Multi-purpose wire clips

I purchased from seller Cozyswan-direct, Iwuudi Multi-purposed Stainless Steel Wire clips.  There a multitude of uses. My son uses them for chip clips.

Even use them in the kitchen to hold open thick recipe books.

Overall: 

These are great and very versatile. Great for arts & crafts, helping in the kitchen.

Artist Coloring Pencils

Can you tell the places I used this pencil on?

I purchased from seller JBK, 40 Artist Sketch Color Pencils Assorted Colored Drawing Pencils 2 Packs of 20. I am always looking for a good coloring pencil set that won’t cost me a fortune.

Pros:   

• Non waxy

Cons:

• Break easily when sharpening
• Wood cuts roughly when sharpening, even with brand new sharp blades
• Very pale color
• No names of colors on pencils
• Colors do not match what they lead looks like nor the color of wood
• Have to press hard to make colors dark

Overall: 

Very disappointed. While they do not leave a waxy look or feel, they are extremely pale and do not match what you think they are. The wood pencil itself does not sharpen well, almost tears off in chunks.

Colore Colored Pencils

I purchased from seller Perfecto Gifts, Colore Colored Pencils with eraser & sharpener. I am always looking for a good coloring pencil set that won’t cost me a fortune. They were in a box that was too big, and the seal on the pencils did not hold so several pencils were out of the package and rolling around loose.

They do not have their color written on them. They do not quite match the color that shows on the end of the pencils.

Pros:

• Dark colors
• Color smoothly
• Medium soft lead
• Decent beginner set
• Good selection of colors
• Color smoothly across paper
• Bright colors

Cons:

• They are waxy looking on paper
• Break easily when sharpening
• Not quite the same color as they show on end of pencil
• No color name on pencils
• Do not blend well
• Quality is not there for the price 
• Fall out of storage container

Overall: 

This is a decent set for someone who wants to lightly color, someone who wants a better quality than Crayola. This are better than some colored pencils but not as well as others.

I purchased from seller BSWHW, a slim recharageble power bank external battery for my iPhone 6.

 

Pros:

• Fits well
• Kickstand
• Thick but not too thick
• LED indicators on back
• Great to have when you family runs your battery down and you have an emergency

 

Cons:
