[beauty review] My Beauty Diary Masks

MBD masks are really popular and after reading many positive reviews, i decided to give it a try.
I initally bought the variety pack which contain about 12 different MBD masks.


My favourites: 

1] Apple Polyphenol Mask [Oil Control and Pore Constringing]
According to their website beautydiary.com..

Shrinking of the pores
Uses mild non-irritant fruit acids extracted from the hibiscus acid essence to clean and clear away old keratin, and prevent the widening of pores. Relying on a carefully balanced mixture of fatty ingredients, the mask promotes shrinkage of the pores, thus improving thequality of the skin towards becoming soft and delicate.

Moisturize,smooth, tone and firm
Combining the effects and influences of nano-spheres and hyaluronic acid, collagen regeneration is accelerated, leading to increased firmness and elasticity of the skin. 

What i think: it definitely does what it says. After using the mask, my pores were noticeably smaller. However my skin did feel abit tight, especially when i smiled. But that tightness was gone after awhile. My complexion looked brighter and smoother too. Fit of the mask was good. And with all MBD masks, there was loads of serum (literally dripping), sufficient for your neck/decolletage area.

Rating: 8/10

2) Aloe Soothing Mask [Moisturizing and Soothing]
Taken from their website:
Moisturizing and repairing
Aloe extract has excellent moisturizing effecton the skin and can provide skin with moisture and nutrients, making skinsmooth, soft, and elastic. With rose fruit plant extracts, it can improve the dry and rough situations of skin, balance skin moisture content, and maintain healthy bright skin.

Deep moisturizing
Seaweed yeast complex has rich amino acids and trace elements and can deeply nourish and moisturize the skin; with the supplement of high-moisturizing factor, hyaluronic acid, it can make skin supple, smooth, and glossy and maintain a sense of moisture for a long time.

What I think: this is by far my favourite mask of the MBD range that I have tried so far! okay i have only tried about 12 different types from them. I really love how this mask moisturizes and brightens my complexion. It's even more moisturizing than the hyaluronic mask they have. My skin looks smoother too. And it feels really soft and bouncy after. I was pretty amazed that the results were so obvious after just one use. I recommended this mask to my mum and she loved it too. 

Rating: 9.5/10, definitely repurchasing!

Why I like MBD: I have tried so many different types of masks from various brands, from Korean brands to international big brands. I splurge when it comes to beauty products because i believe it is important to maintain good skin when you are young to set a good foundation. I admit i was initially skeptical of MBD because it was relatively cheap-about SGD1+ per mask, and usually you get what you pay for so i was pleasantly surprised by the results. It is very value for money and worth every cent! 

My tips:
1) Put the mask in the fridge before application. The cool mask, which can be abit shocking at first, quickly feels comfortable and helps to destress.
2) I usually keep masks on for about 45minutes or more or till they feel dry. For me, I find that the effects of keeping the mask on for 45 minutes vs 20 minutes-the longer time had me seeing more visible effects of the mask.
3) The mask pack contains 23mls of serum-always remember to put them on your neck/decolletage/etc. Apply upward motion when putting on the neck. The skin on our neck can show signs of aging like wrinkles so remember to apply your facial treatment products there too.
