Problem Product: NYC City Proof Twist Crayon


So here yet again and really it's not even the second time it's just the second time I say down to type up a blog about it. I bought the new NYC lip products the City Proof Twistable Lip Color Crayons super long name first of all and then of course it doesn't live up to its claims. First off its got the worst fake bubblegum scent ever! It smells soo bad that I can't bare to keep it on and it actually turns my stomach. It's just too much fragrance. Then it's greasy, slippery and has almost a lip tint effect but can be build able.why you would build up that greasy lip color I don't know because it feels imediately like a 1$ cheap waxy lipstick. Waxy is the word and it melted on me even though the high temperature for this week was 35 F. So long story short they are aweful, in my swatches they will look more opaque but that's because they melted. I suggest wearing them as cream cheek colors and not on your lips I think they will be great cheek products because they are just so uncomfortable on the lips. I did get a new lipstick from them called Expert Wear Lip Colors, these aren't bad and some colors ( that my sister bought) were great! But I just don't think the crayons are good lip products I think they are better for your face, and possibly they were cheek sticks they decided to market as lip colors.

Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara

So I may be the last person in the word right now to tell everyone what I think of Marc Jacobs beauty but slowly I'm making my way through the products.  http://www.sephora.com/lash-lifter-gel-volume-mascara-P379421 The first product I want to talk about is the Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara, this product is a tubing mascara and builds up amazing volume. The wand is triangular in circumference which is really great for getting to all of my lashes, it's also very long which grabs most of them at once and since it's a tubing mascara it would need to. My eye lashes are super black and don't smudge or run and I have extremely runny eyes that just pour tears out of my outer corner whenever they are even slightly irritated. So lucky me, this mascara is yet another 25$ way too expensive product but honestly it's great. Here's the down side I do not recommend putting mascara on the top and bottom at the same time. Some mascara's don't mind touching together but sin...
AAH - Art Sketch Books That I Have Used 11/20/21  Currently I am using a sketch book called the Artist Line sketch book. This can be purchased from Dollar Tree though sometimes it is out of stock. Apparently this is a popular item because recently I have not been able to buy one near me. I found some in stock at a Dollar Tree about an hour away though so I purchased more stock. I still have 3 books that have not been touched and my dog destroyed two lol.  So far I have completed about 7 journals considering my dogs destroyed two. I really like these books mainly because they are small and easy to carry around. There are only 50 pages they are hot pressed and are best used with pencil or ball point pen. Considering almost all of my sketches are done in pencil or pen these are the best bang for my buck. There is another line of sketch pads that Dollar Tree offers and I have tried most of them. So far these are my favorite but I will show off the other drawing pads later ...

Graphic 45 Mother Goose Tag

Here is my first blog post for graphic 45's design team cast call. This tag is using the Mother Goose 8x8 collection. I also cut pieces from the Prima nursery rhyme collection journal card book. I made a pocket with the journal card and fussy cut some flowers to make a cluster on one side. I love the way this tag came out because I have admired the work of many youtubers and bloggers who make amazing work with graphic 45 papers and I am happy to see that I can also create something amazing. I also filmed a youtube video that I will link as soon as I am done editing it so everyone can see the process.
