Jacquard Lumiere Bright Gold Acrylic Paint 70Ml

I love this line of metallic acrylics as it is not too transparent or too opaque. Besides, this gold colour stands out apart from any other I have used before, like it's way better. It's a bit on the yellowish side, more than the true gold version from the same brand, and it could be used as brass colour, too. Good quality. A bit pricey but a small amount goes a long way.

LEMESO 10 Pack 0.3 mm Jewelry Beading Wire Assorted Colors

I got this pack for my art supply stash, as I like working on textured projects. The colours I got are gorgeous; identical to those in the photo. The wire is good quality, easy to bend and cut. This wire can be used for many projects, from craft making, tag art making, mixed media or jewellery making.  However, the wire is as thin as  thread, which is not what I was expecting. The description page clearly mentions the girt, but I didn't know how thick this might be. See my photos to see the sizing of the rolls compared with a sticky tape roll. 

Sprite Zero Sugar Lemonade Mini Can Multipack 6 x 250 ml

I hadn't tried Sprite zero ever and Sprite for years. These cans are perfect for lunch boxes, to carry in my bag on hot days, or use them with snacks at home. They fill in 3/4 or 4/5 of a tall glass, depending on the glass. However, the flavour is kinda meh, it tastes of water with sugar, no lemony or lemonade flavour anywhere. So, I won't buy them again.

Toni & Guy Strengthplex Bond Repair Hair Mask 285 ml

Tony & Guy have made it again. I have used another mask by the same brand for years now. I had never tried this bond repair mask before, but it has become an instant favourite due to it's creaminess, the fact that a small quantity works wonders on my long wavy dry hair, it untangles my hair beautifully, nourishes it, and my hair looks amazing afterwards. Amazing value for money as well, at least when I purchased it. I will buy it again for sure.

Solo Zero Sugar Mini Cans, 6 X 275ml

I love this pack of small Solo cans. The sizing is ideal for my lunch box or when I have a snack at home. No sugar but full flavour, which is strong lemon flavour but not acidic or sweet. I can fill 3/4 pr 4/5 of a tall glass (depending on the glass) with one of these cans. Great pricing, too.

Generic 100-piece Embroidery Thread Cards

These bobbins are a great tool to keep my fairy floss thread, small ribbons and lace pieces all organised and easily stored. They save space in the containers I keep my ribbons and threads, and these don't get entangled with others. The plastic is decent quality. I wish the cards were a bit larger, like taller and wider, but they are great for my organisation and storage needs.

Akulife 2-Piece Silicone Air Fryer Liners

These liners are well priced and good quality. I have a 3-litre fryer and these are a little bit larger for that size (see my photos), but they fit well as they're flexible. They heat up considerably, so be careful when getting them out of the fryer basket if still hot. They retain a lot of oil that doesn't go into the fryer, preventing bad odours and the metal becoming sticky as well. They wash well by hand with dishwashing liquid; however, even if I wash them well, once dry, there is a sort of white residue on the reticulated maze base that I have to remove manually with a towel. I have used my fryer without the liners, and now with them, and I think they improve the cleanliness, odour and life of my fryer.

Update 4/10/24
I use this almost every day. They get greasy and over time they get stained with the grease and this does not go no matter how much I rub them. They are clean but look super dirty because of the grease stains.  For the rest, they save my fryer from the grease and are indispensable.
