I'm a bit disappointed with the quality of this ruler. I bought this one because I own a couple of plastic rulers and I needed something steadier and with some grip to draw lines with ink pens and paintings, so this seemed ideal. The steel is good, but also feeble and wobbly, not strong enough. This being the case, the ruler is not steady enough. Also, for whatever reason, the lines don't come up clean. It doesn't help that the cork at the base has some edge, as it doesn't cover the full ruler belly and I think contributes to the wobbliness. It would not use this with paints or ink pens, just to measure or use with pencil.

1000HOUR Eyelash & Brow Dye Kit Dark Brown 72 g
I
have been using this product for several years now, and it does wonders
for my eyebrows. The tinting lasts for several weeks, and it looks like
the tint I used to have done at a salon before I started using this
kit. This is so because the results look natural and polished and it
doesn't tint my skin at all. The kit comes with everything you need, so
you don't need any extra tool or container to develop and use the
product. I sometimes use the product to tint the grey hairs around my
temples.
I have sensitive skin but I have never had any problem with this product.
I have never used this for tinting my eyelashes, so I cannot comment on that.
SO-SO
1/ They seem to have changed the formula recently and the colouring doesn't last as much on my eyebrows and it is not as saturated as it used to be.
2/ The quantity of accelerator and tinting cream is not balanced, so I usually finish the tube with the colouring and the developing liquid bottle is still half full.
MIND
Allow extra time if you have some grey hairs.

Tombow Fude Brush Pen, Fudenosuke, (GCD-112) Soft
I love this soft brush pen. It's extremely pleasurable to use, and the results on paper are what you can expect from a quality brush pen minus the mess I get from other brush pens on the same price range. I love the tiny Kanji plastic template included in the package. Mind: The instructions and labelling are all in Japanese.
Multifunctional Geometric Ruler
This is a very good quality beautiful easy to clean geometric ruler that I use mostly to draw lines and shapes when painting or scrap-booking. I love the fact that I can use it a ruler, as a protractor, to create circles, triangles and other geometric shapes. Easy to clean even when I use it with Indian ink. It comes in a handy plastic pouch and instructions leaflet. Unfortunately, everything is written in Chinese.

Quill Premium PP Visual Art Diary, 125gsm A4 120 Pages, Black
This is a decent quality notepad for drawing with pencils, charcoal and pastels. Not good for gouache, tempera or watercolor as it bleeds, and you'd need to apply gesso for a sheet to hold any water or ink painting. Paper not good either for permanent ink makers; a normal sharpie ink would go through. I wanted this for doodles and to try stuff before using my good quality pad, so that's OK, but this is not a paper I would use with any water or permanent ink medium. Elastic strap came out of one of the holes. Good quality cover and back.
HABEE SAVERS Bra Extenders 38mm
Good value for money. Easy to hook to my bras and stays in place without a problem. Comfortable to wear, I don't feel I'm wearing an extender. Mind: the upper part comes bent and stapled with a in invisible plastic staple, perhaps to have it fit it in the package, so you have to remove it to properly use it.
