#BlogLife1034 - 5 months later MyCarbon Face Brush needs it's second charge..

Hmm the Sainsbury's cupcakes.. I guess they are not too sweet, the icing has a nice flavour and enough of a top coating but the sponge itself tastes a lil dry, it's ok, probably would not get it again.

The freebie chocolate wafer thingy, that I got from the international store, still makes me laugh, nowhere did it say, complimentary purchase.

Anyhow, a nice unpaid for addition. It looks like a cake but it's more like a dryish biscuit..

To be honest wafers aren't my favourite thing. Mama used to buy a ton of them, maybe because she liked them.

I only like them in Ferreros and that's it. It's like dark chocolate and maybe a hint of orange, I'm not really sure.

Actually I might give it to her, she might like it better. Again it's not overly sweet or bitter but not to my liking, I would have preferred a cakey thing..

I've only been sampling the desserts. It's not the order I wanted to go in but I wanted to write mini reviews and maybe snap a picture, been ages since I did that..

I just wanted to mention, since I bought the MyCarbon face brush, charged it for the first time and have been using it mostly daily..

The battery has lasted 5 months. I think that's insane considering how much I use it, twice a day now..

The battery didn't even stop but it's become slow so I might as well charge it up. I think this time it took 2 hours..

They did say it was a long life but manufacturers say a lot of things that aren't true..

The last brush, hmm, I can't remember if I was charging it, maybe once a month?

But it was definitely more often that this one, that smaller one, handled the angle or bumps of the nose better, this one is too awkward.

Last time it took about an hour to get fully restored. It's not a brush for sensitive skin as it's a bit rough but overall I like it.

Would have been better if it was softer bristles but the power and speed are really good, it thoroughly spins and gives you a deep clean.

Ugh the earbuds are delayed, the tracking shows they haven't even been posted.

I forgot actually I have some Amazon credit, I'm trying to refresh the page and get a free prime trial so it doesn't cost just under a fiver for postage but they are being mean today ha.

They are not letting me have it, if I get it, the earbuds will only cost a fiver but if I don't I pay £10 and I don't want to do that.

It says same day delivery but when I checkout, it says tomorrow.

I've seen 2x and whichever arrives the fastest wins.. I keep refreshing the page and clicking off which is my usual trick but it's not helping grr..

Now it's changed, if I want it today between 5pm-10pm, it costs £6 and that's not even prime.. Ugh..

I'm trying to save money, not spend it. Well the best I can do is pay £7 and get it today and a further £4.50 for prime but after it arrives, I'll cancel prime and see if I get a refund.. For the postage because it was an extra £2....

The whole point of prime is that it's free delivery, you schmucks!!

Oh and it's not in my usual discreet black, but bright silver, yeesh lol.

To get the other colours was an extra £2. This one is primarily for indoors, overnight usage anyway..

Supposedly 15 hours on a single charge, well it slowly diminishes over time..

The name is Ltinist Bx29. Just before 6pm it was despatched and now 7pmish it's showing a map but not how many people are ahead of me..

And then Mama called to finalise for Tuesday, she said she has an Cex accessory voucher she doesn't need, so I can get another spare set of earbuds lol.

(What a weird name for a website)...

Oh now it says 9 stops away, sometimes they pop up early :) I was hoping for daylight 5pmish but now it's all dark..

Ah just after 8pmish it got here, not 10pm, thank heavens. Hmm that's scary.

The earbuds are 50% charged and that's fine, the case said 100% but every second it's dropping while charging the earbuds, that's not normal..

I'm going to have to charge it up and keep an eye on it, ugh, the cases are so damn breakable, brand new and it's acting like this..

Well I'll keep an eye out and then write my review.. The case battery stopped dropping at 37%, ah nope, still depleting..

About 40 minutes later, the case is at 21% and the earbuds are at 80% hmm...

It's laughable 75 hours, so 5x times you're supposed to be able to use the case, the battery allegedly lasting 15 hours, what a joke...

It can barely handle 1x single charge before falling to pieces. About 2hrsish to charge the case, fast charge? I think not..

Put on the earbuds 12.15am, they lasted.. 10 hours, not 15 but I will take that :)

They are small, comfy and snug so I doubt they will fall out. The sound is pretty loud, that surprised me a lot.

I had to turn the volume down, lower than I normally have it, that's a nice feature.

The next day the case is still depleting with the earbuds charging inside them, but not as fast.

An hour later and 80%. I still don't know if it's faulty or not. I did notice when it turned itself off and the case was empty, it did remain at a 100% so that's something..

It remained at 80% until it fully charged the earbuds and switched off.. Well the second charge, bought it down to 42%.

I'm guessing it can only handle 3x earbud charges then, not 5 as advertised..

Almost forgot to cancel Prime, but just remembered woop. Will any of that £4.50 be returned?

Ahh well, the seller got back to me and said, it's probably lost in the post so I can get a refund.

And I got the refund just now and checked the post but nothing so it probably has disappeared..

I just got back from meeting Mama, she's as shattered as I am, we both had a terrible night's sleep.

She totally treated me as she could afford it and I was grateful, the pedicure was quick but it was a nice single massage and the chair massage was putting me to sleep.

She bought me lunch and although I didn't have an appetite, I managed to eat and drink a full meal, miraculous for me, normally after a few bites, I cannot eat anymore.

They had this fresh orange juice with a slice and it was just slightly sweet and so refreshing that helped my tum and I felt better after that. (Just over a fiver ouch but worth it).

Then I had this oniony, fried egg, burger which was small but tasty, simple. She had a chai latte and a halloumi sandwich..

My stomach looks and feels so bloated. I just tried on the red top, cute but so so tight, I can't wear any layers, it does fit me, but I don't like wearing tight outfits, prefer a bit looser...

I look so top heavy in it, if you're busty, there's very lil you can do to disguise it, especially in summer, you'll boil alive.

I am not looking to draw attention but yes I do want to wear pretty clothes.

Maybe when I'm not as bloated or get a bit slimmer.. I am so sleepy but I got the UC crap to do and to finish this off.

Plus she got me indian desserts, pakoras an Easter egg, twirl, ha, and a chicken sandwich.

I don't need to buy food today, I'm not sure I'll eat much later, I feel so full at the moment, just thirsty and the kitchen is so far ha..

Oh yea the testing is concluded, the earbuds can only be charged twice, bit pathetic.
