This mask is an upgraded version of the regular My Beauty Diary(MBD) Mask. Price-wise, it is almost double the usual MBD mask price.
Fit & Size: The fit is OK but this mask sheet is more easily torn than the usual mask sheet so have to handle with more care.
Sensitivity: Very Slight stinking feeling for 1 minute or so.
Content: It is suppose to be fragrance free.
Verdict: 6.5/10 This mask will be especially good for reviving dull skin. It really brightens my skin a lot and creates an illusion that my skin has turned fairer. The hydration effect is also good. The packaging is really sweet and nice. Kind of a pick me up for a not so good mood day. Going to recycle the greeting card packaging, re-design it and give it a new lease of life again. Such a pity to throw it away.

Functions

Fit & Size: As per all “My Beauty Diary” Mask
Sensitivity: No negative reaction
Absorbency: Can be massaged well into skin
Content: The rose smell is stronger than the Watson’s rose mask and feels much nicer.
Verdict: 6/10 There is no visible whitening effect which is kind of disappointing. Only leaves the skin moisturised.
The mask contains premium rose water and natural plant extracts to moisturise and rehydrate your skin. Leaves your skin feeling revitalised and energised.
Fit & Size: Could be uncomfortable for some people because the cutting is a bit tight.
Sensitivity: I seem to have a bit of breakouts the next day due to this mask. Very little.
Absorbency: A lot of fluid but it will dry out if you wear the mask longer than 15minutes but no longer than 30 minutes. To hasten the process, massage the remaining fluid into your skin.
Content: The rose fragrance is nice for me but there are some people who might dislike it.
Verdict: 6.5/10. The mask does leaves the skin revitalised and moisturised. It will be great as a mask to perk up dull/dry skin before makeup. I think when Watsons has a promotion, it is sold at S$4.95 for 5 masks. I would think it is good value then. If sold at original price, think S$8.90, I will not consider. I wish they can have better looking packaging.

Verdict: 5.5/10
I am in a phase of testing out all sorts of mask sheets. Bought over 14 different mask sheets from these 3 Taiwanese brands : Hokkaido Lover , My Scheming Beauty and My Beauty Diary.
My Beauty Diary has the most attractive packaging, the most positive reviews and a bit more pricier among the 3 brands.
I tried the Hokkaido Lover : Q10 Elastin Mask yesterday night.
Q10 Elastin (yellow packaging) – Improves wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Smoothens, hydrates and prevents wrinkles and helps to improves skin elasticity.
Major ingredients: Q10, Collagen, Bolivian uric acid, wild herbs extract, root extract, rosemary extract.
Mask Sheet Fit & Size : I consider my face to be average size for an Asian. The sheet size and cut does not cover my face well. Could be a bit bigger to have better coverage.
Sensitivity : There is no stinging feeling at all.
Absorbency : Liquid content not easily absorbed.
Content : Generous amount of mask essence that could be used on other areas after removal from face.
After effect : Only a brightening effect on the skin. Does not hydrate the skin well as not easily absorbed. My skin still “thirsty” for moisturiser when I apply after the mask. Usually, if I put on a good moisturising mask. my face does not require much or no moisturiser after the mask.
Verdict : 4/10 points. Not recommended.
