HASK Argan Oil 5-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner Spray 175 ml

I
'm a fan of Hask hair products, and some of them are a staple in my beauty case. However, this supposed conditioner has been a great disappointment. It does not condition or detangle my hair after washing it, so I don't consider this to be a proper conditioner. It works more like an add-on shine and protection oil once I've conditioned my hair with another product'; also, it's not as good as Hask oil vials either as a leave-in product, at least on my hair. I won't buy it again.

LEONIS 30 Color PolyesterThread Set (45 m/50 yds ea)

I bought this pack to use it for stitching in my artwork. The mix of colours is lovely and varied and includes the main colour families. The bobbins are half the size, or less, of average bobbins (see my photo), but that doesn't bother me as I won't be using them to sew garments or in big projects. What bothers me is the quality of the thread, which is average, not good; as the thread is quite thin, I need to use it doubled so that it's noticeable on the paper. The needle threader is handy but it's also paper thin. The container box is nice and handy to keep all the bobbins tidily stored.

Habee$avers XV245 Tailors Chalk 4 in A Tub White Blue Red and Yellow

I bought this set to use the chalks on thick watercolour paper in my mixed media projects. They are great for the price and very versatile. The flat shape makes them perfect for scribbles and fine mark lines. The container box is really lovely and keeps them all tidy so I can put them anywhere without fear of them being damaged.

Sakura Pigma Micron 6 Fineliner Set (01/03/05/08/10/12) Black

bought this set of Microns not only to have good-quality permanent archival liners, but also because I wanted markers with bigger nibs than the usual. These markers go from size 1 to 12 (no fine or micro point nibs) so they're perfect for my mixed media projects as liners, fillers and mark making tools. They are precise and don't smudge. See my swatch photo to get an idea of the nib thickness. I love these markers design, which is immediately recognisable and also perfect to read the text on them; the size number is clearly visible both on the cap top and on the pen body, something that I love as I can easily find the size I want no matter the markers are stored vertically or horizontally. I bought this for a good price, so this is a bonus.

Jomico 2-hook Bra Extender (Beige, Black, & White)

I'm utterly disappointed with this set, especially because the straps seem to be good quality, they're nicely packaged and the price is good. As sizing was not mentioned anywhere, I took for granted that these straps were standard strap width. However, that's not the case (see my photo). They're perfect for small girl bras or for bras holding an A cup, which usually have skinny straps, not average adult bras. I have different bra brands and sizes and these extenders don't fit any of them. As I unwillingly broke the packaging box, I cannot return the items. So, the value for money is none.

Maped Study Compass Universal

This is a good quality compass. it comes with a small lead pencil that has a pressure screw to adjust it. The pencil can be easily adjusted up and down and, other pencils can be inserted instead. I've tried others I have, and they fit without problem as long as they're a similar short height; otherwise, It's difficult to use. The storage case if very good. However, the compass is very small, even for my very small hands, and I find it difficult to use naturally; like I struggle to use it. I guess it will be OK for children's hands, but not for mine for sure. I regret not having paid for something more expensive and getting something that I can easily use and move around.
