get just to see if the buzz is really worth it. Luckily this time my wallet didn't hurt too much in the process, as this Airspun Loose Face Powder from Coty was under $6 at my local Walmart.

Wet N Wild | Spring 2017 MegaGlo Highlighters

Wet N Wild MegaGlo Spring Highlighters | $4.99 each

I've become an absolute sucker for unconventional highlighter shades, so when I saw these two colors in the Wet N Wild Spring Collection I immediately ran out looking for them in stores! Unfortunately I couldn't actually find them anywhere near me so I had to turn to online, and luckily found them still being stocked on the Wet N Wild website.

Kat Von D Beauty | Alchemist Palette

Kat Von D Beauty Alchemist Palette | $32 for 4 shades

Kat Von D Beauty has done it again, coming out with some really killer products that turn the ordinary makeup lover into a badass experimenting artist. A little pop of color here, some bold bright lips there, and you have a recipe for some really sweet looks.

Lipstick Is My Vice | Urban Decay Junkie Lipstick Palette

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Palette in Junkie | $20 on sale at Sephora

Sephora's VIB sales always seem to roll around at the worst time of year for me, so anytime I get that email for 15% off my order, I always scour the sale section of their site so I can get some kind of use for my code before it's too late. My face lit up when I saw that they still had the Urban Decay Lipstick Palette in Junkie in stock, and for only $20 at that!

Instapeeks | Eye Looks Galore

Instagram | @lizzyxfresh

While I've been super busy with work and haven't had a ton of time to post on the blog, I have been posting a ton on my Instagram recently and thought I'd share some of those posts on here! I've been really into snapping my makeup lately, so here's an array of eye looks I've done in the last few months.

Go-to Lipsticks for Spring | Kat Von D, Maybelline, & More

Spring is always kind of a slow season for me, because there's not much going on in the way of holidays, and no one in my family has a birthday or any big special event coming up. So I tend to cheer myself up with some pretty makeup, and make the most of the rainy weather and long, boring work days. Here's some of my favorite lipsticks to wear this season, including an array of pinks, corals and purples to stick to the pastel goodness that Spring brings!

Kat Von D Beauty Haul | 20% Off Sale

Kat Von D Beauty Friends And Family Sale | 20% off your order

When I checked my email and saw that Kat Von D Beauty's website was running a 20% off Friends and Family sale, I knew it was time to make my first purchase from the site! I've always exclusively bought her products from Sephora, but I like that you can also get them on her website now in case one place is sold out or is running a special promotion that the other isn't.

Haul | Ultra Affordable False Lashes

Lady Moss Beauty Haul | Falsies From Kara & Posh Lashes

If you guys have been keeping up with my Instagram lately, you might've noticed that I've been sporting falsies in basically all of my selfies recently. While I still don't wear them very often at all in my day to day life, I think for more 'editorial' stuff, false lashes can really clean up a look and bring everything together, so I've been trying to teach myself how to properly apply them lately! 

Love Is In The Air | KVD Studded Kiss Lipstick in Magick

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipsticks | $21.00 Each

You guys already know that when it comes to Kat Von D Beauty, I have to try everything. My collection of her makeup is starting to grow to pretty massive proportions as of late, and there have been so few misses from her line that even if something gets a bad review, I'll usually still opt to try it out. That was the case with her Studded Lipstick range, that I now own two shades from.

Collection | Avon Nail Polish

Avon Nail Polishes | Including the lines Speed Dry, Dazzlers, Urban Splatter, & More

With a bit of a more laid back post today, I thought I'd talk about some of the nail polishes I own from Avon. While I know Avon might not be the easiest products for people to buy, you can purchase from their website now so you don't have to exclusively find reps in your area anymore. Not only that, but they have a lot of  cool lines and releases that I thought would make for an interesting post!

I Made A Youtube!

Eight Bit Beauty is Now on Youtube! | Makeup Tutorials, Eyeshadow Shorts, & More

Hey guys! Just wanted to make a super quick post and let you guys know I -finally- made a Youtube channel specifically for makeup videos! I had uploaded the previous one on my 'gaming' channel but decided that since I really enjoyed recording, I would turn it into its own channel so if you'd like you can subscribe to me at Eight Bit Beauty!

Eyeshadow Shorts | Purple Sunrise

Eyeshadow Shorts #1 | Purple Sunrise

So if you noticed in my Best of Beauty post from the beginning of the year, I mentioned that I wanted to start filming videos for the blog, and holy moly the first one is already here! Usually it takes me months of procrastination to finally start doing something, but I decided to try doing a test run with my camera the other day to see how the quality is, and it ended up being not half bad! This video is going to be launching a new series on my blog called Eyeshadow Shorts, where I film short little tutorials like this that are a lot easier to do than the step by step picture tutorials, and gives you a more in depth look at the process.

Best Of Beauty For The Year 2016 | Urban Decay, MAC, & More

One of my favorite posts to do last year on my blog was oddly enough, my best of beauty for 2015 at the very beginning of the year, so I thought I'd keep the tradition alive and do another one this year! My makeup collection has more than doubled in just the last year, and I've been really having a great time testing out new makeup all the time. Here were some of my stand out products for 2016!
