Wish/Home App Haul #1!

Hey Guys!

If you haven’t heard about Wish let me fill you in. It’s an Asian based site that you can get some really cool items for really cheap. There are several other apps that are under different names but are operated by the same company. (i.e. Home, Cute, etc…) They have EVERYTHING! Clothing, gadgets, makeup, you name it, they may carry it. For this first haul I just wanted to try it out so I got a few different items. (I also have 2 more orders on the way so stay tuned for more Wish hauls in the future!

Now, I haven’t tried everything out yet I was waiting for everything to arrive. But as I try them out I will come back and leave little updates. So, without anything further, here is my first haul!

*BEAUTY RELATED*

Here are my beauty related items! I haven’t purchased actual make up from the site, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try out a few brushes! The first set I bought was actually the set of 5 brushes. They are a set of eye brushes and only cost me $1 for the set! (Everything pictured was $1 plus $1 shipping each.) Also purchased with that set were the eyelashes. Now, I haven’t tried them out yet because frankly, I don’t know what the hell to do with fake lashes and I’m a bit intimidated. I’m thinking I’m going to use a pair for practice, and if I don’t like them or they don’t look too great for wearing out, I’ll use them for a Halloween look or something.

I also purchased 2 brushes to help with brows. (Another make up area where I am not that great.) The white one is just a simple, small angled brush and the wooden looking one has the spoolie end as well as the angled end. Those two brushes, as I mentioned, were just $1 each! The wooden-like brush is actually a Tarte brush! Definitely a steal.

The last two brushes were one of my last purchases. The black barreled one is a foundation brush and the larger brush is like a fan brush, perfect for highlight. The foundation brush is a tad small and the middle of it has a small indented center which is perfect for liquid foundation. (If you remember my post about Younique, this is the type of brush they recommend for their liquid foundation.) Again, I haven’t tried anything yet as I have been waiting on everything to get here so I could do a haul on it. ☺

Lastly was my most recent purchase which are the small packs of the black face mask. I paid $1 for them and got about 10 packets. I haven’t used them yet but I am so excited to give them a try to see how well they work for removing blackheads and such.

*FASHION RELATED*

These two items were more fashion related. As soon as I saw the necklace I knew I had to have it. I have quite a few tops/outfits that this necklace is going to look great with. I’m thinking that the brass color of the necklace will look great with an army green dress I have. But, I’ll save that for a lookbook. 😉 Anywho…the shirt was probably the most expensive item I have purchased. It was $9 plus $2 shipping, so not terribly bad. I actually have worn the shirt and this is what I thought: I bought an XL (I normally wear a Medium in actual tees and a large in fitted tees because I’m “blessed” up top.) and while it fits nicely, it’s just a tad short for my liking. It hits me right at the top of my pants/hips. I like my shirts to be just a little bit longer that way when I lift my arms my belly doesn’t show. Other than that, I really love this shirt. Plus, when you pull down the pocket, the kitty is shooting a bird. (LMAO) That’s what really pushed me to buy it, I knew the people I worked with would get a kick out of it.

*OTHER*

Last but not least, I purchased these little flamingo drink floats for our pool! They were $1 each plus $1 shipping. On the side there it actually has the website for Oriental Trading, which says a lot, because that site is quite amazing for party supplies. (And speaking of Oriental Trading, I need to make note to look on there for birthday and holiday items.) Anywho, I am so excited about these little guys I bought 4!

I still have some items on the way to me so there will be a second haul coming soon! I love the Wish app for purchases like this and plan on using it for buying Christmas gifts this year as well! I don’t want to say too much on that part just in case someone reads this. 😉  Anywho, these items came relatively fast. They generally give you a longer ship time (sometimes upwards of a month!) but these came in as little as 2 weeks! Actually, I don’t think anything took longer than 3 weeks, if that really. I highly recommend purchasing from this app but there are a few things that I must mention. There are different sellers on the app, so if you see an item you want, try looking around at the price (it may be cheaper from someone else on the site) and also it will note how many other people bought that item. When I’m looking at something on there I try to find it for the lowest price with the most buyers. When it comes to purchasing clothing I only like to look for items that include customer photos so I can see what it looks like from other people. It gives me an idea on how the item may fit as well as how it truly looks. Just a few things to take into account if you plan on purchasing off the site. ☺ I hope you enjoyed this small haul, I can’t wait to share the next items!

Happy Shopping! ♥
