Art Break! - Crustacean Menstruation Station

This is a organizer for the bathroom with all your menstruation needs.
No-one will have to ask for supplies when your at my house!

I started with a cardboard box.

Which I cut into a curved shape, and cut out some legs and claws.

And one Phil.

I painted the appendages and main box red.

Cat hair by Lil.

The bottom part of the box I painted yellow then glued some sand on (because I had sand).

I added a raised section for tampons.

I drew on eyes with a permanent marker and a paint marker.

I glued on the appendages.

And glued in the separating piece.

Stocked up and done!

Verdict: I love it and PB loves it!

Art Break! - Facinator for Miss Buttons

I wanted to make a facinator for Miss Buttons.
I was thinking turquoise, fish, the sea, and Comrade (her pet cat).

I got some plastic cats and picked one out to be painted to look like Comrade.

And I painted him up to look like him:

I also got some plastic fish to paint.

I used some florist wire to stiffen some ribbons.

I was so glad this had a narrow nozzle instead of a wide pad.

I also got some shells that I don't think I'll paint.

I will use some thin wire to make it look like the fish a swimming.

With the fish, I found they were too heavy :( so I made some little foam fish.

Let's begin the assembly!

I made a base out of foam and attached it to the headband.

I then added my wired ribbon, shaping it into a geometic/gemstone like shape.

I then covered this base with sand.

I opened it at the wrong end. Phil also ate some :/

We add our little Comrade

And our shells.

I love the natural colours of the shells!

I also made a little seaweed out of florist wire and stuck it on some foam.

With bonus Phil paws!

I added sand to the base and wrapped the wire in string.

How lovely is this colour!

I attached it to the headpiece (as one would).

Then we add some extra ribbon, the white looks a bit like fishing net but more organic.

I added an extra blue coil to look like water.

And we add the fish!

As I put it together, I decided I really didn't like the fish.
Everything else on this piece was realistic looking, the fish looked out of place.
I had to change them.
I needed to know that I made this as best as I could.

So lets try these little guys.

That's so much better!

Finally some blue glass beads.

All done!

To pack it, I put it in fish tissue paper :D

I added some white cotton ribbon around it and a little fish on top!

I also sprinkled some hearts and stars on top.

Verdict: This was tricky and took a while to complete, but it was well received! :D

Maybelline - Fit Me - Concealer - Sand

I like the doe-foot applicator with this, it's almost like a lip gloss container.

It covers well but is too yellow-toned for me personally.

Price: 3/5 ($14.95)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real smell)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Woodwick Candle - Sand & Driftwood

I LOVE this candle! 
The scent is divine, and I think 'Sand & Driftwood' is a fair assessment of it.

You know how it will appeal to me.

The container is super cute as well, grey glass and a wooden lid. 
It has an old school vibe which is very cool.

The wick is made of wood as well, and makes a continuous crackling noise that is so soothing.

This is the type of candle you WANT to get to Christmas!

Price: 2/5 ($39.95 for 600g)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
