[Review] My Beauty Diary Chocolate Truffle Sheet Mask

As promised in the MBD Mini Teatime Set post, this is the review on the final product, the Chocolate Truffle Sheet Mask

Like all MBD masks, I love the fit of the mask. The mask is pretty thin but that was okay because that way, it won't hold so much essence that it'll drip all over.

The smell was very mild. There was only a small hint of chocolate in the scent, and you actually need to really breathe in the scent to tell that there is a scent.

the mask claims to moisturize and soften the face. After using the mask, I did notice my skin was less dull, and I felt my skin was smoother and softer. The brightening effect was only slight but that was better than nothing!

Usually, I go for masks with a stronger fragrance because I love different kinds of scents. But in this case, I would absolutely repurchase this because even though the scent of the chocolate wasn't that strong, it was very very pleasant. Plus, I love the effect of the mask. It's not everyday that you'll come across affordable masks which is effective :)

So there concludes my review on the entire MBD Mini Teatime Set. I really enjoyed using the products from the set, but if I had a choice to repurchase the set again, I wouldn't, because I only love the masks and the other two facial wash/scrub were only mediocre in my opinion. There is simply too many other awesome face washes in the market these days. So if I had to love something and repurchase something, it will definitely be the masks.

Ciao and until next time~!

[Review] My Beauty Diary Earl Grey Tea & Macaron Sheet Mask

I'm on a roll today so I shall do one more review and it is this My Beauty Diary Earl Grey Tea & Macaron Sheet Mask

I love MBD masks since they first launched here in Singapore because again, I like the packaging and the wide range of selection.

This sheet mask came in the mini teatime set I got in Hong Kong. I've been seeing this everywhere in Singapore but never really got around to buying it. So I jumped at the chance of getting this when I went Hong Kong.

Anyway, because the description and all are written in Chinese, I can only say that this mask is for brightening and moisturizing purposes, especially for dull skin.

The ingredients listed were a joy because I saw so many plant extracts. I know that sometimes (if not most of the times) the concentration of extracts in the mask is to a bare minimum, but at least I feel at ease that there are those extracts and not some ingredient that has been chemically manufactured.



The first thing I love about this is that the mask fit perfectly. I bet MBD masks have one of the best fit ever.

I am always wary about any dripping essence because I hate to be messy. So even for this MBD mask, I was careful to squeeze some of the essence back into the packet before unfolding the mask for use.

The fragrance of the mask is very nice and mild. Even though the mask states that there are macarons elements, the fragrance is more of the citrus-y kind, which is exactly what earl grey tea smell like.

The mask really brightens the skin and moisturizes really well too. The excess essence on the face is easily absorbed when you massage it well and thorough. Plus, some of the essence will inevitably flow down to your neck so you can also massage your neck to make most use of the essence to brighten your neck area.

Even though I really like this flavour mask, I may not repurchase this because there are other MBD masks which I would like to try out as well.

[Review] My Beauty Diary Vanilla Souffle Face Scrub

As promised in the MBD Strawberry Yogurt post, I'm going to do a review on My Beauty Diary Vanilla Souffle Face Scrub

Like all other MBD products, the label for this product is adorable.

The product has a unique nozzle. Maybe I'm a noob or something, but this is the first time I see a nozzle with such a shape and that seems really unique for me.



The product comes out as a cute ball (or whatever shape it is) of fluff.



When you squeeze out the product, there is a soft sizzling sound from the fluffy face wash/scrub, like how a souffle is when it comes straight from the oven.

The product apparently helps to scrub off dead skin cells. I can vouch for this because the first time I used it, I was all like "what are these flaky things?" And I am pretty darn sure it wasn't any exfoliating material. So upon closer examination, they really are dead skin cells because I once sampled Cure! and what came off was just that: dead skin cells. However, according to some reviews from the internet, the flaky things are by-product from the product itself. But I think it's more of dead skin cells.

The scent was way less than thrilling. It does not smell anything like vanilla, much less vanilla souffle. There is, though, a strong smell of alcohol, which can be a put-off.

However, because there is alcohol, people with sensitive skin may want to steer clear away from this. If the smell of alcohol is strong, who knows how much is the alcohol content from the product. So just to be on the safe side, avoid it altogether.

Although I love MBD products (mostly because of their cute packaging and their wide selection of choices) I would not repurchase this. And the biggest part of the reason is the alcohol smell really freaks me out. Usually I don't really care that there is alcohol in the product because I know I can always replenish moisture with Hada Labo. However, the smell of alcohol for this product is so strong, even I am concerned how my skin will be if I use it in the long-term. So after this bottle, I am definitely not repurchasing it again.

Until next time~!

[Review] My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt Amino Acid Cleanser

As I promised in the previous post, I shall review one of the items inside the MBD Sweet Teatime Mini Set. So in this post, I shall review the Strawberry Yogurt Amino Acid Cleanser.

This cleanser comes in a cute tiny tub which contains 30ml of the stuff. I love the colour of the tub and the label is really cute as well.



The colour of the cleanser is a shimmery pink. There are extremely fine beads which helps in exfoliating as well. It doesn't smell all that like strawberry yogurt and the scent is very mild, but you can definitely tell that it is a cleanser which is has strawberry elements.

When you first apply the product on your damp face, you might feel that you're not using enough and that it doesn't foam very well. However, upon washing for a while with water, it will become more foamy rather than the initial "dryness". After washing my face with the cleanser, my skin didn't feel tight at all and instead, I felt my skin becoming very refreshed.

I also like the fine scrubby feeling very much, because I am a fan of exfoliating, no matter how gentle or how rough.

The next product I'll be reviewing will be the Vanilla Souffle Face Scrub which is part of the MBD Mini Set.

Stay tuned!

[Review] My Beauty Diary Sweet Teatime Mini Set

This is another item I got for my trip in Hong Kong (now that I think about it, I should have made a haul post, but oh well, whatever). It is My Beauty Diary Sweet Teatime Mini Set! :D

For a long time now, I love MBD (short form btw) products because the packaging are just so lovely. They are simple but yet so appealing with their soft pastel colours. But anyway, moving on...

When you first open the box, you'll see details of each item inside:

 Looks so pretty, right?

Apparently the voucher expired last year, so this batch was last year's batch. Nonetheless, the voucher looks nice.

The mini set includes Strawberry Yogurt Amino Acid Cleanser (the little tub), Vanilla Souffle Face Scrub (the bottle) and 2 masks: Chocolate Truffle Mask and Earl Grey Tea & Macaron Mask.

I really enjoyed this purchase because the cleanser and the face scrub are like fun-sized and I don't need more than a month to finish using them. This is really important to me because I like to try many new things and I have a tendency to neglect some stuff and then the next time I see them, they have already expired, so yup.

I will review each product after I used them so keep your eyes peeled!

I got this for HK$79 at Angel Cosmetics in Hong Kong. Personally, I found it a little bit more expensive than it should have been; the bottle and tub are rather small and the masks were, well, masks. But then again, they were so cute that I couldn't resist.
