There is a systemless supplement called The Metamorphica (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/115703/The-Metamorphica-Classic-Edition). It is great. I love it. Full of random tables for mutations such mental, physical, psionic, supernatural, etc. mutations as well as descriptions of them. There are sections on using mutations for different genres and there are even a collection of different mutated NPCs and monsters.
In the Planescape 5e campaign I DM we have a character who recently got trapped in Limbo and now he has a very short temper (Behavioral Mutation) and the ability to duplicate (like Multiple Man but limited to one copy). It gives him a boost in power but it is thematic and a lot of fun. There is also risk involved. Does he sacrifice his duplicate so his party can escape, or does he save it for later and risk his party’s safety and survival.
I have an idea to run an X-Men Campaign where everyone randomly generates their Mutant using the random tables to create their characters. The idea being the Mutants in X-Men didn’t get to choose their Mutations, unless you count Mister Sinister ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, so neither will the players. I think it could be fun.
But you could use The Metamorphica to create (and even play) Post Apocalyptic Irradiated Wastelanders, Chaos Warped Demonic Abominations, Body Horror Experimentation Victims, Super Soldiers, Superheroes, Bizarre Alien Lifeforms, Formless Dream Entities, Eldritch Monstrosities, or beings trapped in Limbo.
Mutations range from Anthropomorphic Animal to Hunchback, from Double Jointed to Diabetic, from Genetic Memory to Dyslexia, from Magnetic Control to Cause Insanity, from Animated Tattoos to Cannot Cross Running Water, and so many more.
There is so much you can do with this product. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. This review is not sponsored, I did not receive money from them or anyone else to review this. I simply gotta spread the love of an awesome product. 5 out of 5 stars.

Product Review: Liz Earle Power of 3 Set
If you didn’t know, I work at Smashbox Cosmetics in Boots as a Crew Member, I absolutely love my job and talking to people about the brand and the makeup it offers. Next to my concession is Liz Earle. I’ve always been interested in skincare but especially natural skincare, during the quiet days, I look at Liz Earle products and talk to the lovely ladies at the counter about their products. I…
To find a good foundation is a life-long quest that doesn’t end. Having darker skin makes the quest a lot harder as a lot of drugstore brands don’t have my colour shade. If you haven’t checked it out, see my review on the Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation But this hasn’t stopped me from trying out a bunch of different foundations! Here’s my top 3 and a list of worthy mentions: NARS Sheer…

I hope that everyone is doing well and most importantly doing your part while we still try to get out of the woods with this while Covid-19 situation.

I hope life can go back to normal soon!

7E Reviews Frends Taylor Headphones
In addition to our engineering/art blog, we also own and operate a Los Angeles based pro audio company Meris. Terry is an electronic engineer, founder and musician. Our partner, Angelo is a DSP Engineer with 15+ years of experience in the pro audio world. I decided to do an honest review of high end audio accessory company geared towards women. Our assessment is from the best audio engineers/designers in the field.
When I stumbled upon Frends Taylor Headphones, I was stunned by its beauty. I consulted my husband Terry to discern the sound quality through online reviews. But we couldn’t find a single constructive review about the audio quality. I figured I’d fill that void.
Verdict:
Quality - The quality and craftsmanship is superb. Leather is soft and the stitching is clean and tight. With interchangeable headphone caps, my gold headphones look high quality. Slightly heavy feel. Truly is a jewelry inspired design. Designed in Los Angeles and made in China.
Sound - Full, rich and robust in bass. I find it a bit bassy and louder than my Sony Pro MCR-7506. Fun with R&B or Rap but not quite a balanced equalization for all types of music.
Comfort - Not nearly as comfortable as my Sonys that I’ve had for 8 years. The Taylors do not cup over my ears but rather smash my earlobes. Ear set is made of memory foam and adjusts in length however this does not ease the slight tension. I find this to be one of the key deciding factors.
Features - Includes a built in 3 button mic for volume, music + phone control with thin soft fabric cord. Comes with a zippered carrying case and jewelry box packaging. Made for all Apple IOS products however not sure how it works well with Android devices.
Fashion over Function is the question. The sound quality is good however comfort scores lowest. Similar to sexy look of high heels, I’d say it’s worth the slight discomfort in this case.

I dreaded buying maternity/ nursing clothing when I was pregnant with Luna. Everything I came across wasn’t appealing. So, I refused to buy anything! The few items I did buy for breastfeeding I hated them. The clothing either fit awkwardly on my body or they weren’t actually breastfeeding friendly. Then came Momzelle and completely changed the game! Momzelle is a Montreal-based breastfeeding…
This post is going to be short & sweet. I’m not going to get into the details of each product. It’ll just be my favorite and least favorite item. Along with a final thought.

The items were: Baby Foaming Wash & Shampoo Baby Lotion Baby Face, Hand & Bum wipes I also…
Testing out the XP-Pen Deco Pro M that the lovely people at XP-Pen sent me, here’s a recent illustration I did inspired from a picture I took of Daranak Falls!

Coupon code: DECOPROM (Valid till Oct. 24!)
I wasn’t going to post these yet but thought what the hell. This arrived the other day, I actually saw this thanks to someone reblogging a post by doujingo some time ago and thought I immediately had to get it. It’s yet another addition to my Unit 02/Evangelion collection.
There is one catch though, it isn’t actually mine as of yet. It’s in my apartment in Scotland but only for another week until it goes to my parents house to be wrapped up for Christmas. Basically I have it here because my parents are out of the country right now, and we get things in this early because my father works away so his schedule always kinda makes things a little bit awkward.
So yeah, probably shouldn’t have posted this but it was too cool to not share :D
AWESOME! Glad that it arrived safe and sound. The bag was bigger than what I had expected, I nearly couldn’t fit it into the poly mailer bag (it was a tight fit!).
Glad that you’re enjoying it (for now)as a very early Christmas present. :{)

I received the Natrol Sleep+ BEAUTY gummies complimentary for testing fromInfluenster and Natrol.
I liked them so much that I tried to buy more but they were out of stock everywhere so I grabbed the CALM version instead. Both are great for helping me sleep but I do think I prefer the biotin in the Beauty version, it helps to strengthen my hair and nails. The gummies are soft and taste nice. They are really easy to eat right before bed and help me stay asleep longer and better.
Furla Autentica Perfume Review
Hi guys,
Say hello to the newest addition of my always expanding Furla collection! ❤️
Since I spotted the new Furla Autentica Eau De Parfum on Fragrantica, I was looking everywhere to get my hands on a bottle of those, because well, the brand! It’s Furla, obviously, one of my favorite brands ever, and it’s description sounds just like the kind of fragrances I like!
Furla Autentica EDP is a new fresh, floral, fruity and femimine Aquatic Fresh Chypre scent for women and was created by Italian brand Furla, known for it’s high quality leather goods, bags and accessories and loved by fashionistas all over the world.
Autentica was released earlier this year and contains topnotes of Pear, Raspberry and Mandarin Orange, a heart of Peony, Lily Of The Valley and Cherry Blossom and closes with basenotes of Musk, Patchouli and Cashmere Wood. It advertises as a joyful burst of sparkling and juicy notes with a soft heart in a colorful, modern and real Chypre scent. The name Autentica stands for and enhances the authenticity, the strong identity and the heritage of this famous and iconic fashion house.
A fashionable Italian style, attention for details and the use of high quality raw materials is what forms the base of the creation and the launch of this fragrance.
Earlier this week, Autentica finally showed up at Zalando (yay! ) and I immediately ordered myself a bottle, without even smelling the scent first. I took a risk by not trying this scent before buying it (I couldn’t find it anywhere in any fysical store and wasn’t able to find many reviews online either) and to be honest, it’s a scent that I don’t think I would have buyed if I did have the chance to test it first. When sniffing the bottle immediately after my package arrived, it smelled really good. A bit flowery, but still good, perfect for spring and summer. But when I sprayed it on my wrists, there was a note of something very heavy and strong in there, a razor sharp edge, that I don’t really like that much and that certainly isn’t there when sniffing the bottle. I believe it’s the Patchouli which is reacting to the natural scent of my skin. I do find it a bit odd though, because almost all my perfumes contain Patchouli, which I absolutely adore, and I never experienced a reaction like that. But I must admit that after a few hours, that sharp edge is almost gone, leaving behind a similar floral scent to the one in the bottle itself.
Because of that sharp edge, it’s not exactly my favorite fragrance, and I don’t think I will be wearing it on special occasions, because YSL’s Black Opium still holds that spot and earns that privilege, but it’s okay to wear on an everyday base, for work, to go shopping or when taking a walk or something. It’s not the best scent that I ever encountered, but it definitely isn’t the worst either, especially not after wearing it for a few hours, when that sharp edge has dissapeared. But it’s still just okay. Nothing special. A plain, ordinary everyday scent for doing plain, ordinary everyday stuff!
When sniffing the bottle, the floral notes are the most noticeable, but after applying it, the Patchouli appears quite fast. It really is a scent for everyday use, not too heavy (apart from the Patchouli reaction on my skin), not too sweet, quite innocent and girly and yet modern and feminine. It’s quite heavy scented when just applied, but it dries down rather quickly without losing it’s floral scent. In my opinion, this scent is suitable for any age and it’s really longlasting too. Just make sure to test it first, to test the way the fragrance reacts to your skin!
The bottle, which creates a bold link between fashion, perfumery and beauty, is just gorgeous and was created with their iconic Metropolis bag in mind. The shape, the gold details like the engraved plaque with logo, the matte looking top half and the line carved in the bottom half of the bottle does reminds me of these iconic Furla bags, which I absolutely love. I do own several Furla bags myself, including the Metropolis and the 1927. It’s my favorite brand when it comes to bags! ❤️
The perfume itself has a pretty soft pink colour that suits the look of the sophisticated and femimine looking bottle.
Furla Autentica is now available at Zalando (in sale!) for €54,95 for a 50ml bottle and €55,95 for a 100ml bottle. I went for the 100ml bottle because of the difference of €1. Can’t blame me, right?
This post also gave me the opportunity to test a few Lightroom presets I created for my pictures, do you like them?
KylieSkin Lip Oil Review
My very first Kylieskin product! Yay!
The KylieSkin Lip Oil looks like a gloss, applies like a gloss and, unlike many other Lip Oils and related lip products, doesn’t feel sticky at all. Personally, I think that’s a big plus, since I really don’t like big, glossy, sticky lips. The wind, blowing your hair against your sticky lips when going outside is so annoying!
This Lip Oil has a subtle and pleasant but slightly chemical coconut scent and comes in a small, beautifully designed glass tube. The applicator is soft, fluffy and big. On the downside, it’s actually a bit too big, taking up almost the entire inside space of the tube, not exactly giving you value for your money that way. Plus, it isn’t really convenient to get the applicator out of the tube. The applicator does feel pleasant and soft on the lips while applying the oil though. The large size of the applicator does make it easy to apply and spread the oil, but also comes with quite a bit of excess product, while you don’t really need that much.
I usually use this Lip Oil in the evening, before going to bed, to give the oil enough time to fully absorb and to optimally care for my lips, giving me the ability to start my day with soft, cared and hydrated lips in the morning, but since the oil also gives a nice shine, it sure can be used like a lip gloss during the daytime hours too. After applying this Lip Oil, my lips feel soft, hydrated and intensely nourished, without feeling sticky. I’m rocking a subtle shine and dry lips and flaky skin are a thing of the past. I personally didn’t experience the promised plumping effect, but I already have fairly full lips and I’m not exactly looking for that Kardashian pout right now!
I am satisfied with the KylieSkin Lip Oil, which is vegan and contains Vitamin E in addition to coconut oil, but I do believe that there are balms and oils that do the same job while being cheaper. That, in combination with the enormous applicator and the small amount of product inside the very small tube, gains this lip oil 4 stars for now. It’s definitely not bad, but not the very best either.

What’s your favorite lip product?
Max Factor Miracle Prep Pore Minimizing + Mattifying Primer Review
Hi guys,
A while ago, reviewing platform We Are Eves has send me the Max Factor Miracle Prep Pore Minimizing + Mattifying Primer to test and review. My review has been on We Are Eves for quite some time now, but I haven’t shared it here yet, so here we go!
The Max Factor Miracle Prep Pore Minimizing + Mattifying Primer comes in a convenient plastic bottle and looks simple, yet beautiful. The pump bottle is easy to use, hygienic and has a convenient size, so you can take it with you in your make-up bag or handbag!
This very lightweighted primer has a thin, liquid and slightly milky texture which is easy to apply. It melts directly into the skin and does not leave a greasy feeling. After application, my skin feels soft and smooth. My face is looking healthy and I have this, nice matte look going on. My skin does not feel dry or tight at all and outbreaks or allergic reactions are not an issue either. So far, so good!
As I continue with my makeup, I notice that this primer is indeed the perfect base for applying makeup. My make up lasts longer and is looking bold and more beautiful. However, I did notice that greasier spots, like my T zone, are starting to shine again after a while, so doing a touch up every now and then is certainly not a luxury. My pores seems to be just a little less visible. Even without make up, this primer is a great base, as it contains SPF20 and gives your face that nice matte finish we all crave.
This primer is scented really neutral, the scent, doesn’t irritate and disappears quickly.
I am actually very satisfied with this primer and I absolutely recommend it, especially for people with oily or combination skin and even for people with sensitive skin, like myself!

Nutraskin Collagen Drink review
Hi guys,
Another year has passed! And a new year has started, yet again! This is the last year I willl be celebrating my thirties because next year, I will be a women in her forties! Can you imagine? Anyway, that made me wonder, what’s your age? I know, I can check my statistics, but that’s quite general. It’s more fun to be able to add an age to your face!
Talking about age, my fine lines and wrinkles are getting more visible every day, so it’s about time to put a hold to that! In addition to my new anti-aging skincare routine (more on that later!), I also started to take the Nutraskin Collagen Drink, to help my skin to maintain a more youthful look.
Collagen is a substance produced by the body itself, found in our hair, nails, muscles and skin. When we get older, the collagen production decreases, resulting in less elasticity, causing wrinkles and lines. Taking collagen supplements doesn’t just improves the skin, it also improves the condition of hair and nails and can help you to minimize the visibility of cellulitis.
NutraSkin contains 7,5 gr Verisol and Vitamin C and the collagen powder arrives in easy to use individually packed sachets. One sachet a day, dissolved in a glass of water, tea or juice, is all you need to maintain a youthful and healthy, plump looking skin. The powder doesn’t have any scent or taste and it’s easy to use and drink. You just have to make sure to use room temperatured drinks because in cold drinks, the powder doesn’t dissolve that easily. When using room temperatured liquids, the powder does dissolve quickly and completely.
After using NutraSkin for a few weeks now, I don’t really notice much changes in the lines and wrinkles departement, but I do notice that my skin is feeling more plump and firm and looks healthy. My skin feels really soft and hydrated too. Any changes in lines and wrinkles should be visible after a month or two. The only downside is the fact that NutraSkin isn’t vegan friendly, since the collagen powder is derived from bovines. But other than that, I’m really satisfied and definitely will keep taking my daily sachet! ❤

Philosophy Nature In A Jar Skin Reset Serum Review
Hi guys,
Ici Paris XL kindly sent me a vial of Philosophy Nature In A Jar Skin Reset Serum to try and review as part of their Beauty & You Community.
This serum consists of 95.9% natural ingredients, is clean, vegan and contains Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to Retinol.
As we all know, Retinol is an antioxidant & a form of vitamin A that aids in cell and skin renewal. I’ve done some research on the difference between Bakuchiol and Retinol as Bakuchiol is said to be a natural alternative to Retinol but I honestly don’t see much of a difference as Retinol can be found in certain kinds of vegetables. However, for some people, Retinol is just too harsh For people with sensitive skin or known allergic reactions to Retinol, Bakuchiol is indeed a better alternative.
Anyway, back to the Nature In A Jar Serum!
After using this serum for a while now, my skin feels soft, smooth and firm. Fine lines and wrinkles are less visible and so is the redness on my face.
It’s a lightweight serum which is easy to apply. The application itself is a bit more difficult, since the pipette in the cap is not a pipette but a glass rod, making it quite difficult to get enough product out of the bottle. It also feels a bit greasy, which I personally don’t like. The serum has a very light and neutral scent. In fact, it hardly has any scent. I personally think that’s an advantage, because I don’t really like heavily scented skincare products.
The bottle itself has a young & fresh look, thanks to the bright blue colour.
For now I give this serum 4 stars, because of the greasy feeling and the pipette which actually isn’t a pipette at all. If this changes, this serum is definitely worth 5 stars!
Question:
Do you prefer Retinol or Bakuchiol?
A huge thanks to Ici Paris XL and Philosophy! ❤
Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3-in-1 Foundation Review
Hi guys,
I was able to test and review the Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3-in-1 Foundation in the shade 35, Pearl Beige, known for the television ad with Priyanka Chapra, and I’m ready to share my thoughts with you!
This 3-in-1 foundation works as a foundation, a concealer and a primer and has SPF20, so it’s quite a multifunctional product which is perfect for very busy ladies. It’s quite liquid and has a very lightwheighted texture that provides a licht coverage. I absolutely don’t mind the liquid texture and light coverage because it makes it easy to apply and blend in and it almost feels like you’re not wearing make up at all. You just have to make sure to shake the bottle well before using it.
After applying it, small blemishes, enlarged pores and red spots are less visible and my skin looks nicely matte and flawless but still natural. The only thing I don’t like is how it makes my skin feel. It does make my skin feel very dry which doesn’t really contributes to the “not wearing any make up at all” feeling I mentioned earlier. Too bad because if it didn’t make my skin feel that dry, it would be the perfect product!
It has that typical, slightly powdery foundation scent, not bad but no roses and flowers either! The scent isn’t that longlasting though so it definitely is not irritating. The foundation itself does have a longlasting effect and it doesn’t looks cakey, which is a huge pro!
This foundation is vegan and the glass bottle and gold details give it a luxurious look.
I’m really happy with the results and definitely recommend this product to everyone who’s looking for a foundation with light coverage and a natural result!
