mask sheet review : my beauty diary earl grey tea macaron & skin food juice white cheek sheet

This would be my last post before i travel to Jakarta tomorrow.. Normally i don't update or write my blog when i was there, but this time i will stay quite long there (around 3 months) so i hope i could spare some time to write in here but well,,let's see :) anyway.. today i'm gonna write a review about mask sheet. Since normally mask sheet will be just a short review, so i'll just put two of them in one post.

First it.. My beauty diary Earl grey tea & macaroon sheet mask

As you may know by now, my beauty diary is my fav brand for mask sheet because of the cheap price, nice result, nice scent, all in all, everything is just nice for me. and this one? OMG from the name itself it's tempting already. tea and macaroon?who doesn't want to try that?
From the name, of course i expected some sweet or delicious scent from this mask..but i guess now i'm dissapointed by my own expectation just because it doesn't smell delisious as i thought it would be. The scent of this mask is really light in fact, i have to really sniff to it to be able to smell something.. There is only a light hint, sweet scent, not something delicious or yummy..lol. But anyway it's just a scent and i think many people prefer product like this anyway, with only a hint of sweet scent.

The quality, just like any other my beauty diary mask, never fail me. it did good as a mask sheet. It's sooo watery, moisturizing and hydrating, that although i put it on my face for 30 minutes it still didn't get dry. It also didn't give me any uncomfortable feeling like itchy, redness or rash.. it was a smooth comfortable 30minutes during this mask on my face.
and the result after using this mask, i got a fresh-brighten face, felt so hydrated. another nice mask sheet to keep!


Skin food Juice white cheek sheet

Actually it's not a face mask sheet. as you can see from the name, it's a cheek sheet. Yup! it's only for your cheek area!

can you read the description from the packaging? i hope it's clear enough.. well the promise is to minimize current skin discoloration and help brighten complexion.
But i was wondering.. why only for cheek? why not the whole face?
this is the cheek mask looks like..

it looks like an eye patch but bigger.. but in my opinion, it's still to small for cheek. it didn't cover the whole cheek.. only upper part of it. Or maybe my face to chubby and most korean girls have slim face? haha..

The mask itself is not like any regular mask sheet,, it's like with a jelly texture in it..

So last night i tried using this cheek mask.. put it on my cheek area and i left it for around 30 minutes..it felt a little bit cold, nice cooling feeling, didn't give me any discomfort, didn't make my cheek itchy. Then after 30minutes i removed it..
the result?
nothing!
seriously.. nothing!
i don't see anything.. no brighten complexion or at least brighten and glowing cheek maybe? lol.. well of course there's no such thing like a magic product where you can get instant result, but sometimes mask sheet or mask pack can give you instant brightening or glowing or any other effect although only temporary. and this cheek mask didn't give me that.
of course, it's written in the packaging,  "apply 2 or 3 times per week"  so one application is not enough? but cmooon.. who will use this 2-3 times per week? well not me... with a price even more expensive than a mask sheet but only cover cheek area, i would just go for a regular mask sheet like my beauty diary than this one.

so ladies,,, that's it for today,, i gotta start packing.. see u soon!

mask sheet review : Baviphat juicy mask sheet grape & my beauty diary aloe mask

So these are 2 mask sheet products i use this last 2 weeks. Normally i only used mask sheet every 3 weeks and using wash off pack/mask in the other 2 weeks, but lately my skin has been drying with some dry flakes (euuuggghhh) and some redness so i was using mask sheet 2 weeks in a row (once a week).Well, there's no other better time to test out a mask sheet than when you have some trouble on your face right.. so here we go..

First i'll start with Baviphat juicy mask sheet in grape
I bought this from chic-princessa, my fav online seller who sell variety of ready stock cosmetic and skin care products, for Rp.14.000. This grape variant is for lifting and bright purpose, as written on the packaging. And this is some extra information from the net (from ebay, after googling)

My experience with baviphat juicy mask sheet grape :
First, it smells lovely and sweet. i couldn't smell grape in it, but i could smell a little hint of candy smell? The size of the mask sheet is fit to my face, not too big (some mask sheets are too big too my face that it could end up with many folds of the mask on my face), this one ended up good on my face. It is so watery, and there's some more liquid left in the packaging that you can apply or massage on your face after you are done with the mask.
When i used this mask, my face felt dryer than usual, maybe because of the dry weather too here, and i started to spot some dry flakes on my cheek, forehead and upper nose.. uh ohh... my face is getting dry.. So at night i applied this mask. During the waiting time, there's no uncomfortable, itchy or something i felt, so it was good. i left it for 15 minutes and checked, the mask still not drying and still good so i continued until 20 minutes or so, then removed it.
The result...?
i felt my face hydrated, thanks for this mask..no dry flakes..but too bad the effect didn't last long. until the next day my face still good and hydrated but the next other day my face started tp get dry again. well i guess in this case when my face need extra care i should apply the mask twice a week. There is also refreshing effect and the skin felt firm to touch, which i like. As the brightening effect, i didn't see much. But it's ok and overall i like this mask. With the affordable price like that, i would definetely buy more variants of this mask.

next is.. my beauty diary aloe mask
I bought this also from chic-princessa for Rp.14.000. my stock is almost finish so maybe next march or april i will have to nuy more of my beauty diary mask sheet. As you might know, my beauty diary mask sheet is one of my fav mask sheet and i've been trying many variants before. This time is aloe! This is the information i got from google;

a week after using baviphat juicy mask sheet, my face get dry again, this one even worse, i got some redness on my cheek, and near mouth area, that sting a little bit when i put emulsion or lotion. it's like a sun burn but not that worse.and some dry flakes to that looks like the skin peeling... ouuuuccchhh. Around 2 or 3 years ago, i found the "magical" of aloe. Ever since i lived in Yemen, there are some time like this (normally during winter) that my face gets so dry, dryflakes and redness, and i found out that the cure is products containing aloe vera. Years ago i found the cure in skin food bb cream aloe and another year before i remember i also used something with aloe vera to cure this problem. So this time, it's a good time to test the magic of aloe again.
When i put the mask on my face, at first there was this sting sensation, which is normal at this time since i got some redness on my face, but thank God it was only the first minute and after that it was gone. i waited for 20 minutes and checked, still good, not drying. still sooo hydrating. so i even continue waiting until 30 minutes Then i removed it and checked on the mirror. voila!!! OMG, the redness was gone!! the dry flakes also gone.. My face looked "normal" !! i was so happy that it cured the redness burn-like on my face. and i could still feel the effect until the next 2or 3 days.. i think the 3rd days the dryness was back. the redness a little but not as bad as before using this mask. oh i wish i have more stock of this...The other effect is also refreshing, fully hydrated and moisturised.
so overall, i like this mask. it worked good as a cure for my dry-sensitive-need extra care skin. i should stock up this mask for SOS time like this.

My experience with my beauty diary sake yeast mask

First impression for me would be the scent. at first, it smells... nothing. i tried to sniiff on the mask to check how is the scent. nothing. ok then, so i put it on my face.
the mask size is pretty standard, it's easy to apply evenly on my face, not too big so not too much folding here and there. i waited for 20 minutes. during the mask sheet on, no itchy feel, no uncomfortable feeling, everything was just nice, a little bit cold at first, and after 20 minutes the mask still not drying. so i continued for some more minutes until i felt the forehead area started drying. i peeled off, and massage the leftover liquid. Oh. until forgot to mention, after that 20 minutes, the mask started smell something... expired. What..
yeah, it started to smell unpleasant. i was wondering how come i didn't smell anything before i put the mask on but later it started to smell weird....hehe. seriously.is it only me or anyone else feel the same? i read one of the review on blogger and she said one thing she doesn't like is the smell, and she could smell it from the beginning.
The result? just like any other my beauty diary mask, brighten, fresh, moisturised, whiter, healthy looking skin! but the result is temporary only.

For me, this is not my favourite my beauty diary mask because of the scent. Other my beauty diary mask smell more pleasant and sweet. so this one i will not repurchase.

mask sheet review : my beauty diary bird's nest mask

This would be a short review, because overall, there is no much difference with other my beauty diary mask i've tried.
Anyway, this one is bird's nest. Bird's nest? as a mask? for your face? hemmmmm...i don't really know what is this bird's nest suppose to do to our skin. no information in english about that on the packaging.
first, the scent, it smells like jelly-- those supermarket jelly.. what's the name of it? "swallow"? with that bird logo. it was very popular in Indonesia. well, it smells like that.
so i put it on my face lasti night, wait for 20minutes... well, it was a nice 20 minutes as i didn't feel any itchy or uncomfortable feeling. it felt cold on my skin, and after 20 minutes it was still very wet and moisturised, not drying. i waited for more.. then i took it off, and it was still soo wet and watery. my face was still wet with the liquid from the mask, i massaged a bit for the liquid to absorb in my skin, still wet. i have to wipe it gently with cotton pad before applying night cream.
and the result?
voila! nice fresh skin, brighter and moisturized. not bad at all. another recomendation mask from my beauty diary!

mask sheet review : my beauty diary provence lavender mask

who doesn't like my beauty diary mask sheet? it is not expensive, and looots if variants, you will not get bored of trying. i bought some variants of my beauty diary mask last time i shopped at www.chic-princessa.com.
this one is provence lavender, and here's what i thought:
scent :
the scent is not as lovely as i espected. i mean, it is lavender. lavender should smell lovely, relaxing, like you are in spa or something. but this one has only very light not too lavender. i even sniffed on the mask and the inside of packaging to smell some lavender but i just couldn't find it. it was only this light scent but not really like lavender.
the mask experience
nice, no itchy or something uncomfortable during my 20minutes with this mask on.
the effect after 
brightening! my face look whiter and brighter, but not much moisturising effect like from some other mask sheet, which is i was a bit confused here. i thought lavender should be moisturising not brightening. but anyway, as long as it has some good effect, i am happy.
wait.
the next morning (which is this morning) i woke up and when i looked my self in the mirror, heyyyy... where is my spot? last night i had this red spot sittig on my cheek, new one, and this morning it was almost gone! i was wondering, was it because the mask?

overall, i will keep buying other variants of my beauty diary until i try them all. hehehe

mask sheet review : my beauty diary strawberry yogurt

fiuuuuhh.. finally.. i can access my blog. i wrote on my previous post about my problem sign in gmail and blogspot. after around 4days trying do everything to sign in, i gave up and i gave my laptop to my husband and asked him to fix the problem. This morning when i tried again, somehow it worked! i can sign in.. phew.. i didn't know what happened or what he did to fix it, i hope it is not happening again.

anyway.. back to more review!! i have many stuff waiting for review.. i hope i have enough time!lol.
ok, this one is short review about a mask sheet that i used last night, which is my beauty diary strawberry yogurt;

first impression when i opened the sachet, smells niceeee... smell just what its written there : strawberry and yogurt. the smell of yogurt make it smells sooo delicious, sweeeeet....
nest, i put it on my face, then wait.... 15 minutes later, the mask still sit there comfortly, no itchy feeling or burning or anything uncomfortable. in fact i enjoyed my me time with this mask and a novel...
after 15 minutes, i checked the mask, still wet and moist, not drying.. so i waited another 5minutes before removing the mask. after that, i checked my face on the mirror. it looked sooo fresh, brighter, and when i touched it, fully moisturised. loved it!

there is ingridients list on the back of packaging.

overall, i like this MBD mask. in fact i've tried around 5-6 variants of MBD and so far i like them all and no bad side effect on me.

review : my beauty diary mask -- cooling mask & red wine mask

This is the copy of my old post from my old blog http://galleryibu.multiply.com

** my beauty diary cooling mask
cooling mask -- heem, lihat dari namanya, "cooling", is it suppose to use on summer, where it's hot and you need some cooling? pertama aku mikirnya begitu. tapi udah 3 tahun ini di yaman, tiap winter aku selalu "suffering" dari udara dingin kering yang bikin kulit muka jadi super sensitif, kering, kadang sampe ngelupas dan merah2, pokoknya efeknya justru kaya' sun burn, kaya habis berjemur di pantai pertengahan bulan juli.

ada saatnya muka lagi "meradang", dan berdasarkan pengalaman obat instannya ya maskeran, terutama masker sekali pakai (mask sheet). jadi aku selalu sedia beberapa mask sheet untuk saat2 darurat. yup, ga beli banyak2 dan ga pake setiap minggu karena mask sheet klo dihitung2 jatohnya mahal, cuma sekali pake.. 15-25 ribu (standar masker korea yang aku beli yah), malah banyak yang lebih mahal..huhu.. sementara kalo mask pack, seperti skinfood rice mask, atau banana yogurt misalnya, 70ribuan, bisa puas berkali-kali, ga abis2..bisa berbulan bulan (tergantung seberapa sering juga sih..) tapi jatohnya kan jadi lebih murah..

anywayyy,, back to the product.. beberapa waktu lalu kulit ku "meradang" minta perhatian lebih. merah2 agak ngelupas di sekitar pipi dan daerah deket alis.udah afal banget deh, ini serangan winter. dan harus maskeran pake mask sheet. dari 4 masker my beauty diary yang aku beli di chicprincessa, aku pilih cooling mask yang warna biru, pas dipake, duuuhhh nyut nyutan,, kerasa banget perihnya di bagian yang merah2 kering.tunggu semenit, 2 menit,, gatelll.. tapi lama2 mereda, dan sensasi nya emang cooling bangett.. asik kali dipake siang2 panas terik.maskernya juga tahan lama, ga cepet ngering. biar udah 20menit masih kerasa fresh.
begitu masker aku lepas..voilaaa... sukses!! instant treatment.. tinggal apply lotion, tidur,, hemmm mantabb.. besokan paginya muka udah normal lagi.sukses nih sukses..

** my beauty diary mask red wine
again, after some weeks, memang ada saat2nya sih kulit meradang antara bulan desember-awal maret, kulitku langganan tiba2 meradang, merah, kering parah.. pas kejadian lagi, tinggal cek stok masker mask sheet.. pilihan kali ini yang red wine.. teringat enaknya wangi innisfree wine peeling softener dan sleeping pack, asumsi aku, pasti ini enak deh wanginya.
pake di muka.. efek pertama sama kaya cooling mask.. nyut nyut di kulit.. gatel serasa pengen digaruk.. tapi lamaan dikit.. enakkk.. lembab,, ga bikin kulit mengencang yang muka ga bisa gerak, mau senyum aja susah..
wanginya enak,, dan again, it did such a magical thing,,, instant treatment!! besokannya udah normal lagi deh kulitnya,,,


hemmm overall,, ternyata my beauty diary mask ini bagus juga ya... 2 produk ini cukup buat meyakinkan aku untuk besok2 beli lagi, coba varian lainnya dari my beauty diary..

update march 2011--) i've order more my beauty diary masks..can't wait to try them
