Paper Masks at Walmart

Hi Everyone,

Today as I wandered around Walmart checking out all the beauty products I came across a bunch of paper masks. Paper masks are pretty darn popular in Asian countries, Korea especially, and I was pretty happy to find some in Walmart since so far here in Pennsylvania the only two places I've been able to find them was at Ulta and Sephora. Other than that I was stuck hunting the internet for these precious beauty gems. The price was pretty decent they were $2.50 per sheet mask. I'm used to paying about $5 and up for a sheet mask so this is a plus.



The brands I found are:

1. Soo Ae (Made in Korea)
2. Masque Ology (Made in Korea)
3. Yesto (Made in USA)


Soo Ae:

1. Propolis (Made with honey)
2. Vitamin
3. Deep Sea Water
4. Aloe
5. Green Tea
6. Collagen
7. Purifying Black Charcoal Mask
8. Tea Tree

Masque Ology:

1. Total Skincare Skin Calming "Special Care Cream Mask"
2. Intensive Moisture Hydrating Skin "Moisturizing Cream Mask"
3. Vitality Glowing Skin "Vita Clarifying Cream Mask"
4. Skin Tightening Elasticity Intensive "Collagen Lifting Cream Mask"

Yesto:

1. Yesto Tomatoes: acne fighting
2. Yesto Cucumbers: calming
3. Yesto Coconut: hydrate and restore
4. Yesto Tomatoes Charcoal paper mask for detoxifying.

As you can see the sheet mask addict that I am went a little crazy and bought 16 of them.
There were also a few clay masks that I might look at next time.

I'll be testing one of these 16 masks once a week and giving my opinions of them.
I'm willing to play the guinea pig for you guys...cuz you know I love all of you and I...I...I just love sheet masks!

If you feel like getting a few I'll provide the links for them at the end of the post.
I've only seen these so far in my area at the North Huntingdon PA Walmart not yet at the Greensburg Walmart but I'm hoping they catch on.


Soo Ae: Propolis
Yesto Tomato acne
Masque Ology Collagen Lifting

Maybe you'd like to give them a try with me ^.^

If you guys know of any other place to find sheet masks in Western PA let me know, share the glorious knowledge.

WELCOME!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Caroline and welcome to Pittsburgh Otaku.

The reason why I started this blog was because my best friend Emily has gone to Japan.

She’ll be studying for an entire year at J.F. Oberin University in Machida, Tokyo, Japan.

Needless to say I’m going to miss her dreadfully, going from talking everyday on Skype to about once a week is hard to do.

I wanted to stay part of my best friend’s life, and honestly had a hard time coming up with an idea. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I was asking her how she’d be handling meals while she was in school there, thinking there’d be cafeteria’s  like there are in colleges in the U.S.. She wasn’t all that sure but thought she’d mostly be on her own in the food department. Now I just love to cook…and eat…hey how do you think a plump girl like me gets so fluffy? The idea of my bestie being stuck in Japan without much Japanese cuisine background bothered me; I had to think of something. So I came up with Pittsburgh Otaku.

I figured Emily could learn some simple Japanese food and at the same time I’d be helping out my fellow Pittsburgh Otakus, hey I can’t be the only otaku in Pittsburgh.

Here I’ll post pictures of food I cook along with the recipe and any tweaks that can be done to the meal being shown. Most of them will be Japanese but I will branch out after a while. I’ll explain the ingredients and try my best to describe what they taste like.

So while my bestie is living every otaku’s dream, here we’ll bring some Japan to Pittsburgh J

Things you’ll see at Pittsburgh Otaku:

1.      Recipes: the whole reason why we’re here. Japanese, Korean, American, Brazilian, the list goes on.

2.      Crafts: knitting, crochet, embroidery, I’m a sucker for all of them; I’ll share some of my work and hopefully a pattern or two.

3.      Snack Reviews: Sometimes when I go to the Korean or Japanese grocery stores in my area I can’t help myself. I’ll pick up candy, chips, crackers, drinks, if it’s got a fun looking package I tend to buy it. I’ll post pictures of the snack and let you know what I think, maybe you’ll go try it yourself J

4.      Beauty Products, I won’t lie, I’m a total addict for Shiseido, Tony Moly, and Dr. Jart. Slowly I’ll put up some reviews of products and some tips I find for example the double cleanse.

5.      Weight Loss: Last but definitely not least I’ll be blogging my journey to a thinner otaku. Incorporating Japanese food and increasing my walking will hopefully defluff this super cupcakey otaku. Please feel free to join me on this experiment. We may not live in Japan but we can surely try to mimic some of their healthy lifestyle.

I hope you enjoy your visit at Pittsburgh Otaku.

Please feel free to ask me questions and make requests.

Thank you J

Mini Webmistress Luna hopes you enjoy your visit.
