el: ‘.swiper-pagination’,

for (var i = 0; i If you’re looking to shop beauty while also being a conscious buyer, then check out Depop. This app isn’t just good for thrifting and second-hand or small business fashion, it also has thousands of new or used makeup products available to buy.
Depop has some amazing small businesses producing false lashes, makeup remover pads, growth serums, and more. You also don’t have to break the bank buying these products, as many of these small businesses offer high quality products at fair prices.
There are also thousands of pre-owned makeup products on Depop, many of which are either brand new or barely used. You can grab yourself some high-end makeup products from such brands as Tarte, Toofaced, Juvia’s Place, ABH, and more. And because these items are preowned, you can usually grab them for a fraction of their original price.
It’s important to note that a lot of the items you’ll find on Depop aren’t being sold in multiples, so you might find yourself adding an item to your bag and then realizing it’s been sold ten minutes later. So, if you see something you really love, try to snatch it when you can!
Also, if you happen to have any of your own cosmetic products that you’d like to sell on to someone else, you can use Depop to set up your own shop to make a little extra money on the side. As long as your product’s not almost empty, you’ll surely find a buyer. You could even start your own home made beauty line if you’re feeling entrepreneurial.
