One of my absolute favourite things to do when I'm travelling is to visit the local drugstore.

Adverbs of degree

In Taiwan there are so many different chains - Watsons, Tomod's, Sapporo Drug Store.

They're all over but we have just come across Mirada, which looks huge and I can't resist going inside

so I thought it would be fun if we went inside and looked around.

Okay…this is the number one thing I'm looking for - face masks.

This brand - I've actually used this brand before.

These have hyaluronic acid, which is really good for moisturizing.

Usually these are way more expensive but because they're a Taiwanese brand,

you can stock up here for a lot less money

and already I'm seeing here there are way more kinds than I've ever seen before.

So I'm going to get hyaluronic acid…ooh!

Some of these I don't even know what it means but I'm going to get it anyway.

They have a best-seller mini-collection so you can try different ones.

Ooh they also have imperial bird's nest and a fermented moisturizing mask.

K that was face masks and they also have foot masks

I don't think I am right now but this is really cool.

It's called paper soap and it's this little dispenser with little sheets of one time use soap.

And a lot of times, you know in public restrooms they don't have any soap so this is really cool.

They're from Bonanza Cosmetics - they're face masks

and apparently these are extremely popular in Taiwan.

People will often do like one face mask per night so that's why you get these huge packages.

and the purple one is more for hydration.

Almost this entire aisle is full of sponges for your face.

And then I randomly found this squidgy bowl

It's probably just to put your dirty sponges in.

This is just like a small part of the skincare section - well sun care section, same thing.

and there are so many different products that you can buy here.

My favourite though are the actual sprays.

So when the sun is really hot and you've already put on your sunscreen in the morning,

you just spray this on midway through the day to make sure that you stay protected.

I don't know if it tastes or looks like chocolate but it has something to do with chocolate.

Okay, I found two things that were on my list of recommended things.

Both of these are kind of multi-use products

that are really popular to stock up on if you're in Taiwan.

This one is called Green Oil and even if I just read the side it says:

'For nose complaints, stomach aches, headaches, mosquito bites, burns,

So you just rub a little bit of this oil on your temples or here if you're kind of having trouble breathing.

And then this…I can't get enough of this.

I saw someone had this little tin - it's a tin inside.

And I just thought it looked so cute that I asked what it was

and apparently in Taiwan, they've actually nicknamed this product Little Nurse because of the picture

and because it's all purpose so it's good for lots of different things

and it's very popular to just keep in your bag for whatever you need.

This looks like a torture device but I think it's just a massager.

The perfect gift to take home with you for your loved ones.

I always look for toothpaste when I'm travelling as some of you might remember from my last videos.

This one is supposed to be extremely minty, which is a very good thing in a toothpaste I think.

And then whenever you're brushing your teeth you have that nice memory of your trip.

I love that you never know quite what you're going to find in the face mask section.

and 24 carat gold when you're feeling like some luxury.

I hope you guys enjoyed going into the drugstore in Taiwan.
