MAPED Foldable Plastic Ruler
This is a very pretty folding ruler that can be put away easily and looks good if on display. The multi-leveled texture allows me to draw different lines without moving the ruler. On the other hand, the ruler is not steady, so it tends to move easily, so your lines might be broken. Average quality. I think this is great for kids. The price reflects the quality.
Crafty as Ever Antique Vintage Scrapbook Paper Pad 8x8"
I was mesmerised by the photos of this scrapbook paper. My expectations were crushed upon receiving the item. The images, as per the photos on Amazon, look spectacular, but the reality is that this paper sheets are beautiful but also amateurish. It looks like somebody has created some multi-layered photos together and printed them for sale. Nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that quality of printing is really amateurish, no clarity or definition, which is especially clear on the handwritten pages. If you do Photoshop backgrounds and have a good printer, you can get the same images on your own with better quality. My photos look better than the real thing
Doraking Transparent Sulfuric-Paper Green Plants Stickers (65PCS/Pack)
Beautiful collection of adhesive stickers that look elegant and fanciful. The set has plenty of ferns, plants with flowers, plants with fruit, and some extra animals. Great quality printing and definition. My only 'buts' are that adhesive base is difficult to lift up and that some of the stickers are very delicate and tear apart easily. The stickers transparent part don't camouflage well on gesso-prepared paper as per my photo.

NIVEA Black & White Invisible Silky Smooth Roll On Deodorant (50ml)
I actually did the test after shaving my armpits, and this deodorant didn't itch or burn at all. So, it's perfect for sensitive skin. I had problems with other invisible Nivea clear deodorants in the past as, when I use them in summer, I get my armpits irritated, itchy and dark-skinned. But this one, so far, so good. The deodorant doesn't leave any marks on my clothes. The scent is very subtle and won't clash with any perfume or smell after application. Like with any other antiperspirant deodorant I use, this does remove the bad odour but I still perspire a bit.
MOR Boutique Marshmallow Sugar Crystal Body Scrub, 600g
This is a good quality body scrub, luxurious and feminine.
THE GOOD
> The texture is wonderful: not abrasive, it leaves my skin feeling moisturized, supple, fresh and feeling extra clean and soft.
> Lovely feminine scent, a variation of the traditional marshmallow fragrance minus the lemon and orange top notes.
> Packaging is beautiful, elegant and regal, if you want.
> Good amount of product in the jar.
> Value for money.
SO-SO
The scrub it has a bit of sandy dry, despite the oils it is mixed with, the result is that when you pick up a dollop, bits and pieces fall as lumps on the floor. This is also the reason why it doesn't spread as well and evenly as other good-quality scrubs.
> The scent is certainly lovely, but also classic, not contemporary if you know what I mean, and a big pervasive, so it can clash with my perfume. It gets better when the scent settles, though.
