I bought this airbrush for my son who has never used an airbrush before. 10 to 15 minutes after opening the package we had it together and were painting. He loves it! very easy to use and clean, lots of different attachments/paints available online or at the hobby stores. Excellent product for a great price!

I bought this so i can learn to airbrush. this is great because it is small, portable,easy to hook up, and light-weight. the airbrush is perfect. i would DEFINITELY recommend this item to anyone who wants to airbrush.

This set really hooks you up for immediate airbrushing! Dual action/internal mix airbrush, portable compressor, adjustable regulator & air hose; everything but the paint. This is my first airbrush and probably all I'll need for a while. A little advanced for my skill level, yet not intimidating & the company is very helpful, too.

I initially bought this airbrush with economy in mind as it will be used mainly for hobby painting. The feel is that of a quality made tool and I like the fact that it is all metal and gives a sense of durability. Using it to paint was a pleasurable experience and it can be precise enogh to do your signature as if writing with a pen as well as filling in large areas of your picture. The only "fault" I have found is that cleaning to change colors is a little tedious but I can't see how it would be any different for more costly airbrushes without disassembly. I have ordered a complete set from this same manufacturer in a siphon feed style for multi color applications but this will be my primary airbrush for years to come. I highly recommend this airbrush for the beginner or hobbist because of it's price and versatility.

The airbrush worked well enough the first few times I used it. Even though I cleaned it thoroughly after every use, it became clogged during the fifth or sixth session. I disassembled the unit and cleaned all the parts individually, but I was unable to unclog it. Thinking that the needle was to blame, I purchased a replacement needle from the manufacturer. But even after I installed the new needle, the airbrush still would not aerosolize any fluid (paint or water) from the color cup. Add to this the fact that the airbrush is extremely difficult to reassemble, because it contains some incredibly small parts (the lever guide and trigger) that must be maneuvered into position inside the unit - a maddening task. I regret buying this product and certainly would not recommend it.

These are wonderful products that work as stated. Be careful and the follow directions, if you do the results are wonderful; really improved the quality and texture of my skin.

I'm East Asian with skin that is very prone to hyperpigmentation; blemishes can leave darkened marks for weeks if not months. I first tried applying the TCA with a cheapie art store fan brush lightly over my face. From the other reviews it should be obvious that TCA seems like a very unpredictable peel; for some reason a portion of my chin peeled way more than others and I was left with a 3/4"x1/2" long dark blotch for weeks. I read in another review of TCA (different brand though) of someone adding some drops of it to their moisturizer. So I gave this another shot and I tried that with my favorite Cetaphil lotion (not cream) and after a few days my skin was dramatically more even-toned, soft, and translucent looking. This TCA-lotion mixture also seemed to clear up my acne scars (including that TCA-induced blotch which is gone now) much more quickly than when I tried direct application of TCA alone, and without such dramatically flaky results (though there is a bit, nothing my Clarisonic can't remove). No scabbing. Might sound counterintuitive, but sometimes gradual, consistent application at lower strength can be more effective--unless you have the time to let your skin recover from what can really be medium-level trauma (chemical burn). Which for those of us with skin whose melanin goes crazy after a wound, is probably not good. Especially if you're trying this out and are worried about hyperpigmentation, it might be best to start out slow.

Women with color: This peel is not for us. I gave it four stars not to discourage lighter women for whom it may work just fine. We with the melanin compliment should use the LACTIC acid peels. The application methods, the stay on time, the recovery time and projected results for the TCA 20% + Jessner's peel (all acid peels actually), are not calculated with regard for our melanin, which reacts strongly against peels. Even with Lactic acid, I've learned we women with color must proceed with extreme care. I am the exact color of Queen Latifah, flawless café au lait; I look well under my 40 years and thought I'd use a peel to maintain that edge. This TCA 20% + Jessner's peel, left on for less time than suggested by the enclosed directions, 2 minutes at most, proceeded to bubble, then frost and burn on my skin. I immediately rinsed thoroughly with cold water. Patted dry, looked in the mirror. In two small places the acid had completely lifted the top layer of skin to expose the flesh beneath--and boy did it hurt (hot spots, according to the product pamphlet). Overall, the cheeks, forehead, and chin were deeply flushed red. And my heart sank. Where there is red--the melanin has already been alarmed--the red will turn deep brown, or black. Which it proceeded to do. Over the course of TWO WEEKS the red skin flaked and fell off in scales. Beneath, it left taupe colored stains that over the THIRD week deepened to a dark chocolate--and this was without sun exposure, as I was embarrassed to show my face in public. After FOUR weeks the dark chocolate stains remained, deepened even, on my once beautiful even-toned complexion. I looked like a Halloween character. Such uneven melanin concentration would take a year to eighteen months to fade--naturally. I set to work reading all the reviews on acid peels here on Amazon. I googled acid peels and read much of the literature available, some of it advising Africans to stay away from peels altogether. I learned that LACTIC acid is the best for those of us with color. I purchased the 35% Lactic Acid peel from Skin Laboratory, available here on AMAZON. Before applying the peel I had on hand a bottle of Vitamin E capsules (two capsules pricked with a pin readily within reach). I had also at hand, a small bottle of castor oil, as I'd noticed that in some of the peel products I'd researched AND in more than a few high-end cosmetics castor oil is a key ingredient. I applied a very thin layer of castor oil to the dark areas and waited a few minutes for it to sink in. Then I applied the 35% Lactic Acid peel. I left the Lactic Acid peel on for 4 minutes. It hardly burned at all, perhaps because of the castor oil. I rinsed and looked in the mirror. EUREKA!! The dark marks had lifted some. I squeezed Vitamin E from one of the capsules and dabbed it on the dark areas. I felt hope. Hope that I wouldn't have to walk around spotted for 18 months. I need only reapply the peel, very carefully in graduating stages, always with the castor oil, and afterwards apply the Vitamin E. And that's what I'm doing, twice a week. It's been two weeks since I began the Lactic Acid peel regimen, four mini-peels so far, and the stains are almost gone. I put one tiny drop of Lactic Acid peel into a gob of castor oil, mix it in the palm of my hand and apply that at bedtime. When I wake the marks are even more faded. I wash with Kinerase PhotoFacial Cleanser from Sephora; it leaves my face incredibly bright, and youthful like no other product. The other two products in the Kinerase PhotoFacial line, the night moisturizer and the day moisturizer with SPF 50 are worthless. UNT SPF 50 works better for a quarter of the price (I got mine on Ebay). I apply the UNT, then top it with Smashbox Photo Finish Primer or Avon Magix--both of which have additional SPF and make the UNT completely disappear. I figure in another 4 weeks the marks will be entirely gone--and I'll have my confidence back by New Years 2010. I hope my drama helps you avoid the trauma.

The chemical peel treatments I typically receive from my esthetician were so expensive that I began searching for a comparable product..just without the high costs associated. I was super gald to come across this product...I have age spots and some sun damaged skin. I began using the TCA and Jessner's peels and they have worked wonders for me since...after two weeks, I noticed an improvement in my skin condition!! My age spots have faded which has resulted in a more even skin tone throughout. I am satisfied and will continue using this product!

this peel since it is a 20% solution only helps with light scars but it does work if you have lights scars.

The machines work flawlessly, although i recommend buying some different ink separately. It is decent ink but not of superb quality. Although it's not listed I received some practice skin with my order which isn't very good. but besides the ink and practice skin. The machines, the power supply, the case, and all of the accessories were way more than worth the price. There was way more in the kit than is listed here!

Shipped to my doorstep less than 48 hours from order time and I used standard shipping. Product was neat, packaged nicely and had everything it listed and more. I expect it to work as beautiful as it looks. If I have problems with the machinery or equipment I will update this, but so far I am VERY Satisfied.

Love the henna tattoo kit. Very fun and easy to use. Brought back my love of creating art :)

I love it. It smells so sweet and it was delivered right on time! I love the color it turned out to be, and the applicator bottle works wonderfully!

This product worked fine for me. I followed the directions carefully and was able to get a nice stain on my hand where it was applied. My only minor complaint is that it really should have been mixed better by me before putting into the bottle applicator. Some of the henna was a bit looser than the rest and your henna will gradually spread a bit while laying on the skin before drying. Just make sure it's mixed well before putting in your applicator and you should be fine. Other than that the directions were clear and easy to follow. I usually practice with cones but really liked the bottle type applicator that comes in this kit as well. Earth Henna also has their own website to order other kits and supplies if you really like this type of kit. Good Luck!~

Nice all in one kit for someone like me trying it out of the first time.

It was a lot smaller than I thought and the directions are on the back of the packaging. It is not a bad starter kit, but it is WAY over priced.

Bought this will some trepidation reading some of the other reviews but it works amazingly with the Sprint HTC Hero. It comes with a mini USB Power plug and some other adapter for some devices. Not sure what it is for. It also has the right sized audio plug for the Sprint HTC Hero. The FM transmitter is clear and easy to use. Just set it and forget it. It remembers the station between power cycles. I listen to music when traveling and when a call comes in the music on the Hero pauses and the call comes through. Music and phone calls are clear. Listening to music and the Sprint Navigation at the same time is interesting but that is an issue with the Hero, not this product. One downside that I found was the placement of the USB power outlet on the device. It is on the right side and I feel that it just sticks out there. It hasn't been a problem though. The other downside is the audio plug should have been a 90 degree plug because it sticks out of the top of the Hero a bit too far.

So I just recieved my "Advanced Car Mount System FM Transmitter". Well let me start with what I have: A T-Mobile HTC G1 aka Dream, HTC 3.5mm Adapter, and a 2008 Mazda 6. In order to make this work is that you have to have the HTC 3.5mm adapter, since the phone does not have a 3.5mm headset output. Plug in the USB cable with the Mini USB on the other end into the HTC adapter and into the FM transmitter. This allows for a power source, then plug the 3.5mm headphone wire that comes with the FM transmitter to the 3.5mm cord that comes with your G1 and then plug that end into the 3.5mm adapter. Now that you have your adapter all plugged up, now plug the 3.5mm adapter into the bottom of your phone and place into the phoneholder/fm tranmiter. Yeah it seems that there is a weird mix of wires everywhere, but with a few zip ties, you can take care of it. Turn your car on and find a station that works for you. The FM transmitter is very easy to work and it has an orange glow to it, which isn't so bright that it lights up your car. Its just the right brightness. Now either find an MP3 to play or use Pandora. You will notice during MP3, that there is a buzz in your speakers, but it seems to go away after a few mins, and if you use Pandora you will here a buzz noise and some other noise. I think the noise you get from Pandora is because my Mazda 6 is picking up frequency from my phone downloading my station from Pandora. Now I tried this FM Transmitter in my Ford Explorer with an after market cd/mp3 player, and this FM Transmitter makes so much noise that you seriously can not hear the song you are playing, it is BAD. In my Mazda 6, it has the factory cd player, so that might be why it works better in the Mazda then the Ford. But overall this FM transmitter works very well in the Mazda, but not so well in my Ford. Also if you want to make your "wire mess" less messy. Go to the Android Market and download "Toggle Headset." Build quailty seems Great! Design is Good! Reason for a 3 star, because it does not work properly in my Ford w/ an after market cd/mp3 player I feel after my purchase, I feel comfortable enough to tell you all to go ahead and buy one. You will be pleased!

Hubby got me this for an early V-day gift and I absolutely love it! I have an ipod (haven't tried with it yet) but I wanted it for my HTC Hero and it is the coolest thing! It charges my phone while playing my music through my car stereo which is why I wanted it but I also discovered that when a call comes in it pauses the song and the call comes through my car speakers to make it hands-free! It's super sturdy and seems really well made! It is a STEAL for 35 bucks!

The product was ship fast. But this product I will not recommend it to nobody because the signal is not very strong so sometimes it works and sometimes could be very annoying.

I have an HTC Hero and lots of interesting applications for its GPS, music, audiobooks, so forth; and a very long daily trip to work. There are many FM transmitter cradles available for iPhones, but very few for other smart phones, certainly few for Androids. So this cradle seemed like the right one available on the market. The FM transmitter is clear, audible and reliable, and doubles as a good hands-free kit. The charger works much faster even than the charger that was supplied with the Hero itself - which I hope is good for the battery, but no problems so far! The product is in daily use and has made a big difference to the quality of my driving experience. The only gripe is that the supplier of the cradle was prepared to ship it to the US only. I had to make an arrangement with a relative to get the cradle to South Africa. Accessory Genie - please revise your shipping policy! Maybe I'll get other things from you if you do.

Excellent product and the rubber tips do the job, mostly towards the cymbals which with regular sticks sounds a lot when you hit them...

I actually prefer the drum pad silencers with the regular sticks. I purchased both the pads and the rubber tip sticks at the same time though. After putting on the pads, I find that the regular sticks sound about as quiet as these rubber tipped ones and the regular sticks provide much better bounce on the pads. Save your money. Buy one or the other - not both. Not that these do not work, just that they are not needed if you have the pads and actually I doubt I will ever use them now. They just do not work well with the pads, in my opinion.

The sticks themselves are decent. The rubber tips seem to fly off at random, though, which can be kind of annoying.

I love, love, LOVE my new drum sticks! They are very sturdy, but not too heavy. I personally don't care for the rubber tips, so I just don't use them. Everyone always compliments my drumsticks...because they are awesome!!

I have the Rockband 2 wireless drums with cymbals, and I love these things! The rubber tips are removable. They don't cancel much noise, but the bounce they produce on the pads is incredible! They make drumming so much easier. If you have the cymbals, they are just as loud and don't quite bounce as well. They are also thicker, so if the cymbals are too high, you will be hitting them with the stick instead of the tip. The tips also seem to wear rather quickly, but all in all, these are worth it.

The skin works great. Not only is it easy to install, but it improves the appearance of the Nintendo DS Lite while also protecting it from any scratches. The screen protectors included were also a bonus and one that are as necessary as the skin itself. It didn't take that long to place on the handheld console, and even if you didn't do it right the first time, you could still fix the problem by taking it off and doing it again.

Chistmas Eve we discovered the red/black DS we had bought our 5-year old did not work!! So Santa left a note saying that one of the reindeer must have stepped on it upon landing on the roof. We went away on vacation the next day for a week and my son pretty much forgot about it. When we returned, I ran over to Toys R Us and the only DS left for MILES around was the pink one. So reluctantly I bought it. I discovered this skin online and it LOOKS GREAT (no peeling or anything yet) and pretty much hides all the girly-pink of the DS. I will definitely purchase TuneTattooz products in the future!

I bought this because it looked cool, but also because it came with some screen protectors. The screen protectors are working wonderfully, but the cover skin that goes on the outside keeps peeling away from the DS. The outside piece has three flaps that go over onto the sides of the back cover and those are not sticking very well. I've tried cleaning it, I've tried cleaning the DS right at the problem areas but no luck. I'm thinking at this point to taking the back cover of the skin off and trimming those side flaps so the skin is only on the back and not the sides of the back. Also, if you have the black DS you should know that this skin is really dark and doesn't look as good as it would on the white DS.

I love this skin. It's easy to apply, and the graphics are really sharp. The cut-outs were easy to remove, so I didn't rip it like I sometimes do with other brands. I highly recommend this brand and company.

This chrome skull tattoo skin is great. Fit perfect and cool lookin on the black DS Lite. Especially how it lights up when in the glowing recharging dock.

I have to dress up like a biker, so was shopping for the tattoo sleeves. I think this whole costume cost a little more than buying the sleeves anywhere else. The bandanna was a bonus. It's dark blue denim and cheap, but it rounded out my biker costume. Not bad for the price.
