Skinfood: Bordeaux Mask Sheet

I hope everyone is having a great holiday! I'm so glad it's almost the new year, that means it's 1 step closer to HK!!
Anywho, aside from using the Skinfood Snow Tea mask sheets, I've started to use the Bordeaux ones as well. I use a mask every 1-2 days and I just alternate between them.
Surprisingly, the Skinfood closest to me does not sell the Bordeaux mask sheets. I'm not sure why. Maybe because the store is smaller?
You know how the media always tells us to use more anti-oxidant stuff and eat more berries and such? Well there's a sheet mask for your face!

According to the package:
Grape seed extract from red grapes contains powerful anti-oxidants that help fight skin damaged by sun and pollution. The combination of grape seed oil and grape seed extract helps boost the skin's moisture levels, making skin feel soft, supple and smooth.

So far I've used this for about a month and haven't noticed a dramatic change like the Snow Tea mask sheets. I like how it contains anti-oxidants because I don't think I consume enough on a day to day basis, and of course it's good to let my face soak it in.
My face feels refreshed after using the mask. I only leave it on for 15 minutes.
These sheets cost 1500won each and there is 0.6oz of essence in it.
I like how Skinfood's sheet masks are thin enough so it doesn't feel like there's a heavy sheet on my face.
I like the smell, more than the Snow Tea ones. The Bordeaux mask sheet smells quite strong, especially when you first put it on your face. It smells like grapes with a hint of wine, which I don't mind, and it fades a bit as it's sitting on your face.

Did I mention that Baskin Robbins in Korea has the cutest ice cream cakes??? They are totally not worth the price tag because it doesn't taste as good as it looks. I think BR just used cheaper ice cream for this.
It comes in a styro-foam box and they put dry ice inside in case you need to travel far from the store. Of course I have to keep the box XD

Isn't this gorgeous? It's called the Dream House cake and it cost me 24000won. The top is made with cherry ice cream and the bottom is vanilla with tiny chocolate cookie pieces in it. The vanilla flavour is very bland. The cookie decorations and penguins didn't taste very good. It's all for the looks XD This will take me a while to finish, it's almost the size of my head haha and it's all ice cream.
Maybe I should try another flavour next time. There are many other cute cakes at BR. I've also had their ice cream fondue, but I don't have pictures. Hopefully, I'll eat it again and show everyone =D

That mask sounds awesome! I've been really into antioxidants lately!

Wow that cake is so well decorated! The BR cakes here pale in comparison (in appearance anyway).
