I was searching for a box for my mom to store eggs as she buys a bunch and then stores them in a simple plastic box, where sometimes they get smashed from the weight of themselves.

Delivered: Mar 27, 2018 Package: Black plastic bag taped in for security, plastic wrap, transparent plastic bag.
Item: box with separator inside and a lid that can be fixed so it wouldn’t open by itself. Box has egg shaped hallows at the bottom so your eggs wouldn’t move. Same hallows are at the separator. Lid has a handle that fits in. At first I thought the bums at the bottom will make it unstable but I was wrong – it was as stable as it should be. My mom uses this as o this day.

Item: Plastic box with a lid and a handle. Unfortunately it was broken (probably during shipping) – the side was cracked and I couldn’t use it to hold things as everything was spilling out. I asked and eventually after a lot of emailing and pictures I got a refund.

Ebay +1 I actually used some of the plastic cut out of it as a divider in other box. Other than that I cant actually judge as I didint use it as intended.

Delivered: Mar 16, 2018 Package: Plastic bag with bubble wrap inside. Plastic transparent bag
Item: transparent 10×10 cm piece of silicone with some bumps on it. I never managed to put it on anything. I thought it was going to be bigger somehow, it actually could only cover a cup at most. So I figured I could use it to cover a cup that I make my porridge in. But it was a fail as it doesn’t close it tightly – I just could toss it over and that’s it. And I think I lost it somewhere when I moved to a different office.

Its just fail. Either I didn’t know how to use it – but it looked straight forward, either it didn’t work.

Delivered: Mar 14, 2018 Package: Gray plastic bag, some plastic wrapping, transparent bag
Item: its a box divided into two sections. Each can be opened separately. I use it to transfer some cut vegies like paprika, mushrooms and so on. Its quite small though – not much can fit in. But its good to keep leftovers.
Ebay vs. Reality
Reality +1 for being a bit small, +1 for cover, as it opens up all the way even if you try to open only one side, +1 lid is not smooth so stacking is a problem. Ebay +1 its good to keep in fridge +1 actually useful sometimes.
My kitchen is quite small and my stove is really near the sink. Every time I cook something I need to put a lid somewhere but usually all the counter space is already used up and hot (sometimes wet from steams) lid is not exactly something you can throw anywhere.

Order date: Feb 11, 2018 Estimated: Tue. Feb. 27 – Mon. Apr. 9 Tracking: None Quantity: 1 Paypal name: MA JINNA
Item: Metal holder that you can arrange from the pieces – the bottom part something like a small plate with two sides (one for lid and one for spoon or other utensils), the holding part – metal wire like holder shaped in square, 2 screws to hold the holding part to the bottom part.
At first I didint use it. But I think after a year or so I put it between my sink and stove and its still there used every time I cook. I put it in a dishwasher after use. I wouldn’t call this a stainless steel though, I already see some rust starting to show up at the joint between holder and bottom part.

Ebay +1 for working as intended, +1 I still use it, + 1 for the shape, it actually can hold almost any size of lid, +1 fits in my space. -1 not truly stainless.
Order date: Feb 11, 2018 Estimated: Tue. Feb. 27 – Mon. Apr. 9 Tracking: none Quantity: 1 Color: green Paypal name: JIANGZHONGL
Delivered: Mar 5, 2018 Package: Gray plastic bag, cardboard box. I actually got it paired with other that was almost the same, just different color.
Item: Green drawer with handles to make it stay on the shelf. I actually got two of the same kind at the same time as I mentioned before.
You slide it on the shelf and it becomes a small drawer in a fridge. I use it to store small and light things. But you cant place heavier stuff, lets say tuna can – it will make a drawer go down from the shelf. Nice though – I use them till this day. This particular item is used to store beer yeast.

Ebay +1 Quality is fine, +2 works as intended and I use it that way, +1 useful. Reality -1 doesn’t hold anything a bit heavier.

Delivered: Mar 8, 2018 Package: Gray plastic bag, some plastic wrap.
Item: plastic open box, that looks like a drawer, has holes on the top of the sides and a lower part as a handle at the front. Also has a small colored plastic to go on the front – I guess if you have a few it helps to distinguish one from the other. The length was just write for my fridge and size was quite reasonable. So that was all good things Now about the bad – it had a crack in it (I can still use it, its not like totally broken) which, I believe happened during transportation. The plastic colored part falls off really easily, almost every time you pull on it so I think I just tossed it eventually, it was misshapen and what I hate most the barcode was stuck in a way that it left a glue mark after removal. And yet I still use it to keep dried herbs (that are still on stems and are quite fragile so I cant just leave them lying around). I also got half of the sum back as a refund after some discussion with the seller.

+1 fits well, good size, +1 still useful. -1 it took a lot of emails to get a refund, -1 it had a crack, -1 its still misshapen after few years of use.
At the end of last year I was all about advent calendars. Thought I bought this one a little bit later, but I just wanted the Christmas spirit last a bit longer and what better could be than a present everyday.
Item: Glittering Galaxy Of Makeup Magic – Beauty Advent Calendar
Order date: Jan 1, 2020 Estimated: in 1-2 working days Tracking: DHL tracking number Quantity: 1 + gifts Paypal name: C TILBURY
Delivered: Jan 5, 2020 Package: cardboard box with a lot of bubble wrap and wrapping paper.
Item: Calendar is round box that you can open like a book with small drawers inside. Shape is very cute and I kept the box for future use. It had cracks in the opening though – I’m not sure if that is because of the delivery as it was packaged quite securely. I guess they happened before the packaging.
I also got as a gift a facial dry mask, sample of Multi-Miracle Glow Cream, 3 samples (Charlotte’s Magic Cream, Magic Eye Rescue Cream, Magic Night Cream) and a big empty gift box. The envelope is an invoice.
I used all the samples myself – I liked the mask it was nice, but as I tried the creams one by one I understood, that I probably can’t use them. I have a sensitive skin and after few days (yes samples were bigger, each lasted at least few days) I noticed that the creams started to irritate my skin. I most definitely don’t say that they are bad – I just say I myself can’t use them. The textures of all of them were nice and light, so they absorbed into skin very easily, fragrance was a bit too strong for my liking, but it smelled nice.
So now onto the calendar – it had 12 drawers, not numbered so I opened at random.
1 Day – Charlotte’s Magic Cream – I already tried it as a sample and understood that I couldn’t use it, I gifted it to one of my friends in that big gift box I got with this package.2 Day – Goddess Skin Clay Mask – Also gifted to friend along with the cream3 Day – Wonder Glow, Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash – I kept this one, not using it yet though, but its already on the shelf for use – I intend to use it as a foundation before makeup as it has a bit of shimmer to it and a little bit of color.4 Day – Superstar Lips (lipstick line), Sexy Lips (color) – A bit too dark and a bit too brown for my skin tone. But I kept it as these are hard to gift (except you know exact color other person likes), maybe with the right makeup I might use it..5 Day – Eyes to Mesmerise (cream eye shadow line), Star Gold (Color) – a bit darker gold cream eye shadow – actually really nice, very shimmery and you can choose how thick you can go. Kept it, but didn’t try yet, I think that it should go really well with brown colors.6 Day – Matte Revolution (lipstick line), Pillow Talk (color) – matte lipstick, a bit too brown for my skin tone. I keep it as I don’t have who to gift it to.7 Day – Legendary Lashes vol.2 – Black mascara, I kept this one – its second in line after I finish the one I already have. I prefer silicone bristles though, but I will definitely will give this one a go.8 Day – Supermodel Body – cream that should shape your body, I liked the the inscription on the back “Body in a tube”. I cept it and planning to use it after my L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil will end.9 day – Colour Chameleon (eye shadow pencils line), Champagne Diamonds (color) – light shimmering pencil, very nice color – good to highlight blue eyes. Used it a couple of times.10 Day – Rock ‘N’ Kohl (liquid eye pencils line), Amber Moon (color) – very nice pencil for eye lining. I sometimes use it instead of the shadow as well.11 Day – Take It All Off, Genius Make Up Remover – I use it right now for eye makeup removal. Works really well – doesn’t irritate my eyes as a lot of other makeup removers do, so very good.12 Day – Multi-Miracle Glow – cleanser and mask, I gave it as a gift to a friend with the Magic cream and Clay mask.

+1 for design, +1 for all the products I could give as gifts, +1 for all the products that I actually can use. -1 for tear in a box that I believe happened before the shipping, -1 for lipsticks that are all in wrong color..
The story is the same as behind this. I was hoping that this one will be a bit smarter. Also it had a plastic holder so I was hoping I could hang it in a sing from the side.
Item: 1pc Suction Cup Base Kitchen Brush Sponge Sink Draining Towel Rack Holder
Order date: Apr 23, 2017 Estimated: Wed. May. 10 – Wed. Jun. 7 Tracking: Chinese number Quantity: 1 Color: green (default) Paypal name: WONDERMALL
Delivered: May 9, 2017 Package: Gray plastic bag, packaging wrap.
Item: white plastic box with small holes, has green handle to hang something and a place for brush. Has a handle that I don’t actually know what for – because you can’t hang on it and 4 suction pads.
This is how it looks in full capasity
But as suction doesn’t really work in my sink I just placed it on side in the end. I still use it like that. One thing that don’t know how to acknowledge is that its quite deep so the sponge just almost disappears – its good as it doesn’t show up if its a bit filthy at times, but you also might not notice it and guests who might need it just misses it. Holes at the bottom are quite small so not much liquid from the sponge end up on the counter – well its meant to be in a sink.
Ebay vs. Reality
Ebay +1 useful, +1 quality is good, +1 use it till this day, +1 there is more varieties in same color and design pattern, so you might customize your kitchen in the same manner. Reality +1 design could be improved.
