My first Lazada.ph experience review

My friend and I are first time shoppers in Lazada.  We wanted to try and experience shopping from their site.  Just about the right time, my Etude House retractable brush died on me.  So I thought, this is a good chance!

My friend ordered a powerbank and I ordered an Ecotools brush set.  My friend and I ordered together to take advantage of the free shipping.  We placed the  order last Thursday 10/15/2015.

My order arrived before than my friend's!  I got it last Wednesday, 10/21/2015.  Amazing!  I was really excited XD.  My friend said that gadgets may take time to be delivered.  So, he's still on the plateau phase of waiting.

I was really excited.  Aside from being my first Lazada purchase, this would be my first Ecotools set too!  And lo and behold when I opened the package~~~~ 

My excitement went from 10 then down...

NOTE:  Photos were taken with Asus Zenfone 2 Laser.  Images are so crisp! XD


From the logo itself, it screams fake already!


Judge them yourself.

From the looks of the brushes, they don't have the burnt "Ecotools" embedded on their handles.

Powder brush up close: Notice the ferrule.

The pouch:  No "Ecotools" sewn.

The package:  Leaf prints are not detailed.

Well, there you have it.  My first Lazada experience is like a 6/10 for me.  The delivery was fast, really fast for that matter.  However, I didn't expect that they would sell a counterfeit (At the back of my mind, I'm hoping that I am wrong.  You judge them yourself and prove me wrong XD).

On the bright side, the brushes feel soft.  I will get back to you on how they perform.

With this experience, I will not purchase brushes from Lazada anymore.  I'll buy from legit resellers next time.

How about you, have experienced something like this from Lazada?

By the way, my friend's order hasn't arrived yet as of this moment.  They're really hitting the 7-10 day mark, I guess.
