If you guys aren’t familiar with AliExpress…. smh… go check it out now!! It is a shopping site/app that offers TONS of vendors based out of China. The products are super affordable so if you are patient to wait for shipping from China (usually free) to get a good deal, then this is for you luv. They also offer coupons all the time, as well as minigames where you can earn extra coupons!
If you sign up with my link and you automatically get $19 worth of coupons, trust me, $19 can get you a lot on this site! https://a.aliexpress.com/_stziYT
The one downside to this site is that not all sellers are reputable, as in most situations. So my biggest recommendation is prior to purchasing just check the seller’s rating and the actual product reviews. Any product that has been purchased by someone at some point will have reviews, most with pictures as well, so you will be aware what you are purchasing.
I have been shopping this site for legit years and there is like never a time where my cart has less than 30 items in it.. so I figured it’s about time to share some of my favorite purchases, just wait till you see the prices!!!
CLOTHES
Buying clothing from this website can seem tricky, just pay attention to sizing as it can be different. Sellers offer size charts which are helpful but I still stick by checking reviews.
Faux Leather Jacket $13.59
I was hesitant at first purchasing this as I didn’t know what the quality would be, but the reviews were great and I am so happy with this jacket! I had been looking for a faux leather jacket and how can you beat this price?! I typically wear a XS/S and went with a S with this jacket, it fits but if you want some extra arm room or want it a lil over-sized. I got black but it also comes in a cute maroon/wine red that I lowkey need in my life.
Solid Lettuce Trip Crop Top $6.99
I love this top SOOO much, it is a little see-through so just make sure you wear a nude/white bra (or f*ck it and wear a cute color bra) Totally worth the price, it is comfy and fits perfect!! I went with an XS in the camel color, it comes in 4 different color options.
Long Sleeve Square Neck Top $6.47
This is a serious staple for me, I pretty much wear it to work at least once a week. SO comfortable and surprisingly thick material, there is also a double layer at the chest so it is not see-through. I got a S in black and will be ordering white and red soon.
Jewelry/Accessories
Personalized Name Necklace (45cm) $4.99
I wear a lot of jewelry, but also change it up all the time, so it is not practical for me to buy all nice jewelry. This seller allows you to choose a font, metal color and customize a necklace with your name. I also got my sister one and she loves it! Just keep in mind it is not real gold/silver so avoid showers etc.
Super cute and is adjustable. Comes in silver or gold (again not real)
BEAUTY/HAIR SH*T
This site is sooo useful for basic things we need that can be taxed when purchasing in store.
I personally purchased this brush set specifically for the cute lil mini fan brush (ahhmazing for brow bone and nose highlight) but having a ton of extra eye brushes is super handly, especially if you play around with eyeshadow like me and don’t want to ruin your good brushes. Also good for nail art!
DUcare Double-Sided Eyebrow Brush $2.00
I bought this brush in 2017 and still use it to this day… that’s kinda scary lol.. but this brush is perfect, I’m so picky with brow brushes and this checks all my boxes
Jade/Rose Quartz Facial Roller $1.82-$6.62
Black Fine Tooth Metal Pick Comb $0.73
RANDOM SH*T
5ml Metal Refillable Perfume Bottle $0.75
This was a great purchase, I am kind of over the body mist scent, I prefer perfumes that last me through the day. When you buy a nice bottle of perfume, it is not always convenient to carry the whole bottle in your purse. That’s where these lil guys come in. I put these in stockings for all my girls and family for Christmas and they were a huge hit (um and less than $1) They are decent quality and the sprayer works great! Good affordable gift idea (even for yaself)
One of my most boring but also most useful purchases was this set of metal straws. I don’t want to get into the whole plastic straw situation, but I did decide to purchase metal ones for myself. This set comes with 4 straws, 2 straight ones and 2 that have a bend (for shorter glasses). I use these religiously, they even give you a little cleany thingy so they don’t get naaasttyyy.
This seller has great reviews and offers different options including various colors, more/less straws, and the option for a little bag, which I recommend and wish I had gotten as I would love to keep one in my purse.The best part about these straws? The set I got was only $1.70 and free shipping!
NAIL SH*T
Holographic Nail Powder (1G) $1.41
This is one of my favorite purchases period. The small jar lasts a long time and applying the holo is surprisingly easy. I will be doing a post on holographic nails soon so stay tuned! This seller offers TONS of different holo powder colors so stock up.
Rosalind Clear UV Gel Topcoat $1.00
As most of you probably know, I do my own acrylic/gel/dip nails. In my Budget Nails Tutorial, I shared my secret nail supplier (AliExpress). Forreal though, the price of their nail accessories and tools is incomparable to buying it in store. Obviously not everything is GREAT quality, that’s why we read reviews sis.
To see some of my favorite nail crystals see my Budget Nail post 🙂
I hope you guys enjoyed, and that if you didn’t shop Ali before, you’re welcome for putting ya on 😉
I have some items on the way so I will be posting an AliExpress haul soon! Leave a comment if you have any favorites or cool finds from this site!
