I wanted to do this post for so long and I now finally found the time and got together a few Aliexpress bargains. I order quite a lot on Aliexpress, I mostly have good experiences but sometimes the products did come out differently than I expected or they didn't come at all. I included the links to the products but they probably won't work for a long time, so if they don't, just type the keywords into the search bar and you should find them.
Tube Squeezer ($0.55)
You can get a lot of different versions of these tube squeezers, I got a frog one and a bear one, I'm pretty sure I just ordered randomly and they chose the animals. If these are too childish for you, you can get normal oval squeezers. I put these on any products that come in a tube, like hand creams and toothpaste, any smaller tube packaging will do.
Oval Makeup Brush ($1.41 + shipping)
I have ordered a version of this brush twice before but none of the two orders ever came (they were from different sellers). This brush I got when I ordered for the third time. I got the smaller size which is meant for concealer. I don't get these brushes and why they are (or were) so popular, mine just drags the foundation or concealer around and it doesn't blend it well, not even if I take my time when applying everything. The bristles are very dense and packed together and the brush is not as soft as I hoped it would be. I still prefer using the makeup sponge.
These are one of the best purchases ever. I had the smaller pads for quite some time now. I use them on everyday bases to remove my makeup or to apply toner. They don't maintain the shape or colour when you wash them but that doesn't bother me. They have a softer and stiffer side, I always use the softer side. These also come with a mesh bag so you can throw them in the laundry. The bigger ones I've also had for a while but I didn't use them until after I took these photos. They are very soft but I'm not sure how they will hold up in the wash.
Makeup/Cosmetic/Travel Bag ($1.17-$1.73 + shipping)
These are so good for storing smaller things that you keep in your purse. They are perfect because you can see what is inside. They are also the perfect sizes and narrow so they fit everywhere. I like to keep my stuff together, in one I have lip balm and such things and in the other cables and electronics. They are also quick to just throw from one bag to another.
Sports Waist Bag ($1.47 + shipping)
I ordered one of these waist bags for myself but then my mom wanted to have it and I had to order another one. These are very handy when you go on a walk or run or basically anywhere where you only need a phone, wallet, and keys. They are so small but they stretch so the phone fits without problems. They are good quality and 1.47€ is a steal, I saw these in H&M for around 15€.
Magnetic USB-USB C Cable ($2.84)
I ordered a few chargers but for now, only this one came. It's quite cool, it's magnetic but the magnet is not so strong, the phone has to really be flat on the surface and the cable needs to be in the exact position to work. But it does work.
Multi USB Plug Charger ($2.94)
I also needed another USB adapter and I found this one. I can't really say much other than that it works and it's great if you have limited amounts of sockets and you need space for more USB cables.
I should've just got the normal cable organizers but I wanted to be fancy and get magnetic ones. These are rubbish. Most of the cables don't even fit in the holes and the magnet is not as strong that you could have it on the side of the table. If you pull the cable the magnet won't hold. I got two versions and they are basically the same.
The links above are for Huawei phones but you can quickly find one for your phone. Aliexpress phone cases are great. The holes for buttons are not perfect and you do have to press harder than by the original case but I'm okay with it. I would still rather pay 1-3€ for a case and not 20€ or more, I'm not paying that much for a phone case.
Phone Holder - Pop Socket ($0.86 + shipping)
I love these round holders, I always need to have one on my phone case. I have small hands and it's so much easier to hold the phone. It's also a must for taking selfies and actually watching the videos. I like doing workouts that I find on Youtube and I do them through my phone and it's much easier when I don't have to have something behind my phone for it to stand. I ordered like five of them on Aliexpress but I only received two. This time I went for solid black but before I had a black marble and it looked nicer.
These are some of my buys in the past year or so. My favourite buys are the phone holders and the reusable makeup remover pads. If you are interested in part 2 let me know.
Thank you for reading!
