Speaking of which, has anyone ordered these kinds of gloves from Ali? Like the chainmail kind that you'd recommend?

I found it following the related stuff from the mini-tools, and it costs 62 bux! Reviews are all positive and the page does nothing to explain what it does.

Can someone recommend a good tripod for an SLR please

My cheapo Chinese tripod I bought off Amazon years ago has started to fall apart...

Also - I bought some of those Dick Butt Velcro patches to go on some tactilol pouches I use for cables and stuff - well worth the money

If your current cheapo chinese tripod from amazon fell apart, i'm not sure what you're expecting from an even more cheapo AE version. it'll probably be the exact same model but with 70% of the build quality.

I use AliExpress for little tools I expect to rarely use or which are mostly impossible to get wrong (say, those pin vises I linked to earlier) but if you're using something seriously it's worth buying the good stuff. A $150-$200 Manfrotto tripod will last forever and is a good investment for your presumably-more-than-$150 digital SLR.

With tripods it's buy one cry once. 3 Legged Thing's Travis is great for the price.

I agree but one of the middlemen being eliminated is quality control. Which is fine for post-its but questionable for cookware that might melt or poison you or both. If you're brave enough, though, there are already naked cherry palette dupes on ali


ohhh that said I do NOT do cosmetics on ali. besides, I actually have super good luck with hot topic's Blackheart palettes which cost like eight dollars :shrug: . still a markup honestly for that much mica and pigment but drat they ain't bad. Immortal Glow is a really solid one.

Yooooo let me tell you about w7 palettes. They have dupes for the entire Naked collection, in nice tins, for like $7 on Amazon (it's a UK company). The only downside is they take awhile to come out, but they're so good I have no idea why they don't get more buzz

e: I apply over a base that acts as a primer, and for shimmery stuff I always apply wet anyway for ~more sparkle~

you dont trust putting something on your face from a country with constant health violations at all levels? Hey now poison is pretty expensive, i doubt they would waste it on makeup when baby formula still costs so much.

I've been on a wild aliexpress bender for months now and the only quality issues I have had is with jackets made of plastic and t-shirts made of strange but acceptable and possibly beneficial material blends (they look like cotton but have the texture of hard wearing workout gear). One t-shirt had transparent mesh panels that didnt show in the image since they had put it on over a colour matched undershirt (it looks a lot less pleasant when you are looking at chest hair and pale goon-skin through those mesh panels). All the gadgets I have bought have turned out great. I have $5 sleep headphones that may actually be better than my $80 official sleepPhone branded pair. My digital spirit level and stud finder both work great and somehow made it to suburban Western Australia in two days when domestic deliveries generally take over a week or two. I also had some travel bottles arrive literally hours after I ordered them which seems a little odd. I definitely wouldn't risk any cosmetics though.
