Platinum tinting bowl

This is a cheap convenient bowl for DIY hair coloring. It looks like the one my hairdresser has. It is made of sturdy good-quality plastic, and it is easy to handle even if you don't hold the handle, easy to clean, great if you need to measure product, and very affordable. The only downside is the large size and the fact that is not collapsible or flatable. so it takes a bit of room in my bathroom drawers. For the rest, you get what you see and what you paid for.

TRIXES Black Full Length Cape Unisex Professional Barbers Hairdressers Gown

I paid about four bucks for this cape so I didn't expect this to be a super-duper cape, but it is good enough for coloring your hair at home if you DIY. It is an open long cape that closes at the back with a Velcro fastener and laces, so it can be adjusted as tightly as you want. It is quite long and the shoulders are completely covered, but not the back. If will fit both men and women. It is plastic, so it protects clothes from staining when DIY hair tinting. The only thing I miss is the cape having hand slots so that DIY tinting is more comfortable. For the rest is quite good for the price.

Peripera Ink Velvet #16 Heart Fuchsia Pink

This is the first product I buy from the brand and I'm very pleased with it, but also a bit disappointed.

THINGS I LOVE
> Original and fun container.
> The bottle color is very close to the lipstick color, so you'll know which color you're getting by looking at the bottle.
> It smells divine, in this case of strawberries.
> The texture of this lipstick is creamy, velvety and semi-mate.
> It dries off quickly.
> It fully covers your lips with just a stroke.
> Very moisturizing, so my lips look supple and yummy.
> Beautiful rich color.
> Good priced.

NOT SO GOOD
> The name of the color, fuchsia pink, made me think that this would be a fuchsia pink. It is more a wine color with a hint of strawberry.
> It is not semi-permanent, so it stains glasses and cups even when dry. Also, it doesn't last all day. If you eat anything, it will disappear. It is true that the stain, a pinkish color, will stay on your lips for longer, but it's not the original color you put on the lips.
> Unclear whether this is cruelty free, tested on animals or not, something that's important to me.

Skin Republic Collagen Hydrogel Under-Eye Patch Collection

This is my top product in the Skin Republic range of masks, and my favorite eye treatment of the last year. It is not only inexpensive, not tested on animals, but also a great product that works beautifully on my under-eye skin. It visibly irons out fine wrinkles and leaves the area glowing and moisturized. These eye masks are solid silicone-ish patches that stick to the skin and you don't need to lie down to have them on.

Rope Storage Baskets

These are two good quality rope small baskets with a wonderful ivory and black colour that goes with anywhere. They have gazillion uses and they come with a hanger and also with sticky wall hooks. Really good value for money.

Unfortunately the two baskets were vacuum sealed before packaging to fit them in the box, and, because of that, they arrived totally deformed, the round shape lost forever. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to reshape them, because they would really look great if they were perfectly round. Yet, they are not.

The promotional photos are very pretty, but, as you can see in the photos I've uploaded, they don't look as pretty in real life.

DU'IT Tough Hands intensive hand cream 75g

I have very dry hands due to the frequent use of sanitizer and because I do my dishes by hand most times. I've used most hand cream brands out of there. I bought this as my usual cream wasn't available. The tub design looks like designed for traddies but I thought that, if this can help a man's hands why not mine?". I've used this cream for a couple of weeks and it's fantastic. It absorbs quickly leaving no greasy feeling, and it has really made a difference to my hands. I don't like the smell. It is not bad, just odd, not a  nice fragrance, so that's why it's not 5 stars.

Plugable USB Audio Adapter with 3.5mm Speaker-Headphone and Microphone Jack

Small USB adapter, color marked, so plugging the audio/microphone pins is hassle free. This is a Universal self-installable device so the only thing you have to do is plug it to your USB port.

I have tried it with my headset and sound quality is good, but it gives it a background zooming noise that affects the quality of the recordings. If you want it for personal use this does the job beautifully, but if you want it for professional use this might not be your item.

The item was dispatched and delivered at record times, despite the lock down, so I am very grateful for the service.
