Doppelherz - Magnesium with B1, B6, B12, and Folic Acid

A few months ago I started craving magnesium. Not things that contain magnesium (like green salad) but magnesium.

So I picked these supplements up at the store.

B vitamins are water soluble (so you pee out the excess) and you need folate for healthy DNA and cell division, so I didn't mind these added extras.

Each tablet has 400mg of magnesium and after taking one a day for a week, I felt amazing.

I also eat a lot of salad now.

I guess I really needed magnesium.

Price: 5/5 ($4.13 for 30 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent or taste)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Colourpop - Crystal Balm - Aventurine - Lip Balm

This is a green-silver iridescent, orange-watermelon scented, non-drying lip balm.

The colour doesn't photograph well.

The shimmer is actually quite wearable, despite being green.

Magnetic Eyelashes

This packaging is super cute and sturdy.

You may have seen videos abut these, they are false eyelashes that clip on to your eyelashes with a small magnet.

They don't extend over the full lash line, so these are for the outer  half.

Without mascara.

This half-lash is a problem, as the false lashes look so out of place.
I know why they did it, to make it work with the magnets, but they should have tried to fix this.

It would have been better if the false lashes were shorter but I know why they aren't, to make them easier to put on.

Also my left lash won't snap together properly.
The asymmetry is annoying.

They have a clear lash band, which I guess is good or bad depending on your preference.

It feels like there is something on my lashes and it is kind of annoying.
They are also more difficult to put on than normal false lashes.

I washed and disinfected them to send them to a friend to play with, but the damn magnets CAME OFF!
These are not as reusable as you may think!

All that effort for naught.

There are so many things wrong with these, they should have been stopped as soon as the prototype was tested.
 For the gimmick of magnetic lashes, the payoff is absolute rubbish.


Price: 4/5 ($4.13 for a pair)
Effectiveness: -5/5

L'Oréal - Hydra Genius - Aloe Water - Normale haut bis mischhaut

This is from Glossybox!

It has a very green scent, with a marine component.

I could see this being popular during summer.

It is also infused with crushed aquamarine!!!!! <3
I love this!

Year Project! - Shining Light

For Christmas one of the gifts I got from PB's parents was a year planner.

I won't use it as a planner because I know I'll just forget about it two weeks in to the new year, but I have an idea as to what to use it for.

Each day, I will (aim to) write down something that was good about the day. 
A daily shining light if you will.

Like the good boiz of TWIOAT.

I think it is important to appreciate the good in life not just when it is going bad, but when everything is good as well.

I'll update occasionally on how it is going and may share a few, and at the end of the year, I'll give an overall review of the experience.

I can already tell you a shining light, the foil on the planner is holo! (holographic)

YESSSSSS!
