It also helps to brighten, soothe, and improve the skin's overall condition. Specially made with CE booster to improve your skin's overall condition. It helps with skin's absorbance, increases metabolism, and allows the skin to quickly absorb Hyaluronic Acid, Snow Fungus Extract, and Allantoin. All worked together to provide your skin with 24-hour moisture.

The packaging is pretty simple compare to other masks from Taiwan I have. The 25ml packaging itself is quite heavy as it seems to contain a lot of serum inside.

Sorry for the super late post. Life have been too hectic for me now. As promised, here's my review on one of my HG mask!! ♥The Beauty Diary Natto Rejuvenating Mask.

My say:
Among all the Beauty Diary Mask I've tried so far, this is one of my top favorite mask. I can define the smell of this mask, but is certainly pleasant and acceptable just like the others.

I would use this mask once I had acne- breakouts and dehydrated skin. The result of the mask is not obvious after 30minutes, but when I woke up in the morning my skin felt so soft and smooth like baby skin. My skin felt so hydrated (which you can have the 'tiong- tiong' feeling) and the complexion is so much better than before. The best part is it tamed all my acne. Wee~~♥

I HEART ♥♥ this mask so much. The effect is definitely awesome. This mask pretty much like all-in-one mask. I highly recommend everyone who reads my blog to have a try on this and let me know how it works on you.

Review: My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Mask 我的美丽日记黑珍珠奈米面膜

This mask has been raved top in Queen Magazine, and most Taiwan TV shows. Upon all the raves how could I resist to not trying this.This Black Pearl Mask is a permanent product in the Beauty Diary Mask. So you don't have to worry that it is a LE.

The real product pic:

Ingredient:

Bio-Active Silanols. Lecithin. Nanospheres. Vegetale Collagen. Citric Acid. Royal Pearl Extract. Tween 20. Ubiquinone. Propyl Paraben. Carbomer. Xanthangum. Potassium Hydroxide. Sodium Hydroxide.

Skin Type:

Characteristics:

My Say:
Like usual, Beauty Diary mask often come with a pleasant scent. But I can't explain how do it smell. Hmm...Probably smell like those black pearl in the milky tea. :p Compare with the previous mask, this mask has more essence left in the packaging which I felt is kind of wasted.

I like how smooth and soft my skin felt after applying this. But somehow the next morning I noticed my skin started to peel off. I suspect it might be my skin reaction on acidic contains in it. Therefore I've learn that I can't apply the leftover essence on my face as it will lead to dehydration and irritation. But it works fine to me if I wait for the remaining essence to absorb into my skin after using the mask without adding the leftover essence from the packaging.

Rating: 3/5

I personally think that this mask is OK for me. But Strawberry Yogurt and Natto works better for me. (Will review Natto soon) Though this mask make my skin smooth and brighten my complexion but the ingredients is not my type. Well, maybe it is just not for me.

Review: My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt Mask 我的美丽日记草莓优格面膜

Sorry for being MIA these few weeks. Exams are really killing my time :'(( Due to exam stress, my skin condition is very bad now. I say dehydrated, dull skin, acne breakouts. Sigh. (Breakouts usually happens to me when I'm stress and not enough sleep - burning midnight oil heh? )

I have an excessively haul on Beauty Diary Mask months ago. Of all the 17 flavors, so far I've spotted my favorite. :D My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt Mask. The name itself already sounds yummy isn't it?

Though this mask is not as wet as the other Beauty Diary Mask, but the essence is still there after 30 minutes of applying.

I LOVE the immediate result from this mask. It really brightens and whitens your face after 30 minutes. I look the feeling of my skin being so smooth and supple the next morning. The best thing I found about this is it reduce redness on my acne! (You judge from the picture below)

Pardon for my really bad skin during exam week. If you've notice, the differences. My face become brighter and whiter. Th redness on my skin is being reduce too. *heart heart*

Rating: 4.5/5

I absolutey LOVE this mask!! I love the significant result that it delivers and not to say the very affordable price of the mask. But do beware of the imitation mask that have been selling actively in the market now. Connie has an article on how to identify a fake Beauty Diary Mask. :) (Thank God I've checked all my mask I bought is authentic.)

Have you guys using My Beauty Diary Mask? How do you find it? Do let me know ya.

Back from Holidays

I've been really busy past few week that my blog have been neglected.

During Raya one week break, I went back home for holidays. My time have been fully occupied till then. When I came back university, I have tons of presentations and assignments to hand in. *Which enough to kill my sleeping time*

I got myself a BIG haul of masks during holiday break. The famous sheet mask all the way from Taiwan, My Beauty Diary Mask. :) I will review the mask soon in future.I don't remember how many pieces I bought. But it can lasts me almost 10 months if I use it everyday! (I'm a lazy person, I don't use mask that often) This sounds insane isn't it? I guess I will not have any purchase on facial mask anyhow in future.

Anyway, HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL!!

Review: The Face Shop Raspberry Root Sleeping Mask

Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask is the top selling product of The Face Shop. This advanced lifting line formulated with Wild Himalayan Raspberry Roots instantly lifts tightens pores and re-contours the skin that lacks resilience. [Taken from TheFaceShop]

What is a sleeping mask for? A mask that you can use throughout the night while sleeping with it. Isn't the name itself sounds interesting enough? I bought this bottle of mask quite some time ago. The texture is more like a gel and it gives you a slight cooling effect. The best part is the smell of Raspberry in the mask is so decent. I love the smell!!

This must is very suitable for lazy people like me. :P The only thing you do is before going to bed, apply it on your freshly cleaned face and off to bed. Once you apply and massage to your face, it absorb into your skin. So, you don't need to worry about feeling sticky under your pillow.

I woke up in the morning and wash my face as usual. Dag!! To my surprise, my skin is so soft and supple like a baby-skin!! I LOVE THIS!! With this mask, makeup are easier to apply too. This mask actually helps lifting, tighten-pores and hydrating. When we're too lazy to have a proper mask, this mask are useful especially while traveling when your skin need more water.

Rating: 4/5

Overall this sleeping mask is very good and I love it!
The only cons I found after using it for 5months is that this mask does not seems to have much effect on me anymore and I don't know why. But one big bottle can last up to 8 months. ^^

This mask can be purchased at The Face Shop at about RM99.90. (They jacked up the price since I bought)
