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.

Logitech HS-LOGI-H110 Stereo Headset with Mic, Black/Grey

The item took ages to be dispatched despite being in stock when I purchased it. Due to lock-down, it took forever to get it delivered. And when it was, the disappointment was enormous, as I wanted this item to do some freelance work and it is not usable for that.
 
The only photo available, conveniently, doesn't show the jacks, and this is a problem as they won't fit most computers unless they are old models where these 2 jacks were the standard. This being the case, you'll need to buy an adapter to fit it in. This being the case, the item ends being expensive for what it is - an average home-use headset. Also, the cable is a nuisance, as it is too long for a laptop. It might be good for a desktop computer, though.

You cannot control the volume via the headset cable but through the computer sound.

Quality of recorded sound is OK with regards to the recorded sound per se, but due to having to use an USB adapter there is background zoom noise that ruins a professional recording. Quality of sound when listening to a video-clip or watching a movie in my laptop is decent.

The headset is a bit tight on the head even for small heads like mine.

I am a fan of Logitech, but this model is prehistoric and not worth the money.
