Tiny-shop Pregnancy Test Kits

These are cheap kits to calm frantic people done after they accidentally had too much fun. However, I would double-confirm with a store-bought kit or with the doctor. FDA wouldn't give much thought to such diagnostic kits (i.e. they do not "clear" such products), so take the results of these kits with a pinch of salt.

Iphonex Premium Pink DIY (Cable + Adapter)

Nowadays, the creativeness of the sellers to cross-sell their items is very admirable. I wish I could do the same for mine, but my conscience screams at me if I were to promote additional things to other people. It's not very nice to be pushing things which people might not need. Seems like I'm not cut out for business.

Back to the main topic, the seller for this item has deviously packed in a smiley-faces-stickers for customisation of a charging plug for Iphone. Initially I only wanted to get the plug head, but in the end I got the cable as well... for the stickers. I'm such a bummer.

I'm not very sure about the charging speed, but from the looks of the item, there were certainly areas to improve on. There were some strands of plastic (glue?) on the charger head. Additionally, the recipient of this product mentioned to me that she tried on the Ipod and the connection was "very tight" and "hard to connect". Maybe it would be better for Iphone? I have no idea.

Dudebabe Dress (Exchange item 8822_Blue)

This is an exchange item done with dress 8796. The material feels like cotton, and the sewing isn't really top-notch. Place the item flat on the floor and there is an obvious uneven bottom frame. The white collar and sleeves are made from different fabric, but got slightly stained with blue dye from the bulk fabric after washing. 

It's a pity that this dress has a glaring sewing defect that renders it "unwearable", and yes it is super obvious as it is found at the beige lace area:

 To salvage the dress, I decided to take a risk by removing the lace area - what if the collar is secured to the dress together with the lace? One wrong move and there goes the whole dress. no venture no gain right? It's a risk I'm willing to take. 

Outcome? 

 Much better.

Budgetmktg Travel Fragrance Perfume Atomizer Spray (Red, Pink)

This is one of the most useful items that I have purchased. Throw away those glass funnels and eliminate spilled perfume, this travel fragrance perfume atomizer will save the day! 

This palm-sized atomizer has a one-way input valve at the bottom, which is a receptacle to the hose nozzle of your luxurious perfume bottle. Just attach the bottom of the atomizer to that nozzle and pump hard a few times, and there you have it, 5ml of perfume on the go!

To check if there are any leakages, I filled the atomizer with some perfume and indicated the level with a sticker. I will report if there are any drops in perfume levels after some time to see if the atomizer is really a one-way valve.

One problem with this is that it is not very suitable to use for multiple fragrances, as the interior cannot be washed. Probably would have to "rinse" with a small amount of new perfume and spray out before filling with the new perfume. Unless one doesn't mind the concoction of two perfumes. Who knows, a new fragrance might be born!

Note: The shipping took really long as the seller did not have stock for the items. In the end they "compensated" with two face masks, which I simply have no issues with.

2) Good with some drawbacks

Processing Time

Time period between the order and shipping date. 

e.g. I ordered the item on 24/3, and the seller dispatched the item on 26/3. Processing time will thus be 2 days. Technically, it should be 3 days, but for convenience and fair adjustment, it is just 26-24 = 2 days.

Delivery Time

Time period between the shipping date and delivery date.

e.g. After the seller had dispatched the item on 26/3, I received the item on 29/3. Therefore, the delivery time will be 3 days. Technically, it should be 4 days, but for convenience and fair adjustment, it is just 29-26 = 3 days.
