🔌 NFC AMB Chargeable Emulator for Nintendo Switch/WiiU/3DS
I picked this NFC AMB Chargeable Intelligent Emulator because I’ve always wanted a way to use Amiibo features in my Nintendo Switch games without spending a fortune on physical figures. This little device lets you emulate different Amiibo cards and figures, and I was curious whether it would actually work as advertised.
Shipping took about 2.5 weeks to the U.S., which was faster than I expected. It arrived in a small but sturdy box with a short USB charging cable and some basic instructions.
Using it was surprisingly easy. After watching a short YouTube tutorial, I was able to download the Amiibo .bin files and use the device with both my Switch and my old 3DS. Works perfectly with Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing, and even Super Smash Bros.
Pros: – Saves you tons of money on Amiibos – Rechargeable and works with multiple systems – Super compact and portable
Cons: – The UI isn’t beginner-friendly without watching tutorials – Feels a bit plasticky
For $15, it’s a steal compared to buying even a single Amiibo figure in the U.S. (which costs $13–$25 each). This product absolutely met and exceeded my expectations.
US $16.03

🎮 Cookie Run Chibi Keychains – Candy Apple Set
I grabbed this Candy Apple Cookie Run keychain set mainly because I’m a huge Cookie Run fan and I love accessorizing my backpack with game-themed merch. The designs looked cute and the reviews were glowing.
The keychains arrived in 16 days, each individually wrapped in bubble plastic. They look exactly like the product photos — the colors are vivid, and the detailing is impressive.
Pros: – Super lightweight but durable – Vibrant print and clear epoxy finish – Characters are instantly recognizable
Cons: – Keychain loop is a bit flimsy – A little small for the price
At under $3 per keychain, it’s significantly cheaper than official game merch sold on Etsy or at conventions in the U.S. Very happy with this one.
US $1.34

🍪 Pure Vanilla & Shadow Milk Keychain Set
This Cookie Run fan keychain set features Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk — characters I love for their aesthetic and lore. I liked that the designs were soft, pastel-colored and less mainstream.
Delivery was similar to the previous one — fast and well-packed. These came with protective films on both sides of the acrylic, which I appreciated.
Pros: – Subtle pastel look perfect for minimalist style – Doesn’t scratch easily – Clear, polished acrylic
Cons: – The ring attachment could be tighter – Some edges feel a little sharp
Similar custom keychains in the U.S. would cost around $8–$12 each. At $1.50 per item, I feel like I robbed a candy store. Definitely exceeded expectations.

💄 O.TWO.O Matte Velvet Lipstick
This O.TWO.O matte lipstick caught my eye because of its sleek packaging and claims of high pigmentation and smudge-proof wear. I went with a classic deep red shade.
Delivery took 3 weeks, and the lipstick was well-packaged in a gold-foil box. First impression? Surprisingly luxurious for the price.
Application was smooth and the pigment is no joke. It dries down velvety matte but doesn’t crack. It even held up through coffee and lunch — no smudging.
Pros: – Rich color payoff – Comfortable to wear all day – Doesn’t transfer easily
Cons: – Slight chemical scent initially – Not totally kiss-proof
In U.S. drugstores, a similar-quality matte lipstick would go for $10–$18. I paid under $3. Totally worth it.
US $1.19

🌸 O.TWO.O 3-in-1 Blush Stick
This multi-use blush stick functions as lip tint, cheek color, and even a light eyeshadow. I chose a soft coral shade and loved how compact it looked.
Shipping was fast — just under two weeks. The product is creamy, blends well with fingers or a sponge, and gives a natural flush.
Pros: – Creamy, blendable texture – Portable size for on-the-go use – Very pigmented — a little goes a long way
Cons: – Not great on oily lids as eyeshadow – Cap feels a bit loose
Compared to Milk Makeup or Fenty’s similar sticks (which retail for $20+), this is an excellent dupe for under $4. Met my expectations and more.

🍭 Cookie Figures Keychains – Full Set
These Cookie Run figures as keychains were too cute to resist. I bought them as gifts and ended up keeping most of them.
Shipping took just over two weeks. Each character was bagged separately and protected well. The figures are slightly rubbery with adorable chibi designs.
Pros: – Adorable sculpt details – Decent quality rings – Nice for collectors or fans
Cons: – Not very large (smaller than I imagined) – Might not survive rough use
At $1–$2 per piece, this is a great deal compared to official figures, which cost $10+ each in the U.S. They made me smile.

✍️ O.TWO.O Eyebrow Pomade & Gel Duo
I’ve been using the O.TWO.O 2-in-1 brow pomade and wax for about a month now, and honestly, it works better than some drugstore products here in the States.
I got the medium brown shade, and it was spot on for my hair. Comes with a little brush, too. Lasts through sweat and 90°F heat.
Pros: – Long-lasting and smudge-resistant – Creamy but dries matte – Nice angled brush included
Cons: – Packaging feels light – Limited shade range
This is easily comparable to Maybelline or NYX, which cost $8–$12. For $3, I’ve already ordered a backup.

👁️ Yelix L+ Curl Lash Extensions
I’m not a pro lash tech, but these Yelix L+ curl individual lashes caught my eye because they offer unique curls hard to find in U.S. stores.
The lashes arrived in perfect condition, labeled by length. They’re super soft, lightweight, and retain curl well even after washing.
Pros: – Variety of lengths in one tray – Matte finish looks natural – Easy to fan out for volume sets
Cons: – Tray design could be clearer – Slight smell at first (goes away)
Salon-grade lashes in the U.S. can cost $15–$25 per tray. I paid under $6. Definitely met expectations.

Pros: – Padded 17” laptop sleeve – Sleek and professional look – USB port works great
Cons: – A bit heavy even when empty – Straps could be softer
U.S. backpacks with similar specs go for $50–$80. I paid $28. Easily one of my favorite AliExpress buys.

It came in 10 days — fastest item in the order. The patch feels premium and has strong hook-and-loop backing.
Pros: – Durable embroidery – Easy to apply – Great color contrast

💧 O.TWO.O Lip & Cheek Tint Gloss
Lastly, I tried this O.TWO.O liquid lip tint mostly out of curiosity. I picked a nude pink shade and was surprised how moisturizing it felt.
It glides on smoothly and gives a natural flush on lips and cheeks. Not sticky at all, and fades evenly.
Pros: – Lightweight and hydrating – Subtle but buildable color – Multipurpose
Cons: – Slightly sheer – Needs reapplication after meals
At under $2, this is a serious competitor to Glossier’s Cloud Paint or K-beauty tints. Definitely exceeded my expectations.
US $1.19
✅ Final Verdict
I honestly didn’t expect to be this satisfied with my first big AliExpress haul. Most products arrived in under three weeks, well-packaged, and exactly as described — sometimes better. The price-to-quality ratio blew me away, especially for cosmetics and keychains. I’ll definitely be ordering again and already have a few things in my cart. If you’re careful with reviews and photos, you can score some seriously good stuff without breaking the bank.
