Aliexpress haul

I'm always looking for a deal. I'm not a really big shopper but, when I do shop I like to get the best price for my items. More "bang for my buck" as they say. The sites I usually order from are mostly EBay and Amazon but recently I stumbled upon Aliexpress.

What while surfing the site I found a few things that I  liked, they were cheap so I decided to buy them and give them a try.

A few things I got from the site was for Christmas. I was low on cash and needed a gift for my brother my boyfriend and his mother. is hard to shop for men and even harder to shop for your boyfriend's mother. I found two sweat jackets I liked and thought will look good on them so I went that for the guys. As for what why this fell boyfriend's mother I found a really cute necklace. For me I found a cute wig, lipstick and a Lord of the rings replica ring.

  As a whole I was very satisfied with these items except for the grey sweat jacket which was missing a button on the collar. Also I thought I ordered my items in time to get here before Christmas. Most of my items come before Christmas but, I have a stupid mailman that does not deliver packages all. I've called many times to this post office complaining. They even sent me on a wild goose chase telling me I had to come pick up my packages, when I got there that lady was very rude and had attitude. She told me that the package went out for delivery.(I could tell that she didn't ring look for my package. She didn't even ask me for tracking number.) I went home with a package, IT WAS NEVER DELIVERED. I called the post office that following Monday and my packages were found. I had problems with this before. Items from overseas usually have to go through customs and are considered registered mail. Apparently they keep these in a different room. They never check that room. Every time I called them they always tell me they cannot find a package after about 15 minutes on the phone they find it saying it was in the other room. You would think they would know that just by looking at the tracking number. 

Altogether I like this site. They are a little bit cheaper then eBay and Amazon.The shipping times do not bother me because I am used to order overseas. I will will be most likely use this to buy new winks makeup palettes, makeup brushes, and maybe even Asian fashion. I would recommend this site anyone.

I plan on doing a review on some of these products, except for the tights, because they did not fit me unfortunately. So look forward to new posts.
