Blackmores - Bio Iron
Since people keep wanting to steal my blood and I know I'm already anemic, I thought I should take some iron supplements.
(I don't eat much that naturally contains iron).
These don't upset my stomach, even with recent issues with mild nausea, but I have a pretty strong stomach.
*Iron can be pretty hard on some people's stomachs, it helps to take it with food.
The tablets are pretty small, so very easy to swallow.
I pair this with a vitamin c source (citrus, vitamin c tablet), as it aids iron absoption.
Price: 3/5 ($17.95 for 80 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Ropalia - Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask
This is a mask that foams up on your face.
It feels a little oily/greasy when applying/on but washes off ok.
So you wash your face, put on a thin layer, wait 5 minutes and then you look like this:
It claims it is a 'clay' mask, but I don't feel it acts like a clay mask at all.
It isn't drying or rough on the skin.
On the flip-side, I don't feel it cleans you skin any more than just soap would.
So if you want a deep clean, maybe skip this.
If you want a fun bubble face mask, that is all this is.
Price: 5/5 ($8.94 for 100g)
Scent: 4/5 (kind of a floral scent)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Doppelherz - Folsäure 800 + B6 +B12 + C + E
I got these before my diet change because I wanted to make sure I got enough folate.
Folate is essential for DNA replication, which happens in every dividing cell in your body.
These tablets are easy enough to take (if not a little on the big side).
I like the two colour design XD
Price: 5/5 ($6.18 for 40 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

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.
These are not for me.
Price: 2/5 ($9.96 for 3)
Effectiveness: 0/5 (for me, they might be useful for others)

It is pleasant enough though.

Price: 5/5 ($4.56 for 30 hours and a sweet glass)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
