Recent Online Purchases ~ Second BornPrettyStore Experience

Hello again!! Yes! My laptop has finally been repaired! ...Should I write more about it? Ah whatever, it's my blog. Why the hell not? Lol. So around a week and a half ago, I turned on my laptop before leaving for school to use it for a bit, then I turned it off and left it. Usually I unplug the power cord, but when I came home, I realized I left it plugged in, so I unplugged it. A few hours later I tried to turn it on to use, but the screen wouldn't show any image. I thought my external monitor (this is how I use my laptop) was on the fritz again, but I tried playing around with it, unplugging+plugging it back in, but nothing worked. I asked my lil bro for assistance cuz usually he's the techy one who can solve my computer problems, but he couldn't figure it out either. So we both did some googling and we both realized that there was probably something wrong internally with my laptop. Anyway I brought it in to get fixed, a week and a half later, I received a call from the shop saying my laptop is ready to be picked up. I asked the owner what was wrong with it, and he said something went wrong with the motherboard, and that he replaced the chips inside the motherboard instead of replacing the whole thing (I think he said this would probably ruin the laptop, and I'd have to buy another one...). Anyhow I was in a rush so I forgot to ask him how it happened, and how I can prevent it from happening again.. but my little bro and I both think it has to do with it overheating :s Maybe cuz I haven't cleaned the inside of the laptop ever since I got it >.<

ALRIGHTY~ Anyway, here are the items I ordered from the BornPrettyStore for my second order.

 First is this phone case:

Galaxy iPhone 5 Case - $3.03

Here's a close up:

I am so disappointed with this :/ The print is really badly done. You can see in the close up that the print is really streaky and low-quality. I just decided to purchase it cuz I thought it was cute, plus it's only $3... but yeah.... I am not impressed. I'm not even sure if I'll end up using this :/ I find it to be so aesthetically underwhelming... after all, I only purchased it for aesthetic reasons... do not recommend...
 If you're still interested...
Phone case available here.

Secondly is this wrap watch:

Black wrap watch - $8.32

I've wanted a wrap watch for a while now... but I didn't want to invest a lot into one, so I thought I'd just try my luck with this one I found on the website. As expected, the quality isn't great - the sides of the faux leather wrap fray really easily, and of course the tension with the closing belt part doesn't help with that. It's alright though, it's not like I expected it to be great quality :x Anyway I like this style, I think it's really easy to wear, but I'm still not sure if I'd invest into a more expensive and durable one.
Wrap watch available here.

Next I got this silver spike bracelet:

Silver spike bracelet - $3.59

You may recall that I purchased this same bracelet in gold. I wasn't really that satisfied with that one because the gold colour on it just seems so fake and too yellowy. This silver one is a lot better, and I think I'll wear it more than that gold one... *sigh* wasted a few bucks on that gold one :(
Silver spike bracelet available here.

Next I just got this little pump dispenser bottle:

Pump dispenser bottle - $3.55

This is so useful for nail polish remover! Finally I won't have to spill it all over the place when I'm pouring it out onto a cotton pad =_=! I wish it was a bit cheaper... but oh well, lol.
Pump dispenser bottle available here.

Finally I just picked up these nail sticker tip guides:

Nail tip sticker guides - $0.99

Haven't used these yet, but I thought for a dollar, why not? :p
Nail tip sticker guides available here.

Before I go... I just want to do an update on the first phone case I purchased from the BornPrettyStore.
I thought it would age well... but it's definitely proving me wrong.
THIS CASE GETS DIRTY REALLY REALLY EASILY!!!
And I am a person who tends to get her belongings really dirty really easily.. for no apparent reason... so  I caution you before you purchase it!! I wish someone told me about the kind of material this case is before I purchased it... but there were no reviews on the site... so yeah =_= I think I'll go post one on there soon, just to warn unsuspecting people.... Oh btw the material is like a .... I'm not even sure how to describe it... It's a matte finish and the flowers are sorta bumpy and textured. It's just not glossy and it definitely does not endure scratching very well. Yeah... the best I can do is call it matte... I think :s

 Look at those nasty yellow/orange stains on it!! They won't even come off with soap.. T.T Ugh so gross!

 For comparison...

Here's a picture of when I first got it to compare.... *sigh*.....
OH! One more thing, this case gets scratched really easily also... the print gets scratched off really easily.
I definitely do not recommend this case ._." Even if your belongings don't get dirty super fast like mine and you want this case because it's just so pretty..... don't. :/ I mean unless you really want to. It's not like I can stop you, lol. It's available here.

OK that's all for now! I'll be back soon :p Cya~
