I have a collectibles booth in an indoor flea market. From time to time I have sales, and need to mark my merchandise prices down. Since we are allowed to use the same tags, it is to my benefit (in order to prevent fraud) to use a pen in a color that the average shopper would not be carrying. So I chose this terrific pack of Limited Edition Sharpie Permanent Markers in very unique colors. It is...

I use these markers just about everyday at work and at home to label the CDs/DVDs that I've created.  The ultra-fine tip is perfect for writing a large amount of information in a small amount of space, and the ink dries quick enough that your writing is smudge-proof in a matter of seconds.  There is a slight "marker-type" odor when remove the cap, but it is not too bad.&...

I think Sharpie Markers are one of the best inventions of all time! I use some type of a Sharpie almost every day. There are a hundred different uses for these awesome permanent pens - especially the colored ones! There is a variety of colors available and so many types of markers. Okay, here is what I use them for on a regular basis. I label my children's names on the tags i...

We use a lot of permanent markers for various tasks. Whenever I divide my chicken into freezer bags, I use a fine permanent marker. Whenever my husband writes on a recordable CD, he also uses the same marker. However, those markers had caps. Many times I would find the markers dried up because the caps either got lost or were not fully on the marker.I am sure that you have had the same problem....

I prefer using permanent markers when I am labeling my boxes and other personal effects be it at home or in the office. I got this Zebra Permanent Marker sometime back because I wanted a bullet-tip which slides smoothly. This marker does slide smoothly but the problem is, when you write on packaging tape or something slightly glossy, it smudges. It does not dry fast causing it to smudge a littl...

There's a reason Sharpies are known as some of the best pens in the world.  With the Sharpie Twin Tip Marker, the posibilities are practically endless!  The larger of the tips, the "fine tip" is basically the "original" Sharpie tip that you're probably used to.  It can make broad, bold lines, as well as finer ones.  The small tip, the "ultra ...

I'm an old punk rocker and I still love to look a little 'weird'.  One of the ways I express myself is with my hair and was very excited to find Raw Color Demi Permanent Hair Color in a variety of fun colors such as pink, blue, purple, and green.  I purchased the Candy Pink, which is a lovely shade of hot magenta pink to use on my bangs and the underside of my hair, but wa...

Since my mom has recently been in a skilled nursing facility for rehab, it was necessary to label most of her belongings. This required the purchase of a permanent marking pen that could endure many washings. The pack that I chose had three markers in the colors of black, red, and blue. (I even shared one of them with a CNA, who had been especially helpful to my mom.) The nurse's assis...

The Faber Castell Company (I think it’s a German company) has been producing best products as far as I know. I’ve known this brand since I was in Junior High, and surely enough it’s the best brand for its pencils, pens and markers. I bought this marker from Faber Castell for our wedding reception desk, for helping the guests in filling their plastics guest pass card used for e...

Here is a great gift to get someone that does a lot of crafty things.  It is the Xyron 900 Sticker/Laminate/Magnet/Label Machine-9 in X 20 Permanent and it costs $99.99 at Kmart.  If you order online it takes at least two days to receive it but you can get it in the store, too.  I decided to give this item to someone that I knew would use it.  They can make stickers with it,...

I bought a set of 5 markers that came in 5 different colors. They are fine point markers, permanent ink. The colors are pretty and they are easy to write with. They even have a comfort grip where your fingers go, so it is better than writing in pen, and they are much more reliable than a gel pen. However, the markers tend to bleed on certain materials. By that, I mean that the ink spreads ...

In our country, a marker is called a Pentel Pen, because people are so used to this brand. However, it is already getting to be very expensive.And so several months ago, when I needed a permanent marker, I scouted around the school supplies section and asked for an alternative brand.I was given the Lotus Permanent Marker with a bullet-tip. It is also refillable with a snug cap so the ink won...

I use these fine point Sharpie markers every day at work and at home.  We own a restaurant in Ohio and we have very strict rules that we have to follow according to the health inspectors.  We must date mark every food item that we have in the restaurant.  This means that every time we open a package, make salsa or cook fresh foods, it must be marked with the produc...

This Faber-Castell fine marker is specifically for labelling CDs/DVDs, glass or plastic, or even metal surfaces.  It is waterproof and permanent. The marker does not emit any strong acetone like scent which I find very appealing considering the last permanent marker I bought was completely opposite. The fine print of this marker is suitable for labelling the abovementioned surfaces. It is ...

 I purchased this Halsa Hairdye at the local ninety nine cent store. It is ammonia free. I was surprised that it turned out to be a great hairdye! It gave my hair, vibrant color. It was very conditioning and not too harsh. The color stays in well. I followed the instructions and it did cover the gray! I did not have any complaints with Halsa hairdye. I followed up with one of my own good c...

I'm trained in Redken Color, I've been to all of the "color certification" classes in NYC, and I hate that they don't have any wild, punky colors. I've resisted trying Manic Panic until yesterday, when I was buying some foil in Sallys. My hair is dyed a very dark burgundy, and I chose "Flamingo Pink", a hot pink, which I thought would go well with my base col...

I have been warned in the past to avoid Feria, as it seems to be a harsher formula of at-home do it yourself hair dye. Let me preface by saying that I have had blonde hair from a box (at home style) for 4 or more years now, and I am probably a natural light auburn color naturally. I recently substituted Feria's ash blonde color to redo my roots for my normal Herbal Essenses brand. That was ...

PrintWorks labels seemed to be fine until the mail started to be returned because the labels were unreadable!                I have occasion to print an average of 150 labels a month.  When the brand I had been using was no longer available locally, I tried Printworks.  The packages clearly state “Guaranteed great resul...

I've been lightening my dishwater blonde hair for more than fifteen years now, and I haven't found another do-it-yourself haircolor that can surpass Garnier Nutrisse Permanent Creme Haircolor.  My current shade of choice is Macadamia, although I have experimented with other colors from time to time.  I find Garnier Nutrisse to be easy to use, and the directions provided i...

Garnier Noutrisse Nourisihng Color Creme is terrific! When I use it, I always get a natural, even look to my hair. It brings out my natural highlights while covering up all that unwanted gray! There is ample product in the package for anyone. I have very thick and relatively long hair and I have no problem coloring all of my hair with this. With other products, I've experienced fading ...
