Why You Should Use Model Magic Air Dry Clay

AAH - How I use Model Magic. 10/11/19 - Selling Art/Making Art/Creative Process/How to Over the years a common review of my videos brings up the material I love the most. Model Magic is a modeling clay So many people over the years have asked questions about using this clay that I have come up with some popular questions and answers.  Q: What is Model Magic? Glancing at this packing you might think this will too child oriented for any practical use and to a degree this is correct. Using the clay straight from the package leads to major problems such as uneven texture and drying or worse cracking.  Q. How do I fix texture and cracking? To remedy this I use a spritzer bottle filled with water to spray my clay as I am sculpting to keep it hydrated. I will also keep some in a plastic zip-lock bag and spray water in when it begins to dry. By controlling the hydration of the clay it allows for the clay to dry evenly and when it has fully dried (about 4 d...

Equate Reviving Anti Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer

Ok so this product is not new to me and I have had it for about 6 months. I can honestly tell you it's a good moisturizer. If your someone like me who has very very dry eyelids than you will probably be in the market for an eye cream. The thing is high end and mid range eye creams can be expensive even in the cheapest store. Previously I was using EstĂ©e Lauder Advanced Night Repair but it's 55$, so I decided to look for cheap alternatives.  While in WalMart I noticed they had a brand called Equate and basically this is WalMart's beauty brand. The advertisement said to compare the Equate eye cream to the Loreal Regenerist eye cream, which I have tried and liked but found it wasn't as smooth as I would like. The Equate cream is very much like the Loreal cream except its so much smoother it feels so good and absorbs fairly well into the skin. I've tried it with serums and putting it ontop of a heavier moisturizer and that's where it doesn't work so well. Ontop ...

Problem Products: NYC Showtime Mascara

Usually I throw out products that don't work for me and I leave them behind without comment but I'm thinking I may start posting about things that leave me irritated. Literally, this mascara has made my eyes burn in the past but I thought I would hold onto it and see if it was me (I have very bad seasonal allergies) or if it was the mascara. Now that it's winter I can definitely tell everyone that this mascara has something in it that makes my eyes afflicted. Perhaps it's the formula, I noticed little flaky bits on the inside of my eye lid, the only mascara that left behind flaky bits for me in the past was Hard Candy's eyelash stain. But that did not irritate my eyes likes this mascara, so I assume it is the dye or whatever particles that makeup the black base for the pigments and not the binding agent. Either way I am steering clear of this in the future since it's been 2 days with red bruised eyes and I have no intention of prolonging my own suffering.

Estee Lauder Gilded Rose Set

Bought these a while ago but I am just posting these as a review. These are a set of eyeshadows and marbleized shimmer powder. The eyeshadows come gilded but the gold is not incorporated into the shadows. These are satin colors one light baby pink, a magenta pink, a peachy tan pink, and the fourth is a tawny rose color. Super close to matte powders and a little disappointing because the "rose gold" overlay comes right off with one swipe. The colors are very nice though even if the overlay goes away. The marble shimmer powder feels good on my skin but as I have some tan left on my skin the rose blends a little bit too much. So a fair skin or yellowed skin will really benefit from the color in the marble if you want to use it as a blush. Otherwise the shimmer looks good as a general highlight. I did not buy both at the same time I got them from my local CCO for around 16.00 a piece. Compared to retail Estee Lauder prices this is very cheap. I wished there was a rose gold match...
