   Pros:
   -moisturizing
   -smells good
   -refreshing

   Cons:
   none

   It’s a really good moisturizing mask and it’s quite cheap. I like to put it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before opening the package and putting the mask on my face. Especially in the summer. A cold mask is so refreshing especially when it’s scorching hot outside!

   Skin is also brighter the next day. But the brightening effect is temporary. Lasts only for a day or two. But since it’s not the main purpose of the mask, i think it’s just an added bonus.

   Overall, I really like this mask. I even stocked up 3 boxes of 5 sheet masks last time I went back to Hong Kong.

   Ahhh sheet masks! One of the most “imported” beauty products/ritauls come to North America from the Far East and due to their novelty (and cheery packaging!) many-many girls hyped it up so much that it seemed like everyone loved them. The variety is endless and each type is said to address specific skin issues and skin types – Black Pearl, Aloe, Cooling, Strawberry Yogurt, Natto etc.
   I purchased a variety pack from our local Asian market, delighted and optimistic of course. My box came with 10 masks (2 of each) and i was looking forward to checking them out, looking over ingredients, directions, concerns….Unfortunately i couldnt do any of those since the English translation was missing except for the mask name! I was disappointed but figured i could do some research online and pick up some tips on how to use it, how long, which benefits to expect etc. It was easier said than done but eventually i got the hang of it…proceeding with caution!
   I put the mask on my face after cleansing and i have to admit the cooling sensation felt amazing on my skin for the duration of my “experiment”! I removed the sheet after 20 minutes, massaged the excess essence into my cheeks and was pleasently surprised by how soft, supple, plump and cool my skin felt! I loved it – the cynic in me lost the battle 🙂
   Fastforward 2-3 hours, my face is going back to its usual “tired self”, the skin is no longer supple to the touch and to top it off i was a bit itchy 🙁 Hmm so the results were short lived but i went and tried a different mask the next day…SAME results!!!
   Yes these masks feel great, look cute and give you radiant skin for a little while BUT for me this is not enough! I want skincare masks to address my skin issues, leave me with a glow, last for much longer and produce some kind of long-term effects (or promises). These masks obviously didnt fit the bill so i gave up – i only put up an effort if its worth it and 3 hours of softness are not a very good incentive for me.
   I can see these masks working for special occassions for that extra short-term glow BUT real skincare they are not 🙁 No matter how cute the packaging is…

   Firstly you can’t beat the price. Hydrates and tones but I wouldnt say it’s the best of the best. However it’s a satisfactory introduction to the MBD masks range as it doesn’t break me out or irritate my skin. I left it on for 40 mins and it still felt damp so I slathered the rest on my legs and arms. Tends to drop on my neck in the first 5-10mins but u can’t fault them for providing more essence. Will not repurchase only because I find there are other masks which can do more. Easy on the pocket to sample 🙂 will be trying thee other masks soon
