L'Oréal Magic Retouch, 75ml, Dark Brown

I use this product regularly, between professional tinting  and when my thick very-noticeable greys pop up all rebel. The product is very easy to spray and has a good focus sprayer. I usually spray it twice; I let the first coat dry and then apply again. Result, no grays! This product is especially good for the part line, not as much for temples or hair line as it can stain my skin. However, I easily remove those by rubbing a bit of beauty oil on the stained spot .  
 
The product can stain your clothes, so I usually put a plastic cape on my shoulders. I don't apply this when I'm dressed to go out as unnoticeable unpredictable drops might stain them and ruin them if unprotected.

The product washes out completely with a single shampooing.

I always apply this product with a surgical mask on, because it has some residual "vapours" after spraying.

ClearWipe Lens Cleaner Alcohol Pre Moist Glasses Cleaning Wipe, 60 Count

I've used these wipes for years. I come back to this product,time and time again, even after trying similar products from other brands. I keep using these because they clean my lenses beautifully, leaving them spotless and without any fabric trace. Besides, they effortlessly glide on my glasses. I also use them on my phone camera lenses. I like this package size as it's more economical and lasts me longer.

Fanta Pineapple Zero Sugar Soft Drink 6 x 250 ml

This is the first time I try this Fanta variety and the last one. I love the small size packaging, which makes the tins perfect to carry in lunch boxes or in my bag when I have to do errands around and  don't want to spend money on drinks. The flavour tastes, to me, of those ampoules with medicine that my mother use to give me when I was a kid.  A very chemical non-pineapple over-sweet flavour.

YESDEX Wearable Unisex Blanket Hoodie

The packet came beautifully wrapped with a gorgeous yellow ribbon around it.
 
This is a large oversized hoodie, larger than others that I own. I'd say it's more a man size than the average hoodie. I'm 5.2" and this reaches half my calves. Something I don't mind in winter. Yet, it seems more a xl version of the hoodie. The main issue with this is not the length, which I don't mind at all, but the sleeves length. The sleeves are super long and, although the cuffs have a great hold and pressure, they cannot hold the excess length in cases like mine, when the arms are those of a small lady not a man's. Said differently, unless you are a man or a tall person, the excess fabric will get into the way or your cooking, dishwashing, or craft making.
 
I love the front pocket and the fact that the neck doesn't have a zip. Very cozy and shiny acrylic fabric in a neutral colour that allows me to go outside without looking a circus performer.
 
The most important thing is this hoodie is very warm made of a wonderful soft acrylic fabric. It saves me energy, because I don't switch the heater as much as I would when not wearing this hoodie. I have slept with it a couple of times and I get the most glorious warm cozy feeling.  
 
As the label says to wash it before use, I did that. Of course, it lost a bit of its shiny new lustre, but it looks as new, no shedding, no shrinking, and came of the washer really fluffy.

Red Rock Deli Honey Soy Chicken Premium Potato Chips 90 g

RRD chips are one of my favourite chips brands, and this Honey Soy Chicken flavour is just spot-on re flavour and yummy for the rest. I love all RRD flavoured chips, but this variety is one of the few that I buy time and time again. Like all RRD chips/fries, these chips have the right thickness and crunchiness. This brand is always more expensive than others, but to me that's justified as they are one of the best chips out there and this variety one of my favourite flavours ever.

ZEISS Lens Wipes (50 pack)

I had never bought this brand of lense wipes before, but I thought of giving it a try as the packet is really big and the price was excellent.

These wipes definitely clean my glasses  and my smartphone. However, they don't glide much, so I find them hard to use on my spectacles.
 
The wipes are made of the same material as those wet napkins in a sachet that you get from some fast-food outlets. They smell of hand sanitiser, like of alcohol. The ingredients on the package say  "(per detergent regulations) <5% cationic and anionic tensides." That's not a list of ingredients, sorry! It does  not follow our product labelling regulations either. I did a quick search and these things are not a product. Examples of some common cationic surfactants include alkyl ammonium chloride (that's an ingredient). Examples of non-ionic surfactants include cocamide, ethoxylates and alkosylates (those are ingredients). And as per ingredient list they are in  a detergent solution, made of what?
 
I might change my mind in the future and change ratings and/or update my review. However, I prefer the other wipes brand better, and I'll  go to it when I finish this packet.

JanYun 150D Leather Sewing Waxed Thread Cord (1mm Diameter, 8 colours)

This is a true leather thread in a beautiful array of neutral colours in long-length bobbins. I bought them thinking that it would be more like a cord or thicker, so, in that regard, they were a bit disappointing; however,  I'm the only one to blame as I should have read the description in full before purchasing. Yet, I've fallen in love with these bobbins and material. I use the thread as cord for my art tags or as texture elements in my mixed media works. The colours in the photo match the colours in real life. I haven't sewn with them, so I cannot comment on that.
