FreeBra Update!

If you didn't see my post on my recent eBay purchase of a FreeBra then here it is for you: freebra

I just wanted to do a little update for you incase anyone was thinking of buying on from this seller!

I did send the seller a message to say what had happened, that they had sent me the wrong size and it initially took going backwards and forwards a few times for them to understand what was wrong, they kept saying 'But you ordered a D'! When they eventually got the picture they then would not believe me and said that the items get checked 3 times before being sent out, so I offered to send a photo of the packaging where it clearly states Size C but they have never replied with their email address so I am unable to do that!

For the price I paid its not the end of the world and my friend is able to make use of the bra, but I just think that the seller should have acknowledged the mistake!  I would not have sent it back aS it would have cost too much all the way to China and I would probably have ordered another but as they have been so unhelpful I am not going to bother!

Ho hum! Can't win them all!  x

Car Eyelashes for Sale!

This is a cheeky post, but we are currently sorting through our flat trying to declutter and refresh things ready to put it on the market.  Ooo exciting!  As such I thought I would take the chance to let you all know that we have fun Car Eyelashes for sale on eBay!  They come with plastic 'crystal' eyeliner in either pale blue, silver or bright pink and are £5.50 if you include the cost of the postage!  We are down to the last sets now and I would like to sell them ASAP so that we can empty the cupboard just a little bit more!

The pink ones currently are not on eBay as I only have 4 pairs left and need to put on a new listing, but they are still for sale!

Here is a link if you are interested or of course you can leave me a comment below! x

FreeBra

Recently I seem to have acquired a few tops that have low backs or are racer style.  For this reason I wanted to get myself a NuBra.  I had one years ago and wore it to death so I wanted to try another one out.  If you have not come across this type of bra before it is basically two silicon pads, or chicken fillets as they tend to be known!  You need to apply them to each breast separately and then you clip them together in the middle.  They are great because you can space them further apart or closer together depending on how much of a cleavage you are after!  They are the perfect bra for any style of top that would ordinarily show off your bra straps or cups!  They come with a sticky adhesion on each cup which you need to gently hand wash between each use.  As you can imagine this does mean that the bras have a limited life.

I had a search on eBay and came across these FreeBras.  I thought that the combined price, including postage, was really reasonable so I decided to give this one a bash.  I ordered mine on the 23rd June and it arrived on the 20th July, which I am happy with considering it has come all the way from China.

When the bra arrived the packet was completely squashed, I would have liked to keep the item in its box to help keep it clean and retain its shape so that was a real shame, although I suspect that had more to do with the postal service than the seller!!

The actual bra is exactly what I expected.  It comes with clear straps as well if you like to use those, personally I wouldn't tend to unless I was perhaps wearing a low backed top where you wouldn't see the straps at all.  The cups are fairly thick so if you are not after extra padding then this is perhaps not for you, I don't mind either way, I wasn't looking for extra oomph but I certainly don't mind getting it!  The clip feels sturdy but I would imagine that you would still need to take relative care when putting the bra on and taking it off. 

This bra is only available in A through to D cup and officially I have a bigger bra size, but I decided to go for a D anyway.  Unfortunately they sent me a size C so this will be no good to me.  I am a bit gutted but I have sent the seller a message and hope to hear from them soon.  I think that by the nature of this type of bra one size smaller will be okay but two is pushing my luck, I don't want them to look droopy after all and I think a C would just sit at the bottom of each boob!!

All in all a good product for under £9 but a shame that I got sent the wrong size!  I will keep you updated when I hear back from the seller!

LOTD eBay #4

I really like the peplum style skirts that are in style at the moment and find that they flatter my shape really well.  I have 2 dresses with peplums, one is very dressy and the other a bit more casual but I would like a more every day sort of style and so I found these skirts.  I thought they would look cute with a plain tight tshirt for the day times or a bit more dressed up in the evening, such a good price too.  I think I like the navy one best!

LOTD eBay #3

Happy Thursday everybody!  The LOTD today is eBay, another easy one for me!

Recently I bought one of these nifty shoe stretchers.  I have wide feet and quite often find that if I get a size 7 they slop off but a size 6 pinches, so I thought I would give one of these a try with my smaller sized shoes.  I have stretched 2 pairs so far and the tool has been brilliant! I highly recommend getting one if like me you can't get the perfect fitting shoes straight from the shop!  You only get one sent though so if you have an event in mind then you need to get stretching a few days early to be able to do both!

Happy eBaying! x

LOTD Clothes #3

Mondays LOTD is clothes and this is probably the easiest one of the week for me as I am always looking at clothes on the internet!  This week I saw someone on Instagram wearing this H&M dress and I absolutely loved it so I did a bit of searching and found it on eBay!  I have managed to find an auction going on in my size so I have added it to my watch list and am hoping for a bargain!  If that doesn't work out then I have my eye on the black peace dress from this seller.  Now wouldn't it be nice to get the weather to wear it!

LOTD Ebay#2

So Thursday LOTD is Ebay and this was an easy one for me this week as I have bought a few things on Ebay recently!   Why not pop over to sprinkleofglitter and check out the lovely Giraffe print scarves Louise has found this week!



My Ebay find this week are these silver script scroll initial pendants.  Years and years ago I was bought this rather cute necklace from Disneyland by a friend, I love it and have worn it lots over the years but one sad day I took it off and the pendant went flying across the room! I searched for it and don't think I hoovered for a week but it never turned up!  Last week I had a tidy up of my jewelry box and found the chain with the little Mickey Mouse still on and thought I would have a look on Ebay for initial pendants and sure enough I found one that was almost identical to the original! Hooray!  Adding the fact that it was only £3.45 with the p&p made me very happy!

As ever I am looking forward to finding lots of Ebay gems via your respsonses! x

LOTD Ebay

So today's LOTD is ebay and here is Louise's pick of the day! sprinkleofglitter

I have chosen these STUDS to share with all.  I actually bought these in January and the plan was (and still is) to find some denim shorts and customise them a bit, but I haven't been able to find the perfect shorts yet, which is a shame as I have 3 ideas so I will need to hunt out 3 pairs! Ho hum, hopefully by the time we see some sunshine I will have found them!
None the less I have the studs ready and waiting!  The item arrived to me quickly which is great and if you search through their shop there are all sorts of customising treasures to be found as well as hair accessories etc!
I feel this may be another dangerous post though, as I am bound to find lots of items I want by looking through your responses to Louise! x
