I realize these are not quite what I was hoping for as I don't have the skills to produce something beautiful from a flat, chapstick like crayon.
When manipulated with a brush and water, or your finger tip, these do produce more pleasing results.
✯ I do really like the fact that these can give a very watercolor like look without water when blended with your finger. This makes it practical for use on the thinner paper you'll find in journals.
✯ The metallic sheen does not rub off, so they stay metallic even after being manipulated.
✯ The gold is a bit too ochre for my liking, but the rest of the colors are very pretty.
✯ They show up on dark paper; however, water dilutes the color to the point where it leaves behind more a sheen than a color.
✯ The longer the color is left on the paper, the harder it is to move with a brush.
✯ They don't lay down consistently, leaving behind a crumbly streak when swatches.
✯ In shape and texture, it really does look and feel exactly like a tube of Lipsmackers.
✯ Without a tip, I found it very hard to control where the color goes. With so many people loving these and Gelatos and creating beautiful stuff though, it just goes to show that each medium is not for everyone.
