Last week, I had a celebration for my 25th work anniversary at the LEGO Group.  It was amazing to be recognized by the company this way. 

Working at LEGO has been so much more than just a job; it's been my life.  Major life events have unfolded while I've been here. I’ve moved to a new country, acquired a husband as part of “my relocation package”, and welcomed Emma and Dina into my life... And now, I’m a Danish citizen — even if my Danish skills leave a lot to be desired. 

I’ve had the privilege of working on some incredible projects, BIONICLE, LEGO (Board) Games, Design by Me, the launch of LEGO Friends, DUPLO and social media, and now LEGOLAND and Discovery Centers. I am truly grateful for the friendships and memories that have been created over the years.

Jennifer Lopez eyelashes

I love Dior Show Mascara. I used it for years. But somewhere down the line it just felt too expensive.

It sells for about 200 dkk here, which is about $30. That's not so much more than the $28 it sells for in Sephora, but suddenly $30 for mascara seems so expensive. Kids? Priorities? Common sense? Whatever it is, I just can't do it anymore.

But mascara here is quite pricey, even the drugstore brands like Maybelline or L'oreal. So, when I saw that Matas was having a 2 for 1 mascara sale, I decided to try a new one. 

I will admit that the idea of having Jennifer Lopez eyelashes was appealing, so I decided to try the L'oreal False Lash Superstar Mascara.  And, it looks like it's not even out in the U.S. yet, so ha-ha, Europe gets something first!

The normal price is 149 dkk, which is $22.50 and waaaay too much to pay for L'oreal mascara IMO. But, $22.50 for two tubes works for me. Especially given the fact that there is primer included.

I tried it this morning. It went on really nicely, and I think I had some seriously false-lash-superstar-looking lashes today. If I'm still hooked on it after these two tubes, I'll have to check out the price in Germany to see if I can stay with my whole less expensive beauty product quest.
