Review on Crafty Dab Face Paint Push-Up Crayons - Vivid Colors by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unsafe at any speed - AVOID!

As I type I am suffering from discomfort caused by a cellulite infection on my face in response to this product. It's not a cross-contamination issue as the Crafty Dab face crayons I used were freshly opened packages, untouched by anyone, and my hands were clean. The first few days of discomfort led me to search the internet for allergy and face paint information, which is where I discovered a recently published study showing that many face paints from hobby shops (INCLUDING THIS BRAND) are contaminated with toxins such as lead and common allergens . For example nickel, which I am very sorry that I persuaded my husband to use it too - he has a terrible allergy to this metal, but luckily the moment he felt any signs of allergy he got his make -up removed. I was less fortunate as I wore it all evening without feeling anything and now I have painful tender spots on the left side of my face, swollen lymph glands, a $75 prescription for powerful antibiotics and a doctor's bill for it today's visit. and continued next week. STAY BOYS! (The cited report can be found online by searching "heavy metals in face paint report". This is a scientific report whose scientific data was analyzed by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, among others. .)
