Temu. Product and Website Review.

 

I've been watching Youtubers try out Temu for a few months now, I decided to make my own purchase. I got an array of items. This site is similar to Wish and Aliexpress and I've done my fair shop of each of those, so I was excited to see a new one. I used the app to make my purchase but they do have a website!

Here's a breakdown of what all I bought:

Here is a breakdown of my order:

I placed my order March 10th 2023 and I got it March 24th 2023, this is the fastest shipping I've had from one of these sites, as Wish and Alixpress typically taking 2 months on average for an order, so this made me very happy!

Here is what I got in the mail and I will review each item:

This bra I ordered in xl the largest they had (Of this particular item, they do have plus items, Im mid so I can fit either sometimes) and it just fits, if I was any bigger it would not fit. For reference I wear a 36 C/D bra. I had to note it comes with adjustable straps and it came with padding but the one was bent out of shape so I just removed them. Its nice looking, fitting and feeling; very flattering on, I'm overall happy with my purchase and I rate it 5/5.

I love Koya so much, this one feels and looks great! Adorable! I'm happy and it'll be great for my BT21 collection! I have no complaints and I'm in love. I rate it 5/5.

So the hat itself and print were not great quality, this was the one item I was not in love with but it's not a bad hat overall and it fit me fine, I rate it 3/5.

I'm in love with this plush capybara! Its so adorable! It looks and feels fantastic! I could pet it all day long haha. I think it's a little smaller than I wanted, out of my personal taste but that's not an issue, it fits in well in my plush collection and I rate it 5/5.

So funny story about the nose ring. The tiny studs fell off as I took it out of the bag and they got lost haha AND I put it on the first time and it didnt sit right in my nose, unlike how good it looked on others, it could've been just not suited for my particular nose. I went to put it on a second time to take a photo for review AND IT SLIPPEED OUT OF MY FINGERS AND I LOST IT IN THE SINK lmao! Yikes, so there is no photo haha sorry. It was still pretty neat and again looked great on others, so it was not a bad purchase and I rate it 4/5.

Lastly the rug. I'm not unpacking it currently as I need it for moving but I opened the bag to take a photo and get a feel. It's so soft! It feels great and looks great BUT I gotta admit it looks not quite like the ad photo material wise BUT I'm not unhappy, I can't wait to put it up in my new room! I rate it 4/5.

My final thoughts are, this is a great company! I've had hit and misses with the other two companies but this one was the most successful across the board, I may have had one just okay product but the others I was happy with or in love with! I would do business with them again in the future. I just want to admit, I felt overwhelmed by all the products, I wouldn't shop often here, it's a lot to take in with endless scrolling but if you're in the mood for some shopping, it would be great!

I also gotta mention Koya was not part of my initial purchase but if you add items to your order quickly after your first purchase, you can add it to your first shipment and not need to wait for any additional shipments.

I also wanted to note: they often have great sales, as well as ways to get free or discounted items, through things like spins and invites. I helped one of my friends get an item by using her code when signing up for Temu, it's overall pretty neat.

Mr Puffs. Assorted Dessert Puffs Review.

This is my first time at this restaurant, they sell Puffs, which to me are like a funnel cake meets a donut. I got 4 flavours, cookies n cream, cinnapuffs, cinnamon sugar and apple cinnamon.

Above are the cookies n cream, they are DELICIOUS! I loved the texture, flavour and taste overall so lovely. Id like to note each box comes with picks to eat with, I just didn't use them to take photos haha oops. I loved this flavour and I rate it 4.5/5.

These are the cinnapuffs, they are like baby cinnamon buns, they are lovely. I think they need more icing but otherwise they were great and I rate them 4/5.

These are the apple cinnamon ones, they are nice but probably my least favourite, just out of personal taste, overall still good and I rate them a strong 3.5/5.

Lastly the cinnamon sugar ones, these are lovely, nothing fancy of course but my go to dessert flavour is usually cinnamon sugar, I don't have any complaints about these ones and I rate them 4/5.

Overall a very good first taste, I got 4 boxes and they were on promotion 2 for $12, which is a great price as a single dozen alone is $8. I would go again and they gave me a stamp card to use for the future, to get you free dozens.

Update: eat them warm! If you let them get cold they get so doughy and are very hard to eat.

Prime. Strawberry Watermelon Hydration Drink Review.

I've done two other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the strawberry watermelon.

This is the best one in my opinion, I taste more strawberry than anything and it was nice, fruity and almost candy-like. I didn't get to try it out in the other states, as I did the other ones (open sitting at room temp, open sitting in the fridge and shaken up) so there's no guarantee it would still be good but I was sharing it, so I didn't get the full experience but just know the flavour can drastically change. I'd get it again and I might in the future for an update but for now I rate it 4/5.

Prime. Meta Moon Hydration Drink Review.

I just did a review for this brand (search or check it out on my blog) and today I'm trying the meta moon flavour.

This is not as nice as I've heard, the first sip was white grapes and as I drank it, it did get better in flavour, fruity, almost candy-like and not bad but nothing to write home about. I don't think I'd get this again and I rate it 3/5.

Prime. Ice Pop Hydration Drink Review.

 

I'm doing a few of these drinks for review, stay tuned for them. Today I'm trying the Ice Pop flavour. This hydration drink is flavoured and has coconut water in it.

The first sip was delicious, just like a rocket popsicle with no trace of coconut which is good, as I don't enjoy coconut water, it was so lovely and I'd rate it 4/5. BUT WAIT, I discovered it changes flavours in 3 other circumstances; if you leave it sit at room temp, leave it to sit in the fridge or shake it. These flavours are all drastically different and none of them are as good anymore, it makes the drink kinda weird in flavour and often too limey. As the drink continues to change, I like it less, I don't think I'd get it again but I rate it 3.5/5.

Gong Cha. Creme Brulee Strawberry Latte and Oreo Waffle Review.

 

This is my first review from this restaurant. I may try it again in the future.

I got the creme brulee strawberry latte with strawberry jelly. The strawberry portion of the drink was divine and the jelly was a good addition but I'm not into creme brulee, Ive learned for a second time haha. I think this is the last time I'm getting anything creme brulee. I couldn't rave enough about the strawberry portion of the drink but I had to review it whole. I would not get it again but I rate it a 3.5/5.

I then got the Oreo waffle. The Oreo foam is disgusting, as the texture ruined the whole waffle, I've never had a foam to eat but I'm not about it at all. Though the plain part of the waffle itself wasn't too bad, just okay. I didn't eat even half of it, I couldn't get past the foam. I regret getting it and I rate it 1.5/5.

Lindt. Swiss Luxury Selection Chocolates Review.

Today's Valentines day and I have a review! I usually do cheap chocolate or candy but not this year. I got this Lindt Swiss Luxury Collection. I got it for 4 bucks at a local grocery store, when this retails for 26 bucks, what a steal!

Here is the back, showcasing all the types of chocolate:

I will be going through each chocolate and giving a review, sorry I may not have gotten a cross section or back shot of every single one but I did my best haha, I'm no professional.

This is the Carre De Stracciatella, I don't know why I kinda disliked this one but I did, it was also not texturally pleasant for me, the flavour was alright but I wouldn't eat it again and I rate it 2.5/5.

This is the Coeur A L'Orange, this tastes like a Terry's chocolate orange and I don't love it as I'm not a dark chocolate person but it was rather nice, lovely combination of chocolate and orange and the texture was nice. I'd eat this one again and I rate it 3.5/5.

This is the Carmelita, I love the little detail on top with the writing Caramel on it, it's cute! I don't really enjoy caramel, I'm very picky about it, so I didn't love this one but it wasn't too bad, it was similar to a Caramilk. I don't think I'd eat it again and I rate it 3/5.

This is the Pointe De Chocolat, this is solid in the center and was just fine, nothing to write home about. I would consider eating it again and I rate it 3/5.

 

I'll be honest when I say I hate coffee or coffee flavours, except Coffee Crisp. I was NOT thrilled to try this and with reason, it's a very coffee forward chocolate, so bitter and it was not for me surely. I've had much worse chocolate so it wasn't the worst. I would not eat it again and I rate it 1.5/5.

This is the Triangle Aux Noisettes. This was lovely! Yummy chocolate and hazelnut flavour, this was a lot like a Ferrero Rocher and the texture was nice too, the crunchy pieces were fun to eat. I'd say this is my favourite one and I'd eat it again, I rate it 4/5.

This is Creme Brulee, I'm not a fan of Creme Brulee but this was a surprise, the flavour was light and not that bad, I went into it nervous but it was nice. I'd consider eating it again and I rate it 3.5/5.

This is the Amande Croquante. This was really nice, I enjoy chocolate and almond together, almost much as I love the hazelnuts. It had a nice crunch and texture, I was overall happy. I'd get it again for sure and I rate it 4/5.

This is the Dragon Noir. I'm again not a lover of most dark chocolate, so this one was not for me. I've had worse dark chocolate but this I still did not enjoy personally but the dragon design on the chocolate was cute! I wouldn't eat it again and I rate it 1.5/5.

This is the Macchiato. Again I was nervous about coffee flavours but I was surprised once again! This tasted a lot like a Coffee Crip and the star shape was so cute haha! I'd consider eating it again and I rate it 3.5/5.

This is the Perle De Cacoa. This was nice in flavour and texture but nothing to write home about, lot's of interesting textures. I'd consider eating it again and I rate it 3/5.

This is the Cornet D'Or. It has a lovely tasting and textured almond praline in the center, this was so yummy! I also though the cute gold foil made it charming, it's a funky shaped chocolate unlike I've had before. I would eat this again for sure and I rate it 4/5.

Lastly, this is the Tiramisu. This one also surprised me haha, lot's of surprises today but it was not heavy in coffee flavour, which of course I liked. The pretty layers made this nice to look at and textually it was nice. I'd consider eating it again and I rate it 3.5/5.
