Cien - Tag für Tag Shampoo - Frucht & Vitamin

This is a daily shampoo that I purchased from Lidl.

It is a nice peach scent and I really wanted it to work.

But it gave me the worst dandruff! I was getting skin everywhere and it seemed like it was endless. Even the tops of my ears started peeling! 

I can't use this anymore, which sucks greatly (because I have a lot left).

Price: 5/5 ($4.52 for 500mL)

Book Review - The History Of Bees - Maja Lunde

When I was in hospital my mother in law very kindly brought me a book to read.
She picked this of the 'best seller' list.
I wish this book was as nice as her.

Overall, this book was a huge let down. 
Spoilers ahead!

This book isn't really about bees, it just uses the plight of bees as a background for a sub-par drama.

The first of three characters we follow is a (not terribly creatively named) William from the 1870's.
He's some self-important, depressed wienie who doesn't give a crap about anyone but himself.
He has a wife who he doesn't care for, a son he doesn't take the time to actually get to know and several daughters he sees as mere inconveniences.
He is basically a piece of trash.

Then there is George from 2007 USA. He doesn't talk to his son and his wife is far to good for him.

Finally we have Tao from 2060's China.
Why does Tao have a son?
Why do any of these people have children?
Well, thankfully her son dies at three years old and doesn't have to deal with inevitably not merting Tao's expectations.

All of these characters are terrible parents, blindly expecting their children to follow in their footsteps and being really bad at communicating.

There is also this dumb insert of trying to make it sound like the book 'The History of Bees' is some sort of important book, like in 'The King In Yellow', except not delightfully done at all.

The author is just a really crappy storyteller and this is a crap book.
She usually writes young adult fiction and I am now worried about the youths who have had to endure her 'work'.


Since I can't really find anything nice to say about this book, here is  my favourite joke about bees:

Sleek - Eye Dust - Spellbound

Initially I was quite worried by this, it looked too big to be eye powder.

But I wet my brush and tried anyway.

I was right to be worried. This is messy, unwieldy, applies unevenly, and doesn't look that great on.

Avoid this junk.

Napoleon Perdis - Mesmer-eyes - Waterproof Black Mascara

What the heck is this?!

The formula is clumpy and too thick.

You have to be so gentle to avoid clumping.

The brush IS NOT A BRUSH, but rather a flat, sad little comb that does NOTHING!!!!

This stupid brush is flat! Flat like a comb!

Seriously, this is only going to work if your lashes are less than 4mm in length.

This is the mess I am left with :(

We almost had a uni-lash situation again D:

Rimmel - Kate Sculpting Palette - 002 Coral Glow 

The highlighter is not light enough, the bronzer is not dark enough, the blush is passable.

Let's play 'Spot the Swatches'!

What it gives you in convenience, you lose in quality.

Avoid!

Podcast Review - The Flop House

So it is called, so it shall be!

My sister, who usually gives good recommendations, insisted I try this one... and I hate it!
(Sorry sis)

It is meant to be a podcast about bad films.

They don't explain anything about the film they watched (and often I haven't seen).

The audio quality is terrible, ideas aren't fleshed out, and they all talk over each other.

And instead of editing the podcast into any listenable form, they just typed the layout into the description (which is just lazy).

I can't honestly recommend this and don't see it's appeal at all.
