This is a small pocket pad (see my photo beside my A5 journal), with 20 sheets of glorious watercolor paper. However, the way the pad has been assembled is dreadful. The edges are tightly silicone-glued together. The pad comes with a free beautiful feather opener to separate the sheets; however, this one is quite thick, so not really fit for the tightness of the glued edges, so much so that separating the sheets proved difficult and some of the edges were damaged in the process. I don't really see the need of this. Otherwise, as I've said, great watercolor paper and really portable pad.
Beautifully detailed, this stencil is easy to use and can be used with an array of art mediums (gouache, watercolor and ink.) This stamp is made of clear silicone, bass-relieved, so the end result is quite polished. Easy to clean even when used with solvent ink.
This is a relatively small stencil (see photo by my pocket diary) with different sizes of circles. Flexible decent quality plastic and easy to wash if used with different kinds of painting.I use it all the time is really good.
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.
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
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.
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.
