Have any of you shopped online before, via stores that appear as ads on your Facebook feed? I tried it for the first time a few months back and had a really bad experience with Fray. I bought a dress on their store for $80 (slashed from $299) that did not look like what it was on photo, the quality was sooo bad, and size was totally off...and it arrived almost 2.5 months later, from China (the company says they're based in Florida). I wrote a poor review and it got deleted the next day. I googled them and read tons of negative complaints. And then I stumbled upon this article: http://www.independent.co.uk/…/disappointed-customers-expos…
What was your shopping experience like? I really wish Facebook would do something about these dodgy companies 😬

【NEWS】
ϟϟ Taiwanese magazine censored by Beijing ϟϟ
By Alison Hsiao / Staff reporter
(Taipei Times, 2015/1/11)
A Taiwanese photography magazine has been pulled off shelves in China due to its theme of street protests, the publication said on Facebook, adding that all editions with related stories, including back issues, have been confiscated from locations in China that have been importing and selling the magazine.
Voices of Photography (VOP), an independent publication dedicated to contemporary photography, first broke the news on its Facebook page on Thursday, saying that they had been informed by Chinese bookstores of unannounced inspections and the confiscation of the magazine by Chinese authorities at the end of last month.
The integrated Law Enforcement in Cultural Market team, as it is called in China, was the authority said to have undertaken the action.
The theme of the latest issue is “Protests, Activism and Images,” in which the magazine said “the scenes of movements in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Japan” are brought to life through images, documenting “protest photography and image politics [on] the rise in Taiwanese social movements in the ’70s, then flourishing in the ’80s … all the way to the Sunflower movement in 2014.”
“Not only were physical bookstores affected, but online advertisements carried by Taobao [China’s biggest online marketplace], Weixin [China’s social messaging app] and Weibo [the Chinese microblogging platform] have also all been forcibly taken down,” VOP editor-in-chief Lee Wei-i (李威儀) said yesterday.
“An online bookstore selling VOP was forced to shut down completely,” he added.
The bookstores were told, Lee said, that copies of the magazine were confiscated because they were “illegally imported,” as the bookstores had failed to import them via “legal, state-authorized channels,” instead directly purchasing them from the magazine.
“It is apparent that the move targeted our latest issue featuring activism. A dealer’s copies of the latest issue were seized by Chinese customs when entering the mainland from Hong Kong. The reason given was that the products were [politically] sensitive,” Lee said.
The magazine had been on shelves without interference until this issue, Lee said, declining to specify the exact amount of time to preserve the anonymity of the involved stores.
“While there are no official documents to prove our claim, we’ve been told that Chinese authorities specifically asked for the stores’ sale and purchase records of the magazine,” he said.
The affected bookstores have informed the publication that it would be difficult for them to continue importing and displaying the magazine on their shelves.
“Chinese authorities have further increased the political pressure that would have book distributors undergo self-censorship,” VOP said in a Facebook post.
“Not only has the ban in China had a negative impact on our income and activities, but Chinese readers have also been deprived of the right to access knowledge and the flow of ideas has been obstructed,” it said.

These are my favorite samples from the month of September. I sampled many houses this month, including House of Matriarch, Zoologist, Imaginary Authors, Parfum Dusita, Initio Parfum Prive, and many other brands. All the fragrances mentioned in this video are ones that I’ll inevitably buy. They are very phenomenal fragrances, ones that everyone must check out.
FRAGRANCES MENTIONED
- Yesterday Haze by Imaginary Authors- This is a very rich fall fragrance with a sort of dry texture. It really reminds me of smelling pages of an old book. An artistic masterpiece for this year’s cooler months.
- Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors- Opens up with one of the most beautifully delicious strawberry note that I’ve ever smelled. Delectable, alluring, and very pleasing.
- Absolute Aphrodisiac by Inito Parfum Prive- Most sexual vanilla. Dirty and confident, this scent evokes a pure primal instinct within all of us. Main notes of Vanilla and Musk, make up this unique concoction.
- Magnetic Blend 7 by Initio Parfum Prive- Straight up Musk. The Musk smells a tad bit dirty, reminds me of a wild man, like Tarzan. If Tarzan had his own scent. This would be it.
- Ivory Root by Xerjoff- Vanilla for the modern man, very sexy and inviting. Easy to wear and easy to please. Vanilla mix with subtle spices and woods. You’ll struggle to get a negative comment with this.
- The Maj by House of Matriarch- Hard to describe, it’s very aromatic and extremely well blended. Best way to imagine is to picture a heavy rain on a mildly dense green forest. It’s rich, herby, and enticing.
- Melodie De L’Amour by Parfum Dusita- Gorgeous white floral scent. Strong in jasmine, reminds me of authentic Thai jasmine rice. Deliciously sweet and soft, much like laying in a bed of white flowers.
