Imagine my surprise when Marilyn, my tea friend in Oregon, told me she'd gotten something for me at a 7/11 store on her recent trip abroad to visit Thailand and Taiwan. I was quite curious to see what it was, because I do love a good surprise. She knows me well because yes, this Earl Grey Tea & Macaron Sheet Mask definitely would have caught my eye!
This box actually held two packets, each containing a sheet mask doused in good-for-you things like black tea, aloe and fruit extracts. It smelled nothing like tea, but it did smell quite good!
I had to grin when I unfolded one of the masks, which my husband described as looking a little "Freddy Krueger-like." The sheet mask is about the weight of a light towelette like you might carry in your purse. With the mask ingredients, it slid right into place on my face (and no, I most certainly did NOT take a picture!). Ahhhh! It felt so good. Since you had to leave it on for 20 minutes, I decided to just lie down and spend that time praying and reflecting, a little soul break I probably needed as much as the mask! And when I was done, I must tell you I was very impressed with how baby soft and smooth my skin felt. So if you're traveling abroad and find a sheet mask like this, try it! (Thanks again, Marilyn. This was FUN!)

Very unique! So nice of Marilyn to think of you while on her fabulous journey.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER seen anything like this how fun!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique tea theme souvenir - and it works! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that you tried it. I have one more, which I will try one of these day. I also loved that you took the time for prayer and a quiet time. When I saw it I couldn't resist getting them because I know how you like to find unique tea items. Maybe I will give one away at the end of my travel blogs. The girl at the 7/ll actually gave me an extra one that is chocolate truffle. Yes, I think a give away would be perfect to end my stories on Taiwan - probably the end of next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting product. I've never heard of a sheet mask, but it sounds like a neat concept.
ReplyDeleteThat is too adorable, Angela!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like that - they would be neat to have here! Thanks for sharing, Joanie
