Daiso Charcoal Mask - Personal Review

As we all know, when you go to Daiso, chances are you might not be able to resist the temptation for buying anything. Here in Australia, everything is AUD$2.80 which I think is rather expensive comparing to Malaysia at MYR 5 (AUD 1.60) and in Singapore its a SGD$2 (AUD 1.60 +/-) as I recall. So you can do the math, its quite a rip off at times.

Anyway, there are heaps of this Charcoal Mask in shelves of all Daiso's that I have every been to. At least 15 different branches. I decided to give it a try. I think I might have made a rather lousy purchase on some points.


 This is what the product looks like. Cute in a tube. Fairly simple to use, just apply on your face and avoid your eyes and eyebrows, parts with hair if possible.


My own review:
1. This mask smells like 'STINKY ASS PEE' like what you smell on the staircases of carparks, lifts, alleyways. Freaking hard to take in. I do not know if I have bought a defect product. It FUCKING STINKS.

2. My poor husband was my test subject and he had to sacrifice his smelling senses and he was complaining all throughout the time. Usually we just 'get used' to the smell but this mask...NO! It follows u even after you have washed it off your face...your nails smell too.

3. It does it's job of stripping off black/white heads...and it also give u a free hair removal on your face...Saves the trip for threading. It hurts! even more on a men who shaves and never plucks any hair.

4. Easy to peel off.

5. Very very drying product. I have read other people's reviews and alot of people have said that it does dry out the skin and thank god we didn't get an outbreak.

6. After removal of the black mask, your skin will feel tingly and a bit itchy. Maybe due to the stripping of dry skin, hair, dirt, gunk and so on.

Will I use it again?

Only in emergencies...which I am not sure of what sort. OR a great punishing tool if your man pissed u off.


Hair off 


Left a red patch on the side cheeks. Very dry.

Gami @ Lonsdale St

If you're looking for something different and a great place to have a few drinks and catch up with your friends, Gami might be a good place to try out.

The food selection is easy and great tasting. (Although sometimes saltier than other days). Been here about 5 times now, and been to both branches.

Deep Fried Gami Chicken is the way to go and you can choose from the sauces, either spicy or sweet, and try the normal one too. Personally I like the sweet and spicy ones cause the normal ones are just a bit too dry to my liking.

They have the Gami Beer - brewed by them. Really cheap about 8 bucks a jug. Cheap enough to keep everyone happy and jolly =P

After your meal, you will need to drink heaps of water before you get a sore throat.



Start with Kimchi Pancake. One of the good ones you can find in Melbourne. I like the crispy side bits. (Not for the Anti-Oil people)


Kimchi soup with seafood, veges and some glass noodles. Really good and spicy!!! Good for winter!


Salad with loads of sauce, comes together with the Gami Chicken.


The famous Gami Fried Chicken!!! Chicken skin....yummy!!!


My favourite Pear drink with real pear bits in it. But you can get it at the chinese grocer for like $1.20 for 2.

Everday Questions 10 - Group Chats

Many of us use smart phones these days. Many of us know what the internet is and how to use it to our own benefit. Many of us are smart enough to check before we ask. Many of us are believed to be not that LAZY.

But, there are also many of us who like to as the same questions repeatedly and obvious facts.

I am talking about situations where you are in a group chat on whatsapp or whatever app and it goes like that...

A: Hey! Let's go have some KFC
B: What is KFC?
C: Where is KFC?
D: What do they serve at KFC?

.... and then someone in the group chat decides to paste a link to KFC....

B: Hey how to get there?
C: Where is it near to?
D: I can't click on the link...

Question: If you were B,C or D would you ask those questions or would you Google it yourself before you look anymore stupid and annoy everyone else?

Penguins at St. Kilda, Melbourne

You don't have to pay to see the penguins whilst in Melbourne. But of course you need to be in the right weather and season. Many land tour packages put this sight into the itinerary and might include extra charges. If you ain't renting a car, or travelling with like 10 others, elderly, just cos, you can easily catch the tram to St. Kilda Jetty or even a cab maybe. The winds are quite strong here, so wear something warm even in summer. ( Just in case )



I don't know if we were lucky or what! Cause the Penguin conservation/scientist team is at work tonight. Looks like quite a dangerous job. Walking on slippery rocks in darkness. Mind you some of them are as young as my parents.
