Hi All,
Today I am
sharing with you all a haul from AliExpress.If you have not heard about this
site let me first give you a little information on this site. AliExpress ,is a subsidiary
of Alibaba.com ,which allows small buyers to buy small
quantities of goods at wholesale prices.I was initially very skeptical of
buying from this site but still thought to give it a try.So today I wanted to
share with you all my experience.Lets first get into the stuff I ordered :-
1.Handbag
First thing that I ordered
was a handbag that looked very
similar to the famous Stella McCartney Falabella
Fold-Over
Tote.

Above is the picture of
the handbag I got.
It looks very similar to
the original except the brand name.
Quality-I liked the
material of the bag .It is soft and does not
look cheap at all .Inside the
lining is of fabric material and
has an animal print.
The handles/straps are
made of chain.The material of the
chain is very light and it is here where I think
the quality of
the bag falls short.
Stitching-I was not so
impressed by the stitching of the bag
and there were some loose threads popping
out which I had
to cut.I did raise this with the seller and he refunded $5 for
it,which I thought was reasonable.
Price I paid-$26 (Free Shipping)
For the price I think it
is a nice bag but one that I may use
only for a couple of months.
RRWS Rating-7/10
2.Makeup Brushes
I ordered some Replicas
of the Sigma brushes .
Quality-The quality of
these brushes is amazing and I would
start out by saying that I love them and totally
recommend them.They have been through a couple of
vigorous washing
cycles and none of them had shed on
me.Only the brush #F40 had some extra
bristles popping out
which I just pulled off by hand.Being a sucker for good
,cheap makeup brushes I am one who keeps on constantly
buying new
brushes.Keeping in mind that I have tons of them
I am constantly reaching out
for these and I think that says a lot.
Pricing-I do not think
that they are by anyway the cheapest in
the market but they are a very good
deal for the price I paid.
Comparison-I am by no
means comparing their quality to the
originals as I do not own any Sigma
brushes but I am
definitely comparing them to the drugstore brushes like Real
Techniques,Elf,Wet N Wild etc.
Lets ,one by one ,look at the brushes I got.
Brush #E35-Tapered
Blending Brush
Price I paid-$1.96(Free Shipping)

RRWS Rating-9/10
All the Brushes have
Sigma Printed on them and they came
in plastic packaging .The brushes had
Sigma printed on one
side and patent pending on the other side on the
side and patent pending on the other side on the
ferules of the brushes if you can see that in the pictures below.
Experience with
AliExpress
I had also ordered
another set of Sigma brushes from other
seller but somehow it got lost in
transit.I raised the matter to
the seller who very quickly refunded me the full
amount.I am very satisfied with the dealing.
Also I got both the
packages(the bag and the brushes ) within
2 weeks of ordering them which I thought
was pretty good
keeping in mind they are shipped from China.Both the Bag
and
the brushes were packaged in a bubble bag.
Overall I quiet like
buying from this site but the products may
be hits or misses.You have to
carefully shop from sellers
who have a good rating and large number of orders.I
can go
on and on ,on how to shop but that can surely be on another
post.
That’s it for this
one,till my next.stay happy and hope you
enjoyed my haul.
P.S- All the products were purchased by my own money .My
Opinions are truly based on my experience.
