When life gives you PICKLES, eat them

When life gives you pickles, eat them.
YES. THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
When I hear PICKLES, I think of a Maccas Cheeseburger. Why? Because, I remember the pickle being the highlight of the cheeseburger. I also remember my brother used to hate the pickle, and would give it to me. That was until he suddenly decided that he liked pickles. So, I had to find a way to get that pickle of his. That was when I began trading the burger for the pickle. This was when I was about, 10? When we would go to Maccas like, once a month. So, you can see how desperate I was for a pickle. But then we stopped going to Maccas, and I sorta forgot about the whole pickle thing.
Fast forward a few years, the mother comes home with a jar of pickles. (Polish I think they were) Yep, I got excited, and ate a whole pickle. Sadly, it tasted nothing like the Maccas pickles.
{SIDE STORY} Introducing... MUSTARD. The yellow bottle of yellow sauce we often see next to the red bottle of ketchup. I never used to eat mustard. As much as I loved ketchup, I never used mustard. Never knew why, but I probably was put off by the yellow colour. One day, I decided to be daring. After all, I was the condiment master. I would literally put 5 times more sauce on anything than an average person. So, I figured I would give mustard a try. I believe this was during one of the many sausage sizzles I have come across. I also wanted to replicate the classic hot dog, which features a squiggle of yellow and red on top of the sausage. So after getting the sausage on a piece of white bread, I proceed to the sauces. I first layer the sausage with ketchup (I would say a gallon of ketchup), I follow with some mustard.So, you see how I got here?AND IT TASTED GOOD. Never did I think that mustard and ketchup was such a good combination. Due to this, I also made a discovery. Mustard and ketchup reminded me of Maccas pickles. I have no idea why. It just did.
MissStache's verdict:
KETCHUP + MUSTARD + PICKLE = HEAVEN
face Q Caviar and Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Mask Review
Sunday, November 27, 2011 | 4:06 PM | 1 bothered
face Q is part of My Beauty Dairy! (President Pharmaceutical Corp.) A taiwanese brand famous for their sheet masks.
The Back
Ingredients, note that Hyaluronic Acid is second on the list!
As with other My Beauty Dairy masks, these masks come dripping with essence! There is always a lot of essence left in the packet after the mask has been taken out, which you can use to put on your neck!Something special about the Caviar and Hyaluronic Acid mask, is that it wraps around the ear, and your chin. This may sound confusing, but the mask itself allows you to stretch it so that it will securely fit on your face - and the ear loops help this. Also, there are 2 additional loops in which you tuck under your chin and loop it around your ears as well. This allows the mask to be a snug fit for everyone! Also, it helps in your face's absorption of the mask, as it has direct tight contact with your face. This also gives a firming effect, and lifts your chin aswell!
After use, my face was immediately tighter/firmer, and felt a little dry. Possibly due to the firming effect. But after moisturising, it was alright. The mask's high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid, which is extremely moisturising is slightly strange as the face did feel dry afterwards.
However, the next day, any pimples are surprisingly diminished, and pores are tightened! :D
I usually keep the mask on until it is fully dry. The instructions recommend 20 - 30 mins.
Specs
30 Grams per Mask
10 Masks per Box
Masks made of Wood Pulp, for better absorption.
Mask Effects
Extreme firming
Extreme moisture
I got this from my friend as a birthday present :) She got it from her last trip to Hong Kong.
Rating: 9/10
Love the firming effect, but not much moisture considering the H.Acid content. But it diminishes pimples and tightens pores, so I highly recommend it!
