My beauty diary mask review plus a korean mask review

*11*

Hi readers,

Hope everybody's been well...weather is actually getting pretty cold over here 0_0 so winter is definitely on its way.

Today's post is about two mask reviews. I've only used each product once so it's not highly accurate but I feel like I only need to have used it once to get an impression of how it works :D One of the masks is a Taiwanese brand and the other is a Korean one.

This is the Taiwanese brand: My beauty Diary. It's pretty popular and I've seen many people use it and I like it but I have mixed opinions. I agree that they have nice packaging and cute scents but so far nothing I've used has screamed wow at me. I also bought a vanilla soufflé cleanser from this brand which looks so nice but haven't used it yet, I'll review it at a later date. This is the second MBD mask I've used (my first was the black pearl mask) and I was slightly disappointed. The rose scent wasn't very noticeable and my skin didn't feel particularly softer and more hydrated after the use.

My skin before and after looked and felt the same

 

I had it on for about 30mins because it didn't say how long you're supposed to have it on for but I remember doing the other pearl mask for around half an hour. But afterwards when I took it off, my face didn't feel any different.

And then, after all the moisture from the mask on my face had absorbed, my face began to feel dry. The mask didn't actually hydrate my skin :/ The black pearl mask that I used a while ago was not like this, it was pretty hydrating and my skin did feel better after using it, so maybe it's just this type of mask. This rose mask is also meant to be 'whitening' so you'd probably have to use it for a long time before seeing any effect.

I only bought one capsule clay mask from INNISFREE but it has already become my favourite. I definitely recommend it!!! You can comfortably use it for 3 applications and my skin felt super soft, smooth and very white after only one use. I was soo amazed and was so upset I only bought one. My sister bought one as well and I tried it also and it was equally as good, I'd give it full marks! My skin has never looked so nice and bright!!! I didn't take any pictures because I wasn't intending on doing review which I really regret but hopefully you'll trust me on this one.

 


We bought these two :D
 

Pros of the MBD mask are :

Cute packaging

Subtle scent

 

Cons:

Scent not that strong and not rose like

Not hydrating

No English instructions and no diagrams

 

Overall score: 2/5

 

This is the second mask I used, once again it states that it has a chocolate scent I think? But if I hadn't been shown the packaging I wouldn't say it had a chocolate smell to it. Furthermore, it doesn't have any English written on it so you kind of just have to guess what it says. I would have preferred maybe some slight English instruction but it's still easy to follow because it has pictures. This mask is slightly smaller than the other so I feel that it fits better but there's still a lot of excess in some areas but I guess maybe it's because my face is smaller than the average?

 

This mask was more hydrating and brightening than the first but still not as hydrating or brightening as others I have tried. I paid around 85p for this mask so I'd say despite the cute packaging it wasn't really worth it. There are many other masks from Korean brands like etude house and Innisfree where you can get super good masks for the same price or less so I'd rather spend the money there.  

 

Pros

Cute packaging

Easier fit on face

 

Cons

Price not worthwhile for results

Not particularly hydrating or brightening

Scent not obvious

 

Overall score: 2/5

 

Ketchup soldiers (savoury bruschetta like breadsticks with a sweet salsa), Jungle trekker (dried pineapple, chocolate covered honeycomb and vanilla coated pumpkin seeds- I loved the vanilla coated pumpkin seeds so much!), crunch bunch (pretzels and corn chip chunks), Jaffa flapjack (choc and orange flapjack)

Oh and I thought I'd just show you my graze box my friend sent to me. Graze boxes are getting really popular now so my friend sent one for me to try and I love it!!! It was super tasty and healthy as well! There are coupons you can get to have you first box free or if you pay, it costs I think around 3.85 per box or something. There's lots of options to choose from, desserts/seeds and nuts/savoury snacks so there'll definitely be something you like! There's lots that I've found that I love :D

Go try it out!!!

Hope you liked the new post, there'll be a post on cheese straws, homemade pizza plus bakewell slices coming soon as well!!!

See you soon :) To keep updated, follow me on instagram @mylittlebitofheaven
