eBay purchases: rated

This is the third time I’ve done an online/ebay purchases rated blog post. See my other two here, and here. Photos shown on the far left are the images on eBay, and the other ones to the right are when I received the product, so you can tell what it looks like!

slimsonic-toothbrushSeller: rbargains on eBay
Item: Violight Slim Sonic Toothbrush
Paid: $15.95 + $5.00 shipping. Worth the price? No
Location: United States
Delivery: 8 business days
My opinion: What can I say? It’s a toothbrush. It works well, and it’s the perfect size for traveling. I’m not sure that I’d pay the $20 for if I had my time back though, the brush head is small.

Seller: michael-dan on eBay
Item: Rose Gold Plated titanium steel Bracelet
Paid: $19.00 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 12 business days
My opinion: This is such a gorgeous piece, and actually a knock-off of a higher brand name. I’m not sure who? Michael Kors I know makes one too. The bracelet has an engraving that says “Cartier” on it, but of course it’s not real. As soon as I opened the box it came in, it looked like a child sized bracelet and I thought it wouldn’t fit my 5-inch-something wrists (I have petite wrists). Thankfully it did and it’s amazing quality. It feels like it’s got some weight to it, and the edges don’t rub on my wrist at all. If I knew anyone who would love this bracelet as much as I do, I’d buy it for them for next Christmas! I’ve been wearing this non-stop and getting tons of compliments on it, each time I wear it.

Seller: mckalaur on eBay
Item: 5 PRADA Shielding Lip Balm SPF 15
Paid: $12.99 + $3.00 shipping. Worth the price? No

Location: United States
Delivery: 5 business days – incredibly fast shipping
My opinion: These lip balms are so miniature, but for a person who doesn’t wear much lip products on a daily basis, this is a nice luxurious touch to add into my handbag. The lipbalm itself is very buttery on your lips, and it has a slight tint to it. Very nice!

Seller: ticticcompany on eBay
Item: Ladies jumbo metallic designer rose gold watch
Paid: $17.49 + $4.00 shipping. Worth the price?
Location: United States
Delivery: 9 business days.
My opinion: As soon as I took the watch out of its wrapping, I first noticed the size of the face. That thing was huge! The sound that the watch made when it was off my wrist was also notable, as it sounded quite cheap. But that’s what I get for a $20 watch. The face itself is quite nice and doesn’t look inexpensive. I had to get  a few links removed from the watch as it was ginormous as every watch is, before you get it sized. But I’ve been wearing it nearly ever day since I got it. I fooled my co-worker and she actually thought it was one of my many Fossil watches. Until I told her I got it on Ebay! I gave it 3/5 stars because of the quality. I feel like it’s not going to last. But it still looks nice.

ebay-walletSeller: voguesdoor on eBay
Item: New Tough Genuine Leather Brown Removable Mens Womens Wallet purse a68160 NWT
Paid: $28.96 + $5.99 shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 17 business days
My opinion: Smells like real leather, parents said it was real lol! It’s so very soft to the touch, too. I bought this during the summer but decided to wait until now because it was a Christmas present. Yes, I shop that early on in the year. My Mom received this wallet part of her Christmas present so I couldn’t post it until now.

Paid: $3.85 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 21 business days
My opinion: For $4, you get a Longchamp knock-off nylon bag! It’s completely only worth the $4 though, as it’s dollar-store quality.

OOTWW + Triple F Friday #12

So I got a new camera from the Boyf for Christmas. The photos are kind of absudrly bright. Sorry? lol. I need to read the manual more. It’s not light enough outside to take photos without the flash when I snap these before work. Thus, the intense bright flash.

Onto the OOTWW:

ootww

Lucky me with a two day work week. Ha! I took Wednesday off from work so I could unpack and do some errands before heading back.

Ah! I love Triple F Fridays. Short for Fun, Fit and/or Fashionable people that stood out to me in the last blogging week. :) Here we go…

calypsoSierra spent the Holidays in Mauritius! Check out some of her outfits she pulled together. Loveee that dress.

Armani-Eyes-To-Kill-Mascara-Lancome-Hypnose-Doll-Lashes-YSL-Shocking-630x420Rae talks about her thoughts on high end mascaras.

dec26_ootd1This is from last week. But since I didn’t do a Triple F Friday last week, I’m showing her post today. Leanne has some New Years resolutions too. To continue this she’s posting her outfits of the work week, as well! This is her Boxing Day OOTD which features Le Chateau, American Eagle, and Michael Kors.

amanda-riding-boot-tory-burchLena bought some pretty amazing Tory Burch boots. I actually want them. I wonder what size boot she wears… can I buy them off you? No, really.

afoodiestaysfitTeri blogged about how she made herself significantly faster as a runner. How that was possible, by her already speedy legs —I have no idea. But she’s done it.
