A spooky day

Pokemon Center Taipei Chinese New Year!

 

I'm a bit behind on posting again!  I'll do catchup posts later~ I want to talk about today first!

I went to the Pokemon Center with a couple friends to check out the Chinese New Year Pikachu~

They cost NT$700 each, but the details seem really nice!

Beef Noodle Soup Face Mask

Just a short update to let you all know... I finally used the beef noodle soup sheet mask I got a while back!

Yesterday I was having a slow and lazy day couch-rotting, and decided to do a bit of skin care~

After exfoliating with a gel exfoliator, I did my usual essence and moisturizer.  Then it was time to try out the face mask!

The interior package is decorated the same as the box. A nice touch!

For those of you who don't know, I don't eat beef, and haven't done so since 2004 😹so it's been at least 20 years since I've had beef noodle soup!  Of course, I'm still familiar with the scent as it is a common dish here in Taiwan.  Plus, when I mom was first doing chemotherapy last year, she made a lot of beef noodle soup to up her protein intake.

Sniffing the package

I have to say, they really nailed the spices and herbs in the soup base smell!  It mostly reminds me of the soup base and there isn't a heavy "meaty" smell, but it's recognizably beef noodle soup if you are familiar with it!

The sheet mask itself is undecorated, but felt nice (not too thick or thin) and the essence was plenty.

You can't smell this photo, but I can!

Overall the effects of the sheet mask were good.  My skin has been rather dry from the winter weather, so this was a nice boost!  The smell of soup does linger long after the mask is removed, which could be a pro or a con to you depending on whether you like it or not!

As a non-beef-eater, I was a bit overwhelmed with the smell at first, but after wearing the mask for a bit, the smell doesn't seem overpowering and it's just a light fragrance you can smell if you rub your nose or something.

I don't have any pets, but I wonder if people with dogs or cats find their pets are intrigued by the smell or not 😹

Would you try a savory-scented skincare product?  It was interesting and I'm glad I gave it a try, but I think I'll be gifting the remaining masks to friends 😹
