Art break - Birthday Gift for Parental Unit 2

I already had this stainless steel One Ring and out of everyone who might like it, Parental Unit 2 would appreciate it the most.

So let's make it cooler.

In the first film, Frodo initially has the ring in an envelope.

If you haven't seen these films, go watch them now. I'll wait.

So lets make a cool envelope! 

Using some tea and coffee, I stained a white envelope to make it look aged.

Can you tell I didn't take a before photo?

Once it was safely put inside, I added a red wax seal.

The closest thing I had to red wax was purple...

So I just painted it after it dried.

Verdict: Before he opened the envelope, he thought it was a horcrux :/ but he liked it! (especially when I pretended I couldn't see him when he put the ring on)

Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

D.I.Y hasn't this been done already?! - The Bathroom Window

This is a new segment where I fix things around the house that my parents haven't thought to do anything about for ~30 years.

Here is the window before. As you can see, there is no blinds or frosting.
PU2 is acting as a villain/ burglar/ monster/Sandhill crane.

So for this project we need some glass frost spray paint:

This is the window before I fixed it. It is perfectly clear and anyone can spy on you while you use the shower/facilities.

I taped up the edges and fan

And ran into a problem:

WTActualF!?

So I used a piece of metal wire to jab into the would be nozzle area.

This gave a bit of a drippy end result :c

I guess I could put some fish on it and call it an ocean theme XP

And here is the after:

I don't even need to hide PU2's face!

Verdict: I'll get a new (not dodgy can) and give it another coat, but I'm very happy with how it turned out!

Lacura Beauty - Glamour Goddess - Eyelash Enhancing Serum

I wanted to improve my eyebrows, so thought I'd give this a go.
Now to know if it actually made a difference, technically I should only put it on one eyebrow... but if it worked, I didn't want to look like a crazed person (that would give the game away).

So in comes test subject A (Parental unit 2)!

Here is his beginning photo:

You can see the fear in his eyes!

And then one month later (of mostly regular daily treatment):

Now it is just quiet acceptance and private sorrow.

Let's put them side by side:

I've adjusted the warmth/contrast to make it match better.

Verdict: I don't see much of a difference. I'm going to say it didn't work on this dude.
I also used it for my self and didn't notice much of a change either (subjectively of course).

The formula is thicker than I was expecting, but is easy enough to work with.

It doesn't upset my skin, or the test subject's.

It's scent is faint, with green notes.

Overall verdict, just get brow powder, this probably won't work.

Price: 2/5 maybe (probably $28... really got to be more careful about recording the Aldi product prices)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 0/5
