First Impression Review | Saizen-Daiso BB Face Mask with Hyaluronic Acid

It's me again! This time I'll be reviewing this face mask from Daiso (or Saizen here in PH). I am sure most of you (if not all) know what Daiso is. But just in case you don't know what it is, well it's a variety store that sells mostly cute, quirky and reasonably-priced stuff if not totally cheap! Here, most items are priced from Php85.00 - Php88.00. If you want to know more about Daiso just click here.

Each pack has two individually-packed face mask sheets for Php88.00 

Now, onto my experience and thoughts about this product.

This is a typical moisture-filled mask as stated on it's packaging. When I took it out of it's pack, it wasn't dripping so I guess it's a good thing. LOL. 

On the back, you will see some instructions on how to use it (English instructions are provided).

I've let this sit on my face for 15 minutes max. It says 5-15 minutes but I really felt like extending it up to 30 mins! LOL. DON'T DO THAT of course, because if you do this the mask will reabsorb the moisture from your skin. Reverse osmosis, right? 

Anyway, here's my goofy face with the sheet mask on. 

Please DON'T laugh! :p 

Okay, as you can see from the above pic, this mask is a bit big for my face.

I also find that the pack still has some essence after taking out the mask itself, so I just use the remaining essence for my neck, hands, etc. 

To be honest, I don't usually use face mask regularly. It's not that popular in my area and also these types of masks are not easy to find. Of course you can buy these online.

Now, for my overall rating: 4/5

Let me explain why. 

It's very moisturizing but it kind of felt like I'm putting some kind of light slime or mucous on my skin. Does this makes sense? Hehe, I guess that's because of the Hyaluronic acid in it, right? It doesn't really feel that sticky but if you're not used to that feeling, you will not enjoy this.

The next day, or following morning ('cos I use masks before bedtime), I felt that my skin is well moisturized or smooth to touch but still has that slight stickiness so I definitely have to wash my face after getting up.

Wanna know more about Hyaluronic acid? Check this link here.

Do you recommend this?

Yes, I recommend this to those who have normal to dry skin, but of course (and as always) do a skin test first before trying this out.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

I Tried to Cook Ramen!

In response to the news that there's a coming typhoon, I went straight to one of our local grocery stores and bought a few food items.

I came across these fresh/wet noodles and instantly wanted to cook something.... well, I did try today and it didn't taste so bad. :)

I'm going to write the recipe so I won't forget next time. To be honest, I did not have a concrete recipe when I was preparing this. I did searched online for basic techniques and the ingredients that I can find locally.

I don't know what I should call this one but probably something like "DIY Emergency Ramen." Yeah it's lame but, whatever. LOL.

Ingredients:

2 packs of 1st Choice Fresh Japanese Ramen (miki/ classic), I used the red ones.

1 can spicy sardines, I think I used the one below

1 medium-sized red or white onion, sliced

1 clove of garlic, sliced

3 stalks of green onion or scallions, sliced

1 small ginger, diced or sliced very thinly

1 chicken broth cubes/ bouillon cube (you can use chicken stock too)

sesame oil

salt to taste

pepper to taste (but I forgot to add this)

Directions:

1. Lightly sautee or fry the ginger, garlic and onion in sesame oil. Don't let it burn.

2. In another pot, heat 5-6 cups of water.

3. When the water is near boiling point, add the chicken cube and stir.

4. Next, add the sauteed ingredients in step 1.

5. Now, add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes.

6. Add the sardines. Stir lightly and season to taste (with salt, pepper, or with any seasoning mix of your choice.)

7. Add the green onions.

8. Serve while still warm and enjoy.

Questions?

1. Why did you use sardines instead of chicken meat coz you actually used a chicken broth cube?

A: Well, mom said that it's Lenten season and we're not yet allowed to have meat. Basically, we have fish every Holy Week.

2. Why did you fried some ingredients when it's also not allowed during this day?

A: WTF! lol...I can't help it and I don't see the point of not frying it... waaah.

Thanks for reading! :) Happy Lent!
