Art Break! - Boar Vessel, 600-500 B.C., Etruscan, Ceramic

I made this a while ago for PB because every man only wants a Boar Vessel, 600-500 B.C., Etruscan, Ceramic.

I loved this meme, it was so wholesome!

I made a little boar out of air dry clay and painted it a shade darker.
I forgot to take photos as I went because I was a smart.

Once it was dry I added lines with a gold sharpie.

I hope PB likes it!

Verdict: He loved it and told everyone about his new prize!

Greenfood - Super C 1000

These are actually PB's vitamin C tablets that I kinda took over... sorry PB (I got him more),

In addition to 1000mg of vitamin c, they also contain acerola (a plant known for being a good source of antioxidants), rosehip, bioflavonoids (alleged antioxidant and enhancer of vitamin C).

These are pretty big tablets, so if you have trouble with tablets perhaps pick a different vitamin C supplement.

Price: 4/5 ($26.47 for 120 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (not strong, herbal acidic smell)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Invisibobble - Nano - 3 Styling Hair Rings

From the ol' Glossybox!

These are miniature versions of those weird plastic spiral hair ties that  became popular a few years ago.

I tried these to do pigtails (Note: I have very thin hair, 0.03mm diameter).
They seemed a little too big for my hair bundle and I couldn't tighten them, perhaps if they were stretchier?
They also kept slipping out.

Perhaps they work for people with thicker hair?

They seem to be pitched as a styling tool for up-dos and braids.
I'll be straight with you, I don't style my hair. 
Sometimes I comb it, that's it.
There is a reason why I keep it short.

Also these will NEVER replace bobby pins!

These are not for me.

Price: 2/5 ($9.96 for 3)
Effectiveness: 0/5 (for me, they might be useful for others)

Art Break! - Weighted Companion Cube Gift

I have a birthday gift for PB and it fits into this foam cube (not a perfect cube but close enough).

We like Portal so I thought I would make it a companion cube.

I started by painting it medium grey.

Modeled by Phil!

Once dry, I painted the edges and a circle in the middle of each face with light grey paint.

I'm not going for perfect lines here, this is just for fun and will be destroyed when the gift is opened.

When dry, draw on the little lines around the edge.

I glued on pink paper hearts into each circle.

Done!

Verdict: He loved it! 

Art Break! - Embroidered Gift for PB

I wanted to make something really special for PB. He didn't know I started working on this, I wanted it to be a surprise!

I actually sketched my idea out this time.

I did a gold sun with the lines horazontal (like how the sun moves over the horizon) and a silver moon with the lines vertical (like how it moves through the phases).
I also put gold stars above the sun.

Mmm, blurry!

I then added a golden yellow, a peachy orange, and blues to the rooster. Like the sun in the bright blue sky.

For the hen I went with a night-time motif with pinks, purples, and blues. I also added some light pink clouds.

I really can't escape my colour-block style, can I? XD

To present it I put it in a wooden frame.

I held it in with these double sided foam tape rectangles.

Finally I finished it off with this great lace tape.

Done!

Verdict: He loved it!

Easter Basket for PB

I hid a little Easter basket for PB in the house for Easter this year.
I had to put it somewhere the kittens couldn't reach, Lil has a thing for chocolate and chocolate is not good for cats.

It has a hollow chocolate chicken and some filled chocolate eggs.
I also added some little fluffy chickens.
The basket is a little woven basket I saved from... some apples? I can't quite remember what it had in it initially. 
I added some tissue paper in the bottom to look like straw.

Time it took PB to find it: 42.10 seconds (but it could only be within the living room)

Catrice Cosmetics - ICONails Gel Lacquer - 05 It's All About That Red - Nail Polish

A nail polish from the June Glossybox!

This is a high-shine, fire-engine red which requires more than one coat to be opaque.

It claims to last 7 days  without a top coat... I'm going to give it a big test and wear it under my dish gloves for 9 hours of work (with the heat from an industrial dish-washer)!

And it was destroyed immediately!

Price: 5/5 ($4.39 for 10.5mL)
Scent: 1/5 (don't sniff it, normal nail polish smell)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Quickcap - Beauty

From the June Glossybox!

This is a pre-measured drink with the powder in the cap.
You fill the bottle with water, put the pop-top cap on and depress the green cap insert to release the powder.

Note the residue.

It is meant to be good for your physical appearance, with biotin (B7) and camu-camu (fancy form of vitamin C).

The bottle itself is quite nice and would be easy to reuse.

The powder dissolves at a decent rate, but little floating stuff remains.

The resulting drink is not effervescent, but is frothy, which is super weird.

If this was a beer, I'd be impressed by the head.

Flavour wise, it is weak (meant to be peach), hollow, and a little metallic.

After drinking it, my stomach hurt.
PB did tell me not to drink it.

Price: 2/5 ($32.17 for 7 caps and a bottle, about $4 each)
Taste: 1/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Ultrasun - Face - SPF 30

This is from Glossybox and I love it!

It isn't too thick, doesn't feel too greasy on, and works really well to prevent sunburn.

It is water resistant which is awesome.

It also contains antioxidants and Ectoine (a bacterial product that is meant to stabilize cellular structures and protect skin from environmental stresses).

Price: 1/5 (~$36 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

L'Oréal - Hydra Genius - Aloe Water - Normale haut bis mischhaut

This is from Glossybox!

It has a very green scent, with a marine component.

It is lightweight, hydrating, and my oily skin likes it a lot.
I didn't think I would like it as much as I did!

I could see this being popular during summer.

Price: 4/5 ($14.78 for 70mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Rausch - Hair Spray - Strong

This is a sample from Glossybox (thanks Miss Buttons and PB)!

When I got this I wasn't that happy about it because I really don't do my hair.
But I'll do my best to review it.

It apparently has sea buckthorn, which appeals to me as a lover of all things ocean.
It also has no silicon, if that is important to you.

The scent is you classic hairspray scent (try not to inhale it).

I put some on my hair for work to see if it could keep hair out of my face.

Before: 

With hair everywhere already, but held in place by hairspray!

After a few hours of work: 

All held in place!

Overall, it appears to work quite well!

Price: 3/5 ($13.45 for 250mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (hairspray smell, don't sniff)
Effectiveness: 5/5

h4444444444444444444444444 Special Post! - The Twins

PB and I have two kittens!

For the sake of t* this blog, t he                      
they will be called Phil and Lil (not real names).

They are beautiful, naughty, and affectionate.

Phil also 'helped' me type this post.

XXX Art Break - Custom Fap Toy

I wanted to make PB something really personal and special.
So what's more personal than a sex toy shaped like me?
(I swear this comes from a place of love and not passive aggressiveness!)

So I got a encased masturbator.

It's so soft! Like mochi! <3

And a Clone-A-Pussy kit.

And some refill silicone in 'light tone' because my vagina is not hot pink.

First I cast myself, then cut the cast to the right thickness and border.

Just a little surgery, but not labiaplasty! XD

On gluing it to the sleeve, I left a gap between the top and tail of the lips so they would move apart easily ;p
Now I'm not perfectly beige all over, so I stained some parts with a little watered-down calligraphy ink.

And it's done!
(unfortunately I wont show you)

Verdict: BP loved it! He thought it was very sweet.
