I can’t stomach Red Bull and coffee seems to have lost its energizing effect on me in college, so now when I need an energy boost I head straight to Bendel’s for one of their Functionalab Engergy Tonics (Functionalab is a beauty-nutrition supplement brand that launched last May at Bendel’s). Their Energy tonic is literally like 5 Red Bulls in one nutritious shot. My skin has been acting up a bit recently so I opted to try a few of their other tonics (no noticeable result yet, but I find all their tonics to be energizing). Jump for more information!
