ÄDELSTEN Marble Pestle and Mortar (10 H x 14 Dia cm)

This is a marble mortar and pestle. The pestle has two sides (one flat and one rounded), which I alternate depending on what I'm crushing. The mortar also has two surfaces, the hollow one, and the one on the base, which is is a bit concave and perfect for dry spices. 
 
I forgot to wash it the first time I used it, and the black surface shed some black 'dust'. Ain't sure whether the black colour is that of the marble or something added on, so I would have liked this being clearly stated. 
 
The set is heavy, at least for me, so I would not put it on a feeble surface. I think this might have been compensated if the based had been made of solid timber or bamboo.

KLYNNON Handmade Bamboo Plant Pot (12 cm)

This is a simply beautiful bamboo pot that goes great with Skandi decor. It is very light, so it doesn't add any weight to the pot I use it with. It comes with a plastic low container (saucer kinda), which prevents any leaked water from affecting the bamboo. I use it with one of my artificial plants, and it looks fabulous. The different sizes of the pot have different waving patterns, something I love, as I intend to buy them. Indoors only.

FINFORDELA Bendable Chopping Board (28x36 cm)

This is a two-piece set chopping board and counter mat that I use all the time. I have several of these on my kitchen table, under my wooden chopping board, and also on the counter where I have my small kitchen appliances. I mostly use as mat, as it is cleans easily and looks great with a simple wash. Personally, I prefer cutting my meat or veggies on wood not on plastic, but these pieces are great to chop anything and tip it out into a cooking pan or pot. The smooth surface goes on top of the surface you want to use it on. Economical and good looking.

PELARKORSBAR Cushion cover (50x50 cm)

This is an abstracted botanical cover, which I love. It's very cool and edgy, and goes well with minimalist decor and Scandi offices. Great for reclining chairs. It can be easily removed via the zip.  I haven't washed it yet, so I will comment on my experience when I do, but it's made of 100% polyester so I expect it to be durable and keep the colours for a long time.  Not two Pelarkorsbar cushions are identical as they're made from random-cut pieces from the same fabric. As this polyester, the fabric isn't especially nice to touch.

XIAOFEIPENG USB-C 25W PD Fast Charger

I bought this fast charger just to have a spare charger for some of my devices. This is good looking, economical USB-C only charger, very light, good looking, and it does the job. It is compatible with all my USB-C devices, which is great. Unlike other similar devices, it only has an USB C port, no extra ports or kinds of USB ports included. I haven't timed the charging time for my small devices, but it's quite fast. The  company states that it fully charges devices in 60 minutes, so that is not especially fast I'd say!  The company offers a 18-month replacement policy, so check the enclosed instructions. 

1000 HOUR Instant Brows Mascara (Black/Dark Brown) (6 g)

This is a small wand specifically designed to temporarily colour eyebrows. The wand is very small and allows great definition and cover. The tint perfectly covers greys and looks very natural. A tiny bit is enough to completely transform my eyebrows. It's like a mascara for the eyebrows. I always slightly rub on my eyebrows with a cotton pad to remove any excess tint. I also use cotton buds if the tint goes on my skin. I remove it easily using any cleansing facial or eye product. Good priced but small container. Perfect for travelling as well. One of my beauty staples.

INNER Soft Cushion pad (50x50 c)

I don't like this cushion pad. It is too flat and formless so it doesn't look good on its own or as an accent cushion, no matter how pretty the cover. It is not firm or plump so this is more appropriate for a reclining chair, or the floor, than anything else.
