This is a good selection of ephemera cutouts. The paper and printing quality is excellent. These pack contains a mix of entry tickets, adds, prescriptions, isolated words and signs, bingo tickets, B&W photos, bingo tickets, mini book covers, etc. They all have a vintage (50s mostly) colours and style. I love the fact that they are thick enough to allow the use of pigments and distress inks on them to enhance the vintage look without the paper stock getting ruined.
On the flip side, some of the items in this pack can also be found in another ephemera packs by the same brand. Besides, the card stock is a tiny bit too thick for my liking and, in all honesty, I find the price a bit high for what this is.
I use this with another brand mechanic pencil, and it works perfectly. It is very smooth and pleasurable to use. It glides on the paper and it is easy to erase. Very good quality overall and good value for money.
This a very generous package of round foams in different sizes, each set packaged individually. The handles are made of wood not plastic, something that I love. The different sizes are great to work on different kinds of projects.
Quality is average and the small foam items get damaged rapidly when used, as I do, with stencils and ink. On the other hand, if you want to use them for painting and/or spreading medium/gesso/ModPodge on paper, they are fine. So, it depends what you use them for.
Overall, this is a nice product, with a good selection of sizes and well packaged, but it deteriorates rapidly if used with ink over stencils.
I purchased this to print images that I will use in my scrapbook, and save on buying printed vellum. I've been using it today, and, despite my printer being average, the printing quality on the paper is good. The ink doesn't bleed through or run over, so the printed images are neat at least in monochrome colours.
I've also used this for scrap-booking and has the same pros and cons as branded printed tissue paper, so, in a way, it saves me money and I can print images that are not the ones that everyone has in their scrapbooks/art journals.
I don't give it five stars because the product is a bit pricey for the amount of sheets in it.
For the rest, is a decent tissue paper for printing and visual art journals.
This
is a good masking tape for the price. I mostly use it to frame paper
sheets when painting. Easy to stick, lift and reposition. The only
downside for me is that the colour is so similar to the painting paper
colour that I sometimes cannot distinguish the edges.
UPDATE 7/6/22
I've
been using this tape for several months and my experience is that,
beyond what I said initially, it ruins my watercolour paper, as this
isn't low tack. This especially happens when I have the tape on for more
than a couple of hours. I tend to heat the tape before removing it, so
that the glue softens, but, even then, the watercolour paper I use (180
mgs or 200 mgs) gets damaged. In all honesty, that's the same experience
I have with more expensive brands, so in that regard is as good as any
major brand, but not good enough for my needs. I won't purchase it
again.
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.
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.
