L'Occitane - Immortelle Precious Cream


This is a very thick cream that has a wheat-like scent.
It is a thick cream that absorbs well and leaves your skin feeling nourished.
In terms of the packaging, I will never not be a fan of blue glass.


Price: 1/5 ($87.00 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence



I have been wanting to try this for a long time!

It has the viscosity of water and smells very faintly like dilute isopropanol.

It was a little tricky to apply (because it was like water) and because I don't want to waste any by using a cotton pad.


After using it for a week, my skin feels a little softer, but honestly looks worse.
'Haggard' is the word that comes to mind.

To be fair, I have been using it by itself as I didn't want a moisturiser skewing the results.

Maybe after many years of use it may prove useful, but I won't be paying the exorbitant price on a maybe. 
There is better, cheaper stuff out there.

Price: 0/5 ($229.12 for 160mL, I got it much cheaper as a little 10mL sample)
Scent: 2/5 (almost none)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Fairvital - Beta-Glucan 500mg



This is a beta-glucan capsule (or many of them really).

Beta-glucan is taken for cholesterol reduction and immune support.

They aren't too big and are easy enough to take. 

I really credit these for my current strong immune system. 
PB has had two cold in a month, I got neither.
Normally I'm patient 0. 



My friends used to say the zombie apocalypse would start with me, now I think that will be someone else.

Price: 3/5 ($31.36 for 90 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)

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
