[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] SKINLITE Vital Nourishing Red Ginseng Mask

Again, I'm going to review something which I did not buy from Hong Kong. It is this SKINLITE Vital Nourishing Red Ginseng Mask

The product claims that it is specially formulated with high concentrations of Oriental Red Ginseng, Collagen and Vitamin E which help to revitalize and nourish tired skin. It penetrates deep into the skin, providing abundant nutrition and moisture.

My take:

The smell of ginseng is quite strong from the mask. However, because I'm rather a huge fan of scents or fragrances and herbs in general, I was pleased with the smell. The scent was strong but it wasn't sickeningly strong, so that was definitely a plus for me. However, if you do not like oriental herbs and their smell, you might want to stay clear away from this.

The material of the mask was less than thrilling. Even though the packet said that the mask is made out of 100% pulp, I did not like the fact that the sheet was thinner than most sheet masks.

There was a lot of essence or serum or whatever you call it in the package. If you use it straight from the packet, the essence will drip all over and it will be very messy. Before I used mine, I squeezed out some of the essence from the mask and then proceed to using it. There is a lot of excess essence which I managed to use like a skin serum. So it is a very economical mask.

The mask claims to add moisture into your skin, but my skin didn't feel any more moist than before I used the mask. I did feel more revitalized but I'm guessing that was due to the strong scent of the mask.

I like the brand because they have many ranges and types of masks, so there is something for everyone. However, I would not repurchase any of their products because from my experience with SKINLITE, even before writing reviews here, I have noticed that SKINLITE products hardly deliver their claims, save for a few products. To me, SKINLITE masks are just feel-good products which I use only because I feel like using but not because of their functions.

I bought this at a sale by Sasa at Great World City for S$1.95.
