Summer Haul

I know this post is late especially since I am posting it after my "Things I'm loving this fall" post, but I wanted to wait until I had everything I ordered during the summer. Which took much longer than expected thanks to my accidental decisions to order things from china markets, not to say they are bad but they take really long to get here from my experience. I did buy quite a few things (about 20 items most from online) hopefully I don't miss anything. I will have links to most of these items and to other blog post they are featured in.
      The first thing I brought were my messenger bag and a pair of sneakers for my friend. He told me he loves them.

The next thing I ordered were two pairs of pants. I thought the first one were going to be jeans but they were more like a combination of sweat pants and jeans. When I received them they were to small but it is my fault for buying a item with no customer reviews from Amazon. The second pair (from a different seller) fit nicely when I tried them on.

The next thing I ordered was one of those electric face cleaners with the brush attachment. I love this so much I honestly do not know how I went on in life without it. It came with five attachments and I only use two of them which is the brush and nail file. I don't really know how to use the others.

I also ordered a pair of platform sneakers hoping they would make me look taller. I liked them at first until I realized how cheaply made they are. The bottom sole came loose and sort of flaps when I walk.

The next thing I bought which was really just a repurchase was my Nutribullet blender. The first time I bought it I purchased it from Bed Bath & Beyond and I returned it because my smoothie weren't coming out very smooth and I realized I needed the money back anyways. I don't have anything bad to say about the blender because it's not its fault my smoothie making skills are terrible.

I ordered a cheap tripod from amazon. I have only used it a few times in my home and it hasn't broken yet. At its shortest it's the height of a couch. I haven't put my camera on it while it's completely extended because it seems almost flimsy in that state. It is said to extend to 50" though.

 I ordered my camera bag insert and a shutter release timer remote. I like the camera bag insert because it keeps me a bit more organized than usual especially when I don't have my camera. It would be better if I had a bag a bit smaller so the insert has no extra space to move around while I walk. As for the remote it stopped working with my camera after two uses because of what I assume (based on other reviews) was because of the cord that connected the remote to my camera. Checking it out again (Oct 26th) I found that the problem with it is that it doesn't focus but it still takes pictures.

I also ordered a 32gb Sandisk flash drive that I wanted to use to repair my laptop that I bought March 2013. I made a recovery drive but I couldn't fix it. Although I couldn't fix it I'm glad I made the recovery drive because two days later my working laptop messed up while trying to install the Windows 8.1 update so it was able to repair itself.

For my hair I bought a 12 ounce container of Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream and Curlformer dupes called Vakind Hair Curler Magic Spiral Ringlets Former.

Something else I purchased for my camera was a set of five small microphones that you clip on your shirt. I planned to start a YouTube channel and thought they would be good for when I made videos with my friends and just to have better sound quality.

Three other things I ordered for my camera was the Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Opteka 85mm f/1.8 lenses that I spoke about in a post dedicated to that. With that I purchased Giottos AA1910 Medium Rocket Air Blaster which is used to blow dust from your camera lens.

The last thing that I ordered and never received was a 15 color concealer palette.
I placed the order for it on August 22 and waited patiently even though I thought the delivery time frame was ridiculous. When I didn't receive the product I contacted them and was given a refund on October 18th. October 24 I re-ordered it from a different seller hopefully I receive this one.
