Toni & Guy Damage Repair Mask for Intense Reconstruction, 200ml

TThis is my fav mask by Tony & Guy and one of my top-3 fav hair masks in the market. It works wonderfully on my tinted hair and it  untangles my long thick wavy hair easily. It is very creamy, so it really penetrates my hair if  I leave it 5 minutes on, something I do when tinting myself with DIY haircolor. The results are great, as my hair looks hydrated, nourished, healthy and very shiny without any grease or heaviness. Many people ask me which hair products I use to have such a healthy-looking hair and this is the mask I usually use when the question pops up. The product lasts me quite a bit as a small amount of product does the job and goes a long way. The scent is kind of neutral to me, not strong or very gender-oriented, something I like. I don't mind paying a bit of extra more money for the jar because the results on my hair are amazing. On the other hand, I usually stock the product when it is heavily discounted, so it's not that much more expensive than than average or bad quality brands from major brands.

G-Fresh G-Fresh Himalayan Pink Salt, 100 g

This is a good Himalayan pink salt, in a  good-quality plastic grinder at a great price. My only 'but' is not the salt per se, which is good, but the container cap. The grinder cap cannot be unscrewed, something I wanted to empty out one of the jars I bought; however, I had to cut the container jar body with a sharp knife for me able to do so. For the rest, very happy with the product quality and price.

Heaven Dragon Oolong Tea, 100 Tea Bags

I love this Oolong tea brand. I have been using it for months and is one of my fav morning teas or when I want something that is not too heavy on my stomach. It is full of flavor but not strong at all. I tend to add a drop of skim milk and it is perfect. This 100-bag package has an amazing price, too.

Comiart 4-piece Ball Sphere Stylus Set

Good quality set of large stylus that I use with air-drying paper paste/clay. Kind of heavy as the balls are made of metal. Easy to use and clean. I love that the tools are double sided and comes in a good selection of sizes. They complement well my set of small styluses from the same brand. 

Better Jonny 26-piece Crochet Hooks Set

Every possible crochet hook size I would need at a killer price. The hooks are made of good quality metal and the vibrant metallic colors coating is beautiful and helps me distinguish different sizes. The length of the handle is average. The hooks are great for all sort of threads and wool. Packaging is minimum, but I'm very happy with the purchase.

Glad to be Green Compostable Bake & Cooking Paper, 15 Metres

This is a good quality baking paper. I use it mostly as a mat on my craft table to protect the table and also to apply my acrylic paints directly on without worrying it would go on to the table. This is so because the paper has a glossy side that seems to be waterproof. I also use it as a mat inside my microwave so that it protects its floor from spills and drops from the food I reheat or defrost there. It is very versatile. Ironically, I don't use baking paper for paper so I cannot comment on the use in the oven. The cutter is good and the sheets are cut out simply and neatly. The main downside of the roll is the width of the paper, which I'd like it to be larger. Also, the fact that is compostable makes it weaker and I prefer the average parchment paper for my microwave as this compostable version gets damaged quicker and doesn't withstand as much oil or liquid as the other. For the rest if fits the purpose.

G-Fresh Cinnamon Sugar, 160 g

This is a yummy cinnamon sugar that I add to my butter toast to turn it from average to yummy. I love the fact that isn't overly sugary and that the ground is very fine so it's a pleasure to eat. The jar is really generous for the price, too. 
 
My main two cons are 1/ that the dispenser doesn't have a fine sieve , just 4 big holes so it is good for baking but not so much for toasts or small deserts on a plate, so I have to be careful when I use it. 2/ There is no list of ingredients on the jar, which is a must as per the Australian food administration regulations. Yes, for sure, there is sugar and cinnamon, but in which proportions? Anything else added? Preservatives or anti-caking? Any allergenic? Like the label needs to be updated or a sticker added.
