i am an artist and love to draw and paint i started using these pens when i was in high school and still have the pens in my posession today i bought 2 new sets at $120 each it comes with 7 different sized metal tip pens the smallest as sharp as a needle it also comes with black drawing ink, now a days drawing pens are felt tip and i just dont prefer them, Kooh-I-Nor’s Rapidograph is truly an incredible pen. Instead of using a ballpoint system where a small metal ball rolls ink out, the Rapidograph uses a long metal needle that when applied pressure to, releases ink to whichever line weight the pen is designated for. The line weights come in various thicknesses, ranging from 1.5 millimeters to .1 millimeters. These are perfect for thick cut lines in a building or for small detailing such as tiles. Also, the Rapidograph is refillable. When unscrewed, a clear plastic canister is exposed which you can pull off of the pen and fill with ink. The pack that I bought came with a bottle of black India ink. If you buy the pens separately, you will also have to buy the ink separately. After the ink cartridge in the pen is off, you can simply squeeze the ink from the bottle, into the cartridge and push it back up onto the pen. i love these pens.... -

i got this as a gift from mom and couldnt wait to try it The Clarisonic is a beast when it comes to totally removing my face makeup. In the past, I have found most cleansers still require toner or a makeup wipe afterward to get rid of the last vestiges of foundation. This is not the case with the Clarisonic–I take a makeup wipe and it picks up nothing. It’s not scientific but that’s my little test for how effective a cleanser is.
My skin has also normalized more in the past few weeks–it is more normal, less combo, less dry. It’s just normal. I’ve always had skin that bordered on normal, but it would get a bit oily at the end of the day or I’d have some drier patches. Since I’ve started using Clarisonic, my skin is smoother and softer. I wear less foundation as a result, because I only need a sheer amount for evenness for a polished look. i cant use it everyday as my skin is sensitive and tends to get red even with a soft facecloth but the clarisonic does what its suppose too.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral, and is a component in the metabolism process. Specifically, it serves as a partner to insulin in the transportation and breakdown of glucose. It’s typically marketed as chromium picolinate, which combines chromium with picolinate, a chelating agent.my doctor told me i can add this to my daily regime to help keep my sugar levels under control and it works not too bad i take 3 a day 1 in the morning and 2 at night at 200mcg i dont usually take supplements but since it was suggested by my doctor.and at $2.95 a bottle at walmart its a great price. -

Kiehl's Vanilla Essence oil is a stunning take on vanilla -- its a deep, smokey, tobaccoish bourbon vanilla that simmers and smoulders on the skin VANILLA 1968
Originally cultivated by Pre-Colombian Mesoamerican peoples, Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes is credited with introducing both the vanilla spice and chocolate to Europe in the 1520s. The Spanish and Portuguese sailors and explorers brought vanilla into Africa and Asia in the 16th century.this is a sultry sexy scent ive been a fan of kiehls long before it came to canada, when my mom went to New York she brought back several of the vanilla essence oil rollerballs for me because you couldnt get it in canada anymore or even have it shipped so i use it sparingly but when i do people always ask what im wearing and how good i smell at $20 a rollerball when it was available in canada.

This is a lightweight watery body lotion with quite true sweet coconut scent which lingers for quite a while. The packaging is sturdy and convenient, you can spray precisely and get every drop. Non sticky, no residue, absorbs quickly.
Fairly priced. at $12
The only con is that it's not very hydrating but a good choice for normal skin during summer. the first time i had spritzed myself someone actually thought it was my shampoo haha i had to tell them it was a coconut milk spray but they still like how it smelled, i think the body shop should come out with a line that smells like the coconut milk like a shampoo or a body butter it would do well.

i am diabetic so drinking juice is a no no but water enhancers help alot and out of all the enhancers i have tried so far the nesfruta tastes just like juice I love these. I don't like drinking plain water so I just add a few drops to a bottle of water and tastes great you can put a little more or less to suit your taste. and it also helps curb my craving to want to drink juice or have something too sweet the price needs to be a bit better sometimes ranging from $3.45-$4.99 just for one, the orange peach mango tastes almost like a fruit smoothie so its a treat for me that wont cause my sugar levels to get out of hand. -
